The WAN Port Configuration screen provides an alternative to using the Wizard. It can be
accessed from the
Internet

Figure 7: WAN Port
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.
IP Address
is assigned auto-
matically
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 Wire-
less 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 IP Address

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.
PPTP
- this is mainly used in Europe. 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 IP Address
If using PPTP or Big Pond Cable, enter the IP address of your ISP's
server.
Connect
automatically
If Enabled (default), a connection will automatically be made as
required. If disabled, you need to establish the connection manually,
using the
Connect
button on the
Connection Details
screen (accessed
from the Status screen).
Disconnect
after Idle
Enable this if you wish an idle connection to be terminated.
If enabled, enter the idle time-out period (in minutes) in the field
provided. After the connection to your ISP has been idle for this time
period, the connection will be terminated.
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.

LAN Screen
Use the
LAN

LAN
screen An example screen is shown
below.
Figure 8: LAN Screen
Data - LAN Screen
IP Address
IP address for the TW100-BRV304, as seen from the local LAN. Use
the default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is
using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP
Address from within the range used by your LAN.
Subnet Mask
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the TW100-BRV304 is attached (the same value as
the PCs on that LAN segment).
DHCP Server
If Enabled, the TW100-BRV304 will allocate IP Addresses to PCs
(DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (and
recommended) value is Enabled.
If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the TW100-BRV304 as the default Gateway. See the follow-
ing section for further details.
The
Start IP Address
and
Finish IP Address
fields set the values
used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP
clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients
supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
Save
Save the data on screen.
Cancel
The "Cancel" button will discard any data you have entered and reload
the file from the TW100-BRV304.

DHCP
What DHCP Does
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
Server
allocates a valid IP address to a
DHCP
Client
(PC or device) upon request.
The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).
The DHCP Server provides the
Gateway
and
DNS
addresses to the client, as well as
allocating an IP Address.
The TW100-BRV304 can act as a
DHCP server
.
Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP
client
.
This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However, Windows
uses the term
Obtain an IP Address automatically
instead of "DHCP Client".
You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your
LAN does not have other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on
your LAN.)
Using the TW100-BRV304 's DHCP Server
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the
LAN
screen. On this screen,
you can:
Enable or Disable the TW100-BRV304 's
DHCP Server
function.
Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
Using another DHCP Server
You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP
Server, rather than the TW100-BRV304 's, the following procedure is required.
1.
Disable the DHCP Server feature in the TW100-BRV304. This setting is on the LAN
screen.
2.
Configure the DHCP Server to provide the TW100-BRV304 's IP Address as the
Default
Gateway
.
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP under Windows 95/98/ME.
See
Chapter 4 - Client Configuration
for the procedure to check these settings.
