Overview
10/100 16-Port VPN Router
Chapter 6: Setting up and Configuring the Router
Overview
For your convenience, use the Router’s Web-based Utility to set it up and configure it. This chapter will explain all
of the functions in this Utility.
There are eleven main tabs in the Utility: System Summary, Setup, DHCP, System Management, Port
Management, Firewall, VPN, Log, Wizard, Support, and Logout. Additional tabs will be available after you click
one of the main tabs. The tabs are described below:
System Summary Tab
The System Summary tab displays the Router’s current status and settings. This information is read-only. If you
click any underlined text, the related setup page will appear.
Setup Tab
•
Network. Enter the Internet connection and network settings on this screen.
•
Password. You can change the Router’s password on this screen. It is strongly recommended that you change
the Router's password from the default.
•
Time. On this screen, configure the Router’s time settings. You can set the time, select a time zone, enable or
disable the Daylight Savings feature, and configure the NTP (Network Time Protocol) settings.
•
DMZ Host. The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for
use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing.
•
Forwarding. Port forwarding can be used to set up public services on your network. You may use this function
to establish a web server or FTP server via an IP gateway.
•
UPnP. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) forwarding can be used to set up public services on your network.
•
One-to-One NAT. One-to-One NAT (Network Address Translation) creates a relationship that maps valid
external addresses to internal addresses hidden by NAT.
•
MAC Clone. Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address. This feature “clones” your network adapter's
MAC address onto the Router, so you don’t have to call your ISP and change the registered MAC address to the
Router's MAC address.

•
DDNS. DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) service allows you to assign a fixed domain name to a dynamic
WAN IP address. This allows you to host your own web, FTP, or other type of TCP/IP server in your LAN.
•
Advanced Routing. On this screen, you can enable the Router’s dynamic routing feature so it will
automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's layout. You can also set up static routes.
DHCP Tab

Setup. You can enable/disable the DHCP server, set up client lease time, configure the DHCP IP range, assign
static IP addresses to specific clients, assign DNS server(s) to clients, and enter the WINS server IP address.

System Management Tab
•
Multi-WAN. There are two modes provided for the Load Balance function – Intelligent Balancer (Auto Mode)
and IP Group (By Users).
•
SNMP. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a network protocol that provides network
administrators with the ability to monitor the status of the Router and receive notification of any critical
events as they occur on the network. (SNMP can only be used to monitor and configure the Router from inside
the local network.)
•
Diagnostic. The Router has two built-in tools that will help with troubleshooting network problems.
•
Factory Default. Use this screen to clear all of your configuration information and restore the Router to its
factory default settings. Only use this feature if you want to remove all of your custom configuration settings.
•
Firmware Upgrade. You can use this screen to upgrade the Router’s firmware to the latest version.
•
Restart. The recommended method of restarting the Router is to use the Restart tool available on this page.
When you use this method, the Router will send out your log file before it is reset.
•
Setting Backup. This tab allows you to make a backup file of your configuration file for the Router.
Port Management Tab
•
Port Setup. You can configure the connection settings for each port, such as priority, speed, duplex, and auto
negotiation.
