“DHCP Function” item, then press Enter key to show the DHCP

3.7.6.2 Local IP address
If you intend to set up your client computers manually (no
DHCP), make sure that the assigned IP address is in the same
range as the default router address and that it is unique to your
private network. However, it is highly recommend to use DHCP
if that option is available on your network. An IP address alloca-
tion scheme will reduce the time it takes to set-up client com-
puters and eliminate the possibilities of administrative errors
and duplicate addresses. To manually congure the local IP ad-
dress of the controller, move the cursor bar to “Local IP address”
item, then press the Enter key to show the default address set-
ting in the SATA RAID controller. You can then reassign the static
IP address of the controller.
