PLANET XRT-501 - Manual (Page 73)

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 XRT-501 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
required.
