Router Configuration

INTRODUCTION

The Router setup program is web based, which means that it is accessed through your web browser. To access to Router's web server:
1. 2.

Launch your web browser on the computer

The Router comes with a default IP address (192.168.1.1). If you change it, please take note of the new Router's IP address, otherwise a "Reset to Factory Default" operation should be done to be able to access again to the Router.

Access to DSL router configuration pages is controlled through user accounts. The default one is the admin user with unrestricted access to change and view configuration of the DSL Router.
The default username and password are both set to "admin". It is recommended to change these default values. Make sure you remember your user name and password, since this is the only way you will be able to manage your Router

You will be asked to choose the Router interface language between English, French, Russian, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, German and Italian and to insert a User Name and a Password: insert them to access to Router's configuration panels.

LAN BRIDGE

The LAN bridge connection is used to combine several LAN devices under one virtual network. For example, creating one network for LAN Ethernet and LAN wireless devices. Please note, that when a bridge is removed, its formerly underlying devices inherit the bridge's DHCP settings. For example, the removal of a bridge that is configured as DHCP client, automatically configures the LAN devices formerly constituting the bridge as DHCP clients, with the exact DHCP client configuration.

- No IP Address: Select 'No IP Address' if you require that your gateway have no IP address. This can be useful if you are working in an environment where you are not connected to other networks, such as the Internet. - Obtain an IP Address Automatically: Your connection is configured by default to act as a DHCP client. You should keep this configuration in case your service provider supports DHCP, or if you are connecting using a dynamic IP address. The server that assigns the gateway with an IP address, also assigns a subnet mask. You can override the dynamically assigned subnet mask by selecting the 'Override Subnet Mask' and specifying your own mask instead. You can press the 'Release' button to release the current leased IP address. Once the address has been released, the button text changes to 'Renew'. Use the 'Renew' button to renew the leased IP address. - Use the Following IP Address: Your connection can be configured using a permanent (static) IP address. Your service provider should provide you with such an IP address and subnet mask. DNS Server. Domain Name System (DNS) Server is the method by which Web site domain names are translated into IP addresses. You can configure the connection to automatically obtain a DNS server address, or specify such an address manually, according to the information provided by your ISP. To configure the connection to automatically obtain a DNS server address, select 'Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically' from the 'DNS Server' drop down menu. To manually configure DNS server addresses, select 'Use the Following DNS Server Addresses' from the 'DNS Server' drop down menu. Specify up to two different DNS server address, one primary, another secondary. IP Address Distribution. The 'IP Address Distribution' section allows you to configure the gateway's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server parameters. The DHCP automatically assigns IP addresses to network PCs. If you enable this feature, make sure that you also configure your network PCs as DHCP clients. Select one of the following options from the 'IP Address Distribution' combo-box: DHCP Server. Start IP Address: The first IP address that may be assigned to a LAN host. Since the gateway's default IP address is 192.168.1.1, this address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater. End IP Address: The last IP address in the range that can be used to automatically assign IP addresses to LAN hosts. Subnet Mask: A mask used to determine to what subnet an IP address belongs. An example of a subnet mask value is 255.255.0.0.

Lease Time In Minutes: Each device will be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server for this amount of time, when it connects to the network. When the lease expires the server will determine if the computer has disconnected from the network. If it has, the server may reassign this IP address to a newly-connected computer. This feature ensures that IP addresses that are not in use will become available for other computers on the network. Provide Host Name if Not Specified by Client: If the DHCP client does not have a host name, the gateway will automatically assign one for him. DHCP Relay. Your gateway can act as a DHCP relay in case you would like to dynamically assign IP addresses from a DHCP server other than your gateway's DHCP server. Note that when selecting this option you must also change Router's WAN to work in routing mode.

After selecting 'DHCP Relay' from the drop down menu, a 'New IP Address' link will appear: Click the 'New IP Address' link. The 'DHCP Relay Server Address' screen will appear. Specify the IP address of the DHCP server. Click 'OK' to save the settings.

2. 3.

Disabled. Select 'Disabled' from the combo-box if you would like to statically assign IP addresses to your network computers.
LAN BRIDGE >> ROUTING

You can choose to setup your gateway to use static or dynamic routing. Dynamic routing automatically adjusts how packets travel on the network, whereas static routing specifies a fixed routing path to neighboring destinations.

Routing. Select 'Advanced' or 'Basic' routing. Routing Mode. Select one of the following routing modes: · Route: Use route mode if you want your gateway to function as a router between two networks. · NAPT: Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) refers to network address translation
involving the mapping of port numbers, allowing multiple machines to share a single IP address. Use NAPT if your LAN encompasses multiple devices, a topology that necessitates port translation in addition to address translation.

Device Metric. The device metric is a value used by the gateway to determine whether one route is superior to another, considering parameters such as bandwidth, delay, and more. Default Route. Select this check box to define this device as a the default route. Routing Information Protocol (RIP). Select this check box to enable the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). RIP determines a route based on the smallest hop count between source and destination. When RIP is enabled, select the following: · Listen to RIP messages - select 'None', 'RIPv1', 'RIPv2' or 'RIPv1/2'. · Send RIP messages - select 'None', 'RIPv1', 'RIPv2-broadcast' or 'RIPv2-multicast'. Multicast - IGMP Proxy Internal. IGMP proxy enables the system to issue IGMP host messages on behalf of hosts that the system discovered through standard IGMP interfaces. IGMP proxy enables the routing of multicast packets according to the IGMP requests of LAN devices asking to join multicast groups. Select the 'Multicast IGMP Proxy Internal' check-box to enable this feature. Routing Table. Allows you to add or modify routes when this device is active.
