Port Setting

This section allows you to configure the settings for the router’s Ethernet ports to solve some of the

compatibility problems that may be encountered while connecting to the Internet, as well allowing users to

tweak the performance of their network.

Port # Connection Type:

There are Six options to choose from: Auto, 10M half-duplex, 10M full-duplex,

100M half-duplex, 100M full-duplex, 1000M full-duplex and Disable. Sometimes, there are Ethernet

compatibility problems with legacy Ethernet devices, and you can configure different types to solve

compatibility issues. The default is

Auto

, which users should keep unless there are specific problems

with PCs not being able to access your LAN.

IPv4 TOS priority Control (Advanced users):

TOS, Type of Services, is the 2

nd

octet of an IP packet.

Bits 6-7 of this octet are reserved and bit 0-5 are used to specify the priority of the packet.

This feature uses bits 0-5 to classify the packet’s priority. If the packet is high priority, it will flow first and

will not be constrained by the Rate Limit. Therefore, when this feature is enabled, the router’s Ethernet

switch will check the 2

nd

octet of each IP packet. If the value in the TOS field matches the checked values

in the table (0 to 63), this packet will be treated as high priority.

DHCP Server

You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or enable the router’s

DHCP relay functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to dynamically assign IP addresses to PCs

on your network if they are configured to obtain IP addresses automatically.

To disable the router’s DHCP Server, check

Disabled

and click

Next,

then click

Apply.

When the DHCP

Server is disabled you will need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each PCs on your network, and

set the default gateway for each PCs to the IP address of the router (by default this is 192.168.1.254).

To configure the router’s DHCP Server, check

DHCP Server

and

click

Next

. You can then configure

parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and ending IP address to be

allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP address (the period of time the IP

address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the gateway IP address. These details are sent to

the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from the DHCP server. Click

Apply

to

enable this function. If you check “

Use Router as a DNS Server

”, the ADSL Router will perform the

domain name lookup, find the IP address from the outside network automatically and forward it back to

the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network).

If you check

DHCP Relay Agent

and click

Next

, then you will have to enter the IP address of the DHCP

server which will assign an IP address back to the DHCP client in the LAN. Use this function only if

advised to do so by your network administrator or ISP.

Click

Apply

to enable this function.

WAN - Wide Area Network

WAN refers to your Wide Area Network connection, i.e. your router’s connection to your ISP and the

Internet. Here are the items within the

WAN

section:

WAN Interface

,

WAN Profile

and

ADSL Mode

.

WAN Interface

The factory default has the Connection Mode as ADSL and the Protocol as PPPoE.

Main Port—Dual WAN

In dual wan mode, it supports failover function. When WAN1 fails, it will switch to WAN2, and when

WAN1 is OK, it will switch to WAN1 again.

Main Port:

Select

Dual WAN

.

Mode Failover:

Set to trigger ADSL / 3G failover function ready.
