Installing The Lynx L- 320 Chapter 4 Locate a suitable location for the Lynx L-320. For connections to the Ethernet and DSL interfaces, please refer to the Quick Guide. Connect the AC Power Adapter. Depending upon the type of network, you may want to put the power supply on an uninterruptible supply (UPS). -
Page 13: Chapter 5 Setting Up The Lynx L-320
L-320 is shipped with a standard PPP configuration. Logging into your Lynx L-320 To configure your Lynx L-320, 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 14: 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 “Basic” page. See Fig 1.3. The Basic page is meant for basic users whom only require easy connectivity to the Internet without worrying about any other advance configuration setting. -
Page 15: Lan / Dhcp Configuration
LAN / DHCP Configuration On one side of your Lynx L-320, you have your own Local Area network (LAN) connections. This is where you plug in your local computers to the Lynx L-320. The Lynx L-320 is normally configured to automatically provide all the PC's on your network with Internet addresses. - Page 16 IP address, Subnet Mask and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Do not assign the same IP address to more than one computer and your Lynx L-320 must be on the same subnet as all the other computers.

Page 17: Diagnostic Test
Diagnostic Test Diagnostic Test is used for investigating whether the Lynx L-310 is properly connected to the WAN Network. See Fig 1-7. This test may take a few seconds to complete. To perform the test, select your connection from the list and press the Test button. -
Page 18: Ping Test
WAN and the LAN sides are complete and you have the proper protocols configured, you should be able to surf the Internet. By default when you select ping test, the Lynx L-320 will ping itself 3 times. The Lynx L-320 passed the Ping test; this basically means that the TCP/IP protocol is up and running. -

Page 20: Wan Connection
WAN Connection 5.5.1 On the other side of the Lynx L-320 is where your Wide Area Network (WAN) connection; also referred to as a broadband connection. This WAN connection is different for every WAN supplier. Most of the configuration you will perform will be in this area. -
Page 21: Quickstart
Figure 1-13: ADSL Modulation (Modem Setup) Quickstart 5.5.4 PPPoE is also known as RFC 2516. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over Ethernet. PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a method of establishing a network connection/session between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of authenticating users. - Page 22 Idle Timeout: Specifies that PPPoE connection should disconnect if the link has no activity detected for n seconds. This field is used in conjunction with the On-Demand feature. To ensure that the link is always active, enter a 0 in this field. Keep Alive: When on-demand option is not enable, this value specifies the time to wait without being connected to your provider before terminating the connection.

Page 23: Lan Configuration (Vlan)
LAN Configuration (VLAN) 5.5.5 The Virtual LANs (VLANs) is a group of devices on different physical LAN segments, which can communicate with each other as if there are all in the same physical LAN segment. VLANs provide a number of benefits over the network. - Page 24 Figure 1-16 : Create New bridge PVC Figure 1-17 : Three bridge PVCs are created Upon creation, the bridge PVCs are attached to LAN Group 1. They can be moved to other LAN Groups by selecting the name, clicking Remove beside the LAN Group, select again from the Interfaces box and clicking Add beside the new LAN Group.

Page 26: Lan Clients
Figure 1-19: LAN Clients Application (UPnP) 5.5.7 UPnP, NAT and Firewall Traversal allow traffic to pass-thru the Lynx L-320 for applications using the UPnP protocol. 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 27: Sntp
Figure 1-20: UPnP SNTP 5.5.8 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. -
Page 28: Snmp
Polling Interval - Time between a successful connection with a SNTP server and a new attempt to connect to an SNTP server. Retry Count - The number of times the DSL600EU will try to connect to an SNTP server before it try to connect to the next server in line. Time Zone - The time zone of the DSL600EU. -
Page 29: Ip Qos
Figure 1-22: SNMP Management 5.5.10 IP QoS When QoS is enabled in the AR7, the designated machine, application or person would have precedence over peers when competing for bandwidth. The IP QoS Setup page allows you to configure QoS for a connection, view previously configured QoS rules, add a new rule, or delete an existing rule. -
Page 30: Igmp Multicast
Figure 1-23: IP QoS 5.5.11 IGMP Multicast If the Lynx L-320 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-320. -
Page 31: 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-320 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 32: Mac Filtering (Bridge Filters)
assuming that your WAN connection is correct, you can run Netmeeting from your server and call users that are on the Internet. If you know your WAN IP address, users can call you. See Fig 1-25.

Page 34: Routing (Static Routing)
Figure 1-27: Access Control 5.5.15 Routing (Static Routing) If the Lynx L-320 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-320. -
Page 35: Dynamic Routing
RIP routes will be updated. Selecting In means that the Lynx L-320 will only incorporate received RIP information. Selecting Out means that the Lynx L-320 will only send out RIP information. Selecting both means that the Lynx L-320 will incorporate received RIP information and send out updated RIP information. -
Page 36: System Password
You can also change the idle timeout; you will need to log back onto the Lynx L-320 once the timeout expires. If you forget your password, you can press and hold the reset to factory defaults button for 10 seconds (or more). -
Page 37: Firmware Upgrade
Figure 1-31: Firmware Upgrade 5.5.19 Restore to Default The restore to factory defaults feature will set the Lynx L-320 to its factory default configuration by resetting the Lynx L-320. You may need to place the Lynx L-320 into its factory defaults if the configuration is changed, you loose the ability to interface to the Lynx L-320 via the web interface, or following a software upgrade,. -

Page 48: What Is A Gateway
Your machine isn't really directly connected to the Internet, and it really has an internal local network address. When you provide the servers network address to others, you must provide the address of the Lynx L-320. The Lynx L-320 "fakes" the connection to your machine. - Page 49 © 2005 Starbridge Networks LLC. All rights reserved. www.starbridgenetworks.com Lynx: constellation introduced by J. Hevelius in 1687. The Lynx is a nocturnal wildcat with superb eyesight. The observers of this constellation would have to be “lynx-eyed” to see it.
