"Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol” (DHCP) is an IP standard designed to reduce the complexity of 

administering IP address configurations. A DHCP server would be set up with the appropriate settings 

for a given network. Such settings would include a set of fundamental parameters such as the gateway, 

DNS, subnet masks, and a range of IP addresses. Using DHCP on a network means administrators 

need  not  configure  these  settings  individually  for  each  client  on  the  network.  The  DHCP  would 

automatically  distribute  them  to  the  clients.   When  the  network  terminal  is connected  to  a  Network 

having a DHCP server, the settings for the Terminals would be as follows. 

 

Click “Setup”, select “Local” tab, and choose “Use Dynamic IP Address”. Click “Save” to exit:
