1. Software Installation and Configuration 1.1 Configuring the IP Sharing The IP sharing can be configured to meet various usage conditions. Some of the factory default settings may suit your usage; however, the other settings may need changing. Before using the IP sharing, you may check the basic settings to guarantee that it will work in your environment.
1.4 Setting IP Address Manually If you want to set your IP address manually, you should know the following default settings of the IP Sharing: IP Address: 192.68.1.1 (Default) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 If you set your computer’s IP address manually, the address must be on the same segment.

Setting Your Own Password You are given a default password. However, in consideration of safety, it is recommended that you set your own password. If you forget the password, click “Reset” on the interface to recover to the default settings.
2. Description of Administration Interface Factory Default Settings Addresses of LAN and WAN Ports The parameters of LAN are factory defaults. The defaults are as follows: LAN Port IP Address: 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 DHCP Server Function: enabled IP Address Configured to PC: any of the addresses extended from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 (total 253 addresses) WAN Port If you enable the DHCP Client function, ISP (Internet Service Provider) may...

There are two major setup items on the main menu, “Quick Setup”...
2.1 Quick Setup This item provides a user-friendly setup procedure and users follow only several steps to complete the work. Three setup items are provided on Quick Setup, shown as follows. 2.1.1 Dynamic IP Setup ISP gives a dynamic IP to access Internet. You can use this mode to get a dynamic IP address the DHCP from ISP.
The option is enabled as default. Start IP: You can set up the DHCP server in the blank of LAN configuration, a first address configured in the list. End IP: You can set up the DHCP server in the blank of LAN configuration, a last address configured in the list.
DNS IP: (given by your ISP) Flow Control: to control packet flow for smooth network traffic WAN Packet Tag-aware: to allow the packets sent from WAN to be attached with Tag- VID (Virtual IDentifier) If you enable this option, the packets sent from WAN will have Tag-VID;...
Start IP: You can set up the DHCP server in the blank of LAN configuration, a first address configured in the list. End IP: You can set up the DHCP server in the blank of LAN configuration, a last address configured in the list. Broadcast Storm: When a large number of broadcast packets are sent, network traffic jam will occur so as affect the bandwidth.
Password: (given by ISP) The Characters you input in length cannot be more than 20 characters. Confirm: input the password again for confirmation. MTU: input data for a proper MTU (1492 is a default/maximum.) Reducing the packet length helps you to enter a specific website or speed up packet transmission. However, if you input wrong data, you may not enter some websites.

address. If you enable the option, DHCP will automatically distribute any IP address to your PC. (The IP Sharing is provided with a DHCP server for the LAN PC to get IP automatically, and thus each PC is not required to record and set its IP address.) (The option is enabled as default.) Start IP: You can set up the DHCP server in the blank of LAN configuration, a first address configured in the list.
2.2 Advanced Setup A further setup items are provided, such as Fire Wall, Virtual Server, Port Forwarding and the like. System Status If you want to know the network connection status, you can click “Advanced Setup” or “Status” at the left side of the interface. 2.2.1 LAN: (See “Quick Setup”) 2.2.2 WAN Configuration...
2.2.2.1 DHCP Configuration WAN MAC Address: a MAC Address of WAN Broadcast Storm: When a large number of broadcast packets are sent, network traffic jam will occur so as affect the bandwidth. If you enable this function, the broadcast packet flow can be controlled for smooth network traffic. Flow Control: to control packet flow for smooth network traffic WAN Packet Tag-aware: to allow the packets sent from WAN to be attached with Tag- VID (Virtual IDentifier).
DNS IP: (given by your ISP) Flow Control: to control packet flow for smooth network traffic WAN Packet Tag-aware: to allow the packets sent from WAN to be attached with Tag- VID (Virtual IDentifier) If you enable this option, the packets sent from WAN will have Tag-VID;...
Confirm: input the password again for confirmation. MTU: input data for a proper MTU (1492 is a default/maximum.) Reducing the packet length helps you to enter a specific website or speed up packet transmission. However, if you input wrong data, you may not enter some websites. Disconnect: to allow you to set an automatic disconnection time after the network leaves unused.
Other Setting Enable Filtering Ping Packet: When this function is enabled, ping packets can be filtered. Enable Forwarding Multicast: When this function is enabled, packets can be sent from WAN. Drop MAC: When this function is enabled, specific MAC address packets can be dropped.
Port: to allow you to input a communication port number. If a destination communication port for packets received is exactly the connection port, the received packets will be re-sent to an IP address specified in LAN IP. Protocol: Communication protocol types are shown in the blank. Refresh: recover to all the defaults.
2.2.6 Reset You can use “Reset” in “Advanced Setup” to recover to the factory default settings. When you click this item, you will see a prompt menu and you can determine the reset or not on this prompt menu. 2.2.7 Exit If you want to exit from this administration interface, click the leftward “Exit”...
