PC Database

The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the

"DMZ" PC). It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses. Also, you do not

need to use fixed IP addresses on your LAN.

PC Database Screen

An example PC Database screen is shown below.

• PCs which are "DHCP Clients" are automatically added to the database,

and updated as required.

• By default, non-Server versions of Windows act as "DHCP Clients"; this

setting is called "Obtain an IP Address automatically".

• The DC-202 uses the "Hardware Address" to identify each PC, not the

name or IP address. The "Hardware Address" can only change if you

change the PC's network card or adapter.

• This system means you do NOT need to use Fixed (static) IP addresses

on your LAN. However, you can add PCs using Fixed (static) IP Ad-

dresses to the PC database if required.
