Chapter 3 Configuration
19
~ Disable: Check to disable I-STORM ADSL ROUTER to distribute IP Addresses to the local
network.
If you check this selection, Disable, remember to specify a static IP address, subnet Mask, and
DNS setting for each of your local computers. Be careful not to assign the same IP address to
different computers.
~ Enable: Check to enable I-STORM ADSL ROUTER to distribute IP Addresses, subnet
mask and DNS setting to computers. Hence, the following fields will be activated.
Starting IP Address: Enter the starting address of this local IP network address pool. The pool
is a piece of continuous IP address segment. The default value is 192.168.1.100.
Number of DHCP users: Enter the maximum number of computers that you want the DHCP
server to assign IP addresses to. The default value is 100.
With this case, the DHCP pool is from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199. Therefore, the local
computer will get an IP address located at this range randomly.
If there is already a DHCP server on your LAN, you should disable the router’s
DHCP server function in order to avoid possible conflicts.
3.4.2 WAN The screens below contain settings for the WAN interface toward Internet.
ISP There are five ways ─ PPPoE, PPPoA, RFC1483 routed, IPoA, PPTP-to-PPPoA Relaying ─ for the
device to have a public IP address and then to access Internet. You have to check with your ISP about
which way is adopted.
VPI/VCI: Consult the telephone company to get the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel
Identifier (VCI) numbers. The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255 and for the VCI is 32 to 65535. The
default value VPI is 0 and VCI is 32.
NAT: The NAT feature allows multiple-user Internet access for the cost of a single IP account. If you
need to have a public server or a public network, NAT has to be disabled.
Encapsulation Method: Be sure to use the encapsulation method (LLC/SNAP or VC MUX) required
by your ISP.
If you disable the I-STORM ADSL ROUTER ’s NAT option, the Virtual Server and
VPN functions will be disabled.
