Operating Mode

If this

HiPort is hosting your network’s connection to the

Internet, select

Router

° If another router exists on your

network, select

Bridge

Dynamic Routing

RIP

This feature enables the

HiPort to automatically adjust to

physical changes in the network’s layout and exchange

routing tables with the other

HiPort(s)° The

HiPort

determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest

number of hops between the source and the destination°

Disabled

This option disables the dynamic routing

feature for all data transmissions°

LAN

This option enables dynamic routing for the LAN

connection°

WAN (Internet)

This option enables dynamic routing for

the WAN side°

Both

This option enables dynamic routing for the WAN

and LAN connections°

Static Routing

A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network

information must travel to reach a specific host or network°

Use this feature to set up a static route between the

HiPort

and another network (you can have up to 20 static routes)°

To create a static route, alter the following settings:

Select Set Number

Select the number of the static route

from the drop-down menu°

Delete This Entry

To delete a route, select its number

from the drop-down menu, and click this button°

Enter Route Name

Enter a name for the static route,

using a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters°

Destination LAN IP

The Destination LAN IP Address is

the address of the remote network or host to which you

want to assign a static route° Enter the IP address of the

host for which you wish to create a static route°

Subnet

Mask

The

Subnet

Mask

determines

which

portion of a Destination IP address is the network portion,

and which portion is the host portion°

Default Gateway

This is the IP address of the gateway

device that allows for contact between the

HiPort and the

remote network or host°

Interface

Select LAN or WAN (Internet), depending on

the location of the final destination°

The Applications & Gaming Tab > Port

Range Forward

Port range forwarding sets up public services on your

network, such as web servers, FTP servers, e-mail servers,

or other specialized Internet applications° (Specialized

Internet applications are any applications that use Internet

access to perform functions such as videoconferencing

or online gaming° Some Internet applications may not

require any forwarding°)

When users send these types of requests to your network

via the Internet, the

HiPort will forward those requests

to the appropriate servers (computers)° Before using

forwarding, you should assign static IP addresses to the

designated servers (use the DHCP Reservation feature on

the Basic Setup screen)°

If you need to forward all ports to one PC, click the

DMZ

tab°

The Applications & Gaming Tab > DMZ

The DMZ screen allows one local user to be exposed to

the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as

Internet gaming and videoconferencing° DMZ hosting

forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC° The

Port Range Forwarding is more secure because it only

opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ

hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the

computer to the Internet°

Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP

client function disabled and should have a new static IP

address assigned to it because its IP address may change

when using the DHCP function°
