DHCP Specify Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) settings to enable network administrators
to centrally manage the assignment and
distribution of IP information to computers on a
network. When you enable DHCP on a network,
you allow a device (such as your X3's router or a
router located with your Internet service provider)
to assign temporary IP addresses to your
computers whenever they connect to your
network.
IP Routing
Set up the routes on which you want the X3 to
send data it receives on a particular interface (for
example, LAN interface, Ethernet interface, etc.)
Routes specify the IP address of the next device
interface or Internet destination to forward data to,
given the ultimate destination of the data.
Blocked Select the protocols you want blocked from your
Protocols computer (for example, IP Milticast, NetBEUI, IPX,
APR, AppleTalk).
Bridge Filter
Filter packets at the Ethernet protocol level.
Firewall
Modify the default firewall settings. For example,
use this page to specify the email address(es) to
which you want an alert sent if your
computer/network is attacked.
NAT Specify Network Address Translation settings.
The most common reason for changing the
default settings is if you have a LAN and require
each computer to have its own public IP address.
Otherwise, the default NAT setting provides
sufficient protection for most users.
RIP
Specify whether the X3 can communicate with
other routing devices and, if so, on which
interfaces. It also lets you specify how long routes
remain in memory.
LAN Specify the settings that control the connection
between the X3 modem and your Ethernet jack.
