Using Network Connections
5.2 Network (Home/Office) Connection
Internet Protocol
This section has three options: No IP Address, Obtain an IP Address
Automatically, and Use the Following IP Address.
No IP Address Select this option if the connection will have no IP address. This
is useful if the connection operates under a bridge.
Obtain an IP Address Automatically Select this option if the network
connection is required by the ISP to obtain an IP address automatically. The
server assigning the IP address also assigns a subnet mask address, which can
be overridden by entering another subnet mask address.
Use the Following IP Address Select this option if the network connection
uses a permanent (static) IP address, then the IP address and subnet
mask address.
Bridge
The "Bridge" section of the Configure Network (Home/Office) screen is used
to configure the LAN devices connected to the FiOS Router. By default, the
Ethernet, Coax, and Wireless Access Point connections are activated. Do not
change these settings unless instructed to do so by the ISP.
Status The "Status" column displays the connection status of a particular device.
STP Click in the device's "STP" check box to enable Spanning Tree Protocol
on the device. This protocol provides path redundancy while preventing
undesirable loops in the network.
Action The "Action" column contains an icon that, when clicked, generates the
configuration screen of the particular device.
