Congratulations on your purchase of this outstanding IGR-1500 Four-WAN Internet Gateway, this product is

specifically designed for the office that has the need to enlarge the usage bandwidth with several narrow

bandwidth connections in company.

IGR-1500 features with 4 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports (WAN port) and one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port (LAN

port). WAN port is using to connect to broadband transmission equipments such as ADSL modem or CABLE

modem for user and far end to download or upload data in high speed; the LAN port works to connect to

computer via cable. You can also connect LAN port with HUB/SWITCH device to extend the amount of

connection device/user if necessary. Families with multiple PCs could share one ISP account and play

exciting games against each other through IGR-1500. The switch function could also reduce the traffic in

internal LAN.

3.3 System Status

3.3.1 Link Status

You can get the following information in Link Status window: (Figure 3-4)

- LAN Status

- WAN Status

- Firmware Version

- DHCP Table

Figure 3-4 Link Status

LAN Status: Shows the information of MAC Address, IP Address, Subnet Mask and DHCP Status

(Enable/Disable).

WAN Status: Shows the information of MAC Addres s, IP Address, Subnet Mask and WAN Status on each

or all WAN ports

Firmware version: version of software and its released date.
DHCP Table: Shows the information of MAC Address and IP Address.

13

3.3.2 Data Monitor

Differ with Link Status window, Data Monitor window provides detail packet transfer status. It includes 2 kinds

of real time data per each WAN port. (Figure 3-5)

 Current Session:

 TCP Session:

 UDP Session:

 ICMP Session:

 Total Session:

 Current Bandwidth:

 Download Speed:

 Upload Speed

 Accumulative Data Counter:

 Usage (%): For example, WAN1 usage% =

(WAN1+WAN2) total packets

 Byte Received

 Byte Transmitted

Figure 3-5 Data Monitor

WAN1 total packets %

 Total Bytes: Total packets transfer by each WAN port

14

 NA T Table: list current user detail NAT data. (Figure 3-6)
 Refresh: update data monitor table to display newest data
 Clear Counter: reset Data Counter data to 0, and restart to accumulate the packets.

Figure 3-6 NAT Table

The packets start to accumulate from:

1. Router powers on

2. Clear counter

3. Counter reaches upper the limitation (4294967K), and then the counter will reset to 0

automatically.

15

3.4 WAN Configure

There are several WAN function can be made in this display, you can configure functions to each WAN port

separately.

 Connect to:

 Internet: WAN port is connected to Internet through ADSL/Cable modem
 Intranet: WAN port is connected to another router LAN port, work together with “Static Route”

function, can restrict specific IP packet to a dedicate route path.

 Healthy Check:

 Enable: Enable the feature to check whether the WAN link is alive or not. System provides 3

methods to check the WAN link, Ping IP, DNS, and Time Server; you can choose it

with each method or both. It is suggested to select at least 2 methods to check the

WAN link, in order to avoid router making wrong action due to Internet Server

disable. (Figure 3-7)

 Disable: If “Time Server” does not exist, this function will disable automatically.

Figure 3-7 Healthy Check

 Dynamic IP: Connect to Cable Modem and obtain an IP address from ISP automatically.
 PPPoE: Connect to Dial Up DSL (Gateway / Basic NAT Mode only)
 Static IP: Connect to Leased DSL
 Schedule: This function allows you to control each WAN port link up/down time by daily/weekly.

 Start Time: (hh:mm)
 End Time: (hh:mm)
 Weekly: choose by day

When you enable Schedule function, the WAN connection will follow the Schedule to link up or down,

no matter DOD (Dial-on-demand) function is enabled or disabled.

16

 WAN Link Mode: You can choose the WAN interface type in order to follow the connecting type of ISP.

 Auto Sense
 10Mbps Half Duplex
 10Mbps Full Duplex
 100Mbps Half Duplex
 100Mbps Full Duplex

3.4.1 WAN Type – Dynamic IP

Usually it's used to connect CABLE modem. You won't need to assign IP address, and the IGR-1500 will get

the IP address for ISP automatically. (Figure 3-8)

Figure 3-8 Dynamic IP

 Gateway / Basic Mode: When you choose Dynamic IP, you only need to save this selection, and reboot

router when you finish configuring all parameter.

 Router Mode: For Intranet use only, IGR-1500 can obtain IP from DHCP Server automatically.

17

3.4.2 WAN Type – PPPoE

Connect to ISP via dial-up connecting, ISP will assign a legal IP to you after the user Id and password had

been passed. (The user Id and password here are provided by your ISP.) (Figure 3-9)

Figure 3-9 PPPoE

 Account: The user name provided by ISP, the character can be entered up to 60.
 Password: The password provided by ISP, the character can be entered up to 60.
 Service Name: This is optional. The Service name is needed if ISP requires for it.
 Max. Idle Time (min): The default value is 0, means not to check the idle time, so the connection will

remain connecting unless user disconnects it by manually.

 Dial On Demand: Auto connect function

 Manual: You need to initiate WAN connection manually, by clicking WAN1 connect or WAN2

connect button in System Status Æ Link Status menu. However, power up or
reset also can initiate the WAN connection.

 Dial-on-demand: Whenever a user is trying to access the Internet from his computer, this

WAN port will start connection automatically if it is disconnected.

 Always-on: The WAN port will try to establish the connection as long as it is disconnected,

no matter this port is used or not.

18

About “Always-on” function, normally you need to combine "Healthy Check" function together, then

"Always-on" can work more perfectly because there is an ADSL modem between router & ISP equipment. In

physical layer, if ADSL line fails but ADSL modem is still alive, and router can not detect the line status unless

ISP sends a disconnected packet to router. So if ADSL line is in abnormal up-down, sometimes router can not

get disconnect packet from ISP. Maybe in ISP side, it treats line as disconnected status, but router seems like

to be still in "connecting" status.

If you enable "Healthy Check" in each line, then router can automatically send packet out through WAN to

detect whether line is active or not. (1 packet per 30 sec) This function will be helpful to judge the line status,

and provide correct information to router for the Link Status.

It's better to enable at least 2 options in "Healthy Check", in order to avoid misjudgments when only 1

option is selected and the option server fails to respond the request.

3.4.3 WAN Type – Static IP

When user applied the leased line from ISP, the service provider will offer user the real IP, Subnet Mask,

Gateway and DNS. You need to indicate the static IP manually. (Figure 3-10)

Figure 3-10 Static IP

19

3.5 Bandwidth Usage

This is a very useful function, it can let you to control WAN port bandwidth usage by each protocol. Like FTP,

when someone uses FTP to transfer file, it will occupy heavy loading by using this function, so you can limit

the dedicated application bandwidth as you want to.

For example:

In following display, FTP, HTTP & Mail bandwidth will be limited in certain percentage. This router provides 3

most often use protocol in the table, and you just need to fill in port number and % usage for each application:

 Select WAN Port: Select the WAN interface for the bandwidth definition
 WAN Speed: Enter the upload and download speed provided by ISP

 Upload (kbits/s)
 Download (kbits/s)

 Usage Set:

 Protocol: name of protocol data packet will be limited.
 Port: protocol port number
