1 Introduction
The Router is a highly ADSL2+ integrated access device and can support ADSL
link downstream up to 24 Mbps and upstream up to 1 Mbps, which is designed to
provide a simple and cost-effective ADSL Internet connection for a private
Ethernet. The Router combines high-speed ADSL Internet connection. It is
usually preferred to provide high access performance applications for the
individual users, the SOHO, the small enterprise and so on.
The router is easy to install and use. The Router can be connected to an Ethernet
LAN or a computer via standard Ethernet ports. The ADSL connection is made by
using ordinary telephone line with standard connectors. Multiple workstations can
be connected to the Internet by using a single wide area network (WAN) interface
and a single global IP address. The advanced security enhancements, packet
filtering and port redirection is able to protect your network from potentially
devastating intrusions by malicious agents.
You can access the web-based management interface to realize network and
router management by using any web browser. You may also enable remote
management to enable configuration of the Router via the WAN interface.

Note:
The operating system of the PC must be Windows ME or Windows XP. Check
whether the UPnP function is installed in the PC. You may need to
retrospectively install the UPnP components, even on systems with Windows
XP or Windows ME. Please refer to the User Guide of your PC.
Page 40
38
After you install UPnP in the operating system of a PC and activate it in the router,
applications on this PC (for example, Microsoft Messenger) can communicate via
the Internet without authorization. In this case, the router automatically
implements port forwarding, thereby facilitating communication via the Internet.
The task bar in the PC in which UPnP is installed contains an icon for the DSL
Router. In a Windows XP system, the icon is also shown under network
connections. Click this icon and the user interface of the DSL Router appears.
Note:
When the UPnP function is active, system applications can assign and use
Ports on a PC. This poses a security risk.
3.4.2.3 Enabling IGMP Snooping
Internet Group Management Protocol
IGMP is an Internet protocol that enables an Internet computer to inform
neighboring routers that it is a member of a multicast group. With multicasting, a
computer can send content on the Internet to several other computers that have
registered an interest in the content of the first computer. Multicasting can, for
example, be used for multimedia programs for media streaming to recipients that
have set up multicast group membership.
Note:
If IGMP snooping function is enabled, the DSL Router capability improves.

3.4.2.4 Configuring the DHCP Server
The DSL Router has a DHCP server for which the factory setting is active.
Consequently, the IP addresses of the PCs are automatically assigned by the
DSL Router.
Note:
If the DHCP server for the DSL Router is activated, you can configure the
network setting on the PC so that the option Obtain an IP address
automatically is set up.
If you deactivate the DHCP server, you need to assign a static IP address
for the PCs that use the network settings.
If the DHCP server is active, you can define a lease time. The lease time
determines the period for which the PCs retain the IP addresses assigned
to them without changing them.
Define the range of IP addresses that the Router should use to
automatically assign IP addresses to the PCs. Define the first issued IP
address and the last issued IP address.
Enable DHCP Server Relay: This function allows you to relay DHCP and
BOOTP requests from a subnet with no DHCP server on it to one or more
DHCP servers on other subnets.

3.4.3 NAT
Note:
The NAT information is not displayed in the bridge mode.
Click Advanced Setup > NAT, and the following page appears. This part
contains Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, and DMZ Host. Choose the item to do
relative configurations.
3.4.4 Security
Security is an important function of DSL. It protects resources of a private
network from users from other networks, and prevents unauthorized Internet
users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet. All messages
entering or leaving the intranet (that is, the local network to which you are
connected) must pass through the security checks, which checks each message
and blocks those that do not meet the specific security criteria.
There are two basic types of security techniques:
IP packet filtering: The system checks each packet entering or leaving
the network and accepts or rejects it based on user-defined rules. Packet
filtering is fairly effective and transparent to users, but is difficult to
configure.
Parental Control: The system checks each frame entering or leaving the
network from layer 2. It accepts and rejects frames according to
user-defined rules.
Choose Security > IP Filtering and the following page appears. By default, the
firewall is enabled. The firewall is used to block document transmissions between
the Internet and your PC. It serves as a safety guard and permits only authorized
documents to be sent to the LAN.
Page 44
42
Note:
If the router is configured to bridge mode only, IP filtering is disabled and the
IP filtering interface does not appear.
If no PVC of Bridge mode is configured, MAC filtering is disabled and the
MAC Filtering interface does not appear.
3.4.4.1 Outgoing IP Filtering Setup
When setup of outgoing IP filtering rules is enabled on the router, various security
functions for the local network are enabled at the same time. You can protect the
network against hacker attacks and block access of individual PC to selected
services or Internet websites.
Choose Security > IP Filtering > Outgoing and the following page appears.
By default, all outgoing IP traffic from LAN is allowed, but some IP traffic can be
blocked by setting up filters.
Page 45
43
Click Add and the page for defining the IP filtering rule appears.
In this page, you can create a filter rule to identify outgoing IP traffic by specifying
a new filter name and at least one condition. All specified conditions in the
filtering rule must be complied with the rule to take effect.
Click Save/Apply to save and activate the filter.
Filter Name: Enter the name of outgoing filter rule.
Protocol: Select one from TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP, and ICMP protocols.
Source IP address: Enter an IP address. After you set the IP address,
outgoing packets (protocol selected packets) are blocked.
Source port: UPD/TCP source port or a range of ports.
Destination IP address: IP address of the destination (default: null).
Destination port: UPD/TCP destination port or a range of ports.
DSCP Mark: Marking DSCP that outgoing packets.
The following is an example of configuring the outgoing IP filtering.
The topology is as follows:

Step 2 Click Save/Apply and the following page appears:
3.4.4.2 Incoming IP Filtering Setup
The incoming IP filter is used to block and permit IP packet transmisstion from
internet. By default incoming IP filter block all incoming packet from Internet.
When incoming IP filtering rules setup being enable on the router, you can permit
remote individual PC to access various local network service.
Choose Security > IP Filtering > Incoming and the following page appears.
By default, all incoming IP traffic from the WAN is blocked when the firewall is
enabled. However, some IP traffic can be accepted by setting up filters.
Click Add and the page for defining the IP filtering rule appears.
In this page, you can create a filter rule to identify incoming IP traffic by specifying
a new filter name and at least one condition. All specified conditions in the filter
rule must be complied with the rule to take effect. Click Save/Apply to save and
activate the filter.
You must select at least one WAN interface to apply this rule.
Page 48
46
Filter Name: Enter the name of incoming filter rule.
Protocol: Select one from TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP, and ICMP protocols.
Source IP address: Enter an IP address. After you set the IP address, the
incoming packets (protocol selected packets) are allowed.
Source port: UPD/TCP source port or a range of ports.
Destination IP address: destination IP (default: null).
Destination port: UPD/TCP destination port or a range of ports.
DSCP Mark: Marking DSCP that outgoing packets.
WAN interfaces: You can select WAN interfaces and PVC.
The following is an example of configuring the incoming IP filtering:
Page 49

TCP/UDP packet traffic from that PC (10.10.10.10) is allowed.
Block all IP traffic from other PCS.
Configuration
Step 1 By default, all incoming IP traffic from Internet is blocked. Hence, all
incoming IP packets from other PCS except PC (10.10.10.10) are
blocked.
Step 2 The detailed configuration steps are as follows:

In this page, you can add time of day restriction to a specific LAN device
connected to the Router. Enter the user name, select days of week and the
blocking time, and click Save/Apply. The following page appears:
3.4.5 Quality of Service
Many communication and multimedia applications require large, high speed
bandwidths to transfer data between the local network and the Internet. However,
for many applications there is often only one Internet connection available with
limited capacity. QoS divides this capacity between the different applications and
provides undelayed and continuous data transfer where data packets with higher
priority are given preference.
Click Quality of Service and the following page appears. Under Quality of
Service, there are two network share modes: Queue Config and QoS
Classification.
3.4.5.1 Enabling QoS
In this page, you can configure QoS queue management. By default, the system
enables QoS and sets a default DSCP mark to automatically mark incoming
traffic without reference to particular classifier.
Choose Advance Setup > Quality of Service and the following page appears:
Page 52
50
Select Enable QoS to enable QoS and set the default DSCP mark.
Click Save/Apply to active QoS.
3.4.5.2 QoS - Queue Configuration
The queuing in packet QoS becomes effective only when packet is forwarded to
QoS-enabled PVC. Packet forwarding is determined by IP routing or bridging, not
under control of the packet QoS.
Click Queue Config and the following page appears. In this page, you can
configure QoS Queue. A maximum of 24 entries can be configured.
QoS Queue Configuration can allocate three queues. Each of the queues can be
configured for a precedence value. The queue entry configured is used by the
classifier to place ingress packets appropriately.
Note:
Lower integer values for precedence indicate higher priority for this queue
relative to others.
Click Add and the following page appears.
Page 53
51
Queue Configuration Status: Set to enable or disable a QoS queue.
Queue: Select a specific network interface. The router automatically allocates
selected network interface to the queue.
Queue Precedence: Select an integer value for queue precedence. After you
select an integer value, the queue entry appropriately places to ingress packets.
Lower integer values for precedence imply higher priority for this queue relative
to others.
3.4.5.3 QoS - QoS Classification
Some applications require specific bandwidth to ensure their data be forwarded
in time. QoS classification can creates traffic class rule to classify the upstream
traffic. Assign queue which defines the precedence and the interface and
optionally overwrite the IP header DSCP byte. After QoS classification, QoS
divides capacity between different applications and provides undelayed and
continuous data transfer where data packet with higher priority is given
preference.
Click QoS Classification and the following page appears. In this page, you can
configure network traffic classes.
Page 54
52
Click Add, and the following page appears.
Traffic Class Name: Enter a name of the class.
Rule Order: Select order for queue.
Rule Status: Enable or disable this traffic class rule.
Assign Classification Queue: Select a classification queue.
Assign Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) Mark: Select a mark
service that modifies the original packet IP header if all rules defined within
the classification class are matched. (CS - Mark IP Precedence, AF -
Assured Forwarding, EF - Expedited Forwarding)
Mark 802.1p if 802.1q is enabled: Select an 802.1p priority number that
serves as the 802.1p value.
Page 55
53
There are two sets of classification rules. Set-1 is based on different fields within
TCP/UDP/IP layer plus physical LAN port; Set-2 is based on MAC layer IEEE
802.1p priority field.
802.1p priority: The 802.1p header includes a 3-bit prioritization field, which
allows packets to be grouped into eight levels of priority (0-7), where level 7 is the
highest one.
3.4.6 Routing
3.4.6.1 Routing – Default Gateway
In this page, you can modify the Default Gateway settings.
If the Enable Automatic Assigned Default Gateway checkbox is selected, this
router accepts the first received default gateway assignment from one of the
PPPoA, PPPoE or MER/DHCP enabled PVC(s). If the checkbox is not selected,
enter the static default gateway and/or a WAN interface. Click Save/Apply to
save it.
Note:
After changing the Automatic Assigned Default Gateway from unselected
to selected, you must reboot the router to obtain the automatic assigned
default gateway.
If you want to use a default gateway, select the Enable Automatic Assigned
Default Gateway check box to show the following page:

Click Save/Apply to apply the settings.
3.4.6.2 Static Routes
Networking devices forward packets using route information that is either
manually configured or dynamically learned using a routing protocol. Static routes
are manually configured and define an explicit path between two networking
devices. Unlike a dynamic routing protocol, static routes are not automatically
updated and must be manually reconfigured if the network topology changes.
The benefits of using static routes include security and resource efficiency. Static
routes use less bandwidth than dynamic routing protocols and no CPU cycles are
used to calculate and communicate routes. The main disadvantage to using
static routes is the lack of automatic reconfiguration if the network topology
changes.
Static routes can be redistributed into dynamic routing protocols but routes
generated by dynamic routing protocols cannot be redistributed into the static
routing table. No algorithm exists to prevent the configuration of routing loops that
use static routes.
Static routes are useful for smaller networks with only one path to an outside
network and to provide security for a larger network for certain types of traffic or
links to other networks that need more control. In general, most networks use
dynamic routing protocols to communicate between networking devices but may
have one or two static routes configured for special cases.
