DNS servers. With DNS masquerading ON, the DHCP server embedded in the NTC-6200 Series router hands out its own IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1) as the DNS server address to LAN clients. The downstream clients then send DNS requests to the NTC-6200 Series router which proxies them to the upstream DNS servers. - Page 39 DHCP server is located on the Wireless WAN or LAN connections, the clients behind the NTC-6200 Series router are able to communicate with the DHCP server when DHCP relay is enabled. This enables the NTC-6200 Series router to accept client broadcast messages and to forward them onto another subnet.

The private key is used to decrypt information and must be secret by its owner. Each NTC-6200 Series router contains a self-signed digital certificate which is identical on all NTC-6200 Series routers. For a greater level of security, the router also supports generating your own unique key. Additionally, you may use third party software to generate your own self-signed digital certificate or purchase a signed certificate from a trusted certificate authority and then upload those certificates to the router. - Page 116 Cayman Islands Qatar International Algeria Kazakhstan Reunion US Military Ecuador Laos Romania Network Estonia Saint Lucia Serbia Non-Profit Organization Egypt Liechtenstein Russian Federation ARPA Old style Arpanet Western Sahara Sri Lanka Rwanda NetComm Wireless 3G M2M Router / Plus www.netcommwireless.com...
