up. The default (and recommended) value is Enabled.
If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disable, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the Broadband Router as the Gateway.
The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values
used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to
DHCP clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP
clients supported.
Advanced Setup
This setup has more detail option for BRK-04FM.
PC Database
The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g.
for the “DMZ” PC).It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses.
z
PCs which are “DHCP Clients” are automatically added to the
database, and updated as required. (By default, Windows PCs
act as DHCP clients.)
z
For DHCP clients, the BRL-04FM will always allocate the same
IP address. There is no need to “reserve” an IP address for a
PC to ensure that the PC’s IP address does not change.
z
The BRL-04FM uses the “Physical Address” to identify each
PC, not the name or IP address.
z
This system means you do NOT need to use Fixed (static) IP
addresses on your LAN. However, you can add PCs using
Fixed (static) IP Addresses to the PD database if required.

Knows PC:
This lists all current entries (PCs or network
devices).
2.
Host Name:
If adding a new PC to the list, enter its name
here. It is best if this matches the PC's "hostname".
3.
IP Address:
If adding a new PC to the list, enter the IP
Address of the PC here. The PC will be sent a "ping" to
determine its hardware address. If the PC is not available
(not connected, or not powered on) you will not be able to
add it.
