Chapter 6: Set Up and Configure the Router

Setup Tab - Network

10/100 4-Port VPN Router

Setup Tab - Network

The Setup screen contains all of the router’s basic setup functions. See Figure 6-5. The device can be used in

most network settings without changing any of the default values. Some users may need to enter additional

information in order to connect to the Internet through an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or broadband (DSL, cable

modem) carrier.

Network

Host Name & Domain Name: Enter a host and domain name for the Router. Some ISPs may require these names

as identification, and these settings can be obtained from your ISP. In most cases, leaving these fields blank will

work.

LAN Setting

This is the Router’s LAN IP Address and Subnet Mask. The default value is 192.168.1.1 for IP address and

255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask.

Dual-WAN / DMZ Setting

Before choosing the WAN Connection Type, please choose the Dual-WAN / DMZ Setting first.

DMZ

In order to allow such services, the Router comes with a special DMZ port which is used for setting up public

servers. The DMZ port sits between the local network ports and the Internet port. Servers on the DMZ are publicly

accessible, but they are protected from attacks such as SYN Flooding and Ping of Death. Use of the DMZ port is

optional; it may be left unconnected.

Using the DMZ is preferred and, if practical, a strongly recommended alternative to Public LAN Servers or putting

these servers on the WAN port where they are not protected and not accessible by users on the LAN.

Each of the servers on the DMZ will need a unique, public Internet IP address. The ISP used to connect the

network to the Internet should be able to provide these addresses, as well as information on setting up public

Internet servers. If you plan to use the DMZ Mode, contact your ISP for the Static IP information.

Specify DMZ IP Address: Enter the DMZ IP Address and Subnet Mask.

Setup Tab - Network

WAN Connection Type

Obtain an IP Automatically

If your ISP automatically assigns an IP Address, select

Obtain an IP automatically

. Your ISP will assign these

values. If you check the box for

Use the Following DNS Server Addresses

, enter a specific DNS Server IP.

Multiple DNS IP Settings are common. In most cases, the first available DNS entry is used. See Figure 6-6.

Static IP

If you have to specify the WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Address, and DNS Server, select

Static

IP

. You must obtain this information from your ISP. See Figure 6-7.

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) (most DSL users)

See Figure 6-8.

You have to check with your ISP to make sure whether PPPoE should be enabled or not. If they do use PPPoE:

1.

Enter your User Name and Password.

2.

If you select

Connect on Demand

option, the PPPoE connection will be disconnected if it has been idle for a

period longer than the Max Idle Time setting.

3.

If you select

Keep Alive

option, the Router will keep the connection alive by sending out a few data packets

at the Redial Period, so your Internet service thinks that the connection is still active.

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)

See Figure 6-9.

1.

Enter the Specify WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway Address that is provided by your ISP.

2.

Enter your User Name and Password.

3.

If you select

Connect on Demand

option, the connection will be disconnected if it has been idle for a period

longer than the Max Idle Time setting.

4.

If you select

Keep Alive

option, the Router will keep the connection alive by sending out a few data packets

at the Redial Period, so your Internet service thinks that the connection is still active.

Setup Tab - Password

10/100 4-Port VPN Router

Setup Tab - Password

The Router's default User Name and password is

admin

, and it is strongly recommended that you change the

Router's password from the default. If you leave the password field blank, all users on your network will be able

to access the Router simply by entering

admin

into the password field. See Figure 6-10.

Old Password: Enter the old password. The default Password is ‘admin’ when you first power up the Router.

(Note: The password cannot be recovered if it is lost or forgotten. If the password is lost or forgotten, you have to

reset the Router to its factory default settings.)

New Password: Enter a new password for the Router. Your password must be less than 15 characters long and it

can’t contain any spaces.

Confirm New Password: Re-enter the password for confirmation.

Click the

Save Settings

button to save the Password settings or click the

Cancel Changes

button to undo the

changes.

Setup Tab - Time

Time

The Router uses the time settings to time stamp log events, to automatically update the Content Filter List, and

for other internal purposes. See Figure 6-11.

Set the local time using Network Time Protocol (NTP) automatically or manually.

Automatic: Select the Time Zone and enter the Daylight Saving and NTP Server. The default Time Zone is Pacific

Time.

Manual: Enter the Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Month, Day and Year.

Click the

Save Settings

button to save the Time settings or click the

Setup Tab - DMZ Host

10/100 4-Port VPN Router

Setup Tab - DMZ Host

The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet to use a

special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing. See Figure 6-12.

Enter the

DMZ Private IP Address

to access the DMZ Host settings. The Default value zero (0) will deactivate the

DMZ Host.

Click the

Save Settings

button to save the DMZ Host setting or click the

Cancel Changes

button to undo the

changes.

Setup Tab - Forwarding

Port forwarding can be used to set up public services on your network. When users from the Internet make

certain requests on your network, the Router can forward those requests to computers equipped to handle the

requests. If, for example, you set the port number 80 (HTTP) to be forwarded to IP Address 192.168.1.2, then all

HTTP requests from outside users will be forwarded to 192.168.1.2. See Figure 6-13.

You may use this function to establish a Web server or FTP server via an IP Gateway. Be sure that you enter a valid

IP Address. (You may need to establish a static IP address in order to properly run an Internet server.) For added

security, Internet users will be able to communicate with the server, but they will not actually be connected. The

packets will simply be forwarded through the Router.

Port Range Forwarding

1.

Select the Service from the pull-down menu. See Figure 6-14.

2.

If the Service you need is not listed in the menu, please click the

Service Management

button to add the

new Service Name, and enter the Protocol and Port Range. Click the

Add to List

button. Then, click the

Save

Setting

button. Click the

Exit

button.

3.

Enter the IP Address of the server that you want the Internet users to access. Then enable the entry.

4.

Click the

Add to List

button, and configure as many entries as you would like. You also can

Delete selected
