gateway exists and the network management station and Residential Gateway are on

the same network.

Static IP MTU:

Static IP MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) can be changed for optimal

performance. 1500 is the default MTU.

DNS (Domain Name System):

DNS is used to map a domain name to its corresponding

IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important.

Without it, you must

know the IP address of a computer before you can access it. The Residential Gateway

uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to resolve domain names for

VPN, DDNS and the time server.

Primary DNS Server:

Specify the primary IP address of the DNS server.

Secondary DNS Server:

Specify the secondary IP address of the DNS server.

Ping from WAN:

Blocking the Ping may provide some extra security from hackers. Tick

this checkbox to allow the WAN port to be pinged.

2. DHCP:

Choose DHCP to obtain WAN IP Address information automatically from DHCP

server. The

DHCP

screen page appears as follows:

DHCP MTU:

You can change the DHCP MTU for optimal performance. 1500 is the

DHCP Server Settings

DHCP

(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual

clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure this

gateway as a DHCP server or disable it. When the gateway is configured as a server, it

provides the TCP/IP configuration for clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have

another DHCP server on your LAN; otherwise, the computer must be manually configured.

Tick

“

DHCP server

”

checkbox

to

enable or disable the DHCP server. If

Enable

is checked

and a DHCP server is available on the network, the Residential Gateway will automatically

get the IP address from the DHCP server. Otherwise (Disabled), the user needs to specify

the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. When DHCP is used, the following items need

to be set as well.

24

Start IP Address:

The starting IP address which can be assigned to this Residential

Gateway when a DHCP server is enabled and available on the network.

End IP Address:

The ending IP address which can be assigned to this Residential Gateway

when a DHCP server is enabled and available on the network.

DHCP Leased Time:

Enter the length of lease time in seconds for the automatically-

assigned IP address. When the leased time is expired, the user has to get the automatically-

assigned IP address from the DHCP server again.
