5.3 LAN Setup

Using the Default IP Address.
The Router comes with a preset default IP address setting of 10.0.0.2
for the LAN port. There are two ways to use this default IP address, you
can manually assigned an IP address and subnet mask for each PC on
the LAN or you can instruct the Router to automatically assign them
using DHCP. The DHCP function is active by default.
Manual IP Address Assignment
You can manually set the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway
on each computer.
DHCP
The second way is to allow the Router as a DHCP service. Checking
DHCP server by the Router. The Router is set by default to use DHCP.
Define the IP address range from start Address to end address that your
router will be using to assign addresses.
Subnet Mask
Define the subnet mask using the standard method (in other words,
255.0.0.0)

25

5.4 NAT Configuration

NAPT
Network Address Translation (NAT) is used in conjunction with an
Internet connection. NAT provides a level of security for private hosts by
translating the address. NAT allows a company to use private address
on its LAN and translate those addresses to a single address. The
Router just supports one-to-many address translation. It translates the
address in the IP packet to the public address and then sets the source
port to a random port number. (NAPT)

26

The NAPT function is enabled by default on the Router. If you want to

disable NAT, open the NAT configuration window, select disabled in
the NAT Configuration. Click the submit button to implement your
choice.

NAT
Click Session Name Configuration and type session name, then click
submit and click go back to NAT configuration to add an IP address.
Choose NAT in the lists and type Session Name and setup an IP
address, then click submit. This will just allow this host to connect to
Internet; the other hosts cannot connect to Internet.

27

28

5.5 DNS Configuration

Default Gateway
Provided by ISP or automatically assigned by ISP.
DNS
Domain Name Service (DNS) is a service used on the Internet for
resolving fully qualified domain names (FQDN) to their Internal Protocol
(IP) address. You can type the preferred DNS server IP address,
Alternative DNS server IP address that provided by ISP or automatically
assigned by ISP. Click submits and save settings to save your setting.

29

5.6 Save Settings

When you change all setting, you must click save settings and click
submit. The Router will save settings and software reset router for
about 20 seconds.

6.10 Diagnostic Test

The diagnostic test consists of 5 simple tests: Line Test, ATM
Loopback test, PPP test, Ping Self test and PPP gateway test.
These simple tests can be used to locate potential connectivity
problem.
Line Test - Line Test will start the ADSL line activation,
training, channel analysis and exchange process. If the ADSL
line is good, it will reach Showtime status before the specified
time period expires.
ATM Loopback test -ATM F5 end-to-end loopback request
cells will be sent out, and loopback response cells are
expected from the remote end. If (VPI, VCI) pair is not
configured correctly, ATM Loopback Test could fail.
PPP Test-- PPP Test will start over the PPP authentication
process. PPP test will pass if during the specified time period
PPP task successfully pass the authentication process.
Ping Self test - Ping Self Test will send a ping request to Router
LAN IP Address. Ping Self Test will pass if ping reply is
received.
Ping Gateway Test PPP For PPP encapsulation, ping request
is sent to remote end IP address got from PPP negotiation. For
other encapsulation ping request is sent to the default gateway
address as configured in DNS Configuration. Ping Gateway
test will pass if ping reply is received.
