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. Also, you do not need to use fixed IP
addresses on your LAN.
PC Database Screen
An example PC Database screen is shown below.
PCs which are "DHCP Clients" are automatically added to the database, and
updated as required.
By default, non-Server versions of Windows act as "DHCP Clients"; this setting is
called "Obtain an IP Address automatically".
VRT-401 uses the "Hardware Address" to identify each PC, not the name or IP
address. The "Hardware Address" can only change if you change the PC's network
card or adapter.
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 PC da-
tabase if required.
