Operating Mode:
o
NAT: NAT stands for Network Address Translation that hides internal IP addresses. Like a two-way
mirror (transparent mirror), NAT is like a protective wall that packets inside can pass through this
wall and being transferred to the outside, but the outside can only see the IP Address of “the wall”.
o
Router: Router mode is used when LAN client IPs are meant to be visible to WAN side for example
if clients hold real IPs.
ƒ
Network Interface: IP address and Subnet Mask of this VLAN.
ƒ
DHCP Server:
o
Enable DHCP: Make OWL800 your DHCP server.
o
Domain Name: Domain Name looks like “domain.com” that is a better memorable term to IP
address. Client looks up a website by entering its domain name or its IP address.
o
WINS Server: WINS is short for windows internet name. WINS server translates Windows
computer names to IP addresses. To see the full computer name: right click “My Computer” icon
and scroll down to “Properties”.
o
Lease Time: A Lease Time is the time period that DHCP server permits DHCP client to use a
particular IP address. Shorter lease time is set for clients with the higher mobility. For example,
clients in a commercial fair, exhibition, or around a hotel hotspot, come to this service zone for a
quick internet surf and leave.
o
Disable DHCP: Disable OWL800’s DHCP function.
