Installation/User Guide

8.1.4.6 Domain Naming System (DNS) Secondary

This IP address represents the address that WebShare uses to respond to secondary DNS queries from your computer.

The default value is 192.168.0.3.

8.1.4.7 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

DHCP is a protocol used to automate the administration of IP addresses within a local area network. A server provides the IP allocation for computer hosts that are running a DHCP client. This controls the state of the local WebShare DHCP Server.

The default value is enabled.

8.1.4.8 DHCP Base Address

This is the first address in the block of IP addresses between the ‘base’ and ‘end’ addresses allocated by the DHCP server.

The default value is 192.168.0.10.

8.1.4.9 DHCP End Address

This is the last address in the block of IP addresses between the ‘base’ and ‘end’ addresses that the DHCP server allocates.

The default value is 192.168.0.73.

8.1.4.10 Inactivity Timer Timeout

WebShare provides an Inactivity Timer that closes an active PPP session if there has been no traffic through the WebShare Proxy Router either from or to any user. The timeout value may be adjusted within the LAN Advanced Configuration window shown in Figure 31 (page 29). For a session to be “always on”, select the Inactivity Timer Disable option.

The Inactivity Timeout Value determines the length of time a session will remain connected with no data flow from either direction. The default setting is disabled. To enable, select LAN Advanced from the Management menu. In the LAN Advanced Configuration window, select the Enable option and enter an Inactivity Timeout time in minutes. The valid range is from 0 to 9999 minutes. A zero will have the same affect as disabling the timer. Click the Save button in the dialog box to commit the new account information to the WebShare Proxy Router.

8.1.4.11 Static NAT

Static NAT allows you to designate a LAN shared PC as a server (e.g. for a web page). Enter the IP address of the designated PC in the Static NAT IP location of the LAN Advanced Configuration Window and click Enable.

8.1.5 About Page

The About page (Figure 34) provides the model number and version information for WebShare. This information is necessary when calling for technical support.
