    Note: Please make sure that the computer you will use to connect to and configure the DFL-600 is assigned an IP address that is in the same range as the DFL-600. The IP address of the DFL-600 is 192.168.0.1. All computers on your network must be within that range, for instance, the computer IP address could be any IP address from the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254,...

  • Page 28: Dhcp Settings

    DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a method of automatically assigning IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateway and DNS server IP address to computers on the LAN side of the DFL-600. The DFL-600 can be a DHCP server for your LAN, assigning IP addresses, etc. to computers on your network from a range of addresses you specify below.
  • Page 29 IP address is 192.168.0.1. This is the last IP address in a range that the Ending IP Address DFL-600 will assign to a computer on your network. In this case, the range of IP addresses between 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.100 gives 99 different IP addresses that the DFL-600 can assign to the computers on your network.
  • Page 30 Domain Name The DFL-600 can provide a domain name to computers on your network. This domain name suffix can be provided automatically by your ISP, or you can enter it statically here. This suffix will then be automatically added to URL requests for access to your ISP’s servers.

  • Page 31: Nat

    NAT is automatically applied between the IP addresses assigned to the DFL- 600’s WAN port (the IP address or addresses assigned to you by your ISP) and the IP addresses assigned to the DFL-600’s LAN ports (the 192.168.0.x subnet). NAT is not used between the WAN port and the DMZ port.

  • Page 32: Dmz

    NAT and the firewall features of your DFL-600 may conflict with certain interactive applications such as video conferencing or playing Internet video games. For these applications, a bypass can be set up using the DMZ port and a corresponding DMZ IP address. The DMZ IP address is “visible” to the Internet (or WAN) and does not benefit from the full protection of the NAT function.

  • Page 33: Dmz Settings

    The DMZ Settings screen allows you to Enable and Disable the DMZ port on the DFL-600 and to specify the IP address and Subnet Mask that the DMZ port will use. The default DMZ IP address is 192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
  • Page 34 Global IP address This is the IP address assigned to the WAN side of the DFL-600 by your ISP. If a range of IP addresses have been assigned by your ISP, you will have to pick one IP address that will be used to connect to your PC that is connected to the DFL-600’s DMZ port (on the LAN side).
