For each PC or device, the following data is displayed. • Radio button-Use this to select a PC for editing or deletion. • Name-The name of the PC or device. Sometimes, this can not be determined, and will be listed as Unknown. In this case, you can edit the entry to add a meaningful name. • IP Address-The current IP address. For DHCP clients, where the IP address is allocated by the DHCP Server in this device, this IP address will not change.

The MAC address is a low-level network identifier which is fixed at manufacture. • Group-Each PC or device must be in a single group. The Group column indicates which group each entry is in. By default, all entries are in the Default group (the D column.) • Group Assignment -You can select a group for any entry by selecting the desired group from the drop down menu in the Group column. Click Apply • Adding a new Entry-If a PC is not connected, using a fixed IP, or a different LAN segment, it may not be listed. In this case, you can add it by clicking the Add button. • Editing an Entry-You can edit an entry by selecting its radio button, and clicking the Edit button. • Deleting an Entry-If a PC or device has been removed from your network, you can delete it from the database by selecting its radio button, and clicking the Delete button. • Edit Group Names-The Group names can be edited by clicking Edit Group Names button. By default the group names are Default, Marketing, Sales, Warehouse, Support, Lab1, Lab2, and Others.
