DNS Settings

Domain Name Servers (DNS) are used to map an IP address to the equivalent domain name such as http://www.tycoelectronics.com/. Your ISP or network administrator should provide the IP address for one or more domain name servers.

The access point can be a DNS relay to send clients request to the specified Domain Name Server. You can also do a DNS lookup to find the IP address of some specific servers. Enter the IP address for the DNS server and click Apply to complete the change.

DHCP Client List

This menu option displays a list of all the clients that have received an IP address from the access point via the DHCP process (see DHCP on page 19 for details of the DHCP server configuration).

Figure 17 - DHCP Client List Screen

The screen shows the assigned IP addresses from the DHCP pool together with the MAC address of the client device. In addition the expiry time of the DHCP lease is also shown as a count-down timer. The lease duration is programmed in DHCP on page 19. When the lease timer expires, the access point will offer a new IP address to the client if the DHCP server mode is enabled.

The screen is a static display and to see the current value of timer and IP address, select the Refresh button.

To clear all DHCP leases and to restart the lease duration, select the Clear & Restart button.
