The Cortexa can be congured as a DHCP Server from the DHCP Screen. The Dynamic

Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) – A protocol that lets network administrators centrally

manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization’s

network using the Internet’s set of protocol (TCP/IP). Each machine that connects to the

Internet needs a unique IP address.

When an organization sets up its computer users with a connection, the IP address must be

entered manually at each computer and, if computers move to another location in another

part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator

supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP

address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network.
