This parameter determines if the SpaceLink Home Gateway will send out
a DHCP request during bootup. If you have a DHCP server on the network,
set this option so that the SpaceLink Home Gateway can receive an
automatic IP address assignment.
If you have a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on the
network, then the DHCP server will automatically assign the SpaceLink Home
Gateway an IP address when the SpaceLink Home Gateway is powered up. To
determine what IP address has been assigned to the SpaceLink Home Gateway,
review the IP address on the “Status” page available on the “Main Menu”.
