[. . . ] The Host DMZ ­ Enable it and input the last digit of your current IP address and it will open up you to the WAN side. For example: 192. 168. 8. XX The XX marks the last digits Chapter 4 42 GigaFast from the IP address you're getting on that computer. If your IP address ends with 17, then put 17 in the empty box and click on `Save & Restart'. Some users might have trouble getting the router to communicate with their game console servers (i. e. PlayStation2 by Sony or Xbox by Microsoft) and if that is the case then enable DMZ and it should allow you to enter the server after save & restart. Section 7 ­ Auto 2-Way Application This section can let a user open certain service ports for software. Because there is much internet software need 2-way access right and they open many TCP/UDP ports simultaneously such as online game or audio/video conference, they always connect to an outside server with a fixed destination port. Then the server would communicate with the application in LAN by using a predefined incoming port or a specific range of incoming ports. If a user has trouble playing certain games and the games require a port to be opened, then Auto 2-Way Application is the place to enable ports for it. Chapter 4 43 GigaFast Auto 2-Way Application ­ Once enabled, put the outgoing port in the `Trigger Port' box and incoming port in the `Incoming Port'. Obtain the port numbers and enter them under this section will allow the user to join any particular server without being kicked or timed out. Please go to your software website to obtain the service port information for your software. Once a trigger is occupied, the second or later LAN PC should not use that trigger port until the first LAN PC has released it. Release means that the first PC doesn't use that trigger port for more then 5-6 minutes. By default this option is set at `Disable'. Chapter 4 44 GigaFast Section 8 ­ Dynamic DNS This option will automatically translate your domain name to your WAN IP address for others to access your page. Dynamic DNS ­ If you don't have a domain name and a host setup then others will require a Dynamic DNS to log onto your webpage. This enables others to see you on the WAN side and allows them to browse your own page. Often the server will automatically update your WAN IP address, therefore the Dynamic DNS function allow the update to be saved so others can still browse your page without the changes to be made manually. For further information please visit: www. DynDNS. org and by default this function is set at `Disable'.

Appendix A: Cabling and Pin Assignment A-1 RJ-45 There are different grades, or categories, of twisted-pair cabling. Straightthrough cables are used for connecting computers' NIC cards to a hub. Uplink mode is crossed internally, which allows you to link or connect hubs together with a straight-through cable instead. ) A-1-1 RJ-45 pin assignment There are 8 thin, color-coded wires inside, run from one end of the cable to the other. All 8 wires are used. Table 0-1 Wire 1 Wire 2 Wire 3 Wire 4 Wire 5 Wire 6 Wire 7 Wire 8 RJ-45 Color Chart White with an Orange stripe Orange White with a Green Stripe Blue White with a Blue Stripe Green White with a Brown Stripe Brown GigaFast Pin 1 *Note* To determine which wire is wire number 1, hold the cable so that the end of the plastic RJ-45 tip (the part that goes into a wall jack first) is facing away from you. Face the clip down so that the copper side faces up (the springy clip will now be facing the floor), when looking down on the copper side, wire 1 is on the far left. Connection between NIC card and Hub In a straight-through cable, wire 1, 2, 3, and 6 at one end of the cable are the same as wires 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end. [. . . ] Wide Area Network (WAN) A WAN consists of multiple LANs that are tied together via telephone services and / or fiber optic cabling. WANs may span a city, a state, a country, or even the world. Appendix F 121 GigaFast Appendix G: Warranty Info. Limited Warranty Limited Warranty Statement: Gigafast Ethernet Solutions Inc.
