  • Page 17: Lan Configuration

    On one side of your router, you have your own Local Area Network (LAN) connections. This is where you connect your local computers to the AT-AR236E. The router is normally configured to automatically assign all computers on your network with Internet addresses.

  • Page 18: Diagnostics

    Reference Manual By turning off the DHCP Server and Relay, the network administrator must carefully configure the IP address, Subnet mask and DNS server addresses of every computer on your network. Do not assign the same IP address to more than one computer, and your router must be on the same subnet as all the other computers.

Figure 1-13: Advanced WAN Connection 5.5.1 On the other side of your router is where the Wide Area Network (WAN) connection resides; also referred to as a broadband connection.

  • Page 21: New Connection

    Reference Manual New Connection 5.5.2 A new connection is basically a virtual connection. Your router can support up to 8 different (unique) virtual connections. If you have multiple (different) virtual connections, you may need to utilise the static and dynamic routing capabilities of the router to pass data correctly. Figure 1-14: New Connection (PPPoE Connection Setup) ADSL Modulation 5.5.3...

  • Page 22: Quickstart

    Reference Manual Figure 1-15: ADSL Modulation (Modem Setup) Quickstart 5.5.4 PPPoA is also known as RFC 2364. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over ATM. PPP or Point to Point Protocol is a method of establishing a network connection/session between network hosts.

  • Page 23: Lan Configuration

    Reference Manual Figure 1-16: Quickstart (PPPoA Connection Setup) LAN Configuration 5.5.5 You can change the router’s IP address by selecting LAN under Advanced and then click LAN Configuration, followed by Configure. Your router’s default IP Address and Netmask are 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0; this subnet mask will allow the router to support 253 users.

    Reference Manual Port Forwarding 5.5.12 Using the Port Forwarding page, you can provide local services (e.g. web hosting) for people on the Internet or play online games. When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the router will forward those requests to the appropriate computer. Port Forwarding can be used with DHCP assigned addresses but remember that a DHCP address is dynamic, not static.

  • Page 30: Mac Filtering (Bridge Filters)

    Reference Manual MAC Filtering (Bridge Filters) 5.5.13 The bridge filtering mechanism provides a way for users to define rules to allow/deny frames through the bridge based on source/destination MAC addresses and/or frame type. When bridge filtering is enabled, each frame is examined against the defined filter rules sequentially. When a matched is determined, the appropriate filtering action (determined by the access type selected .

  • Page 31: Routing (Static Routing)

    Routing (Static Routing) 5.5.15 If the AT-AR236E is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a static route between them. A static route is a predefined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. You can use Static Routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through the AT-AR236E.

  • Page 32: Routing (Dynamic Routing)

    Routing (Dynamic Routing) 5.5.16 Dynamic Routing allows the AT-AR236E to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network. The router, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network.

  • Page 33: System Password

    Reference Manual Figure 1-28: Routing (Dynamic Routing) System Password 5.5.17 You can change your router’s username and password by clicking on System Password.
