Pc Database Screen - Advantech UniGateway EH-2101W User Manual

PC Database Screen

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. 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 UniGateway EH-2101W 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 net-
work 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.
This will add the new PC to the list. The PC will be sent a "ping" to
