2–100 (99 computers). If you want to change this number, you
can do so by entering a new starting and ending IP address and
clicking on “Apply Changes”. The DHCP server can assign 100 IP
addresses automatically. This means that you cannot specify an
IP address pool larger than 100 computers. For example, starting
at 50 means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not to exceed
the 100-client limit. The starting IP address must be lower in
number than the ending IP address.
5.
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. 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 “Connection OK” 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.
1.
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.
VPI/VCI -
Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit
Identifier (VCI) parameter here. (Assigned by your ISP).
5.
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).
6.
Dial on Demand -
By selecting “Dial on Demand” your Router will
automatically connect to the Internet when a user opens up a web browser.
7.
Idle Time (Minutes) -
Enter the maximum idle time for the Internet
connection. After this time has been exceeded, the connection will
be terminated.

Setting your Connection Type to Dynamic IP (1483 Bridged)
This connection method bridges your network and ISP’s network
together. The Router will obtain an IP address automatically from your
ISP’s DHCP server.
1.
VPI/VCI -
Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit
Identifier (VCI) parameter here. These identifiers are assigned by your ISP.
2. Encapsulation -
Select LLC or VC MUX your ISP uses.
