8.4 The Client List Screen

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.
Use this screen to change your P-79X's static DHCP settings. Click Network > LAN > Client List

DESCRIPTION
Select Obtained From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server
information (and the P-79X's WAN IP address).
Select UserDefined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the
DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose UserDefined,
but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, UserDefined changes to None after
you click Apply. If you set a second choice to UserDefined, and enter the
same IP address, the second UserDefined changes to None after you click
Apply.
Select DNS Relay to have the P-79X act as a DNS proxy only when the ISP
uses IPCP DNS server extensions. The P-79X's LAN IP address displays in the
field to the right (read-only). The P-79X tells the DHCP clients on the LAN that
the P-79X itself is the DNS server. When a computer on the LAN sends a DNS
query to the P-79X, the P-79X forwards the query to the real DNS server
learned through IPCP and relays the response back to the computer. You can
only select DNS Relay for one of the three servers; if you select DNS Relay
for a second or third DNS server, that choice changes to None after you click
Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must have
another DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the computers must have their DNS
server addresses manually configured. If you do not configure a DNS server,
you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
