DHCP Clients List Figure 25 DHCP Clients List Screen
The DHCP Clients List provides details on the devices that are connected
to the LAN. The list is only created when the Access Point is set up as a
DHCP server. For each device that is connected to the LAN the following
information is displayed:
■ IP address — The Internet Protocol (IP) address issued to the client
machine.
■ Host Name — The client machine’s host name, if configured.
■ MAC Address — The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the
client’s network card.
■ Client Type — Whether the client is connected to the access point by
wired or wireless connection.
■ Fix — This box is checked if the IP address is fixed to the MAC address
of the client’s network card. Clients that have fixed addresses will get
the same IP address each time they connect.
As you connect more devices, the client list will grow to a maximum
number of 253 clients.
The Release button allows the lease time for the IP address that has been
issued to a device to be cleared. The lease time is set at 12 hours. If a PC
has been switched off, using the Release button would allow the 12 hour
lease time to be cleared. The IP address would then be available for
another device if there were no other IP addresses available.
