3-1 Preparation

Generally speaking, using the GN-BR402W for Internet connection needs the ADSL or Cable

service. We assume that you have already obtained the ADSL/Cable service from the local

telephone company or the ISP Company, and get the related connection data ready.
Such data include：

a. IP address provided by ISP

b. Subnet mask

c. Default gateway IP address

3-3 Setup for Broadband Router

Step 1. Key in the preset IP address“192.168.1.254” in the address column in the browser, and

then press enter.

Step 2. The dialogue box will appear as shown in the following diagram, and key in the default

user name “admin” for the wideband network GN-BR402W and the default password

“admin”, and then press “OK”:

25

Step 3. The homepage of the GN-BR402W will appear as shown below, and click the “Setup

Wizard” on the screen, and such “Setup Wizard” will guide you to complete the

necessary steps for the setup on screen as follows.

26

Step 4. “LAN Setup” is shown in the diagram. Each setup item of the local area network is

default setting, and is not necessary to make change to it for normal operation. Please

input the settings on your own if change is needed.

DHCP Setup:

- ”enable” indicates that the DHCP function of the GN-BR402W is initialized,

and you configure the computers on your network to “Obtain an IP address

automatically”, then when you turn your computer “On”, it will

automatically load the proper TCP/IP setting from GN-BR402W. (Configure

the DHCP starting address and the DHCP allocation number on your own.)

- “disable” indicates that it will not automatically load proper TCP/IP setting

from the GN-BR402W. You will have to configure all the TCP/IP setting for

your network manually. (It is not necessary to configure the DHCP starting

address and the DHCP allocation number.)

DHCP Starting Address:

When the DHCP setting is “enable”, the GN-BR402W uses this address as the

initial value to assign the IP to the PC connected to the LAN end.

For example:

The DHCP starting address is 192.168.1.1

DHCP allocation number is 50.

The IP allocable range of the DHCP is from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.50.

The LAN IP address “192.168.1.254” is the default IP address of the GN-BR402W.

Click “Next”, and the following screen will appear:

27

Step 5. “WLAN Setup” is shown in the diagram. Each setup item of the Wireless local area

network is default setting, and is not necessary to make change to it for normal

operation. Please input the settings on your own if change is needed.

DHCP Setup:

- ”enable” indicates that the DHCP function of the GN-BR402W is initialized,

and you configure the computers on your network to “Obtain an IP address

automatically”, then when you turn your computer “On”, it will

automatically load the proper TCP/IP setting from GN-BR402W. (Configure

the DHCP starting address and the DHCP allocation number on your own.)

- “disable” indicates that it will not automatically load proper TCP/IP setting

from the GN-BR402W. You will have to configure all the TCP/IP setting for

your network manually. (It is not necessary to configure the DHCP starting

address and the DHCP allocation number.)

DHCP Starting Address:

When the DHCP setting is “enable”, the GN-BR402W uses this address as the

initial value to assign the IP to the PC connected to the LAN end.

For example:

The DHCP starting address is 192.168.10.1

DHCP allocation number is 50.

The IP allocable range of the DHCP is from 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.50.

The WLAN IP address “192.168.10.254” is the default IP address of the GN-BR402W.

8. Instruction of Using Special Application

When special application program users at the LAN end want to use a certain network application

program, such application program needs more set up than the regular connection, and most of these

application programs are games or audio/video multimedia. Take AOK (Age of Kings) for

example:

- Application: AOK

- Trigger Port: 47624

- Other Ports: 2300 2400,28800 29000

- Enable: enable

1. Application: Key in the desired software name, such as AOK (Age of Kings); it only needs an

input for this field, and its value will not affect the operation of the GN-BR402W.

2. Trigger Port: A port number.

3. Other Ports: The port interval of each section that needs to open is separated by a “space” (e.g.

2300 2400), and each interval is separated by a “comma” (2300 2400, 28800 29000).

4. Enable: Select “enable” to open such setting.

Several common application program set-ups are provided at the bottom of the screen. The user can

complete the settings by clicking the mouse.

47

8-1 Instruction of Using DMZ

If we do not know how to set up the triggered port or port number of special application, then the

IP Address (such as 192.168.1.1) of PC at the LAN terminal can be used to input to the field of

DMZ. Taking NetMeeting for example, if you just want to call an external computer from the

computer at the LAN terminal, it does not need any set up. However, if you want to let the external

PC to call the computer at the LAN terminal, then the virtual IP Address must be filled in the field of

DMZ.

48

8-2 Instruction of Using Netmeeting

1. If we need to actively call the PC of the external network from the PC at the LAN terminal, it

does not need special set up.

2. To let a PC at the WAN end call a PC at the LAN end, set the virtual IP Address (such as

192.168.1.1) of the PC at the LAN end to the DMZ field in the Special Application as shown in

the following figure. The PC at the WAN end can call the external IP Address (provide by the

ISP) of the GN-BR402W, and the internally connects to such PC.

9. Instruction of Using the Virtual Server

Virtual server provides a way to let the PC at the WAN end connect to a server of a PC at the LAN

end.

Taking the IP Address 192.168.1.1 of a PC on a FTP (port:21) at the LAN end for example:

Port: 21

Virtual Server IP: 192.168.1.1

Enable: enable

The PC at the WAN end can connect to the internal FTP server at the IP address 192.168.1.1 via the

WAN end of the IP Address of the FTP GN-BR402W.

At the bottom of the screen, we provide several common server port numbers for the setting, and the

user can click one of them, and then fill in the virtual IP address set for the server to complete the set

up.

10. VLAN

VLAN is using for LAN ports that can be divided into maximum four different virtual LANs.

Although each different virtual LAN user’s IP is in the same subnet, however the communication

between each other will be restricted. This function is for dividing the users in the same subnet,

usually provided for high-end switch.

11. Static Routing Table

Under some of Internet environments, some of the subnet do not go through the default gateway.

Users can add those routing information to Static Routing Table themselves.

You can enter new routing information and click “Add new to Static routing” then there will add the

new routing information to Static Routing Table. Otherwise, you can mark the checkbox of the

routing table that you want to delete and click “Delete selection(s) from static routing” then there

will delete the marked routing information from Static routing table. Press “Finish”.
