Primary DNS: Your ISP will provide at least one Domain Name System (DNS) IP address.
3.4 LAN This menu — with its two submenu screens: LAN Settings and DHCP Client List — presents options for configuring your local area network. 3.4.1 LAN Settings IP Address: This is the router’s LAN port IP address (your LAN clients’ default gateway IP address), shown with the default value. Subnet Mask: Specify a subnet mask for your LAN segment. DHCP Server: Select to enable/disable the DHCP server. By enabling, the router will automatically give your LAN clients an IP address.
which the connected client computers are instructed to request a new IP address from the router. DNS Proxy: When activated, the router acts as a DNS server in your network, which means that the computer sends the DNS request to the router, which in turn queries the ISP’s DNS server. Since the router is caching the results, subsequent requests to the same domain name benefit from a performance gain.
3.5 NAT The network address translation (NAT) menu presents options that make it possible to open ports, create a DMZ and perform other functions. 3.5.1 Virtual Server Some games, servers and applications don’t work in conjunction with NAT unless a virtual server is established to provide WAN-to-LAN port mapping. Enabled: Select to enable/disable the function. Private IP: This is the address of the internal host for which you want to open a port. Private Port: Enter an internal port number.
3.5.2 Port Triggering The port trigger module dynamically registers virtual server rules when any IP host generates the packet from the specified trigger protocol and port. The port trigger module uses a forward protocol type and port number, and uses the IP address of the host that generates the trigger packet when it registers a rule. Enabled: Select to enable/disable the function. Trigger Port: Enter a range of ports. Trigger Type: Select either “TCP” or “UDP” from the drop-down menu.
network, such as Web servers, FTP servers, e-mail servers and other specialized Internet applications (for example, videoconferencing or online gaming). When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the router will forward the request to the appropriate PC. Enabled: Select to enable/disable the function. Comment: Enter any description of the current mapping rules. Server IP: Enter the server IP address.
from being established. You should leave this in the 0-65535 range. NetMeeting / H323/Netmeeting Passthrough: To accept the connection request from any outside NetMeeting client, the virtual server for H323/Netmeeting (Port 1720) must be enabled. 3.5.5 DMZ Enabled: Select to enable/disable the function. Public IP Address: Make a selection from the drop-down menu.
time to one PC. The Port Forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to be opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of a computer, exposing the computer so the Internet can see it. • Super Demilitarized Zone, or SDMZ, is similar to DMZ except that the local user (DMZ host) uses the public IP address of your Internet service instead of a private IP address.
3.6 Firewall This series of submenu options lets you establish a variety of network usage and access limits for better control and security. 3.6.1 Firewall Options Enabled: Select to enable/disable the items selected or the limits established in the Options table. 3.6.2 Client Filtering This screen allows you to block Internet access for local clients based on IP addresses, application types and time of day. Enable Client Filter: Select to enable/disable the function.
Enable: Select to establish rules based on the configuration options that follow. IP Address: Enter the address (or the range of addresses) you want to control. Port/Type: You can manually enter your preferences and click “Add,” which will then display your new filter configuration in the Rules Listing. Block Time / Day / Time: Make selections as desired to define rules so they are applied only to specific days and/or times of day.
3.6.3 URL Filtering This screen allows you to prevent users from accessing specific Web sites using broad or narrowly defined filters. URL Filter Control: Select one of three options: “Disable URL Filter function”; “Deny Internet Access for the following URL addresses”; and “Allow Internet Access for the following URL addresses.” IP Address: Enter the address (or range) you want to filter.
want to control. The format is 00:00:00:00:00:00, using the characters 0-9 and a-f. Comment: Enter a description to differentiate among the various filters you configure. 3.7 Routing This menu presents options for optimizing pathways for information packets, thus maximizing the efficiency and speed of the router. 3.7.1 Routing Table The Routing Table List displays the current routing information as it pertains to the network. Click “Refresh” to update.
3.7.2 Static Routing A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel in order to reach a specific host or network. Destination Network IP: Specify an address you want information packets forwarded to. Subnet Mask: Specify a subnet mask to distinguish the network and host portions of the IP address. Gateway IP: Enter the gateway IP address. 3.7.
Working Mode: Select “Router” or “Default Gateway.” Listen Mode: Select “Disabled,” “RIP1,” “RIP2” or “Both” (RIP1 & 2). Supply Mode: Select “Disabled,” “RIP1,” “RIP2 (Broadcast)” or “RIP2 (Multicast).” 3.8 QoS This menu presents Quality of Service options so you can provide different priorities to different applications, users or data flows — or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow — based on your specific network needs. 3.8.
Enable Port Rate Control: Select to enable/disable the function. LAN 1--4 / WAN: For each network connection, enter a maximum uplink/downlink bandwidth. 3.8.2 DSCP Port based DSCP Enable DSCP: Select to enable/disable the function. High / Medium / Low Queue Weight: Enter your preferred values. Enable Rule: Select to enable/disable the function. DSCP Value: Enter your preferred value.
Queue Map: Select a priority level from the drop-down menu. Description: Enter a description to differentiate among any number of rules that are established. 3.9 Miscellaneous This menu presents a couple of popular functions that can be configured and put to use: Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS). 3.9.
3.9.2 DDNS The DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) feature allows you to use a domain name instead of an IP address) to access Internet sites. Before you can use this feature, however, you need to register an account for DDNS service at a DDNS service provider such as DynDNS. Enable DDNS: Select to enable/disable the DDNS server. Host Name / User Name / Password: After you register a DDNS account with a DDNS service, you’ll receive the information to enter in each of these fields.
3.10 High Level This menu offers activation of an extra security measure to protect the network. Enabled: Select to enable/disable ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) spoofing correspondence. When enabled, this function will perform IP/MAC binding on the WAN side at the first ARP reply in order to prevent ARP spoofing, which is a type of Ethernet attack on a network. 3.11 Status This menu presents two informative submenus: Status and Log. 3.11.
3.11.2 Log The router keeps a running log of events and activities, which are displayed on the screens accessed here. NOTE: When the router is rebooted, the logs are automatically cleared.
4 troubleshooting If you forget your password.... Press the Reset button for 5 seconds or more (with the router on) to restore factory settings. The default username is “admin” and the password is “1234.” If problems arise with the cable modem connection.... Confirm that the cable modem is working properly and the signal is stable. Normally, there will be LEDs on the modem that indicate its operational status. If any LED indicates improper operation, contact your ISP.
