Network

The Setup screen contains all of the router's basic setup functions. The device can be used in most network settings without changing any of the default values. Some users may need to enter additional information in order to connect to the Internet through an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or broadband (DSL, cable modem) carrier.

Host Name & Domain Name: Enter a host and domain name for the Router. Some ISPs (Internet Service Providers) may require these names as identification, and these settings can be obtained  from your ISP. In most cases, leaving these fields blank will work.

LAN Setting
This is the Router's LAN IP Address and Subnet Mask. The default value is 192.168.1.1 for IP address and 255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask.

Dual-WAN / DMZ Setting
Before choosing the following WAN Connection Type, please choose the Dual-WAN / DMZ Setting first.

DMZ

In order to allow such services, RV082 comes with a special DMZ port which is used for setting up public servers. The DMZ sits between the local network and the Internet. Servers on the DMZ are publicly accessible, but they are protected from attacks such as SYN Flooding. Use of the DMZ port is optional, it may be left unconnected.

Using the DMZ is preferred and, if practical, a strongly recommended alternative to Public LAN Servers or putting these servers on the WAN port where they are not protected and not accessible by users on the LAN.
Each of the servers on the DMZ will need a unique, publishable Internet IP address. The Internet Service Provider used to connect the network to the Internet should be able to provide these addresses, as well as information on setting up public Internet servers.
If you plan to use the DMZ Mode, contact your ISP for the Static IP information.
 

Subnet: If select Subnet, DMZ and WAN will be at different Subnet.
Specify DMZ IP Address: Enter the DMZ IP Address and Subnet Mask. If DMZ is selected, the WAN Connection type of DMZ will be Static IP option only.

Range: If select Range, DMZ and WAN will be at the same Subnet.
IP Range for DMZ port: Enter the IP Range for DMZ port.

WAN Connection Type:

Obtain an IP automatically:
If your ISP is running a DHCP server, select Obtain an IP automatically option. Your ISP will assign these values
(includes DNS Server) automatically. Or users can check the box of Use the Following DNS Server Addresses, and enter the specific DNS Server IP.  Multiple DNS IP Settings are common. In most cases, the first available DNS entry is used.

Static IP:
If you have a specify WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Address and DNS Server, select Static IP. You can get this information from your ISP.

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet):
You have to check with your ISP to make sure whether PPPoE should be enabled or not. If they do use PPPoE,
1.    Enter your Username and Password.
2.  If you select Connect on Demand option, the PPPoE connection will be disconnected if it has been
idle for a period longer than the Max Idle Time      setting.
3.  If you select Keep Alive option, the Router will keep the connection alive by sending out a few data
packets at Redial Period, so your Internet
     service thinks that the connection is still alive.

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol):

1.    Enter the Specify WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway Address that is provided by your ISP.
2.  Enter your Username and Password.
3.  If you select Connect on Demand option, the connection will be disconnected if it has been idle for a period longer than the Max Idle Time setting.
4.  If you select Keep Alive option, the Router will keep the connection alive by sending out a few data
packets at Redial Period, so your Internet
     service thinks that the connection is still alive.

Transparent Bridge
RV082 supports Transparent Bridge for connecting two network segments, and users do not need to change the attached network settings.

Enter the Specify WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Address, DNS Server, and enter the Internal LAN IP Range that will be bridged. The WAN and LAN of Transparent Bridge will be at the same subnet, and only one WAN of RV082 can be set as Transparent Bridge.

Heart Beat Signal 
Heart Beat Signal is a service used in Australia only. If you are using the Heart Beat Signal connection, check with your ISP for the User Name, Password and IP of Heart Beat Server information. If IP of Heart Beat Server is unknown, you can leave it blank.
