The DHCP Mode option of the Network Configuration

Configure->NetworkConfig->DHCP-Mode

DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol), is a mechanism by which a server can automatically set the TCP/IP configuration on PC's and other computers. This configuration includes not only the allocation of an IP Address, but all aspects of the TCP/IP set up necessary to support correct operation with the Server. The client applications still have to be configured, such as Web Browser and e-mail programs.

The Server will configure the following fields in a PC's TCP/IP.

When DHCP is being used to configure IP Addresses, the Server must be told what range of addresses it is allowed to serve. The default IP address of the Server itself is "10.10.10.1" and the default Netmask is "255.255.255.0". Potentially, this means that any PC can be given any address between "10.10.10.2" and "10.10.10.254". If you have some devices on you LAN that have already been assigned an IP address, you will probably want to reduce this range to exclude your existing IP equipment.

Note: DHCP is turned OFF by default.
