Respond to Ping on Internet WAN Port

If you want the firewall to respond to a 'ping' from the Internet, click the 'Respond to Ping on
Internet WAN Port' check box. This should only be used as a diagnostic tool, since it allows your
firewall to be discovered. Don't check this box unless you have a specific reason to do so.

Configuring LAN IP Settings

The LAN IP Setup menu allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and RIP. These
features can be found under the Advanced heading in the main menu of the browser interface.

LAN TCP/IP Setup

The firewall is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as a
DHCP server. The firewall's default LAN IP configuration is:
• LAN IP addresses—192.168.0.1
• Subnet mask—255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks,
and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP
addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers,
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration. The default setting for UPnP
is disabled. If disabled, the router will not allow any device to automatically control the resources,
such as port forwarding (mapping), of the router.
