Getnet Router GR-524WA User Manual

							 43 5.2.3.2. DHCP  Relay 
 
Some ISPs perform the DHCP server function for their customers’ home/small 
office network. In this case, you can configure this device to act as a DHCP 
relay agent. When a user’s computer on your network requests Internet 
access, the router contacts your ISP to obtain the IP configuration, and then 
forward that information to the computer.  
 
 
 
Parameter Description 
DHCP Server Address  Specify the IP address of your ISP’s DHCP server. 
Requests for IP information from your LAN interface will 
be passed to the default gateway, which should route the 
request appropriately. 
When you finish, click ‘Apply Changes’. You’ll see the following message

Press ‘Continue’ to save the settings made and back to web management 
interface; press ‘Apply’ to save the settings made and restart the router so the 
settings will take effect after it reboots.

5.2.3.3. DHCP  Server 
 
When the DHCP server is enabled, the router will automatically give your LAN 
clients an IP address. If the DHCP is not enabled then you’ll have to manually 
set your LAN client’s IP addresses. 
 
 
 
Parameter Description 
LAN IP Address  The current IP Address of the router. 
  
Subnet Mask  The current Subnet Mask of the router. 
  
IP Pool Range  You can select a particular IP address range for your 
DHCP server to issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients. 
By default, the IP range is starting from IP 192.168.1.100 
to 192.168.1.200.

Parameter Description 
Show Client  Click this button and a table is displayed. You can know 
the assigned IP address, MAC address and time expired 
for each DHCP leased client.  
  
Subnet Mask  Enter the subnet mask to LAN clients. 
  
Max Lease Time  In the Lease Time setting you can specify the time period 
that the DHCP Server lends an IP address to your LAN 
clients. The DHCP will change your LAN client’s IP 
address when this time threshold period is terminated. 
  
Domain Name  A user-friendly name that refers to the group of hosts 
(subnet) that will be assigned addresses from this pool. 
  
Gateway Address  The IP address of the ADSL router. 
  
MAC Base Assignment Click this button and you can assign a static IP Address 
to the computer with the designated MAC Address. The 
MAC Address is the 12-digit hexadecimal number, for 
example 00-d0-59-c6-12-43. The Assigned IP Address 
should be a unique IP Address.

							 46 5.2.3.4. ARP  Table 
 
ARP is the Address Resolution Protocol and its job is to match MAC address 
to IP address and obviously vice versa - to match IP addresses to MAC 
addresses. This page lists the IP Addresses and the match MAC Addresses in 
the network. 
 
 
 
 
5.2.3.5. Bridging 
 
You can enable/disable Spanning Tree Protocol and set MAC address aging 
time in this page. 
 
 
 
Parameter Description 
Ageing Time   Set the Ethernet address ageing time. After the ageing 
time of not having seen a frame coming from a certain 
address, the bridge will time out (delete) and do not 
forward the frame.  
						

							 47   
802.1d Spanning Tree  Enable/disable the spanning tree protocol. When this 
feature is enabled, this router will use the spanning tree 
protocol to prevent from network loop happened in the 
network (LAN Side).

801.11g or IEEE 802.1n wireless stations connect to your Intranet. It supports 
WEP, WPA and WPA2 encryption to enhance the security of your wireless 
network. It also support WPS function for you to easy setup the wireless 
connection between the ADSL router with other stations. 
 
  
 
 
5.2.4.1. Basic  Settings

Parameter Description 
Authentication Type  There are three authentication types: Open System, 
Shared Key and Auto. 
 
Open System: Open System authentication is not 
required to be successful while a client may decline to 
authenticate with any particular other client. 
 
Shared Key: Shared Key is only available if the WEP 
option is implemented. Shared Key authentication 
supports authentication of clients as either a member of 
those who know a shared secret key or a member of 
those who do not. IEEE 802.11 Shared Key 
authentication accomplishes this without the need to 
transmit the secret key in clear. Requiring the use of the 
WEP privacy mechanism. 
 
Auto: Auto is the default authentication algorithm. It will
