Configuring Network Settings
Warning: These are advanced settings. Do not change them unless it is
necessary and you are qualified to do so.
Note: If you change the network settings to incorrect values and are
unable to correct the error, you can reset the Safe@Office appliance to
its default settings. See Resetting the Safe@Office appliance to
Defaults on page 222.
Enabling/Disabling the DHCP Server
By default, the Safe@Office appliance operates as a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server. This allows the Safe@Office appliance to
automatically configure all the devices on your network with their network
configuration details. If you have another DHCP server configured in your
network, you must disable the Safe@Office DHCP server. Otherwise, it is
highly recommended to leave this setting enabled.
