NETWORK SETTINGS
• IP address and Subnet Mask: the network connection uses a
permanent or static IP address and Subnet Mask address, provided
by Verizon or experienced network technician.
• Bridge
In the Bridge section of the Network (Home/Office) properties, you
can configure the various LAN interfaces.
Caution: Do not change these settings unless specifically instructed
to by Verizon. Changes could adversely affect the operation of your
Gateway and your local network.
Verify the following information:
– IP Passthrough – select to disable Wi-Fi and routing capabilities
of the Gateway. May be necessary if connecting 3rd party
routers to the Gateway and disabling the IP Passthrough mode
into the device.
– Status – displays the connection status of a specific network
connection.
– Action – contains an Edit hyperlink that, when clicked, generates
the next level configuration page for the specific network
connection or network device.
• IP Address Distribution
The IP Address Distribution section is used to configure the Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server parameters of your
Gateway.
Once enabled and configured, the DHCP server automatically
assigns IP addresses to any network devices which are set to obtain
their IP address dynamically.
