2-4-5 Using 'L2TP xDSL' as broadband connection type
If your ISP requires you to use L2TP (Layer-2 Tunneling Protocol) to
establish connection, you can select this connection type to establish
Internet connection. L2TP is another popular connection method for
xDSL and other Internet connection types, and all required setting items
are the same with PPTP connection.
Like PPTP, there are two kinds of required setting, we’ll start from ‘WAN
Interface Settings’:
Please select the type of how you obtain IP address from your service
provider here. You can choose ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’ (equal
to DHCP, please refer to ‘Cable Modem’ section above), or ‘Use the
following IP address’ (equal to static IP address, please refer to ‘PPPoE
xDSL’ section above).
WAN interface settings must be correctly set, or the Internet connection
will fail even those settings of L2TP settings are correct. Please contact
your Internet service provider if you don’t know what you should fill in
these fields.

3-3 LAN (Wired)
You can setup Wired LAN (Local Area Network) connections of this

and they’ll all use the same LAN IP address settings. Please also note that
both wired and wireless LAN uses the same LAN IP address settings, too.
LAN settings split into 3 sections: LAN IP, DHCP Server, and Static
DHCP leases. Please refer to corresponding sections below for detailed
setup instructions.
3-3-1 Start
Before you start - Suggestions for deciding an IP address to be used with
this broadband router
Before all computers using wired Ethernet connection (i.e. those
computers connect to this router’s LAN port 1 to 4 by Ethernet cable) or
wireless connection can communicate with each other and access internet,
they must have a valid IP address.
There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address
(set the IP address for every computer manually), and dynamic IP address
(IP address of computers will be assigned by router automatically. It’s
recommended for most of computers to use dynamic IP address, it will
save a lot of time on setting IP addresses for every computer, especially
when there are a lot of computers in your network; for servers and
network devices which will provide services to other computer and users
that come from Internet, static IP address should be used, so other
computes can locate the server.
This broadband router has a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) server, and can help you to assign IP addresses to your client
computers. Almost all network computers / devices manufactured after
year 1995 are compatible with DHCP, and you can let this broadband
router to assign the IP address to client computers / devices for you.
72
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Suggestions on IP address numbering plan:
If you have no idea on how to define an IP address plan for your
network, here are some suggestions.
1. A valid IP address has 4 fields: a.b.c.d, for most of home and
company users, it’s suggested to use 192.168.c.d, where c is
an integer between 0 and 254, and d is an integer between 1
and 254. This router is capable to work with up to 253 clients,
so you can set ‘d’ field of IP address of router as 1 or 254 (or
any number between 1 and 254), and pick a number between 0
and 254 for field ‘c’.
2. In most cases, you should use ‘255.255.255.0’ as subnet mask,
which allows up to 253 clients (this also meets router’s
capability of working with up to 253 clients).
3. For all servers and network devices which will provide
services to other people (like Internet service, print service,
and file service), they should use static IP address. Give each
of them a unique number between 1 and 253, and maintain a
list, so everyone can locate those servers easily.
4. For computers which are not dedicated to provide specific
service to others, they should use dynamic IP address.
If you don’t really understand the descriptions listed above, don’t
worry! We will provide recommended setup values below.

3-5-1 QoS
Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network
to share the internet bandwidth with a promised quality of internet service.
Without QoS, all computers and devices on the network will compete
with each other to get internet bandwidth, and some applications which
require guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network
telephone) will be affected, therefore an unpleasing result will occur, like
the interruption of video / audio transfer.
With this function, you can limit the maximum bandwidth or give a
guaranteed bandwidth for a specific computer, to avoid said unpleasing
result from happening.

3-5-2 NAT
Network address translations solve the problem if sharing a single IP
address to multiple computers. Without NAT, all computers must be
assigned with a valid Internet IP address to get connected to Internet, but
Internet service providers only provide very few IP addresses to every
user. Therefore it’s necessary to use NAT technology to share a single
Internet IP address to multiple computers on local network, so everyone
can get connected to Internet.
This broadband router supports four types of NAT functions, and the
instructions of these functions will be given below.

great amount of data or request to your Internet IP address and server, the
Internet connection will become very slow, and server may stop
responding because it is not capable to handle too much traffics.
This router has a built-in DoS attack prevention mechanism; when you
activate it, the router will stop the DoS attack for you:
Here lists four kinds of DoS attacks, please select the type of DoS attack
you wish this broadband router to protect, and you can select multiple
types of attacks.
The descriptions of every DoS attack is listed below:
Item Name
Description
Ping of Death
Ping of Death is a special packet, and it will
cause certain computer to stop responding.
Check this box and the router will filter this
kind of packet out.
Discard Ping From
WAN
Ping is a common and useful tool to know
the connection status of a specified remote
network device, but some malicious intruder
will try to fill your network bandwidth with a
lot of PING request data packet, to make your
internet connection become very slow, even
unusable. Check this box and the router will
ignore all inbound PING request, but when you
activate this function, you will not be able to

ping your own router from internet, too.
Some malicious intruder will try to use a ‘port
scanner’to know how many ports of your
Internet IP address are open, and they can
collect a lot of valuable information by doing
so. Check this box and the router will block all
traffics which are trying to scan your Internet
IP address.
Port Scan
Sync Flood
This is another kind of attack, which uses a lot
of fake connection request to consume the
memory of your server, and try to make your
server become unusable. Check this box and
the router will filter this kind of traffic out.
If you need to specify the details of every DoS attack, please click
‘Advanced Settings’ button, and the following settings will appear:

Check the box to activate this DoS prevention
mechanism.
Port Scan
Many kind of port scan methods are listed here,
please check one or more DoS attack methods
you want to prevent.

3-5-4 DDNS
DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is a IP-to-Hostname mapping service for those
Internet users who don’t have a static (fixed) IP address. It will be a
problem when such user wants to provide services to other users on
Internet, because their IP address will vary every time when connected to
Internet, and other user will not be able to know the IP address they’re
using at a certain time.
This router supports DDNS service of following service providers:
3322 (http://www.3322.org/)
DHS (http://www.dhs.org)
DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.org/)
ODS (http://ods.org)
TZO (http://www.tzo.com/)
GnuDIP (http://gnudip2.sourceforge.net/)
DyNS (http://www.dyns.cx/)
ZoneEdit (http://www.zoneedit.com)
DHIS (http://www.dhis.org/)
CyberGate (http://cybergate.planex.co.jp/ddns/)
NS2GO (http://ns.ns2go.com/)
Please go to one of DDNS service provider’s webpage listed above, and
get a free DDNS account by the instructions given on their webpage.
After that, you can use the DDNS page to setup DDNS parameters to use
