Using the Configuration Menu

Advanced > Routing

Static routes can be added if

you require specific routes

within your internal network.

These routes will not apply to

the WAN (Internet) network.

Enable

Select this option for the specified static route to take effect.

Hop Count -

In a transmission path, each link is terminated at a network device

such as a router or gateway. The number of hops equals the number of routers or

gateways that data must pass through before reaching the destination.

Dynamic Routing Settings allow the VPN Router to route IP

packets to another network automatically. The RIP protocol is

applied, and broadcasts the routing information to other routers

on the network regularly.

Dynamic Routing

RIP v1

Protocol in which the IP address is routed through the internet.

RIP v2

Enhanced version of RIP v1with added features such as Au-

thentication, Routing Domain, Next Hop Fowarding, and Subnet-

mask Exchange.

Destination

Enter in the IP of the specified network that you want to

access using the static route.

Subnet Mask

Enter in the subnet mask to be used for the specified net

work.

Gateway

Enter in the gateway IP address to the specified network.

Hop

Enter in the amount of hops it will take to the specified

network.

By default, it is set to disable. Check to enable (RIPv1 / RIPv2)

protocol.

Using the Configuration Menu

Advanced > DMZ

If you have a computer that cannot run Internet applications properly from behind the DI-

824VUP+, then you can allow that computer to have unrestricted Internet access. Enter

the IP address of that computer as a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host with unrestricted

Internet access. Adding a client to the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of

security risks; so only use this option as a last resort.

SSID Broadcast

Enable

is the default setting. Choose

Enable

to broadcast the SSID

across the network. All devices on a network must share the same

Disable

if you do not wish to broadcast the SSID over the network.

The DI-824VUP+ will be visible to all devices on the network. This is

the default setting.

Open System

Using the Configuration Menu

the WAN (Wide Area Network) port from the Internet using a web

browser. A username and password is still required to access the

browser-based management interface.

IP Address

Internet IP Address of the computer that has access to the DI-

824VUP+. If the IP Address is set to 0.0.0.0, this allows all Internet

IP addresses to access the DI-824VUP+.

Port

The port number used to access the DI-824VUP+.

Example:http://

x.x.x.x:8080, where x.x.x.x. is the WAN IP address

of the DI-824VUP++ and 8080 is the port used for the Web Manage-

ment interface.
