Primary WINS Server IP address
Configure the IP address of the preferred WINS server. WINS Servers store information regarding network
hosts, allowing hosts to 'register' themselves as well as discover other available hosts, e.g. for use in Network
Neighbourhood.
Secondary WINS Server IP address
Configure the IP address of the backup WINS server, if any.
NetBIOS Scope
This is an advanced setting and is normally left blank. This allows the configuration of a NetBIOS 'domain'
name under which network hosts operate.
NetBIOS Registration mode
Indicates how network hosts are to perform NetBIOS name registration and discovery.
H-Node, this indicates a Hybrid-State of operation. First WINS servers are tried, if any, followed by local
network broadcast. This is generally the preferred mode if you have configured WINS servers.
M-Node (default), this indicates a Mixed-Mode of operation. First Broadcast operation is performed to register
hosts and discover other hosts, if broadcast operation fails, WINS servers are tried, if any. This mode favours
broadcast operation which may be preferred if WINS servers are reachable by a slow network link and the
majority of network services such as servers and printers are local to the LAN.
P-Node, this indicates to use WINS servers ONLY. This setting is useful to force all NetBIOS operation to the
configured WINS servers. You must have configured at least the primary WINS server IP to point to a working
WINS server.
B-Node, this indicates to use local network broadcast ONLY. This setting is useful where there are no WINS
servers available, however, it is preferred you try M-Node operation first.
Add/Edit DHCP Reservation
This option lets you reserve IP addresses, and assign the same IP address to the network device with the
specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This is almost the same as when a device has a
static IP address except that the device must still request an IP address from the access point. The access
point will provide the device the same IP address every time. DHCP Reservations are helpful for server
computers on the local network that are hosting applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your network
should either use a static IP address or use this option.
Enable
Specifies whether the entry will be active or inactive.
Computer Name
You can assign a name for each computer that is given a reserved IP address. This may help you keep track
of which computers are assigned this way. Example:
IP Address:
The LAN address that you want to reserve.
MAC Address
To input the MAC address of your system, enter it in manually or connect to the access point's
Web-Management interface from the system and click the
A MAC address is usually located on a sticker on the bottom of a network device. The MAC address is
comprised of twelve digits. Each pair of hexadecimal digits are usually separated by dashes or colons such as
00-0D-88-11-22-33 or 00:0D:88:11:22:33. If your network device is a computer and the network card is
already located inside the computer, you can connect to the access point from the computer and click the
