LAN

LAN (Local Area Network) refers to the local network that connects all local devices (call LAN devices) under Edge gateway. Through the LAN, LAN devices can communicate with each other and are managed by the Edge gateway, which provides access to external networks. LAN menu provide LAN related settings, including DHCP Server settings, Static Leases, and Client list.
