DHCP
To change the Media Link’s DHCP setting, select DHCP. If the Media Link will be assigned an IP address

one of the DNS Server settings.
Your selection will be denoted by a bracketed asterisk, [*]. Press the right arrow button to save your new setting.
Press the left arrow button to cancel your change.
