Figure 4-8  LAN IP Address: Displays the LAN IP address of the Modem Router
RTA04NE 150M Wireless N ADSL2+ Router User Guide  26  Subnet Mask: Displays the subnet mask of the Modem Router.  DHCP Mode: Options available are None, DHCP Relay and DHCP Server. 1) None: In this mode, the Modem Router will do nothing when the host requests an IP address by DHCP protocol. The screen will be shown as in Figure 4-9.  Figure 4-9 2) DHCP Relay: In this mode, the Router will work as a DHCP Relay. A DHCP relay is a device that  forwards  DHCP  data  between  computers  that  request  IP  addresses  and  the  DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each of the device's interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. In this mode, the DHCP requests from local PCs will be forwarded to the DHCP server running on WAN side.  Figure 4-10  Relay Server: Enter the IP Address of the DHCP server running on WAN side. 3) DHCP Server: Select this mode, then the screen will be shown as in Figure 4-11. The Router will work as a DHCP Server; it becomes the default gateway for DHCP client connected to it. That device on your local network must be set as a DHCP client to obtain the IP address automatically. By default, the DHCP Server is enabled.
RTA04NE 150M Wireless N ADSL2+ Router User Guide  27  Figure 4-11  IP  Pool  Range:  Specify  the  start  and  end  IP  address  for  the  DHCP  server's  IP assignment. The default start and end IP Address are 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.200 separately.

RTA04NE 150M Wireless N ADSL2+ Router User Guide  38  Figure 4-22  Fragment Threshold: This value specifies  the maximum size for a  packet before data  is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase  the  Fragmentation  Threshold.  Setting  the  Fragmentation  Threshold  too  low  may result  in  poor  network  performance.  Only  minor  reduction  of  the  default  value  is recommended. In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.  RTS Threshold: Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of the default  value  2347  is  recommended.  If  a  network  packet  is  smaller  than  the  preset  RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS)  frames to  a  particular receiving station  and  negotiates  the sending of a  data frame. After  receiving  an  RTS,  the  wireless station  responds  with a  Clear  to  Send  (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. In most cases, keep its default value of 2347.  Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.  DTIM Interval: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1.
RTA04NE 150M Wireless N ADSL2+ Router User Guide  39  Broadcast  SSID:  When  wireless  clients  survey  the  local  area  for  wireless  networks  to associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the Router’s SSID, select “Enable”. If you don’t want to broadcast the Router’s SSID, select “Disable”. After configuration, click Apply Changes button to save your changes.  Note: 1.  These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have a sufficient knowledge about wireless LAN. They should not be changed unless you know exactly what will happen for the changes on your Access Point. 2.

Port trigger is used to restrict certain types of data packets from your local network to Internet. Some applications  require  multiple  connections,  like Internet games,  video conferencing,  Internet calling and so on. These applications cannot work with a pure NAT Router. Port Trigger is used for some of these applications that can work with an NAT Router, which can be helpful in securing and restricting your local network.  Figure 4-32  Nat Port rigger: Enable or disable the port trigger function on the device. After selecting, click the Apply Changes button to save your configuration.
RTA04NE 150M Wireless N ADSL2+ Router User Guide  52  Application Type: You can select the service from the “Usual Application Name” and then the following parameters, Match Port, Trigger Protocol, Relate Port and Open Protocol, will be automatically filled. You can also define the application by yourself in the “User-defined Application Name” field. But, you need to fill the following related parameters manually.    Start Match Port / End Match port: The start and end port to match.  Trigger Protocol: The protocol to trigger the rule, it can be TCP, UDP or TCP/UDP.  Start Relate Port / End Relate Port: The start and end related port.  Open Protocol: It can be TCP, UDP or TCP/UDP.  NAT Type: It can be outgoing or incoming. Click the Apply Changes button to save your configuration. And then the trigger rule will be added to the Current Portrigger Table.  Note: After configuration, you need to click the Save button appeared on  the left panel so  that your configuration can still take effect after the Router reboots. 4.3.2.5  IP Address Mapping Choose  “Advanced→NAT→IP  Address  Mapping”,  and  then  you  can  configure  the  mapping rules in the screen as shown in Figure 4-33.   NAT IP mapping allows you to configure one IP pool for specified source IP address from LAN, so a packet whose source IP is in range of the specified address will select one IP address from pool for NAT.  Figure 4-33
RTA04NE 150M Wireless N ADSL2+ Router User Guide  53  Type: There are four types of mapping rule, “One-to-One”, “Many-to-One”, “Many-to-Many” and “One-to-Many”.  One-to-One: One local IP will be mapped to one global IP.  Many-to-One: The IP between “Local Start IP” and “Local End IP” will be mapped to a global IP.  Many-to-Many: The IP between “Local Start IP” and “Local End IP” will be mapped to the IP between “Global Start IP” and “Global End IP”.  One-to-Many: One local IP will be mapped to any of the IP between “Global Start IP” and “Global End IP”.  Local Start IP / Local End IP: Enter the local IP Address you plan to map to. Local Start IP is the starting local IP address and Local End IP is the ending local IP address. If the rule is for all local IPs, then the Start IP is 0.0.0.0 and the End IP is 255.255.255.255.  Global Start IP / Global End IP: Enter the global IP Address you want to do NAT. Global Start IP is the starting public IP address and Global End IP is the ending public IP address. If you have a dynamic IP, enter 0.0.0.0 as the Global Start IP.  Current NAT IP MAPPING Table: This displays the information about the Mapping address.  Note: After configuration, you need to click the Save button appeared on  the left panel so  that your configuration can still take effect after the Router reboots. 4.3.3  QoS Choose “Advanced→QoS”, you can configure the QoS in the next screen. QoS helps to prioritize data as  it enters your router.  By attaching  special identification marks or  headers  to incoming packets, QoS determines which queue the packets enter, based priority. This is useful when there are certain types of data you want to give higher priority, such as voice data packets give higher priority than Web data packets. This option will provide better service of selected network traffic over various technologies.
RTA04NE 150M Wireless N ADSL2+ Router User Guide  54  Figure 4-34  IP QoS: Choose “enable”, and then you will see the following parameters.  QoS Policy: Policy of QoS. The traffic will be classified on the base of this policy. It can be based  on  stream,  802.1p  or  DSCP.
