 Chapter 4 - Your Router At A Glance

The Lynx L-220 has different ports and LEDs. Let’s take a look at the
different options.

4.1 Ports and Buttons

Reset and Restore to Factory Defaults: The restore to factory defaults

feature will set the Lynx L-220 to its factory default configuration by
resetting the Lynx L-220. You may need to place the Lynx L-220 into its
factory defaults if the configuration is changed; you loose the ability to
interface to the Lynx L-220 via the web interface, or following a software
upgrade. To reset the Lynx L-220, simply press the reset button for about ~
10 seconds. The Lynx L-220 will be reset to its factory defaults and after
about 30 ~ 40 seconds the Lynx L-220 will become operational again.

LAN (local area network) ETHERNET port: connects to Ethernet network

devices, such as a PC, hub, switch, or routers. Some Lynx L-220 came with
a single LAN connection and some come with four LAN connections.
Depending on the connection, you may need a cross over cable or a straight
through cable.

Power is where you connect the power. Make sure to observe the proper
power requirements. The required power is 9 volts.

USB (universal serial port): connects to a PC’s USB port.

DSL port: This is the WAN interface that connects directly to your phone
line.

PPPoE is also known as RFC 2516. It is a method of encapsulating PPP

packets over Ethernet. PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a method of
establishing a network connection/session between network hosts. It usually
provides a mechanism of authenticating users.

The following image shows the Connection Types.

 5.4 Advanced Setup
5.4.1 WAN
The WAN page under the Advanced Setup allows you to Add, Edit, or
Remove to configure the WAN interface.

To edit the required parameters, click the Edit button next to the selected
connection in the table.

If you wish to remove the connection from the table list, tick the Remove
checkbox next to the selected connection and then click the Remove
button.

Click on the Add button if you wish to add a new connection.

Click Save/Reboot to take effect the settings.

5.4.2 LAN
The LAN page under the Advanced Setup allows you to configure the Lynx
L-220 IP address and the subnet mask for the LAN interface. The default IP
Address and Subnet Mask of the router is 192.168.1.1 and
255.255.255.0 respectively.

The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts issuing IP addresses.
This value must be greater than the ADSL Router IP address value. For
example if the ADSL Router IP address is 192.168.1.1 (default) than the
starting IP address must be 192.168.1. 2 (or higher).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 The End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops issuing IP addresses.
The ending address cannot exceed a subnet limit of 254. Hence the max
value for our default gateway is 192.168.1.254. If the DHCP server runs out
of DHCP addresses, users will not get access to network resources. If this
happens you can increase the Ending IP address (to the limit of 255) or
reduce the lease time.

The Leased Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed
connection to the ADSL Router with their current dynamic IP address. The
amount of time is in units of minutes; the default value is 3600 minutes (60
hours).

NOTE: Please take note that if you change the IP Address, you must
reboot the router and use the new IP Address to login.

 5.4.3 NAT
5.4.3.1 Virtual Servers
Virtual Server allows you to direct incoming traffic from WAN side
(identified by Protocol and External port) to the Internal server with private
IP address on the LAN side. The internal port is required only if the external
port needs to convert to a different port number used by the server on the
LAN side. A maximum 32 entries can be configured.

To setup a new Virtual Server, click Add. In the NAT-Virtual Servers

page, you can setup a Virtual Server for a Known Server type by selecting a
service from the drop-down menu OR you can define a Custom Server.

 As an example, if you want to setup a web server on a PC with LAN IP
address of 192.168.1.88, select HTTP as Service and enter 192.168.1.88
as the Server IP Address. Otherwise if the service you want to setup is not
available from the Select a Service drop-down list, you can define your
own Virtual Server.

Custom Server:
Define a name for the server type you wish to configure.

Server IP Address:
Key in the LAN IP address of the PC you wish to setup as Virtual Server.

External Port Start and External Port End:

Specify the port/the range of the port numbers used by this service.

Protocol:
Select from the drop-down list whether you are using TCP or UDP protocol
type.

Internal Port Start and Internal Port End:

Key in the relevant value(s) if the external port/range of ports needs to be
converted to a different port number/range of port numbers before being
forwarded to the LAN server.

To delete a Virtual Server entry, use the Remove button to delete the
corresponding entry from the table list.

Click Save/Apply to take effect the settings.

5.4.3.2 Port Triggering

Some applications require that the specific ports in the Lynx L-220 firewall
be opened for access by the remote parties. For instance, assuming an
application uses port 25 for requests and port 113 for replies. If a PC on the
LAN connects to port 25 on a remote server hosting this application, using
Port Triggering on the router, incoming connections to port 113 (from the
remote server) could be redirected to the PC which initiated the request. A
maximum of 32 port triggering entries can be configured.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 To setup a new port, click Add. In the NAT-Port Triggering page, you can
setup a port triggering entry for a known application type by selecting an
application from the drop-down menu OR you can define a Custom
application.

Custom Application:
Define the name of the application for which you wish to configure port
triggering.

Trigger Port Start and Trigger Port End:

Define the port/range of ports for the outgoing connections which will cause
the trigger.

Trigger Protocol:
Define the protocol type for the trigger port.

44

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Open Port Start and Open Port End:
Define the port/range of ports to be left open for the incoming connections,
in reply to the trigger.

Open Protocol:
Define the protocol type for the open port.

To delete a Port Triggering entry, use the Remove button to delete the
corresponding entry from the table list.

Click Save/Apply to take effect the settings.

5.4.3.3 DMZ Host

The router will forward IP packets from the WAN that do not belong to any
of the applications configured in the Virtual Servers table to the DMZ Host
computer.

Enter the LAN IP address of the PC you wish to set as DMZ Host in the DMZ
Host IP Address.

If you need to disable the DMZ Host, just clear the DMZ Host IP Address
field, follow by clicking Save/Apply take effect the settings.

NOTE: DMZ allows the host to expose all its ports to the Internet. The
DMZ Host is thus vulnerable to malicious attacks from tne Internet.

control incoming and outgoing Internet traffic. The router provides two types
of IP filtering: Outgoing IP Filtering and Incoming IP Filtering.

Outgoing IP Filtering:
By default, the router allows all outgoing Internet traffic from the LAN but by
setting up Outgoing IP Fitlering rules, you can block some users and/or
applications from accessing the Internet.

5.4.6 DNS
5.4.6.1 DNS Server
DNS (Domain Name System) is an Internet service that translates domain
names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they are
easier to remember. However, the Internet is based on IP addresses.
Therefore, each time you type a domain name, a DNS service must translate
the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name
www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4. The DNS system
consists of a network of DNS servers. If one DNS server does not know how
to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one and so on until
the correct IP address is returned.

If you select the Enable Automatic Assigned DNS checkbox, the router
will receive and use the DNS Server assigned by your ISP.

To use your preferred DNS servers, disable the Enable Automatic

Assigned DNS checkbox and key in the IP address of your Primary DSN
server. Adding a Secondary DNS server is optional.

Click Save to take effect this setting.
