HOME > DHCP
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DI-604 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-604. 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.
Starting IP Address: The starting IP address for the DHCP server’s IP
assignment.
Ending IP Address: The ending IP address for the DHCP server’s IP
assignment.
Lease Time: The length of time for the IP lease.
