LAN Clients
The LAN Clients menu is used when establishing Port Forwarding, Access Control and Advanced Security rules for IP
addresses on the LAN. This menu can be accessed directly by clicking on the LAN Clients button or hyperlink in the
Advanced setup menu. You can also click on the New IP button located in the Port Forwarding, Access Control and
Advanced Security menus to access this menu. In order to use these advanced features it is necessary to have IP
addresses available for configuration. If there are no IP addresses listed in the LAN Clients menu, it will not be possible
to configure Port Forwarding, Access Control and Advanced Security.
Use the LAN Clients menus to add or delete static IP addresses for the advanced functions mentioned above, or to
Reserve a Dynamically assigned IP address for an advanced function. Dynamically assigned IP addresses will only be
listed if DHCP is enabled on the Router.
LAN Clients window
To add a static IP address to the list of available IP addresses, type an IP address that falls within the range a available
IP addresses and click on the Add button. In the example above, available addresses range from 10.0.0.1 to
10.255.255.254. Any addresses added will appear in the list of Static Addresses available for advanced configuration.
These addresses can then be used in the other Port Forwarding, Access Control and Advanced Security menus.
To delete an IP address from the list of Static Addresses, click the Delete box for the address or addresses you want to
eliminate and click on the Apply button.
Dynamically assigned IP addresses may be reserved so that the LAN IP address for the device does not expire. This will
create a permanent entry for the device in the ARP table and in effect, it becomes a static IP address. Click to check the
Reserve box for the address or addresses you want to reserve and click the Apply button. These reserved addresses will
no longer be available for DHCP assignment and will be listed in the Static IP Addresses table.
