Appendix A: Glossary

IP Address	1
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router. To access the
advanced setup interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your	2
browser. This address can be changed if needed. To change the IP address, type
in the new IP address and click “Apply Changes”. The IP address you choose
should be a non-routable IP. Examples of a non-routable IP are:	3
192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)
	4
10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)
Subnet Mask	5
Some networks are far too large to allow all traffic to flood all its parts. These
networks must be broken down into smaller, more manageable sections, called
	6
subnets. The subnet mask is the network address plus the information reserved
for identifying the “subnetwork”.
DNS	7
DNS is an acronym for Domain Name Server. A Domain Name Server is a server
	8
located on the Internet that translates URLs (Universal Resource Links) like
www.belkin.com to IP addresses. Many ISPs do not require you to enter this
information into the Router. If you are using a static IP connection type, then you	9
may need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for your
connection to work properly. If your connection type is Dynamic or PPPoE, it is
	10
likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address.
PPPoE
	11
Most ADSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type. If you use an ADSL

modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log you into the service.

Your connection type is PPPoE if:

1.Your ISP gave you a user name and password which is required to connect to the Internet.

2.Your ISP gave you software such as WinPoET or Enternet300 that you use to connect to the Internet.

3.You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your browser to get on the Internet.

To set the Router to use PPPoE, type in your user name and password in the spaces provided. After you have typed in your information, click “Apply Changes”.
