CHAPTER 8
Home Networking
8.1 Overview
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many networking devices
are connected. It is usually located in one immediate area such as a building or floor of a building.
Use the LAN screens to help you configure a LAN DHCP server and manage IP addresses.

•Use the LAN Setup screen to set the LAN IP address, subnet mask, and DHCP settings of your
Device (Section 8.2 on page 143).
•Use the Static DHCP screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers
based on their MAC Addresses (Section 8.3 on page 146).
•Use the UPnP screen to enable UPnP and UPnP NAT traversal on the Device (Section 8.4 on page
148).
•Use the Additional Subnet screen to configure IP alias and public static IP (Section 8.5 on page

•Use the STB Vendor ID screen to have the Device automatically create static DHCP entries for
Set Top Box (STB) devices when they request IP addresses (Section 8.8 on page 158)
