2. The left side of the DHCP Manager window will show a list of
DHCP hosts currently hooked up to the network.
Note that before you can make changes to the host’s parameters,
there must be a minus sign (-) located to the left of the server name
(Local Machine in the example shown below.) If, as shown be-
low, there is a plus sign (+) to the left of the server name, use the
left mouse button to click on the name until you see the minus sign
appear.
3. You must now define the DHCP server “scope”.
A “scope” is simply a range of IP addresses that the server assigns
to machines as they log onto the network. Since the assignment is
dynamic, the IP address assigned to a particular device can change
each time the device logs in. What we will do is use DHCP Man-
ager to set aside a specific IP address that will always be assigned
to your NPort Express when it is hooked up to the network. When
the device is not hooked up, the reserved IP address is not used.
If you have already defined a scope, continue with step 6 below.
4. To get started, click on DHCP Options and then chose Scope
from the pull down menu.
