External Port No.

The port number used by Internet users when connecting to the

Server. This is normally the same as the Internal Port Number. If it

is different, this device will perform a "mapping" or "translation"

function, allowing the server to use one port address, while clients

use a different port address.

Buttons

This will delete any Servers you have defined, and set the pre-

defined Servers to use their default port numbers.

From the Internet, ALL Virtual Servers have the IP

Address allocated by your ISP.

Connecting to the Virtual Servers

Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use

the Internet IP Address (the IP Address allocated to you by your ISP).

e.g.

http://203.70.212.52

ftp://203.70.212.52

It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic.

However, you can use the

Dynamic DNS

feature, described in the following section, to allow

users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.

WAN Port Configuration

The

WAN Port

option is on the

Advanced

menu.

Identification

Hostname

Normally, there is no need to change the default name, but if your

ISP requests that you use a particular Hostname, enter it here.

Domain Name

If your ISP provided a domain name, enter it here. Otherwise, this

may be left blank.

WAN Port MAC

Address

Also called

Network Adapter Address

or

Physical Address

. This is a

low-level identifier, as seen from the WAN port.

Normally there is no need to change this, but some ISPs require a

particular value, often that of the PC initially used for Internet access.

You can use the

Copy from PC

button to copy your PC's address into

this field, the

Default

button to insert the default value, or enter a

value directly.

IP Address

Automatic

Also called Dynamic IP Address. This is the default, and the most

common.

Leave this selected if your ISP allocates an IP Address to the Broad-

band Router upon connection.

Specified IP

Address

Also called Static IP Address. Select this if your ISP has allocated

you a fixed IP Address. If this option is selected, the following data

must be entered.

•

IP Address

The IP Address allocated by the ISP.

•

Network Mask (Not required for PPPoE)

This is also supplied by your ISP. It must be compatible with the

IP Address above.

•

Gateway IP Address (Not required for PPPoE)

The address of the router or gateway, as supplied by your ISP.

DNS

Automatically

obtain from Serve

The DNS (Domain Name Server) address will be obtained automati-

cally from your ISP's server.

Note that if using a fixed IP address, with no login (login is set to

"None"), then no Server is used, so this option cannot be used.

Use this DNS

If this option is selected, you must enter the IP address of the DNS

(Domain Name Server) you wish to use.

Note: If the DNS is unavailable, the "Backup DNS", entered on the

"Options" screen, will be used

Login

Login Method

If your ISP does not use a login method (username, password) for

Internet access, leave this at the default value

None (Direct connec-

tion)

. Otherwise, check the documentation from your ISP, select the

login method used, and enter the required data.

•

PPPoE

- this is the most common login method, widely used

with DSL modems. Normally, your ISP will have provided some

software to connect and login. This software is no longer re-

quired, and should not be used.

•

PPPoE (Unnumbered IP)

- this can only be used if your ISP

supports this system, and has allocated you multiple IP ad-

dresses. If selected, you must also select "Specified IP Address"

above and enter one of the IP addresses allocated to you by your

ISP.

•

PPTP

- this is mainly used in Europe. You need to know the

PPTP Server address as well as your name and password.

•

L2TP

- this is not widely used. You need to know the PPTP

Server address as well as your name and password.

•

Big Pond Cable

- for Australia only.

•

SingTel RAS

- for Singapore only.

Login User Name

The User Name (or account name) provided by your ISP.

Login Password

Enter the password for the login name above.

RAS Plan

For SingTel customers only, select the RAS plan you are on.

Server Address

This is not required for PPPoE or SingTel RAS.

For PPTP, L2TP and BPA, enter the Server address as provided by

your ISP.
