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).
