Setup To set up your router with a basic configuration, from the Home page, select Setup. The page is divided into two subsections—LAN configuration and WAN configuration. LAN Configuration On one side of your router, you have your own Local Area network (LAN) connections. This is where you plug in your local computers to the router. The router is normally configured to automatically provide all PCs on your network with Internet addresses.
Ethernet Switch The router also has Ethernet switch capabilities for the 4 physical ports. Select the value for each enabled port. Values include auto, 10/half duplex, 100/half duplex, 100/half duplex, and 100/full duplex. Firewall / NAT Services The default setting for firewall and NAT services is enabled.

New Connection Before the router will pass any data between the LAN interface(s) and the WAN interface, the WAN side of the router must be configured.
Username: The username for the PPPoA access; this is provided by your DSL service provider or your ISP. Password: The password for the PPPoA access; this is provided by your DSL service provider or your ISP. Idle Timeout: Specifies that PPPoA connection should disconnect if the link has no activity detected for n seconds. This field is used in conjunction with the On-Demand feature. To ensure that the link is always active, enter a 0 in this field.
To configure the router as a bridge, from the Home page, click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select Bridge and the Bridge connection setup page is displayed. Give your Bridge connection a unique name; the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure just use the default mode.
Log Out To log out of configuration screen at any time, click on the Save button to save your configurations and then click on Log Out to exit. Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual Version 1.
Advanced The router supports a multitude of advanced features. For basic router functionality, the user does not need to utilize these advanced features. The features help with routing, security, port configuration, and plug-and-play capability. UPnp UPnP NAT and Firewall Traversal allow traffic to pass through the router for applications using the UPnP protocol. This feature requires one active DSL connection.
SNTP The main function of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is to provide the network with a precise time based on Internet standards. Enter the information of the SNTP server that you will be connecting to. When you click on the Enable SNTP checkbox, the grayed out fields will be available for you to enter the information. Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual Version 1.
Port Forwarding Using the Port Forwarding page, you can provide local services (for example web hosting) for people on the Internet or play Internet games. When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Port forwarding can be used with DHCP assigned addresses but remember that a DHCP address is dynamic (not static).
LAN Clients To add a LAN client, from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select LAN Clients. If DHCP is used, all DHCP clients are automatically assigned. If a fixed IP address server is on the LAN and you want this server to be visible via the WAN, you must add its IP address. Once the IP address has been added, you can apply Port Forwarding and Access Control rules to this IP address. The apply button will temporarily save this connection.

LAN Isolation LAN groups can be isolated from each other by blocking the LAN traffic from each group. TR-068 WAN Access The TR-068 WAN Access page allows for webpage update from the WAN side. Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual Version 1.
Bridge Filters The bridge filtering mechanism provides a way for the users to define rules to allow/deny frames through the bridge based on source MAC address, destination MAC address and/or frame type. When bridge filtering is enabled, each frame is examined against the defined filter rules sequentially, and when a match is determined, the appropriate filtering action (determined by the access type selected, i.e. allow or deny) is performed.
Web Filters Web filters allow you to enable or disable certain computer applications to run. Dynamic DNS Client The router can also act as a dynamic DNS client connecting to one of the DNS servers listed. Enter the user name and password that has been provided.

IGMP Proxy IGMP Proxy allows for forwarding of multicast traffic between networks. Static Routing If the router is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-defined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through the router.
Dynamic Routing Dynamic Routing allows the router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network. The router, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network. The Direction determines the direction that RIP routes will be updated. Selecting In means that the router will only incorporate received RIP information.
Policy Database The Policy Database page allows you to route packets based on the various fields in the packet. Fields that can be configured for this policy routing include the following— l l l l l l l l Destination IP Address / Mask Source IP Address / Mask Source MAC Address Protocol—TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc. Source Port Destination Port Incoming Interace DSCP Policy routing if selected, used the egress interface. Therefore the ingress interface is not applicable if policy routing is used.
Ingress Ingress is the direction of traffic entering a network. QoS can be configured on a per interface basis. Select the interface—USB, Ethernet, Bridge—that needs to be configured. Egress Egress is the direction of a frame exiting an interface—USB, Ethernet, Bridge. Zhone 6388-A2 4-Port Wi-Fi with In-Line Filter User Manual Version 1.
Shaper The shaper provides a way of determining priorities of different traffic classes. Access Control Specific types of traffic that is destined to a selected LAN IP address can be blocked. To enable any of the Access Control features, from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select Access Control. All Access Control rules have precedence over rules that were added via the port-forwarding page. The apply button will temporarily save this connection.

To hide the SSID from users on the LAN, click on the Hide this SSID checkbox and then click on Add and Apply buttons to finish.
Security The Wireless Security screen contains the settings for applying security to your wireless LAN. Select a security type— If None is selected, then there is nothing else to do. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). Users of the wireless LAN must supply an encryption key, as defined on this screen. If an Authentication Type of Shared is selected, the client must properly encrypt a packet sent by the router using the encryption key; however, this method allows hackers to deduce the key.
802.1x. This security level uses a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) authentication server to manage network access. Specify the address of the RADIUS server, the Port, the shared Secret, and the Interval in seconds at which authentication must be repeated. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access).
