Introduction

Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) has always been an attractive option for Internet asccess. It has all the benefits of optical fiber. It provides a future-proof network, in that you do not have to go through the hassles of upgrading from ADSL to xDSL, or digital co-ax to digital wireless. It does not have to struggle with electromagnetic interference problems, and with no active “outside-plant” components, it offers the highest reliability. Moreover, it does not require electric power and is immune to lightning and other transients. These properties of fiber lead to the lowest possible power and operational costs, such as maintenance, provisioning and facilities planning.

The EC3805 smart NAT router is an ideal Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) for an ETTH system. The CPE provides four standard 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 Ethernet port for connecting to a customer’s PC, switch, or other network device using twisted-pair cable.

Features:

Bridging Features

 Supports self-learning bridge specified in IEEE 802.1d Transparent

Bridging

 Supports up to 4096 learning MAC addresses  Transparent Bridging among 10/100 Mb Ethernet interface  Supports IGMP Snooping  Supports 802.1Q VLAN packet  Supports one 100BaseFX port

Routing Features

 NAT (Network Address Translation) / NPAT (Port Address Translation)

ALGs (Application Level Gateways): such as NetMeeting, MSN Messenger,FTP, Quick Time, Real Player, VPN pass-through with multiple sessions, SIP, etc.

 Port Forwarding: the users can setup multiple virtual servers (e.g., Web,

FTP, Mail servers) on user’s local network.

 DHCP Client/Server  Time protocol can be used to get current time from network time server  Support IP/Bridge QoS for prioritize the transmission of different traffic

classes

 Supports IGMP Snooping and Proxy  Support 802.1Q VLAN Tagging  Supports one 100BaseFX port

Chapter 2: System Requirement and Installation

System Requirement

To access the NAT Smart Router via Ethernet, the host computer must meet the following requirements:

 Equipped with an Ethernet network interface.  Have TCP/IP installed.  Allow the client PC to obtain an IP address automatically or set a fixed IP address.  With a web browser installed: Internet Explorer 5.x or later.

The NAT Smat Router is configured with the default IP address of 192.168.1.254 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Considering that the DHCP server is Enable by default, the DHCP clients should be able to access the Smart Router, or the host PC should be assigned an IP address of the same subnet and related subnet mask (for example, IP address of

192.168.1.100 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0) first for initial configuration.

After configuring the IP of host PC, you also can manage the Smart Router through a web-based manager. The ADSL Router manager uses the HTTP protocol via a web browser to allow you to set up and manage the device.

Connecting to ADSL Modem and Client PC

Follow the steps below to connect the related devices.

1. Please attach one end of the Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector to the LAN port of the ADSL Modem.

2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the WAN port of the Smart Router.

3. Attach one end of another Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector to the LAN port of the Smart Router.

4. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port of the host PC.

5. Connect the supplied power adapter to the PWR port of your Smart Router, and plug the other end to a power outlet.

Setting up IP address of Host PC

In the case the DHCP server function of the Smart Router is disabled or you want to configure the IP address of the host PC, please follow the steps below for installation.

1. Open the Start menu, point to Network and Dial-up Connections and click it.

2. Right-click the Local Area Connection icon to pull down a window and then click

Properties.

3. The Local Area Network Properties window appears. On the General tab: highlight

Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click Properties.
