3.4.1.5. Router with a Dial-up Connection
Fig. 31. TCP/IP settings for
Router with a Dial-up Connection
mode.
If the WIASA was set to be in
Router with a Dial-up Connection
mode, two IP addresses are
needed—one for the Ethernet/wireless LAN interfaces and the other for the WAN interface. The IEEE
802.11b interface and the Ethernet LAN interface share the LAN IP address. The LAN IP address
must be set manually to a private IP address, say
192.168.0.xxx
. The default IP address is
192.168.0.1
and the default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0
. In most cases, these default settings need no change.
As for the WAN IP address, it is obtained automatically by PPP from the ISP. Consult your ISP for
the correct
User name
,
Password
, and
Telephone number
settings.
The WIASA automatically disconnects the PPP dial-up connection after there has been no traffic to
the Internet for a period specified by
Idle disconnect time
.
NOTE:
If
Idle disconnect time
is set to 0, the PPP dial-up connection will not be disconnected.
The
AT commands
settings are for modem compatibility. The default AT commands for dial-up and
hang-up are suitable for most modems. However, if your modem or TA needs special AT commands
for these purposes, set them in the corresponding fields. You may need to consult the manual of the
modem or TA for proper AT commands.
3.4.2. DNS Proxy
The DNS Proxy component of the WIASA forwards DNS requests and reply messages between client
computers and DNS servers. To client computers, the WIASA acts like a DNS server; to DNS servers,
the WIASA acts like a client.
