6.5 LAN Client List
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.
To change your P-660HWP-D1’s static DHCP settings, click
Network > LAN > Client List .
The screen appears as shown.
Table 28 DHCP Setup
LABEL DESCRIPTION
DHCP Setup
DHCP If set to Server , your P-660HWP-D1 can assign IP addresses, an IP
default gateway and DNS servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and
other systems that support the DHCP client.
If set to
None , the DHCP server will be disabled.
If set to Relay , the P-660HWP-D1 acts as a surrogate DHCP server
and relays DHCP requests and responses between the remote server
and the clients. Enter the IP address of the actual, remote DHCP
server in the Remote DHCP Server field in this case.
When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set:
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.
Remote DHCP Server If Relay is selected in the DHCP field above then enter the IP address
of the actual remote DHCP server here.
DNS Server
DNS Servers Assigned
by DHCP Server The P-660HWP-D1 passes a DNS (Domain Name System) server IP
address to the DHCP clients.
Primary DNS Server
Secondary DNS Server These fields are not available when you set DHCP to Relay .
Enter the IP address(es) of the DNS server(s). The DNS server(s) are
passed to the DHCP clients along with their IP address(es) and subnet
mask(s).
If both fields are left as
0.0.0.0 , the P-660HWP-D1 acts as a DNS
proxy and forwards the DHCP client’s DNS query to the DNS server
learned through IPCP and relays the response back to the computer.
