2-5-8 Setup Procedure for ‘DDNS’:

DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is an IP-to-Hostname mapping service for those

Internet users who don’t have a static (fixed) IP address. It will be a problem

when such user wants to provide services to other users on Internet, because

their IP address will vary every time when connected to Internet, and other

user will not be able to know the IP address they’re using at a certain time.

This router supports DDNS service of several service providers, for

example:

DynDNS (

http://www.dyndns.org

)

TZO (

http://www.tzo.com

)

Please go to one of DDNS service provider’s webpage listed above, and get

a free DDNS account by the instructions given on their webpage.

Dynamic DNS (1):

If you want to enable DDNS function, please select

‘Enabled’; otherwise please select ‘Disabled’.

Wired LAN Configurations

There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address

(set the IP address for every computer manually), and dynamic IP address

(IP address of computers will be assigned by router automatically. It’s

recommended for most of computers to use dynamic IP address; it will save

a lot of time, especially when there are a lot of computers in your network.

Static IPs should be set for servers and network devices which will provide

services to users over the Internet, so users computes can locate the server.

Suggestions on IP address numbering plan:

If you have no idea on how to define an IP address plan for your

network, here are some suggestions.

1. A valid IP address has 4 fields: a.b.c.d, for most of home and

company users, it’s suggested to use 192.168.c.d, where c is

an integer between 0 and 254, and d is an integer between 1

and 254. This router is capable to work with up to 253 clients,

so you can set ‘d’ field of IP address of router as 1 or 254 (or

any number between 1 and 254), and pick a number between 0

and 254 for field ‘c’.

2. In most cases, you should use ‘255.255.255.0’ as subnet mask,

which allows up to 253 clients (this also meets router’s

capability of working with up to 253 clients).

3. For all servers and network devices which will provide

services to other people (like Internet service, print service,

and file service), they should use static IP address. Give each

of them a unique number between 1 and 253, and maintain a

list, so everyone can locate those servers easily.

4. For computers which are not dedicated to provide specific

service to others, they should use dynamic IP address.

2-6-2 DHCP Server:

These settings are only available when ‘DHCP Server’ in ‘LAN IP’ section

is ‘Enabled’.

Lease Time (1):

Please choose a lease time (the duration that every

computer can keep a specific IP address) of every IP

address assigned by this router from dropdown menu.

Start IP (2):

Please input the start IP address of the IP range.

End IP (3):

Please input the end IP address of the IP range.

Domain Name (4):

If you wish, you can also optionally input the domain

name for your network. This is optional.

Recommended Value if you don’t know what to fill:

Lease Time: Two Weeks (or ‘Forever’, if you have less than 20 computers)

Start IP: 192.168.2.100

End IP: 192.168.2.200

Domain Name: (leave it blank)

NOTE:

1. The number of the last field (mentioned ‘d’ field) of ‘End IP’ must be

greater than ‘Start IP’, and can not the same with router’s IP address.

2. The former three fields of IP address of ‘Start IP’, ‘End IP’, and ‘IP

Address of ‘LAN IP’ section (mentioned ‘a’, ‘b’, and ‘c’ field) should be

the same.

3. These settings will affect wireless clients too.
