•Use the LAN Setup screen to set the LAN IP address, subnet mask, and DHCP settings of your
AMG1302-T11C (Section 8.2 on page 120).
•Use the Static DHCP screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers
based on their MAC Addresses (Section 8.3 on page 122).
•Use the IP Alias screen (Section 8.4 on page 123) to change your AMG1302-T11C’s IP alias
settings.
•Use the UPnP screen to enable UPnP and UPnP NAT traversal on the AMG1302-T11C (Section 8.5
