Remote Administration

If enabled, this feature allows you to manage the Wireless Router via the Internet.

Remote Administration

Enable Remote

Management

Check to allow administration/management via the Internet. (To

connect, see below).

If Disabled, this device will ignore Administration connection

attempts from the Internet.

Current

IP Address

This is the current address you will use when accessing this

device from the Internet. To connect, see details and an exam-

ple below.

Port Number

Enter a port number between 1 and 65535. The default for

HTTP (Web) connections is port 80, but using port 80 will

prevent the use of a Web "Virtual Server" on your LAN. So

using a different port number is recommended. The default

value is 8080.

The port number must be specified in your Browser when you

connect. See the following section for details.

Access Permission

Allow Remote

Access

Select the desired option.



Everyone

- allow access by everyone on the Internet.



Only This Computer

- allow access by only one IP ad-

dress. Enter the desired IP address.



IP Address Range

- allow access from a range of IP

addresses on the Internet. Enter a beginning and ending IP

address to define the allowed range.

For security, you should restrict access to as few external IP

addresses as practical.

To connect from a remote PC via the Internet

1.

Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser.

2.

In the "Address" bar, enter "HTTP://" followed by the Internet IP Address of the

Wireless Router. If the port number is not 80, the port number is also required.

(After the IP Address, enter ":" followed by the port number.)

e.g.

HTTP://123.123.123.123:8080

This example assumes the WAN IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and the port

number is 8080.

3.

You will then be prompted for the login name and password for this device.

Routing

Overview



If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the

"Routing" page completely.



If the Wireless Router is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment,

ignore the "Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers.



If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the Wireless

Router is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing In-

formation Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.



If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which

LAN segments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information

Protocol). Configure the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to confi-

gure the other Routers.)



If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on

the Wireless Router, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are cor-

rect:



Open

Routing and Remote Access



In the console tree, select

Routing and Remote Access, [server name], IP

Routing, RIP



In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP

version 2, and then click "Properties".



On the "General" tab, set

Outgoing packet protocol

to "RIP version 2

broadcast", and

Incoming packet protocol

to "RIP version 1 and 2".

Routing Screen

The routing table is accessed by the

Routing

link on the

Administration

menu.

Using this Screen

Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the Static

Routing Table, as explained above, although is it possible to use both methods

simultaneously.

Static Routing Table



If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN seg-

ment on your Network, other than the segment to which this device is attached.



The other Routers must also be configured. See

Configuring Other Routers on

your LAN

later in this chapter for further details and an example.

Configuring Other Routers on your LAN

It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the

Wireless Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or

Internet. To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the Wireless

Router as the

Default Route

or

Default Gateway

.

Local Router

The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Wireless

Router. This router requires that the

Default Route

is the Wireless Router itself.

Typically, routers have a special entry for the

Default Route

. It should be configured

as follows.

Destination IP Address

Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documenta-

tion.

Network Mask

Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documenta-

tion.

Gateway IP Address

The IP Address of the Wireless Router.

Metric

1

Other Routers on the Local LAN

Other routers on the local LAN must use the Wireless Router's

Local Router

as the

Default Route

. The entries will be the same as the Wireless Router's local router,

with the exception of the

Gateway IP Address

.



For a router with a direct connection to the Wireless Router's local Router, the

Gateway IP Address

is the address of the Wireless Router's local router.



For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the

Wireless Router's local router, the

Gateway IP Address

is the address of the in-

termediate router.
