Network Setup
The Network Setup section changes the settings on the
network connected to the Router’s Ethernet ports. Wireless
Setup is performed through the Wireless tab.
Router IP
This presents both the Router’s IP Address and Subnet
Mask as seen by your network.
Router IP Address
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
The settings allow you to configure the Router’s Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server function. The
Router can be used as a DHCP server for your network. A
DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each
computer on your network. If you choose to enable the
Router’s DHCP server option, make sure there is no other
DHCP server on your network.
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
DHCP Server DHCP is enabled by factory default. If you
already have a DHCP server on your network, or you don’t
want a DHCP server, then select Dsable (no other DHCP
features will be available).
Startng IP Address Enter a value for the DHCP server to
start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the Router’s
default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the Starting IP Address must
be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.253.
The default Starting IP Address is 92.68..00.
Maxmum Number of DHCP Users Enter the maximum
number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign
IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253.
The default is 50.
Clent Lease Tme The Client Lease Time is the amount
of time a network user will be allowed connection to the
Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the
amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased”
this dynamic IP address. After the time is up, the user will
be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The
default is 0 minutes, which means one day.
Statc DNS (-3) The Domain Name System (DNS) is how
the Internet translates domain or website names into
Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at
least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to use another,
enter that IP Address in one of these fields. You can enter up
to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router will use
these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers.
WINS The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
manages each PC’s interaction with the Internet. If you
use a WINS server, enter that server’s IP Address here.
Otherwise, leave this blank.
Time Setting
Select the time zone in which your network functions
from this drop-down menu. (You can even automatically
adjust for daylight saving time.)
Time Setting
Click the Save Settngs button to apply your changes, or
click the Cancel Changes button to cancel your changes.
Setup > DDNS
The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)
feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain
name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when
you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other
server behind the Router.
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign
up for DDNS service with a DDNS service provider,
www.dyndns.org or www.TZO.com. If you do not want to
use this feature, keep the default setting, Dsable.
DDNS
DDNS Service
If your DDNS service is provided by DynDNS.org, then
select DynDNS.org from the drop-down menu. If your
DDNS service is provided by TZO, then select TZO.com.
The features available on the DDNS screen will vary,
depending on which DDNS service provider you use.
