Configuration Buttons
Use the buttons in the Configuration group to perform advanced configuration tasks.
The following table lists each button in the Configuration group and gives a brief description of the settings you can specify.
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 |
| X5’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. |
IP Filtering | Set up rules to control the forwarding of incoming |
| and outgoing data between your LAN and the |
| Internet and within your LAN. For example, you |
| can create IP filter rules to block attempts by |
| certain computers on your LAN to access certain |
| types of data or Internet locations. You can also |
| block or allow incoming access to computers on |
| your LAN. This page displays the current filters |
| and lets you edit and add filters. |
