Figure 35 'DHCP Configuration' Web Page
The following configurations are possible:
"
In this mode the Speed Touch  Home probes the local network
to verify whether or not, it is the only active DHCP server. If there
is another DHCP server on the network, the STHome slips into
the role of DHCP client. If no response is given after ClientĆtime,
the STHome will act as DHCP server.
CAUTION
Automatic IP Addressing
Operating systems supporting Automatic IP addressing, might
initially not establish IP connectivity with the STHome. This because
the IP address they assimilated is not within the STHome range.
To prevent this problem, please power on your PC(s) after the
STHome has come online.
