from Microsoft by searching the knowledge base for Windows XP WPA�

Windows XP� Other operating systems are not supported at this time�

WPA and that you have downloaded and installed the latest driver from

their support site�

Appendix A: Glossary

IP Address

The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router� To access the

advanced setup interface, type this IP address into the address bar

of your browser� This address can be changed if needed� To change

the IP address, type in the new IP address and click “Apply Changes”�

The IP address you choose should be a non-routable IP� Examples of a

non-routable IP are:

192�168�x�x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)

10�x�x�x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)

Subnet Mask

Some networks are far too large to allow all traffic to flood all its parts�

These networks must be broken down into smaller, more manageable

sections, called subnets� The subnet mask is the network address plus

the information reserved for identifying the “subnetwork”�

DNS

DNS is an acronym for Domain Name Server� A Domain Name Server

is a server located on the Internet that translates URLs (Universal

Resource Links) like www�belkin�com to IP addresses� Many ISPs do

not require you to enter this information into the Router� If you are using

a static IP connection type, then you may need to enter a specific DNS

address and secondary DNS address for your connection to work

properly� If your connection type is Dynamic or PPPoE, it is likely that

you do not have to enter a DNS address�

PPPoE

Most ADSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type� If you use an

ADSL modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log

you into the service�

Your connection type is PPPoE if:

1±

Your ISP gave you a user name and password which is required to

connect to the Internet�

2±

Your ISP gave you software such as WinPoET or Enternet300 that

you use to connect to the Internet�

3±

You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your

browser to get on the Internet�

To set the Router to use PPPoE, type in your user name and password

in the spaces provided� After you have typed in your information, click

“Apply Changes”�

After you apply the changes, the “Internet Status” indicator will read

“connection OK” if your Router is set up properly�

PPPoA

Enter the PPPoA information in the provided spaces, and click “Next”�

Click “Apply” 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)�

Disconnect after X±±±

This feature is used to automatically disconnect the Router from your

ISP when there is no activity for a specified period of time� For instance,

placing a check mark next to this option and entering “5” into the minute

field will cause the Router to disconnect from the Internet after five

minutes of no Internet activity�

This option should be used if you pay for your Internet service by

the minute�
