Router Installation
Desktop Hardware Installation
The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When
installing, consider the following pointers:
Note: The router model may be different than the one shown in the example
illustrations.
•Install the Router in a fairly cool and dry place.
•Install the Router in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such
as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
•Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.
•Install the Router on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an
EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the
next section, Rack Mounting.
•When installing the Router on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the
bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub
case from scratching.
Rack Mount Hardware Installation
The router can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in
a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at the router’s
front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.
Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each router in the rack.
Note: The look of the router may be different than what is actually displayed.

Below is a reference of the additional LAN settings if you choose to make other
configuration changes to these sections.
General Setup
•Status –LAN Interface (br-lan)
oUptime –Displays the amount time the LAN interface has been up and
continuously running. This time will reset if the router is powered off
or router is rebooted.
oMAC-Address –Displays the current MAC address assigned to the LAN
interface.
oRx –Displays the total amount of data received by the LAN interface in
MB (# of packets) since the start of the currently displayed uptime.

translation between the local internal (LAN/VLAN) interfaces and
external (WAN1/WAN2) interfaces translating public and private IP
addressing.
oRoute Only (NAT-less) –This mode disables the NAT function between
internal and external interfaces and may also be known as classical
routing mode. This mode should only be used when the router is using
for local internal IP routing only

•Override MAC Address –This parameter allows you to assign a new LAN
interface (br-lan) MAC address. Typically, this parameter does not need to be
modified. (e.g. AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF)
•Override MTU –The default MTU (maximum transfer unit) or frame size is set
to 1500 bytes. This parameter allows you to assign a new MTU size. Typically,
this parameter does not need to be modified.

•WINS server –Enter the IPv4 address of your WINS (Windows Internet Name
Server) for internal host name resolution on your local network to be
distributed to DHCP clients. The WINS server provides host name to IP address
resolution for the NetBIOS naming service. This parameter is optional. (e.g.
192.168.50.250)
•Primary DNS –Enter the IPv4 address of your primary DNS (Domain Name
System) server for Internet domain name resolution to be distributed to DHCP
clients. By default, the internal DHCP server uses DNS relay and provides the
router LAN IPv4 address as the primary DNS server to DHCP clients. The DNS
server provides Internet domain name to IP address resolution when
computers are accessing or browsing Internet websites. This parameter is
optional. (e.g. If entering 8.8.8.8, this DNS server will be provided DHCP clients
instead of the router’s LAN IPv4 address to resolve Internet domain names such
as trendnet.com )
•Secondary DNS –Enter the IPv4 address of your secondary DNS (Domain Name
System) server for Internet domain name resolution to be distributed to DHCP
clients. If the primary DNS server cannot be reached, the secondary DNS server
will be used. This parameter is optional. (e.g. 8.8.4.4)
•Local domain name –Enter a domain name to distribute to DHCP clients. This
parameter is optional. (e.g. trendnet.com)
Below is a reference of the additional DHCP Server/Relay settings if you choose to make
other configuration changes to these sections.

Advanced Settings
•Dynamic DHCP –Checking this option the enables the DHCP server to
distribute IPv4 address settings dynamically to clients. If this option is
unchecked, IPv4 address settings will only be assigned to DHCP clients with a
static DHCP reservation. Typically, this parameter does not need to be
modified.
•Log Queries –Checking this option will enable generate logging to internal or
syslog of any DNS queries. Typically, this parameter does not need to be
modified.
Add static DHCP reservations
Network > LAN
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on page 6).
2. Click on Network and click LAN.
3. Under the Static Leases section, click Add.
4. Enter the parameters for the static DHCP reservation and click Apply to save and
commit the changes.
Note: The network device or computer the reservation is created will need to release and
renew the IPv4 address settings in order to obtain the new IP address settings.
•Hostname –Enter a name for the DHCP reservation. (e.g. trendnetpc)
•MAC-Address –Enter the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the
computer or network device to assign to the reservation. You can also click the
drop-down list to select from a list of network devices detected by the router
that have been assigned IPv4 address settings through DHCP. (e.g.
AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF)
•IPv4-Address –Enter the IPv4 address to assign to the computer or network
device for the reservation. You can also click the drop-down list to select from
list o of network devices detected by the router through DHCP. (e.g.
192.168.50.150)
Add static host name entries
Network > LAN
The router can be used for host name to IP address resolution of computers or network
devices on your local network similar to a WINS server however, entries will not
dynamically populate and each entry must be manually entered. For clients to resolve
the manually entered static entries, DHCP clients must use the router LAN IPv4 address
as the WINS server.
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on page 6).
2. Click on Network and click LAN.
3. Under the Host Entries section, click Add.

4. Enter the parameters for the static host name entry and click Apply to save and
commit the changes.
•Hostname –Enter the host name. (e.g. trendnetpc)
•IP Address –Enter the IPv4 address to resolve to host name. (e.g.
192.168.50.150)
Add static ARP entries
Network > LAN
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is the protocol responsible for resolve IP addresses to
hardware MAC addresses. Typically, ARP entries are dynamically learned and refreshed
in the ARP table however, in the case where your application requires static ARP entries
to always be present in the router ARP table, you can manually enter and add them to
the router. (ex. applications: WoL (Wake on LAN) or Wake on WAN)
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on page 6).
2. Click on Network and click LAN.
3. Under the Static ARP section, click the MAC-Address drop-down list to select a MAC
address from the list or select customer to manually enter a MAC address (format
example: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff).
4. Click the IPv4-Address drop-down list and select the IPv4 address to assign to the
MAC address ARP table entry or select custom to manually enter an IPv4 address
(format example: 192.168.10.129)
5. Click Apply to save and commit the changes.
Note: You can specify additional static ARP entries by clicking Add. Delete existing
entries by clicking the Delete button next to the entry to be removed.
