Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of this outstanding Broadband Router EE-400R. This product is the perfect option to connect a group of PCs to a high-speed Broadband Internet connection or to an Ethernet based Backbone (ETTH/ETTB: Ethernet to the Home/Building). Configurable as a DHCP server, this product is the only externally recognized server device on your local area network (LAN). Thus even a non-technical person will easily configure it to meet other popular applications.

This product does not only provide a complete solution to share the Internet bandwidth, it also serves as an Internet Firewall to protect your LAN data from being accessed by outside intruder/hacker. Since all incoming data packets can be analyzed or monitored, all unwanted packets may be filtered-out and be recorded as an intrusion event. EE400-R can also be configured to block some internal LAN user’s access to the Internet for management purpose.

Secure Internet Access via Cable/DSL Modem.

Chapter 1 - Features

z Connects to 10/100M Broadband (cable or DSL) modem or Ethernet backbone for

Internet Surfing.

z Multiple WAN connection type:

Static IP : for lease line or router-router interconnect. DHCP client : for most cable modem service. PPPoE : for Dial-up ADSL service, PPTP client : for some European Dial-up ADSL or L2-VPN application

z Equipped with a 4-port 10/100M switched Hub for LAN users. z DHCP Server/ DNS proxy support (can save an extra PC/Server in LAN).

All the networked computers in LAN can retrieve TCP/IP setting (IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS) automatically from this device.

z Simultaneously act as both DHCP Server on the LAN and a DHCP Client on the

WAN for most easy application.

z Connects multiple LAN PCs to the Internet with only one dynamic-assigned IP

address (NAT mode) or a range of legal IP address (NAT/Routing mode)

z Web-based configuring

it is configurable through any networked computer’s web browsers using Internet Explorer or Netscape browser.

z Allow/Deny remote administration through WAN connection by Web browser. z Firewall capability to protect LAN PCs from outside intruder access/attack.

Avoid unwanted packet from WAN (Wide Area Network) and provide a system event log to record intrusion information. (Date/Time, Source IP address & Port)

z LAN user Access privilege

Administrator can arrange interior LAN user’s access privilege to Internet by IP address, TCP/IP port service, URL name keywords and 24-hour time zone.

z Virtual Server (Port forwarding) function

Internet servers (WWW, FTP, E-mail …) in LAN could be virtually exposed to WAN for outside Internet user access. This is a useful and secure network deployment for Internet servers.

z DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) Host

Administrator can expose a host PC in LAN to the Internet without any firewall protection mechanism. This option allows a full two-way communication between the local host PC and remote Internet node. (ex. bi-directional games, video/audio conferences …)

z Multi DMZ Host support

In static IP configuration with a range of legal IP address, Administrator could totally expose more host PCs in LAN to the Internet according to LAN/WAN IP address mapping.

• The modem should be connected to the router’s WAN port with an Ethernet cable(Cat 5/Cat 5e)

• Power adapter should be connected to the power port on the router

• Computers are to be connected to port 1-4 on the router (Typically with a straight

through cable Cat 5/Cat 5e)

Chapter 2 - Quick install

The following steps are setup processes for most common broadband internet service providers.

This section will be divided into three parts. Part one is for cable internet setup, part two is for

DSL internet setup and part three is for Macintosh Users. *Note* the http://192.168.8.1 is the main console page for the EE-400R. Internet connection

NOT required upon installation of this router. Any computer that is connected to the router’s port 1-4 is capable of changing the settings on the router. It does not have to be a designated port or computer to change the settings of the router.

Before you start

Make sure the internet connection from your ISP is working. Check to see if there is a connection coming through your ISP (modem) to your computer. Also, check and see if the lights are properly on when the router is connected with the computer(s) and the modem.

Part 1 Cable internet setup

Section 1

1. Turn off the cable modem and the router

2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the cable modem to the WAN port of the router

3. Connect your computers to ports 1-4 on the router

4. Power on the router

5. Power on the modem

6. Power on your computer

*Note* Make sure the WAN LED light and ports 1-4 LED lights are ON at the front panel of the router.

Section 2

1. At the desktop (Windows based Operating System). Go to ‘Start’ > ‘Run’ and input this address:

2. Your internet browser should automatically open up the ‘Broadband Router’ page

Example:

http://192.168.8.1 and press ‘enter’

3. The password for the Administration Password is ‘admin’. It is case sensitive so make sure the CAPS key is not on. Once ‘admin’ is entered, click on ‘Login’ to enter the router’s configuration page.

*Note* Make sure the ‘WAN IP address’, ‘WAN Subnet Mask’, ‘WAN Gateway’, and ‘WAN DNS’ are filled with numbers. This indicates that the router is communicating with the modem

(your ISP). If you are able to get those numbers, most likely you’re on the internet. *Note* the next step is for those who can log onto the router page but cannot get an internet

connection through the ISP. (WAN IP addresses all show 0’s)

4. The page should look like this after you have logged onto the next page. The next step is to click on the ‘Administration’ to the left side of the screen.

5. At the bottom of the ‘Administration’ section you should see a button says ‘Clone MAC’. Click on ‘Clone MAC’ (this will let the router copy the MAC address on the

Ethernet adapter.)

6. There should be a confirmation after you click on the ‘Clone MAC’ button. Acknowledge it and restart the computer afterwards. If you still have trouble getting an internet connection or have other questions please follow the instructions in our FAQ section.

Part 2 DSL internet setup

Section 1

1. Make sure that DSL account Login ID and Password is in hand (i.e.:

username@your_internet_company.net)

2. Connect the DSL modem to the WAN Port on the router with an Ethernet cable

3. Connect your computer(s) to port 1-4 on the router with Ethernet cable(s)

4. Turn the computer(s), DSL modem, router ON if they are off at this point

*Note* Make sure the WAN LED light and ports 1-4 LED lights are ON in the front panel of the router.

Section 2

1. At the desktop (Windows based Operating System). Click ‘Start’ > go to ‘Run’ >

and type in this address in the box: internet browser should automatically open up the ‘Broadband Router Status’ page (See Part 1 – Section 2 {2} for image). If the page shows ‘Page cannot be displayed’ or blank then please go to our FAQ section for more helpful information.

2. Enter default password ‘admin’ in the ‘Administration Password’ column (make

sure CAPS key is

3. Once you have successfully logged onto the Broadband Router page, you should

see a list of various links on the left side of your screen. (See Part 1 – Section 2 – {4} for image)

4. At this point the ‘WAN IP’ addresses should show all 0’s. It is usual and common

because the router hasn’t been setup to have a connection between your ISP and the EE-400r. Please click on ‘WAN’ under ‘EZ Setup’ and the page should look like this after:

OFF) and click ‘Login’
