Local Port
This screen contains settings for LAN interface attached to the local network. You can set to
distribute IP address to local PCs or not. If “Distribute IP address to local computer” is
selected, users can enter the IP addresses assigned for the computers on LAN. The number of
IP address decides the number of clients allowed for the assigned IP addresses. Note that the
entire PC on the same LAN should use the same subnet Mask.
Users can also set Static DHCP in this page. Users are allowed to set 32 Static DHCP. Using
this feature, the device will assign the same IP address to a computer (according to the
network adapter’s MAC address) and this computer becomes the only one able to request that
IP address. This is quite useful to set virtual servers which require particularly fixed IP for
outside Internet access.
