PPPoE WAN Mode

A method of connection that requires you to enter a

Username

and

Password

(provided by your

Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.

The username that you use to login to your Internet connection.

Enter the password associated with your username.

Retype the password for verification.

If your ISP requires a service name, enter it here.

Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The D-Link Router allows

you to set the connection mode:

• Always on

: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.

• On demand

: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.

• Manual

: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and

click the Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the

Internet.

Defines how long the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection

is disconnected.

The

Disconnect

button will immediately terminate any active connection.

Note: These buttons become enabled after the router has been rebooted

with the PPPoE mode selected.

LAN

Your internal network settings are configured based on the IP Address and Subnet Mask assigned

in this section. The IP address is also used to access this Web-based management interface. It is

recommended that you use the default settings if you do not have an existing network.

LAN Settings

The IP address of the router on the local area network. The local network

settings are based on the address assigned here.

The subnet mask of your router on the local area network.

Used with multiple routers to broadcast routing information.

This option is used if you have multiple routers.

DHCP

The DHCP section is where you configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the

computers and other devices on your local area network.

DHCP Settings

Once your D-Link Router is properly configured and this option is enabled,

the DHCP Server function will assign your network devices the necessary

information to connect to the LAN and Internet. This eliminates the need to

manually configure each device on your network with IP settings.

Note: The devices on your network must have TCP/IP bound to the Ethernet

connection with the “DHCP” or “Obtain an IP address automatically” option

enabled.

This option defines the range of addresses available for the Router to assign

to your internal network. If you have any devices using static IP addresses,

be sure the addresses do not fall within the range defined here. A Static IP

address is one that is entered in manually on the device.

Example:

Your D-Link Router uses an IP address of 192.168.0.1. You’ve assigned

a computer designated as a Web server with a static IP address of

192.168.0.3. You’ve assigned another computer designated as an FTP

server with a static IP address of 192.168.0.4. The starting IP address for

your DHCP server needs to be 192.168.0.5 or above.

The amount of time a computer may have an IP address before it is required

to renew the lease. The lease functions just as a lease on an apartment

would. The initial lease designates the amount of time before the lease

expires. If the tenant wishes to retain the address when the lease expires

then a new lease is established. If the lease expires and the address is no

longer needed, then another tenant may use the address.

Number of Dynamic DHCP Clients

In this section, you can see what LAN devices are currently leasing IP addresses. The DHCP Client

table displays the number of clients that are receiving an IP address from the router. The computer

name, MAC address, and IP address assigned to each computer are displayed here as well. You can

Revoke

IP addresses in this section. The

revoke

option allows you to tale away a leased IP address

from a client. This feature is useful for freeing up addresses when the client table is full or nearly full.

Be sure to only revoke addresses from devices that are no longer needed on the network.

Add Static DHCP Client

Static DHCP Clients receive the same IP address all the time. This is almost the same as if a device

has a static IP address except that it must still actually request an IP address from the D-Link Router.

The D-Link Router will provide the device the same IP address all the time. Servers on your network

should either use a static IP address or this option. To input the MAC address of your system, enter

it in manually or connect to the D-Link Router’s Web-Management interface from the system and

click the Copy Your PC’s MAC Address button.

A MAC address is usually located on a sticker on the bottom of a network device. The MAC address

is comprised of twelve digits. Each pair of hexadecimal digits are usually separated by dashes or

colons such as 00-0D-88-11-22-33 or 00:0D:88:11:22:33. If your network device is a computer and

the network card is already located inside the computer, you can connect to the D-Link Router from

the computer and use the

Copy Your PC’s MAC Address

option to enter the MAC address.

Example: You have an FTP server that you want to share files over the Internet. You can connect to

the D-Link Router from the computer designated as the FTP server.

1.

Enter a designated IP address somewhere between the Starting IP and Ending IP addresses.

2.

Click the

Copy Your PC’s MAC Address

button and the D-Link Router will detect the MAC

address and enter it automatically.

3.

The computer name can be entered in for reference but is not required.

4.

Click the OK button and then click on the Save Settings button at the top of the page.

The IP address will now only be assigned to the designated computer and it will always receive the

same IP address as long as it uses the same Ethernet adapter.

Note: If you replace the Ethernet adapter in a computer that is using Static DHCP, you will need to

Copy the PC’s MAC Address again because every Ethernet adapter has a unique MAC address. The

same goes for any network device. If you replace a network device such as a print server, you will

need to input the MAC address of the new print server into the Static DHCP configuration.

Static DHCP Client List

Entries on this list can be enabled/disabled by toggling the Enable checkbox. Entries can be modified

by clicking on the paper and pencil icon. To delete an entry, click on the trash can icon. After you’ve

completed all modifications or deletions, you must click the

Save Settings

button at the top of the

page to save your changes. The router must reboot before new settings will take effect. You will be

prompted to

Reboot the Device

or

Continue

. If you need to make additional settings changes, click

Continue

. If you are finished with your configuration settings, click the

Reboot the Device

button.
