After making any changes, click the "Update" button to save your changes. To add a new entry, click "Clear Form", enter your data, then click the "Add" button. Routing Table Data An entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your Network, other than the segment to which this device is attached.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide Destination IP Address The network address of the remote LAN segment. For standard class "C" LANs, the network address is the first 3 fields of this Destination IP Address. The 4th (last) field can be left at 0. Network Mask The Network Mask used on the remote LAN segment. For class "C" networks, the standard Network Mask is 255.255.255.0 Gateway IP Address The IP Address of the Router on the LAN segment to which this device is attached.
Routing Router Configuration It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the FBR-1700TX, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the FBR-1700TX as the Default Route or Default Gateway. Local Router The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the FBR1700TX. This router requires that the Default Route is the FBR-1700TX itself.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide Routing Example Router A (192.168.1.80) (192.168.0.100) Segment 1 Segment 0 (192.168.1.xx) (192.168.0.xx) Broadband Router Router B (192.168.1.90) (192.168.2.70) (192.168.0.1) Segment 2 (192.168.2.xx) Figure 23: Routing Example For the LAN shown above, with 2 routers and 3 LAN segments, the required entries would be as follows. For the FBR-1700TX's Routing Table The FBR-1700TX requires 2 entries as follows. Entry 1 (Segment 1) Destination IP Address 192.
Routing For Router A's Default Route Destination IP Address 0.0.0.0 Network Mask 0.0.0.0 Gateway IP Address 192.168.0.1 (FBR-1700TX's IP Address) For Router B's Default Route Destination IP Address 0.0.0.0 Network Mask 0.0.0.0 Gateway IP Address 192.168.1.

LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide Port Range: Start The beginning of the range of port numbers used by the application server, for data you send to it. If the application uses a single port number, enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields. Port Range: Finish The end of the range of port numbers used by the application server, for data you send. Incoming Protocol The protocol (TCP or UDP) used when the application or service sends data to you.
Advanced Internet Virtual Servers This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because: • Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address. • Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device. The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your servers, as illustrated below. 192.168.0.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide IP Address seen by Internet Users Note that, in this illustration, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP Address, but using different protocols. To Internet users, all virtual Servers on your LAN have the same IP Address. This IP Address is allocated by your ISP, and can be checked on the "WAN Status" screen. This address should be static, rather than dynamic, to make it easier for Internet users to connect to your Servers.
Advanced Internet Virtual Server Configuration The Virtual Servers screen is reached by the Advanced Internet - Virtual Servers link. An example screen is shown below. Figure 28: Virtual Server Screen. Simply select the Server type or types you wish to use, enter the IP Address of the server on your LAN, and click "Save". For each entry, the PC must be running the appropriate Server software.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide User Defined Virtual Servers If the type of Server you wish to use is not listed on the Virtual Servers screen, you can define it. Select Advanced Internet - User Defined Virtual Servers to see the following screen.

Protocol Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used by the Server.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide Connecting to the Virtual Servers Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use the IP Address allocated to this device by your ISP, as shown on the WAN Status screen. e.g. http://203.70.212.52 ftp://203.70.212.52 It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic. If using a Fixed IP Address, it is entered on the WAN screen.
Advanced Internet Exposed Computer This feature, if enabled, allows one (1) computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on the Internet, allowing unrestricted 2-way communication between the "Exposed Computer" PC and other Internet users or Servers. This allows connection to special-purpose servers which require proprietary client software, or 2-way user connections such as Video-conferencing, which requires both users to run special software.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide Configuring the Exposed Computer Select Advanced Internet from the navigation bar, then Exposed Computer.
Advanced Internet Data LAN IP Address LAN IP Address Enter the IP Address of the PC on your LAN which will become the "Exposed Computer" PC. If using DHCP, the LAN IP Address of a PC may change. To solve this problem, you can use either of these methods: • Assign a fixed IP Address to the Exposed Computer PC, ensuring that its IP Address is NOT within the address range allocated by the DHCP Server.
Chapter 9 Access Control 9 This Chapter explains how to configure and use the FBR1700TX's "Access Control" feature.
