Networking - DHCP Server
The Domain Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server automatically
assigns IP addresses to all the clients on your network, relieving you
of the responsibility for issuing separate IP addresses. It is highly
recommended that you administer your network using the DHCP
function. The PCs must be configured to “Obtain an IP Address
Automatically.” See the Installation section of this User Guide for
further details.
To access the screen, click Networking > DHCP Server. Click
Apply to save your settings or Cancel to cancel changes.
Field Description

This field cannot be edited.
LAN Private IP Enables you to create your own private IP
network.
Enter an IP address string that you will use for
your network. Because it is a private network,
your router gives you the ability to choose any
string you prefer.
The default is 192.168.10.1
