DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a client/server protocol that automatically provides an
Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other related configuration information such as the
subnet mask and default gateway.
In the case of
FLIP
, it will help the
FLIP
terminal to provide the necessary information to your computer
so you may use the internet normally connecting your computer to the
FLIP
terminal’s PC port.
