N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit VDSL2 Modem Router DGND3800B
NAT (Network Address Translation)
. NAT automatically assigns private IP addresses
(10.1.1.x) to LAN-connected devices.
•
Enable
. Usually NAT is enabled.
•
Disable
. This disables NAT, but leaves the firewall active. Disable NAT only if you are
sure you do not need it. When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is performed by this
modem. Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses that the modem
router uses. Classical routing should be selected only by experienced users.

•
Disable firewall
. This disables the firewall in addition to disabling NAT. With the firewall
disabled, the protections usually provided to your network are disabled.
When no login is required, this field displays:
Router MAC Address
. The Ethernet MAC address used by the modem router on the
Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your
computer when your account is first opened. They then accept traffic only from the MAC
address of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to use your computer’s
MAC address (this is also called cloning).
•
Use Default Address
. Use the default MAC address.
•
Use Computer MAC Address
. The modem router captures and use the MAC address of
the computer that you are now using. You have to be using the one computer that is
allowed by the ISP.
•
Use This MAC Address
. Enter the MAC address that you want to use..
ADSL Settings
The ADSL settings of your modem router work fine for most ISPs. However, some ISPs use a
specific multiplexing method and virtual circuit number for the virtual path identifier (VPI) and
virtual channel identifier (VCI).
Note:
You need to use the Setup Wizard to select the correct country for
the default ADSL settings to work.
1. Disabling NAT reboots the modem router and resets its configuration settings to the factory defaults. Disable NAT
only if you plan to set up the modem router in a setting where you will be manually administering the IP address space
on the LAN side of the modem.
