FCC Certifications This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. [. . . ] The router will balance the load between all active WAN ports according to the Send/Receive rate of the WAN ports. You can setup an IP address for the router to detect if the WAN line is connected. If the router fails to ping the IP, it would recognize the WAN line as not connected, and will stop directing the Internet traffic to this WAN port. The Intranet users will not become aware of this change and keep surfing the Internet smoothly. When the other active WAN port fails to connect to the Internet, the backup WAN port will be activated and take over all the traffic. 37 Figure 2. 9 Parameter Speed Connectivity check Description The send/upstream and receive/downstream speed of the WAN line the WAN port is connected to. The router will ping that IP to verify if the WAN line can access the Internet. You also can select "Ping Default Gateway", and the router will check if the WAN line is ok by ping the default gateway of the WAN port. If you select "Enable", the WAN port will be activated when the system boot up. If you select "Backup", the WAN port is disabled on start up. But when other enabled WAN ports fail, the backup WAN port will be activated and take over all the traffic. Operation 2. 2. 8 DNS 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. If your Service Provider connects you to the Internet with 38 dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS server IP address is provided automatically. However, if there is a DNS server that you would rather use, you need to specify the IP address of that DNS server here. Figure 2. 10 Parameters Domain Name Server (DNS) Server Secondary DNS Address (optional) Description This is the ISP's DNS server IP address that they gave you; or you can specify your own preferred DNS server IP address This is optional. The secondary DNS will be used should the above DNS fail. Click Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advanced sections or start using the router (with the advanced settings in place). 2. 2. 9 DDNS DDNS allows you to map the static domain name to a dynamic IP address. You must get an account, password and your static domain name from the DDNS service providers. This router supports some DDNS service providers, for example DynDNS and TZO. 39 Figure 2. 11 Parameters WAN Port Enable/Disable Provider Domain name Account/E-mail Password/Key Default Description Select the WAN port that you want to configure the DDNS for Disable DynDNS Enable/Disable the DDNS function of this router Select a DDNS service provider Your static domain name that use DDNS The account that your DDNS service provider assigned to you The password you set for the DDNS service account above Click Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advanced sections or start using the router (with the advanced settings in place). 40 2. 3 LAN The LAN Port screen below allows you to specify a private IP address for your router's LAN ports as well as a subnet mask for your LAN segment. Figure 2. 12 41 Parameters LAN IP address IP Subnet Mask 802. 1d Spanning Tree DHCP Server Default 192. 168. 2. 1 255. 255. 255. 0 Disabled Description This is the router's LAN port (private) IP address (Your LAN clients' default gateway IP address) Specifies a Subnet Mask for your LAN segment If the 802. 1d Spanning Tree function is enabled, this router will use the spanning tree protocol to prevent network loops from occurring among the LAN ports. 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 clients' IP addresses; make sure the LAN Client is in the same subnet as the router if you want the router to be your LAN clients' default gateway When DHCP is enabled, it will temporarily give your LAN clients an IP address. In the Lease Time setting you can specify the time period that the DHCP lends an IP address to your LAN clients. [. . . ] This is a convenient and efficient method for routers to route IP packets to their destination. 80 ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). [. . . ]
