Click ADVANCED > SERVER to display the screen as shown next. Use this screen to set the

embedded web server, the LAN DHCP server and specify the e-mail server for e-mail

redirection on the ZyXEL Device.

Username Enter the user name exactly as your ISP assigned. If assigned a name in the form user@domain where domain identifies a service name, then enter both components exactly as given.

Password Enter the password associated with the user name above. PPP MTU Setting Enter the MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit) size.

TCP MSS Setting Enter the MSS (Maximum Segment Size) size.

Connection ID/Name Enter your identification name of the PPTP server assigned to you by the ISP. Connect on Demand Select this option when you don’t want the connection up all the time and

specify an idle timeout in the Max Idle Time field. This is the default setting with an idle timeout of 10 minutes.

The following table describes the fields in this screen.

LABEL DESCRIPTION

Web Server

HTTP Port Select this radio button if you want to access the ZyXEL Device using unsecured HTTP.

Specify the port number of the embedded web server on the ZyXEL Device for accessing the web configurator. The default port number is 80. Changing the port number helps protect the ZyXEL Device’s web configurator from hacker attacks.

Enter a number between 8010 and 8060 to access the web configurator behind a NAT-enabled network.

If you enter a number between 8010 and 8060, you need to append the port number to the WAN or LAN port IP address to access the web configurator. For example, if you enter “8010” as the web server port number, then you must enter “http://192.168.1.1:8010” where 192.168.1.1 is the WAN or LAN port IP address.

HTTPS Port Select this radio button if you want to access the ZyXEL Device using secure HTTPS.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security allows you to create secure connections between the ZyXEL Device and the management computer(s). Refer to the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Security chapter for more information.

Specify the port number of the embedded web server on the ZyXEL Device for accessing the web configurator. The default port number is 443. Changing the port number helps protect the ZyXEL Device’s web configurator from hacker attacks.

Enter a number between 4430 and 4440 to access the web configurator behind a NAT-enabled network.

If you enter a number between 4430 and 4440, you need to append the port number to the WAN or LAN port IP address to access the web configurator. For example, if you enter “4430” as the web server port number, then you must enter “https://192.168.1.1:4430” where 192.168.1.1 is the WAN or LAN port IP address.

Administrator Idle-

Timeout Type how many minutes a management session can be left idle before the session times out. The default is 5 minutes. After it times out you have to log in with your password again. Very long idle timeouts may have security risks. A value of "0" means a management session never times out, no matter how long it has been left idle (not recommended).

DHCP Server Select the DHCP mode on the LAN.

DHCP Disable Select this option to disable DHCP server on the LAN.

DHCP Relay Use this if you have a DHCP server (either a computer or another router) and you want that DHCP server to also assign network information (IP address, DNS information etc.) to the devices that connect to the ZyXEL Device. Select this option to set the ZyXEL Device to forward network configuration requests to a DHCP server.

Then configure the DHCP Server IP Address field. DHCP Server IP

Address If you select DHCP RelayWAN). , enter the IP address of a DHCP server (on the DHCP Server

(Default) Select this option to set the ZyXEL Device to assign network information (IP address, DNS information etc.) to Ethernet device(s) connected to the LAN port(s). This is the default setting.

IP Pool Starting

DHCP Pool Size This field specifies the size or count of the IP address pool. Enter a number not greater than 1024.

Lease Time Specify the time (in minutes between 1 and 71582788) a DHCP client is allowed to use an assigned IP address. When the lease time expires, the DHCP client is given a new, unused IP address.

Primary/Secondary

DNS Server Enter the IP address of the DNS server(s) in the Primary DNS IP Address and/or Secondary DNS IP Address fields.

Note: You must specify a DNS server.

Redirect IP Address or

Domain Name Specify the IP address or the domain name of the e-mail server to which the ZyXEL Device forwards e-mail. SMTP Port Enter the port number (25, or between 2500 and 2599) for the mail server. The

default is 25.
