    L-510 is shipped with a standard PPP configuration. Logging into your Lynx L-510 To configure your Lynx L-510, open your web browser. You may get an error message at this point; this is normal. Type the default IP address (192.168.1.1) or login.router on on the web address bar.
  • Page 16: Basic

    Upon entering the default IP address or the short-cut name (login.router), if the user is first time login, the user will be brought to the “Quick Start” page. See Fig 1.5. The Quick Start page is meant for basic users whom only require easy connectivity to the Internet without worrying about any other advance configuration setting.
  • Page 17: Lan / Dhcp Configuration

    6.2.1 LAN / DHCP Configuration On one side of your Lynx L-510, you have your own Local Area network (LAN) connections. This is where you plug in your local computers to the Lynx L-510.

This feature requires one active DSL connection. In presence of multiple DSL connections, select the one over, which the incoming traffic will be present, for example the default Internet connection.
  • Page 30: Sntp

    6.3.9 SNTP SNTP (Simple Network Timing Protocol) is a protocol used to synchronize the system time to the public SNTP servers. It uses the UDP protocol on port 123 to communicate between clients and servers. When the SNTP feature is enabled, your DSL600EU will start querying for the time clock information from the primary SNTP server.

    Figure 1-25: IP QoS 6.3.12 IGMP Multicast If the Lynx L-510 is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-defined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through the Lynx L-510.

  • Page 36: 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 Lynx L-510 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 37 IP address is not reassigned. Also remember that if an Internet user is trying to access an Internet application, they must use the WAN IP address. The port forwarding will translate the WAN IP address into a LAN IP address. To configure a service, game, or other application select the external connection (for example the Internet connection), from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select Port Forwarding.
