Appendix: PC DHCP Settings 

The Quadro LAN port has a DHCP server that provides DHCP IP addresses to devices 
connected to the LAN either directly or through an Ethernet hub or switch. This appendix 
describes how to configure Windows PCs for DHCP. The PC used to access the Quadro 
must meet the following conditions: 

• 

TCP/IP network protocol has to be installed. 

• 

DHCP has to be activated in order to request the IP address automatically.  

Please Note:

 If your PC is already configured for DHCP, then simply power it on and verify 

the LAN LED is lit. If not, check the cable connections. 

 

Follow the instructions below to install TCP/IP and enable DHCP functionality: 

 

TCP/IP and DHCP under Windows 2000/Windows XP
