4.1.6 Client List

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows
individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can
configure the Device as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server,
the Device provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is
disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer
must be manually configured.
Click Status > Client List to open the following screen. The read-only DHCP table
shows current DHCP client information (including IP Address, Host Name and
MAC Address) of all network clients using the Device's DHCP server.
