Configuration (Advanced Mode)

LAN

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system network where many computers

are connected. This type of network is area defined and is usually limited to a confined region within

a building or just within the same storey of a building. There are 3 items within the LAN section:

Ethernet

,

IP Alias

and

DHCP Server

.

Ethernet

The router supports more than one Ethernet IP addresses in the LAN, and with distinct LAN subnets

through which you can access the Internet at the same time. Users usually only have one subnet in

their LAN. The default IP address for the router is 192.168.1.254.

IP Address:

The default IP on this router.

Netmask:

The default subnet mask on this router.

RIP:

RIP v1, RIP v2, RIP v1+v2 and RIP v2 Multicast.

IP Alias

This function allows the addition of more than 1 IP address to the network interface. This further

allows user to assign each IP address with specified functions.

IP Address:

Enter the IP address to be added to the network.

Netmask:

Specify a subnet mask for the IP to be added.

40

DHCP Server

DHCP allows networked devices to obtain information on the parameter of IP, Netmask, Gateway as

well as DNS through the Ethernet Address of the device. If you check the DHCP Relay you

must enter the IP address of the DHCP server that assigns an IP address to the DHCP client in the

LAN. Use this function only if advised to do so by your network administrator or ISP. Click Apply to

enable this function.

41

WAN

A WAN (Wide Area Network) is a computer network that covers a broad geographical area (eg.

Internet) that is used to connect LAN and other types of network systems. There are two items

within the WAN section:

WAN Profile

and

ADSL Mode

.

WAN Profile (ADSL)

PPPoE Connection (ADSL)

PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) provides access control in a manner similar to dial-up services using

PPP.

Description:

A given name for the connection.

VPI/VCI:

Enter the information provided by your ISP.

Encapsulation mode:

Select the encapsulation format. Select the one provided by your ISP.

Username:

Enter the username provided by your ISP. You can input up to 256 alphanumeric

characters (case sensitive). This is in the format of “username@ispname” instead of simply

“username”.

Password:

Enter the password provided by your ISP. You can input up to 32 alphanumeric

characters (case sensitive).

Service Name:

This item is for identification purposes. If it is required, your ISP will provide you

the necessary information. Maximum input is 32 alphanumeric characters.

NAT:

The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the Internet

through a single IP account by sharing a single IP address. If users on your LAN have their own

public IP addresses to access the Internet, NAT function can be disabled.

IP (0.0.0.0:Auto):

Your WAN IP address. Leave the IP address as 0.0.0.0 to enable the device to

automatically obtain an IP address from your ISP.

42

Auth. Protocol:

Default is Auto. Please consult your ISP on whether to use Chap, Pap or

MSCHAP.

Connection:

Always on:

If you want the router to establish a PPPoE session during start up and to auto-

matically re-establish the PPPoE session when disconnected by the ISP.

Idle Timeout:

Auto-disconnect the broadband firewall gateway when there is no activity on the line for

a predetermined period of time.

MTU:

Control the maximum Ethernet packet size your PC will send.
