•WINS server, short for Windows Internet Naming Service Server, determines the IP address associated with a particular Windows computer. A WINS server records and reports a list of names and IP addresses of Windows PCs on its local network. If you connect to a remote network that contains a WINS server, enter the server’s IP address here. This allows your PCs to browse the network using the Network Neighborhood feature of Windows. Reserved IP Addresses When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always receive the same IP address when it access the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings. To reserve an IP address: 1.In the Address Reservation section on the LAN IP Setup screen, click Add. 2.In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. Choose an IP address from the router’s LAN subnet, such as 10.1.1.x. 3.Type the MAC address of the computer or server. Tip: If the computer is already present on your network, you can copy its MAC address from the Attached Devices screen and paste it here. 4.Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table. Note: The reserved address will not be assigned until the next time the computer contacts the router’s DHCP server. You can reboot the computer, or access its IP configuration, to force a DHCP release and renew. To edit or delete a reserved address entry: 1.In the Address Reservation table on the LAN IP Setup screen, select the radio button next to the reserved address you want to edit or delete. 2.Click Edit or Delete. Static Routes Static routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network. You can add static routes, and view or change existing static routes from the Static Routes screen. To add or edit a static route: 1.Log in to the modem at its default LAN address of with its default user name of admin, and default password of password, or using whatever user name, password, and LAN address you have chosen for the modem. 2.On the main menu, select Static Routes under the Advanced Heading. The Static Routes screen appears: Figure 3-5 Existing static routes are shown in the Static Routes table. 3.Click Add or Edit, and then enter the settings for the static route. •Route Name. This is for identification purposes only. •Private. If you want to limit access to the LAN only, then select this check box. The static route will not be reported in RIP. •Active. You must select this check box to make this route effective. •Destination IP Address. The IP address of the final destination. •IP Subnet Mask. If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255. •Gateway IP Address. This must be a router on the same LAN segment as your modem. •Metric Value. Type a number between 2 and 15. This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 2. 4.Click Apply and the static route is added or updated on the table on the Static Routes screen. Remote Management Using the Remote Management screen, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to configure, upgrade and check the status of your Mobile Broadband Modem. Tip: Be sure to change the modem’s default password to a very secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper-case and lower-case), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters. To configure remote management: 1.Log in to the modem at its default LAN address of with its default user name of admin, and default password of password, or using whatever user name, password, and LAN address you have chosen for the modem. 2.On the main menu, select Remote Management under the Advanced heading. The Remote Management screen appears: Figure 3-6 3.Select the Turn Remote Management On check box. 4.Specify which external addresses will be allowed to access the modem’s remote management. For security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical. Select one of these options: •Only This Computer. Allow access from a single IP address on the Internet. Enter the IP address that will be allowed access. •IP Address Range. Allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range. •Everyone. Allow access from any IP address on the Internet. 5.Type the port number that will be used for accessing the management interface. Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80.
