DHCP stands  for  Dynamic  Host  Control  Protocol.  The  DI-624  has  a  built-in  DHCP 
server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address to the computers 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 
DI-624. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the 
IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending 
address of the IP address pool.
