I'm not familiar with the router you mention, though the general principles will be similar. Firstly given you have 5 static IP addresses the Hitron will not perform NAT or offer DHCP to devices connection to it.

The default configuration for your Hitron is that the first of the usable IP addresses will be configured on it, so you need to manually configure the next IP in the range on your router as a static address on it's WAN interface. The subnet mask to use will be 255.255.255.248. You should also set the default route or next hop address (your router might use either term) to be the IP address of the Hitron.

Then you would configure your router as standard.

Let us know how you get on - the config you are trying to setup is one I use, albeit with a Draytek router.
