device can again communicate with your Wireless Router. For the same
reason, all devices on the LAN need to be restarted before they can access
the Internet again.
Private IP Netmask: the network mask for your private network. Its
value may be selected to accommodate your network's requirements.
Primary DNS IP Address: the IP address of the primary Domain Name
Server (DNS). If properly configured, when a device reboots and acquires
the IP address from the Wireless Router, the IP addresses of both the
primary and the secondary DNS server will be provided to requesting
client workstations. When a Wireless Router connects to the ISP, it will
automatically be assigned the IP address for a primary Domain Name
Server (DNS), as well as the IP address for a secondary DNS.
Alternatively, the user can decide that they want to assign their own DNS
IP addresses.
Secondary DNS IP Address: the IP address of the secondary domain
name server.
DHCP: this enables or disables the Wireless Router Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) feature. If you want the Wireless Router
to act as a DHCP server and assign private IP addresses to requesting
DHCP clients, make sure DHCP is enabled. When enabled, the Wireless
Router will provide an IP address, network mask, gateway address (the
Wireless Router private IP address), DNS addresses and WINS addresses
to any workstation on the local area network that is configured as a DHCP
client.
Devices on your network that are configured with public IP addresses are
not DHCP clients. Therefore, you need to assign their IP addresses,
network mask, default gateway's IP address, primary and secondary DNS
IP addresses manually.
IP Address Assignment: sets the range of IP address
IP RIP: sets IP RIP to Disable, Active or Passive. The Wireless Router
can both receive routing table broadcasts and transmit routing table
information. When disabled, no routing information is transmitted or
processed if received. When Active, the Wireless Router broadcasts its
address every 30 seconds and also listens for routing information on the
network. When Passive, the Wireless Router does not broadcast its
routing information, but simply listens for routing information from the
network and updates its routing tables.
IP RIP Version: select the system-wide setting of the RIP version to be
used if RIP is enabled. RIP, version 1 (RIP-I) or version 2 (RIP-II) may be
selected. If RIP-II is selected, individual connection profiles may use
either RIP-I or RIP-II. If RIP-I is selected, only RIP-I is used, regardless
of the setting in the individual connection profiles.
