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 EMG’s static DHCP settings. Click

and sends clients the first DNS information it receives.
•
IPv6 DNS Server Only
: The EMG forwards the requests to the IPv6 DNS server and sends clients
the DNS information it receives.
•
IPv4 DNS Server Only
: The EMG forwards the requests to the IPv4 DNS server and sends clients
the DNS information it receives.
•

Static DHCP
Configuration
Click this to add a new static DHCP entry.
#
This is the index number of the entry.
Status
This field displays whether the client is connected to the EMG.
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.
IP Address
This field displays the IP address relative to the # field listed above.
Modify
Click the
Edit
icon to have the IP address field editable and change it.
Click the
Delete
icon to delete a static DHCP entry. A window displays asking you to confirm
that you want to delete the selected entry.
