Configuration Buttons
Use the buttons in the Configuration group to perform advanced configuration tasks.
| This button… | Opens a page that lets you… |
|
| WAN | Specify how your Wide Area Network ADSL setup |
|
| Configuration | is configured. This page is also where you would |
|
|
| set up a static IP address (if you have arranged |
|
|
| for one with your Internet service provider). |
|
| Port Settings | Set the ports used when you use FTP or Telnet |
|
|
| with the device or if you are running a Web server |
|
|
| behind it. |
|
| Bridging | Specify which device interfaces are capable of |
|
|
| bridging data between your LAN/WAN and |
|
|
| Internet service provider. Interfaces can be |
|
|
| routable (for example, assigned an IP address), |
|
|
| bridgeable, or both. |
|
| Dynamic DNS | Enter the Host name you registered with a |
|
|
| Dynamic DNS service provider. This page is for |
|
|
| those who are using dynamic IP addressing (the |
|
|
| X4’s default) and want to host a Web site. The |
|
|
| Dynamic DNS service provider keeps track of |
|
|
| your constantly changing IP address and routes |
|
|
| those trying to access your Web site to the correct |
|
|
| location. |
|
| SNMP | Set up Simple Network Management Protocol |
|
|
| (SNMP). This enables a host computer to access |
|
|
| configuration, performance, and other system |
|
|
| data that resides in a database on the modem. |
|
| Management | Enable or deny access to X6 services – HTTP, |
|
| Control | Telnet, UPnP, SNMP, TFTP – to local network |
|
|
| devices and/or remote users. |
