Operating Instructions

When stabilizing the IP address of a PC connected to the LAN (Home) side, it is necessary to enter 
the DNS server address into the PC for it to connect to the Internet. DNS relay shortens this 
troublesome process. Due to DNS relay, this product can inform PCs on the LAN (Home) network of 
its existence like a DNS server. Regarding DNS inquiries from the LAN (Home) side, this product 
contacts a specified DNS server on the WAN (Internet) side, on its behalf. Then it sends the reply back 
to PCs on the LAN (Home) side.

The setup page is displayed by clicking DNS Relay.

When connecting a DNS server to the LAN (Home) side, do not use DNS relay.

MTU is the largest possible packet that can be sent. The larger the value of MTU the bigger the packet 
can be, which is forwarded in one go. However, if the value of MTU is too big, the packet may be split, 
and forwarded in several parts. As a result, the forwarding speed is reduced. Usually, this product sets 
an appropriate MTU value automatically. Only modify it when necessary.

The setup page is displayed by clicking (MTU Size).

Data speed may be vastly reduced depending on the MTU settings.

This product sends/receives data to and from PCs on behalf of a 
DNS server.
The default is set to Enable.
When stabilizing a PC's IP address, enter this product's IP address 
(192.168.0.254) into the PC's DNS server address field.

The DNS relay function will not work. When stabilizing a PC's IP 
address, enter the DNS server address into the PC's DNS server 
address field.
