Local Port
This screen contains settings for LAN interface attached to the local network. You can
set to distribute IP address to local PCs or not.
If “Distribute IP address to local computer” is selected, users can assign IP addresses
for computers on LAN. The number of IP address decides the number of clients allowed
to obtain IP addresses. Note that all the PC on the same LAN should use the same
subnet Mask.
Users can also set Static DHCP in this page. Users are allowed to set 32 Static DHCP.
Using this feature, the device will assign the same IP address to a computer (according to
the network adapter’s MAC address) and this computer becomes the only one able to
request that IP address. This is quite useful to set virtual serveres which requires
particulary fixed IP for outside Internet access.
