Chapter 7 LAN Setup

7.4 The Client List 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 ZyXEL Device’s static DHCP settings. Click Network > LAN > Client List to open the following screen.

MAC Address

The MAC (Media Access Control) or Ethernet address on a LAN (Local

 

Area Network) is unique to your computer (six pairs of hexadecimal

 

notation).

 

A network interface card such as an Ethernet adapter has a hardwired

 

address that is assigned at the factory. This address follows an industry

 

standard that ensures no other adapter has a similar address.
