Enabling the DHCP Client and Choosing the Appropriate Interface

To enable the DHCP client and choose the appropriate interface, do the following:

1. From the Setup menu, choose IP Setup. The IP Setup dialog box appears.

2. Select the Obtain an IP address from DHCP Server option.

3. Next, select the interface for Ethernet or wireless network from the Using Interface drop-down list.

Make sure that you select the interface that the DHCP server is located on.

Note: The information for Default TTL should already be entered. The IP host on the Internet

sends out each packet with a default “Time to Live” parameter. If you want to override the factory

default of 64 attempts, you can specify your new default here. This parameter should not be

changed unless you are very familiar with IP functionality and how the Time to Live parameter

will affect the method packets the treated by your network, as well as the network to which you

are bridged (or routed).
