This section will guide you through your Mega 100WR router’s configuration. The Mega
100WR router is shipped with the PPP configuration that is required to connect to Telkom ISP’s
network.
NOTE: The quickest way to configure your Mega 100WR when using a PC
running one of the Windows operating systems (OS), is described in the
printed Quick Start Guide (for other OSs’, use the Easy Start Guide on
the CD in PDF form) and it is suggested that these processes are followed
before attempting to make any connection. It is however possible for
advanced users to make use of the information given below to configure
your router, without having to use the utility.
NOTE:Before continuing, you should have your computer’s network card configured for
DHCP mode and have proxies disabled on your browser. Upon accessing the
Mega 100WR, if the browser still displays a login redirection screen, you should
check your browser's setting and ensure that the JavaScript support is enabled. If
the screen shown in Figure 4-2 is not attainable, you must delete your temporary
Internet files to clear the web cache.

The page in Figure 4-2 will now be displayed. This page is for configuring the basic
settings of your account. Please do not change the Protocol, VPI and VCI information
unless requested by your ISP – The default values are those required to achieve
connectivity through Telkom ISP, but other ISP’s may require different values. This
setup utility continues as per Figure 4-3 till Figure 4-7 and more or less explains its self.
A few additional comments are given below:
Page 14 of 54
Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
• It’s a good idea to change your SSID – this is the name of your Wi-Fi port.
Page 15 of 54
Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
• This setup process forces you to change the default Admin password for better security
• You should print out the summery page and keep it for future reference
Page 16 of 54
Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
• If you complete this process, and the router is unable to connect to the Internet, and you are
unable to solve the problem, then it is a good idea perform a “Default Reset” on the
router, and rather use the Setup Utility on the supplied CD to set your unit up.

Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
To enable or disable DHCP, click Basic, and select LAN Configuration. The Start IP Address is
where the DHCP server starts issuing IP addresses. This value should be greater than the ADSL
Router IP address value. For example if the ADSL Router IP address is 10.0.0.2 (default) than
the starting IP address should be 10.0.0.3 (or higher).
The End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops issuing IP addresses. The ending address
cannot exceed a subnet limit of 254. Hence the max value for our default gateway is10.0.0.254.
If the DHCP server runs out of DHCP addresses, users will not get access to network resources.
If this happens you can increase the Ending IP address (to the limit of 254), or if you are not
using as many PCs as you have allowed DHCP numbers and you are still having the problem,
then you should reduce the lease time.
The Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the ADSL
Router with their current dynamic IP address. The amount of time is in units of minutes; the
default value is 3600 minutes (60 hours).
Page 19 of 54
Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
Note: If you change the start or end values, make sure the values are still within the same subnet
as the gateways IP address. In other words, if the gateways IP address is 10.0.0.2 (default) and
you change the DHCP start/end IP addresses to be 192.128.1.2/192.128.1.100, you will not be
able to communicate to the ADSL Router if your PC has DHCP enabled.
In addition to the DHCP server feature, the ADSL Router supports the DHCP relay function.
When the ADSL Router is configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses to the LAN
clients. When the ADSL Router is configured as DHCP relay, it is responsible for forwarding the
requests and responses - negotiating between the DHCP clients and the server.
By turning off the DHCP server and relay the network administrator must carefully configure the
IP address, Subnet Mask and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Do not assign
the same IP address to more than one computer and your router must be on the same subnet as all
the other computers. See Figure 4-10.

Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
Diagnostic Test is used for investigating whether the ADSL Router is properly connected to the
WAN Network. See Figure 4-11. This test may take a few seconds to complete. To perform the
test, select your connection from the list and press the Test button. Before running this test,
make sure you have a valid DSL link.
After running the Diagnostic Test, the screen will indicate that the portion which pass or fail the
test. See Figure 4-12. Please click on the Help links, which will provide remedy to the problem.

4.5.4 Quickstart
PPPoE is also known as RFC 2516. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over
Ethernet. PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a method of establishing a network
connection/session between network hosts. It provides a mechanism of authenticating
users.
To configure the router for PPPoE, click on Advanced. Under WAN, select New
Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select
PPPoE and the PPPoE connection setup page is displayed. Give your PPPoE connection a
unique name; the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In this case
the unique name is called “quickstart”. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you
are connecting to the Telkom ADSL network, then use LLC. Select the VPI and VCI
settings use 8 and 35 for the Telkom network. Also select the quality of service (QoS);
leave the default value if you are unsure. See Figure 4-18
Page 26 of 54
Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
5. Keep Alive: When on-demand option is not enable, this value specifies
the time to wait without being connected to your ISP before
terminating the connection. To ensure that the link is always active,
enter a 0 in this field.
6. Enforce MTU: Check this box if you experience problems accessing
the Internet over a PPPoE connection. This feature will force all TCP
traffic to conform with PPP MTU by changing TCP Maximum
Segment Size to PPP MTU.
Your router’s default IP address and subnet mask are 10.0.0.2/255.255.255.0; this subnet
mask will allow the ADSL Router to support 254 users. If you want to support a larger
number of users you can change the subnet mask; but remember that the DHCP server is
defaulted to only give out 255 IP addresses. Further remember that if you change your
gateways’ IP address and you have DHCP enabled, the DHCP configuration must reside
within the same subnet. The default gateway is the routing device used to forward all
traffic that is not addressed to a station within the local subnet. The hostname can be any
alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces. The domain name is used to in
conjunction with the host name to uniquely identify the gateway. To access the Mega
100WR’s web pages, the user can type 10.0.0.2 (the default IP address) or type
domain.hostname. The apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the
change permanent you need to click on Save Settings (at the side of the page). Refer to

4.5.9 SNTP
SNTP (Simple Network Timing Protocol) is a protocol used to synchronize the system
time to the public SNTP servers. When the SNTP feature is enabled, your router will start
querying for the time clock information from the primary SNTP server. If it fails to get a
valid response within the “timeout” period, it will try for “retry” number of times, before
moving to the Secondary SNTP server. If it fails to get a valid response from Secondary
STNP server within valid retry times, it starts querying Tertiary SNTP server. If it fails to
get a valid response from all the servers, then the program stops. When a valid response is
received from one of the server, the program sleeps for “Polling_interval” amount of
minutes, before starting the whole process again. Use the following procedures to enable
SNTP.
Page 30 of 54
Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
4.5.10 SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a troubleshooting and management
protocol, which uses the UDP protocol on port 161 to communicate between clients and
servers. SNMP uses a manager MIB (management information base) agent solution to
fulfill the network management needs. The agent is a separate station that can request data
from an SNMP agent in each of the different managed system in the network. The agent
uses the MIBs as dictionaries of manageable objects. Each SNMP-managed device has at
least one agent that can respond to the queries from the NMS. The SNMP agent supports
GETS, SETS, and TRAPS for 4 groups with MIB-II: System, Interface, IP, and ICMP. The
SNMP agent supports three-community names authentication. See Figure 4-24.

Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
4.5.11 IP QoS
When QoS is enabled, the designated machine, application or person would have
precedence over peers when competing for bandwidth. The IP QoS Setup page allows you
to configure QoS for a connection, view previously configured QoS rules, add a new rule,
or delete an existing rule. Each output device has three priority queues associated with
transmit data. The high priority queues have strict priority over the medium priority and
low priority queues, and therefore can exhaust all available bandwidth. The web UI will
allow the user to select the weights of the medium and low priority queues in increments of
10 percent so that that the sum of the weights of the 2 queues is equal to 100 percent.
These queues will be serviced on a Round Robin priority basis according to the weights
assigned, after the high priority queues have been completely serviced. See Figure 4-25.
Page 32 of 54
Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
To enable Multicast, select the Enable IGMP Multicast button and select the available
connection. See Figure 4-26.
Page 33 of 54
Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
Dynamic DNS allows the user to register with a Dynamic DNS Provider as listed. The
dynamic DNS will be linked with the WAN IP of the router even after the ISP updates the
WAN IP to another IP address. It can be useful in web hosting and FTP services. See Figure
4-27.
Note: The Username/Password entered should be the same as the Username/Password you
specified during your registration of the DNS hostname.
Page 34 of 54
Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
To configure a service, game, or other application, select the WAN connection from the
Home screen, click Advanced, select Application, and select Port Forwarding. Next
select the IP of the computer hosting the service and add the corresponding firewall rule. If
you want to add a custom application, select the User category, click New and fill in the
Rule Name, Protocol and Port number for your application. . See Figure 4-29.
Page 35 of 54
Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
For example, if you want to host a Netmeeting session, from the Home screen, click
advanced select Application, select Port Forwarding. First select the IP address for your
Netmeeting server. Next select the Audio/Video category and add Netmeeting to the
applied rules box. To view the management rules, highlight Netmeeting and select view;
this will display the pre-configured protocols and ports that Netmeeting will use. Now
assuming that your WAN connection is correct, you can run Netmeeting from your server
and call users that are on the Internet. If they know your WAN IP address, users can now
call you. You should remember that Telkom ISP assigns a dynamic IP to your WAN port,
so your WAN IP is regularly changing. If you wish to have users outside the router (on the
internet) connect to a port that you have forwarded, they will have to know the current IP
address of the WAN port. A convenient way to overcome this is to make use of a DDNS
provider (see section on DDNS – 4.5.13).

Figure 4-31 shows the default Access Control screen. The Access Control is disabled by
default, remote management from the WAN side IP addresses is denied. Access to most
services from the LAN side IP addresses are enabled.
Page 37 of 54
Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
Remember:
1. Select Enable Access Control to enable this feature. (This will enable the IP Access
List field)
2. You can select an IP from the IP Access List, or enter a new IP and select ADD
3. Change the LAN and/or WAN configurations of the IP address
4. Click Apply.
The New Destination IP is the address of the remote LAN network or host to which you
want to assign a static route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you wish to create a
static route here. For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first three
fields of the New Destination IP, while the last field should be 0. The Subnet Mask
identifies which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the
host portion. For a full Class C Subnet, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. The Gateway
IP address should be the IP address of the gateway device that allows contact between the
Routers network and the remote network or host.
Page 38 of 54
Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
In other words, if you wish to have both a 10.0.0.0. network and a 192.168.1.0 network
locally , with a firewall or some other interconnecting device at 10.0.0.10, and wish to
have both local networks access the internet through your Mega 100W, you would set as
follows : new IP address = 192.168.1.0 mask = 255.255.255.0 and Gateway = 10.0.0.10
I.e.: if anybody on the 10.0.0.0 network is looking for any device on the 192.168.1.0
network (any of the 255 ip addresses in this range), the router will re-direct the requests to
follow the path via 10.0.0.10, and not via its own WAN interface as it would normally.
Page 39 of 54
Mega 100WR ADSL2+ Router - Manual
The protocol is dependent upon the entire network. Most networks support RIP v1. If RIP
v1 is selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v1 format. If RIP v2 is selected, routing
data will be sent in RIP v2 format using subnet broadcasting. If RIP v1 Compatible is
selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v2 format using multicasting. See Figure 4-33.
