Advanced Administration

IP Address Select the appropriate option:

• Automatic - The PC is set to be a DHCP client (Windows: "Obtain

an IP address automatically"). The Wireless Router will allocate an

IP address to this PC when requested to do so. The IP address

could change, but normally won't.

• DCHP Client - Reserved IP Address - Select this if the PC is set to

be a DCHP client, and you wish to guarantee that the Wireless

Router will always allocate the same IP Address to this PC.

Enter the required IP address. Only the last field is required; the

other fields must match the Wireless Router's IP address.

• Fixed IP Address - Select this if the PC is using a Fixed (Static) IP

address. Enter the IP address allocated to the PC. (The PC must be

configured to use this IP address.)

MAC Address Select the appropriate option

• Automatic discovery - Select this to have the Wireless Router

contact the PC and find its MAC address. This is only possible if

the PC is connected to the LAN and powered On.

• MAC is - Enter the MAC address on the PC. The MAC address is

also called the "Hardware Address", "Physical Address", or "Net-

work Adapter Address". The Broadband Router uses this to

provide a unique identifier for each PC. Because of this, the MAC

address can NOT be left blank.
