as the Default Router IP address, Primary or Secondary DNS IP addresses, and Primary or Secondary
Relay IP addresses.
Commonly used non-Internet routed IP address ranges include:
10.0.0.0
- 10.255.255.255

- 192.168.255.255
DHCP Configuration Options
DHCP Server:
When
Enabled
, 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.
Start IP Range:
Specifies the beginning IP address of the range of addresses from which the DHCP server will lease
to requesting DHCP clients. This value must be entered as an IPv4 address expressed in
dotted-
decimal notation
(e.g., 192.168.254.1).
End IP Range:
Specifies the beginning IP address of the range of addresses from which the DHCP server will lease
to requesting DHCP clients. This value must be entered as an IPv4 address expressed in
dotted-
decimal notation
(e.g., 192.168.254.1).
IP Netmask:
Specifies the IP subnet mask that corresponds to the range of IP addresses defined above. This value
must be entered as an IPv4 subnet mask in
dotted-decimal notation
(e.g., 255.255.255.0).
Default Router:
Specifies the IP address of a default
gateway
, or router, to be provided to DHCP clients. This value
must be entered as an IPv4 address expressed in
dotted-decimal notation
Self:
Specifies that the SpeedStream router is to be used as the default gateway.
DNS IP Address:
Specifies the IP address of the primary
Domain Name System
(DNS) server to be provided to DHCP
clients. A DNS server may be used by clients to resolve domain names to IP addresses. This value
must be entered as an IPv4 address expressed in
dotted-decimal notation
Use WAN:
Specifies that the DNS server address received from the WAN-side DHCP server is to be provided to
DHCP clients on the LAN.
Domain Name
:
Specifies the DNS
domain name
for the DHCP server resident on your SpeedStream device. This
value must be entered as an alphanumeric string. This parameter is optional.
Lease Time:
IP addresses are
leased
from the DHCP server and are valid for a specified period, the
lease time.
At
56

the end of the lease period, the DHCP client will transmit a request to the server to extend the lease, at
which time the server will extend the lease period of the IP address assigned to the client. If the lease
period expires without the server receiving a request from the client to extend the lease, the server
will assume that the client's connection no longer exists, and the server will release the IP address
assigned to the client and return the address back to the pool of available addresses.
Infinite Time:
Leaves the lease time open-ended, preventing the server from releasing the IP address.
Configure DHCP
The DHCP operating mode defaults to
Enable
, and the system auto-generates the current IP address
range, IP netmask, and default router. If you are using a static IP address, you may need to disable DHCP
and enter different addresses in the text boxes. Contact your ISP or network administrator for additional
information.
1.
Select the DHCP operating mode.
If you select
Disable
, skip to step 3.
2.
Enter the range of IP addresses (
Start IP
Range
and
End IP Range
) and the
corresponding subnet mask
(IP Netmask
)
to be managed by the DHCP server. (You
may need to contact your ISP for this
information.)
3.
To use your SpeedStream router as the
default router, select
Self
. (This is the
most common choice.)
- or-
Enter the IP address of the default router.
(You may need to contact your ISP or
network administrator for this information.)
4.
To use the DNS server provided by your ISP, select
Use WAN
. (This is the most common choice.)
- or -
To specify a WAN-side DNS server to be used by the LAN, enter the
DNS IP Address
.
5.
Enter the domain name. This information may be provided by your ISP.
6.
Enter the lease time, in minutes, to specify the amount of time that a DHCP lease should be provided
the host (requires that you specify a DNS IP address).
- or –
Select
Infinite time
to hold the lease until you go back in and change these settings.
7.
To apply the data you entered, click
Save Settings
.
A confirmation window displays.

Time Client
Setup |
Time Client
An accurate log timestamp is one of the requirements of
the ICSA Labs firewall criteria (ver. 3.0a). In
order to maintain accurate timestamps in each log message, the firewall implements a Simple Network
Time Protocol (SNTP) client. This allows the system to automatically synchronize its date and time with
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the international time standard. The system date and time are set and
corrected automatically via the designated server(s).

Static Routes
Setup |
Static Routes
Your SpeedStream DSL router directs data traffic by “learning” source and destination information, then
building a routing table. In some cases, network mappings cannot be learned because of incompatible
addressing schemes; or learned paths other than the desired source and destination may be possible. In
these situations,
Static Routes
can be configured to map these pathways, eliminating the need for the
router to learn them.
Add a Static Route
1.
On the main menu, click
Setup
, and
then click
Static Routes
.
The
Static Routes
window displays.
2.
In the
Destination
box, enter the IP
address of the destination server.
3.
In the
Netmask
box, enter the IP
netmask of the destination server.
4.
In the
Next Hop
box, enter the IP address to which the data packets will be forwarded.
5.
From the
Interface
list, select the interface that will forward the data packets.

NAT/NAPT
Setup |
NAT/NAPT
The SpeedStream router provides you with several options for using Network Address Translation (NAT)
and Network Address Port Translation (NAPT):
Use NAT and specify the destination IP address for incoming packets on the selected WAN interface.
1.
2.
Use NAPT only to handle multiple addresses based on port forwarding rules.
Enable concurrent NAT/NAPT.
Disable both NAT and NAPT and, for example, set up static routes.
Note
Depending on your configuration, NAT is sometimes enabled by default. Disable NAT only in
advanced situations where the ISP has assigned static IP addresses.
Access the NAT/NAPT Configuration Window
On the main menu, click
Setup
, and then
click
NAT/NAPT

The
NAT/NAPT Configuration
window
