6.4  The Client List Screen
Use this table 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.
Table 22   Network > LAN > DHCP Server
LABEL
DESCRIPTION
DHCP Setup
Active DHCP 
Server
Select this to have your ZyXEL Device assign IP addresses, an IP default 
gateway and DNS servers to LAN computers and other devices that are 
DHCP clients.
If you do not check this, the DHCP server will be disabled. You need to 
manually configure the IP addresses of the computers and other devices 
on your LAN.
When DHCP is used, the following fields need to be set.
IP Pool Starting 
Address
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address 
pool.
Pool Size
This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool.
DNS Server
First DNS 
Server
Second DNS 
Server
Third DNS 
Server
Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information 
(and the ZyXEL Device's WAN IP address).
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter 
the DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose User-
Defined
, but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined 
changes to None after you click Apply. If you set a second choice to 
User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second User-
Defined
 changes to None after you click Apply
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must 
have another DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the computers must have 
their DNS server addresses manually configured. If you do not configure 
a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to 
access it.
