DSL-2640T ADSL 2+ Router User Guide

Static IP on LAN
If the Router has the DHCP server enabled it is possible to permanently assign IP addresses to workstations specified by
their MAC address. Up to five IP addresses may be assigned to five different devices. This will take the chosen IP
address used out of the available addresses in the dynamic IP address pool and give a permanent lease time for the IP
address to the selected device.
To assign an IP address that will not age out, type in the MAC Address of the device and its static IP Address in the
spaces provided. Use the format: 00-00-00-00-00-00 for the MAC address and the standard format: 192.168.0.xxx for
the IP address. A Static DHCP Client List will appear below the DHCP Client list with any clients that have been
configured for static IP address assignment.
Note
To manually configure IP settings
on Windows workstations, open
the TCP/IP Properties menu and
select the “Use the following IP
address” option. You will need to
supply the IP addres, Subnet
mask and Defualt gateway (use
IP address of DSL-2640T) for
each workstation. The example
here also uses manually
configured DNS settings.
