The Setup Tab
Wireless-G ADSL Gateway with 2 Phone Ports
DNS Proxy
If the PCs on your network are enabled with DNS, enable the DNS Proxy to foward the DNS entries.
Optional Settings
Some of these settings may be required by your ISP. Verify with your ISP before making any changes.
Host Name/Domain Name
. These fields allow you to supply a host and domain name for the Router. Some ISPs,
usually cable 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, leaving these
fields blank will work.
MTU
. MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for Internet
transmission. The default setting,
Manual
, allows you to enter the largest packet size that will be transmitted.
The recommended size, entered in the
Size
field, is 1492. You should leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range.
To have the Router select the best MTU for your Internet connection, select
Auto
.
Network Setup
The Network Setup section changes the settings on the network connected to the Router’s Ethernet ports.
Wireless Setup is performed through the Wireless tab.
Router IP
This presents both the Router’s IP Address and Subnet Mask as seen by your network.
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
The settings allow you to configure the Router’s Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server function. The
Router can be used as a DHCP server for your network. A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to
each computer on your network. If you choose to enable the Router’s DHCP server option, you must configure all
of your network PCs to connect to a DHCP server (the Router), and make sure there is no other DHCP server on
your network.
Local 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, you should leave the Gateway enabled as a
DHCP server.
DHCP Relay Server
. If you have a local DHCP server that you would like to use instead, enable the DHCP Relay
mode for the Local DHCP Server setting and enter the IP address of the DHCP server.

The Setup Tab
Wireless-G ADSL Gateway with 2 Phone Ports
AutoDetect LAN DHCP Server
. If you want the Gateway to automatically detect a DHCP server on the local
network, then select the
Enable
radio button. (When this feature is enabled, the
DHCP Relay
radio button for the
Local DHCP Server
setting will be unavailable.) Otherwise, keep the default,
Disable
.
Starting IP Address
. Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses.
Because the
Router’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the Starting IP Address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller
than 192.168.1.253. The default Starting IP Address is
192.168.1.100
.
Maximum Number of DHCP Users
. Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign
IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253. The default is 50.
Client Lease Time
. The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the
Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased”
this dynamic IP address. After the time is up, the user will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address.
The default is 0 minutes, which means one day.
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. If you wish to use
another, type that IP Address in one of these fields. You can type up to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The
Router will use these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers.
WINS
. The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages each PC’s interaction with the Internet. If you use
a WINS server, enter that server’s IP Address here. Otherwise, leave this blank.
Time Setting
Change the time zone in which your network functions from this pull-down menu. (You can even automatically
adjust for daylight savings time.)
When finished making your changes on this tab, click the
Save Settings
button to save these changes, or click
the
Cancel Changes
button to undo your changes.

The DDNS Tab
The Gateway offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and
domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or
other server behind the Gateway.
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service at DynDNS.org or TZO.com.
DDNS
DDNS Service
. Select your DDNS service, either DynDNS.org or TZO.com, from the drop-down menu. To disable
DDNS Service, select
Disabled
.
DynDNS.org
. Enter the User Name, Password, and Host Name of the account you set up with DynDNS.org in the
spaces provided. The Gateway’s current Internet IP Address and DDNS service connection status will be
displayed beneath.
TZO.com
. Enter the Email Address, TZO Password Key, and Domain Name of the service you set up with TZO. The
Gateway’s current Internet IP Address and DDNS service connection status will be displayed beneath.
When finished making your changes on this tab, click the
Save Settings
button to save these changes, or click
the
Cancel Changes
button to undo your changes.

Advanced Routing Tab
The Advanced Routing screen allows you to configure the dynamic routing and static routing settings.
Advanced Routing
Operating Mode
. 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/RIP
. With Dynamic Routing you can enable the Gateway to automatically adjust to physical
changes in the network’s layout. The Gateway, using the RIP protocol, 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. To enable RIP, click
Enabled
. To disable RIP,
click
Disabled
.
•
Transmit RIP Version. To transmit RIP messages, select the protocol you want:
RIP1, RIP1-Compatible,
or RIP2
. If you don’t want to transmit RIP messages, select
Disable
.
•
Receive RIP Version. To receive RIP messages, select the protocol you want:
RIP1
or
RIP2
. If you don’t
want to receive RIP messages, select
Disable
.
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, after selecting the entry, 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, set the network portion of the IP address to 0.
•
Subnet Mask. The Subnet Mask (also known as the Network Mask) determines which portion of an IP
address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion.
•
Gateway. This IP address should be the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between
the Gateway and the remote network or host.
