IP Address Source
This feature allows the user to determine how an IP address is assigned to this
device. Select DHCP (Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol) to allow this device
to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, which manages a pool of IP ad-
dresses and network information on a "request and grant" basis. Upon timeout
(or lease expiration), the IP address assigned to the client can be re-assigned
to a new client. Select Static (Static Allocation) to manually enter an IP address
from a specifi c range of addresses (usually assigned by a network administra-
tor). A client with an IP Address that falls into this specifi c range of addresses
will be allowed to access the network. A static IP Address assigned to a device
is retained until a different address is manually reassigned to it. The options are
DHCP and Static.
