Network Setup

Direct Connection

A direct connection is a direct IP connection to a network, i.e. a connection that does not

require a modem to be established. This is typically a LAN, DMZ or Guest connection,

but may also be an Internet connection. Network settings may be assigned statically, or

dynamically by a DHCP server.

Note

Direct connections may be added to a network bridge, this is discussed in Bridging later

in this chapter.

Network settings

Click the Edit icon of the interface your wish to modify.

To assign network settings statically, enter an IP Address and Subnet Mask. If you are

using the SG unit in its default, network address translation mode, (see Network address

translation in the Advanced section of this chapter), this is typically part of a private IP

range, such as 192.168.0.1 / 255.255.255.0. Ensure DHCP assigned is unchecked.

If required, enter a default Gateway out which to send outgoing traffic on this connection.

For LAN connections, a default gateway is not generally necessary.
