Hardware Setup
When installing the router, the common practice is to have the router, the main
computer, and phone jack in the same room. The room should also have enough
electrical outlets to match your needs.
To setup the hardware:
1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable from the router’s ETHERNET
ETHERNET port and then plug
ETHERNET ETHERNET
the other end into the Ethernet port in your computer.
2. If you have another device you need to connect through wire into the router, use
another piece of Ethernet cable. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable from the
computer’s Ethernet port and then plug the other end into an available Ethernet
port.
3. Plug one end of the telephone cable from the POTS Splitter’s ADSL
plug the other end into the router’s DSL

WAN
Wide Area Network refers to the configurations you perform to establish an Internet
connection. There are several types of WAN connections that require different settings.
New Connection
Your router supports the creation of new connections. If you have multiple virtual
connections, you may need to utilize the static routing capabilities of the modem to pass
data correctly.
WAN connections types include:
PPPoE Connection
PPPoA Connection
Static Connection
DHCP Connection
Bridge Connection
CLIP Connection

User Manual
PPPoE Connection
PPP, or point-to-point protocol, is a method of establishing a network connection/session
between network hosts. PPPoE is a protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet
frames and is described in RFC 2516. PPPoE provides the ability to connect to a network
of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote access concentrator. With this
model, each router uses its own PPP stack. Access control, billing, and type of service
control can all be done on a per-user rather than per-site basis.

PPPoA Connection
PPPoA is also known as RFC 2364. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets in ATM
cells that are carried over the DSL line. PPP, or point-to-point protocol, is a method of
establishing a network connection/session between network hosts. It usually provides a
mechanism of authenticating users. Logical link control (LLC) and virtual circuit (VC) are
two different methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact your service provider to
determine which encapsulation is being used on your Internet connection.

Static Connection
Static connection type is used whenever a known static IP address is assigned to the
router. Additional addressing information such as the subnet mask and the default
gateway must also be specified. Up to three domain name server (DNS) addresses can be
identified. These servers resolve the name of the computer to the IP address mapped to
it and thus enable you to access other web servers by typing the symbolic name (host
name).

LAN
The router is preconfigured to automatically provide IP addresses to all the computers in
the Local Area Network (LAN). Your router allows you to create and configure LAN
groups.
LAN Configuration
Your router’s default IP address and subnet mask are 10.100.1.1 and 255.255.255.0,
respectively. This subnet mask allows the router to support 254 users. If you want to
support more users, you need to edit the subnet mask but remember that the DHCP
server is defaulted to only give out 255 IP addresses. If you change your gateways’ IP
address and you have DHCP enabled, the DHCP configuration must reside within the
same subnet. The default gateway is the routing device used to forward all traffic that is
not addressed to a station within the local subnet. Your ISP will provide you with the
default gateway Address.

IP Address The default IP address of the router (as shown) is
10.100.1.1.
Netmask The default subnet mask of your router is 255.255.255.0.
This subnet allows the router to support 254 users. If you want to support a larger number of users you can change the subnet mask.
Default Gateway The default gateway is the routing device used to
forward all traffic that is not addressed to a station within the local subnet. Your ISP provides you with the IP address of the default gateway.
Host Name The host name is used in conjunction with the domain
name to uniquely identify the router. It can be any alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces.
Domain The domain name is used in conjunction with the host
name to uniquely identify the router. To access the web pages of the router you can type 10.100.1.1 (the IP address) or mygateway1.ar7 (Host Name.Domain).
Enable DHCP Server Enables/disables DHCP. By default, your router has the
DHCP server (LAN side) enabled. If you already have a DHCP server running on your network, you must disable one of the two DHCP servers.
Assign ISP DNS,
SNTP
Enable/disables the Assign ISP DNS, SNTP feature when the DHCP server of your router has been enabled. To learn more, please refer to Assign ISP DNS, SNTP.
Start IP The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts
issuing IP addresses. This value must be greater than the IP address value of the router. For example, if the IP address of the router is 10.100.1.1 (default), then the starting IP address must be 192.168.1.2 (or higher).
End IP The End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops
issuing IP addresses. The ending address cannot exceed a subnet limit of 254; hence the max value for the default gateway is 192.168.1.254. If the DHCP server runs out of DHCP addresses, users do not get access to

User Manual
network resources. If this happens, you can increase the Ending IP address (to the limit of 254) or reduce the lease time.
Lease Time The Lease Time is the amount of time that a network
user is allowed to maintain a network connection to the router using the current dynamic IP address. At the end of the Lease Time, the lease is either renewed or the DHCP server issues a new IP. The amount of time is in units of seconds. The default value is 3600 seconds (1 hour). The maximum value is 999999 seconds
(About 278 hours).
Enable DHCP Relay In addition to the DHCP server feature, the router
supports the DHCP relay function. When the router is configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses to the LAN clients. When the gateway is configured as DHCP relay, it is responsible for forwarding the requests and responses negotiated between the DHCP clients and the server.
Relay IP The IP address of the DHCP relay server.
Server and Relay Off When the DHCP server and relay functions are turned
off, the network administrator must carefully configure the IP address, Subnet Mask, and DNS settings of every host on your network. Do not assign the same IP address to more than one host. Also, your router must reside on the same subnet as all the other hosts.
Assign ISP DNS, SNTP
When you enable the DHCP server, the router dynamically assigns IP addresses to
computers in the local network. The router provides its own LAN IP address (10.100.1.1)
as both the gateway and the DNS server.
The router has a choice of advertising its own IP address (10.100.1.1) as the DNS server
or providing the DNS that was received from the WAN. This can be configured by

Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a troubleshooting and management
protocol, which uses the UDP protocol on port 161 to communicate between clients and
servers. SNMP uses a manager MIB (management information base) agent solution to
fulfill the network management needs. The agent is a separate station that can request
data from an SNMP agent in each of the different system in the network. The agent uses
MIBs as dictionaries of manageable objects. Each SNMP-managed device has at least one
agent that can respond to the queries from the NMS. The SNMP agent supports GETS,
SETS, and TRAPS for 4 groups with MIB-II: System, Interface, IP, and ICMP. The SNMP
agent supports three-community names authentication.

IGMP Proxy
IP hosts use Internet group management protocol (IGMP) to report their multicast group
memberships to neighboring routers. Similarly, multicast routers use IGMP to discover
which of their hosts belong to multicast groups. Your router supports IGMP proxy that
handles IGMP messages. When enabled, your router acts as a proxy for a LAN host
making requests to join and leave multicast groups, or a multicast router sending
multicast packets to multicast groups on the WAN side.
IGMP Proxy
IGMP Proxy
IGMP ProxyIGMP Proxy
Multicasting is a form of limited broadcast. UDP is used to send datagram’s to all hosts
that belong to what is called a Host Group. A host group is a set of one or more hosts
identified by a single IP destination address. The following statements apply to host
groups:
Anyone can join or leave a host group at will.
There are no restrictions on a host’s location.
There are no restrictions on the number of members that may belong to a host
group.
A host may belong to multiple host groups.
Non-group members may send UDP datagram’s to the host group.
Page 61 of 129
User Manual
Multicasting is useful when the same data needs to be sent to more than one device. For
instance, if one device is responsible for acquiring data that many other devices need,
then multicasting is a natural fit. Note that using multicasting as opposed to sending the
same data to individual devices uses less network bandwidth. The multicast feature also
enables you to receive multicast video streams from multicast servers.
The IGMP Proxy page allows you to enable multicast on available WAN and LAN
connections. You can configure the WAN or LAN interface as one of the following:
Upstream
Upstream The interface that IGMP requests from hosts are sent to the multicast
UpstreamUpstream
router.
Downstream
Downstream The interface data from the multicast router are sent to hosts in the
DownstreamDownstream
multicast group database.
Ignore
Ignore No IGMP request nor data multicast are forwarded.

You can perform one of the two options:
1. Configure one or more WAN interface as the upstream interface.
2. Configure one or more LAN interface as the upstream interface.

Quality of Service
Quality of service allows network administrators to configure the routers to meet the real
time requirements for voice and video.
Different networks use different QoS markings like:
ToS network: ToS bits in the IP header
VLAN network: priority bits in the VLAN header
DSCP network: uses only 5 bits of the CoS
WLAN: WLAN QoS header.
The QoS framework is supported on all the above domains. How do you make them talk
to each other? How can you make sure the priority from one network is carried over to
another network? Class of service (CoS) is introduced as the common language for the
QoS mappings. When QoS is enabled, the router has full control over packets from the
time they enter the router till they leave the router. This is how it works: The domain
mapping (ToS bits, priority bits, etc.) of a packet needs to be translated to CoS when the
packet enter the router, and vice versa, the CoS of a packet needs to be translated back
to the domain mapping when the packet leaves the router.
There are 6 types of CoS (in descending priority):
CoS1
CoS2
CoS3
CoS4
CoS5
CoS6
Page 77 of 129
User Manual
The rules are:
1. CoS1 has absolute priority and is used for expedited forwarding (EF) traffic. This is
always serviced till completion.
2. CoS2-CoS5 are used for assured forwarding (AF) classes. They are serviced in a
strict round robin manner using the following priority scheme:
CoS2 > CoS3 > CoS4 > CoS5
3. CoS6 is for best effort (BE) traffic. This is only serviced when there is no other class
of service. If QoS is not enabled on your router, all traffic will be treated as best
effort.
There are some additional terms you should get familiarize with:
Ingress: Packets arriving from a WAN/LAN interface into the router.
Egress: Packets sent from the router to a WAN/LAN interface.
Trusted mode: Honors the domain mapping (ToS byte, WME, WLAN user priority).
Untrusted mode: Does not honor domain mapping. This is the default QoS setting.
Traffic Conditioning Agreement (TCA): The TCA needs to be defined for each
interface:
o
Ingress mappings (Domain =>CoS)
o Egress Mappings (CoS => Domain)
o
Untrusted mode (default)

Discipline, both are rate-based shaping algorithms.
The hierarchical token bucket queue discipline is a rate-based shaping algorithm. This algorithm rate shapes the traffic of a class over a specific interface. All CoSx traffic uses a specific rate to which data will be shaped. For example: If CoS1 is configured to 100Kbps then even if 300Kbps of CoS1 data is being transmitted to the interface only 100Kbps will be sent out.
User Manual
Low Latency Queue Discipline
PRIOWRR This is a priority based weighted round robin algorithm operating on CoS2-CoS6. CoS1
This is similar to the above algorithm except that CoS1 is not rate limited. So in the example above CoS1 data is not rate limited to 100Kbps but instead all 300Kbps is transmitted. The side effect is that a misconfigured stream can potentially take all bandwidth.
queues have the highest priority and are not controlled by the WRR algorithm.
Of the three shaping algorithms available on the Shaper Configuration page, only one can
be enabled at a time. An example of each configuration is given as follows.
Example 1: HTB Queue Discipline Enabled
In the example below, HTB Queue Discipline is enabled. The PPPoE1 connection has a
total of 300 Kbps of bandwidth, of which 100 Kbps is given to CoS1 and another 100 Kbps
is given to CoS2. When there is no CoS1 or CoS2 packets, CoS6 packets have the whole
300 Kbps of bandwidth.

Example 2: Low Latency Queue Discipline Enabled
In this second example, Low Latency Queue Discipline is enabled. CoS1 is not rate
controlled (hence the field is disabled). CoS2 takes 100 Kbps when there is no CoS1
packets. CoS6 has 300 Kbps when there is no CoS1 or CoS2 packets. This is similar to the
HTB queue discipline as they are both rate-based algorithm, except that CoS1 is handled
differently.

Example 3: PRIOWRR Enabled
In this third example, PRIOWRR is enabled. Since PRIOWRR operates only on the number
of packets being transmitted, the max rate field has been disabled. Only percentage can
be assigned to the CoS2 - CoS6. CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is not
displayed). When there is no CoS1 packets, CoS2, CoS3, CoS4 each has 10 percent, and
CoS6 has 70 percent. This is similarly to the Low Latency Queue discipline, except that
one is packet-based, and the other is rate-based.

Static Routing
If the router is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a static
route between them. A static route is a pre-defined pathway that network information
must travel to reach a specific host or network. You can use static routing to allow
different IP domain users to access the Internet through the router.
Static Routing
Static Routing
Static RoutingStatic Routing
The New Destination IP is the address of the remote LAN network or host to which you
want to assign a static route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you wish to
create a static route here. For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the
first three fields of the New Destination IP, while the last field should be 0. The Subnet
Mask identifies which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion
is the host portion. For a full Class C Subnet, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. The
Gateway IP address should be the IP address of the gateway device that allows for
contact between the Gateway and the remote network or host.

Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing allows the router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the
network. The router, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets’ route based
on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol
regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network. The Direction
determines the direction that RIP routes will be updated. Selecting In means that the
router will only incorporate received RIP information. Selecting Out means that the router
will only send out RIP information. Selecting both means that the router will incorporate
received RIP information and send out updated RIP information.
Dynamic Routing

Dynamic Routing Dynamic Routing
The protocol is dependent upon the entire network. Most networks support RIP v1. If RIP
v1 is selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v1 format. If RIP v2 is selected, routing
data will be sent in RIP v2 format using subnet broadcasting. If RIP v1 Compatible is
selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v2 format using multicasting.
