QUICK INSTALLATION

This section takes you through a step-by-step minimum installation
and setup procedure for the internet server. Please refer to the main
text of this manual for detailed information about the setup and op­eration of this device.

Getting Started

Step 1: Unpack the device. Make certain no components have

been lost or damaged. A packing list is provided on page 5.

Step 2: Choose an installation site on a flat, level surface or wall.

Make sure it is placed near the telephone wall jack you plan
to use for internet connections and/or near the network line
you plan to use for a LAN connection. Note that the internet
server can be hung on a wall using the wall mounting
equipment included with the product.

Making Connections

Step 3: Connect the Internet server to your LAN using a Category

3, 4 or 5, twisted-pair cable and the device’s RJ-45 LAN
port. This connection should be made to an Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet switch or hub.

Step 4: Connect the Internet server to the telephone wall jack by

plugging a normal telephone cable into the RJ-11 jack on the
rear of the internet server.

Step 5: Plug the power adapter into the device and into an outlet.

Quick Installation xv

Internet Server User’s Guide

Configuration

Step 6: Before you can use your Internet server, IP addresses on

your LAN’s PCs must be set so that they are compatible
with the Internet server’s settings. The Internet server
comes with the default local IP address: 192.168.100.1 and
the default subnet mask setting: 255.255.255.0. Assuming
that you leave these settings unchanged and assign fixed IP
addresses to machines on your LAN that will access the
Internet through the Internet server, you must give those
machines IP addresses in the range of 192.168.100.xxx,
where xxx is a number from 2 to 255. (If you want to use a
different IP address range, see “Setting IP Addresses” on
page 16.) You can, alternatively, set the machines on your
LAN to obtain their IP addresses automatically using DHCP
to get IP addresses from the Internet server. Whether the
machines use fixed IP addresses or DHCP, they must all use
the same subnet mask setting as the Internet server, and
the Internet server’s local (LAN) IP address must be set as
each machine’s default gateway.

Step 7: The internet server can be configured and operated via

Telnet or a web browser once PC IP addresses have been
properly set. (Note that some device settings can be manipu­lated using the IS Admin program included with the device.)
Start your Telnet or browser software and enter the IP ad­dress of the internet server (either the default IP listed above
or the new address you assigned using IS Admin). This
should bring up the internet server start menu. See the next
series of steps for information about settings that must be set
for the device to work properly.

Quick Installationxvi

Internet Server User’s Guide

Mandatory Settings for Internet Access

Step 8: ISP Account -> Phone Number, when you signed-up for

an account with your ISP (internet service provider), you
should have been given an access phone number that your
Internet server’s built-in modem will dial. Look under the
“WAN Port Settings” menu for this item and enter the
phone number provided by your ISP.

Step 9: ISP Account -> User ID, your ISP should also have as-

signed a User ID (aka, a username) that you will use for
logging-in. Also under “WAN Port Settings,” enter this user
ID exactly as it was provided to you.

Step 10: ISP Account -> Password, finally, to complete the ISP

login process, the internet server must provide the password
associated with the user ID assigned by your ISP. Enter it.

You have now completed the basic steps necessary to install, config­ure, and begin using the internet server. Note that, with respect to
steps 8–10, it may be necessary for you to use a “Login Script” in­stead. If you enter the information required in those three settings
correctly and still have trouble logging-in, see the “Login Script”
section on page 24 to create a login script.

INTRODUCTION

This chapter introduces the DP-601M internet server, as well as
some of the technology that is utilized.

Product Description

The DP-601M internet server is designed to give multiple, networked
PCs access to the internet through a single account. It controls your
Local Area Network (LAN) by automatically assigning IP addresses
to all computers connected to it and routing traffic to and from local
computers and the internet.

Product Features

The list below highlights the features and specifications of the DP­601M internet server.

♦ Compatible with the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T Ethernet and

802.3u 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet industry standards for
interoperability with other Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network
devices.

Introduction 1

Internet Server User’s Guide

♦ Internet protocol support for: PPP, PAP/CHAP, NAT, TCP/IP,

DHCP, ARP, ICMP, FTP, Telnet, and HTTP.

♦ Support for device configuration via Telnet, web browser, or IS

Admin program (included).

♦ NWay UTP port for LAN connection.
♦ Ethernet connections support Category 3 or better twisted-pair

cables.

♦ Fast Ethernet connections support both shielded twisted-pair

and Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cables.

♦ Built-in 56k modem.
♦ Internet Features include: Dial-On-Demand, NAT internet ac-

cess, DHCP server, and virtual server.

♦ Flash memory for easy firmware upgrades.

Internet Server Technology

The concept behind internet servers is to provide internet access for
multiple users through a single internet account. Without an inter­net server, each end node (i.e., PC or workstation) on a LAN must
have it’s own public domain (global) IP address.

Single Global

PC

(single

2 Introduction

IP Address

176.220.22.1

Internet Server User’s Guide

Using an internet server allows a single global IP address to be
shared by multiple end nodes simultaneously.

In this implementation, it is only necessary to pay for a single
internet account even though many people will be able to use it.

Non-Internet Implementations

An internet server can also be used to expand a LAN by creating a
localized IP “sub-group”. In this LAN-to-LAN configuration, the
internet server links the two IP subgroups (as shown below). This
implementation is useful when the LAN has run out of IP addresses.
The internet server uses a single IP address from the first (global)
LAN to establish a second (local) LAN, in much the same way it al­lows many users to connect to the internet through a single IP
address. PC’s on the second LAN (called a local LAN since the IP

Introduction 3

Internet Server User’s Guide

addresses of computers on this LAN are managed by the internet
server) can still access the internet by setting their Gateway address
to the IP address of the local LAN port of the Internet server. Please
note that the WAN ports on the DP-601M are disabled when it is
operating in LAN-to-LAN mode.

or devices. Consider the following points for site selection:

6 Installation

Internet Server User’s Guide

◊ The internet server should be placed high enough where

LED indicators can be observed and cable and power con­nections can be made.

◊ Moreover, decide whether you would like it to point with

the front panel facing either up or down.

♦ Drill two holes into the wall with the same distance as the

screw support holes located on the bottom of the internet
server. Do not drill these holes too deep.

♦ Insert the nylon anchors into the holes in the wall and imbed

them with gentle taps of a hammer.

♦ Screw in the screws provided with the wall mount kit into the

plastic anchors. Do not insert the screws with excessive
torque. The screw’s head and with a small portion of the
screw’s body should be sticking out.

Port Descriptions

DP-601M Rear Panel

RJ-45 – LAN Port

The Internet server has a single NWay LAN port. This port is 10­Mbps and 100-Mbps capable (auto-detecting, auto-configuring) and
designed for use in an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN via a network
hub. The port has an RJ-45 jack with an MDI-X pinout.

COM (Serial) Port

The COM (serial communications) port can be used to connect the
internet server directly to a computer or data terminal, which allows
the Internet server to be used as an ordinary modem. This port is an
RS-232 port with a standard 25-socket D-shell connector.

Note: The COM port functions only when the Inter-

net server is disconnected from the LAN. Its
sole purpose is to allow the Internet server to
be used as an ordinary 56k modem.

RJ-11 Phone Jack

The Internet server’s phone jack is used to connect the Internet
server’s built-in modem to a telephone line. It is a standard RJ-11
modular phone jack.

8 Installation

Internet Server User’s Guide

LED Descriptions

The internet server has a small LED array for indicating current
port and transmission status. The power/transmit (Pw/Tx) and con­nect/receive (Link/Rx) LEDs only relate to activity on the LAN port.
All other LED indicators display information about their related
ports as labeled.

DP-601M Front Panel

Pw/Tx

The Pw/Tx (power/transmission) LED lights when power is supplied
to the device and flashes when the LAN port transmits data.

Link/Rx

The Link/Rx (link/receive) indicator will light up when a good con­nection is made at the LAN port with an operating and compatible
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet device. This indicator flashes when the
LAN port receives data from the network.
