Appendix: PC DHCP Settings
The Quadro has a DHCP server for the LAN side devices that provides DHCP IP ad-
dresses to devices connected to the LAN either directly or through an Ethernet hub or
switch. This appendix describes how to configure Windows PCs for DHCP. The PC used to
access the Quadro must meet the following conditions:
•
TCP/IP network protocol has to be installed.
•
DHCP has to be activated in order to request the IP address automatically.
Please Note:
If your PC is already configured for DHCP and connected directly to the Qu-
adro, then simply power it on and verify the LAN LED is lit. If LED is off, check the cable
connections.
Follow the instructions below to install TCP/IP and enable DHCP functionality:
