Logs
Click on the
Logs
link in the navigation menu. The router automatically logs
(records) events of possible interest in its internal memory. If there is not enough
internal memory for all events, logs of older events are deleted, but logs of the
latest events are retained. The Logs option allows you to view the router logs.
You can define what types of events you want to view and the level of events to
view. This router also has external Syslog Server support so you can send the log
files to a computer on your network that is running a Syslog utility.
-
What to View
: Select the features of which you would like to view the

connection.
o
EST: Established -- the connection is passing data.
o
FW
: FIN Wait -- The client system has requested that the connection
be stopped.
o
CW
: Close Wait -- the server system has requested that the
connection be stopped.
o
TW
: Time Wait -- Waiting for a short time while a connection that was
in FIN Wait is fully closed.
o
LA
: Last ACK -- Waiting for a short time while a connection that was in
Close Wait is fully closed.
o
CL
: Closed -- The connection is no longer active but the session is
being tracked in case there are any retransmitted packets still

5.2 BASIC
Network
This device can be configured as a
Router
or a
Bridge
. Select Router mode if
the WAN port is connected to the Internet. Select Bridge if the device is
connected to a local network downstream from another router.
Bridge Mode
In this mode, the device functions as a bridge between the network on its WAN
port and the devices on its LAN port and those connected to it wirelessly. Select
the
Bridge Mode
radio button.
°
WAN Port Mode
: Select the
Bridge Mode
radio button.
°
Router IP Address
: Specify the IP address of this device.
°
Subnet Mask
: Specify the subnet mask for the IP address.
°
Default Gateway
: Specify the IP address of the upstream router.
°
Primary/Secondary DNS
: Specify the IP address of the DNS server.
Click on the
Apply
button to store these settings.

Router Mode
In this mode, the device functions as a NAT router and is connected to the
Internet. Select the
Router Mode
radio button.
°
WAN Port Mode
: Select the
Router Mode
radio button.
°
Router IP Address
: Specify the IP address of this device.
°
Subnet Mask
: Specify the subnet mask for the IP address.
°
Local Domain Name
: This entry is optional. Enter a domain name for the
local network. LAN computers will assume this domain name when they get
an address from the router's built in DHCP server. So, for example, if you
enter mynetwork.net here, and you have a LAN side laptop with a name of
mark, that laptop will be known as mark.mynetwork.net. Note, however, the
entered domain name can be overridden by the one obtained from the
router's upstream DHCP server.
°
Enable DNS Relay
: Place a check in this box to enable the DNS relay
feature. When DNS Relay is enabled, the router plays the role of a DNS
server. DNS requests sent to the router are forwarded to the ISP's DNS
server. This provides a constant DNS address that LAN computers can use,
even when the router obtains a different DNS server address from the ISP
upon re-establishing the WAN connection. You should disable DNS relay if you
implement a LAN-side DNS server as a virtual server.
