7.3 The Static DHCP Screen
This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on
their MAC Addresses.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access
Control) address. The MAC address is
assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
7.3.1 Before You Begin
Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them to the Static DHCP
screen.
Use this screen to change your Device’s static DHCP settings. Click Network
Setting > Home
Networking > Static DHCP to open the following screen.

DNS Server 1-2 The Device supports DNS proxy by default. The Device sends out its own LAN IP
address to the DHCP clients as the first DNS server address. DHCP clients use this first
DNS server to send domain-name queries to the Device. The Device sends a response
directly if it has a record of the domain-name to IP address mapping. If it does not, the
Device queries an outside DNS server and relays the response to the DHCP client.
Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the
Device's WAN IP address).
Select DN
S Proxy to have the DHCP clients use the Device’s own LAN IP address. The
Device works as a DNS relay.
Select Us
er-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server's
