Managing the network settings
The Network menu provides advanced configuration options to control the Layer 3 network
parameters of your cabled and Wi-Fi network. This menu allows to configure the IP settings of
all available interfaces, port forwarding rules, as well as the DMZ settings in your home network.
Managing the IP settings
The IP submenu contains configurable IP options of all available interfaces, both dynamic and
static. These options are grouped into Configuration areas, each of which refers to a particular
interface. The DHCP area is also available, which allows to display dynamic DHCP leases and
configure static ones. This area is available for all interfaces.
In order to manage the IP settings through this menu, use the following steps:
1.
Click Network > IP to open the IP tab.

2.
Go to the area that contains the desired interface configuration. If only one interface is
available to be configured, then the area name is Configuration. Otherwise, more than one
area is displayed and the relevant interface name is shown in parentheses following the
Configuration title.
3.
Use the following fields to configure the IP settings for your network:
• IP type: specifies IP address resolution type. The two options are: DHCP server and
Static. The DHCP server option assigns the addresses automatically, while also allowing
static entries to be added manually. The Static option requires the addresses to be
manually assigned to connected devices.
• IP address: specifies the IP address of your network.
