Basic Setup

In this chapter, we will introduce how to setup network settings for each port separately

3.1 Demands

1. For the external network, suppose your company uses DSL to connect Internet via fixed-IP. By this way, you should setup

WAN port of the DFL-1500 in advance.

2. There are some adjustment within your company, so the original network stucture has been changed. Now, you should

modify the configuration between the internal network (DMZ, LAN).

3. Your company needs more network bandwidth if it is insufficent for your company to connect to the external network.

Suppose there are many public IPs in your commpany. You would like to specify an unique public IP to a local server.

3.2 Objectives

1. Configure the network settings of the DFL-1500 WAN1 port.

2. Configure the network settings of the DFL-1500 DMZ1 and LAN1 ports.

3. We hope to assign another IP address to the same WAN port we have configured an existed IP address before.

3.3 Methods

1. Select the Fixed IP Address method in the page of DFL-1500 Basic Setup / WAN settings / WAN1 IP, and then configure

the related account and password in order to connet to the internet.

2. Configure the related network settings in the pages of the DFL-1500 Basic Setup / DMZ settings / DMZ1 Status、Basic

Setup / LAN settings / LAN1 Status.

3. Configure the IP alias in WAN1 port.

The features of the Virtual Server, VPN, Content Filter, and IDS can only be available while DFL-1500 connects to

the internet via DEFAULT WAN Link.
