¾

Connection:

For PPPoE/PPPoA connection, you can select

Always on

or

Connect

on-Demand

or

Connect Manually

. Connect on demand is dependent on the traffic. If there is

no traffic (or

Idle

) for a pre-specified period of time), the connection will tear down

automatically. And once there is traffic send or receive, the connection will be automatically

on.

¾

Static/Dynamic IP Address:

For PPPoE/PPPoA connection, you need to specify the public

IP address for this ADSL Router. The IP address can be either dynamically (via DHCP) or

given IP address provided by your ISP. For Static IP, you need to specify the IP address,

Subnet Mask and Gateway IP address.

¾

Default Route:

You should select

Yes

to configure the PVC as the default gateway to internet

from this device.

¾

MAC Spoofing:

Enable

the MAC Spoofing, and enter a MAC address to configure the WAN

port. It makes your inside network appear as a device with this MAC address to the outside

world.

4)

Bridge Mode

If you select this type of connection, the modem can be configured to act as a bridging device

between your LAN and your ISP. Bridges are devices that enable two or more networks to

communicate as if they are two segments of the same physical LAN.

Router Local IP:

These are the IP settings of the LAN interface for the device. These settings

may be referred to as Private settings. You may change the LAN IP address if needed. The

LAN IP address is private to your internal network and cannot be seen on the Internet.

•

IP Address:

Enter the Router’s local IP Address, then you can access to the Web-based

Utility via the IP Address, the default value is 192.168.1.1.

•

IP Subnet Mask:

Enter the Router’s Subnet Mask, the default value is 255.255.255.0.

•

Dynamic Route:

Select this option to specify the RIP (Routing Information protocol)

version for LAN interface, including

RIP1

,

RIP2-B

and

RIP2-M

. RIP2-B and RIP2-M are

both sent in RIP2 format, the difference is that RIP2-M using Multicast, while RIP2-B

using Broadcast format.

•

Direction:

Select this option to specify the RIP direction.

None

is for disabling the RIP

function.

Both

means the ADSL Router will periodically send routing information and

accept routing information, and then incorporate them into routing table.

IN only

means

the ADLS router will only accept but will not send RIP packet.

OUT only

means the ADLS

router will only send but will not accept RIP packet.

•

Multicast:

Select IGMP version, or disable the function. IGMP (Internet Group Multicast

Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a multicast group.

27

TD-W8901G

54Mbps Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide

The ADSL ATU-R supports both IGMP version 1 (

IGMP v1

) and

IGMP v2

. Select

“Disabled” to disable it.

•

IGMP Snoop:

Enable the IGMP Snoop function if you need.

¾

DHCP Server:

Select

Enabled

, then you will see the screen below (shown in Figure 4-12).

The Router will work as a DHCP Server; it becomes the default gateway for DHCP client

connected to it. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DHCP Server gives out

IP addresses when a device is booting up and request an IP address to be logged on to the

network. That device must be set as a DHCP client to obtain the IP address automatically. By

default, the DHCP Server is enabled. The DHCP address pool contains the range of the IP

address that will automatically be assigned to the clients on the network.

Figure 4-12

•

Starting IP Address:

Enter the starting IP address for the DHCP server's IP assignment.

Because the default IP address for the Router is 192.168.1.1, the default Start IP

Address is

192.168.1.100

, and the Start IP Address must be 192.168.1.100 or greater,

but smaller than 192.168.1.254.

•

IP Pool Count:

The max user pool size.

•

Lease Time:

The length of time for the IP lease. After the dynamic IP address has

expired, the user will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The default is

259200

seconds.

•

Physical Ports:

Specify the Physical Ports of the DHCP client.

•

DNS Relay:

If you want to disable this feature, you just need to set both Primary and

secondary DNS IP to 0.0.0.0. If you want to use DNS relay, you can setup DNS server IP

to 192.168.1.1 on their Computer. If not, the device will perform as no DNS relay.

•

Secondary DNS Server:

Type in your preferred DNS server.

•

Current Pool Summary:

Click the button, then you can view the IP addresses that the

DHCP Server gives out.

)

Note:

If

Use Auto Discovered DNS Server Only

is selected in DNS Relay, this router will accept the

first received DNS assignment from one of the PPPoA, PPPoE or MER/DHCP enabled PVC(s)

during the connection establishment. If

Use User Discovered DNS Server Only

is selected in

DNS Relay, it is necessary for you to enter the primary and optional secondary DNS server IP

addresses. After type in the address, click SAVE button to save it and invoke it.

DHCP Relay:

Select

Relay

, then you will see the next screen (shown in Figure 4-13), and the

Router will work as a DHCP Relay. A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data

between computers that request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the

addresses. Each of the device's interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. If it is enabled,

the DHCP requests from local PCs will forward to the DHCP server runs on WAN side. To

have this function working properly, please run on router mode only, disable the DHCP server

on the LAN port, and make sure the routing table has the correct routing entry.
