Other Features and Settings
PC Database
The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC). It elimi-
nates 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.
Figure 92: PC Database
• 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 LevelOne Broadband VPN Gateway 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 Addresses to the PC database if re-
quired.
