and modify LAN’s networks ID(for example, system will change LAN IP
from 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.11.1) when system uses DHCP client to get IP
in startup; if system uses DHCP client to get IP in running status and
network ID is also same as LAN’s, system will refuse to accept the IP to
configure WAN. So WAN’s active IP will be 0.0.0.0
5.3.2.2. LAN Config
LAN Config
Field name explanation
LAN IP Specify LAN static IP.
Netmask Specify LAN Netmask.
DHCP Service Select the DHCP server of LAN port or not. After you
modify the LAN IP address, gateway will amend and
adjust the DHCP Lease Table and save the result
amended automatically according to the IP address and
Netmask. You need restart the gateway and the DHCP
server setting will take effect.

the gateway will no longer set IP address for LAN
physical port，LAN and WAN will join in the same
network. Click “Apply”, the gateway will reboot.
Notice: If you choose the bridge mode, the LAN configuration will be

disabled.
5.3.2.3. Qos Config
The gateway support 802.1Q/P protocol and DiffServ configuration. VLAN
functionality can use different VLAN IDs by setting signal/voice VLAN and data
VLAN. The VLAN application of this device is very flexible.
In chart 1, there is two-layer switch without setting VLAN. Any broadcast frame will
be transmitted to the other ports except the send port. For example, a broadcast
information is sent out from port 1 then transmitted to port 2,3and 4.
In chart 2, red and blue indicate two different VLANs in the switch, and port 1 and
port 2 belong to red VLAN, port 3 and port 4 belong to blue VLAN. If a broadcast
frame is sent out from port 1, switch will transmit it to port 2, the other port in the
red VLAN and not transmit it to port3 and port 4 in blue VLAN. By this means, VLAN
divide the broadcast domain via restricting the range of broadcast frame transmit
ion.
Note: chart 2 use red and blue to identify the different VLAN, but in practice, VLAN
uses different VLAN IDs to identify.

QoS Configuration
Field name explanation
VLAN Enable Before select it to enable VLAN, you need enable Bridge
mode in LAN config.
VLAN ID Check
Enable
Enable VLAN ID check by selecting it. After enable
VLAN ID check, if VLAN ID of a data package is not the
same with the gateway or a data package do not have
VLAN ID, the data package will be discarded.
Voice/Data VLAN
differentiated
After enable VLAN, system will set packets with
different type of VLAN ID. Undifferentiated means after
using VLAN, both VoIP packets and other data packets
will use the voice VLAN ID; tag differentiated means
after using VLAN, VoIP(signal and voice) packets will
add voice VLAN ID, and other data packets will add data
VLAN ID; data untagged means after using VLAN, only
VoIP packets will add voice VLAN ID. Other data packets
will not use VLAN.
DiffServ Enable Select it or not to Enable or disable DiffServ.
DiffServ Value Set DiffServ value, the common value is 0x00.
Voice 802.1P
Priority Specify 802.1P Priority of voice/signal data package.
Data 802.1P
Priority Set 802.1p of data VLAN. Non-VoIP data (such as http, telnet, ping etc) will use this value to set VLAN package.
Voice VLAN ID Set VLAN ID of voice/signal data package.
Data VLAN ID Set 802.1q of data VLAN ID. Non-VoIP data (such as
http, telnet, ping etc) will use this value to set VLAN
package.
Notice：
1）Startup VLAN, if set Voice/Data VLAN differentiated as Undifferentiated, all
packets will use the Voice VLAN ID as the tag.
2) Startup VLAN, if set Voice/Data VLAN differentiated as tag differentiated
and disables the DiffServ, then system will not distinguish the voice and
data, all packets will use the Voice VLAN ID as the tag.
3) Startup VLAN, if set Voice/Data VLAN differentiated as tag differentiated
and enables the DiffServ, then system will distinguish the voice and data
and add the VLAN ID each other.

4) Startup VLAN, if set Voice/Data VLAN differentiated as data untagged, then
the packet of the signal/voice will use the Voice VLAN ID as the tag, but the
data packets will not take the VLAN tag.
5) If Disable the VLAN, regardless to set the Voice/Data VLAN differentiated or
not, all packets will not take the VLAN tag; If enable the DiffServ, all
packets will only take the DiffServ value.
6) One must to notice, enable the VLAN ID Check Enable that is default, If
enable it, the gateway will match the VLAN ID strictly. When others' VLAN
ID not matches with us, the packets will discard. Contrarily, the gateway
will accept the packets with the distinct VLAN ID.
7) You must gain the IP with the Static mode when you set VLAN, otherwise
can't gain the IP in the VLAN and also can not dial with point to point.
5.3.2.4. Service Port
You can set the port of HTTP/RTP by this page.
SERVICE PORT
Field name explanation
HTTP Port set web browse port, the default is 80 port，if you want
to enhance system safety，you'd better change it into
non-80 standard port；
Example: The IP address is 192.168.1.70. and the port
value is 8090, the accessing address is
http://192.168.1.70:8090
RTP Initial Port Set the RTP Initial Port. It is dynamic allocation.
RTP Port Quantity Set the maximum quantity of RTP Port, the default is
200.
Notice:
1）You need save the configuration and reboot the gateway after set this page.
2）If you modify the port of Telnet and HTTP, you would better set the value
more than 1024 because the port value less than 1024 is system port
reserved.
3）if you set 0 for the HTTP port, it will disable HTTP service.
