Certainly this connection type is also used by PPTP Layer-2 VPN application. Where My IP address and Server IP address are the router (PPTP client) and ADSL Modem (PPTP server) IP address respectively. My Gateway is optional if PPTP client and server are in the same subnet. For Layer-2 VPN application, this field is necessary typically. - Page 21 LAN IP Address: The IP address of router as it is seen on the internal LAN user. DHCP Server is enabled by default. If LAN IP is changed, the administrator maybe lost connection with router when they are not in the same LAN subnet.
- Page 22 OFFER DNS : offer client with DNS proxy + discovered ISP DNS or use pre-defined DNS Assign fixed IP to MAC: If there are some computers, like web/E-mail server which will be assigned a fixed IP by DHCP server, you can set those computers with their own predefined IP. Those computers will be identified by their MAC address.

Page 24: Telnet Configuration
3.2 Telnet Configuration The router also provide the Command Line Interface (CLI) for simple configuration. It is implemented by the Telnet protocol. Thus it just like the Sec. 3.2 Web configuration, the TCP/IP network should be setup correctly. Then it is possible to use the Telnet configuration. Similarly, Telnet 192.168.8.1 to enter the configuration main menu. -
Page 25: Chapter 4 Firewall And Advanced Functions
Chapter 4 Firewall And Advanced Functions Besides the native protection features from NAT, SOHO Router provide lots of advanced functions which are popular in most firewall devices such as MAC addr. filtering, IP addr. filtering, TCP/UDP service port blocking, URL keyword blocking, virtual server, DMZ and intrusion event log. (It is stored into internal buffer, please refer to 3.1.2) 4.1 Access Control “Access control”... -
Page 26: Mac Filter
This function is used to inhibit some LAN clients (by IP address) from accessing Internet resources. Since all inhibiting LAN client is recognized by its IP address. Thus, no matter the inhibiting LAN client’s IP address is assigned by DHCP server or manual setting, this function always works well. 4. -
Page 27: Service Time Allocation
MAC address is a network address. It can be inquired with “C:>IPCONFIG /all” command in PC Windows system. (“C:>WINIPCFG” for Win9x/Me) Or lookup the router’s DHCP client list for desired computer’s MAC address. 4.3 Service Time Allocation “Service Time Allocation” allow administrator to control the SOHO Router’s LAN-to-WAN service is available or disabled at some moment. -
Page 28: Lan Pc Management
One is to specify the maximum continuous service period. This is primarily used for parental control in home/family application. It could protect children from surfing Internet continuously for more than a pre-defined period X. In the meanwhile, SOHO Router will still stop service until period Y is expired. The other mechanism is simply dependent on a daily time zone. -
Page 29: Url Keyword Blocking
Besides the service time allocation mechanism, the router also provide another time based management for each individual LAN client PCs (up to 8 PCs). Since each PC is identified uniquely by its hardware MAC address, and each PC has its own weekly time table. As a result, it is useful for administrator to control a small group of PCs with a precise service time schedule. -
Page 30: Virtual Server
Press [Save&Restart] button after filling keywords. 4.6 Virtual Server Generally NAT based router/firewall filters out all unrecognized packets from WAN in order to protect your Internal LAN computers; therefore all LAN computers behind SOHO Router are invisible to the outside Internet. However, some Internet servers (like WWW, FTP, E-mail …) should be visible and accessible by outside Internet. -
Page 31: Dmz
For example, if you have an FTP server (port21) at 192.168.8.5, a mail server (port110) at 192.168.8.6,and a VPN server at 192.168.8.7,then you need to specify the virtual server as: WAN IP + port 21 192.168.8.5 + port 21 WAN IP + port 110 192.168.8.6 + port 110 WAN IP + port 1723 192.168.8.7 + port 1723... -
Page 32: Multiple Dmz Host
in DMZ are more compatible with Internet applications. Certainly, they seem to be dangerous in comparison with those other computers in LAN. SOHO Router generally allows a computer in LAN to be logically exposed to Internet with unrestricted 2-way communication capability. This is very useful whenever you encounter some incompatible issues (especially for online game or audio/video conference), most likely to turn-on DMZ feature could can avoid this problems. - Page 33 In general, the mechanism of multiple DMZ host is based the mapping relation between WAN IP and LAN IP. (shown below). And these DMZ host IP will skip NAT port translation handling to gain WAN IP1 SOHO Router LAN IP1 (DMZ host1) WAN IP2 SOHO Router LAN IP2 (DMZ host2)
- Page 34 Figure 4-1 Bridging mode Unfortunately, the multiple DMZ host can’t work if in Figure 4-1 configuration. Because SOHO Router can actually receive only one IP address’s packets instead of 5 IP address’s packets. In such condition, bridging mode option could be used to support Multiple DMZ if PC1 – PC4 are moved Behind the SOHO Router.
