Chapter 5 Using Network Connections
To select a connection, click on its name. The rest of this chapter describes the dif-
ferent network connections available on the Router, as well as the connection types
that can be created.
Network (Home/Office)
Select Network (Home/Office) in the Network Connections screen to generate
the “Network (Home/Office) Properties” screen. This screen displays a list of the
local network’s properties. The only modifications that can be made from this
screen are disabling the connection (by clicking Disable) or renaming the connec-
tion (by entering a new name in the “Rule Name” text box).
☞
Note: When a network is disabled, its formerly underlying
devices will not be able to get the DHCP address from the net-
work interface to which they were connected.
The Network (Home/Office) connection is used to combine several network
devices under one virtual network. For example, a home/office network can be
created for Ethernet and other network devices.
