Chapter 6: Set Up and Configure the Router
Setup Tab - Network
10/100 4-Port VPN Router
Setup Tab - Network
The Setup screen contains all of the router’s basic setup functions. See Figure 6-5. The device can be used in
most network settings without changing any of the default values. Some users may need to enter additional
information in order to connect to the Internet through an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or broadband (DSL, cable
modem) carrier.
Network
Host Name & Domain Name: Enter a host and domain name for the Router. Some ISPs may require these names
as identification, and these settings can be obtained from your ISP. In most cases, leaving these fields blank will
work.
LAN Setting
This is the Router’s LAN IP Address and Subnet Mask. The default value is 192.168.1.1 for IP address and
255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask.
Dual-WAN / DMZ Setting
Before choosing the WAN Connection Type, please choose the Dual-WAN / DMZ Setting first.
DMZ
In order to allow such services, 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, but they are protected from attacks such as SYN Flooding and Ping of Death. Use of the DMZ port is
optional; it may be left unconnected.
Using the DMZ is preferred and, if practical, a strongly recommended alternative to Public LAN Servers or putting
these servers on the WAN port 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 used to connect the
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 Mode, contact your ISP for the Static IP information.
Specify DMZ IP Address: Enter the DMZ IP Address and Subnet Mask.
Click the
Save Settings
button to save the network settings or click the
Cancel Changes
button to undo your

Setup Tab - Network
10/100 4-Port VPN Router
WAN Connection Type
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 a specific DNS Server IP.
Multiple DNS IP Settings are common. In most cases, the first available DNS entry is used. See Figure 6-6.
Static IP
If you have to specify the WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Address, and DNS Server, select
Static
IP
. You must obtain this information from your ISP. See Figure 6-7.
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) (most DSL users)
See Figure 6-8.
You have to check with your ISP to make sure whether PPPoE should be enabled or not. If they do use PPPoE:
1.
Enter your User Name and Password.
2.
If you select
Connect on Demand
option, the PPPoE connection will be disconnected if it has been idle for a
period longer than the Max Idle Time setting.
3.
If you select
Keep Alive
option, the Router will keep the connection alive by sending out a few data packets
at the Redial Period, so your Internet service thinks that the connection is still active.
PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)
See Figure 6-9.
1.
Enter the Specify WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway Address that is provided by your ISP.
2.
Enter your User Name and Password.
3.
If you select
Connect on Demand
option, the connection will be disconnected if it has been idle for a period
longer than the Max Idle Time setting.
4.
If you select
Keep Alive
option, the Router will keep the connection alive by sending out a few data packets
at the Redial Period, so your Internet service thinks that the connection is still active.

Chapter 6: Set Up and Configure the Router
Setup Tab - Password
10/100 4-Port VPN Router
Setup Tab - Password
The Router's default User Name and password is
admin
, and it is strongly recommended that you change the
Router's password from the default. If you leave the password field blank, all users on your network will be able
to access the Router simply by entering
admin
into the password field. See Figure 6-10.
Old Password: Enter the old password. The default Password is ‘admin’ when you first power up the Router.
(Note: The password cannot be recovered if it is lost or forgotten. If the password is lost or forgotten, you have to
reset the Router to its factory default settings.)
New Password: Enter a new password for the Router. Your password must be less than 15 characters long and it
can’t contain any spaces.
Confirm New Password: Re-enter the password for confirmation.
Click the
Save Settings
button to save the Password settings or click the
Cancel Changes
button to undo the
changes.
Setup Tab - Time
Time
The Router uses the time settings to time stamp log events, to automatically update the Content Filter List, and
for other internal purposes. See Figure 6-11.
Set the local time using Network Time Protocol (NTP) automatically or manually.
Automatic: Select the Time Zone and enter the Daylight Saving and NTP Server. The default Time Zone is Pacific
Time.
Manual: Enter the Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Month, Day and Year.
Click the
Save Settings
button to save the Time settings or click the
Cancel Changes
button to undo the
changes.

Chapter 6: Set Up and Configure the Router
Setup Tab - DMZ Host
10/100 4-Port VPN Router
Setup Tab - DMZ Host
The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet to use a
special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing. See Figure 6-12.
Enter the
DMZ Private IP Address
to access the DMZ Host settings. The Default value zero (0) will deactivate the
DMZ Host.
Click the
Save Settings
button to save the DMZ Host setting or click the
Cancel Changes
button to undo the
changes.
Setup Tab - Forwarding
Port forwarding can be used to set up public services on your network. When users from the Internet make
certain requests on your network, the Router can forward those requests to computers equipped to handle the
requests. If, for example, you set the port number 80 (HTTP) to be forwarded to IP Address 192.168.1.2, then all
HTTP requests from outside users will be forwarded to 192.168.1.2. See Figure 6-13.
You may use this function to establish a Web server or FTP server via an IP Gateway. Be sure that you enter a valid
IP Address. (You may need to establish a static IP address in order to properly run an Internet server.) For added
security, Internet users will be able to communicate with the server, but they will not actually be connected. The
packets will simply be forwarded through the Router.
Port Range Forwarding
1.
Select the Service from the pull-down menu. See Figure 6-14.
2.
If the Service you need is not listed in the menu, please click the
Service Management
button to add the
new Service Name, and enter the Protocol and Port Range. Click the
Add to List
button. Then, click the
Save
Setting
button. Click the
Exit
button.
3.
Enter the IP Address of the server that you want the Internet users to access. Then enable the entry.
4.
Click the
Add to List
button, and configure as many entries as you would like. You also can
Delete selected
application
.
