configure "Detection Interval", "Primary Detection Server IP" and "Backup Detection
Server IP" items.
PPP: Detect connection with PPP method, when choose this method, users should also
configure "Detection Interval" item.
Detection Interval: time interval between two detections, unit is second
Primary Detection Server IP: the server used to response the router’s detection packet. This item
is only valid for method "Ping" and "Route".
Backup Detection Server IP: the server used to response the router’s detection packet. This item
is valid for method "Ping" and "Route".
Note: When users choose the “Route” or “Ping” method, it’s quite important to make sure
that the “Primary Detection Server IP” and “Backup Detection Server IP” are usable and stable,
because they have to response the detection packet frequently.
Connection Strategy
Connection Strategy: one way is Connect on Demand, that is the link turnoff automatic under the
situation that the ready link is idle and idle time meets users' configuration requirement, but tit will
connect again if users visit Internet. The other way is to keep alive, that is the link enable to dial
again when reaching the re-dial period users set after disconnection.
Force reconnect: this option schedules the pppoe or 3G reconnection by killing the pppd daemon
and restart it.
Time: needed time to reconnect
Wan Nat
WAN NAT mode
STP
STP (Spaning Tree Protocol) can be applied to loop network. Through certain algorithm achieves
path redundancy, and loop network cuts to tree-based network without loop in the meantime, thus
to avoid the hyperplasia and infinite circulation of a message in the loop network
F8X36 Series Router User Manual
Optional Configuration
Router Name: set router name
Host Name: ISP provides
Domain Name: ISP provides
MTU: auto (1500) and manual (1200-1492 in PPPOE/PPTP/L2TP mode, 576-16320 in other
modes)
Router Internal Network Settings
Router IP
Local IP Address: IP address of the router
Subnet Mask: the subnet mask of the router
Gateway: set internal gateway of the router. If default, internal gateway is the address of the
router
Local DNS: DNS server is auto assigned by network operator server. Users enable to use their
own DNS server or other stable DNS servers, if not, keep it default
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
These settings for the router's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server functionality
configuration. The Router can serve as a network DHCP server. DHCP server automatically
assigns an IP address for each computer in the network. If they choose to enable the router's
DHCP server option, users can set all the computers on the LAN to automatically obtain an IP
address and DNS, and make sure no other DHCP server in the network.
F8X36 Series Router User Manual
DHCP Type: DHCP Server and DHCP Forwarder
Enter DHCP Server if set DHCP Type to DHCP Forwarder as blow:
DHCP Server: keep the default Enable to enable the router's DHCP server option. If users have
already have a DHCP server on their network or users do not want a DHCP server, then select
Disable
Start IP Address: enter a numerical value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP
addresses. Do not start with 192.168.1.1 (the router's own IP address).
Maximum DHCP Users: enter the maximum number of PCs that users want the DHCP server to
assign IP addresses to. The absolute maximum is 253 if 192.168.1.2 is users' starting IP address.
Client Lease Time: 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.
Static DNS (1-3): the Domain Name System (DNS) is how the Internet translates domain or
website names into Internet addresses or URLs. Users' ISP will provide them with at least one
DNS Server IP address. If users wish to utilize another, enter that IP address in one of these fields.
Users can enter up to three DNS Server IP addresses here. The router will utilize them for quicker
access to functioning DNS servers.
WINS: the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages each PC's interaction with the
Internet. If users use a WINS server, enter that server's IP address here. Otherwise, leave it blank.
DNSMasq: users' domain name in the field of local search, increase the expansion of the host
option, to adopt DNSMasq can assign IP addresses and DNS for the subnet, if select
DNSMasq, dhcpd service is used for the subnet IP address and DNS.
Time Settings
F8X36 Series Router User Manual
Select time zone of your location. To use local time, leave the checkmark in the box next to Use
local time.
NTP Client: Get the system time from NTP server
Time Zone: Time zone options
Summer Time (DST): set it depends on users' location
Server IP/Name: IP address of NTP server, up to 32 characters. If blank, the system will find a
server by default
Adjust Time
To adjust time by the system and refresh to get the time of the web, user can set to modify the
time of the system. They can change to adjust time by manual to achieve adjust time by the
system if the system fails to get NTP server
3.3.1.2 Dynamic DNS
If user's network has a permanently assigned IP address, users can register a domain name
and have that name linked with their IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS).
However, if their Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, users will not
know in advance what their IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this
case, users can use a commercial dynamic DNS service, which allows them to register their
domain to their IP address, and will forward traffic directed at their domain to their
frequently-changing IP address.
DDNS Service: Four-Faith router currently support DynDNS, freedns, Zoneedit, NO-IP,
3322, easyDNS, TZO, DynSIP and Custom based on the user.
F8X36 Series Router User Manual
User Name: users register in DDNS server, up to 64 characteristic
Password: password for the user name that users register in DDNS server, up to 32 characteristic
Host Name: users register in DDNS server, no limited for input characteristic for now
Type: depends on the server
Wildcard: support wildcard or not, the default is OFF. ON means *.host.3322.org is equal to
host.3322.org
Do not use external ip check: enable or disable the function of 'do not use external ip check'
Force Update Interval: unit is day, try forcing the update dynamic DNS to the server by setted
days
Status
DDNS Status shows connection log information
3.3.1.3 MAC Address Clone
Some ISP need the users to register their MAC address. The users can clone the router MAC
address to their MAC address registered in ISP if they do not want to re-register their MAC
address
