Settings

WAN IP Address This is the IP address to be represented

by the WAN interface which is connected to the external

network. This IP address can be used for routing and

device management purposes.

The WAN interface can be set for static IP or can be set to

obtain an IP address from the DHCP server which should

reside on the external network. One of the IP assignment

modes must be selected for the external network

interface:

• DHCP Choose this option to obtain the IP address,

Gateway and DNS address dynamically from an external

DHCP server.

• PPPoE Choose this option to obtain the IP address,

Gateway and DNS address dynamically from an external

PPPoE server.

• Static Choose this option to assign static IP settings for

the external interface.

DHCP

DHCP Fallback IP If the AirRouter HP is set to DHCP but is

unable to obtain an IP address from a valid DHCP server, it

will fall back to the static IP address listed here.

DHCP Fallback Netmask If the AirRouter HP is set to

DHCP but is unable to obtain an IP address from a valid

DHCP server, it will fall back to the static Netmask listed

here.

MTU Defines the size (in bytes) of the largest protocol

data unit the layer can pass on. When using slow links,

large packets can cause some delays thereby increasing

lag and latency.

Enable DMZ The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) can be

enabled and used so that services such as Web Servers,

Proxy Servers, and E-mail Servers can still serve the local

network and are at the same time isolated from it for

additional security. DMZ is commonly used with NAT

functionality as an alternative to Port Forwarding but DMZ

opens all ports of the host network device to the external

network.

• DMZ Management Port Web Management Port for the

AirRouter HP (TCP/IP port 80 by default) will be used for

the host device if the DMZ Management Port option is

enabled.

•

DMZ IP Enter the IP address of the internal network

device and the device will be completely exposed to the

external network.

Auto IP Aliasing Automatically generates an IP Address

for the corresponding WLAN/LAN interface if enabled.

The generated IP address is a unique Class B IP address

from the 169.254.X.Y range (Netmask 255.255.0.0) which is

intended for use within the same network segment only.

Auto IP always starts with 169.254.X.Y while X and Y are

last 2 digits from the MAC address of the device (i.e. if the

MAC is 00:15:6D:A3:04:FB, Generated unique Auto IP will

be 169.254.4.251).

IP Aliases IP aliases for the internal and external network

interface can be configured. IP Aliases can be specified

using the IP Aliases configuration window which is opened

when you click Configure.

• IP The alternative IP address for the LAN or WLAN

interface, which can be used for the routing or device

management purposes.

•

Netmask The network address space identifier for the

particular IP Alias.

• Comment Field used for a brief description of the

purpose of the alias.

•

Enabled Enables or disables the particular IP Alias. All

added IP Aliases are saved in the system configuration

file, however only the enabled IP Aliases are active on

the AirRouter HP.

Newly-added IP Aliases can be saved by click the Save

button or discarded by clicking the Cancel button in the

Aliases configuration window.
