IP Address Distribution (DHCP)

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The Gateway has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will

automatically assign an IP address to the computers /devices 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 Gateway.

The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting

computer/device. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool (refer to the next

page).
