•

WAN Configuration

According to your WAN connection, you can choose the following four
methods to configure the TCP/IP settings to the external network:

1. Use PPPoE Protocol

PPPoE is commonly used in DSL-based broadband services to establish the Interne

t

connection. Please check with you ISP to check if PPPoE is used. You will also nee

d

the user name and password information that supplied by your IS

P

to properly configure the PPPoE settings.

18

2. Use PPTPProtocol

If the LevelOne FNS-6000 is connecting to a remote PPTP server through the WAN
port, you need to use the PPTP protocol.

3. Use DHCP Protocol

The DHCP prot ocol is usually used in a Cable modem environment or the intranet.
The system will obtain the IP address settings automatically via DHCP.

4. Use Static IP Address

The fixed IP address is usually used in some DSL broadband services or intranet, and
an IP address must be entered manually in configuring the network. You will need to
enter the following inform ation:

IP Address

The IP ad dress is a 32- bit digit code used to identify each single entity on a network.
The IP address is separated into 4 groups of eight bits separated

b

y

dots. (e.g.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local network. It is a 3

2

b

it digit code. (e.g. 255.255.255.0)

Default Gateway

The gateway is generally referred as an interchange point that connects two networks.
If you don’t know the gateway’s IP address, please ask your I

S

or network administrator.

There are sev eral available optionsinaddition to thebasic setti

n

g

s:

Allow entering administration web pages from external network

If this option was not enabled, you will not be able to perform system administration fro

m

the computers connected to the WAN port. You may also assign the HTTP port numbe

r

for enteri

n

g ad

m

inistration webpages.

Disable response to ICMP packets to avoid attacks from hackers

For additional security, when enabling this option, outside computers cannot use the 'ping'

p

rogram to probe for IP address of this server.

•

LAN Configuration

If you use the LevelOne FNS-6000 as the gateway to connect to the Internet, there i

s

normally no need to change the LAN configuration. Simply chang

e

the network configuration of the computers on the LAN to automaticall

y

obtain IP addresses via DHCP protocol. By default, the LevelOne FNS-600

0

provides the NAT function to allow the computers on your LAN to share a single WA

N

Fixed IP address

The IP address is a 32-bit digit code used to identify each single entity on a network. Thi

s

address will be used for all clients in the internal LAN to access this LevelOne FNS-6000

.

You can check the current LAN IP address of the LevelOne FNS-6000 from the LC

D

p

anel (see

A

pp

end ix A).

19

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local network. It is a 32-bi

t

digit code: 255.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Default Gateway

The gateway is generally referred as an interchange point that connects two networks,
such as LAN and WAN. You don’t need to configure gateway address if NAT function is
enabled; just set it as 0.0.0.0.

Enable DHCP Server

Once the DHCP server function is activated, the LevelOne FNS-600

0

will assign dynamic IP addresses to any computer in the loca

l

network that is configured to automatically obtain IP addresses.
Note: Only one DHCP server can be activated at any time in a network, or it may cause

errors in communication.

Enable NAT Function

NA

T (Network Address Translation) allows the clients that use the internal private I

P

address to access the Internet. This option should be enabled if you use the LevelOn

e

FNS-6000 to connect to the Internet.

Wireless LAN Configuration

Your LevelOne FNS-6000 is designed to act as an Access Point (AP) in the wireles

s

LAN. The system is fully compliant with IEEE 802.11b standard

,

and provides powerful WEP encryption support for wireless security enhancement.

•

Network File

Microsoft Networking

Users using the LevelOne FNS-6000 on the Microsoft Windows operating systems
must start Microsoft Network Services.

If the local network has a WINS server installed, please specify the I

P

address. The LevelOne FNS-6000 will automatically register its name and IP addres

s

with the WINS service. Or you can enable your LevelOne FNS-6000 a

s

the WINS server for your network.

Apple Networking

Users using the LevelOne FNS-6000 on Apple Mac operating systems muse enable
AppleTalk network support.

If your AppleTalk network uses extended networks and is assigned with multiple zones

,

p

lease assign a zone name to the LevelOne FNS-6000. If you do not want to assig

n

a network zone, please enter an asterisk (*). Asterisk (*) is the default setting.

NFS Service

Users using LevelOne FNS-6000 on Unix/Linux operating system computer or serv

e

must start Unix/Linux NFS service. The LevelOne FNS-6000 supports NFS version 2.

Router and Firewall

Routing Table

The static route defines the network path to reach a specific network or host. You may
need to set up a static route if this system is connected to more than one network.

If you do not have other routers in the network, you will not need to add any static routin

g

entry. The system will use the default routing table for communication between WA

N

and LAN.

V

irtual Server

This feature allows you to make the service provided by the internal server accessible t

o

the users from Internet. The Internet users will then use the WAN I

P

address of the LevelOne FNS-6000 to access allofyourvirtual servers.

One-to one NAT

This feature allows you to map an external public IP address to an internal private IP
address hidden by NAT. To use this feature, you will need to have more than one public
IP address from your ISP. You can use this feature to have several servers using internal
IP addresses to be accessed from the Internet.

Special Application

This feature allows you to use some on-line applications tha

t

require 2-way communication or simultaneous sessions. If you use on-lin

e

ga

m

es, conferenci

n

g

or messagi

n

g

software,you

may

needto configure this function.

Web Site Filter

The web site filter provides a mean to block access to undesirable web sites. If a web sit

e

address is added into web site filter, access to that site is blocked for all clients in th

e

internal LAN.

Web Content Filter

The web content filter allows you to block access to web sites with undesirable contents.

Advanced Firewall Rule

This feature allows administrators to define a set of rules to examine the network packe

t

flow between internal LAN and external WAN. By default, all packet

s

from ext ernal networks are denied except for web site requests. No packets from th

e

internal network are blocked ordiscarded.

22

DMZ

This feature allows one computer on your LAN to be exposed to al

l

users on the Internet. This can allow 2-way communication between th

e

DMZ host and other users from the external network. If you meet troubles t

o

use some Internet gaming or video-conferencing application on your local computer

,

you may try to configure this computer as the DMZ host.

•

DDNS Service

DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service allows the Internet users to use a domain name to acces

s

the LevelOne FNS-6000 or the servers on your LAN rather than an I

P

address. This feature is particularly useful if you are using the broadband service tha

t

assigns a dynamic WAN IP address. To activate the DDNS service, you must first appl

y

an account from a free DDNS service provider (See Appendix D).
Note: The Lev e l One FNS-6000 currently supports the DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.org/)

DDNS service.

D

isk Confi

guration

The LevelOne FNS-6000 can accommodate a maximum of two disks. The Disk Volume can
be configured according to your needs.

•

Single Disk

You can choose to use a stand-alone disk. However, if the disk is damaged, all data wi

l

be lost.

•

RAID 1 Mirroring Disk Volume

Mirroring Disk protects your data by automatically backing up the contents of one disk
onto the second disk of a mirrored pair. This protects your data if one of the disks fails.
Unfortunately, the storing capacity is equal to a single disk, as the second drive is used t

o

automatically back up the first. Mirroring Disk is suitable for personal or corporate us

e

to store important data.

•

RAID 0 Striping Disk Volume

Striping disk combines two or more disks into one larger disk. It offers the fastest disk
access but it does not have any protection of your data if the striped array fails. The disk
capacity equals the number of disks in the array times the size of the smallest disk.
Striping disk is usually used to maximize your disk capacity or for fast disk access but not
for storing important data.

•

Linear DiskVolume

You can combine two or more disks into one larger disk. During file saving, the files ar

e

saved on physical disks but do not have a disk failure file protection function. Th

e

overall capacity of linear disks is the sum of all disks. Linear disks are generally used fo

r

storing large data and are not appropriate to use for protection of important data.

By factory def au lt , the LevelOne FNS-6000 hasbeen pre-set into onelarge disk. If you wis

h

to use other disk configurations, the settings can be changed during t

h

23

Configuration access. Furthe
