Configuration

When you click this item, you get following sub-items to configure the ADSL router.

-

LAN, Wan, System, Firewall, VPN, VoIP, QoS, Virtual Server, Time Schedule

and

Advanced

These functions are described below in the following sections.

LAN - Local Area Network

Here are the items within the LAN section:

Bridge Interface, Ethernet, IP Alias, Ethernet Client Filter,

Wireless, Wireless Security, Wireless Client Filter, Port Settings

and

DHCP Server

.

Bridge Interface

You can setup member ports for each VLAN group under Bridge Interface section. From the example, two

VLAN groups need to be created.

Ethernet: P1 (Port 1)

Ethernet1: P2, P3 and P4 (Port 2, 3, 4). Uncheck P2, P3, P4 from Ethernet VLAN port first.

Note:

You should setup each VLAN group with caution. Each Bridge Interface is arranged in this order.

Ethernet

P1 / P2 / P3 / P4

Ethernet2

P3 / P4

Management Interface:

To specify which VLAN group has possibility to do device management, like

doing web management.

Note:

NAT/NAPT can be applied to management interface only.

Ethernet

Primary IP Address

IP Address:

The default IP on this router.

SubNetmask:

The default subnet mask on this router.

RIP:

RIP v1, RIP v2, and RIP v2 Multicast.

Check to enable RIP function.

IP Alias

This function supports to create multiple virtual IP interfaces on this router. It helps to connect two or more

local networks to the ISP or remote node. In this case, an internal router is not required.

IP Address:

Specify an IP address on this virtual interface.

SubNetmask:

Specify a subnet mask on this virtual interface.

Security Interface:

Specify the firewall setting on this virtual interface.

Internal:

The network is behind NAT. All traffic will do network address translation when sending out to

Internet if NAT is enabled.

External:

There is no NAT on this IP interface and connected to the Internet directly. Mostly it will be used

when providing multiple public IP addresses by ISP. In this case, you can use public IP address in local

network which gateway IP address point to the IP address on this interface.

DMZ:

Specify this network to DMZ area. There is no NAT on this interface.

Ethernet Client Filter

The Ethernet Client Filter supports up to 16 Ethernet network machines that helps you to manage your

network control to accept traffic from specific authorized machines or can restrict unwanted machine(s) to

access your LAN.

There are no pre-define Ethernet MAC address filter rules; you can add the filter rules to meet your

requirements.

Ethernet Client Filter:

Default setting is set to

Disable

.

~

Allowed:

check to authorize specific device accessing your LAN by insert the MAC Address in

the space provided or click

.

Make sure your PC’s MAC is listed.

~

Blocked:

check to prevent unwanted device accessing your LAN by insert the MAC Address in

the space provided or click

. Make sure your PC’s MAC is not listed.

The maximum client is 16.

The MAC addresses are 6 bytes long; they are presented only in

hexadecimal characters.

The number

0

-

9

and letters

a

-

f

are acceptable.

Note:

Follow the MAC Address Format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.

Semicolon ( : ) must be included.

Candidates:

automatically detects devices connected to the router through the Ethernet. .

Wireless

(Wireless Router only)

Parameters

WLAN Service:

Default setting is set to

Enable

.

Disable.

Mode:

The default setting is

802.11b+g

(Mixed mode). If you do not know or have both 11g and 11b

devices in your network, then keep the default in

mixed mode

.

From the drop-down manual, you can

select

802.11g

if you have only 11g card.

If you have only 11b card, then select

802.11b

.

ESSID:

The ESSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguished from another.

For security propose, change the default

wlan-ap

to

a unique ID name to the AP which is already built-in

to the router’s wireless interface. It is case sensitive and must not excess 32 characters. Make sure your

wireless clients have exactly the ESSID as the device, in order to get connected to your network.

Note:

It is case sensitive and must not excess 32 characters.

ESSID Broadcast:

It is function in which transmits its ESSID to the air so that when wireless client

searches for a network, router can then be discovered and recognized. Default setting is

Enabled.

~

Disable: I

f you do not want broadcast your ESSID.

Any client uses “any” wireless setting

cannot discover the Access Point (AP) of your router.

~

Enable:

Any client that using the “any” setting can discover the Access Point (AP) in

Regulation Domain:

There are seven Regulation Domains for you to choose from, including North

America (N.America), Europe, France, etc. The Channel ID will be different based on this setting.

Channel ID:

Select the wireless connection ID channel that you would like to use.

Use the

Scan

Channel Usage

~

Scan Channel Usage:

Wireless channel scan takes up to 14 seconds to survey the channel ID

in the network area.

The result will show all ID channel is being occupied or not occupied.

Note:

Wireless performance may degrade if select ID channel is already being occupied by other AP(s).
