[. . . ] (See chapter 1 "PPPoE" for more detail) 2. 2. 3 PPTP Select PPTP if your ISP requires the PPTP protocol to connect you to the Internet. (See chapter 1 "PPTP" for more detail) 2. 2. 4 Static IP Address Select Static IP address if your ISP has given you a specific IP address for you to use. (See chapter 1 "Fixed IP" for more detail) 32 2. 2. 5 Bridge The bridge mode screen allows you to set your Broadband router to bridge mode and allows you to assign an IP address for management purposes. When the bridge mode is selected, the router in effect becomes a switch, transferring packets from the WAN port to the LAN port and vice versa without any NAT involvement. In bridge mode, the original WAN MAC is ignored, and the original LAN MAC address will be used as the MAC address. These values will be restored when you set the device to operating modes other than the bridge mode. Parameters IP address Description Enter an IP Address for the Bridge Mode. This IP address allows you to access the web-based management should you decide to switch back to the router mode. The Subnet Mask for the Bridge Mode management Subnet Mask Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings in place) 33 Example: Bridge Mode The diagram below demonstrates how the Bridge mode can be used. The router basically becomes a hub/switch allowing you to connect LAN clients to your Local Area Network. 34 2. 2. 6 DNS A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, such as www. router. com, a DNS server will find that name in its index and the matching IP address. If your Service Provider connects you to the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS server IP address is provided automatically. However, if there is a DNS server that you would rather use, you need to specify the IP address of that DNS server here. Parameters Domain Name Server (DNS) Server Description This is the ISP's DNS server IP address that they gave you; or you can specify your own preferred DNS server IP address This is optional. The secondary DNS will be used should the above DNS fail. Secondary DNS Address (optional) Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings in place) 35 2. 2. 7 DDNS DDNS allows you to map the static domain name to a dynamic IP address. You must get an account, password and your static domain name from the DDNS service providers. This router supports DynDNS and TZO. Parameters Enable/Disable Provider Domain name Account/E -mail Password/Key Default Disable Description Enable/Disable the DDNS function of this router Select a DDNS service provider Your static domain name that use DDNS The account that your DDNS service provider assigned to you The password you set for the DDNS service account above DynDNS Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings in place) 36 2. 3 LAN The LAN allows you to setup the LAN Interface IP, DHCP Server parameters, UPnP and Print Server. 37 2. 3. 1 Interface The LAN Port screen below allows you to specify a private IP address for your router's LAN ports as well as a subnet mask for your LAN segment. Parameters LAN IP IP address IP Subnet Mask DHCP Server Default Description 192. 168. 2. 1 This is the router's LAN port IP address (Your LAN clients default gateway IP address) Specify a Subnet Mask for your LAN segment You can enable or disable the DHCP server. By enabling the DHCP server the router will automatically give your LAN clients an IP address. If the DHCP is not enabled then you'll have to manually set your LAN client' IP s 255. 255. 255. 0 Enabled 38 addresses; make sure the LAN Client is in the same subnet as this broadband router if you want the router to be your LAN client' default s gateway IP Address Pool You can select a particular IP address range for your DHCP server to issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients. Note: By default the IP range is from: Start IP 192. 168. 2. 100 to End IP 192. 168. 2. 199. If you want your PC to have a static/fixed IP address then you'll have to choose an IP address outside this IP address Pool Domain Name Lease Time You can specify a Domain Name for your LAN The DHCP when enabled will temporarily give your LAN clients an IP address. [. . . ] For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form, 11011001. 10110000. 10010000. 00000111, and if its network mask is, 11111111. 11111111. 11110000. 00000000 It means the device's network address is 11011001. 10110000. 10010000. 00000000, and its host ID is, 00000000. 00000000. 00000000. 00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method for routers to route IP packets to their destination. 84 ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations. [. . . ]
