Connection:

Always On

: A UMTS/GPRS call will be made when the router starts up. Enabling Always On will give you the option of

Keep Alive.

Keep Alive

: Set Enable to allow the router to automatically reconnect the connection when the ISP disconnects it.

Connect to Demand

: If you want to make a UMTS/GPRS call only when there is a packet re- questing access to the

Internet (i.e. when a program on your computer attempts to access the Internet). In this mode, you must set Idle Timeout

value. Enabling Connect on Demand will give you the option of Idle Timeout.

Idle Timeout

: Auto-disconnect the connection when there is no activity on this call for a pre- determined period of time.

The default value is 10 seconds.

Obtain DNS Automatically

: Select this check box to use DNS.

Primary DNS/ Secondary DNS

: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to the DHCP

clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.

Note: If you don’t know how to set these values then please leave them unchanged.

ADSL Mode

Connect Mode:

This mode will automatically detect your ADSL line code, ADSL2+, ADSL2, AnnexM2 and AnnexM2+,

ADSL, All.

Please keep the factory settings unless ADSL is the reason for a synchronization problem.

Modulation:

It will automatically detect capability of your ADSL line mode.

Please keep the factory settings unless

ADSL is reason for a synchronization problem.

Profile Type:

Please keep the default factory settings. If ADSL is the reason for low link rates, or making your

connection unstable then consider changing the value.

You may need to change the profile setting to reach the best

ADSL line rate; it depends on the DSLAM and location.

Activate Line:

Aborting (false) your ADSL line and making it active (true) again will take effect when setting the Connect

Mode.

Coding Gain:

It reduces the router’s transmit power which will affect the router’s downstream performance. Making the

gain Higher will increase the downstream rate but might cause your ADSL line to be unstable. The configurable ADSL

coding gain is from 0 dB to 7dB, or automatic.

Tx Attenuation:

It is the amount of power that the modem (upstream) or DSLAM (downstream) is using. The lower the

power the better the performance will be during modem upstream.

System

Here are the items within the System section:

Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore,

Restart

and

User Management.

Time Zone

The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to

get the current time from a SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone, click Enable and click the

Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP

server you have specified. If you prefer to specify a SNTP server other than those in the list, simply enter its IP address

as shown above. Your ISP may provide a SNTP server for you to use.

Daylight Saving is also known as Summer Time Period. Many places in the world adapt it during summer time to

move one hour of daylight from morning to the evening in local standard time. Check Enable checkbox to set your local

time.

Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router will wait before it re-synchronizes the router’s time with

that of the specified SNTP server. In order to avoid unnecessarily increasing the load on your specified SNTP server

you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the absolute minimum every few hours or even days.

DO NOT

turn off or interrupt the router during a firmware upgrade. This

could seriously damage the router.

Remote Access

This feature enables a system administrator to set the time interval where the router can be accessed for administration

purpose from a remote site (i.e. from outside your LAN).

If you wish to permanently enable remote access, set the time period to 0

minute.

Firmware Upgrade

Your router firmware is the software that enables it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think of your router as a

dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software it runs. Over time this software may be improved and revised,

and your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes.

Clicking on Browse will allow you to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded to your PC. Once the

correct file is selected, click Upgrade to update the firmware in your router.

Backup / Restore

This function allows you to save a backup of the current configuration of your router to a file on your PC, or to restore a

previously saved configuration. This is very useful if you wish to customize the settings of the router, knowing in

advance that you can always restore the settings if any mistakes are made. Therefore, it is advisable that you create a

backup of the configuration of your router before customizing its configuration.

Create a Router Configuration Backup:

To create a backup of the settings, simply click the Backup button and specify the location on your computer to save your

configuration file. You may also change the name of the file if you wish to keep multiple backups.

Restoring the Router Configuration

To restore the configuration of the router, click Browse to locate the configuration file on your computer. Once the file has

been located, click on the file then click on the Restore button to load the setting.

Note: You should only restore the settings with files that have been created using the Backup function with the

most current firmware version. Settings files saved to your PC should not be manually edited in any way.

Restart Router

Click Restart with the option of Current Settings to reboot your router (and restore your last saved

configuration).

If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you

have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory default settings.

You may also reset your router to factory settings by holding the small Reset pinhole button for longer than 6 seconds

on the back of your router.

Caution: After pressing the RESET button for more than 6 seconds, be sure to power cycle the device again.
