 Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual http://www.pepwave.com  33    Copyright @ 2016 Pepwave   5 Advanced Feature Summary 5.1  Drop-in Mode and LAN Bypass: Transparent Deployment  As your organization grows, it needs more bandwidth. But modifying your network would require effort better spent elsewhere. In Drop-in Mode, you can conveniently install your Peplink router without making any changes to your network. And if the Peplink router loses power for any reason, LAN Bypass will safely and automatically bypass the Peplink router to resume your original network connection.  Compatible with: MAX 700, MAX HD2 (All variants), HD4 (All Variants)  5.2  QoS: Clearer VoIP  VoIP and videoconferencing are highly sensitive to latency. With QoS, Peplink routers can detect VoIP traffic and assign it the highest priority, giving you crystal-clear calls.
 Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual http://www.pepwave.com  34    Copyright @ 2016 Pepwave   5.3  Per-User Bandwidth Control  With per-user bandwidth control, you can define bandwidth control policies for up to 3 groups of users to prevent network congestion. Define groups by IP address and subnet, and set bandwidth limits for every user in the group.  5.4  High Availability via VRRP   When your organization has a corporate requirement demanding the highest availability with no single point of failure, you can deploy two Peplink routers in High Availability mode. With High Availability mode, the second device will take over when needed.  Compatible with: MAX 700, MAX HD2 (All variants), HD4 (All Variants)

DHCP Server Settings DHCP Server When this setting is enabled, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each computer that is connected via LAN and configured to obtain an IP address via DHCP. The Pepwave router’s DHCP server can prevent IP address collision on the LAN. IP Range & Subnet Mask These settings allocate a range of IP addresses that will be assigned to LAN computers by the Pepwave router’s DHCP server. Lease Time This setting specifies the length of time throughout which an IP address of a DHCP client remains valid. Upon expiration of the lease time, the assigned IP address will no longer be valid and renewal of the IP address assignment will be required. DNS Servers This option allows you to input the DNS server addresses to be offered to DHCP clients. If Assign DNS server automatically is selected, the Pepwave router’s built-in DNS server address (i.e., LAN IP address) will be offered. WINS Server This option allows you to optionally specify a Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server. You may choose to use the built-in WINS server or external WINS servers. When this unit is connected using SpeedFusionTM, other VPN peers can share this unit's built-in WINS server by entering this unit's LAN IP address in their DHCP WINS Server setting. Afterward, all PC clients in the VPN can resolve the NetBIOS names of other clients in remote peers. If you have enabled this option, a list of WINS clients will be displayed at Status>WINS Clients. BOOTP Check this box to enable BOOTP on older networks that still require it. Extended DHCP Option In addition to standard DHCP options (e.g., DNS server address, gateway address, subnet mask), you can specify the value of additional extended DHCP options, as defined in RFC 2132.

DHCP Reservation This setting reserves the assignment of fixed IP addresses for a list of computers on the LAN. The computers to be assigned fixed IP addresses on the LAN are identified by their MAC addresses. The fixed IP address assignment is displayed as a cross-reference list between the computers’ names, MAC addresses, and fixed IP addresses. Name (an optional field) allows you to specify a name to represent the device. MAC addresses should be in the format of 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE. Press   to create a new record. Press   to remove a record. Reserved client information can be imported from the Client List, located at Status>Client List. For more details, please refer to Section 22.3.    LAN Physical Settings Speed This is the port speed of the LAN interface. It should be set to the same speed as the connected device to avoid port negotiation problems. When a static speed is set, you may choose whether to advertise its speed to the peer device. Auto is selected by default. You can choose not to advertise the port speed if the port has difficulty negotiating with the peer device.     Static Route Settings Static Route This table is for defining static routing rules for the LAN segment. A static route consists of the network address, subnet mask, and gateway address. The address and subnet mask values are in w.x.y.z format. The local LAN subnet and subnets behind the LAN will be advertised to the VPN. Remote routes sent over the VPN will also be accepted. Any VPN member will be able to route to the local subnets. Press   to create a new route. Press   to remove a route.    WINS Server Settings Enable Check the box to enable the WINS server.

A DNS proxy server can be enabled to serve DNS requests originating from LAN/PPTP/SpeedFusionTM peers. Requests are forwarded to the DNS servers/resolvers defined for each WAN connection. DNS Caching This field is to enable DNS caching on the built-in DNS proxy server. When the option is enabled, queried DNS replies will be cached until the records’ TTL has been reached. This feature can help improve DNS lookup time. However, it cannot return the most up-to-date result for those frequently updated DNS records. By default, DNS Caching is disabled. Include Google Public DNS Servers When this option is enabled, the DNS proxy server will also forward DNS requests to Google's Public DNS Servers, in addition to the DNS servers defined in each WAN. This could increase the DNS service's availability. This setting is disabled by default. Local DNS Records This table is for defining custom local DNS records. A static local DNS record consists of a host name and IP address. When looking up the host name from the LAN to LAN IP of the Pepwave router, the corresponding IP address will be returned. Press   to create a new record. Press   to remove a record. DNS Resolvers A Check the box to enable the WINS server. A list of WINS clients will be displayed at Network>LAN>DNS Proxy Settings>DNS Resolvers. This field specifies which DNS resolvers will receive forwarded DNS requests.
