When you are satisfied with your IP address settings, click the OK button. Congratulations! Y ou have completed the basic router configuration requir ed for a PPTP connection.
17 Chapter 3: General Settings The General Setup section contains advanced features that allow you to configur e your router to meet your network’s needs. Fr om here you can: assign passwor ds, set up remote management access, configur e your LAN and W AN settings, or set up a firewall, DMZ, or many other functions.
18 System The system screen allows you to specify a time zone, change the system passwor d, and specify a remote management user for the r outer . T ime Zone The time zone screen lets you specify the time zone you ar e in, as well as choose if and when you want daylight savings enabled.
19 Password Settings The Password Settings scr een allows you to change the password r equir ed to access the broadband r outer ’s web-based management interface. By default, there is no passwor d. It is recommended that you assign a passwor d as soon as possible.
20 Remote Management The remote management function allows you to designate an Internet host who can access and configure the br oadband router fr om a r emote location. NOTE: T o access the web-based management interface from a remote site, enter the router ’s W AN IP addr ess followed by port number 8080 (i.
21 WA N Most of the W AN settings are identical to the Broadband T ype selection process you went through in the Quick Setup W izard. Y ou also have the option of choosing your DNS server or setting the router to bridge mode. T o change your W AN connection to Cable Modem, PPPoE, PPTP , or Fixed-IP xDSL, turn to Broadband T ype on page 12 .
22 DNS If there is a Domain Name System (DNS) server that you would pr efer to use instead of the DNS server provided by your ISP , you can specify it here. When you are satisfied with your DNS settings, click Apply . Parameter Description Domain Name Server (DNS) Enter the IP addr ess of the DNS server you wish to Address use.
23 Bridge From this scr een you can set your broadband r outer to bridge mode and assign an IP address for management purposes. When bridge mode is selected, the r outer essentially connects and enables packet forwarding between homogenous networks.
24 Example: Bridge Mode In this example of a bridged network, a computer on Network A is able to communicate with a computer on Network B by sending a message to IP addr ess 192.168.2.1, which in turns sends a message to 172.25.3.14, which in turn sends the message to the computer on Network B.
25 LAN The LAN port settings page allows you to specify a private IP addr ess for your router ’s LAN port and specify a range of IP addr esses for your DHCP server to issue to your LAN clients. When you are satisfied with your LAN settings, click Apply .
26 NA T Network Address T ranslation (NA T) helps you conserve IP addr esses by allowing many multiple local users to access the Internet through far fewer public IP addresses. NA T also provides fir ewall protection fr om hacker attacks and allows you to map private IP addresses to public IP addresses for key services such as websites or FTP .
27 V irtual Server Use the V irtual Server function when you want different servers/clients in your LAN to handle specific applications (e.g., email, FTP , web server). Using different port numbers, computers can recognize a particular application pr ocess or network service.
28 Example: V irtual Server The diagram below demonstrates one of the ways you can use the V irtual Server . Private IP: 192.168.2.2 Private Port: 80 (HTTP) T ype: TCP Public Port: 80 (HTTP) In this example, the user wants the web server on their private LAN to be accessible to Internet users.
29 Special Applications Some applications (like Internet games, video conferencing, Internet telephony and others) requir e multiple connections. The Special Applications function allows you to configure the r outer to support multiple connections for these types of applications.
30 Example: Special Applications T o run special applications, you need to know the port (outbound) information associated with that application. In the example on the previous page, ther e are thr ee special application rules enabled.
31 Firewall The router can pr ovide extensive firewall pr otection. Y ou can restrict certain users/hosts from using certain applications, block common hacker attacks, and be informed by email if an attack on your network occurs.
32 Access Control The Access Control featur e allows you to r estrict users from accessing specific Internet applications and services (e.g., email, FTP , Internet websites). Y ou can also set time restrictions on users and applications so that certain users can only access certain applications during specified times.
33 Example: Access Control In the screen shot on the pr evious page, there ar e two access contr ol restrictions in place. The client at IP addr ess 192.168.2.1 is r estricted from using port 80 (HTTP) at all times. The clients with IP addr esses between 192.
34 Hacker Prevention The router ’s fir ewall can block common hacker attacks (including Denial of Service, Ping of Death, and RIP defect) and can alert you by email if your network is under attack. When you are satisfied with your Hacker Pr evention settings, click Apply .
35 DMZ The DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) feature allows a LAN client to have unr estricted two- way access to the Internet by bypassing the router ’s fir ewall.
36 Chapter 4: Status The Status section allows you to monitor the status of your router . From the Status page you can view your router ’s system information, Internet connection status, configuration settings, any illegal attempts to enter your network, and information on all DHCP client PCs currently connected to the network.
