Setup Tab - Network
The Setup screen contains all of the Router’s basic setup functions. These functions can be set from this screen
but normally don’t need to be adjusted, as the Router has been designed to be used in most network settings
without changing any of the default values. Some users, however, 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: Some ISPs may require a Host Name and Domain Name for identification, and can
provide them to you. In most cases, though, 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, select between a Dual-WAN or DMZ Setting. The Dual-WAN Setting
will allow you to connect two Broadband connections to the Router at once, specifying between using one as a
Primary connection, with Smart Link Backup, and using both connections in concert, with Load Balance. These
settings can be found on the Dual-Wan screen of the Systems Management Tab. The DMZ setting allows one
network PC to be exposed to the Internet to use special-purpose services such as Internet gaming or video
conferencing.
There are two different DMZ types: Subnet and Range. If you choose Subnet, enter the IP Address and Subnet
Mask of the PC connected to the DMZ port; this DMZ must have a Static IP address. If Range is selected, the DMZ
port and the WAN port will be in the same subnet. Enter the IP Range for the DMZ port.
WAN Connection Type
Obtain an IP Automatically
If your ISP automatically assigns an IP Address, select
Obtain an IP automatically
. If you check the box for
Use
the Following DNS Server Addresses
, enter a specific DNS Server IP Address. Multiple DNS IP Settings are
common. In most cases, the first available DNS entry is used.

Static IP
If you have to specify the WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Address, and DNS Server, select
Static
IP
. All of this information can be obtained from your ISP.
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) (most DSL users)
Your ISP will let you know whether PPPoE should be enabled or not, which will be determined by if they use this
protocol. To enable PPPoE:
1.
Enter the User Name and Password you use to access your ISP account.
2.
By selecting the
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.
By selecting the
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)
1.
Enter the WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway Address provided by your ISP.
2.
Enter the User Name and Password you use to access your ISP account.
3.
By selecting the
Connect on Demand
option, the connection will be disconnected if it has been idle for a
period longer than the Max Idle Time setting.
By selecting the
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.

Transparent Bridge
Transparent Bridging is used when you have two large networks that you wish to bridge together. Your network
administrator should fill in the information for both network segments, including the range of IP addresses each
network includes. When this is selected, the WAN and LAN must be in the same subnect and only one WAN port
can be set in Transparent Bridge mode.
Heart Beat Signal
Heart Beat Signal is a service used in Australia only. If you are using a Heart Beat Signal connection, check with
your ISP for the necessary setup information.
