DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DWL-1750 has a built-in DHCP
server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP Address to the computers on
the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by set-
ting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your
computers ON, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the
DWL-1750. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP Address from the
IP Address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending
address of the IP Address pool.
