6.4.11 Enabling DHCP
DHCP stands for dynamic host configuration protocol. This is commonly used when a
company uses a fixed (static) IP address such as 81.2.5.12 to show to the outside world, but
the IP addresses inside the company are not seen from the outside and may change. They
may be attributed dynamically by a server (DHCP server) when machines startup.
If your terminal is using Ethernet, you can set the DHCP address to None or Auto. If set to
None, the terminal will not use DHCP because a fixed address has been assigned the
terminal. If set to Auto, when the terminal starts up, it will ask the DHCP server to assign it an
IP address.
