Setup Tab - Network
10/100 16-Port VPN Router
Setup Tab - Network
The
Setup
screen shows all of the Router’s basic setup functions. The Router can be used in most network setups
without changing any of the default values; however, you may need to enter additional information in order to
connect to the Internet through an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or broadband (DSL or cable) carrier.
Network
Host Name and Domain Name. Enter a host and domain name for the Router. Some ISPs require these names as
identification. You may have to check with your ISP to see if your broadband Internet service has been configured
with a host and domain name. In most cases, you can leave these fields blank.
LAN Setting
These are the Router’s Device IP Address and Subnet Mask. The default values are
192.168.1.1
for the local IP
address and
255.255.255.0
for the Subnet Mask.
WAN Setting
From the
WAN Setting
drop-down menu, select how many WAN ports you want to use. The default is
2
, and the
maximum number is 7. You can also change the number of WAN ports using the Port Setup page of the Port
Management tab. If you change the number on this screen, then the number on the
Port Setup
screen will change
accordingly. Make sure the network configuration matches the number of WAN port settings on this screen.
If you change the number of WAN ports, click the
Save Settings
button to save your change. A confirmation
message will appear. Then click the
OK
button to save the new setting.
The WAN Setting table will display the WAN port numbers in the Interface column and their respective connection
types in the Connection Type column. Click
Edit
in the Config. column to change the WAN settings of the selected
WAN port. You must save the new number of WAN ports before you can click Edit to change the settings of any
new WAN ports.
The Connection Type column will display the word “Undefined” if you changed the number of WAN ports but did
not click the Save Settings button. After you save this setting, the Connection Type column will display, “Obtain an
IP automatically.” The default Connection Type of all WAN ports is

Connection Type. There are four connection types available. They are described in more detail on the following
pages.
Config. Click
Edit
to change the selected WAN port’s WAN settings. In the
Interface
field, you will see the WAN
port number displayed. From the
WAN Connection Type
drop-down menu, choose one of the following:
Obtain an
IP automatically
,
Static IP
,
PPPoE
, or
PPTP
. Depending on which connection type you select, you will see
various settings.
Obtain an IP Automatically
If your ISP automatically assigns an IP address, select
Obtain an IP automatically
. Your ISP will assign these
values. If you check the box for
Use the Following DNS Server Addresses
, enter your DNS server IP address(es)
(you must enter at least one). Multiple DNS server IP settings are common. In most cases, the first available DNS
entry is used. Most cable modem subscribers use this connection type.
Static IP
If you are required to use a permanent IP address, select
Static
IP
. Then enter your settings in the
WAN IP
Address
,
Subnet Mask
,
Default Gateway Address
, and
DNS Server
fields (at least one DNS Server IP address is
required). Check your service installation receipt for this information; otherwise, request these settings from
your ISP.
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)
Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to establish Internet connections for
end-users. If you use a DSL line, check with your ISP to see if they use PPPoE. If they do, you will have to enable
it. To enable PPPoE, follow these instructions:
1.
Select
PPPoE
.
2.
Enter your User Name and Password. The maximum number of characters is 60.
3.
If you select the
Connect on Demand
option, the PPPoE connection will be disconnected after a specified
period of inactivity (Max Idle Time). If you have been disconnected due to inactivity, Connect on Demand
enables the Router to automatically re-establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access the
Internet again. Enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet access
disconnects. The default is
5
minutes.
If you select the
Keep Alive
option, the Router will keep the connection alive by sending out a few data
packets periodically, so your ISP thinks that the connection is still active. This option keeps your
PPPoE-enabled connection active indefinitely, even when it sits idle. The default Redial Period is 30 seconds.

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)
Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a service that applies to connections in Europe and Israel only.
1.
Enter your settings in the
WAN IP Address
,
Subnet Mask
, and
Default Gateway Address
fields. This
information is provided by your ISP.
2.
Enter your User Name and Password. The maximum number of characters is 60.
3.
If you select the
Connect on Demand
option, the PPPoE connection will be disconnected after a specified
period of inactivity (Max Idle Time). If you have been disconnected due to inactivity, Connect on Demand
enables the Router to automatically re-establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access the
Internet again. Enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet access
disconnects. The default is
5
minutes.
If you select the
Keep Alive
option, the Router will keep the connection alive by sending out a few data
packets periodically, so your Internet service thinks that the connection is still active. This option keeps your
PPPoE-enabled connection active indefinitely, even when it sits idle. The default Redial Period is 30 seconds.
DMZ Setting
The Router comes with a special DMZ port, which is used for setting up public servers. The DMZ port sits
between the local network ports and the Internet port. Servers on the DMZ are publicly accessible. Use of the
DMZ port is optional; it may be left unconnected.
Using the DMZ is preferred and is, if practical, a strongly recommended alternative to using public LAN servers or
putting these servers on WAN ports where they are not protected and not accessible by users on the LAN.
Each of the servers on the DMZ will need a unique, public Internet IP address. The ISP you use to connect your
network to the Internet should be able to provide these addresses, as well as information on setting up public
Internet servers. If you plan to use the DMZ setting, contact your ISP for the static IP information.
Click
Edit
in the Config. column to edit the DMZ setting. The
Edit DMZ Connection
screen will appear.
In the
Interface
field, the DMZ port is displayed. Enter the DMZ port’s settings in the
Specify DMZ IP Address
and
Subnet Mask
fields.
Click the
Save Settings
button to save your changes, or click the
Cancel Changes
button to undo your changes.
