LAN Setup

DHCP Configuration

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Your NB4 has it's DHCP Server

enabled by default this means it will assign valid IP addresses to each computer connected to it

and will direct those computers to use the NB4 as the gateway to the internet. Having the

DHCP server enabled is the recommended choice.

If you disable the DHCP server in the NB4 you will need to either manually (statically) assign

IP address information to each computer or use another device/computer as DHCP server.

Note:

It is not recommended that you have more than one DHCP server enabled on

your network.

Server On:

Enables the DHCP server.

Start IP:

Sets the start IP address of the IP address pool.

End IP:

Sets the end IP address of the IP address pool.

Lease time:

The lease time is the amount of time of a network user will be allowed to

connect with DHCP server. If all fields are 0, the allocated IP address will

be effective forever.

Relay On:

Allow PCs on LAN to request IP from other DHCP server.

Relay IP

:

Sets the other DHCP server IP address.

Management IP

The Management IP is the IP address of your NB4 on your local network. This IP address is

specified on all computers on your network as the Gateway IP address. The Management IP

address is also the IP address you type into your browser location bar to configure your NB4.

The Management IP address is usually 192.168.1.1 but you can change it to another suitable

number (e.g. 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 or 172.16.1.1) to suit any existing network devices you

already have installed. The NetMask describes how big your network is, the default

255.255.255.0 will allow for 253 computers and generally does not need to be changed unless

to suit existing network requirements.

Note:

If you change your Management IP address the DHCP server in your NB4 will

automatically change the IP address range (DHCP pool) it hands out accord-

ingly.

IP Address:

Private IP address for connecting to a local private network (Default:

192.168.1.1).

Netmask:

Netmask for the local private network (Default: 255.255.255.0).

Default Gateway:

This field is optional. Enter in the IP address of the router on your

network.

Host Name:

Required by some ISPs. If the ISP does not provide the Host name,

please leave it blank.

Domain Name:

www.dynsns.org will provide you with a Domain Name. Enter this name

in the "Domain Name" field.

Physical Port:

There are five kinds of mode for data transfer (Auto)(10/Half Du-

plex)(10/Full Duplex)(100/Half Duplex)(100/Full Duplex).

PPPoE Connection Setup

If you click 'New Connection' or 'Connection 0' you will be prompted with the screen shown

below.

If you clicked 'New Connection' the screen will have mainly blank options which need to be

filled in. This is for manually creating a new connection account that will be used at the same

time or in place of the 'Quick Start' account (a.k.a. Connection 0).

If you clicked 'Connection 0' you will be editing the existing settings that were created during

the 'Quick Start' process.

The Connection setup page requires you to choose the correct settings to work with your

ADSL connection as specified by your ISP. The screen will add or remove non-applicable

choices as you change options. There are a few main settings you will need to confirm with

your ISP before you can complete this page, these are;

■

Type of Connection (e.g. PPPoE, PPPoA, Bridge)

■

Username & Password (usually only required for PPPoE or PPPoA types)

■

VPI & VCI (usually VPI=8 and VPI =35, Some times this can be 1 & 32)

■

Authentication (Usually AUTO will work otherwise check with your ISP)

Most other choices on this screen are personal preference and not critical to getting your

connection working.

Note:

The Username & Password you need to type in here is for your ISP's account

and it will be supplied to you by your ISP.

NAT

Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method of mapping one or more IP addresses and/or

IP service ports into different specified values.

Firewall is available in addition to the built-in

NAT mechanism.

When working with wide area connections, the first thing you must do is to

have the handle of the connection. Once you have the handle for a Connection you must

define the PVC and protocol settings for it.
