LevelOne WBR-1101TX User Guide
DNS (Domain Name Server
•
These entries are optional. The main DNS (Domain Name Server) is either provided by
your ISP, or entered on the Quick Setup screen.
•
If desired, enter any other DNS IP Addresses here. The first available DNS will be used.

NAT (Network Address Translation)

NAT allows PCs on your LAN to share a single external (Internet) IP Address. This IP Ad-
dress is supplied by your ISP. Use the following to determine whether or nor you need NAT.
•
For Internet access, NAT must be left On unless all PCs on your LAN have valid external
IP Addresses.
•
If this device is not being used to provide shared Internet access, NAT is not normally
required. With NAT disabled, the LevelOne WBR-1101TX will act as a static router.
•
If NAT is disabled, the Firewall protection provided by the LevelOne WBR-1101TX is
lost, and the Advanced Internet features (Virtual Servers, Special Applications, and DMZ)
are no longer available.

TFTP

TFTP (Trivial FTP) can be used to upgrade the firmware in the LevelOne WBR-1101TX.
However, this is not normally required; there is a Windows utility available for this purpose.

Remote Management

This feature allows you to manage the LevelOne WBR-1101TX via the Internet.
Enable Remote
Management
Port Number
Current IP Address
To connect from a remote PC via the Internet
1. Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser.
Enable to allow management via the Internet. If Disabled, this
device will ignore management connection attempts from the WAN
port.
Enter a port number between 1024 and 65535 (8080 is recom-
mended). This port number must be specified when you connect
(see below).
Note: The default port number for HTTP (Web) connections is port
80, but using port 80 here will prevent the use of a Web "Virtual
Server" on your LAN. (See Advanced Internet - Virtual Servers)
You must use this IP Address to connect (see below).
This IP Address is allocated by your ISP. But if using a Dynamic
IP Address, this value can change each time you connect to your
ISP. So it is better if your ISP allocates you a Fixed IP Address.
