Chapter 6

Configuring ISP Connection Settings

This chapter describes how to set advanced ISP configuration settings. The options in this section should

only be configured with the help and guidance of your ISP. Incorrect changes to any of these options

could result in the failure of your Internet connection.

The ISP connection options are listed below.

WAN Interface

Wizard for configuring the WAN Interface. The information requested by the Wizard

should be supplied by the service provider.

Host

Configure the basic networking attributes of the Router (the host).

DHCP

Configure and control Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and DNS

functionality.

Static Routes

Add and monitor static IP routes assigned by your ISP. The routing functionality of the

Router supports both Dynamic Routing and Static Routing. Static routing pertains to

those routes between network-connected hosts that do not change over time.

RFC2684

Configure WAN-side DHCP functionality for RFC2684 based connections.

WAN Interface

Connectivity to the Wide Area Network (WAN) is achieved by means of one or more Virtual Circuits (VC).

Virtual Circuits are configured using the WAN Interface Configuration Wizard. The information requested

by the Wizard should be supplied by the service provider

Configuring Network Settings

Host

Host configuration attributes identify the Router on the network and, optionally, specify a default

“gateway” to the Wide Area Network (WAN). Default values for many host IP address, netmask, default

router and host name are automatically generated for the SpeedStream Router and should not be

changed unless directed by your ISP. The ISP may ask you to change this information if, for example,

you are assigned a static IP address.

To specify host configuration settings:

1. Select

Setup>Host

from the left navigation pane of the Web interface. This displays the “Host

Configuration” window.

2.

Change settings as specified by your ISP.

3. Click

Save Settings

. This displays a confirmation screen displays notification that the new setting will

not take affect until you reboot the router. You may do so at this point or later.

Configuring Network Settings

DHCP

DHCP, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, describes the means by which a system can connect to

a network and obtain the necessary information for communication upon that network. Do not change the

default DHCP Configuration settings unless directed by your ISP.

Note

: All addresses must be entered as an Ipv4 subnet mask in dotted-decimal notation (for example,

255.255.255.0).

To configure the DHCP feature:

1. Select

Setup>DHCP

from the left navigation pane of the Web interface. This displays the “DHCP

Configuration” window.

2.

Select one of the following:

•

Enable

The Router will operate as a DHCP server to handle DHCP requests received from connected

LAN-side hosts (DHCP clients). The DHCP server does not serve WAN-side DHCP clients.

The DHCP operating mode defaults to

Enable

, and the system auto-generates the current IP

address range, IP netmask, and default router. Do not change these default settings unless

directed by your ISP.

•

Disable

Disables DHCP. If you are using a static IP address, you may need to disable DHCP and enter

different addresses in the text boxes.

•

DHCP Relay

Instead of getting an IP address from the Router, the IP address is gotten from the computer as

defined in

Relay IP

. Used when DHCP information is received from a DHCP server on the WAN

side. DHCP requests are forwarded to the WAN side to

Relay IP

, and DHCP responses are

forwarded back to the LAN side.

3. In

Start IP Range

, enter the beginning IP address of the range of addresses from which the DHCP

server will lease to requesting DHCP clients.
