3.10 DHCP Setup
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the Prestige as a DHCP server or disable
it. When configured as a server, the Prestige provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If you turn
DHCP service off, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be
manually configured.
