1. DHCP Enable:
2. IP Address:
. . .
3. Subnet mask: . . .
4. Gateway IP:

Explanation of contents:
1. *DHCP Enable: Choose Yes to obtain IP/subnet/gateway addresses
automatically from DHCP server.
2. *IP Address:
The Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to your
machine by your network administrator or by DHCP Server.
3. Subnet Mask:
The net mask address assigned by your network
administrator or by DHCP Server.
4. Gateway IP:
The gateway IP address assigned by your network
administrator or by DHCP Server.
Note:
1.
DHCP server: With DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol), a host can automatically be given a unique IP
address each time it connects to a network--making IP address
management an easier task for network administrators. If the
DHCP server is available from your network, you do not need
to enter TCP/IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS information.
Instead, this information will be automatically given for the
product.
2.
IP Address: An IP (Internet Protocol) address uniquely
identifies a host connection to an IP network. System
administrator or network designer assigns the IP address. The
IP address consists of two parts, one identifying the network
and the one identifying your node.
3.
The IP address is usually written as four numbers separated by
periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example,
10.1.30.186 could be an IP address.
