DHCP
stands for
Dynamic Host Control Protocol
. The DI-524UP has a built-in DHCP
server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address to the computers on
the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting
their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your
computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the
DI-524UP. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the
IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending
address of the IP address pool.
