PC Database
The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC). It elimi-
nates the need to enter IP addresses. Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your
LAN.
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.
•
By default, non-Server versions of Windows act as "DHCP Clients"; this setting is called
"Obtain an IP Address automatically".
•
The LevelOne 54Mbps Wireless AP 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.
•
This system means you do NOT need to use Fixed (static) IP addresses on your LAN.
However, you can add PCs using Fixed (static) IP Addresses to the PC database if re-
quired.

This lists all current entries. Data displayed is name (IP Address) type.
The "type" indicates whether the PC is connected to the LAN or
WLAN (Wireless 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 deter-
mine its hardware address. If the PC is not available (not connected, or
not powered On) you will not be able to add it.
