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:
ISP
,
DNS
and
ADSL
.
ISP
The factory default is PPPoE. If your ISP uses this access protocol, click
Edit
to input other parameters
as below. If your ISP does not use PPPoE, you can change the default WAN connection entry by clicking
Change
.
Some of ISP may provide more service via different WAN connection. In case, you can create more
connections by clicking
Create
. The device can support maximum up to 8 WAN connections.
Note:
The application of multiple WAN connections is depend on your Service Provider.
A simpler alternative is to select
Quick Start
from the main menu on the left. Please see the Quick Start
section of the manual for more information.

RFC 1483 Routed Connections
Description:
User-definable name for the connection.
VPI and VCI:
Enter the information provided by your ISP.
ATM Class:
The Quality of Service for ATM layer.
NAT:
The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the Internet through
a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. If users on your LAN have public IP addresses and
can access the Internet directly, the NAT function can be disabled.
Encapsulation method:
Selects the encapsulation format, the default is LLC Bridged. Select the one
provided by your ISP.
IP Assignment
~
Obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP client:
specify if the Router can get an IP
address from the ISP (Internet Service Provider) automatically.
~
Use the following IP Address:
Specify the IP address manually; the IP should be given by you
our ISP.
RIP:
RIP v1, RIP v2, and RIP v2 Multicast. Check to enable RIP function.
MTU:
Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram (excluding media-specific headers)
that IP will attempt to send through the interface.

RFC 1483 Bridged Connections
Description:
User-definable name for the connection.
VPI and VCI:
Enter the information provided by your ISP.
ATM Class:
The Quality of Service for ATM layer.
Encapsulation method:
Select the encapsulation format, this is provided by your ISP.
Acceptable Frame Type:
Specify what kind of traffic can through this connection, all traffic or only VLAN
tagged.
Filter Type:
Specify the type of ethernet filtering performed by the named bridge interface.
All
Allows all types of ethernet packets through the port.
Ip
Allows only IP/ARP types of ethernet packets through the port.
Pppoe
Allows only PPPoE types of ethernet packets through the port.
PVID for Untagged Frames:
PVID is known as Port VLAN Identifier. When an untagged packet is
received by input port(s), this packet will be tagged with specified PVID. The valid value range for PVID is
1~4094.

access the Internet directly, the NAT function can be disabled.
Username:
Enter the username provided by your ISP. You can input up to
128
alphanumeric characters
(case sensitive). This will usually be in the format of “username@ispname” instead of simply “username”.
