Introduction

1.1 An Overview of I-STORM ADSL ROUTER

The Atlantis Land I-STORM ADSL ROUTER router provides a high-speed ADSL port and an
Ethernet port for high-speed Internet browsing. It can support downstream transmission rates of
up to 8Mbps and upstream transmission rates of up to 1024Kbps. It also supports rate
management that allows ADSL subscribers to select an Internet access speed suiting their needs
and budgets. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1);
G.lite (G992.2)).

The product supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483
encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), IPoA (RFC1577)
and PPTP-to-PPPoA relaying to establish a connection with ISP. Besides, an embedded PPTP
client is supported to establish a VPN connection with remote PPTP server. The product also
supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

It is the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet
connection. Multi-users can have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.

This product also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being accessed by
outside users. Not only provide the natural firewall function (Network Address Translation,
NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure user’s network. All incoming data packets
are monitored and filtered. Besides, it can also be configured to block internal users from
accessing to the Internet.

The product provides three levels of security support. First, it masks LAN users’ IP addresses
which are invisible to outside users on the Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to
target a machine on your network. Secondly it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the
services that outside users can access. For example, to ensure that games and other Internet
applications will run properly, user can open some specific ports for outside users to access
internal services in network. Finally it can also detect and block many Hacker Patterns and not
allow hacker into your network.

Integrated DHCP services, client and server, allow up to 253 users to get their IP addresses
automatically on boot up from the product. Simply set local machines as a DHCP client to
accept a dynamically assigned IP address from DHCP server and reboot. Each time local
machine is powered up; the router will recognize it and assign an IP address to instantly connect
it to the LAN.

For advanced users, Virtual Service function allows the product to provide limited visibility to
local machines with specific services for outside users. An ISP provided IP address can be set to
the product and then specific services can be rerouted to specific computers on the local
network. For instance, a dedicated web server can be connected to the Internet via the product
and then incoming requests for HTML that are received by the product can be rerouted to the

1

Atlantis Land I-STORM ADSL ROUTER

dedicated local web server, even though the server now has a different IP address. In this
example, the product is on the Internet and vulnerable to attacks, but the server is protected.

Virtual Service can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, the product
can be set to allow separated FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game servers to share the same
Internet-visible IP address while still protecting the servers and LAN users from hackers.

1.3 I-STORM ADSL ROUTER Features

I-STORM ADSL ROUTER provides the following features:

ADSL Multi-Mode Standard: Supports downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and
upstream transmission rates of up to 1024Kbps. It also supports rate management that allows
ADSL subscribers to select an Internet access speed suiting their needs and budgets. It is
compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1); G.lite (G992.2)).

Multi-Protocol to Establish A Connection: Supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM
Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet
(RFC 2516), IPoA (RFC1577) and PPTP-to-PPPoA relaying to establish a connection with ISP.
The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

Network Address Translation (NAT): Allows multi-users to access outside resource such as
Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Besides, many
application layer gateway (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail,
News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting and others.

Firewall: Supports SOHO firewall with NAT technology. Automatically detects and blocks the
Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The hacker’s attack will be recorded associated with timestamp
in security logging area. More firewall features will be added continually, please visit our web
site to download latest firmware.

Domain Name System (DNS) relay: provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly
name for user such as www.yahoo.com) and IP address. When local machine sets its DNS server
with this router’s IP address. Then every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this
router will be forwarded to the real DNS in outside network. After the router gets the reply, then
forwards it back to the PC.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Virtual Private Network (VPN): Allow user to make a tunnel with remote site directly to

secure the data transmission among the connection. User can use embedded PPTP client
supported by this router to make a VPN connection. Or user can run the PPTP client in PC and
the router already provides IPSec and PPTP pass through function to establish a VPN connection
if user likes to run the PPTP client in his local computer.

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE): Provide embedded PPPoE client function to establish a
connection. Users can get greater access speed without changing the operation concept, sharing
the same ISP account and paying for one access account. No PPPoE client software is required
for local computer. The Always ON, Dial On Demand and auto disconnection (Idle Timer)
functions are provided too.

Virtual Server: User can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can
detect incoming service request and forward it to the specific local computer to handle it. For
example, user can assign a PC in LAN acting as WEB server inside and expose it to the outside
network. Outside user can browse inside web server directly while it is protected by NAT. A

DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the outside network, Internet.

Rich Packet Filtering: Not only filter the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port

numbers. It will increase the performance in LAN and WAN, also provide a higher-level
security control.

Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) client and server: In the WAN site, the DHCP client
can get an IP address from the Internet Server Provider (ISP) automatically. In the LAN site, the
DHCP server can allocate up to 253 client IP addresses and distribute them including IP address,
subnet mask as well as DNS IP address to local computers. It provides an easy way to manage
the local IP network.

Static and RIP1/2 Routing: Supports a easy static table or RIP1/2 routing protocol to support
routing capability.

SNTP: An easy way to get the network real time information from SNTP server.

Web based GUI: supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is a user-

friendly with on-line help, providing necessary information and assist user timing. It also
supports remote management capability for remote user to configure and manage this product.

2.4 Cabling

The most common problem associated with Ethernet is bad cabling or ADSL line. Make sure that all
connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. As a first check, to
verify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the
proper cables.

The product’s LAN port is wired just like a Network Adapter’s port. From the product directly to a
PC, the cable should be an Ethernet crossover cable. From the product to a hub or switch, the cable
should be an Ethernet straight through cable to a normal hub/switch port, or an Ethernet crossover
cable to an uplink port.

Since the product cannot auto-detect whether your cable is correct or not, please make
sure you are using the right cable to a PC or a Hub.
