Configuring for NAT Disabled

If you plan to disable NAT, you need to assign valid IP addresses to all computers and network
devices on your LAN. However, you must begin the firewall router configuration by assigning

reconfigure your Management Station to use the fixed addressing scheme in order to reconnect to
the firewall router for further configuration.
