(Usually, your ISP will provide some PPPoE software. This
software is no longer required, and should not be used.)
If this method is selected, you must complete the
PPPoE
dialup
fields.
PPTP Connection
– This is for
PPTP
users only.
1.
Enter the
Username
and
Password
provided by your ISP.
2.
If using PPTP, enable the
PPTP Connection
checkbox, and
enter the IP address of the PPTP server.
Note:
If using the PPTP connection method, select
Static IP
or
Dynamic IP
,
whichever is appropriate according to the IP address method used by
your ISP.
Address
Information
This is for
Static IP
users only. Enter the address information provided
by your ISP. If your ISP provided multiple IP addresses, you can use
the
Multi-DMZ
screen to assign the additional IP addresses.
DNS
(Optional for
dynamic IP)
If using a
Fixed IP
address, you MUST enter at least 1 DNS address.
If using
Dynamic IP
or
PPPoE
, DNS information is optional.
Optional
Host name
– This is required by some ISPs. If your ISP has
provided a Host Name, enter it here. Otherwise, you can use the
default value.
Domain name
– This is required by some ISPs. If your ISP has
provided a Domain Name, enter it here. Otherwise, you can use
the default value.
MAC address
– Some ISPs record your MAC address (also
called "Physical address" or "Network Adapter address"). If so,
you can enter the MAC address expected by your ISP in this field.
Otherwise, this should be left at the default value.
Setup of the Router is now completed. You must proceed to configure the PCs on your
LAN. See the following section for details.
3.2
LAN & DHCP
Select LAN & DHCP from the menu. You will see a screen like the example below.
These screens and settings are provided to deal with non-standard situations, or to
provide additional options for advanced users.
Existing DHCP Server
If your LAN already has a DHCP Server, and you wish to continue using it, the following
Page 17 / 66

configuration is required.
y
The DHCP Server function in the Router must be disabled.
y
Your DHCP Server must be configured to provide the Router's LAN IP address as the
"Default Gateway".
y
Your DHCP Server must provide correct DNS addresses to the PCs.
Figure: LAN & DHCP
Settings – LAN & DHCP
LAN IP
Configuration
IP address
This is the Router IP address to the local
LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in
use or your LAN is using a different IP address range. In the
latter case, enter an unused IP Address from within the
range used by your LAN.
Subnet Mask
-
The default value 255.255.255.0 is
standard for small (class "C") networks. For other networks,
use the Subnet Mask for the LAN segment to which the
Router is attached (the same value as the PCs on that LAN
segment).
Optional
Configuration
y
DHCP Server Setup
- If
Enabled
, the Router will allocate
IP Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when
they start up. The default and recommended value is
"Enabled". (Windows systems, by default, act as DHCP
clients. This setting is called
Obtain an IP address
automatically
.)
If you are already using a DHCP Server,
the DHCP Server setting must be
Disabled
, and the
existing DHCP server must be set to provide the IP address
of the Router as the
Default Gateway
.
y
LAN Any IP
–By default, it is disabled. If you enable “LAN
Page 18 / 66
18
Any IP”, it means no matter what static IP address the client
(your PC) has. It does not need to change the IP address,
even though it has a different IP segment than LAN
segment. It still can access Internet through NAT.
DHCP
Configuration
y
Lease Time
– It is a finite period of time for a DHCP server
lease an IP address to a client.
y
DNS Server IP for Client
– An IP address of the default
DNS server for the client requesting DHCP service.
y
Offered IP Range
fields set the values used by the DHCP
server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This
range also determines the number of DHCP clients
supported.
View DHCP List
This table shows the IP addresses which have been allocated by
the DHCP Server. For each address which has been allocated,
the following related information is shown.
Free Entry
indicates how many DHCP entries are not currently
allocated, and still available.
Name
– The "hostname" of the PC. In some cases, this
may not be known.
MAC Address
– The physical address (network adapter
address) of the PC.
IP Address
– The IP address allocated to this PC.
Type
– Indicates IP address to be dynamic or static.
Status
– If
Dynamic
, the IP address was allocated by this
DHCP Server. If
Sniffed
, the IP address was detected by
examining the LAN, rather than allocated by the DHCP
Server. In this case, the
Name
is usually not known.
Time Left
– The leftover time after the IP address is leased.

4. Advanced Port Setup
Overview
y
Port Options contains some options for the WAN port. For most situations, the default
values are satisfactory.
y
Advanced PPPoE setup is required if you wish to use multiple sessions on one or both
of the WAN ports. It can also be used to manually connect or disconnect a PPPoE
session. Otherwise, this screen can be ignored.
y
Advanced PPTP setup is required if using the PPTP connection method.

MTU
– The largest amount of data that can be transferred
across a given physical network. Ethernet limits transfers to
1500
octets of data. Normally, you should leave this value at
its default value. Change it only if the ISP is providing a MTU.
Connection
Health Check
Method
±
ICMP:
The health checkup is performed by sending an
ICMP echo request
packet to the specific destination.
The specific destination ("Alive Indicator") could be either:
1. If the input box is filled (NAME or IP address): the host
is used.
2. If the input box is left blank: gateway of WAN interface
will be used. Then if one ICMP echo reply packet from
Page 20 / 66

Alive Indicator or gateway is received, the connection
is considered OK. If there is no response received after
4 tries, the connection is considered as failed.
±
HTTP:
The device gets TCP connection with the Alive
Indicator first. Then the device sends HTTP HEAD packet
to the Alive Indicator. If any HTTP DATA from the Alive
Indicator is received, the connection is considered OK. If
there are no responses received after 5 tries, the
connection is considered as failed.
±
Traffic:
If there is no traffic on the WAN port in the Interval
time, the connection is considered as failed
Interval
– The period to check if the WAN port is alive or not.
Alive Indicator
– This is used for the ICMP or HTTP Method
to determine if your Internet connection is active or not. (You
can enter either the IP address or host name
Transparent
Bridge
Option
Bridge Mode
– If Set to Enable, traffic from Lan hosts with
real IPs can go through the specific WAN port without NAT
translation. This device works like a bridge switch for that
specific WAN port.
NetBIOS Broadcast
– If enabled, NetBIOS Broadcast
packets are allowed to pass through the device.
ARP Table
– ARP Table is used by the device to determine
the bridge hosts location (eg. inside/outside WAN and which
WAN). Its size can be adjusted if needed.
4.2
Advanced PPPoE
In order to use multiple PPPoE sessions on the same WAN port, configuring the following
screen is required.
This can also be used to manually connect or disconnect a PPPoE session.
