7.1 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.
However, if you do use a fixed IP address on some devices on your LAN, you should enter details of each
such device into the PC database, using the PC Database screen.
PC Database Screen
An example PC Database screen is shown below.
Figure: PC Database
 PCs which are "DHCP Clients" are automatically added to the database, and updated as required.
 The WN-300ARM-VPN 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.
-1- Data - PC Database Screen
Known PCs This lists all current entries. Data displayed is name (IP Address) type. The
"type" indicates whether the PC is connected to the LAN.
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 Enter the IP Address of the PC. The PC will be sent a "ping" to determine its
hardware address. If the PC is not available (not connected, or not powered
On) you will not be able to add it.
