DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that
enables your modem to manage the assignment of IP addresses to
computers and devices on your Ethernet (LAN) network. DHCP is
enabled by default on the X7N. Enabling DHCP on the X7N
allows it to assign temporary IP addresses to your computers
whenever they connect to your network. You can control the
amount of time that lapses before a new address is issued or
renewed. You can extend the range of IP addresses that are
assigned to your network devices should you add new devices to

Network Address Translation. By
default, this setting is Enabled. NAT
keeps a table of individual private IP
addresses in your network and refers to
the table when incoming requests are
made. If no matches are found, the
incoming data cannot come into your
network. An Enabled setting keeps
your IP addresses hidden from outside
users.
Maximum Transmission Unit. Largest
physical packet size, measured in bytes,
that the modem can send. Any messages
larger than the MTU have to be
fragmented before being sent.
