System Time

The NF2 router time can be synchronised either to a local PC or using NTP (Network Time Protocol) settings to a standard global

internet time. These settings will affect functions such as System Log statistics, scheduling and Firewall settings

Figure 42: Advanced - Advanced Settings -System Time

OPTION

DEFINITION

Time Zone

Select the GMT offset for your location.

Auto-Synchronization

Select an NTP (Network Time Protocol) time server to synchronise to the global internet time with.

Sync with Time Server

Select this button to initiate the router time synchronisation to the specified network time server above.

Sync with my PC

Select this button to initiate the router time synchronization to the computer you are currently logged into the

router with.

Table 28: Advanced - Advanced Settings - System Time

Scheduling

The NF2 has built in scheduling, allowing the router to be switched on or off. This offers a means of parental control. To create a

schedule, ensure the enable Schedule option is selected and press the Add New button.

IPv6

The NF2 router can be configured to use IPV6 routing configuration.

Figure 45: Advanced - Advanced Settings - IPV6

OPTION

DEFINITION

IPv6

The option to enable or disable IPv6.

IPv6 Connection

Select the type of IPv6 for the router to use. Options include :



Dynamic DHCPv6 - an IPv6 address is assigned by the router automatically,



Static IPv6 - a static IPv6 address assigned by an Internet Service Provider can be assigned

to the router.



PPPoE

–

for using an IPv6 address over PPPoE.



6 to 4

–

This option converts an IPv6 address to an IP v4 address.



IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel

–

This option uses an IPv6 address through an IPv4 tunnel.

DNS Setting

Select Obtain a DNS Server address automatically assigned by the router or assign your own static Primary

and Secondary DNS addresses.

LAN IPv6 Address

Enter the local IPv6 address in this field.

Auto-configuration

Select to enable auto configuration of the IPv6 address.

Auto-configuration Type

Select either Stateless or Stateful IPv6 auto configuration. Stateless Address Auto configuration (or SLAAC) can

be used by devices connecting to a routed network using

Internet Control Message Protocol version 6

(ICMPv6) router discovery messages

.

This is generally streamlined and simplified compared to Stateful Auto-

configuration. Stateful IPv6 also known as DHCPv6 uses a dedicated configuration mechanism that is more

comprehensive than Stateless Auto configuration catering to all the information needs in the form of required

parameters to the network devices

Router Advertisement lifetime

When a computer host first connects to the NF2 router using IPv6 it sends a link-local router solicitation

multicast request for its configuration parameters. If the NF2 router is configured correctly it will respond with a

router advertisement packet that contains network-layer configuration parameters. The Router advertisement

lifetime is the amount of time that the router advertisement is broadcast as a multicast after receiving the

request.

TR-069

The TR-069 (technical report 069) protocol uses a SOAP/HTTP protocol to provide communications between Customer-Premises

Equipment (CPE) and an Auto-Configuration Server (ACS) for the purpose of automated configuration of the CPE devices.

Figure 46: Advanced - Advanced Settings - TR-069

OPTION

DEFINITION

TR-069

Select the enable option to enable the TR-069 protocol on the NF2.

ACS URL

Enter the URL of the Auto-Configuration Server in this field.

ACS UserName

Enter the user name of the Auto-Configuration Server here.

ACS Password

Enter the password of the Auto-Configuration Server here.

Connection Request Port

Enter the port number to be used by a CPE in sending an Inform message to the ACS server to initialise a

connection.

Connection Request

UserName

Enter the Connection Request username to be used by each of the CPE devices to authenticate with the ACS

server.

Connection Request Password

Enter the Connection Request password to be used by each of the CPE devices to authenticate with the ACS

server.

Inform

Set the Inform to enable or disable to accept or deny an inform message from a CPE device to the ACS server.

Interval

Enter the interval in seconds between Inform messages being sent to the ACS server.
