Description
Known PCs and
Devices
This table lists all current entries in the Network Database. For each PC or
device, the following data is displayed.
• Check box – Use this to select a PC for editing or deletion.
• Name – The name of the PC or device. Sometimes, this cannot be determined,
and is listed as Unknown. In this case, you can edit the entry to add a
meaningful name.
• IP Address – The current IP address. For DHCP clients, where the IP address
is allocated by the DHCP Server in this device, this IP address will not change.
Where the IP address is set on the PC (as a fixed IP address), you may need
to update this entry manually if the IP address on the PC is changed.
• MAC Address – The MAC address of the PC. The MAC address is a low-level
network identifier which is fixed at manufacture.
• Group – Each PC or device must be in a single group. The Group column
indicates which group each entry is in. By default, all entries are in Group 1.
