PC Database
The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC).
It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses.
Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your LAN.
However, if you do use a fixed IP address on some devices on your LAN, you should
enter details of each such device into the PC database, using the PC Database screen.
PC Database Screen
An example PC Database screen is shown below.
PCs which are "DHCP Clients" are automatically added to the database, and
updated as required.
The WBR-3600 Router uses the "Hardware Address" to identify each PC, not the
name or IP address. The "Hardware Address" can only change if you change the
PC's network card or adapter.

Figure 56: PC Database
This lists all current entries. Data displayed is name (IP Address)
type. The "type" indicates whether the PC is connected to the
LAN.
If adding a new PC to the list, enter its name here. It is best if this
matches the PC's "hostname".
Enter the IP Address of the PC. The PC will be sent a "ping" to
determine its hardware address. If the PC is not available (not
connected, or not powered On) you will not be able to add it.
Update the data on screen.
