5. DHCP client can use its assigned IP address without requesting renewal from the Wireless Gateway The default setting is 1440 minutes 24 hours If a DHCP client does not request a lease renewal within this time it is considered to have gone off the network and its IP address can be assigned to another client Note that some DHCP clients will themselves disconnect from the network if their lease time runs out and the DHCP server is not available to renew the lease Reserve Table The Reserve Table lets youmake sure that when the DHCP server function is enabled the Wireless Gateway will always assign certain IP addresses to certain DHCP clients and never to any others This function is especially useful when for example there s a network print server which will be easier to use with a fixed IP address in the LAN The Reserve Table can contain up to sixteen entries To reserve an IP address for a DHCP client you must know the client machine s MAC Media Access Control address This is usually printed on a label affixed to the machine or its network interface card and consists of 25 twelve hexadecimal digits with or without spaces in between The hexadecimal digits are 0 through 9 and A through F in upper or lower case 0080C82F8086 0080c82f8086 0080C8 2F8086 and 00 80 C8 2F 80 86 are all different ways of writing the same MAC address To enter a MAC address in the Reserve Table click in a table entrys MAC Address box and
6. ISP Local LAN 13 The Local LAN settings are the IP address and subnet mask that will identify the Wireless Gateway to the other machines on your LAN The address must be unique on the LAN that is assigned exclusively to the Wireless Gateway the subnet mask must be the same for all machines on the LAN that will communicate directly with the Wireless Gateway Be sure to keep a record of the address you set here This will be the default gateway for other machines on the LAN Before setting IP addresses note that no machine must ever be assigned an address ending in zero that is x x x 0 or 255 An IP address ending in zero identifies an entire network not a particular machine An IP address ending in 255 is a broadcast address used for sending messages to all the machines on a network at the same time Note also that possible subnet mask settings for the LAN interface are of the form 255 255 255 x where x can be 0 128 192 224 240 248 or 252 The installing technician will recognize that this makes the Local LAN settings suitable for a Class C IP network or a subnet of such a network In the case that ISP give you a single globally legal IP address to be assigned to the Wireless Gateway s WAN port you will have to use what are called private addresses on the LAN An example of a private address is 172 16 0 0 This is a network address individual machines on a LAN using this network address can be assigned add

Since NetBIOS over TCP IP can be routed between networks it can trigger diakout on a dial on demand PPPoE WAN connection see Global WAN Mode under Basic Setup Broadband Router above If you have a PPPoE link to your ISP and the Connect on Demand control is set to Yes you will almost certainly need to enable the NetBIOS over TCP IP filter When the filter is enabled NetBIOS over TCP IP packets will not trigger dialing and will not be passed from the LAN to the WAN link NetBIOS over TCP IP will still work among the machines on the LAN If the Wireless Gateway s WAN port connects a LAN to a corporate network containing resources that local machines must access using NetBIOS over TCP IP the NetBIOS over TCP IP Filter control should be set to Disable to let those packets through Block WAN Request The Block WAN Request function if enabled causes the Wireless Gateway to ignore requests addressed to it from the WAN This makes the Wireless Gateway almost invisible to the outside world while still allowing access to the WAN from the LAN Note that if the Block WAN Request function is enabled outside machines will not be able to ping the Wireless Gateway and remote management of the Wireless Gateway will not be possible Save Cancel 39 After making sure all settings in the Filters settings panel are correct click Save to store the settings in the Wireless Gateway s non volatile memory You can alterna
