administrators manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP (Internet
Protocol) configurations on a computer network. When using the Internet's set
of protocols (TCP/IP), in order for a computer system to communicate to
another computer system it needs a unique IP address. Without DHCP, the IP
address must be entered manually at each computer system. DHCP lets a
network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central
point. The purpose of DHCP is to provide the automatic (dynamic) allocation of
IP client configurations for a specific time period (called a lease period) and to
eliminate the work necessary to administer a large IP network.
To manually configure the IP address of the controller, move the cursor bar to
the Main menu Ethernet Configuration Function item and then press the
Enter
key. The Ethernet Configuration menu appears on the screen. Move the
cursor bar to DHCP Function item, then press
Enter
key to show the DHCP
setting. Select the “
Disabled
’ or ‘
Enabled”
option to enable or disable the
DHCP function.
