ENGLISH

3-1 Gateway using PPPoE

Figure 8. Gateway using PPPoE

• User Name: Enter your ISP Username.

• Password: Enter your ISP Password.

• Connect-on-demand: Only enable this option if your ISP charges by the megabyte or by minutes (seconds) of line useage. Enabling this option will cause the router to connect to the ADSL line when there is a packet waiting to be transmitted. Set the Max Idle Time with the length of time the router will remain in an idle state before reconnecting to collect incoming data.

• Keep Alive: This function keeps your PPPoE connection always active even when there is no data to transmit. However, in some situations, the PPPoE session cannot be built immediately after disconnection because the system on the ISP site may need a little time to restore. You may need to check with your ISP to find out how much time is required before the router can start to re-build the PPPoE session and then fill this in the “Redial Period”.

3-2 Gateway using PPPoA

Figure 9. Gateway using PPPoA

• User Name: Enter your ISP Username.

• Password: Enter your ISP Password.

• Keep Alive: This function keeps your PPPoA connection always on even if it sits idle. However, in some situations, the PPPoA session cannot be built immediately after disconnection because the system on the ISP site may need a little time to restore. You may need to check with your ISP to find out how much time is required before the router can start to re-build the PPPoE session and then fill this in the “Redial Period”.

3-3 Modem using LLC Encaps

Gateway, Router and Modem are the different working modes of the router. It is highly recommended that you use the Gateway mode, which is NAT enabled. It not only allows LAN users to share a single IP Address, but also protects your LAN network from outside intruders. If the router is set to the Router mode or the Modem mode, all the PCs in the LAN will have to be assigned fixed IP Addresses. The Router mode allows users to specify which routing path data packets should take. If setting to the Modem mode, the Public IP Address setting is not necessary.

LLC Encaps, Classical IP, PPPoE, and PPPoA are different connection modes that are different protocols for making the initial session between your router and the ISP’s equipment. Your ISP may provide the information regarding the connection mode you should set. If you don’t know which one to choose, you should contact your ISP to get this information.

3-4 Gateway using LLC Encaps. (Dynamic IP)

This connection type is the default setting of this router. Leave this setting on the column according to the following conditions:

1. You want to employ NAT. NAT allows you to use single IP address as the external one to share internet access from all of your PCs, as well as protect them from outside intruders.

2. Your ISP uses LLC Encapsulation and uses DHCP to assign an IP address when you connect to your ISP LLC encapsulation allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual connection (VC). You can find more information on RFC 2684.

ENGLISH

3-5 Gateway using LLC Encaps. (Static IP)

Figure 10. Gateway using LLC Encaps. (Static IP)

Choose this setting according to the following conditions:

1. You want to employ NAT. NAT allows you to use single IP address as the external one to share internet access for all of your PCs, as well as protect them from outside intruders.

2. Your ISP uses LLC Encapsulation and provides you with one or more IP addresses when you apply for the service. You can find more information on RFC 2684.

Specify WAN IP Address: Enter one IP address provided by your ISP. Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask values provided by your ISP. Default Gateway IP Address: Your ISP will provide you with the Default Gateway IP Address. Domain Name Server (DNS): Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS IP Address. Multiple DNS IP settings are common. The first available DNS entry is

used in most cases.

3-6 Gateway using Classical IP

Figure 11. Gateway using Classical IP

Choose this setting according to the following conditions:

1. You want to employ NAT. NAT allows you to use a single IP address as the external one to share internet access for all of your PCs, as well as protect them from outside intruders.

2. Your ISP uses Classical IP connection type (use LLC encapsulation and routing protocol) and provides you with one or more IP addresses when you apply for the service. You can find more information on RFC 2684.

Domain Name Server (DNS): Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS IP Address. Multiple DNS IP settings are common. The first available DNS entry is

used in most cases.

3-7 Router using Classical IP

Figure 12. Router using Classical IP

Choose this setting according to the following conditions:

1. You want this device acting as a router without NAT function.

ENGLISH

Specify WAN IP Address: Enter the IP address provided by your ISP. Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask values provided by your ISP. Default Gateway IP Address: Your ISP will provide you with the Default Gateway IP Address. Domain Name Server (DNS): Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS IP Address. Multiple DNS IP settings are common. The first available DNS entry is used in

most cases.

Note! You have to set a public IP address for each of your LAN PCs if you select this connection type

3-8 Modem using LLC encaps

Figure 13. Modem using LLC Encaps

Choose this setting according to the following conditions:

1. You want this device acting as an ADSL modem.

2. Your ISP used LLC encapsulation. Your ISP may use DHCP to provide an IP address or to provide you with one or more IP addresses, as well as asking you to use PPPoA or PPPoE connection modes when

you apply for the service. However, as you have chosen to make this device act as an modem, you have to know how to configure your PCs. When you have properly configured the Setup page, click “Apply”. You can now test to see if the settings are all correct by successfully connecting to the Internet.

4.0 Advanced Configuration

Most users will not need to change any advanced configuration on this router. This section is intended for users who are familiar with both wireless and routers.

4-1 Firewall

This allows users to configure the Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall to protect the user from external hackers. From the One Page Setup screen select Firewall Settings from the left hand side.

Figure 14. Firewall

• Advanced Firewall Protection: Enable/Disable: This enables/disables the firewall, and gives protection from ‘Denial of Service’ attackes whilst also enabling the Stateful Packet Inspection Firewalll.

• Web Filter: Enabling or Disabling the following allows users to perform filtering on various incoming packet types. Press “Apply” after making any changes.

ENGLISH

4-2 Virtual Private Network (VPN) Settings

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows users to use the internet to make the equivalent of a direct connection (private network) between two offices. Private networks should be extremely secure, therefore when using the internet to make a VPN, data encryption must be used to ensure a high level of data security.

Figure 15. VPN Settings

• Select Tunnel Entry: The router allows the user to set up multiple VPN configurations. Each configuration is called a Tunnel. Select any Tunnel from the drop-down box.

• Check “Enable” to activate the tunnel.

• Tunnel Name: Once the Tunnel is enabled, enter a name of the Tunnel in the “Tunnel Name” field. This allows you to differentiate a new Tunnel from any others you have created and gives a meaningful name to the Tunnel Entry Number.

Note! The Tunnel name set here does not always have to match the name used at the other end of the Tunnel. However, certain VPN applications require a Tunnel to

have the same name at both ends of the Tunnel. If the other end point with which you want to establish the Tunnel does not use this router, it is important that you give the other side precise set up instructions and ensure that these are followed.

• Local Secure Group and Remote Secure Group You can choose one of five options:

- Subnet

- IP Address

- IP Range

- Host

- Any

1. Subnet: Select this item to allow all the PCs on the LAN side access to the Tunnel.

Figure 16. Subnet Settings

Refer to the above figure as an example. All Local Secure Group computers with IP Addresses 192.168.1.xxx will be able to access the Tunnel. All Remote Secure Group computers with IP Addresses 192.168.2.xxx will be able to access the Tunnel. When the Subnet setting is selected, the default values of 0 should remain in the IP and Mask fields.
