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.
Use this screen to change your Device’s static DHCP settings. Click
Network Setting > Home
Networking
> Static DHCP
to open the following screen.
Figure 53

The following table describes the labels in this screen.
If you click
Add new static lease
in the
Static DHCP
screen or the Edit icon next to a static DHCP
entry, the following screen displays.

LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Add new static
lease
Click this to add a new static DHCP entry.
#
This is the index number of the entry.
Status
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
icon to have the IP address field editable and change it.
Click the
Delete
icon to delete a static DHCP entry. A window displays asking you to
confirm that you want to delete the selected entry.

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 126
for more information on UPnP.

DESCRIPTION
Active
Select this to activate the connection between the client and the Device.
Group Name
Select the interface group name for which you want to configure static DHCP settings.
See
Chapter 15 on page 191
for how to create a new interface group.
Select Device Info
Select a device or computer from the drop-down list or select
Manual Input
to manually
enter a device’s MAC address and IP address in the following fields.
MAC Address
If you select
Manual Input

Turning On UPnP in Windows 7 Example
This section shows you how to use the UPnP feature in Windows 7. UPnP server is installed in
Windows 7.
Activate UPnP on the Device.
Make sure the computer is connected to a LAN port of the Device. Turn on your computer and the
Device.

UPnP
Select
Enable
to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a UPnP application to open
the web configurator's login screen without entering the Device's IP address (although you
must still enter the password to access the web configurator).
UPnP NAT-T
Select
Enable
to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the Device so
that they can communicate through the Device by using NAT traversal. UPnP applications
automatically reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to communicate with another UPnP
enabled device; this eliminates the need to manually configure port forwarding for the UPnP
enabled application.
The table below displays the NAT port forwarding rules added automatically by UPnP NAT-T.
#
This is the index number of the UPnP NAT-T connection.
Description
This is the description of the UPnP NAT-T connection.
IP Address
This is the IP address of the other connected UPnP enabled device.
External Port
This is the external port number that identifies the service.
Internal Port
This is the internal port number that identifies the service.

The Additional Subnet Screen
Use the
Additional Subnet
screen to configure IP alias and public static IP.
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).
If your ISP provides the Public LAN service, the Device may use an LAN IP address that can be
accessed from the WAN.
Click
Network Setting > Home Networking
> Additional Subnet
to display the screen shown
next.

IP Alias Setup
Group Name
Select the interface group name for which you want to configure the IP alias settings. See
Chapter 15 on page 191
for how to create a new interface group.
Active
Select the checkbox to configure a LAN network for the Device.
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.
Public LAN
Active
Select the checkbox to enable the Public LAN feature. Your ISP must support Public LAN and
Static IP.
IP Address
Enter the public IP address provided by your ISP.
