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

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.
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

Disable
Start IP Address: enter a numerical value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP
addresses. Do not start with 192.168.1.2 (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
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 Zon e: 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: MTX-ROUTER currently support DynDNS, freedns, Zoneedit, NO-IP, 3322,
easyDNS, TZO, DynSIP and Custom based on the user.
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

3.3.1.3 Clone MAC Address
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
Clone MAC address can clone three parts: Clone LAN MAC, Clone WAN MAC, Clone Wireless
MAC.
Noted that one MAC address is 48 characteristic, can not be set to the multicast address, the first
byte must be even. And MAC address value of network bridge br0 is determined by the smaller
value of wireless MAC address and LAN port MAC address.
3.3.1.4 Advanced Router
Operating Mode: Gateway and Router
If the router is hosting users' Internet connection, select Gateway mode. If another router exists on
their network, select Router mode.
Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing enables the router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's
layout and exchange routing tables with other routers. The router determines the network packets’
route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and destination.
To enable the Dynamic Routing feature for the WAN side, select WAN. To enable this feature for
the LAN and wireless side, select LAN&WLAN. To enable the feature for both the WAN and
LAN, select Both. To disable the Dynamic Routing feature for all data transmissions, keep the

Destination LAN NET: the Destination IP Address is the address of the network or host to which
users want to assign a static route
Subnet Mask: the Subnet Mask determines which portion of an IP address is the network portion,
and which portion is the host portion
Gateway: IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the router and the
network or host.
Interface: indicate users whether the Destination IP Address is on the LAN & WLAN (internal
wired and wireless networks), the WAN (Internet), or Loopback (a dummy network in which one
PC acts like a network, necessary for certain software programs)
