Using the Configuration Menu

LAN is short for Local

Area Network. This is

considered your inter-

nal network. These

are the IP settings of

the LAN interface for

the DI-707P. These

ferred to as Private

settings. You may

change the LAN IP

address if needed.

is private to your inter-

nal network and can-

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DI-707P has a built-in DHCP

server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address to the computers on

the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting

their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your

computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the

DI-707P. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP

address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending
address of the IP address pool.
