An Internet connection is automatically made when required, and
disconnected when idle for the time period specified by the
Maximum Idle Time (60~3600).

3.2.6 DNS
A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If
you type a Web address into your browser, such as www.router.com, a DNS server will find that
name in its index and the matching IP address. (See chapter 2 “DNS” for more detail)
32 3.3 LAN The LAN Port screen below allows you to specify a private IP address for your router’s LAN ports as well as a subnet mask for your LAN segment. Parameters Default Description LAN Settings IP address 192.168.0.1 This is the router’s LAN port IP address (Your LAN clients default gateway IP address) IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Specify a Subnet Mask for your LAN segment DHCP Server Enabled You can enable or disable the DHCP server. By enabling the DHCP server the router will automatically give your LAN clients an IP address. If the DHCP is not enabled then you’ll have to manually set your LAN client’s IP addresses; make sure the LAN Client is in the same subnet as this broadband router if you want the router to be your LAN client’s default gateway IP Pool Starting/Ending Address You can select a particular IP address range for your DHCP server to issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients. Note: By default the IP range is from: Start IP 192.168.0.2 to End IP 192.168.0.254.
33 Lease Time The DHCP when enabled will temporarily give your LAN clients an IP address. In the Lease Time setting you can specify the time period that the DHCP lends an IP address to your LAN clients. The DHCP will change your LAN client’s IP address when this time threshold period is reached DNS Proxy Select that all DNS requests to a specific Domain Name will be routed to the XRT- 401E’s IP address. If you want to use the DNS Proxy function of the device, the end user’s main DNS server IP address should be the same IP Address as the device. DHCP Client List You can check your current status of the DHCP client here, it also allow you to add the client IP address with specific MAC address manually. 3.4 NAT Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users at your local site to access the Internet through a single Public IP Address or multiple Public IP Addresses. NAT provides Firewall protection from hacker attacks and has the flexibility to allow you to map Private IP Addresses to Public IP Addresses for key services such as Websites and FTP. To meet various field applications, XRT-401E NAT function can be disabled to as a regular router. If NAT is disabled, all LAN side workstations must have valid IP addresses for Internet access. If the router is used for routing application, not for Internet access, then the NAT function can be disabled. Parameter Description 3.4.1 Virtual Server You can have different services (e.g. email, FTP, Web etc.) going to different service servers/clients in your LAN. The Virtual Server allows you to re-direct a particular service port number (from the Internet/WAN Port) to a particular LAN IP address and its service port number. 3.4.2 Special Applications Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet games, video conferencing, Internet telephony and others. In this section you can configure the router to support these types of applications. 3.4.3 Port Forwarding You can have different services (e.g. email, FTP, Web etc.) going to different service servers/clients in your LAN. The Port Forwarding allows you to re-direct a particular range of service port numbers (from the Internet/WAN Ports) to a particular LAN IP address. 3.4.4 ALG Setting You can select special applications that need “Application Layer Gateway” to support here.
34 3.4.5 DMZ The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. 3.4.1 Virtual Server Use the Virtual Server function when you want different servers/clients in your LAN to handle different service/Internet application type (e.g. Email, FTP, Web server etc.) from the Internet. Computers use numbers called port numbers to recognize a particular service/Internet application type. The Virtual Server allows you to re-direct a particular service port number (from the Internet/WAN Port) to a particular LAN private IP address and its service port number. Parameters Description Private IP This is the LAN client/host IP address that the Public Port number packet will be sent to. Note: You need to give your LAN PC clients a fixed/static IP address for Virtual Server to work properly. Private Port This is the port number (of the above Private IP host) that the below Public Port number will be changed to when the packet enters your LAN (to the LAN Server/Client IP) Type Select the port number protocol type (TCP, UDP or both). If you are unsure, then leave it to the default both protocols. Public Port Enter the service (service/Internet application) port number from the Internet that will be re-directed to the above Private IP address host in your LAN
35 Comment The description of this setting. Enable To enable the rule of Virtual Server. 3.4.2 Special Applications Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet games, video conferencing, Internet telephony and others. In this section you can configure the router to support multiple connections for these types of applications. Parameters Description Trigger Port This is the out going (Outbound) range of port numbers for this particular application Trigger Type Select whether the outbound port protocol is “TCP”, “UDP” or both. Public Port Enter the In-coming (Inbound) port or port range for this type of application (e.g. 2300-2400, 47624) Note: Individual port numbers are separated by a comma (e.g. 47624, 5775, 6541 etc.). To input a port range use a “dash” to separate the two port number range (e.g. 2300-2400) Public Type Select the Inbound port protocol type: “TCP”, “UDP” or both Comment The description of this setting. Enable To enable the rule of the Special Application function.
