Chapter 7
Options

This Chapter details the options available on the LevelOne WBR-1101TX's "Options" screen.

Overview

An example Options screen is shown below.

Figure 39: Options Screen

Password

Once a password is entered, it is required in order to change the device configuration. Passwords are case sensitive and can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters (no spaces or punctuation).

To create or change the password, enter the required password in both the New Password and Verify Password input fields.

When prompted for the password, leave the "User Name" blank.

 

DNS (Domain Name Server

 

NAT (Network Address Translation)

NAT allows PCs on your LAN to share a single external (Internet) IP Address. This IP Address is supplied by your ISP. Use the following to determine whether or nor you need NAT.

 

TFTP

TFTP (Trivial FTP) can be used to upgrade the firmware in the LevelOne WBR-1101TX. However, this is not normally required; there is a Windows utility available for this purpose.

Remote Management

This feature allows you to manage the LevelOne WBR-1101TX via the Internet.

Enable Remote Management
Enable to allow management via the Internet. If Disabled, this device will ignore management connection attempts from the WAN port.
Port Number
Enter a port number between 1024 and 65535 (8080 is recommended). This port number must be specified when you connect (see below).
Note: The default port number for HTTP (Web) connections is port 80, but using port 80 here will prevent the use of a Web "Virtual Server" on your LAN. (See Advanced Internet - Virtual Servers)
Current IP Address
You must use this IP Address to connect (see below).
This IP Address is allocated by your ISP. But if using a Dynamic IP Address, this value can change each time you connect to your ISP. So it is better if your ISP allocates you a Fixed IP Address.

 

To connect from a remote PC via the Internet

  1. Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser.
  2. In the "Address" bar, enter "HTTP://" followed by the WAN IP Address of the LevelOne WBR-1101TX. If the port number is not 80, the port number is also required. (After the IP Address, enter ":" followed by the port number.)
    e.g.
        HTTP://123.123.123.123:8080
This example assumes the WAN IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and the port number is 8080.

Routing Table

This link provides access to a standard static routing table.

Configuration is only required if your LAN contains other routers.

Refer to Chapter 8 - Routing for further details about Router configuration and using the Router screen.

 

Printer Port

This link will reveal the Printer Port screen, as shown below. Most users do not need to change these settings.

Logical Printers

No (L1, L2, L3)

These names can not be changed, and must be used when selecting the logical printer from your Unix system.
Pre-string (HEX)
Enter (in HEX) the series of printer commands to be sent to the attached printer BEFORE each print job.
Post-string (HEX)
Enter (in HEX) the series of printer commands to be sent to the attached printer AFTER each print job.
LF to CR/LF
If checked, Unix-style LF (line feed) characters at the end of each line will be converted to CR/LF (carriage return/line feed) pairs, as used in MSDOS and Windows.
