Section 3 - Configuration Network Settings This section will allow you to change the local network settings of the router and to configure the DHCP settings. IP Address: Enter the IP address of the router. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. If you change the IP address, once you click Apply, you will need to enter the new IP address in your browser to get back into the configuration utility. Subnet Mask: Enter the Subnet Mask. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Device Name: Enter a name for the router. Local Domain: Enter the Domain name (Optional). Enable DNS Relay: Uncheck the box to transfer the DNS server information from your ISP to your computers. If checked, your computers will use the router for a DNS server. D-Link DIR-628 User Manual 31 Section 3 - Configuration DHCP Server Settings DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DIR-628 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the DIR-628. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool. Enable DHCP Check this box to enable the DHCP server on Server: your router. Uncheck to disable this function. DHCP IP Address Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for Range: the DHCP server’s IP assignment. Note: If you statically (manually) assign IP addresses to your computers or devices, make sure the IP addresses are outside of this range or you may have an IP conflict. DHCP Lease The length of time for the IP address lease. Time: Enter the Lease time in minutes. Always Enable this feature to broadcast your networks Broadcast: DHCP server to LAN/WLAN clients. NetBIOS NetBIOS allows LAN hosts to discover all Announcement: other computers within the network, enable this feature to allow the DHCP Server to offer NetBIOS configuration settings. Learn NetBIOS Enable this feature to allow WINS information to from WAN: be learned from the WAN side, disable to allow manual configuration. D-Link DIR-628 User Manual 32 Section 3 - Configuration NetBIOS Scope: This feature allows the configuration of a NetBIOS ‘domain’ name under which network hosts operates. This setting has no effect if the ‘Learn NetBIOS information from WAN’ is activated.” NetBIOS Mode Select the different type of NetBIOS node: Broadcast only, Point-to-Point, Mixed-mode, and Hybrid. Type: Primary/ Enter your Primary (and Secondary) WINS IP address(es). Secondary WINS IP Address: D-Link DIR-628 User Manual 33 Section 3 - Configuration DHCP Reservation If you want a computer or device to always have the same IP address assigned, you can create a DHCP reservation. The router will assign the IP address only to that computer or device. Note: This IP address must be within the DHCP IP Address Range. Enable: Check this box to enable the reservation. Computer Name: Enter the computer name or select from the drop-down menu and click <<. IP Address: Enter the IP address you want to assign to the computer or device. This IP Address must be within the DHCP IP Address Range. MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the computer or device. Copy Your PC’s If you want to assign an IP address to the MAC Address: computer you are currently on, click this button to populate the fields. Save: Click Save to save your entry. You must click Save Settings at the top to activate your reservations. Number of In this section you can see what LAN devices Dynamic DHCP are currently leasing IP addresses. Clients: Revoke: Click Revoke to cancel the lease for a specific LAN device and free an entry in the lease table. Do this only if the device no longer needs the leased IP address, because, for example, it has been removed from the network. D-Link DIR-628 User Manual 34 Section 3 - Configuration Note: The Revoke option will not disconnect a PC with a current network session from the network; you would need to use MAC Address Filter to do that. Revoke will only free up a DHCP Address for the very next requester. If the previous owner is still available, those two devices may both receive an IP Address Conflict error, or the second device may still not receive an IP Address; in that case, you may still need to extend the “DHCP IP Address Range” to address the issue, it is located in the DHCP Server section. Reserve: The Reserve option converts this dynamic IP allocation into a DHCP Reservation and adds the corresponding entry to the DHCP Reservations List. D-Link DIR-628 User Manual 35 Section 3 - Configuration Virtual Server The DIR-628 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network). The DIR-628 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DIR-628 are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the DIR-628 redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. The DIR-628 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a different port on the server computer. Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service. For a list of ports for common applications, please visit http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1191.

D-Link DIR-628 User Manual 38 Section 3 - Configuration Application Rules Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, Internet telephony and others. These applications have difficulties working through NAT (Network Address Translation). Special Applications makes some of these applications work with the DIR-628. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, specify the port normally associated with an application in the “Trigger Port” field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then enter the firewall (public) ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic. The DIR-628 provides some predefined applications in the table on the bottom of the web page. Select the application you want to use and enable it. Name: Enter a name for the rule. You may select a pre-defined application from the drop-down menu and click <<. Trigger: This is the port used to trigger the application. It can be either a single port or a range of ports. Traffic Type: Select the protocol of the trigger port (TCP, UDP, or Both). Firewall: This is the port number on the Internet side that will be used to access the application. You may define a single port or a range of ports. You can use a comma to add multiple ports or port ranges. Traffic Type: Select the protocol of the firewall port (TCP, UDP, or Both). Schedule: The schedule of time when the Application Rule will be enabled. The schedule may be set to Always, which will allow the particular service to always be enabled. You can create your own times in the Tools > Schedules section. D-Link DIR-628 User Manual 39 Section 3 - Configuration QoS Engine The QoS Engine option helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing applications. By default the QoS Engine settings are disabled and application priority is not classified automatically. Enable Traffic Traffic Shaping Shaping: Automatic Uplink This option is enabled by default when the Traffic Speed: Shaping option is enabled. This option will allow your router to automatically determine the uplink speed of your Internet connection. Measured Uplink: This displays the detected uplink speed. Manual Uplink The speed at which data can be transferred from Speed: the router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISP’s often speed as a download/upload pair. For example, 1.5Mbits/284Kbits. Using this example, you would enter 284. Alternatively you can test your uplink speed with a service such as www.dslreports.com. Connection Type: By default, the router automatically determines whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/ Frame-relay network or some other connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network. If you have an unusual network connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure either “Static” or “DHCP” in the Internet settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router will recognize that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network causes the measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but gives much better results. D-Link DIR-628 User Manual 40 Section 3 - Configuration Detected xDSL: When Connection Type is set to automatic, the automatically detected connection type is displayed here. Enable QoS This option is disabled by default. Enable this option for better performance and experience with online games and other Engine: interactive applications, such as VoIP. Automatic This option is enabled by default. This will allow your router to automatically determine the network priority of running Classification: programs. Dynamic This option should be enabled when you have a slow Internet uplink. It helps to reduce the impact that large low priority Fragmentation: network packets can have on more urgent ones. D-Link DIR-628 User Manual 41 Section 3 - Configuration Network Filters Use MAC (Media Access Control) Filters to allow or deny LAN (Local Area Network) computers by their MAC addresses from accessing the Network.
