Parameters Description Current Password Enter your current password for the remote management administrator to login to your Broadband router.
Parameters Description Host Address This is the IP address of the host in the Internet that will have management/configuration access to XRT-D from a remote site. This means if you are at home and your home IP address has been designated the Remote Management host IP address for this router (located in your company office), then you are able to configure this router from your home. If the Host Address is left 0.0.0.
3.2 WAN Use the WAN Settings screen if you have already configured the Quick Setup Wizard section and you would like to change your Internet connection type. The WAN Settings screen allows you to specify the type of WAN port connect you want to establish with your ISP. In the XRT-D’s WAN. The WAN settings offer the following selections for the router’s WAN port, Dynamic IP, Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, Telstra Big Pond, Qos, Policy, DNS and DDNS.

Once you have made a selection, click at the bottom of the screen and proceed to the manual’s relevant sub-section 3.2.1 Dynamic IP Choose the Dynamic IP selection if your ISP will automatically give you an IP address.
3.2.7 WAN Policy ( XRT-402D/104D ) The WAN policy for multi-homing can be setup here. You can setup policy for each WAN separately. The router will balance the load between all active WAN ports according to the Send/Receive rate of the WAN ports. You can setup an IP for the router to detect if the WAN line is connected. If the router fails to ping the IP, it would recognize the WAN line as not connected, and will stop directing the Internet traffic to this WAN port.
3.2.8 QoS ( XRT-402D/104D ) The QoS can let you classify Internet application traffic by source/destination IP, MAC address and port number. You can assign priority for each type of application and reserve bandwidth for it. The packets of applications with higher priority will always go first. Lower priority applications will get bandwidth after higher priority applications get enough bandwidth.
Edit a QoS rule Select the rule you want to edit and click “Edit”, then you will enter the detail form of the QoS rule. Click “Apply” after editing the form and the rule will be saved. Adjust QoS rule priority You can select the rule and click “Move Up” to make its priority higher. You also can select the rule and click “Move Down” to make its priority lower.
dash “-“, for example “101-150” means from port number 100 to port number 150 – the range of 50 port numbers. Destination Port Range Enter the destination port range of the packets that this rule will apply to. You can assign a single port number here or assign a range of port numbers by assigning the first port number and the last port number of the range. The two numbers are separated by a dash “-“, for example “101-150” means from port number 100 to port number 150 – the range of 50 port numbers.

Parameters Default Description UPnP Feature Disable You can Enable or Disable UPnP feature here. After you enable the UPnP feature, all client systems that support UPnP, like Windows XP, can discover this router automatically and access the Internet through this router without any configuration. The NAT Traversal function provided by UPnP can let applications that support UPnP smoothly connect to Internet sites without any incompatibility problem due to the NAPT port translation.
Parameters Description Enable Protocol & Port Binding The “Protocol and Port Binding” function is default disabled. You can select to enable the “Protocol and Port Binding” function. Source IP Range Only packets with this assigned source IP range will statically bind to the assigned WAN port. If you assign 192.168.0.3 – 192.168.0.5, it means 3 IP addresses: 192.168.0.3, 192.168.0.4 and 192.168.0.
Add a Rule Fill in the "Source IP Range", "Destination IP Range”, “Source Port Range”, "Destination Port Range", "Protocol" or "WAN Port" of the setting to be added and then click "Add". Then this rule of Protocol and Port Binding will be added into the "Protocol and Port Binding Table" below. If you find any typo before adding it and want to retype again, just click "Clear" and the fields will be cleared.

Appendix A How to Manually find your PC’s IP and MAC address 1) In Window’s open the Command Prompt program 2) Type ipconfig /all and 60
· · · Your PC’s IP address is the one entitled IP address (192.168.0.7) The router’s IP address is the one entitled Default Gateway (192.168.0.
Glossary Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address.
ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations. LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.
Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC). TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP).
