XiNCOM XC-DPG602 manual Host IP

Host IP

Host IP

This feature is used in the following situations:

When you have Multi-Session PPPoE and wish to bind each session to a particular PC on your LAN.

When you wish to use the Access Filter feature. This requires that each PC be identified by using the Host IP Setup screen.

When you wish to have different Block URL settings for different PCs. This requires that each PC be identified by using the Host IP Setup screen. (You do not have to use the Host IP feature to apply the same Block URL settings to all PCs.)

When you wish to reserve a particular (LAN) IP address for a particular PC on your LAN. This allows the PC to use DHCP (Windows calls this “Obtain an IP address automatically”) while gaining the benefits of a fixed IP address. The PC’s IP address will never change, so it can be provided to other people and applications.
