3.7.7.1 DHCP Function
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows network ad-
ministrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of
IP (Internet Protocol) addresses on a computer network. When
using the TCP/IP protocol (Internet protocol), it is necessary for
a computer to have a unique IP address in order to communi-
cate to other computer systems. Without DHCP, the IP address
must be entered manually at each computer system. DHCP lets
a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses
from a central point. The purpose of DHCP is to provide the
automatic (dynamic) allocation of IP client configurations for a
specific time period (called a lease period) and to minimize the
work necessary to administer a large IP network. To manually
configure the IP address of the controller, move the cursor bar
to DHCP Function item, then press Enter key to show the DHCP
setting. Select the “Disabled” or “Enabled” option to enable or
disable the DHCP function. If DHCP is disabled, it will be neces-
sary to manually enter a static IP address that does not conflict
with other devices on the network.
