WAN

WAN is short for Wide Area Network. The WAN settings can be referred to

as the Public settings. All IP information in the WAN settings are public IP

addresses which are accessible on the Internet.

The WAN settings consist of three main options:

Dynamic IP Address

Static IP Address

, and

PPPoE

. Select the appropriate option and fill in the

information needed to connect to your ISP.

Home > WAN

Dynamic IP Address

Choose

Dynamic IP Address

to obtain IP address information automatically

from your ISP. Select this option if your ISP does not give you any IP

numbers to use. This option is commonly used for Cable modem services.

Host Name:

The Host Name field is optional but may be required by some

ISPs. The host name is the device name of the Router.

MAC Address:

The default MAC address is set to the WAN's physical

interface MAC address on the Broadband Router. You can use the "Clone

MAC Address" button to copy the MAC address of the Ethernet Card

installed by your ISP and replace the WAN MAC address with this MAC

address. It is not recommended that you change the default MAC address

unless required by your ISP.

Please be sure

to remove any existing

PPPoE client software

installed on your

computers

Static IP Address

your ISP. You will need to enter in the IP address, subnet mask, gateway

address, and DNS address(es) provided to you by your ISP. Each IP

address entered in the fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which are

four IP octets separated by a dot (x.x.x.x). The Router will not accept the IP

address if it is not in this format.

any Client Software program

on your computer before you

start your configuration of the

DI-514 Router.

Choose PPPoE (Point to

Point Protocol over Ethernet)

if your ISP uses PPPoE

connection. Your ISP will

provide you with a username

and password. This option is

typically used for DSL

services. Select Dynamic

PPPoE to obtain an IP

address automatically for

your PPPoE connection.

Select Static PPPoE to use a static IP address for your PPPoE connection.

Dynamic PPPoE:

PPPoE connection where you will receive an IP address

automatically from your ISP

Static PPPoE:

PPPoE connection where you have an assigned (static) IP

address

User Name:

Your PPPoE username provided by your ISP

Password:

Your PPPoE password provided by your ISP

Retype Password:

Re-enter PPPoE password

Service Name:

Enter the service name provided by your ISP. (optional)

IP Address:

This option is only available for Static PPPoE. Enter in the

static IP address for the PPPoE connection.

Primary DNS Address:

Primary DNS IP provided by your ISP

Secondary DNS Address:

optional

Maximum Idle time:

The amount of time of inactivity before disconnecting

your PPPoE session. Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in minutes) to define a

maximum period of time for which the Internet connection is maintained

during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the defined

Maximum Idle Time, then the connection will be dropped. Either set this to

zero or enable Auto-reconnect to disable this feature.

MTU:

MTU stands for Maximum Transmission Unit. For PPPoE connections,

you may need to change the MTU settings in order to work correctly with

your ISP.

Auto-reconnect:

If enabled, the Broadband Router will automatically

connect to your ISP after your system is restarted or if the connection is

dropped.

Home > LAN

LAN is short for Local Area Network. This is considered your internal

network. These are the IP settings of the LAN interface for the DI-514. These

settings may be referred to as Private settings. You may change the LAN IP

address if needed. The LAN IP address is private to your internal network

and cannot be seen on the Internet.

IP Address:

The IP address of the LAN interface. The default IP address is

192.168.0.1.

Subnet Mask:

The subnet mask of the LAN interface. The default subnet

mask is 255.255.255.0.

Home > DHCP

DHCP

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DI-514 has a built-in

DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address to

the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to

be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address

Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically

load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the DI-514. The DHCP Server

will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to

the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address

of the IP address pool.

Starting IP address:

The starting IP address for the DHCP server’s IP

assignment.

Ending IP address:

The ending IP address for the DHCP server’s IP

assignment.

Lease Time:

The length of time for the IP lease.
