Upnp; Static Dhcp - Vololink VoloAccess User Manual

VoloAccess™
The VoloAccess incorporates a DHCP server that assigns dynamic IP addresses to local clients (computers
connected to the VoloAccess). The IP addresses are allocated from the predefined range of addresses
defined on this page. The default address range is suitable for most local networks. The option to Edit
static DHCP assignments is the same as selecting
The DHCP server allocates the IP address for the term of the Lease Time defined on this page. The lease
is the amount of time that an IP address is valid for a specific device. If the lease expires and the device is
still connected, the lease is automatically renewed.

Static DHCP

Static DHCP configures the DHCP server on your VoloAccess to always assign the same (static) IP
address to a specific network adapter installed in a computer on the LAN. Every network card has its own
unique address - the MAC (Media Access Control) address that is used to identify it on the LAN. At boot
time the computer requests its IP address from the VoloAccess DHCP server. The DHCP server
recognises the MAC address of the computer's network card and assigns the static IP address to it.
Static DHCP is required if you want your computer to always have the same IP address. This is sometimes
required by certain programs. Static DHCP should be used in conjunction with
an external WAN TCP/UDP port to a port on a server running inside your LAN, you have to provide that
server with a static IP address - this can be achieved using Static DHCP
To assign static IP addresses to computers on your LAN select Static DHCP in the navigation panel – the
Static DHCP window appears.
