The Static DHCP Screen
This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on
their MAC Addresses.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is
assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
DHCP
If set to
Enable
, your Device can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS
servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that support the DHCP client.
If set to
Disable
, the DHCP server will be disabled.
If set to
DHCP Relay
, the Device acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays DHCP
requests and responses between the remote server and the clients. Enter the IP
address of the actual, remote DHCP server in the
Remote DHCP Server
field in this
case.
When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set:
IP Addressing Values
IP Pool Starting
Address
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
Pool Size
This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool.
DHCP Server Lease Time
Lease Time
This field specifies the lease time in seconds of an IP address assigned by the DHCP
server.
DNS Values
DNS Server 1
DNS Server 2
Select
Obtained From ISP
if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information
(and the Device's WAN IP address).
Select
UserDefined
if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS
server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose
UserDefined
, but leave the
IP address set to 0.0.0.0,
UserDefined
changes to
None
after you click
Apply
. If you
set a second choice to
UserDefined
, and enter the same IP address, the second
UserDefined
changes to
None
after you click
Apply
.
Select
DNS Relay
to have the Device act as a DNS proxy only when the ISP uses IPCP
DNS server extensions. The Device's LAN IP address displays in the field to the right
(read-only). The Device tells the DHCP clients on the LAN that the Device itself is the
DNS server. When a computer on the LAN sends a DNS query to the Device, the
Device forwards the query to the real DNS server learned through IPCP and relays the
response back to the computer. You can only select
DNS Relay
for one of the three
servers; if you select
DNS Relay
for a second server, that choice changes to
None
after you click
Apply
.
Select
None
if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must have another
DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the computers must have their DNS server addresses
manually configured. If you do not configure a DNS server, you must know the IP
address of a computer in order to access it.

#
This is the index number of the entry.
Active
This field displays whether the client is connected to the Device.
MAC Address
The MAC (Media Access Control) or Ethernet address on a LAN (Local Area Network) is
unique to your computer (six pairs of hexadecimal notation).
A network interface card such as an Ethernet adapter has a hardwired address that is
assigned at the factory. This address follows an industry standard that ensures no other
adapter has a similar address.
IP Address
This field displays the IP address relative to the # field listed above.
Modify
Click the
Edit

Click the

The IP Alias Screen
IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into different logical networks over the same
Ethernet interface. The Device supports multiple logical LAN interfaces via its physical Ethernet
interface with the Device itself as the gateway for the LAN network.
When you use IP alias, you can also configure firewall rules to control access to the LAN's logical
network (subnet).

The UPnP Screen
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for
simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can dynamically join a
network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network.
In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.
See
page 78
for more information on UPnP.
Use the following screen to enable or disable the UPnP function on your Device. Click
Network
Setting > Home Networking
> UPnP
to display the screen shown next.

IP Address
Enter the IP address of your Device in dotted decimal notation.
IP Subnet Mask
Your Device will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that
you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by
the Device.
