Dial on demand (with idle timeout timer): If this function is enabled, you need to enter the idle timeout time. Within the preset minutes, if the router does not detect the flow of the user continuously, the router automatically stops the PPPoE connection. Once it detects the flow (like access to a webpage), the router restarts the PPPoE dialup.

3.4.2 LAN Configuration You can use the LAN configuration to define an IP address for the DSL Router and configure the DHCP server.
Page 39
3.4.2.1 Defining the Private IP Address for the DSL Router In this page, you can change the IP address of the device. The preset IP address is 192.168.1.1. This is the private IP address of the DSL Router, under which the device can be reached in the local network.
After you install UPnP in the operating system of a PC and activate it in the router, applications on this PC (for example, Microsoft Messenger) can communicate via the Internet without authorization. In this case, the router automatically implements port forwarding, thereby facilitating communication via the Internet. The task bar in the PC in which UPnP is installed contains an icon for the DSL Router.
3.4.2.4 Configuring the DHCP Server The DSL Router has a DHCP server for which the factory setting is active. Consequently, the IP addresses of the PCs are automatically assigned by the DSL Router. Note: If the DHCP server for the DSL Router is activated, you can configure the network setting on the PC so that the option Obtain an IP address automatically is set up.

3.4.2.5 Reserve IP Address If you want to reserve one specific IP address for a certain PC by MAC address, edit the reserved IP Address List. 3.4.2.6 Configuring the Second IP Address and Subnet Mask for LAN Interface...
3.4.3 Note: The NAT information is not displayed in the bridge mode. Click Advanced Setup > NAT, and the following page appears. This part contains Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, and DMZ Host. Choose the item to do relative configurations. 3.4.4 Security Security is an important function of DSL.
Note: If the router is configured to bridge mode only, IP filtering is disabled and the IP filtering interface does not appear. If no PVC of Bridge mode is configured, MAC filtering is disabled and the MAC Filtering interface does not appear. 3.4.4.1 Outgoing IP Filtering Setup When setup of outgoing IP filtering rules is enabled on the router, various security functions for the local network are enabled at the same time.
Page 45
Click Add and the page for defining the IP filtering rule appears. In this page, you can create a filter rule to identify outgoing IP traffic by specifying a new filter name and at least one condition. All specified conditions in the filtering rule must be complied with the rule to take effect.
Page 46
Request I need to block PC1 whose IP address is 192.168.1.10. All outgoing UDP/TCP packet from that PC1 (192.168.1.10) is not allowed. Allow all outgoing traffic packet from PC2 (192.168.1.11). Configuration Step 1 By default, all outgoing IP traffic from LAN is allowed. Hence, all outgoing IP packets from PC2 are allowed.
Step 2 Click Save/Apply and the following page appears: 3.4.4.2 Incoming IP Filtering Setup The incoming IP filter is used to block and permit IP packet transmisstion from internet. By default incoming IP filter block all incoming packet from Internet. When incoming IP filtering rules setup being enable on the router, you can permit remote individual PC to access various local network service.
Page 48
Filter Name: Enter the name of incoming filter rule. Protocol: Select one from TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP, and ICMP protocols. Source IP address: Enter an IP address. After you set the IP address, the incoming packets (protocol selected packets) are allowed. Source port: UPD/TCP source port or a range of ports.
Page 49
Request I need to permit a PC whose IP address is 10.10.10.10. All Incoming TCP/UDP packet traffic from that PC (10.10.10.10) is allowed. Block all IP traffic from other PCS. Configuration Step 1 By default, all incoming IP traffic from Internet is blocked. Hence, all incoming IP packets from other PCS except PC (10.10.10.10) are blocked.
Step 3 Click Save/Apply and the following page appears: 3.4.4.3 Parental Control If you allow your children to access to the Internet in the specific time, add the schedule with the LAN MAC address of the device. Choose Security > Parental Control and the following page appears.
In this page, you can add time of day restriction to a specific LAN device connected to the Router. Enter the user name, select days of week and the blocking time, and click Save/Apply. The following page appears: 3.4.5 Quality of Service Many communication and multimedia applications require large, high speed bandwidths to transfer data between the local network and the Internet.
Page 52
Select Enable QoS to enable QoS and set the default DSCP mark. Click Save/Apply to active QoS. 3.4.5.2 QoS - Queue Configuration The queuing in packet QoS becomes effective only when packet is forwarded to QoS-enabled PVC. Packet forwarding is determined by IP routing or bridging, not under control of the packet QoS.
Page 53
Queue Configuration Status: Set to enable or disable a QoS queue. Queue: Select a specific network interface. The router automatically allocates selected network interface to the queue. Queue Precedence: Select an integer value for queue precedence. After you select an integer value, the queue entry appropriately places to ingress packets. Lower integer values for precedence imply higher priority for this queue relative to others.
Page 54
Click Add, and the following page appears. Traffic Class Name: Enter a name of the class. Rule Order: Select order for queue. Rule Status: Enable or disable this traffic class rule. Assign Classification Queue: Select a classification queue. Assign Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) Mark: Select a mark service that modifies the original packet IP header if all rules defined within the classification class are matched.
There are two sets of classification rules. Set-1 is based on different fields within TCP/UDP/IP layer plus physical LAN port; Set-2 is based on MAC layer IEEE 802.1p priority field. 802.1p priority: The 802.1p header includes a 3-bit prioritization field, which allows packets to be grouped into eight levels of priority (0-7), where level 7 is the highest one.
Use Default Gateway: Select the Enable automatic Assigned Default Gateway box. Custom DSL router Default Gateway Enable Automatic Assigned Default Gateway Use Default Gateway IP Address Use Interface: interface that the packets pass through on the router Click Save/Apply to apply the settings. 3.4.6.2 Static Routes Networking devices forward packets using route information that is either manually configured or dynamically learned using a routing protocol.
Adding Static Route Step 1 Enter destination network address. Step 2 Enter subnet Mask. Step 3 Enable Use Gateway IP Address and enter IP address. Step 4 Select use interface. Step 5 Click Save/Apply to apply the settings. Remove static route Select Remove box in the table, and click Remove to apply the settings.
3.4.8 In this interface, you can view the DSL settings. Normally, you can keep the factory default settings. The router support these modulations: G.Dmt, G.lite, T1.413, ADSL2, AnnexL, ADSL2+ and AnnexM. The router negotiates the modulation mode with the DSLAM. Click Advanced Settings, and the following page appears.
3.5 Diagnostics Click Diagnostics, and the following page appears. Your router is capable of testing your DSL connection. The individual tests are listed above. If a test displays a fail status, click Rerun Diagnostic Tests at the bottom of this page to make sure the fail status is consistent. If the test continues to fail, click Help and follow the troubleshooting procedures.
