Do not include the gateway address of the

Modem gateway address (10.1.1.1 by default) in 
the DHCP pool, an error dialog box will appear.

three octets match the gateway’s IP address, i.e., 
10.1.1.xxx.

DHCP Client List
The DHCP Clients List 
displays the IP Address, 
Host Name and MAC 
Address of each client 
that has requested an IP 
address since the last 
reboot of the Modem. 
Check the FIX box to have 
the IP address and the 
MAC address linked so 
that the IP address will 
always be assigned as it is 
on this screen.
NAT 
From this section you can configure the Virtual Server, and Special 
Application features that provide control over the TCP/ UDP port 
openings in the Modem’s firewall. This section can be used to support 
several Internet based applications such as web, email, FTP, and 
Telnet.
NAT Settings 
NAT allows one or more 
public IP addresses to be 
shared by multiple internal 
users. You can enable 
or disable NAT here. 
Recommended setting = 
Enable.
