[. . . ] By default, it is enabled. TCP MTU Option MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) determine the maximum size of each packet in any transmission within the network. Please specify the MTU range from 100 to 1500 bytes or 0 byte as the default value. Dynamic Route Dynamic routing allows routing tables in routers to change as the possible routes change. This router supports RIP1, RIP2-B and RIP2-M protocols for dynamic routing. After the RIP protocol is selected, please choose the RIP direction from "None", "Both", "IN Only" or "OUT Only". 28 Parameter Multicast Description Specify the method of transmitting data simultaneously to many receivers. Please select "IGMP v1" or "IGMP v2" as the multicast protocol or select "Disabled" to disable the function. 5. 2. 2. LAN Router Local IP Parameter IP Address Description Enter the IP Address of the ADSL router for the local user to access the router's web page. By default, the IP Address is 192. 168. 2. 1. 29 Parameter IP Subnet Mask Description Enter the Subnet Mask of the ADSL router. Dynamic routing allows routing tables in routers to change as the possible routes change. This router supports RIP1, RIP2-B and RIP2-M protocols for dynamic routing. After the RIP protocol is selected, please choose the RIP direction from "None", "Both", "IN Only" or "OUT Only". Dynamic Route Multicast Specify the method of transmitting data simultaneously to many receivers. Please select "IGMP v1" or "IGMP v2" as the multicast protocol or select "Disabled" to disable the function. IGMP Snoop When "IGMP Snoop" (Internet Group Management Protocol Snoop) is enabled, the router can make intelligent multicast forwarding decisions by examining the contents of each frame's IP header. Without the function, the router will broadcast the multicast packets to each port and may create excessive traffic in the network and degrade the performance of the network. DHCP Parameter DHCP Description You can enable or disable the DHCP server. By enabling the DHCP server the router will automatically give your LAN clients an IP address. If the DHCP is not enabled then you'll have to manually set your LAN client's IP addresses. Starting IP Address If the DHCP Server is enabled, please set the "Starting 30 IP Address" which will be the first IP Address assigned to the LAN client. IP Pool Count You can select a particular IP address range for your DHCP server to issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients. The IP range is starting from IP 192. 168. 2. 100 to 192. 168. 2. 199. Parameter Lease Time Description In the Lease Time setting you can specify the time period that the DHCP Server lends an IP address to your LAN clients. The DHCP will change your LAN client's IP address when this time threshold period is terminated. DNS Relay A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, such as "www. router. com", a DNS server will find that name in its index and the matching IP address . Pleas e selec t "Us e Auto Discovered DNS Server Only" to auto set the DNS Server. If there is a DNS server that you would rather to use, please select "Use Discovered DNS Server Only" and you need to specify the IP address of that DNS server. Primary DNS Server Enter the ISP's DNS Server IP Address; or you can specify your own preferred DNS Server IP Address. Secondary DNS Server This is optional. The secondary DNS will be used should the Primary DNS fail. 31 5. 2. 3. Wireless(For AR-7084gA / AR-7084gB Only ) Access Point Settings Parameter Access Point Description Activated or deactivated the wireless function of the router. When it is activated, the router will be an access point for other wireless clients to connect wirelessly. [. . . ] PPPoE (RFC 2516) This document describes how to build PPP sessions and encapsulate PPP packets over Ethernet. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) provides the ability to connect a network of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote Access Concentrator. Protocol A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple parties so that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of their behavior is well defined and can be made objectively, without confusion or misunderstanding. PVC Permanent Virtual Circuit, connection-oriented permanent leased line circuit between end-stations on a network over a separate ATM circuit. [. . . ]
