The ESG-103 is a broadband router, which is to provide home users a secure environment in their private side. It also acts as a Network Address Translation (NAT) device and let home users use private IP addresses to access the Internet from single or multiple global IP addresses. ESG-103 provides home users an environment protected by its NAT-type firewall. Because its WAN side is also an Ethernet interface, which is the same as its LAN interface, you can easily plug it into any access device, such as an ADSL/ Cable modem or router, which provides Ethernet interfaces in the LAN side to run for NAT function.

Application Illustration
1.2.1 Being a router between two Ethernet interfaces
The ESG-103 connects one Ethernet interface, which is from ADSL/Cable modem's LAN side as its WAN interface. It provides users in its 10/100 base-TX LAN side which can share a single valid IP address. From this kind of configuration, users do not need to apply for a valid IP address for everyone in its LAN side to access Internet. This function can be enabled or disabled. If users apply for many public IP addresses for some purpose, they are also able to use those IP addresses to connect to the Internet.
Chapter 1 Introduction - 1
1.2.2 Three ways to acquire WAN's IP address
There are three ways to acquire ESG-103's WAN IP address. The first one is to assign its WAN interface a static valid IP address. Second, users can also acquire ESG-103's WAN IP address by PPPoE and this functionality can help users need not to install PPPoE client software in their own hosts. The last one is to obtain WAN's IP address from DHCP server. Some service providers offer their clients IP addresses by DHCP protocol, and ESG-103 can act as a DHCP client in its 10/100 base-TX WAN side to acquire its WAN IP address. In fact, ESG-103 is an outstanding device, which provides a 10/100 base-TX WAN port.
1.2.3 Act as a DHCP server in its LAN side
ESG-103 can act as a DHCP server in its LAN side, and this functionality can help users need not to configure their own IP addresses. When users are booting their machines, ESG-103 will assign each machine an IP address and other useful information, such as DNS server's IP address etc.
1.2.4 Virtual Server
Users can set up different kinds of servers behind their ESG-103 and remote users in the Internet can access these inside servers by ESG-103's virtual server function.
1.2.5 Firewall via NAT (Network Address Translation)
ESG-103 also plays a role of NAT-type firewall. A NAT-type firewall provides users a secure LAN environment and prevents from being accessed by any anonymous people who desire to do something bad on your network.
1.2.6 Web Management
Users can configure and manage ESG-103 by their own web browsers (IE or Netscape). This means that users wherever they are can manage ESG-103 without any proprietary application installed in their PC.

1.2.7 Firmware Upgrade
ESG-103 provides an efficient way to upgrade the firmware. Users can use web browser to upgrade firmware and also can use TFTP client to do this job.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation - 4
2.3Connect ESG-103 to your ADSL / Cable Modem
(1)Turn off the power of your ADSL / Cable Modem
(2)Pick up one RJ-45 Category-5 cable and plug one end of this cable into your ADSL / Cable's LAN port
(3)Plug the other end of this cable into ESG-103's WAN port
2.4Connecting PC to your ESG-103
(1)Pick up the other RJ-45 Category-5 cable and plug one end of this cable into any one of the switch ports
(2)Plug the other end of this cable into the RJ-45 port of your PC's network card
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation - 5
(1)Connect your power adapter to DC inlet to power on your ESG-103
(2)Turn on ADSL / Cable modem's power
