In this example we will reserve the IP address 192.168.1.10 for a device with a MAC
Address of E8:B2:C3:D4:E5:F6 called ‘My Laptop’.

Now connect your device to the Bright Box. If your device is already connected to the
Bright Box, and you changed the IP Address in Step 7 you will need to restart your device
to apply the changes. Next time your computer is connected to the router it will
automatically be assigned the IP address you have reserved.

If you wish at any stage to change the IP address of, or remove the address reservation
for the device, navigate back to the DHCP page and select the Edit or Delete links next
to the address reservation entry:
NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) is the mechanism that allows your router to route
incoming Internet traffic to the correct devices on your local network using a single public IP
address. NAT is enabled on the Bright Box router by default.
The NAT page in the router allows you to enable or disable the overall NAT setting for the
router. You can also configure various NAT features such as address mapping, port
forwarding, port triggers and view the NAT mapping table by clicking on the NAT item in the
left hand navigation menu.
You can configure the NAT module as follows:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on NAT in the left hand navigation menu:

You can enable or disable the NAT module on the Bright Box router by selecting the
option you want
on the NAT page (in this example, we are selecting ‘Enable’) and
pressing Save Settings:
Please note that disabling NAT on the router may prevent you from accessing Internet
services through your connected devices or computers, and is not recommended.
ADDRESS MAPPING
Address Mapping is a special feature that allows you to assign IP addresses in your local
network to one or more addresses in a public network like the Internet. This feature is useful
if you have multiple static global/WAN IP addresses and wish to divide local networks into
different groups.
This feature is not currently supported for EE Broadband users.
To access the Address Mapping page:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on NAT in the left hand navigation menu to expand the NAT menu items

This field is the index for the address mapping entry.
You can configure up to 10 address mapping entries.
Global IP
Use this field to configure the global (WAN/Internet)
IP address you wish to share for the address
mapping entry.
Virtual IP range
Use this field to configure the range of local LAN IP
addresses that will share the global IP address.
PORT FORWARDING
Port Forwarding can be used to ensure that certain types of data are sent to a specific
computer, device or server connected to your home network. This may be required if you're
having problems using a particular online game, or maybe if you're an advanced user running
a web server from your home network.
For security purposes the router will normally block incoming traffic that is not a direct
response to a request from a computer on your local network. The Port Forwarding feature
will allow you to create special exception rules that allow incoming Internet traffic of certain
types (designated by Port Numbers) to be forwarded to a particular computer on your
network without being blocked by the router.
Before setting up a Port Forwarding rule, it is a good idea to reserve an IP address for the
device you wish to set up the rule for. You can do this in the Advanced Set-Up > DHCP

Section
Description
Number
This field is the index for the port forwarding entry.
You can configure up to 20 port forwarding rules on
the router.
LAN IP address
This field is used to configure the LAN IP of the
device on your local network you wish to forward
the particular traffic type to.
It is recommended that you reserve an IP address on
the DHCP admin page for a particular device, as the
port forwarding rule will not work if the LAN IP
address configured in this page doesn’t match that
of the device.
Protocol Type
This dropdown is used to configure the traffic
protocol type that will be forwarded to your local
device.
Select ‘TCP’ for Transmission Control Protocol traffic
forwarding.
Select ‘UDP’ for User Datagram Protocol traffic
forwarding.
Select ‘TCP&UDP’ to allow forwarding of both traffic
types. Select this option if you are unsure which
type to use.
LAN Port
This field is used to configure the internal port that
traffic will be forwarded to on the LAN IP address for
