DMZ
The
DMZ
screen allows one local PC to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose
service, such as Internet gaming and video-conferencing. DMZ hosting forwards traffic to all
the ports for the specified PC simultaneously, unlike Port Range Forwarding that can only
forward a maximum of 10 ranges of ports.
DMZ Hosting
—Allows one local PC to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose
service such as Internet gaming and video-conferencing. To use this feature, select
Enabled
. To
disable the DMZ feature, select
Disabled

MAC Address Clone
Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address. This feature clones your PC network
adapter's MAC address onto the Router, and prevents you from having to call your ISP to

Advanced Routing
Operating Mode
Select the Operating mode in which the Router will function.
Gateway
—This is the normal mode of operation. This allows all devices on your LAN to share
the same WAN (Internet) IP address. In the Internet Gateway mode, the NAT (Network Address
Translation) mechanism is enabled.
Router
—You either need another Router to act as the Internet Gateway, or all PCs on your LAN
must be assigned (fixed) Internet IP addresses. In Intranet Router mode, the NAT mechanism is
disabled.
Dynamic Routing
The Router's dynamic routing feature can be used to automatically establish a routing table
through a database exchange with peer routers (running the same routing protocol). The
Router supports RIP (Routing Information Protocol) versions 1 & 2.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol—
The Router, using the RIP protocol, calculates the most
efficient route for the network’s data packets to travel between the source and the destination
based upon the shortest paths.
RIP Send Packet Version
—Choose the version of RIP packets you want to send to peers: RIPv1
or RIPv2. This should match the version supported by other Routers on your LAN.
RIP Recv Packet Version
—Choose the version of RIP packets you want to receive from peers:
RIPv1 or RIPv2. This should match the version supported by other Routers on your LAN.

Static Routing
Some ISPs require static routes to build your routing table instead of using dynamic routing
protocols. Static routes do not require CPU resources to exchange routing information with a
peer router. You can also use static routes to reach peer routers that do not support dynamic
routing protocols. Static routes can be used together with dynamic routes. Be careful not to
introduce routing loops in your network.
To set up static routing, you should add route entries in the routing table that tell the Router
where to forward packets to specific IP destinations.
Enter the following data to create a static route entry:
1.
Select Set Number
—Select the set number (routing table entry number) that you wish to
view or configure. If necessary, click
Delete This Entry
to clear the entry.
2.
Destination IP Address
—Enter the network address of the remote LAN segment. For a
standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first three fields of the Destination
LAN IP; the last field should be zero.
3.
Subnet Mask
—Enter the Subnet Mask used on the destination LAN IP domain. For Class C
IP domains, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
4.
Gateway—
If this Router is used to connect your network to the Internet, then your
gateway IP is the Router's IP Address. If you have another router handling your network's
Internet connection, enter the IP Address of that router instead.
5.
Hop Count (max. 15)
—Gives the number of routers that a data packet passes through
before reaching its destination. It is used to define the priority on which route to use if there
is a conflict between a static route and dynamic route.
Show Routing Table
button—Click this button to show the routing table established either
through dynamic or static routing methods.
Inter-VLAN Routing
Inter-VLAN Routing—
Select Enable to allow packets to be routed between VLANs that are in
different subnets. The default is Enable.

Network Time Protocol server to set the time and date, select this option, then complete the
following fields.
Time Zone
—Select the time zone for your location and your setting synchronizes over the
Internet with public NTP (Network Time Protocol) Servers.
Auto Daylight Saving—
If your location observes daylight savings time, select the Enable
option.
