NAT (Network Address Translation)

An IETF standard that allows an organization to present itself to the Internet with
far fewer IP addresses than there are nodes on its internal network. The NAT
technology, which is typically implemented in a router, converts the private IP
addresses (such as in the 10.0.0.0 range) of the node on the internal private
network to one IP address or one of several IP addresses for the public Internet.

NAT not only conserves public IP addresses, but it also ser ves as a firewall by
keeping internal addresses hidden from the outside world. Implementations also
often include port address translation (PAT), which can alter the port numbers in
the header, adding another level of differentiation.

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet)

A standard for incorporating the popular PPP protocol, widely used for dial-up
Internet connections, into a cable modem connection that uses Ethernet as its
transport to the carrier's facilities. Used by a large number of cable modem
providers, PPPoE supports the protocol layers and authentication widely used in
PPP and enables a point-to-point connection to be established in the normally
multipoint architecture of Ethernet.

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)

A protocol from Microsoft that is used to create a vir tual private network (VPN) over
the Internet. It uses encryption based on RSA's RC4, known as Microsoft Point-to­Point Encryption (MPPE). Remote users can access their corporate networks via
any ISP that supports PPTP on its ser vers.

SUA Single User Account (SUA)

Allows multiple workstations on your LAN to access the Internet for the price of an
individual account. SUA accomplishes this through a mechanism called Network
Address Translation (NAT) that makes your whole LAN appear as a single host to
the Internet. You may hear other names such as “IP masquerading” or “IP
sharing”, but basically they mean the same thing.

If your ISP assigns you no address at all or only one IP address, then you have a
single user account, and so you must enable SUA.

You can designate one inside server machine on your LAN to be accessible to the
outside world under SUA. Please note that this one machine can host multiple
services, e.g., you can run a web server, an FTP server and a telnet ser ver all on one
machine. SUA offers the added benefit of firewalling if you do not define a ser ver.

TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)

A version of the TCP/IP FTP protocol that has no directory or password capability.

UPnP (Universal Plug aNd Play)

A set of standards for interoperability of networking devices from Microsoft and the
UPnP Forum. UPnP extends the Plug and Play concept to network devices so that
they can be installed and set up without manual intervention. For example, the
UPnP Internet Gateway specification enables residential Internet gateways to be
automatically configured to handle multiple PCs in a home network.

GLOSSARY

DNS (Domain Name System)

Name resolution software that lets users locate computers on a UNIX network or
the Internet (TCP/IP network) by domain name. The DNS server maintains a
database of domain names (host names) and their corresponding IP addresses. In
this hypothetical example, if www.mycompany.com were presented to a DNS
server, the IP address 204.0.8.51 would be returned.

DDNS (Dynamic DNS)

The ability to automatically update a DNS server when an IP address is
automatically assigned (typically from DHCP) to a network device.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

Software that automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a
TCP/IP network. It eliminates having to manually assign permanent IP addresses.
DHCP software typically runs in ser vers and is also found in network devices such
as ISDN routers and modem routers that allow multiple users access to the
Internet. Newer DHCP servers dynamically update the DNS servers after making
assignments.

IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol)

The protocol that governs the management of multicast groups in a TCP/IP
network. To sign up for a multicast group, a Host Membership Report is sent by a
user's machine to its nearest routers, which forward that data to routers outside
the local network. The routers are kept current by polling the users' machines with
Host Membership Query messages.

ISP (Internet service provider)

An organization that provides access to the Internet. Small Internet service
providers (ISPs) provide service via modem and ISDN while the larger ones also
offer private line hookups (T1, fractional T1, etc.). Customers are generally billed
a fixed rate per month, but other charges may apply. For a fee, a Web site can be
created and maintained on the ISP's server, allowing the smaller organization to
have a presence on the Web with its own domain name. America Online (AOL),
Earthlink, and Microsoft Network (MSN), are all ISPs.

Multicast

In communications networks, to transmit a message to multiple recipients at the
same time. Multicast is a one-to-many transmission similar to broadcasting,
except that multicasting means sending to specific groups, whereas broadcasting
implies sending to everybody. When sending large volumes of data, multicast
saves considerable bandwidth, because the bulk of the data is transmitted once
from its source through major backbones and are multiplied, or distributed out, at
switching points closer to the end users.

Corrective Action

1) Make sure that you have the correct 9V DC
power adapter connected to the Router and
that it is plugged into an appropriate power
source.

2) If the error persists, you may have a hardware
problem. Please contact your local dealer or
reseller.

1) Verify that the browser and the browser’s URL
are correct (192.168.1.1)

2) Verify that your TCP/IP is set to "DHCP
Server".

3) Check your Ethernet cable type and
connections. Ensure your NIC is functioning
properly.

1) The WAN IP is provided after the ISP verifies
the MAC address, host name and user ID.

2) Find out the verification method used by your
ISP and configure the corresponding fields.

3) If the ISP authenticates the WAN MAC
address, click MAINTENANCE ➞ DHCP table
