    Configuring the LAN By default, your ADSL Router has DHCP server (LAN side) enabled. If you already have a DHCP server running on your network, you must disable one of the two DHCP servers; if you plug a second DHCP server into the network, you will experience network errors and the network will not function normally.

  • Page 19: Changing The Adsl Router Ip Address

    In addition to the DHCP server feature, the ADSL Router supports the DHCP relay function. When the ADSL Router is configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses to the LAN clients. When the ADSL Router is configured as DHCP relay, it is responsible for forwarding the requests and responses negotiating between the DHCP clients and the server.

    4.6.2 Port Forwarding Using the Port Forwarding page, you can provide local services (for example web hosting) for people on the Internet or play Internet games. When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the ADSL Router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Port forwarding can be used with DHCP assigned addresses but remember that a DHCP address is dynamic (not static).

  • Page 23: Advanced Security

    4.6.3 Advanced Security In the presence of the firewall, anonymous Internet traffic is blocked. Using the advanced security features, you can redirect this traffic to a dedicated computer on your local network (DMZ) or open the access from the Internet to the ADSL Router's management ports (web, telnet). To enable any of the advanced security features, click Advanced and configure the option under Firewall.
