2. Use PPTP Protocol

 

If the LevelOne FNS-6000 is connecting to a remote PPTP server through the WAN
port, you need to use the PPTP protocol. 

3.  

Use DHCP Protocol

 

 

The DHCP protocol is usually used in a Cable modem environment or the intranet. 
The system will obtain the IP address settings automatically via DHCP. 

4.  

Use Static IP Address

 

 

The fixed IP address is usually used in some DSL broadband services or intranet, and
an IP address must be entered manually in configuring the network. You will need to 
enter the following information: 

IP Address

The IP address is a 32-bit digit code used to identify each single entity on a network.
The  IP  address  is  separated  into  4  groups  of  eight  bits  separated 
by  dots.  (e.g. 

Subnet Mask

 

The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local network.    It is a 32
bit digit code. (e.g. 255.255.255.0)

Default Gateway

 

The gateway is generally referred as an interchange point that connects two networks.
If  you  don’t  know  the  gateway’s  IP  address,  please  ask  your  IS
or  network administrator. 

There are several available options in addition to the basic settings:

Allow entering administration web pages from external network

 

If this option was not enabled, you will not be able to perform system administration from
the computers connected to the WAN port. You may also assign the HTTP port number
for entering administration web pages.

Disable response to ICMP packets to avoid attacks from hackers

 

For additional security, when enabling this option, outside computers cannot use the 'ping'
program to probe for IP address of this server. 

     

LAN Configuration

 

If you use the LevelOne FNS-6000 as the gateway to connect to the Internet, there is
normally   no   need   to  change   the  LAN  configuration.  Simply  change
the   network configuration  of  the  computers  on  the  LAN  to  automatically
obtain  IP  addresses  via DHCP protocol. By default, the LevelOne FNS-6000
provides the NAT function to allow the computers on your LAN to share a single WAN

Fixed IP address

 

The IP address is a 32-bit digit code used to identify each single entity on a network. This
address will be used for all clients in the internal LAN to access this LevelOne FNS-6000.
You can check the current LAN IP address of the LevelOne FNS-6000 from the LCD
panel (see Appendix A).
