Retrieving an IP Address From a DHCP Server
When using the DHCP protocol to retrieve an IP address, the device acts as a DHCP client. When the
device is reset, the DHCP command is saved in the configuration file, but not the IP address. To
configure the device so it will retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server, use the web interface (see
"Defining DHCP Server Settings" on page 83).
NOTE: It is not necessary to delete the device configuration to retrieve an IP address from the DHCP server.
