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.
7.3.1
Before You Begin
Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them to
the
Static DHCP
screen.
DHCP
Select
Enable
to have your ZyXEL Device assign IP addresses, an IP
default gateway and DNS servers to LAN computers and other devices
that are DHCP clients.
If you select
Disable
, you need to manually configure the IP
addresses of the computers and other devices on your LAN.
When DHCP is used, the following fields 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.
DNS Values
DNS Server 1-3
Select
From ISP
if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server
information (and the ZyXEL Device's WAN IP address).
Select
User-Defined
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
User-Defined
, but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0,
User-Defined
changes to
None
after you click
Apply
. If you set a second choice to
User-Defined
, and enter the same IP address, the second
User-
Defined
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.
Apply
Click
Apply
to save your changes.
Cancel
Click
Cancel
to restore your previously saved settings.

#
This is the index number of the entry.
Status
This field displays whether the client is connected to the ZyXEL Device.
Host Name
This field displays the client host name.
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.
Reserve
Select the check box in the heading row to automatically select all
check boxes or select the check box(es) in each entry to have the
ZyXEL Device always assign the selected entry(ies)’s IP address(es) to
the corresponding MAC address(es) (and host name(s)). You can select
up to 128 entries in this table.

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 158
for more information on UPnP.
Use the following screen to configure the UPnP settings on your ZyXEL Device.
Click
Network Setting > Home Networking
> UPnP
to display the screen
shown next.

The File Sharing Screen
You can share files on a USB memory stick or hard drive connected to your ZyXEL
Device with users on your network.
The following figure is an overview of the ZyXEL Device’s file server feature.
Computers
A
and
B
can access files on a USB device (
C
) which is connected to the
ZyXEL Device.
Figure 43
File Sharing Overview
The ZyXEL Device will not be able to join the workgroup if your local area network
has restrictions set up that do not allow devices to join a workgroup. In this case,
contact your network administrator.
7.5.1
Before You Begin
Make sure the ZyXEL Device is connected to your network and turned on.
1
Connect the USB device to the ZyXEL Device’s USB port. Make sure the ZyXEL
Device is connected to your network.
2
The ZyXEL Device detects the USB device and makes its contents available for
browsing. If you are connecting a USB hard drive that comes with an external
power supply, make sure it is connected to an appropriate power source that is on.
Note: If your USB device cannot be detected by the ZyXEL Device, see
troubleshooting for suggestions.
