Client Mode:
If you select Client, for advanced networks, the role of DHCP
Server might be performed by an IP node other than the A400A
on the local LAN. Typically such functions are attributed to Home
Gateways: computers having better networking capabilities than
the other hosts on the home LAN.
All local PCs remain configured as DHCP Clients, including the
A400A.
Note:
After you change DHCP mode from "Disable/Server" to "DHCP
Client mode" and if you would like to active this setting immediately
you must execute the functionality of "Save" and "Reboot" at first,
after this procedure you just can enter the window of Client
Configuration and execute related configuration.
