Appendix: PC DHCP Settings
The Bizfon LAN port has a DHCP server that provides DHCP IP addresses to devices con-
nected to the LAN either directly or through an Ethernet hub or switch. This appendix de-
scribes how to configure Windows PCs for DHCP. The PC used to access the Bizfon must
meet the following conditions:
• TCP/IP network protocol has to be installed.
.
• DHCP has to be activated in order to request the IP address automatically
Please Note: If your PC is already configured for DHCP and connected directly to the
Bizfon, then simply power it on and verify the LAN LED is lit. If LED is off, check the cable
connections.
Follow the instructions below to install TCP/IP and enable DHCP functionality:

cal Area Connection with the right mouse
