Advanced Administration

This Chapter explains the settings available via the "Administration" section of
the menu

.

7.1 Overview

Normally, it is not necessary to use these screens, or change any settings. These
screens and settings are provided to deal with non-standard situations, or to provide
additional options for advanced users.

The available settings and features are:

PC Database

This is the list of PCs shown when you select the "DMZ PC"
or a "Virtual Server". This database is maintained automati-
cally, but you can add and delete entries for PCs which use
a Fixed (Static) IP Address.

Config File

Backup or restore the configuration file for the Wireless
Router. This file contains all the configuration data.

Logs & E-mail

View or clear all logs, set E-Mailing of log files and alerts.

Diagnostics

Perform a Ping or DNS Lookup.

Remote Admin

Allow settings to be changed from the Internet.

Routing

Only required if your LAN has other Routers or Gateways.

Upgrade Firmware

Upgrade the Firmware (software) installed in your Wireless
Router.

7.2 PC Database

The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC).
• It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses.
• Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your LAN.

However, if you do use a fixed IP address on some devices on your LAN, you should
enter details of each such device into the PC database, using the PC Database
screen.

An example PC Database screen is shown below.
