[. . . ] You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool. DHCP ServerEnding IP AddressLease Time- Select Enabled or Disabled. The default setting is Enabled. Starting IP Address-The starting IP address for the DHCP server's IP assignment. The ending IP address for the DHCP server's IP assignment. The default setting is one hour. Static DHCP is used to allow the DHCP server to assign some Static IP addresses via specific MAC addresses. Enter the MAC address of the computer that will be assigned the Static DHCP IP address. To copy the MAC address into the MAC address section above, simply select the client from the pull-down list and click the Clone button. 40 Using the Configuration Utility in Router Mode (continued) Advanced > Virtual Server The DWL-G730AP can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network). The DWL-G730AP firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DWL-G730AP are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the DWL-G730AP redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. The DWL-G730AP is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a different port on the server computer. Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service. 41 Using the Configuration Utility in Router Mode (continued) Advanced > Virtual Server (continued) Virtual ServerNamePrivate IPProtocol TypePrivate PortPublic PortSelect Enabled or Disabled. The server computer in the LAN (Local Area Network) that will be providing the virtual services. The port number of the service used by the Private IP computer. The port number on the WAN (Wide Area Network) side that will be used to access the virtual service. The schedule may be set to Always, which will allow the particular service to always be enabled. If it is set to From, select the time frame for the service to be enabled. If the system time is outside of the scheduled time, the service will be disabled. If you have a Web server that you wanted Internet users to access at all times, you would need to enable it. Web (HTTP) server is on LAN (Local Area Network) computer 192. 168. 0. 25.

This is an example of port redirection and can be useful in cases where there are many of the same servers on the LAN network. 43 Using the Configuration Utility in Router Mode (continued) Advanced > Applications Some applications such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections. These applications save difficulties working through NAT (Network Address Translation). [. . . ] Expedited shipping is available if shipping charges are prepaid by the customer and upon request.
