System Configuration
System Information
•System Name: The system name of the DSA-5100. Used for SNMP purposes. The default is DSA-5100.
•Administrator Info: Information on how to contact the system administrator can be entered here. The administrator’s
name, phone number, and e-mail address can be entered here. If a user connects to the DSA-5100 and WAN1 has a
connection problem, the user logon screen will show the system administrator information that was entered here.
•Succeed Page: Enter a URL to direct users to once they have been authenticated. Typically this would be a company
web page such as www.dlink.com.
•Remote Management IP: When enabled, the IP address entered has the ability to manage the DSA-5100 via the
WAN1 interface. This allows the system at the specified IP address to manage the DSA-5100 over the Internet.
•Access History IP: The IP address of your billing system should be entered here to allow the billing system to access
the DSA-5100’s billing history information.
•SNMP: The DSA-5100 supports SNMP v2 read only data access. The administrator can specify the IP address and the
SNMP community name to determine the target of the management information base (MIB) exported from the DSA-5100.
•User Logon SSL: When enabled, the user logon is secure using https. If disabled, standard http is used.
•Time:The DSA-5100 supports NTPTime Server configuration for accurately synchronizing the network time. If NTP is
enabled,youcan enter an NTPserverfor time synchronization.Thealternateoption is Set Device Dateand Time,which
allows you to manually specify the time.

System Configuration
DSA-5100 Installation Guide
IP PNP: When enabled, you can use any IP address to connect to the Public LAN.You can authenticate to the DSA-5100
and access network resources regardless of your IP configuration. Note: This function only works when NAT is used.
Mobile IP: This option allows a user to use the same IP configuration across a network using several DSA-5100 units.
Global LAN Configuration
You can set the system to Enable or Disable the IP PNP or mobile IP options for the public LAN and private LAN
simultaneously.
Interface Configuration
The Interface Configuration options only vary slightly between the Public LAN, Private LAN, and VLAN Configurations.
The VLAN Configuration is the only configuration that provides the VLAN Tag option. The Private LAN Port doesn’t have
the option for UserAuthentication.
• VLAN: Enable or disable the VLAN option (only applicable in the Public LAN and VLAN Interface Configuration).
• Enable User Authentication: Controls user authentication per selected interface when enabled. The default is
disabled.
•Operation Mode:
NATMode: In this mode, all IP addresses that are connected through the Public LAN Port are converted into the IP
address of the WAN1 Port for external communication.
Router Mode: All IP addresses that are connected through the Public LAN Port use their individual IP addresses for
external communication. In this mode, the DSA-5100 acts like a Router.
• IP Address: The IP address to be used for the selected interface.
• Subnet Mask: The subnet mask to be used for the selected interface.
