DHCP Connection Type Set Up:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the iConnectAccess621 to obtain an
IP address automatically from the server. With dynamic addressing, a device may have
a different IP address every time it connects to the network. This is not commonly used
in Australia. Before configuration, please check with your DSL Provider / ISP to ensure
that this mode is supported.
