DFL-500 NPG network connections

Configuring your internal network

If you are running the DFL-500 NPG in NAT/Route mode, your internal network must be configured to route all internet traffic to the address of the internal interface of the DFL-500 NPG. This means changing the default gateway address of all computers connected directly to the internal network.

If you are using the DFL-500 NPG as the DHCP server for your internal network, configure the computers on your internal network for DHCP.

When the DFL-500 NPG is connected, make sure that it is functioning properly by connecting to the Internet from a computer on your internal network. You should be able to connect to any Internet address.

Completing the configuration

Use the information in this section to complete the initial configuration of the DFL-500 NPG.

Setting the date and time

For effective scheduling and logging, the DFL-500 NPG date and time should be accurate. You can either manually set the DFL-500 NPG time or you can configure the DFL-500 NPG to automatically keep its time correct by synchronizing with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.

To set the DFL-500 NPG date and time, see Setting system date and time.
