Establishing the Basic Configuration for Subscribers

When you have successfully established the start up configuration and installed the
unit onto the customer's network, connect to the AG-2000w via Telnet. You must
now set up the basic configuration parameters for subscribers, including:
Setting the DHCP Options –
Protocol) allows you to assign IP addresses automatically (to subscribers
who are DHCP enabled). The AG-2000w can "relay" the service through an
external DHCP server or it can be configured to act as its own DHCP server.
Setting the DNS Options –
subscribers to enter meaningful URLs into their browsers (instead of
complicated numeric IP addresses). DNS converts the URLs into the correct
IP addresses automatically.

Setting the DHCP Options

When a device connects to the network, the DHCP server assigns it a "dynamic" IP
address for the duration of the session. Most users have DHCP capability on their
computer. To enable this service on the AG-2000w, you can either enable the DHCP
relay (routed to an external DHCP server IP address), or you can enable the AG-
2000w to act as its own DHCP server. In both cases, DHCP functionality is necessary
if you want to automatically assign IP addresses to subscribers.
The AG-2000w's adaptive configuration technology provides Dynamic
Address Translation (DAT) functionality. DAT is automatically
configured to facilitate "plug-and-play" access to subscribers who are
misconfigured with static (permanent) IP addresses, or subscribers that
do not have DHCP capability on their computers. DAT allows all users
to obtain network access, regardless of their computer's network
settings.

By default, the AG-2000w is configured to act as its own DHCP server
and the relay feature is "disabled..". Please verify that your DHCP
Server supports DHCP packets before enabling the relay. Not all
devices containing DHCP servers (for example, routers) support DHCP
Relay functionality.
