2.Leave the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup blank (for example 0.0.0.0). The ADSL Router acts as a DNS proxy when this field is blank.

6.4LAN TCP/IP

The ADSL Router has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that support DHCP client capability.

6.4.1 Factory LAN Defaults

The LAN parameters of the ADSL Router are preset in the factory with the following values:

1.IP address of 192.168.1.254 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)

2.DHCP server enabled with 100 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.100.

These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS server address(es), read the embedded web configurator help regarding what fields need to be configured.

6.4.2 IP Address and Subnet Mask

Refer to the IP Address and Subnet Mask section in the Wizard Setup chapter for this information.

6.4.3 RIP Setup

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. When set to:

1.Both - the ADSL Router will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP information that it receives.

2.In Only - the ADSL Router will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP packets received.

3.Out Only - the ADSL Router will send out RIP packets but will not accept any RIP packets received.
