LAN Configuration For the LAN Configuration, there are two types that you have to know, IP Address and DHCP Server. IP Address LAN Configuration allows you to define the public/private IP address over the LAN interface. Primary IP Address: Private IP address is used for the purpose of system management. When it is assigned, PC on the LAN is able to use the specified address to access this ADSL Router through Ethernet.
Page 44
The ADSL Router implements a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which dynamically assigns IP addresses and DNS server to the PCs on the LAN. DHCP function spares you the hassle of manually assigning a fixed IP address to each PC on the LAN. It is probably you already have a DHCP server on your network and you do not enable this function.

Frequency Domain: The frequency in which the radio links are about to be established. Desired Channel: The frequency in which the radio links are about to be established. Select channel that you want. Usually the wireless clients will scan the whole operable channels and then select the desired communications channel automatically.
WAN Configuration The ADSL Router supports for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) over ADSL. To set up connections over the WAN, you have to define ATM PVC interface for each remote connection. On this page, you can create, modify and delete PVC interface. You can select an existing ATM PVC interface and click Modify to edit its parameters or click Delete if you want to delete it.

At PPPoE, PPPoA, RFC1483 Routed and RFC1483 MER mode Configuration, you can select Specify an IP address or Server assigned IP address. Unless your ATM PVC is set on RFC1483 Bridged mode, you can check NAT box to enable NAT function. If you are using PPP (PPPoE or PPPoA) configuration mode, you need to fill in the user name and password and you can set the PPP session to Dial on demand or Always on mode.

Enable NAT on this interface: User Name/Password: Dial On Demand: Always On: Service Name: Service Server: Note: When you initially add a PVC for the PPP connection and connect to ISP, a default routing of 0.0.0.0 is added automatically to the IP Static Routing. If you set up more than one PVC profiles and the first PVC is deleted, then you have to manually add the default routing.
Netmask: The subnet mask of the destination IP address. Forward packets to: If you want add a rout on LAN side, you should choose the Gateway Address. Enter the router address and then click Apply. If you want add a rout on WAN side, you should choose the Interface.

local IP address you specify. After you setting the virtual server you should modify the filter rule whichever port and service you set on virtual server. Because the firewall has protect the route by filter rule so that you should update the filter rule after you set up virtual server.
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) allows one IP address (computer) to be exposed to the Internet. Some applications require multiple TCP/IP ports to be open. It is recommended that you set your computer with a static private IP address if you want to use DMZ. The DMZ Host settings allow one local user to be exposed to the Internet to use special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or Video-conferencing.

Bridge Mode Default Private IP PC(s) 192.168.1.1 PPPoE Client S/W Public IP assigned by BRAS Description: In this example, the ADSL Router acts as a bridge which bridging PC IP address from LAN to WAN. PC IP address can be a static public address that is pre-assigned by ISP or a dynamic public address that is assigned by ISP DHCP server, or can be got from PPPoE software.
MER Mode PC(s) PPPoE Clent Description: In this deployment environment, we make up a private IP network of 192.168.1.1. NAT function is enabled to support multiple clients to access Internet. In this example, the ADSL Router acts as NAT device, which translate a private IP address into a public address. Therefore multiple users can share with one public IP address to access Internet through this router.
PPPoA + NAT Mode Default Private IP 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.1 Ethernet PPP + NAT + DHCP on Private LAN PC(s) 192.168.1.2 * BRAS:Broadband Remote Access Server Description: In this deployment environment, the PPPoA session is between the ADSL WAN interface and BRAS. The ADSL Router gets a public IP address from BRAS when connecting to DSLAM.
PPPoE + NAT Mode 192.168.1.3 Ethernet PC(s) 192.168.1.2 Description: In this deployment environment, the PPPoE session is between the ADSL WAN interface and BRAS. The ADSL Router gets a public IP address from BRAS when connecting to DSLAM. The multiple client PCs will get private IP address from the DHCP server enabled on private LAN.
PPPoE Relay Default Private IP PC(s) 192.168.1.1 PPPoE Client S/W Description: In this example, the ADSL Router acts as a bridge which bridging PC IP address from LAN to WAN. Client PCs on the LAN should be equipped with PPPoE software to get public IP address from BRAS. That is to say, the router does not require a public IP address.
Multiple PVCs Mode PC(s) Description: As this ADSL Router supports multiple PVCs in the ADSL loop, you are allowed to configure several logical channels in one physical loop. You can use mixed encapsulation types by applying them to different PVCs. When the system starts up, it will connect to CO site through the PVCs according to the sequence they are created.
Chapter 6: Troubleshooting If the suggested solutions in this section do not resolve your issue, contact your system administrator or Internet service provider. Problems with LAN PCs on the LAN can not get IP addresses from the ADSL Router. The chances are that the interface used as DHCP server is modified and the clients PCs do not renew IP addresses. If your DHCP server is enabled on Private IP Address previously and you modify the interface to Public IP Address, the client PCs should renew IP addresses.
Request time out Then the DNS is not reachable. Check your DNS setting on the ADSL Router. Problems with Upgrading The following lists the error messages that you may see during upgrading and the action to take. Error Message: invalid checksum Possible cause: The firmware file to be used is damaged or the file format is wrong.
Page 69
Chapter 6: Troubleshooting Error Message: can’t allocate update buffer Possible cause: It may cause by the lack of memory. Action: Reboot your ADSL Router and perform the upgrade task again.
Chapter 7: Glossary ARP (Address Resolution Protocol ) ARP is a TCP/IP protocol for mapping an IP address to a physical machine address that is recognized in the local network, such as an Ethernet address. A host wishing to obtain a physical address broadcasts an ARP request onto the TCP/IP network.

Private IP Address Private IP addresses are also LAN IP addresses, but are considered “illegal” IP addresses to the Internet. They are private to an enterprise while still permitting full network layer connectivity between all hosts inside an enterprise as well as all public hosts of different enterprises.
