The Timeout column is filled in for each DHCP client which is currently in the "bound" state. It indicates the lease time of the assigned IP address.

For each of these interfaces you can configure following fields:

IP Address:

The preferred IP address to be assigned to the DHCP client. If not accepted, the (remote) DHCP server may overrule this address.

Client ID:

MAC address of the SpeedTouch™ logical interface, to be communicated to the (remote) DHCP server. If empty, the SpeedTouch™ 's MAC address is used.

Host name:
