Manage the DHCP Server Address Pool By default, the modem acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The modem assigns
IP

, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers that are connected to its LAN. The assigned
default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem.
These addresses m

ust be part of the same IP address subnet as the modem’s LAN IP address. The default
DHCP address pool is 192.168.5.2–192.168.5.254.
The 
modem delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
• An IP address from the range that you define
• Subnet mask
• Gateway IP address (the modem
’s LAN IP address)
• DNS server IP address (the 
modem’s LAN IP address)

You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server or specify the network settings of all your
computers. If you disable the DHCP server and no other DHCP server is available on your network,
you must set your computer IP addresses manually so that they can access the
modem.

							Set Up and Manage Custom Static Routes
Static routes provide detailed routing information to your modem. Typically, you do not need to add static
routes
. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as when you use multiple routers or
multiple IP subnets on your network.
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
• Your primary Internet access is through an ADSL modem to an ISP.
• You use an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed.
This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.5.100.
• Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your modem, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created
with your ISP as the gateway and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.5.x
addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your
modem forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are
emplo

yed, and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.
In this case, you must define a static route, instructing your 
modem that 134.177.0.0 is accessed through
the ISDN 
modem at 192.168.5.100. Here is an example:
• Through the destination IP address and IP subnet mask, specify that this\
 static route applies to all
134.177.x.x addresses.
• Through the gateway IP address, specify that all traffic for these addresses is forwarded to the ISDN
modem
 at 192.168.5.100.
• A metric value of 1 works fine because the ISDN modem is on the LAN.
Set Up a Static Route
Y

ou can add a static route to a destination IP address and specify the su\
bnet mask, gateway IP address,
and metric.
To set up a static route: 1.

2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.

7. To prevent the route from becoming active after you click the Apply button, clear the Active check box.
In some situations, you might want to set up a static route but keep it disabled until a later time. By
default, the Active check box is selected and a route becomes active after you click the Apply button.
8. Enter the settings as descr

ibed in the following table. Description
Field
Enter the IP address for the final destination of the route.
Destination IP Address

If the destination is a single host, enter 
255.255.255.255.
IP Subnet Mask
Enter the IP address of the gate
way.
The IP address of the gateway must be on the same LAN segment as the modem.
Gateway IP Address
Enter a number from 1 through 15.
This value represents the number of routers between your network and the
destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set
it to 1.

							Disable the Modem’s Routing Features and Use the Modem
as a DSL Modem Only
By default, the modem functions as both a modem and a router with a limited number of routing features.
Y
ou can change the operation mode to a mode in which the modem
 functions as a DSL modem only (also
referred to as bridge mode) with its routing features such as DHCP and firewall features such as NAT
disabled.
A typical use of such a mode is when the 
modem is used only for DSL connectivity behind a WiFi router
that pro
vides routing, firewall, WiFi, and other features and to which you can connect multiple devices. Figure 6. Modem cabling for DSL service and a WiFi router
IMPORTANT:After you disable the modem’s routing features and the modem functions as
a DSL modem onl

y, you can access the modem only through a fixed IP address,
which is 192.168.5.1. Therefore, make sure that IP address 192.168.5.1 is not
assigned to another device on your network.
To disable the modem’s routing features and configure the modem as a DSL modem only: 1.
Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the network.
2. Enter 
http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the 
modem user name and password.
The user name is 
admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select 
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Device Mode.
The Device Mode page displays.
5. From the 
Device Mode menu, select Modem (Modem only).
By def
ault, the selection is Router (Modem + Router).
6. Click the 
Apply button.
Your settings are saved. The 
modem restarts.
Y
ou can now access the 
modem only through a fixed IP address, which is 192.168.5.1. Manage the Modem and Monitor the Traffic

Broadband High-Speed DSL Modem Model DM200 
						

							You can now disconnect the computer from the modem and use the Ethernet cable to connect the yellow LAN
port on the 
modem to the WAN port on a router.
Connect computers or WiFi devices to the router. On the computer or WiFi device that is connected to the router,
log in to the router and set it up. For information about how to set up the router, see the documentation that
came with the router.
Reenable the Modem’s Routing Features
If you disabled the modem’s routing features and used the modem as a DSL modem only, you can reenable
modem’s routing features.
T

o reenable the modem’s routing features: 1.
With your computer still attached to the router (and not to the modem), manually change your computer’s
fix

ed IP address.
Use the following settings:
• IP address. 192.168.5.x (note that the last digit can be 2 to 250)
• Subnet mask
. 255.255.255.0
If your computer detects an IP conflict, change the last digit of the IP add\
ress. For more information
about how to change your computer’s fixed IP address, see the documentation that came with your
computer.
2. Disconnect the router from the 
modem.
3. Connect a computer to the yellow LAN port on the modem using an Ethernet cable.
4. Launch a w

eb browser and enter 
http://192.168.5.1 in the address field of the browser.
A login window opens.
5. Enter the 
modem user name and password.
The user name is 
admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
6. Select 
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Device Mode.
The Device Mode page displays.
7. From the 
Device Mode menu, select Router (Modem + Router).
8. Click the 
Apply button.
Your settings are saved. The 
modem restarts.
The 
modem’s routing features are reenabled and you can now again use the default
http://www
.routerlogin.net
 to access the modem.
