DHCP Settings on an ORBI RBR-750 to obtain IP address from a WAX206 Dual Band Access Point

I have an ORBI RBR-750 MESH Router connected to a WAX206 Dual Band Access Point. I need the ORBI to obtain its IP address from the WAX206.  What settings are needed in the ORBI?

    Intentionally planning to operate two routers (the WAX206 can be operated in router mode, and can serve as the DHCP server for your complete network) plus the Orbi RBR750 system by default also a NAT router?

    In case you intend to operate the WAX206 in router mode, the Orbi system (specifically the RBR750 router, but also the satellites) need to be operated in access point mode.
