4.1.1 Dynamic IP configuration of PCs connected to the VSAT LAN
By default the DHCP server in the SatLink VSAT is enabled. When the SatLink VSAT is powered on, all
PCs connected to the VSAT LAN can automatically retrieve their IP configuration from the DHCP
server. The user should verify that the Windows clients are configured to obtain an IP address and DNS
server address automatically. Figure 11 shows the correct Windows XP configuration when the DHCP
server is enabled in the VSAT.

From an MS-DOS window, the user may type ipconfig /all command to verify that the computer has
received correct configuration parameters from the DHCP server such as IP address, subnet mask, default
Gateway, DNS servers and lease time.
