Wizard Help
Run Wizard:
The Run Wizard is a useful and easy utility to help setup the DI-LB604 to quickly connect to your ISP (Internet Service Provider) with only a few steps required. It will guide you step by step to configure the password, time, WAN1 and WAN2 settings of your DI-LB604.
WAN Help
Connection Mode:
There are three connection modes for each WAN port, Enable, Disable and Backup. Set to Disable if there is no modem connected to the WAN port. If both WAN ports are used, one is set to Enable and the other is set to Backup, the backup line will automatically be used when the other line is disconnected.
Connection Type:
There are three connection types available for each WAN port.
Static IP:
Select this if you want to specify a fixed IP address for the WAN port.
Dynamic IP:
Select this if you want the WAN port to get its IP address from a DHCP server.
PPPoE:
Select this if you want the WAN port to get its IP address from a PPPoE server.
PPTP Connection:
To enable or disable PPTP connection on the WAN port.
Backup of:
To indicate which WAN port to be the backup of current port.
Address Information:
If you choose the connection type Static IP, then you have to fill in the information, IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway, provided by your ISP.
PPPoE / PPTP Dialup:
User Name / Password:
These 2 field must be completed if you are using PPPoE or PPTP dialup. If you are using PPTP dialup, remember you must select Static IP or Dynamic IP on Connection Type setup.
Static IP Address:
Fill in the IP address assigned by your ISP if you have a Static IP PPTP account, otherwise use the default value 0.0.0.0.
PPTP Server IP Address:
Fill-in PPTP Server's IP address if PPTP Connection is enabled.
PPPoE Host Name (Optional For PPPoE):
This field is used by a Host to uniquely associate an access concentrator to a particular Host request.
Advanced PPPoE:
This button is linked to the page Advanced PPPoE.
DNS (Domain Name Server):
There are three entries available. It is necessary for those who are using static IP connected to the Internet. It is optional for those who are using dynamic IP or PPPoE.
Optional:
If you still have trouble of connecting to the Internet, you may need to fill in this optional information. This information is most often used by Cable Modem services.
Host Name:
The name of this device.
Domain Name:
The specific name of this device on the Internet.
MAC Address:
There is one default MAC Address for each WAN port of this device and it can be changed by user if necessary. (Cable Modem User may need this)
Port Options:
This button is linked to the page Port Options.
LAN Help
LAN Settings:
IP Address:
This is the LAN IP address for this broadband router unit. Other computers on this LAN will see it as their gateway.
Subnet mask:
The subnet mask address must be the same as PCs onyour LAN. The default subnet mask address is 255.255.255.0
DHCP Help
DHCP Server:
DHCP Server:
To activate DHCP Server function. If you have another DHCP server available on your network or your LAN IP are static, you should disable the DHCP Server function.
Starting IP Address:
The Starting of the IP address range that will be leased to DHCP clients in device's LAN side.
Ending IP Address:
The Ending of the IP address range that will be leased to DHCP clients in device's LAN side.
Lease Time:
It is a finite period of time for that a DHCP server lease an address to a client.
DNS Server 1 IP for Client:
The IP address of the first default DNS server for the clint requsting DHCP service.
DNS Server 2 IP for Client:
The IP address of the second default DNS server for the clint requsting DHCP service.
View DHCP List:
This button is linked to the page DHCP Leased List.
Assign Static DHCP:
This button is linked to the page Static DHCP.
DHCP Client List Help
DHCP Client List:
Lists the information about the hosts which have obtained an IP address from this router's DHCP server.
Static DHCP Help
Static DHCP:
Host Name:
This should be your computer name.
MAC Address:
This is your computer's network adapter address. You can find this address by typing ipconfig /all under the command prompt mode of window NT /2000/XP, or winipcfg under window/95/98/Me's command prompt mode.
Reserved IP Address:
The IP address you wish to assign to this host.
Port Options Help
Interface:
WAN port:
To slect the WAN port for option settings.
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit):
The largest amount of data that can be transferred across a given physical network. Ethernet limits transfers to 1500 octets of data. Normally, you should leave this value as the default value. Change it only if the ISP is providing a MTU that is not optimal.
Connection Health Check:
There are three methods, ICMP, HTTP and Traffic, provided for device to check if WAN interfaces are connected to internet or not.
The successful response of either method is considered that the connection is OK. And while all the choosen methods fail, the connection is considered to be failure.
Method:
ICMP:
The health checking is performing by sending an ICMP echo request packet to the specific destination.
The specific destination ("Alive Indicator") could be either :
1. if the input box is filled (NAME or IP address): the host is used.
2. if the input box is left blank: gateway of wan interface will be used.
Then if one ICMP echo reply packet from Alive Indicator or gateway is received, the connection is considered OK. If there are no response received after 4 tries, the connection is considered to be failure.
HTTP:
The device gets TCP connection with the Alive Indicator first. Then the device sends HTTP HEAD packet to the Alive Indicator. If any HTTP DATA from the Alive Indicator is received, the connection is considered OK. If there are no response received after 5 tries, the connection is considered to be failure.
Traffic:
If there is no traffic on the WAN port in the Interval time, the connection is considered to be failure.
Interval:
The period to check if the WAN port is alive or not.
Alive Indicator:
This is used for Method ICMP or HTTP to determine if your Internet connection is active or not.(You can either fill-out the IP address or host name)
PPPoE/PPTP Connection:
Auto Dialup:
To enable or disable auto dialup for a PPPoE/PPTP connection. If you decide not to use auto dialup or auto disconnect, then you have to connect/disconnect manually.
Disconnect After Idle:
To decide the timeout for disconnecting while there is no traffic on the connection.
Enter -1 to keep the connection always alive.
EchoTime:
To determine how often an Echo request is sent to the PPPoE server. Normally, leave this setting as its default value.
Echo Retry:
To determine the most times that the Echo request is allowed to be sent to the PPPoE server till getting response. Normally, leave this setting as its default.
Load Balance Help
Load Balance:
To determine how the traffic is shared among the WAN ports.
Load Balance Configuration:
Enable:
This will allow you enable or disable the load balance feature.
Load Balance Base on:
Select the desired option to measure traffic.
Bytes Tx + Rx: the number of bytes transmitted through the WAN port.
Packets Tx + Rx: the number of packets transmitted through the WAN port.
Sessions Established: the number of sessions built on the WAN port.
Loading Share:
Enter the desired percent of traffic load for each WAN port.
NAT Statistics:
The traffic statistics on NAT for WAN ports.
Interface Statistics:
The traffic statistics on WAN ports.
Advanced PPPoE Help
Select WAN Port & Session:
Select the desired WAN port and PPPoE session from the pull-down menu, and click the Select button. The screen will then show the data for the selected Port/Session. Input the required data, and click Update to save your changes.
PPPoE Session MTU:
The Maximum Transmission Unit for the PPPoE session, default value is 1492 bytes.
Note: You can bind individual PPPoE sessions to particular PCs on the Host IP page if desired.
WAN IP Account:
This is the user account that you need to fill in.
Options:
Specified Fix IP Address:
If your PPPoE IP address is static, instead of dynamic, you need to fill in the static IP address.
Assigned Host Name:
This field is used by a Host to uniquely associate an access concentrator to a particular Host request.
