ADSL Setup
----------
Setup Wizard
If you are new to networking and have never configured a router
before, click on Setup Wizard and the router will guide you through
a few simple steps to get your network up and running.
Manual Configure
If you consider yourself an advanced user and have configured a
router before, selected Manual Configure to input all the settings
manually.
PVC
Leave the set at the default value 0 the first time the Route
is set up. For more information on this option see Multiple
PVC Operation.
VPI
If instructed to change this, type in the VPI value for the
initial connection (using PVC 0). Default = 0.
VCI
If instructed to change this, type in the VCI value for the
initial connection (using PVC 0). Default = 38.
Virtual Circuit
The virtual Circuit over which this PPP data is sent. The VC
identifies the physical path the data takes to reach your ISP.
Service Category
Select the ATM service category.
PCR
Leave the set at the default value 0 the first time the Router
is set up. For more information on this option see Multiple
PVC Operation. Enter the ATM PCR value.
ADSL Connection Setup - PPPoE/PPPoA
Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a
PPPoA/PPPoE connnection. This option is typically used for DSL
services. Select PPPoA/PPPoE to obtain an IP address
automatically for your PPPoA/PPPoE connection. Please enter
the information accordingly.
ADSL Connection Setup - Dynamic IP Address
Select this option if your ISP provides you an IP address
automatically.This option is typically used for Cable
services. Please enter the Dynamic IP information accordingly.
ADSL Connection - Static IP Address
Select this option to set static IP information. You will need
to enter in the Connection type, IP address, subnet mask,
gateway address, and DNS address(es) provided to you by your
ISP. Each IP address entered in the fields must be in the
appropriate IP form, which is four IP octets separated by a
dot(x.x.x.x). The Router will not accept the IP address if it
is not in this format. Example: 192.168.0.100
ADSL Connection Setup - Bridge Mode
The modem can be configured to act as a bridging device
between your LAN and your ISP. Bridges are devices that enable
two or more networks to communicate as if they are two
segments of the same physical LAN. Please set the Connection
type.
LAN Setup
---------
LAN Setup
These are the settings of the LAN (Local Area Network)
interface for the router. The router's local network (LAN)
settings are configured based on the IP Address and Subnet
Mask assigned in this section. The IP address is also used to
access this Web-based management interface. It is recommended
that you use the default settings if you do not have an
existing network.
IP Address
The IP address of your router on the local area network. Your
local area network settings are based on the address assigned
here. For example, 192.168.0.1.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask of your router on the local area network.
DHCP Server Settings
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP
section is where you configure the built-in DHCP Server to
assign IP addresses to the computers and other devices on your
local area network (LAN).
Enable DHCP Server
Once your D-Link router is properly configured and this
option is enabled, the DHCP Server will manage the IP
addresses and other network configuration information
for computers and other devices connected to your Local
Area Network. There is no need for you to do this
yourself.
The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN
also need to have their TCP/IP configuration set to
"DHCP" or "Obtain an IP address automatically".
When you set Enable DHCP Server, the following options
are displayed.
DHCP IP Address Range
These two IP values (from and to) define a range of IP
addresses that the DHCP Server uses when assigning
addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area
Network. Any addresses that are outside of this range
are not managed by the DHCP Server; these could,
therefore, be used for manually configured devices or
devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain network address
details automatically.
Your D-Link router, by default, has a static IP address
of 192.168.1.1. This means that addresses 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.254 can be made available for allocation by
the DHCP Server.
Example:
Your D-Link router uses 192.168.1.1 for the IP
address. You've assigned a computer that you want
to designate as a Web server with a static IP
address of 192.168.1.3. You've assigned another
computer that you want to designate as an FTP
server with a static IP address of 192.168.1.4.
Therefore the starting IP address for your DHCP IP
address range needs to be 192.168.1.5 or greater.
Example:
Suppose you configure the DHCP Server to manage
addresses From 192.168.1.100 To 192.168.1.199.
This means that 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.99 and
192.168.1.200 to 192.168.1.254 are NOT managed by
the DHCP Server. Computers or devices that use
addresses from these ranges are to be manually
configured.
DHCP Lease Time
The amount of time that a computer may have an IP
address before it is required to renew the lease. The
lease functions just as a lease on an apartment would.
The initial lease designates the amount of time before
the lease expires. If the tenant wishes to retain the
address when the lease is expired then a new lease is
established. If the lease expires and the address is no
longer needed than another tenant may use the address.
6RD Setup
---------
6rd Setup
These are the settings of the 6rd (IPv6 Rapid deployment on
IPv4 Infrastructures).To enable 6rd, make sure the PVC used is
IPv4 only, and the PVC can access Internet successfully, and
RADVD auto mode is enabled(LAN Setup webpage).
6RD Enable
This option used to enable or disable 6rd function.
6rd IPv6 Prefix
Set the prefix and prefix length. Users can define "6RD IPv6
Prefix", the CPE default setting is 2002:2121::/32.
IPv4 Mask Length
The default "IPv4 Mask Length" is 0, which can be changed if
necessary.
6RD Border Relay IPv4Addr
The IP of "6RD Border Relay IPv4Addr" is provided by user's ISP.
6rd Prefix Delegation
The prefix delegation of 6RD can be used by CPEs in order to
receive the prefix, IPv4 and mask.
Use PVC
The PVC that makes 6rd effective.
Time and Date
-------------
The Time Configuration option allows you to configure, update,
and maintain the correct time on the router's internal system
clock. From this section you can set the time zone that you
are in and set the Time Server.
Current Router Time
Displays the time currently maintained by the router. If this
is not correct, use the following options to configure the
time correctly.
Automatic Time Configuration
Select this option if you want to synchronize the
router's clock to a Network Time Server over the
Internet. If you are using schedules or logs, this is
the best way to ensure that the schedules and logs are
kept accurate.
NTP Server Used
Select a Network Time Server for synchronization. You
can type in the address of a time server or select one
from the list. If you have trouble using one server,
select another.
Time Zone
Select your local time zone from pull down menu.
Set the Date and Time Manually
If you do not have the NTP Server option in effect, you can
either manually set the time for your router here, or you can
click the Copy Your Computer's Time Settings button to copy
the time from the computer you are using. (Make sure that
computer's time is set correctly.)
