networking parameters from the DHCP server.
Notes:
For this parameter to take effect, a device reset is required.
After you enable the DHCP server, do the following:
a. Enable DHCP and save the configuration.
b. Perform a cold reset using the device's hardware reset button
(soft reset using the Web interface doesn't trigger the
BootP/DHCP procedure and this parameter reverts to
'Disable').
Throughout the DHCP procedure, the BootP/TFTP application
must be deactivated; otherwise the device receives a response
from the BootP server instead of from the DHCP server.
This parameter is a special 'Hidden' parameter. Once defined and
saved in flash memory, its assigned value doesn't revert to its
default even if the parameter doesn't appear in the ini file.
EMS: DHCP Speed Factor
[DHCPSpeedFactor]
Defines the DHCP renewal speed.
[0] = Disable
[1] = (Default) Normal
[2] to [10] = Fast
When set to 0, the DHCP lease renewal is disabled. Otherwise, the
renewal time is divided by this factor. Some DHCP-enabled routers
perform better when set to 4.
Note: For this parameter to take effect, a device reset is required.
[DHCPRequestTFTPParams]
Determines whether the device includes DHCP options 66 and 67 in
DHCP Option 55 (Parameter Request List) for requesting the DHCP
server for TFTP provisioning parameters.
[0] = (Default) Disable
[1] = Enable
Note: For this parameter to take effect, a device reset is required.
43.1.9 NTP and Daylight Saving Time Parameters
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) and daylight saving time parameters are described in
the table below.

Parameter Description
NTP Parameters
Note: For more information on Network Time Protocol (NTP), see 'Simple Network Time Protocol
Support' on page 101.
Web: NTP Server DN/IP
EMS: Server IP Address
[NTPServerIP]
Defines the IP address (in dotted-decimal notation or as an FQDN)
of the NTP server. The advantage of using an FQDN is that multiple
IP addresses can be resolved from the DNS server, providing NTP
server redundancy.
The default IP address is 0.0.0.0 (i.e., internal NTP client is
disabled).
