3.7.6.1 DHCP Function
DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol) allows network ad-
ministrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of
IP (Internet Protocol) addresses on a computer network. When
using the TCP/IP protocol (Internet protocol), it is necessary for
a computer to have a unique IP address in order to communi-
cate to other computer systems. Without DHCP, the IP address
must be entered manually at each computer system. DHCP lets
a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses
from a central point. The purpose of DHCP is to provide the
automatic (dynamic) allocation of IP client congurations for a
specic time period (called a lease period) and to minimize the
work necessary to administer a large IP network. To manually
congure the IP address of the controller, move the cursor bar
to DHCP Function item, then press Enter key to show the DHCP
setting. Select the “Disabled” or “Enabled” option to enable or
disable the DHCP function. If DHCP is disabled, it will be neces-
sary to manually enter a static IP address that does not conict
with other devices on the network.

3.7.6.2 Local IP address
If you intend to set up your client computers manually (no
DHCP), make sure that the assigned IP address is in the same
range as the default router address and that it is unique to your
private network. However, it is highly recommend to use DHCP
if that option is available on your network. An IP address alloca-
tion scheme will reduce the time it takes to set-up client com-
