z Firmware Upgrade, Configuration Backup and Alert by Email supported
This device supports firmware upgrade to upgrade the system firmware with new one. It also supports configuration backup and restore, so that user can save various system configuration profiles and restore it when he needs. Besides, some urgent message that needs manager to know can be delivered by email approach.
z Hardware DMZ - Demilitarized Zone supported
This feature allow user to configure 10 Global IP for DMZ Hosts while other Hosts on LAN can still share WAN IP. With this feature, user can enjoy both benefits of the conveniences from DMZ Zone and the Security from other Filter settings. This feature also separates DMZ Hosts from LAN Network; so LAN network is much safer than ever.

Chapter 3 Network Settings Table of Contents
To use LevelOne FBR-1411TX correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your computers.
3.1 Make Correct Network Settings of Your Computer
The default IP address of this product is 192.168.123.254, and the default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed on your need, but the d efault values are used in this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your computer has not yet been configured, you can refer to
Appendix A
to configure it. For example,
1. Configure IP as 192.168.123.1, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as
192.168.123.254, or more easier,
2. Configure your computers to load TCP/IP setting automatically, that is, via DHCP server of
this product.
After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol, you can use the ping command to check if your computer has successfully connected to this product. The following example shows the ping procedure for Windows 95 platforms. First, execute the ping command
ping 192.168.123.254
If the following messages appear:
Pinging 192.168.123.254 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.123.254: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64
A communication link between your computer and this product has been successfully established. Otherwise, if you get the following messages,
Pinging 192.168.123.254 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
There must be something wrong in your installation procedure. You have to check the following items in sequence:
1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between this product and your computer?
Tip: The LAN LED of this product and th e link LED of network card on your computer must be lighted.
2. Is the TCP/IP environment of your computers properly configured?
Tip: If the IP address of this product is 192.168.123.254, the IP address of your computer must be
192.168.123.X and default gateway must be 192.168.123.254.
