•Receive IP Address Via DHCP Server: Default = Yes.
This setting controls whether the system acts as a DHCP client or uses a fixed IP address.
•If enabled, the system acts as a DHCP client and requests IP address details for its LAN port when the system is started.
•If it receives a response, the address details it has been given by the DHCP server are shown in the field below but cannot be adjusted.
•If it does not receive a response, it default to using the address 192.168.42.1. It is still a DHCP client and will request an address again when it is next restarted.
•If not enabled, the system uses the IP address values set in the fields below.
