enable/disable DSL Auto-connect and/or Quality of Service (QoS).

The Connection Type page allows you to select the type of network
protocol and encapsulation mode as provided your the ISP. PPPoE is the
default connection.

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).

40
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

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:

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.

43
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

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.
