Chapter 5. System Settings

Determine your Connection Settings

Before you configure the router, you need to know the connection information supplied by your Internet
service provider.

Connecting the Fiber Router to your Network

Unlike a simple hub or switch, the setup of the Fiber Router consists of more than simply plugging everything
together. Because the Router acts as a DHCP server, you will have to set some values within the Router, and
also configure your networked PCs to accept the IP Addresses the Router chooses to assign them.

Generally there are several different operating modes for your applications. And you can know which mode is
necessary for your system from ISP. These modes are router, bridge, and PPPoE+NAT.

Configuring with Web Browser

It is advisable to change the administrator password to safeguard the security of your network. To configure
the router, open your browser, type “http: //192.168.1.1” into the address bar and click “Go” to get to the
login page.

Save this address in your Favorites for future reference.

5.1 Operation Mode

The FRT-405N supports three operation modes – Bridge, Gateway and WISP. Currently, the default setting is
Gateway mode.

Please note that Bridge mode and Gateway mode cannot be used simultaneously.
For Bridge mode, all interfaces are bridged into a single bridge interface.
For Gateway mode, the fiber port is treated as WAN port. The other interfaces are bridged together and are
treated as LAN ports.

For WISP Mode, all the Ethernet ports (including fiber port) are bridged together and the wireless interface of
this router will come to WAN port for connecting to an ISP’s Access Point as Internet connection. The NAT is
enabled and PCs in Ethernet ports share the same IP to ISP through wireless LAN. The connection type can
be set up on WAN page by using PPPoE, DHCP client, PPTP/L2TP client or static IP.

If you select Bridge mode and WAN configuration in Internet Settings that are not

available, firewall functions on the left page are not available, either.

After finishing the settings, click Apply to save the settings and enable the new configuration to take effect.
Click Cancel to close without saving.

WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows access points to communicate with one another wirelessly in a

standardized way. It can also simplify the network infrastructure by reducing the amount of cabling required.
Basically the access points will act as a client and an access point at the same time.

WDS is incompatible with WPA. Both features cannot be used at the same time. A WDS link is bi-directional,
so the AP must know the MAC address of the other AP, and the other AP must have a WDS link back to the
AP.

Dynamically assigned and rotated encryption key are not supported in a WDS connection. This means that
WPA and other dynamic key assignment technologies may not be used. Only Static WEP keys may be used
in a WDS connection, including any STAs that are associated with a WDS repeating AP.

Enter the MAC address of the other APs that you want to link to and click enable. Supports up to 4 point to
multipoint WDS links, check Enable WDS and then enable on the MAC addresses.

5.8.4 SNMP Configuration

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a popular protocol for network management. It is widely

used in local area networks (LAN) for collecting information, and managing and monitoring, network devices,
such as servers, printers, hubs, switches, and routers from a management host.

Managed devices that support SNMP including software are referred to as an SNMP agent, which usually
interacts with third-party SNMP management software to enable the sharing of network status information
between monitored devices and applications and the SNMP management system.

A defined collection of variables (managed objects) are maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage
the device. These objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which provides a standard
presentation of the information controlled by the on-board SNMP agent. SNMP defines both the format of the
MIB specifications and the protocol used to access this information over the network.

Choose Administration > SNMP configuration and the following page appears. You may enable SNMP
Configuration and Trap Configuration settings.

Bridge
A device connects two or more physical networks and forward packets between them. Bridges can usually be
made to filter packets, that is, to forward only certain traffic. Related devices are repeaters which simply
forward electrical signals from one cable to the other and full-fledged routers which make routing decisions
based on several criteria.

Broadband
Characteristic of any network multiplexes independent network carriers onto a single cable. Broadband
technology allows several networks to coexist on one single cable; traffic from one network does not interfere
with traffic from another. Broadcast a packet delivery system where a copy of a given packet is given to all
hosts attached to the network. Example: Ethernet.
