7.3 The Static DHCP 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.

7.3.1 Before You Begin

Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them to the Static DHCP
screen.
Use this screen to change your Device's static DHCP settings. Click Network Setting > Home
Networking > Static DHCP to open the following screen.

DESCRIPTION
Select Enable to have your Device assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway
and DNS servers to LAN computers and other devices that are DHCP clients.
If you select Disable, you need to manually configure the IP addresses of the
computers and other devices on your LAN.
When DHCP is used, the following fields need to be set.
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool.
Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and
the Device's WAN IP address).
Select User-Defined 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 User-Defined, but
leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined changes to None after you
click Apply. If you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same
IP address, the second User-Defined 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.
Click Apply to save your changes.
Click Cancel to restore your previously saved settings.
