Network Management
Use the Network menu to make network configuration settings as well as service
support settings.
WAN Configuration
From the Network menu,
choose WAN, and the WAN
Configuration screen
appears. This screen displays
the network parameters of
the WAN connection. You may
change any of these items
and press Apply to confirm
your settings. You can see a
description of each item in the
following table:
WAN Configuration
Item Description
Host name Host name that identifies the N1200 on the network.
Domain name Specifies the domain name of the N1200.
MAC Address MAC address of the network interface.
Jumbo Frame Support Enable or disable Jumbo Frame Support of the WAN interface on
your N1200.
WAN Port The WAN IP can be set to a Static IP address or Dynamic IP
address.
Static: Administrator has to enter IP, Netmask, Gateway, DNS
Server fields.
Dynamic: If there is already a DHCP server on your network,
you can let the DHCP server assign an IP address to your
N1200.
IP IP address of the WAN interface.
Netmask
Network mask, which is generally: 255.255.255.0
Gateway Default Gateway IP address.
DNS Server Domain Name Service (DNS) server IP address.
IP Sharing Mode When enabled, traffic on the LAN will be directed to the WAN.
Default is Enabled.
NOTE
• Only use Jumbo Frame settings when operating in a Gigabit environment where
all other clients have Jumbo Frame Setting enabled.
• Enabling DHCP automatically turns on UPnP — See the Service Support Screen.
• If you are only using the WAN port, we suggest that you disable IP Sharing
Mode. This will result in higher throughput.
• A correct DNS setting is vital to networks services, such as SMTP and NTP.
WARNING
Most Fast Ethernet (10/100) Switches/Routers do not support Jumbo Frame and
you will not be able to connect to your N1200 after Jumbo Frame is turned on. If
this happens, turn off the N1200. Then, power on the N1200 and immediately press
and hold the Reset button on the back of the unit for 10 seconds. This will reset
your network settings, password, and turn off Jumbo Frame Support.
