Configuration options within the

Advanced

section are for users who wish to take advantage

of the more advanced features of the router. Users who do not understand the features

should not attempt to reconfigure their router, unless advised to do so by support staff.

3.6.3.7.1 Static Routed

Click on the

Static Routing

and then choose

Create IP V4Route

to get the below figure to

add a routing table.

•

Destination:

Enter the destination subnet IP.

•

Gateway:

Enter the gateway IP address which the packet is forwarded to.

•

Netmask:

Subnet mask of destination IP addresses based on above destination

subnet IP.

•

Cost:

This is the same meaning as Hop. Usually, leave it as 1.

•

Interface:

Enter the interface, which the packet is forwarded to.

3.6.3.7.2 Dynamic DNS

The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if

your ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is

especially useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to

connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP

address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address

of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP.

Click

Dynamic DNS

to get the below figure then check the “

Enable

” button to access the

Dynamic DNS service.

72

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname.

This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use the service, you must

first apply for an account from this free Web server http://www.dyndns.org/

. There are more

than 8 DDNS servers supported.

•

Dynamic DNS:

Select the registered DDNS server.

•

Domain Name, Username and Password:

Enter the registered domain name,

username and password.

•

Period:

Set the time period for the Router to exchange information with the DDNS

server. In addition to update periodically according to this period setting, the Router

will take the same action automatically whenever the assigned IP changes.

•

Wildcard:

Select this check box to enable the DYNDNS Wildcard.

3.6.3.7.3 VLAN

VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a group of devices on different physical LAN segments

that can communicate with each other as if they were all on the same physical LAN segment.

Select

Port Base

and after click on

Apply

.

Group individual ports into a small “Virtual” network of their own to be independent of the

other ports. To add a VLAN group check on the port to be a member to this VLAN Group,

and press

“

Apply

”

button to execute the setting.

3.6.3.7.4 Device Management

The Device Management advanced configuration settings allow you to control your router’s

security options and device monitoring features.

Device Management:

Is

possible to move the port number used for remote configuration of

the router, is also possible to block access for a determined period of time and to a precise IP

address (leaving instead 0,0,0,0 it is possible to configurare the Router from whichever IP).

Is

moreover possible Enable/Disable the function Universal Plug and Play and establish the

door used for this service.

Finally is possible to configure protocol SNMP.

Embedded Web Server:

HTTP Port: This is the port number the router’s embedded web server (for web-based

configuration) will use. The default value is the standard HTTP port, 80. Users may specify

an alternative if, for example, they are running a web server on a PC within their LAN.

For Example: User A changes HTTP port number to 8081. The router will only allow User A

access typing:

http://192.168.1.254:8081

in their web browser.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP):

UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with

control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running

NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as

port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing

the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.

Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition

to the router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when the component is

installed), and Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing client from

Windows XP in order to support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.

•

Disable: Check to disable the router’s UPnP functionality.

•

Enable: Check to enable the router’s UPnP functionality.

UPnP Port: Its default setting is 2800. It is highly recommended for users to use this port

value. If this value conflicts with other ports already being used you may wish to change the

port.

Simple Network Management Protocol:

SNMP Access Control (Software on a PC within the LAN is required in order to utilize this

function)

SNMP V1 and V2:

•

Read Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Read Community, and an IP

address. This community string will be checked against the string entered in the

configuration file. Once the string name is matched, user obtains this IP address will

be able to view the data.

•

Write Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Write Community, and an IP

address. This community string will be checked against the string entered in the

configuration file. Once the string name is matched, users from this IP address will be

able to view and modify the data.

•

Trap Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Trap Community, and an IP

address. This community string will be checked against the string entered in the

configuration file. Once the string name is matched, users from this IP address will be

sent SNMP Traps.

SNMP V3:

Specify a name and password for authentication. And define the access right from identified

IP address. Once the authentication has succeeded, users from this IP address will be able

to view and modify the data.

SNMP Version: SNMPv2c and SNMPv3

SNMPv2c is the combination of the enhanced protocol features of SNMPv2 without the

SNMPv2 security. The "c" comes from the fact that SNMPv2c uses the SNMPv1 community

string paradigm for "security", but is widely accepted as the SNMPv2 standard.

SNMPv3 is a strong authentication mechanism, authorization with fine granularity for remote

monitoring.
