file:///G|/CSO/Documentation/Documentation%20-%20Draf...%20Mach-1%20Router/User%20Guide/English/internet.html (3 of 6)9/14/2006 2:44:27 PM

Wireless Nd1 Router User Guide

If you make a physical connection from the router's WAN port to an existing network or networks, you may need to establish Static Routes. This will allow the router to use its own network address, which is different from the network to which it is connected. This will also allow the router to connect to specific networks that already exist on the WAN side.

For Static Routes on your WAN, you must use values within the same subnets as your Internet connection.

Note: The default LAN IP address of the router is 192.168.2.1 and default Subnet Mask is

255.255.255.0.

1. Enter the IP address of the network for this specific router in the IP address field.

2. Enter the Subnet mask of the network for this specific router in the Subnet mask field.

3. Enter the Gateway of the network for this specific router in the Gateway field.

4. Enter the number of routers that this router must connect through in order to connect to the other network in the Hops field.

The number of hops is determined by how many routers are between your router and the respective network.

Example: If there is another router connected to the router 's WAN port, you would enter 1 for the number of hops between the router's WAN port and any client connected to the second router.

5. Click Add.

Dynamic DNS

A DNS (Domain Name Service) resolves an Internet address such as www.usr.com into an IP address. A dynamic DNS service allows you to assign a Web name like myUSRrouter.dynDNS.com to your gateway, making it accessible from the Internet without having to know the gateway's IP address assigned by the service provider.

In this page, you can set parameters that will allow the domain name services to find your gateway. You would use this to bypass the dynamic nature of WAN IP addressing, to have a consistent host name accessible from the Internet.

Note: You will need dynamic DNS service provided by a third party to use this feature.

To configure Dynamic DNS on your router:

1. Select your DNS provider. You can register at

DynDNS.org,TZO.com, DtDNS.com, and No-IP.

com for no charge.
