Using DHCP to Get an IP Source Address

The DHCP feature lets you use Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol to automatically get an IP source
address for your Network Assistant.

To activate DHCP, press

(IP Config) from the Central

Setup screen; then select DCHP. When you press
(Get Address), the Network Assistant requests to lease
an IP address from a DHCP server (Figure 2-18). The
DHCP address request also occurs automatically if DHCP
is already selected when the Network Assistant detects a
link pulse.

If a DHCP server is found, the display shows the
accepted source IP address, DHCP server information,
and lease time. Pressing

(Get DHCP Address) again

restarts the DHCP process.
