Benq AWL-700 Manuel D’Utilisation

There are three ways to acquire AWL700’s WAN IP address. The first one is to assign 

its WAN interface as a static valid IP address. Or, the users can acquire AWL700’s 

WAN IP address by PPPoE and it does not require the users to install PPPoE client 

software in their own hosts. The third one is  to  obtain  DHCP  server.  Some  service 

providers offer their clients IP

 

addresses by DHCP protocol, and AWL700 can act as a 

DHCP client via its 10/100 base-TX WAN port to acquire its WAN IP address. In fact, 

AWL700 is a convenient device, because it provides both 10/100 base-TX WAN port 

and 10/100 base-TX LAN ports for users to acquire IP address to share. 

AWL700 can act as a DHCP server in its LAN side, and this function can be performed 

without users to configure their own IP addresses. When users are booting their 

machines, AWL700 will assign each machine with an IP address and other useful 

information, such as DNS server’s IP address etc. 

Users can set up different kinds of servers behind their AWL700 and remote users can 

access these inside servers via AWL700’s virtual server functionality. 

AWL700 is also guarded by NAT-type firewall. A NAT-type firewall provides users a 

secure LAN environment and it also denies access for any anonymous people who 

might have bad intensions on your network. 

Users can configure and manage AWL700 from their own web browsers (IE or 

Netscape). This means that users could manage AWL700 no matter where they are and 

without any proprietary application installed in their PC. 

AWL700 provides an efficient way to upgrade firmware. Users can use web browser to 

do firmware upgrades and the device also allows TFTP clients to perform this task.
