The DHCP button (Figure 34) turns on dynamic IP address assignment. When DHCP is on, the CAT-100 will request an IP address from the network server. This IP address may change over time.

If dynamic IP addressing is turned ON, a message will appear to the right of the “Address” text. The message will read “DHCP ,” followed by an IP address.

To turn dynamic IP addressing OFF, enter a static IP address. The CAT-100 will switch to manual Ethernet settings.
