Select the appropriate option:
Automatic - The PC is set to be a DHCP client (Windows:
"Obtain an IP address automatically"). The Broadband
Router will allocate an IP address to this PC when requested
to do so. The IP address could change, but normally won't.
DCHP Client - Reserved IP Address - Select this if the PC
is set to be a DCHP client, and you wish to guarantee that
the Broadband Router will always allocate the same IP Ad-
dress to this PC.
Enter the required IP address. Only the last field is required;
the other fields must match the Broadband Router's IP ad-
dress.
Fixed IP Address - Select this if the PC is using a Fixed
(Static) IP address. Enter the IP address allocated to the PC.
(The PC must be configured to use this IP address.)
Select the appropriate option
Automatic discovery - Select this to have the Broadband
Router contact the PC and find its MAC address. This is only
possible if the PC is connected to the LAN and powered On.
MAC is - Enter the MAC address on the PC. The MAC
address is also called the "Hardware Address", "Physical
Address", or "Network Adapter Address". The Broadband
Router uses this to provide a unique identifier for each PC.
Because of this, the MAC address can NOT be left blank.
Add a new PC to the list, using the data in the "Properties" box.
If "Automatic discovery" (for MAC address) is selected, the PC
will be sent a "ping" to determine its hardware address. This will
fail unless the PC is connected to the LAN, and powered on.
Update (modify) the selected PC, using the data in the "Proper-
ties" box.
Clear the "Properties" box, ready for entering data for a new PC.
Update the data on screen.
Display a read-only list showing full details of all entries in the PC
database.
