3.8.4 ASDL type Setting

Go to Advanced Setup ->ADSL  to set different ADSL connection 

If you meet a ADSL connection problem, you can select a different ADSL connection type to get more fast connection.

3.9.1 Static Routing

Go to Advance Setup -> Routing ->Add to setup static route features.

The static routing function determines the path that router follows over your network before and after it passes through your router. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through this device.  

3.9.2 Dynamic Routing

Go to Interface Setup -> Internet to select Dynamic Route as you need.

The dynamic routing feature of the router can be used to allow the router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's layout. 
The router uses the dynamic RIP protocol. It determines the route that the network packets take based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network.

3.9.3 Routing Table

Go to Advance Management -> Routing to see the Routing Table.

The Routing table allows you to see how many routings on your routing table and interface information.  

3.10.1 System Status

Go to Status -> Device Info to see the router's information. The System Status page shows the WAN, LAN and the router's firmware version.  

Appendix A Glossary

Address mask
A bit mask used to select bits from an Internet address for subnet addressing. The mask is 32 bits long and selects the network portion of the Internet address 
and one or more bits of the local portion. Sometimes called subnet mask.

AAL5
ATM Adaptation Layer - This layer maps higher layer user data into ATM cells, making the data suitable for transport through the ATM network.

ADSL
Asymmetric digital subscriber line

ATM
Asynchronous Transfer Mode - A cell-based data transfer technique in which channel demand determines packet allocation. ATM offers fast packet technology, 
real time, demand led switching for efficient use of network resources.

AWG
American Wire Gauge - The measurement of thickness of a wire

Bridge
A device connects two or more physical networks and forwards packets between them. Bridges can usually be made to filter packets, that is, to forward only 
certain traffic. Related devices are: repeaters which simply forward electrical signals from one cable to the other, and full-fledged routers which make routing 
decisions based on several criteria.

Broadband
Characteristic of any network multiplexes independent network carriers onto a single cable. Broadband technology allows several networks to coexist on one 
single cable; traffic from one network does not interfere with traffic from another. Broadcast A packet delivery system where a copy of a given packet is given to 
all hosts attached to the network. Example: Ethernet.

CO
Central Office. Refers to equipment located at a Telco or service provider's office.

CPE
Customer Premises Equipment located in a user's premises

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP is software that automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network. DHCP eliminates having to manually assign 
permanent IP addresses to every device on your network. DHCP software typically runs in servers and is also found in network devices such as Routers.

DMT
Discrete Multi-Tone frequency signal modulation

Downstream rate
The line rate for return messages or data transfers from the network machine to the user's premises machine.

DSLAM
Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplex

Dynamic IP Addresses
A dynamic IP address is an IP address that is automatically assigned to a client station (computer, printer, etc.) in a TCP/IP network. Dynamic IP addresses 
are typically assigned by a DHCP server, which can be a computer on the network or another piece of hardware, such as the Router. A dynamic IP address 
may change every time your computer connects to the network.

Encapsulation
The technique used by layered protocols in which a layer adds header information to the protocol data unit (PDU) from the layer above. As an example, in Internet terminology, a packet would contain a header from the physical layer, followed by a header from the network layer (IP), followed by a header from the transport 
layer (TCP), followed by the application protocol data.

Ethernet
One of the most common local area network (LAN) wiring schemes, Ethernet has a transmission rate of 10 Mbps.

FTP

HTML browser
A browser used to traverse the Internet, such as Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

http
Hypertext Transfer Protocol - The protocol used to carry world-wide-web (www) traffic between a www browser computer and the www server being accessed.

ICMP
Internet Control Message Protocol - The protocol used to handle errors and control messages at the IP layer. ICMP is actually part of the IP protocol.

Internet address
An IP address is assigned in blocks of numbers to user organizations accessing the Internet. These addresses are established by the United States Department 
of Defense's Network Information Center. Duplicate addresses can cause major problems on the network, but the NIC trusts organizations to use individual 
addresses responsibly. Each address is a 32-bit address in the form of x.x.x.x where x is an eight- bit number from 0 to 255. There are three classes: A, B and C, depending on how many computers on the site are likely to be connected.

Internet Protocol (IP)
The network layer protocol for the Internet protocol suite

IP address
The 32-bit address assigned to hosts that want to participate in a TCP/IP Internet.

ISP
Internet service provider - A company allows home and corporate users to connect to the Internet.

MAC
Media Access Control Layer - A sub-layer of the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of the ISO OSI Model responsible for media control.

MIB
Management Information Base - A collection of objects can be accessed via a network management protocol, such as SNMP and CMIP (Common Management Information Protocol).

NAT
Network Address Translation - A proposal for IP address reuse, where the local IP address is mapped to a globally unique address.

NVT
Network Virtual Terminal

PAP
Password Authentication Protocol

PORT
The abstraction used by Internet transport protocols to distinguish among multiple simultaneous connections to a single destination host.

POTS
Plain Old Telephone Service - This is the term used to describe basic telephone service.

PPP
Point-to-Point-Protocol - The successor to SLIP, PPP provides router-to-router and host-to-network connections over both synchronous and asynchronous circuits.

PPPoE
PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.

Remote server
A network computer allows a user to log on to the network from a distant location.

RFC
Request for Comments - Refers to documents published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) proposing standard protocols and procedures for the Internet. RFCs can be found at www.ietf.org..

Route
The path that network traffic takes from its source to its destination. The route a datagram may follow can include many gateways and many physical networks. 
In the Internet, each datagram is routed separately.

Router
A system responsible for making decisions about which of several paths network (or Internet) traffic will follow. To do this, it uses a routing protocol to gain 
information about the network and algorithms to choose the best route based on several criteria known as "routing metrics".

routing table
Information stored within a router that contains network path and status information. It is used to select the most appropriate route to forward information along.

Routing Information Protocol
Routers periodically exchange information with one another so that they can determine minimum distance paths between sources and destinations.

SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol - The network management protocol of choice for TCP/IP-based Internet.

SOCKET
(1) The Berkeley UNIX mechanism for creating a virtual connection between processes.
(2) IBM term for software interfaces that allow two UNIX application programs to talk via TCP/IP protocols.

Spanning-Tree Bridge Protocol (STP)
Spanning-Tree Bridge Protocol (STP) - Part of an IEEE standard. A mechanism for detecting and preventing loops from occurring in a multi-bridged environment. 
When three or more LAN's segments are connected via bridges, a loop can occur. Because a bridge forwards all packets that are not recognized as being local, 
some packets can circulate for long periods of time, eventually degrading system performance. This algorithm ensures only one path connects any pair of stations, selecting one bridge as the 'root' bridge, with the highest priority one as identifier, from which all paths should radiate.

Spoofing
A method of fooling network end stations into believing that keep alive signals have come from and returned to the host. Polls are received and returned locally at 
either end

Static IP Addresses
A static IP address is an IP address permanently assigned to computer in a TCP/IP network. Static IP addresses are usually assigned to networked devices that 
are consistently accessed by multiple users, such as Server PCs, or printers. If you are using your Router to share your cable or DSL Internet connection, contact 
your ISP to see if they have assigned your home a static IP address. You will need that address during your Router's configuration.

Subnet
For routing purposes, IP networks can be divided into logical subnets by using a subnet mask. Values below those of the mask are valid addresses on the subnet.

TCP
Transmission Control Protocol - The major transport protocol in the Internet suite of protocols provides reliable, connection-oriented full-duplex streams.

TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol - A simple file transfer protocol (a simplified version of FTP) that is often used to boot diskless workstations and other network devices 
such as routers over a network (typically a LAN).

Telnet
The virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols - Allows users of one host to log into a remote host and act as normal terminal users of that host.

Transparent bridging
So named because the intelligence necessary to make relaying decisions exists in the bridge itself and is thus transparent to the communicating workstations. It involves frame forwarding, learning workstation addresses and ensuring no topology loops exist (in conjunction with the Spanning-Tree algorithm).

UDP
User Datagram Protocol - A connectionless transport protocol that runs on top of TCP/IP's IP. UDP, like TCP, uses IP for delivery; however, unlike TCP, UDP provides for exchange of datagrams without acknowledgments or guaranteed delivery. Best suited for small, independent requests, such as requesting a MIB value from an SNMP agent, in which first setting up a connection would take more time than sending the data.

UNI signaling
User Network Interface signaling for ATM communications.

Virtual Connection (VC)
A link that seems and behaves like a dedicated point-to-point line or a system that delivers packets in sequence, as happens on an actual point-to-point network. In reality, the data is delivered across a network via the most appropriate route. The sending and receiving devices do not have to be aware of the options and the route is chosen only when a message is sent. There is no pre-arrangement, so each virtual connection exists only for the duration of that one transmission.

WAN
Wide area network - A data communications network that spans any distance and is usually provided by a public carrier (such as a telephone company or service provider).
