• The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as
allocating an IP Address.
• The IAD-200 / IAD-200W can act as a DHCP server.
• Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP client.
This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However, Windows
uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatically instead of "DHCP Client".
• You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your
LAN does not have other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on
your LAN.)
Using the IAD-200 / IAD-200W's DHCP Server
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen,
you can:
• Enable or Disable the IAD-200 / IAD-200W's DHCP Server function.
• Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices while using
DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses are NOT within
the range used by the DHCP Server.
Using another DHCP Server
You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP
Server, rather than the IAD-200 / IAD-200W's, the following procedure is required.
• Disable the DHCP Server feature in the IAD-200 / IAD-200W. This setting is on the LAN
screen.
• Configure the DHCP Server to provide the IAD-200 / IAD-200W's IP Address as the
Default Gateway.
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP for all non-Server versions of Windows.
See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for the procedure to check these settings.
