Bridge Mode Only
If you are using your Gateway as a bridge, which makes the Gateway act like a stand-alone modem, select
Bridge Mode Only
. All NAT and routing settings are disabled in this mode.
Optional Settings (required by some ISPs)
•
Host Name and Domain Name. These fields allow you to supply a host and domain name for the Gateway.
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.
•
MTU and Size. The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) setting specifies the largest packet size permitted for
network transmission. Select
Manual
and enter the value desired in the
Size
field. It is recommended that
you leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range. By default, MTU is configured automatically.
Network Setup
•
Router IP. The values for the Gateway’s Local IP Address and Subnet Mask are shown here. In most cases,
keeping the default values will work.
•
Local IP Address. The default value is
192.168.1.1
.
•
Subnet Mask. The default value is
255.255.255.0
.
•
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP). Configure the Gateway’s Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) settings in this section.
•
DHCP Server. A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server automatically assigns an IP address to
each computer on your network for you. Unless you already have one, it is highly recommended that you
leave the Gateway enabled as a DHCP server. You can also use the Gateway in DHCP Relay mode. (This
setting is not available for all Encapsulation types.)
•
DHCP Server. If you enable the DHCP Relay mode for the
DHCP Server
setting, enter the IP address for the
DHCP relay server in the fields provided. (This setting is not available for all Encapsulation types.)
•
Starting IP Address. Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. This value
must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, because the default IP address for the Gateway is
192.168.1.1
.
•
Maximum Number of DHCP Users. Enter the maximum number of users/clients that can obtain an IP
address. The number will vary depending on the starting IP address entered.

•
Client Lease Time. The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a computer will be allowed connection to
the Gateway with its current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the computer
will be “leased” this dynamic IP address.
•
Static DNS 1-3. The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the Internet translates domain or website names
into Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS Server IP Address. You
can enter up to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Gateway will use these for quicker access to
functioning DNS servers.
•
WINS. The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) converts NetBIOS names to IP addresses. If you use a
WINS server, enter that server’s IP address here. Otherwise, leave this field blank.
•
Time Setting. Select the appropriate time zone for the Gateway’s location. If desired, check the
Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes
checkbox.

The Advanced Routing Tab
The
Advanced Routing
screen allows you to configure the NAT, dynamic routing, and static routing settings.
Advanced Routing
•
Operating Mode. In this section, you will configure the Gateway’s general routing settings.
•
NAT. NAT is a security feature that is enabled by default. It enables the Gateway to translate IP addresses
of your local area network to a different IP address for the Internet. To disable NAT, click the
Disabled
radio button.
•
Dynamic Routing. With Dynamic Routing you can enable the Gateway to automatically adjust to physical
changes in the network’s layout. Using RIP, the Gateway determines the network packets’ route based on the
fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing
information to other Gateways on the network.
•
RIP. If you have multiple routers, you may want to use the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) so the routers
can exchange routing information with each other. To use RIP, select the
Enabled
radio button. Otherwise,
keep the default,
Disabled
.
•
RIP Version. Select the protocol version you want,
RIP1
or
RIPv2
.
•
Static Routing. If the Gateway is connected to more than one network, it may be necessary to set up a static
route between them. A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to
reach a specific host or network. To create a static route, change the following settings:
•
Select set number. Select the number of the static route from the drop-down menu. The Gateway
supports up to 20 static route entries. If you need to delete a route, then select the entry and click the
Delete This Entry
button.
•
Destination IP Address. The Destination 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. If you are building a route to an entire network, be sure that the network portion of the IP address is
set to 0.
•
Subnet Mask. Enter the Subnet Mask (also known as the Network Mask), which determines which portion
of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion.
•
Gateway. Enter the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Gateway and the
remote network or host.
