Advanced Administration

To connect from a remote PC via the Internet

1.Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser.

2.In the "Address" bar, enter "HTTP://" followed by the Internet IP Address of the Broad- band ADSL Router. If the port number is not 80, the port number is also required. (After the IP Address, enter ":" followed by the port number.)

e.g.

HTTP://123.123.123.123:8080

This example assumes the WAN IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and the port number is 8080.

3.You will then be prompted for the login name and password for this device.

Routing

Overview

If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing" page completely.

If the Broadband ADSL Router is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the "Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers.

If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the Broadband ADSL Router is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Pro- tocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.

If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN seg- ments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.)

If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the Broad- band ADSL Router, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are correct:

Open Routing and Remote Access

In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access, [server name], IP Routing,

RIP

In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version 2, and then click "Properties".

On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and Incoming packet protocol to "RIP version 1 and 2".

Routing Screen

The routing table is accessed by the Routing link on the Administration menu.

Using this Screen

Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the Static Routing Table, as explained above, although is it possible to use both methods simultaneously.

Static Routing Table

If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your Network, other than the segment to which this device is attached.

The other Routers must also be configured. See Configuring Other Routers on your LAN later in this chapter for further details and an example.
