DNS Settings
Domain Name Servers (DNS) are used to map an IP address to the equivalent domain name such
as
http://www.tycoelectronics.com/
. Your ISP or network administrator should provide the IP
address for one or more domain name servers.
The access point can be a DNS relay to send clients request to the specified Domain Name
Server. You can also do a DNS lookup to find the IP address of some specific servers. Enter the IP
address for the DNS server and click
Apply
to complete the change.

DHCP Client List
This menu option displays a list of all the clients that have received an IP address from the access
point via the DHCP process (see DHCP on page 18 for details of the DHCP server configuration).
Figure 17 - DHCP Client List Screen
The screen shows the assigned IP addresses from the DHCP pool together with the MAC address
of the client device. In addition the expiry time of the DHCP lease is also shown as a count-down
timer. The lease duration is programmed in DHCP on page 18. When the lease timer expires, the
access point will offer a new IP address to the client if the DHCP server mode is enabled.
The screen is a static display and to see the current value of timer and IP address, select the
Refresh
button.
To clear all DHCP leases and to restart the lease duration, select the
Clear & Restart
button.
