Magnia SG30 manage its own subnet of IP addresses, which
can then be visible to the external (public) network. This is
accomplished by turning NAT off.

When NAT is turned off, the Magnia SG30 becomes a router
that manages networking traffic between its public and
private interfaces. In this case, it is important that the IP
addresses assigned to the local clients be part of an assigned
subnet compatible with the network connected on the public
port. It does not matter whether the private IPs are static or
dynamic (DHCP) as long as they are part of a unique,
routable address range.

NAT can be turned off when a specific subnet has been
assigned for the SG30 as a router, such as:

The public port is connected to a business broadband
account using cable or DSL and has an assigned set of IP
addresses that constitute a subnet.

The public port is connected to a corporate network that
has allocated a set of IP addresses specifically for the
Magnia SG30 private network.

To turn off NAT, go to the administrative web site, click on
the Network tab, and select the Local menu item. Click on
the Advanced button on the local network screen. When the
advanced networking summary page is displayed, click on
