PC Database

TW100-BRF114 User’s Guide

PC Database

The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC). It elimi- nates the need to enter IP addresses. Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your LAN.

PC Database Screen

An example PC Database screen is shown below.

Figure 39: PC Database

•PCs which are "DHCP Clients" are automatically added to the database, and updated as required.

•By default, non-Server versions of Windows act as "DHCP Clients"; this setting is called "Obtain an IP Address automatically".

•The TW100-BRF114 uses the "Hardware Address" to identify each PC, not the name or IP address. The "Hardware Address" can only change if you change the PC's network card or adapter.

•This system means you do NOT need to use Fixed (static) IP addresses on your LAN. However, you can add PCs using Fixed (static) IP Addresses to the PC database if re- quired.

Data - PC Database Screen

Known PCs	This lists all current entries. Data displayed is name (IP Address) type.
	The "type" indicates whether the PC is connected to the LAN.

Name	If adding a new PC to the list, enter its name here. It is best if this
	matches the PC's "hostname".

IP Address	Enter the IP Address of the PC. The PC will be sent a "ping" to deter-
	mine its hardware address. If the PC is not available (not connected, or
	not powered On) you will not be able to add it.
