Setting 
Description 
Permanent 
The terminal uses the assigned IP address until you reboot the terminal. 
Leased 
The terminal uses the assigned IP for leased amount of time that is 
specified by the server. The terminal must renew the lease before it expires 
to maintain communication. 
 
Note: The leased DHCP server setting is not supported on the 2461. 
 
 
The DHCP server assigns the following network parameters: 
•  Terminal IP Address 
•  Subnet Mask (optional) 
•  Default Router (optional) 
The Terminal IP Address field displays 0.0.0.0 to indicate that DHCP is 
enabled, however, the terminal uses the IP address that it receives from the 
DHCP server. To see the IP address that the DHCP server assigns to the 
terminal, from the Main Menu, choose About TRAKKER 2400
The parameters assigned by the DHCP server are not permanently stored 
on the terminal. These parameters are reset each time you reboot the 
terminal. 
 
Syntax: Not 
supported.
