DHCP Support (NT 4.0 server)
FastPort operates as a client with a DHCP server. Setup is not necessary.
After POST (power on self-test), it sends out DHCP packages. The server
scrolls through a list of addresses allocated for clients and then assigns the
first available number. The IP address stays until power-off or its lease
expires. The DHCP server must be on the same subnet as the client. If not
on the same subnet, a helper is needed on the router.
