Use the Router for DHCP

To use the built-in DHCP server, click to select the

DHCP Server

option if it is not already selected.

The IP Address Pool settings can be adjusted. The

Starting IP Address

is the lowest available IP

address. If you change the IP address of the Router this will change automatically to be 1 more that

the IP address of the Router.

The

Ending IP Address

is the highest IP address number in the pool. Select the desired

Lease Time

from the drop-down menu. This is the amount of time that a workstation is allowed to reserve an IP

address in the pool if the workstation is disconnected from the network or powered off.

Disable the DHCP Server

To disable DHCP, click the Disabled

DHCP Server

radio button and then click the

Apply

button.

Choosing this option requires that workstations on the local network must be configured manually or

use another DHCP server to obtain IP settings.

If you configure IP settings manually, make sure to use IP addresses in the subnet of the Router. You

will need to use the Router’s IP address as the Default Gateway for the workstation in order to

provide Internet access.

Menu - Advanced

The Advanced folder contains main windows for Virtual Server, Special Applications, Firewall Rules,

DMZ, IP Filters, MAC Filters, URL Blocking, Domain Blocking, Wireless Performance, and Dynamic

DNS.

ADVANCED – VIRTUAL SERVER

Use this window to set up forwarding rules applied to inbound (WAN-to-LAN) traffic. The Virtual

Server function allows remote users to access services on your LAN such as FTP for file transfers or

SMTP and POP3 for e-mail. The Wireless Broadband Router will accept remote requests for these

services at your Global IP Address, using the specified TCP or UDP protocol and port number, and

then redirect these requests to the server on your LAN with the LAN IP address you specify.

Remember that the specified Private IP Address must be within the useable range of the subnet

occupied by the Router.

UDP/TCP port redirection is used to direct inbound traffic to the specified servers or workstations

on your private network. Port redirection can also be used to direct potentially hazardous packets

to a proxy server outside your firewall. For example, you can configure the Router to direct HTTP

packets to a designated HTTP server in the DMZ. You can define a set of instructions for a specific

incoming port or for a range of incoming ports. Each set of instructions or rule is indexed and can be

modified or deleted later as needed.

Below you will find a list of some common used ports and their corresponding application:

Note:

When you are using an application which supports UPnP Port Mapping, the router can be

automatically configured by the application when needed. In that case, you don’t need to

setup your port mappings manually.

Note:

When using Virtual Server rules, it is advised to configure the computer(s) with a Fixed IP

Address instead of a Dynamic IP Address.

Note:

In the next picture you will see an example of a Virtual Server configuration.
