USING THE FAST ETHERNET CABLE TESTER
Cable Test is an advanced feature that integrates a LAN cable tester on every
Ethernet port on the router. Cable Test can be used to remotely diagnose and
report cable faults such as opens, shorts, swaps, and impedance mismatch. The
Cable Test feature significantly reduces service calls and returns by allowing you to
easily troubleshoot your own cable connections.
To use the cable tester:
1 Access the Configuration menu by following the instructions in To access
the Web-based configuration utility: on page 13.
UPNP To use the universal plug and play feature, click Enabled.
Gaming Mode Gaming mode allows a form of pass-through for certain Internet games. If you
are using Xbox, Playstation2, or a computer, make sure you are using the latest
firmware and that Gaming Mode is enabled. To utilize Gaming Mode, click
Enabled. If you are not using a gaming application, we recommend that you
disable Gaming Mode.
VPN Pass Through The router supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through for both PPTP
(Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec (IP Security). Once VPN
pass-through is enabled, there is no need to open up virtual services. Multiple
VPN connections can be made through the router. This is useful when you have
many VPN clients on the LAN network.
PPTP—click Enabled or Disabled
IPSec—click Enabled
or Disabled
Dynamic DNS The Dynamic Domain Name System is a method of keeping a domain name
linked to a changing IP address. This is a useful feature since many computers do
not use a static IP address.
