For details on connecting the HiPort, please refer to the
Installation chapter. This chapter will describe each screen
of the web-based utility and each screen’s key functions.
The web-based utility can be accessed via your web
browser through use of a computer connected to the
HiPort. Most users only have to configure the following
screens:
Basic Setup •On the Setup > Basic Setup screen, enter
the Internet connection settings provided by your
Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you do not have
this information, you can call your ISP to request the
settings. When you have the setup information, then
you can configure the HiPort.
Management •On the Administration > Management
screen, change the local router access password from
the default value (admin). Enter a new password in the
Password and Re-enter to confirm fields.
There are six main tabs: Setup, Security, Access Restrictions,
Applications & Gaming, Administration, and Status. Sub
tabs vary depending upon the main tab selection.
How to Access the Web-Based Utility

Internet Connection Type
The HiPort supports two connection types: Automatic
Configuration - DHCP and Static IP. Each Basic Setup screen
and the available features will differ depending on what
kind of connection type you select.
Automatic Configuration - DHCP
By default, the HiPort’s Internet Connection Type is set to
Automatic Configuration - DHCP, and it should be used
only if your ISP supports DHCP.
Static IP
If you are required to use a permanent IP address, then
select Static IP.

Local IP Address The default value is 192.168.29.1.
Subnet Mask The default value is 255.255.255.0.
DHCP Server Setting
The HiPort can be used as a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server for your network. A DHCP server
automatically assigns an IP address to each computer on
your network. Unless you already have one, it is highly
recommended that you leave the HiPort enabled as a
DHCP server.
DHCP Server Setting
DHCP Server DHCP is enabled by factory default. If you
already have a DHCP server on your network, set the
HiPort’s DHCP option to Disable. If you disable DHCP,
remember to assign a static IP address to the HiPort on
your computer.
While DHCP is enabled, if you want to assign a static IP
address to a client, click Static IP assign, then enter the
desired static IP address and the client’s MAC address.
Click Save Settings to save or Cancel Changes to cancel.
MTU The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) setting
specifies the largest packet size permitted for network
transmission. To manually set a value, select Manual and
enter the value desired in the Size field. You should leave
this value in the 1200 to 1500 range. The default is Auto,
which allows the HiPort to select the best MTU for your
Internet connection.
Network Setup
The Network Setup section allows you to change the
HiPort’s local network settings.
Router IP
The HiPort’s Local IP Address and Subnet Mask are shown

Static IP Assignment
Starting IP Address Enter a value for the DHCP server
to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the
default IP address for the HiPort is 192.168.29.1, the Start
IP Address must be 192.168.29.2 or greater, but smaller
than 192.168.29.254. The default Start IP Address is
192.168.29.100.
Maximum Number of DHCP Users Enter the maximum
number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign
IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253.
The default is 64.

Client Lease Time The Client Lease Time is the amount
of time a network user will be allowed connection to the
HiPort with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the
amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased”
this dynamic IP address. After the dynamic IP address has
expired, the user will be automatically assigned a new
dynamic IP address. The default is 0 minutes, which means
one day.
Static DNS 1-3 The Domain Name System (DNS) is how
the Internet translates domain or Website names into
Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with
at least one DNS Server IP Address. You can enter up to
three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The HiPort will use
these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers.
