WEBSHARE 243WM 3.6.3.3 System There are six items within the System section: Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart and User Management. 3.6.3.3.1 Time Zone The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network.
Upgrade: Click upgrade to begin the upload process. This process may take up to two minutes. Do NOT upgrade firmware on any Atlantis Land product over a wireless connection. Failure of the device may result. Use only hard-wired network connections.
WEBSHARE 243WM 3.6.3.3.4 Backup/Restore These functions allow you to save and backup your router’s current settings to a file on your PC, or to restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes. It is advisable to backup your router’s settings before making any significant changes to your router’s configuration.
WEBSHARE 243WM 3.6.3.3.5 Restart Click Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router and restore your last saved configuration. If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory default settings.

GRE: For PPTP VPN Connections. Assigned Data rate: Assign the data ratio for this policy to be controlled. For examples, we want to only allow 20% of the total data transfer rate for the LAN-to-WAN direction to be used for FTP server. Then we can specify here with data ratio = 20. If you have ADSL LINE with 256K/bps.rate, the estimated data rate, in kbps, for this rule is 20%*256*0.9 = 46kbps.

WEBSHARE 243WM E.G. 3.6.3.7.2 Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if your ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time.
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use the service, you must first apply for an account from this free Web server http://www.dyndns.org/. There are more than 8 DDNS servers supported.
