•
Figure 1: Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router
Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router Features
The Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully
designed to provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
• Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet
through the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router, using only a single external IP Address.
The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called
NAT (Network Address Translation).
DSL & Cable Modem Support. The Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router has a
•
10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL
and Cable Modems are supported. SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia) login support is
also included.
PPPoE, PPTP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond Support. The Internet (WAN
•
port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol), SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as "Direct Connection" type
services.

Broadband Router User Guide
•
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the Gigabit
Ethernet Broadband Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on
connection) and Fixed IP Address.
Advanced Internet Functions
• Communication Applications. Support for Internet communication applications, such
as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing applications, which are often difficult
to use when behind a Firewall, is included.
•
Special Internet Applications. Applications which use non-standard connections or
port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow such
applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.
• Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your
LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
•
DMZ. One (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way
communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ab ility
to run programs which are incompatible with Firewalls.
•
URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.
Internet Access Log. See which Internet connections have been made.
•
Access Control. Using the Access Control feature, you can assign LAN users to differ-
•
ent groups, and determine which Internet services are available to each group.
•
VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software
using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.
LAN Features
• 4-Port Switching Hub. The Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router incorporates a 4-port
10/100/1000BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
•
DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router
can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
•
Multi Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more segments are supported,
via the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router's RIP (Routing Information Protocol) support
and built-in static routing table.
Configuration & Management
• Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN for configuration.
Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from
•
the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previouslysaved configuration file to the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router.
• Remote Management. The Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router can be managed from
any PC on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be
configured via the Internet.
• UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and con-
figuration of the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router. UPnP is by supported by Windows
ME, XP, or later.
Security Features
• Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to
prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
2
•
NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech-
nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and
even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network,
only a single device - the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router.
Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom-
•
ing server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from
external sources.
Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your
•
Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Gigabit
Ethernet Broadband Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

your LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter
an unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN.
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router is attached
(the same value as the PCs on that LAN segment).
• If Enabled, the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router will allocate IP
Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start
up. The default (and recommended) value is Enabled.
• If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router as the default Gateway. See the following section for further details.
• The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values
used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP
clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients
supported.

Broadband Router User Guide
DHCP
What DHCP Does
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a
DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request.
• The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).
• The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as
allocating an IP Address.
• The Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router can act as a DHCP server.
• Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP client.
This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However, Windows
uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatically instead of "DHCP Client".
• You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your
LAN does not have other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on
your LAN.)
Using the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router's DHCP Server
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen,
you can:
• Enable or Disable the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router's DHCP Server function.
• Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices
while using DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses
are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server.
Using another DHCP Server
You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP
Server, rather than the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router's, the following procedure is required.
1. Disable the DHCP Server feature in the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router. This setting
is on the LAN screen.
2. Configure the DHCP Server to provide the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router's IP
Address as the Default Gateway.
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP under Windows 95/98/ME.
See Chapter 4 - Client Configuration for the procedure to check these settings.

This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the lo cal ("Internal")
LAN.
Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
• TCP/IP network settings
• Internet Access configuration
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Gigabit
Ethernet Broadband Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so
it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router settings, and the
default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
• By default, the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC
boots.
• For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP
client.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are required:
• The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Gigabit Ethernet Broadband Router
• The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must reconfigure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 - Ad-
vanced Setup for details.
