That looks like incomplete instructions for that software.
Why don't you post on their forum? Oh wait, there's been 1 post year to date.
And that software has apparently not been updated in over 5 years. Are you sure you want to use that?

Apparently, you can add tftp to OPN to get a PXE server: https://gist.github.com/azhang/d8304d8dd4b4c165b67ab57ae7e1ede0 (https://gist.github.com/azhang/d8304d8dd4b4c165b67ab57ae7e1ede0)

Or maybe use the info in that page to infer how you need to input data in DHCP options.
The layout on the tftp server has to be standard...
