G. UpnP Configuration

The “UpnP” (Universal Plug and Play) selection at the top of the page (see

Figure 33

) enables all

PCs in your Intranet to discover this router automatically. You do not have to do any configuration

for your PC and can access the Internet through this router easily. The “Port Mapping” selection

(see

Figure 34

) shows you a status of the automatically configured connections.

H. DDNS Configuration

The “DDNS” selection (Dynamic Domain Name Service) allows you to map the static domain

name to a dynamic IP address. You must get an account, password and your static domain name

from the DDNS service provider (see

Figure 35

).

VI.

Logging Out

Select “LOGOUT” at the top of the page when you are done with router configuration. The screen

shown in

Figure 36

Glossary

Default Gateway (Router):

Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP

address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the

device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination.

DHCP:

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every computer on your

home network an IP address.

DNS Server IP Address:

DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet servers to have a

domain name (such as www.Broadbandrouter.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as

192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective domain names and

IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing "www.onqlegrand.com." into your

Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the

computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to you.

DSL Modem:

DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to

transmit data at high speeds.

Ethernet:

A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and

hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second (Mbps).

Idle Timeout:

Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to the Internet for a pre-configured

amount of time, the connection will automatically be disconnected.

IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask:

IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a

series of four numbers separated by periods, that identifies a single, unique Internet computer host in an

IP network. Example: 192.168.0.1. It consists of 2 portions: the IP network address, and the host

identifier.

The IP address is a 32-bit binary pattern, which can be represented as four cascaded decimal numbers

separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each “aaa” can be anything from 000 to 255, or as four

cascaded binary numbers separated by “.”: bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb, where each “b”

can either be 0 or 1.

A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive leading

1’s followed by consecutive trailing 0’s, such as

11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can also be described

simply as “x” number of leading 1’s.

When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that correspond to

1’s in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the

host ID.

For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,

11011001.10110000.1001

0000.00000111, and if its network mask is,

11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000

It means the device’s network address is

11011001.10110000.1001

0000.00000000, and its host ID is,

00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111

. This is a convenient and efficient method for routers to route

IP packets to their destination.

ISP Gateway Address:

(see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the

Internet router located at the ISP's office.

ISP:

Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for

individuals and other businesses or organizations.

LAN:

Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively

small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.

MAC Address:

MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a

device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a device with an Ethernet

interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for

each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the product’s serial number.

NAT:

Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to

use one IP address. Using the On-Q Router/Switch’s NAT capability, you can access the Internet from

any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.

Port:

Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network application/protocol over

another. Below is a list of common applications and protocol/port numbers:

PPPoE:

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a secure data transmission

method originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet connections.

PPPoE

relies on

two widely accepted standards, Ethernet and the Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a communications protocol

for transmitting information over Ethernet between different manufacturers

Protocol:

A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple parties so that when

they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of their behavior is well defined

and can be made objectively, without confusion or misunderstanding.

Router:

A router is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between different networks based

on network layer address information such as IP addresses.

Subnet Mask:

A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a

set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address

numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by

the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).

TCP/IP, UDP:

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram

Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and

UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is

reliable. UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a

network layer protocol.

WAN:

Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas

(e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.

Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI):

Many devices support a graphical user

interface that is based on the web browser. This means the user can use the familiar Netscape or

Microsoft Internet Explorer to Control/configure or monitor the device being managed.
