You can configure the IP parameters of the LAN on this page.

- 13 -

Figure 4-3 LAN
MAC Address - The physical address of the router, as seen from the LAN. The value can't be changed. IP Address - Enter the IP address of your router (factory default: 192.168.1.1). Subnet Mask - An address code that determines the size of the network. Normally use 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask. Note: a. b. c. If you change the IP address of the LAN, you must use the new IP address to login to the router. If the new LAN IP Address you set is not in the same subnet, the IP address pool in the DHCP sever will not take effect, until they are configured properly. If the new LAN IP Address you set is not in the same subnet, the Virtual Server and DMZ Host may change accordingly at the same time, youd better re-configure it as well.

You can configure the WAN port parameters on this page. First, please choose the WAN Connection Type (Dynamic IP/Static IP/PPPoE/802.1x + Dynamic IP/802.1x + Static IP) to the Internet. The default type is PPPoE. If you arent given any login parameters (fixed IP address, logging ID, etc), please select Dynamic IP. If you are given a fixed IP (static IP), please select Static IP. If you are given a user name and a password, please select PPPoE. If you are not sure which connection type you use currently, please contact your ISP to obtain the correct information. 1. If you choose Dynamic IP, the router will automatically get IP parameters from your ISP. You can see the page as follows (Figure 4-4):

- 14 -

Figure 4-4 WAN - Dynamic IP
This page displays the WAN IP parameters assigned dynamically by your ISP, including IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, etc. Click the Renew button to renew the IP parameters from your ISP. Click the Release button to release the IP parameters. MTU Size: The normal MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes. For some ISPs you need to reduce the MTU. But this is rarely required, and should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection. If your ISP gives you one or two DNS addresses, select Use These DNS Servers and enter the primary and secondary addresses into the correct fields. Otherwise, the DNS servers will be assigned dynamically from ISP. Note: If you get Address not found' errors when you go to a Web site, it is likely that your DNS servers are set up improperly. You should contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses. Get IP with Unicast DHCP: A few ISPs' DHCP servers do not support the broadcast applications. If you cannot get the IP address normally, you can choose this option. (You generally need not check this option). If you are also given a user name and a password for 802.1x authentication, you should select 802.1x + Dynamic IP for WAN Connection Type, a user name and a password will then appear, shown in Figure 4-5:

DHCP Settings

The router is set up by default as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which provides the TCP/IP configuration for all the PCs that are connected to the router on the LAN. The DHCP Server can be configured on the page (shown in Figure 4-12):
Figure 4-12 DHCP Settings
DHCP Server - Enable or Disable the DHCP server. If you disable the Server, you must have another DHCP server within your network or else you must manually configure the computer. Start IP Address - This field specifies the first of the addresses in the IP address pool. 192.168.1.100 is the default start address. End IP Address - This field specifies the last of the addresses in the IP address pool. 192.168.1.199 is the default end address. Address Lease Time - The Address Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes, which the user will be "leased" this dynamic IP address. The range of the time is 1 ~ 2880 minutes. The default value is 120 minutes. Default Gateway - (Optional.) Suggest to input the IP address of the LAN port of the router, default value is 192.168.1.1

- 20 -

Default Domain - (Optional.) Input the domain name of your network. Primary DNS - (Optional.) Input the DNS IP address provided by your ISP. Or consult your ISP. Secondary DNS - (Optional.) Input the IP address of another DNS server if your ISP provides two DNS servers. Note: To use the DHCP server function of the router, you must configure all computers on the LAN as "Obtain an IP Address automatically" mode. This function will take effect until the router reboots.

Port Triggering

Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, video conferencing, Internet calling and so on. These applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. Port Triggering is used for some of these applications that can work with an NAT router. You can set up Port Triggering on this page shown in Figure 4-19:

- 24 -

Figure 4-19 Port Triggering
Once configured, operation is as follows: 1. A local host makes an outgoing connection using a destination port number defined in the Trigger Port field. 2. The router records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with this entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the local host. 3. When necessary the external host will be able to connect to the local host using one of the ports defined in the Incoming Ports field. Trigger Port - The port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using this port will "Trigger" this rule. Trigger Protocol - The protocol used for Trigger Ports, either TCP, UDP, or All (all protocols supported by the router). Incoming Ports Range - The port or port range used by the remote system when it responds to the outgoing request. A response using one of these ports will be forwarded to the PC that triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port section). Every group of ports must be set apart with ",". For example, 2000-2038, 2050-2051, 2085, 3010-3030. Incoming Protocol - The protocol used for Incoming Ports Range, either TCP or UDP, or ALL (all protocols supported by the router). Status - The status of this entry either Enabled or Disabled. To add a new rule, enter the following data on the Port Triggering screen. 1. Click the Add New button. (pop-up Figure 4-20) 2. Enter a port number used by the application when it generates an outgoing request. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Select the protocol used for Trigger Port from the pull-down list, either TCP, UDP, or All. Enter the range of port numbers used by the remote system when it responds to the PC's request. Select the protocol used for Incoming Ports Range from the pull-down list, either TCP or UDP, or All. Select the Enable checkbox to enable. Click the Save button to save the new rule.

- 25 -

Figure 4-20 Add or Modify a Triggering Entry There are many popular applications in the Popular Application list. You can select it, and the application will fill in the Trigger Port, incoming Ports Range boxes and select the Enable checkbox. It has the same effect as adding a new rule. To modify or delete an existing entry: 1. 2. 3. Click the Modify in the entry you want to modify. If you want to delete the entry, click the Delete. Modify the information. Click the Save button.

Firewall

Using the Firewall page (shown in Figure 4-24), you can turn the general firewall switch on or off. The default setting for the switch is off. If the general firewall switch is off, even if IP Address Filtering, DNS Filtering and MAC Filtering are enabled, their settings are ineffective.
Figure 4-24 Firewall Settings
Enable Firewall - the general firewall switch is on or off. Enable IP Address Filtering - set IP Address Filtering is enabled or disabled.

- 28 -

There are two default filtering rules of IP Address Filtering, either Allow or Reny passing through the router. Enable Domain Filtering - Set Domain Filtering as enabled or disabled. Enable MAC Filtering - Set MAC Address Filtering is enabled or disabled. You can select the default filtering rules of MAC Address Filtering, either Allow or Reny accessing the router.

IP Address Filtering

You can configure the Remote Management function on this page shown in Figure 4-31. This feature allows you to manage your Router from a remote location, via the Internet.

- 33 -

Figure 4-31 Remote Management
Web Management Port - Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. This routers default remote management web port number is 80. For greater security, you can change the remote management web interface to a custom port by entering that number in the box provided. Choose a number between 1024 and 65534, but do not use the number of any common service port. Remote Management IP Address - This is the current address you will use when accessing your router from the Internet. The default IP address is 0.0.0.0. It means this function is disabled. To enable this function, change the default IP Address to another IP Address as desired. To access the router, you will type your router's WAN IP address into your browser's address (in IE) or Location (in Navigator) box, followed by a colon and the custom port number. For example, if your Router's WAN address is 202.96.12.8 and you use port number 8080, enter in your browser: http://202.96.12.8:8080. You will be asked for the router's password. After successfully entering the password, you will be able to access the router's web-based utility. Note: Be sure to change the router's default password to a very secure password.
