Lease Time
Lease time is the length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP
address for each computer. We recommend that you leave the lease
time set to “Forever”. The default setting is “Forever”, meaning that any
time a computer is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, the IP
address will not change for that particular computer. Setting lease times
for shorter intervals, such as one day or one hour, frees IP addresses after
the specified period of time. This also means that a particular computer’s
IP address may change over time. If you have set any of the other
advanced features of the Router, such as DMZ or client IP filters, these
are dependent on the IP address. For this reason, you will not want the IP
address to change.
6.
Local Domain Name
The default setting is “Belkin”. You can set a local domain name (network
name) for your network. There is no need to change this setting unless
you have a specific advanced need to do so. You can name the network
anything you want such as “MY NETWORK”.
DHCP Client List
You can view a list of the computers (known as clients), which are connected to
your network. You are able to view the IP address (1) of the computer, the host
name (2) (if the computer has been assigned one), and the MAC address (3) of
the computer’s Network Interface Card (NIC). Pressing the “Refresh” (4) button
will update the list. If there have been any changes, the list will be updated.
Internet WAN
The “Internet WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect
to your Internet Service Provider. The Router is capable of connecting
to virtually any ADSL Service Provider’s system provided you have
correctly configured the Router’s settings for your ISP’s connection
type. Your connection settings are provided to you by your ISP.

Manually Configuring your Router
To configure the Router with the settings that your ISP gave you, click
“Connection Type” (1) on the left side of the screen. Select the connection
type you use. If your ISP gave you DNS settings, clicking “DNS” (2) allows
you to enter DNS address entries for ISPs that require specific settings.
When you have finished making settings, the “Internet Status”
indicator will read “Connected” if your Router is set up properly.
Connection Type
From the “Connection Type” page, you can select one of these five
connection types based on the instruction provided by your ISP:
PPPoE
PPPoA
Dynamic IP (1483 Bridged)
Static IP (IPoA)
Modem Only (Disable Internet Sharing)
Note:
See Appendix C in this User Manual for some common DSL
Internet setting parameters. If you are not sure, please contact your ISP.

Select the type of connection you use by clicking the radio button
(1) next to your connection type and then clicking “Next”.
Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE or PPPoA
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is the standard method of
connecting networked devices. It requires a user name and password to
access the network of your ISP for connecting to the Internet. PPPoA (PPP
over ATM) is similar to PPPoE, but is mostly implemented in the UK. Select
PPPoE or PPPoA and click “Next”. Then enter the information provided
by your ISP, and click “Apply Changes” to activate your settings.

User Name
- Enter the user name. (Assigned by your ISP).
2.
Password
- Enter your password. (Assigned by your ISP).
3.
Retype Password
- Confirm the password.
(Assigned by your ISP).
4.
IP Assigned by ISP
– Leave “Yes” if your ISP automatically
assigns IP address. If your ISP assigned a fixed IP address,
select “No” and enter assigned values.
5.
VPI/VCI
- Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual
Circuit Identifier (VCI) parameter here. (Assigned by your ISP).
6.
Encapsulation
- Select your encapsulation type (supplied by
your ISP) to specify how to handle multiple protocols at the
ATM transport layer. VC-MUX: PPPoA Virtual Circuit Multiplexer
(null encapsulation) allows only one protocol running per virtual
circuit with fewer overheads. LLC: PPPoA Logical Link Control
allows multiple protocols running over one virtual circuit (more
overhead).
7.
Dial on Demand
- By selecting “Dial on Demand” your Router
will automatically connect to the Internet when a user opens up a
web browser.
8.
Idle Time (Minutes)
- Enter the maximum idle time for the
Internet connection. After this time has been exceeded, the
connection will be terminated.
9.
MTU
- The MTU setting should never be changed unless your you
a specific MTU setting. Making changes to the MTU can cause
problems with your Internet connection including disconnection
from the Internet, slow Internet access and problems with
Internet applications working properly.

Setting your Connection Type to Dynamic IP (1483 Bridged)
This connection method bridges your network and ISP’s network together.
The Router will obtain IP address automatically from your ISP’s DHCP server.
1.
IP Assigned by ISP
– Leave “Yes” if your ISP automatically
assigns IP address. If your ISP assigned a fixed IP address,
select “No” and enter assigned values.
2.
VPI/VCI
- Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual
Circuit Identifier (VCI) parameter here. These identifiers are
assigned by your ISP.
3.
Encapsulation
- Select LLC or VC MUX your ISP uses.
Setting your ISP Connection Type to Static IP (IPoA)
This connection type is also called “Classical IP over ATM” or “CLIP”, which
your ISP provides a fixed IP for your Router to connect to the Internet.
1.
IP Address
– Enter an IP address assigned by your ISP for the
Router WAN interface.
