DHCP

If set to Enable, your AMG1312-T Series can assign IP addresses, an IP default

 

 

gateway and DNS servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that

 

 

support the DHCP client.

 

 

If set to Disable, the DHCP server will be disabled.

 

 

If set to DHCP Relay, the AMG1312-T Series acts as a surrogate DHCP server and

 

 

relays DHCP requests and responses between the remote server and the clients. Enter

 

 

the IP address of the actual, remote DHCP server in the Remote DHCP Server field

8.3 The Static DHCP Screen

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.

Use this screen to change your AMG1312-T Series’s static DHCP settings. Click Network Setting > Home Networking > Static DHCP to open the following screen.
