3.4 LAN

This menu — with its two submenu screens: LAN Settings and DHCP Client List — presents options for configuring your local area network.

3.4.1 LAN Settings

IP Address: This is the router's LAN port IP address (your LAN clients' default gateway IP address), shown with the default value.

Subnet Mask: Specify a subnet mask for your LAN segment.

DHCP Server: Select to enable/disable the DHCP server. By enabling, the router will automatically give your LAN clients an IP address.

IP Pool Starting/Ending Address: If desired, define a specific range for your DHCP server to issue IP addresses to your LAN clients.

Lease Time: From the drop-down menu, select the time interval after

which the connected client computers are instructed to request a new IP address from the router.

DNS Proxy: When activated, the router acts as a DNS server in your network, which means that the computer sends the DNS request to the router, which in turn queries the ISP's DNS server. Since the router is caching the results, subsequent requests to the same domain name benefit from a performance gain. NOTE: These gains are negligible in smaller networks, so leaving this option disabled — thus having the client doing the DNS look-up itself — is more often than not the best option.

DHCP Client List: This table displays information relevant to clients connected to the router.

Host Name: Enter the name of a static client allowed access to the router.

IP Address: Enter the IP address of a static client allowed access to the router.

MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of a static client allowed access to the router.

3.5 NAT

The network address translation (NAT) menu presents options that make it possible to open ports, create a DMZ and perform other functions.

3.5.1 Virtual Server

Some games, servers and applications don't work in conjunction with NAT unless a virtual server is established to provide WAN-to-LAN port mapping.

Enabled: Select to enable/disable the function.

Private IP: This is the address of the internal host for which you want to open a port.

Private Port: Enter an internal port number.

Public Port: Enter an external port number.

Type: Select the protocol that's required for the service you're setting up (TCP or UDP).

Comment: Enter any description of the current virtual server item.

Add/Modify: Click to add/edit rules you've configured.

3.5.2 Port Triggering

The port trigger module dynamically registers virtual server rules when any IP host generates the packet from the specified trigger protocol and port. The port trigger module uses a forward protocol type and port number, and uses the IP address of the host that generates the trigger packet when it registers a rule.

Enabled: Select to enable/disable the function.

Trigger Port: Enter a range of ports.

Trigger Type: Select either "TCP" or "UDP" from the drop-down menu.

Public Port: Enter a range of ports.

Public Type: Select either "TCP" or "UDP" from the drop-down menu.

3.5.3 Port Mapping

This submenu/function allows you to set up public services on your

network, such as Web servers, FTP servers, e-mail servers and other specialized Internet applications (for example, videoconferencing or online gaming). When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the router will forward the request to the appropriate PC.

Enabled: Select to enable/disable the function.

Comment: Enter any description of the current mapping rules.

Server IP: Enter the server IP address.

Mapping Ports: Select either a protocol from the drop-down menu and enter the mapping ports.

You can select any of the three “passthroughs” here: “Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol”; “IPSec,” or Internet Protocol Security, which is a suite of protocols used to implement secure exchanges; and “Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol.”

FTP / Non-Standard FTP Port: If the FTP server is using a non-standard FTP port number, this can prevent FTP data connections

from being established. You should leave this in the 0-65535 range. NetMeeting / H323/Netmeeting Passthrough: To accept the connection request from any outside NetMeeting client, the virtual server for H323/Netmeeting (Port 1720) must be enabled.

3.5.5 DMZ

Enabled: Select to enable/disable the function.

Public IP Address: Make a selection from the drop-down menu.

Virtual Host Option: Choose either "DMZ" or "SDMZ":

- Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service, such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. It forwards all the ports at the same

time to one PC. The Port Forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to be opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of a computer, exposing the computer so the Internet can see it.

- Super Demilitarized Zone, or SDMZ, is similar to DMZ except that the local user (DMZ host) uses the public IP address of your Internet service instead of a private IP address.

IP Address of Virtual DMZ (if “DMZ” is selected): Enter the local IP address of the client PC that you want to place in the DMZ.

MAC Address of Virtual SDMZ (if "SDMZ" is selected): When SDMZ is activated, enter the MAC address of the local computer designated as the SDMZ host.

Get Current LAN IP automatically: If the computer you're currently using is supposed to be the DMZ host, you can select this option and the IP address will be entered automatically.

Add/Modify: Click to add/edit rules you've configured.

IP Address: Enter the address (or range) you want to filter.

URL Filter String: Enter a specific Web site name or domain name or any defining keywords (for example: games, youtube, nude) that could help focus the filter.

3.6.4 MAC Filtering

This screen allows you to allow or restrict communication between specified nodes.

MAC Access Control: Select one of three options: "Disable MAC Address Control function"; "Deny Internet Access for the following MAC addresses"; and "Allow Internet Access for the following MAC addresses."

MAC Address: Enter the MAC address (using the format shown) you

want to control. The format is 00:00:00:00:00:00, using the characters 0-9 and a-f.

Comment: Enter a description to differentiate among the various filters you configure.

3.7 Routing

This menu presents options for optimizing pathways for information packets, thus maximizing the efficiency and speed of the router.

3.7.1 Routing Table

The Routing Table List displays the current routing information as it pertains to the network. Click "Refresh" to update.

3.7.2 Static Routing

A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel in order to reach a specific host or network.

Destination Network IP: Specify an address you want information packets forwarded to.

Subnet Mask: Specify a subnet mask to distinguish the network and host portions of the IP address.

Gateway IP: Enter the gateway IP address.

3.7.3 Dynamic Routing

Dynamic routing can be used to cache routes learned by routing protocols, thus allowing the automation of static routing maintenance. The router, using RIP (Routing Information Protocol), determines a network packet's route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. NOTE: The RIP function is available only when the WAN connection mode is designated as either Static IP or Dynamic IP Address (see Section 3.3: WAN).

Enable Dynamic Routing:

Select to enable/disable the function.

Working Mode: Select "Router" or "Default Gateway."

Listen Mode: Select "Disabled," "RIP1," "RIP2" or "Both" (RIP1 & 2).

Supply Mode: Select "Disabled," "RIP1," "RIP2 (Broadcast)" or "RIP2 (Multicast)."

3.8 QoS

This menu presents Quality of Service options so you can provide different priorities to different applications, users or data flows — or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow — based on your specific network needs.

3.8.1 Port Based

Enable Port Rate Control: Select to enable/disable the function. LAN 1--4 / WAN: For each network connection, enter a maximum uplink/downlink bandwidth.

3.9 Miscellaneous

This menu presents a couple of popular functions that can be configured and put to use: Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS).

3.9.1 UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows the automatic discovery and configuration of equipment attached to your LAN, providing compatibility with networking equipment, software and peripherals of the 400-plus vendors that participate in the Universal Plug and Play forum.

Enable UPnP: Select to enable/disable the function.

Advertise Time: Enter the preferred value.

Refresh Port Mapping: Click to update the list.

3.9.2 DDNS

The DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) feature allows you to use a domain name instead of an IP address) to access Internet sites. Before you can use this feature, however, you need to register an account for DDNS service at a DDNS service provider such as DynDNS.

Enable DDNS: Select to enable/disable the DDNS server.

Host Name / User Name / Password: After you register a DDNS account with a DDNS service, you'll receive the information to enter in each of these fields.

DDNS Server: Select the service you've registered with from the drop-down menu.

DDNS Update Interval: Specify the update interval.

DDNS Ping Test: Click to check the connectivity to the DDNS provider.

3.10 High Level

This menu offers activation of an extra security measure to protect the network.

3.11 Status

This menu presents two informative submenus: Status and Log.

3.11.1 Status

This screen displays the router's current status and configuration.

3.11.2 Log

The router keeps a running log of events and activities, which are displayed on the screens accessed here. NOTE: When the router is rebooted, the logs are automatically cleared.

4 TROUBLESHOOTING

If you forget your password....

Press the Reset button for 5 seconds or more (with the router on) to restore factory settings. The default username is “admin” and the password is “1234.”

If problems arise with the cable modem connection....

Confirm that the cable modem is working properly and the signal is stable. Normally, there will be LEDs on the modem that indicate its operational status. If any LED indicates improper operation, contact your ISP.

Check the LEDs on the front panel of the router. When the cable connections are good, the PWR LED should be on and the WAN LED should be blinking. If you use your computer, the corresponding LAN port LED should also be blinking. If not, confirm that the cables are good. If they check out okay, re-visit Section 3.2.4: Configuration to make sure your configuration is correct. If you can't access the Internet, go to the next step

Open Internet Explorer (or another Web browser) and enter "192.168.2.1" in the address bar, then press . Enter "admin" in the User Name field and "1234" in the Password field, then click "OK." Click "LAN" in the top menu, select "DHCP Server," then click "OK" and close the browser window.
