

Creating a Self-Signed Certificate. This method is the same as requesting a

certificate, only the authentication of the public key does not require a CA.

This is mainly intended for use within small organizations.



Loading a PKCS#12 Format Certificate. This method loads a certificate us-

ing an already available and certified set of private and public keys.

CONFIGURATION FILE

This feature is intended to provide the whole configuration of the PRG AV4202N

in only one step. You are asked only to locate the file and begin the configura-

tion file loading process. The configuration file is a script containing all the pa-

rameters you want to change and it is an alternative to the manually step by

step change of the same parameters performed by means of the web screen-

DDNS

The Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service enables you to alias a dynamic IP address

to a static hostname, allowing your computer to be more easily accessible from

various locations on the Internet. Typically, when you connect to the Internet,

your service provider assigns an unused IP address from a pool of IP ad-

dresses, and this address is used only for the duration of a specific connection.

Dynamically assigning addresses extends the usable pool of available IP ad-

dresses, whilst maintaining a constant domain name.

When using the DDNS service, each time the IP address provided by your ISP

changes, the DNS database will change accordingly to reflect the change. In

this way, even though your IP address will change often, your domain name will

remain constant and accessible.

will need to specify a user name and password.

DNS SERVER

Domain Name System (DNS) provides a service that translates domain names

into IP addresses and vice versa. The gateway's DNS server is an auto-learning

DNS, which means that when a new computer is connected to the network the

DNS server learns its name and automatically adds it to the DNS table. Other

network users may immediately communicate with this computer using either its

name or its IP address.

In addition your gateway's DNS:



Shares a common database of domain names and IP addresses with the

DHCP server.



Supports multiple sub-nets within the LAN simultaneously.



Automatically appends a domain name to unqualified names.



Allows new domain names to be added to the database using Router's

WBM.



Permits a computer to have multiple host names.



Permits a host name to have multiple IPs (needed if a host has multiple net-

work cards).

The DNS server does not require configuration. However, you may wish to view

the list of computers known by the DNS, edit the host name or IP address of a

computer on the list, or manually add a new computer to the list.

PRG AV4202N FIRMWARE

UPGRADE

PRG AV4202N

offers a built-in mechanism for upgrading its software image,

without losing any of your custom configurations and settings. There are two

methods for upgrading the software image:

1.

Upgrading from a local computer: use a software image file pre-downloaded

to your PC's disk drive or located on the accompanying evaluation CD.

2.

Upgrading from the Internet: also referred to as Remote Update, use this

method to upgrade your Firmware by remotely downloading an updated

software image file.

Upgrading From a Local Computer.

To upgrade the router’s software image using a locally available .rmt file: ac-

cess this feature either from the 'Maintenance' tab under the 'System' screen, or

by clicking its icon in the 'Advanced' screen. The ‘Firmware Upgrade' screen will

appear

Remote Update.

It helps you keep your software image up-to-date, by performing routine daily

checks for newer software versions, as well as letting you perform manual

checks.

To view the automatic check utility's settings and last check result, click the

'Firmware Upgrade' icon from the 'Advanced' screen. The 'Firmware Upgrade'

screen will appear. In the 'Upgrade From the Internet' section, you can select

the utility's checking method and interval. The result of the last performed check

is displayed by the line between the 'Check Now' and 'Force Upgrade' buttons,

indicating whether a new version is available or not.

If a new version is available:

- Press the 'Force Upgrade' button. A download process will begin. When

downloading is completed, a confirmation screen will appear, asking you if you

want to upgrade to the new version.

- Click 'OK' to confirm. The upgrade process will begin and should take no

longer than one minute to complete.

At the conclusion of the upgrade process the Router will automatically reboot.

The new software version will run, maintaining your custom configurations and

settings.

If a new version is not available press the 'Check Now' button to perform an

immediate check (instead of waiting for the next scheduled one). The screen

will display a green "

" message.
