Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the DI-704UP Express EtherNetwork Broadband Router
with USB Print Server. The DI-704UP is an Ethernet Broadband Router with a
built-in 4-port switch. It also features a USB port to share a USB printer on the
home or office network and includes a print server application for Windows. As
many as four computers can be connected directly to the router’s integrated
switch, using its four 10/100Mbps AutoMDIX Ethernet ports. More computers
can be added to the network by connecting additional switches to the DI-704UP.
The DI-704UP package even includes an Ethernet cable to get you started.
The DI-704UP is ideal if you are creating your first home or small business
network, or if you are a more advanced user looking for additional management
settings.
The DI-704UP includes a new, easy-to-use D-Link web-based graphical user
interface (GUI) to configure the router. To prevent unwanted Internet intruders
from accessing your private network, the DI-704UP also serves as a featurerich firewall.
So, whether you are a college student who wants to network with friends and
roommates, an executive working at home or in a small office, or a concerned
parent who just wants to have more control over how your children access the
Internet, then the D-Link DI-704UP Express EtherNetwork Broadband Router
with USB Print Server is the networking solution for you.

Introduction to Broadband Router Technology
A router is a device that forwards data packets from a source to a destination.
Routers can work on Open System Interconnection (OSI) layer 3, which forwards data packets using an IP address and not a MAC address. A router will
forward data from the Internet to a particular computer on your LAN.
The information that makes up the Internet gets moved around using routers.
When you click on a link on a web page, you send a request to a server to show
you the next page. The request sent and the information received by your computer is moved from your computer to the server using routers. A router also
determines the best route that your information should follow to ensure that the
information is delivered properly.
A router controls the amount of data that is sent through your network by eliminating information that should not be there. This provides security for the computers behind your router because computers from the outside cannot access
or send information directly to any computer on your network. The router determines which computer the information should be forwarded to and sends it. If
the information is not intended for any computer on your network, the data is
discarded. This keeps any unwanted or harmful information from accessing or
damaging your network.
Introduction to Firewalls
A firewall is a device that sits between your computer and the Internet that prevents unauthorized access to or from your network. A firewall can be a computer using firewall software or a special piece of hardware built specifically to
act as a firewall. In most circumstances, a firewall is used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks such as corporate LANs
and Intranets.
A firewall watches all of the information moving to and from your network and
analyzes each piece of data. Each piece of data is checked against a set of
criteria that the administrator configures. If any data does not meet the criteria,
that data is blocked and discarded. If the data meets the criteria, the data is
passed through.. This method is called packet filtering.
A firewall can also run specific security functions based on the type of application or type of port that is being used. For example, a firewall can be configured
to work with an FTP or Telnet server. Or a firewall can be configured to work
with specific UDP or TCP ports to allow certain applications or games to work
properly over the Internet.

Introduction to Local Area Networking
A Local Area Network (LAN) is typically an Ethernet-based network that connects several computers together over a small area such as a building or group
of buildings. LAN’s can also be connected over large areas. A collection of LANs
connected over a large area is called a Wide Area Network (WAN).
There are many types of media that can connect computers together. The most
common media is CAT5 cable; UTP or STP twisted pair wire. Each computer
must have a Network Interface Card (NIC), which transfers the data between
computers. A NIC is usually a 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet adapter.
Most networks use hardware devices such as hubs or switches to transfer
data between computers. A hub receives data arriving through each port and
forwards the data to all other ports. A switch is more sophisticated, in that a
switch can determine the port (or corresponding computer) that each packet of
data is supposed to be delivered to. A switch minimizes network traffic and
speeds up communication over a network.
There are many types of scenarios to consider which could affect the operability of a network. Some of these issues are discussed in the manual under the
Networking Basics section.

A typical network setup in a home or small office (as shown above) might contain the
following devices. For specific information on setting up your network with the DI-704UP
please see the Network Setup section on the following page.
You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL subscription line into
your home or office)
Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem
Connect the Cable or DSL modem to the DI-704UP wireless broadband router
(see the Quick Installation Guide included with the DI-704UP.)
If you are connecting a desktop computer that does not already have an available Ethernet port to your network, you can install the D-Link DFE-530TX+
Ethernet adapter into an available PCI slot. (See the Quick Installation Guide
included with the DWL-530TX+.)
If you are connecting a laptop computer without an available Ethernet port to
your network, install an Ethernet Cardbus adapter (e.g., D-Link DFE-690TXD)
and its drivers into the laptop computer.(See the Quick Installation Guide
included with the DFE-690TXD.)
6
Connect your USB printer to the USB printer port on the DI-704UP. Please
refer to the Quick Installation Guide for loading the Windows print server
software if on a Windows-based computer.
** Easily upgrade to a wireless network by adding a wireless Access Point (D-Link DWL-900AP+) **

Home > DHCP
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DI-704UP has a built-in DHCP
server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address to the computers on
the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting
their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your
computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the
DI-704UP. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the
IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending
address of the IP address pool.
28
Using the Configuration Menu (continued)
Home > DHCP
Static DHCP allows computers on the LAN to receive the same DHCP IP address
everytime it boots up. You can bind a specific IP address to a specific computer based
on the computer’s MAC address.
Starting IP address:
The starting IP address for the DHCP server’s IP assignment.
Ending IP address:
The ending IP address for the DHCP server’s IP assignment.
Lease Time:
The length of time for the IP lease.
29
Using the Configuration Menu (continued)
Advanced > Virtual Server
The DI-704UP can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web
or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers
in the LAN (Local Area Network). The DI-704UP firewall feature filters out unrecognized
packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DI-704UP are
invisible to the outside world. If public access is desired, you can make some of the LAN
computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the
requested service, the DI-704UP redirects the external service request to the appropriate
server within the LAN network.
