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.

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.

DHCP

Select Enable to have your Device assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway 
and DNS servers to LAN computers and other devices that are DHCP clients.

If you select Disable, 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 Addressing Values

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 Values

DNS Server 1-3

Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and 
the 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.

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes.

Cancel

Click Cancel to restore your previously saved settings.
