Name
If adding a new PC to the list, enter its name here. It is best if this matches the
PC's "hostname".
IP Address Select the appropriate option:
• Automatic - The PC is set to be a DHCP client (Windows: "Obtain an IP
address automatically"). The IP-2000VPN will allocate an IP address to
this PC when requested to do so. The IP address could change, but
normally won't.
• DCHP Client - Reserved IP Address - Select this if the PC is set to be a
DCHP client, and you wish to guarantee that the IP-2000VPN will always
allocate the same IP Address to this PC.
Enter the required IP address. Only the last field is required; the other
fields must match the IP-2000VPN's IP address.
• Fixed IP Address - Select this if the PC is using a Fixed (Static) IP
address. Enter the IP address allocated to the PC. (The PC must be
configured to use this IP address.)
MAC Address Select the appropriate option
• Automatic discovery - IP-2000VPN will contact the PC and find its MAC
address. This is only possible if the PC is connected to the LAN and
powered on.
• MAC address is - Enter the MAC address on the PC. The MAC address is
also called the "Hardware Address", "Physical Address", or "Network
Adapter Address". The IP-2000VPN uses this to provide a unique identifier
for each PC. Because of this, the MAC address can NOT be left blank.
