Page 23: Network Settings
Network Settings When you select Network Settings in the left menu of the web page, five configuration options appear: DHCP Server, IP Alias, Multiple NAT, Route Settings and DDNS. Please refer to the corresponding section for these configurations. DHCP Server In DHCP Server settings, we assign the rage of the virtual IP addresses for the four LAN ports of SA.
Page 24 Under DHCP server settings, the SA defaults to assigning IPs 172.16.1.2 through 172.16.1.250...So depending on how many fixed IP devices they have, they can assign their device to an IP of 172.16.1.251 (through 254) as these IPs will not be handed out by the SA. If they have more devices or want a different IP range, then all they need to do is modify the range that the SA hands out so it does not hand out an IP in that range.
Page 25 To Disable the DHCP Server If you already have a DHCP server on your network, 1. Select Disable radio button 2. Click the apply button. Or you do not have DHCP server on your network, but you would like to assign a static IP address to each device connected to the LAN port of SA.
Page 26: Multiple Nat
Please follow the steps to add another network: 1. Enter “192.168.1.1” in IP Alias 1. 2. Enter “255.255.255.0” in Netmask of IP Alias 1. 3. Click the apply button. Note that the IP Alias 1, 192.168.1.1 is assigned to SA and the network is “192.168.1.x”.
Page 27: Route Settings
packets from always sending on the same IP address and the other IP address to sit idle. Multiple NAT solves this and allows you to increase the bandwidth. Multiple NAT allows you to dispatch your network packets evenly to these IP addresses provided by ISP. 1.
Page 28 (Routing Information Protocol). If the router supports RIP, it will automatically exchange routing information with SA and it is not necessary to set a static route. Please refer the steps and figures to set a static route. 1. Select Enable radio button in Routing Setup. 2.
Page 29 Internet. DDNS provides a simple, and in most cases free, solution. The Internet uses DNS servers to lookup domain names and translates then into IP addresses. Domain names, such as www.yahoo.com, are just easy to remember aliases for IP addresses. A dynamic DNS service provides a means of updating your IP address so that you listing will be current when your IP address changes.
Page 30: Firewall Settings
3. Enter the User name. The user name you log in DDNS service. 4. Enter the password. The password you log in DDNS service. 5. Enter the Host name. The host name you register in DDNS service. 6. Click the apply button. Every time your public IP changes, the SA will tell the DDNS server what your new IP address is.
Page 31: Virtual Server Settings
Virtual Server Settings The virtual server service is a way to simulate multiple servers on the intranet. You have several IP addresses within your LAN. These IPs are not visible to the users from the Internet. When servers are installed in the office that need to be seen from the Internet, we establish some forwarding rules to deal with the packet from the Internet users and direct the SA to forward the specific packets to the specific IP address.
Page 32: Url Filter Setup
or enter “0” in each field for none. 6. Click the apply button. URL Filter Setup The URL Filter function is used to restrict internal hosts from accessing specific URL locations. You deny any access to the URL location specified in the Site1, Site2 …Site10 fields.
Page 33: Ip Filter Setup
IP Filter Setup The IP filter function is similar to URL Filter. It provides further restrictions in access permission. URL Filtering only blocks port number 80 (HTTP). In IP filtering, you can assign a group of IP to be restricted. You can block four individual ports or a range of ports in the same time.
Page 34: Denial Of Service
Denial of Service It is highly recommended that the DoS Protection feature be enabled to prevent attacks on the network. However, if you allow someone to manage the router from outside or are running a web server, e-mail server, or FTP server, you should either disable Detect SYN Flood Attack or increase the TCP flow.
Page 35: Pptp Settings
PPTP Settings For most companies, the PPTP server creates a secure connection that a remote user can access a host within the company. The remote user has to run a PPTP client and connect to the PPTP server. The PPTP server has to validate the remote user as being in the User List in section 9.1.
Page 36: System Management

Page 39: Firmware Update
Firmware Update Updates and functionality can be added via this function. Please check the web for the latest firmware if you are having any issues. In general, no update should be needed unless it is recommended by technical support. Note: Do not do a firmware update over a wireless connection or power the unit down during a firmware update.
Page 40: Time Settings
Though it is not generally necessary, you should Restore factory default to make sure that new features and settings are implemented. Note: You must re-initialize the hard drive if you do this. Time Settings The NAS’s built-in clock should be adjusted to the current local time. This will insure accurate time reporting in the logs and file records.
Page 41 SNMP The SNMP agent allows users with SNMP client applications to conveniently inspect the network status of SA. Please follow the steps below to setup the SNMP agent. 1. Select the Enable radio button in the SNMP Agent field. 2. Enter the Community Name. Note that the agent side and the client side must use the same community name.
Page 42: System Reports
System Reports When you select System Reports in the left menu of the web page, four configuration items appear including; System Information, System Log, URL Log, and DHCP Lease Report. Please refer to the corresponding section for these configuration items.
