1.4.3 OPERATING SYSTEMS The UT-300R2U uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web configuration manager may be accessed using any operating system capable of running web browser software, including Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
It may be necessary to install software on client computers that enables them to access the Internet. Additional software must be installed if UT-300R2U is used as a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another computer or gateway device, not in the Router itself. This software may be a form of PPP client software that is provided by your ADSL service.

Chapter 4 Other Configuration 4 OTHER CONFIGURATION You can configure the LAN IP address to suit your preference. Many users will find it convenient to use the default settings together with DHCP service to manage the IP settings for their private network. The IP address of the Router is the base address used for DHCP.
Chapter 4 Other Configuration 4.1.1 DHCP SERVER CONFIGURATION To use the built-in DHCP server, click the DHCP Server radio button. The IP Address Pool settings can be adjusted. The Start IP Address is the lowest available IP address (default = 192.168.1.3).

Chapter 4 Other Configuration 4.3 MULTIPLE VIRTUAL CONNECTION CONFIGURATION The Router supports multiple virtual connections. Up to eight PVCs to eight separate destinations can be created and operated simultaneously utilizing the same bandwidth. Additional PVC connections can be added for various purposes.
Chapter 4 Other Configuration The ATM Interface pull-down menu offers eight virtual connections available for configuration. The default PVC used by the Router is labeled PVC-0. Any additional connections that are configured must have a VPI/VCI combination that is unique to the Router. These numbers will have been already been established by your service provider on their network.
Chapter 4 Other Configuration 4.5 VIRTUAL SERVER CONFIGURATION To customize inbound port mapping of NAT for a Single User Account using one global IP address, click the Virtual Server link. The following window appears: Virtual Server window By default, NAT will map all ports according to the traditional IP NAT protocol.

Chapter 4 Other Configuration 4.8 ROUTING CONFIGURATION Use Static Routing to specify a route used for data traffic within your Ethernet LAN or to route data on the WAN. This specifies that all packets destined for a particular network or subnet use a predetermined gateway. To add a static route to a specific destination IP on the local network, click the Routing button on the left-side of the main window.
Chapter 4 Other Configuration 4.9 DMZ CONFIGURATION Since some applications are not compatible with NAT, the Router supports use of a DMZ IP address for a single host on the LAN. This IP address is not protected by NAT and will therefore be visible to agents on the Internet with the right type of software.
Chapter 4 Other Configuration 4.10 FIREWALLCONFIGURATION The Firewall Configuration window allows the Router to enforce specific predefined policies intended to protect against certain common types of attacks. There are two general types of protection (DoS, Attack) that can be enabled on the Router, as well as filtering for specific packet types sometimes used by hackers. You can choose to enable or disable protection against a pre-selected basket of attack and scan types.
Chapter 4 Other Configuration A DoS "denial-of-service" attack is characterized by an explicit attempt by attackers to prevent legitimate users of a service from using that service. Examples include: attempts to "flood" a network, thereby preventing legitimate network traffic, attempts to disrupt connections between two machines, thereby preventing access to a service, attempts to prevent a particular individual from accessing a service, or, attempts to disrupt service to a specific system or person.

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting 6 TROUBLESHOOTING 6.1 CONFIGURING IP SETTINGS ON YOUR COMPUTER In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must first have the TCP/IP protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol installed. If you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard installations.
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting 6.1.1 CONFIGURE WINDOWS XP FOR DHCP Use the following steps to configure a computer running Windows XP to be a DHCP client. From the Start menu on your desktop, go to Settings, then click on Network Connections. In the Network Connections window, right-click on LAN (Local Area Connection), then click Properties.
Page 65
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting In the General tab of the Local Area Connection Properties menu, highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) under “This connection uses the following items:” by clicking on it once. Click on the Properties button. Select “Obtain an IP address automatically” by clicking once in the circle. Click the OK button. Your computer is now ready to use the Router’s DHCP server.
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting 6.1.2 WINDOWS 2000 First, check for the IP protocol and, if necessary, install it: In the Windows task bar, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click the Network and Dial-up Connections icon. In the Network and Dial-up Connections window, right-click the Local Area Connection icon, and then select Properties.
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting 6.1.4 WINDOWS 95 AND WINDOWS 98 First, check for the IP protocol and, if necessary, install it: In the Windows task bar, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click the Network icon. The Network dialog box displays with a list of currently installed network components.
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting The Protocols tab displays a list of currently installed network protocols. If the list includes TCP/IP, then the protocol has already been enabled. Skip to “Configure IP Information” If TCP/IP does not display as an installed component, click Add. In the Select Network Protocol dialog box, select TCP/IP, and then click OK.
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting 6.2 LOW PASS FILTERS FOR ADSL Most ADSL clients will be required to install a simple device that prevents the ADSL line from interfering with regular telephone services. These devices are commonly referred to as microfilters or low pass filters. There are two basic styles of low pass filters commonly used.
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting 6.2.2 THREE PORT FILTER Another style of filter is installed at the same point where the Router connects to the telephone line. Only a single filter is required. The connection ports are typically labeled as follows: • Line - This port connects to the wall jack.
