2-5-7 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 users want to provide services to other users on the

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

the 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

use the hostname

of DNS server! (i.e. only numeric characters and dots are accepted)

Wired LAN Configuration

Before all computers using wired Ethernet connection (i.e. those

computers connected to this router’s LAN port 1 to 4 by Ethernet cable)

can communicate with each other and access internet, they must have a

valid IP address.

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 computers to use dynamic IP address, it will save

a lot of time on setting IP addresses for every computer, especially when

there are a lot of computers in your network; for servers and network

devices which will provide services to other computers and users that

come from the Internet, a static IP address should be used.

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.

If you don’t really understand the descriptions listed above, don’t

worry! We will provide recommended setup values below.

Please follow the following instructions to set wired LAN parameters:

Please click ‘Local Network’ tab at the top of web management interface,

there are three setup groups here: ‘LAN IP’, ‘DHCP Server’, and ‘Static

DHCP Leases Table’. Here are setup instructions for each of them:

2-6-1 LAN IP section:

Here are descriptions of every setup item:

IP address (1):

Please input the IP address of this router.

Subnet Mask (2):

Please input subnet mask for this network.

802.1d

If you wish to activate 802.1d spanning tree

Spanning Tree (3):

function, select ‘Enabled’ for setup item ‘802.1d

Spanning Tree’, or set it to ‘Disabled’

DHCP Server (4):

If you want to activate DHCP server function of this

router, select ‘Enabled’, or set it to ‘Disabled’.

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

IP Address: 192.168.1.254

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

802.1d Spanning Tree: Disabled

DHCP Server: Enabled
