The high performance Hawking H2BR4 Dual WAN Firewall Router with built-in 4-port 10/100M Ethernet Switch
provides an easy-to-use, cost-effective means of sharing two broadband Internet connections with your LAN (Local Area
Network). With the H2BR4’s two WAN ports, users experience significantly faster data rates as a result of increased and
more efficient use of bandwidth. The dual WAN ports also provide: an easy way to utilize two different types of
broadband Internet connections on the same network (i.e., DSL, Cable, T1, etc.), a method for selectively managing traffic
between Internet connections (i.e., by port or IP address), and a back-up method that activates the second WAN if the first
WAN should get disconnected.

The H2BR4 features high-level security and is equipped with true, hardware-based firewall protection. The firewall
utilizes Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) technology, Network Address Translation, and prevents against Denial of Service
(DoS) attacks from outside intruders. In addition, the VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through feature allows for fast,
reliable, and secure access to your corporate network via a public Internet network.

The H2BR4 includes a full set of powerful features. It utilizes Network Address Translation (NAT) to expand your
existing network without affecting existing IP based account schemes. The router supports DSL, Cable, and other
broadband modem connections that connect to an RJ-45 Ethernet port. The H2BR4 also features Virtual Server and DMZ
functions, which allow the user to protect clients on the network behind the router while permitting specified traffic to be
opened up outside the network. The router has a built-in DHCP server, which eliminates the need to configure each IP
address manually. The user-friendly web management interface provides the user with an easy way to configure the
router from anywhere in the world using a web browser. The H2BR4 can easily be firmware upgraded and is compatible
with all standard Internet applications. It provides a complete solution for small/medium business and small office/home
office users.

• Allows you to monitor the router’s status via: DHCP Client Log, Security Log and Device/Connection Status

• Easy-to-use Web-based user interface for configuration and management purposes

• Remote management allows configuration and upgrades from a remote site (over the Internet)

6

Minimum Requirements

• One External xDSL (ADSL) or Cable modem with an Ethernet port (RJ-45)

• Network Interface Card (NIC) for each Personal Computer (PC)

• PCs with a Web-Browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher, or Netscape Navigator 4.7 or higher)

Note

The WAN “idle timeout” auto-disconnect function may not work due to abnormal activities of some network application
software, computer viruses or hacker attacks from the Internet. For example, some types of software send network packets
to the Internet in the background, even when you are not using the Internet. This function also may not work with some
ISPs. Please make sure this function works properly when you use this function for the first time, especially if your ISP
charges you according to time used. Due to such issues, we cannot guarantee that the WAN “idle timeout” auto­disconnect function will work in all situations. In order to prevent an extra fee from being charged by the ISP, if your ISP
uses such a fee structure, please turn off the router when you are finished using the Internet.

1) Local Area Network (LAN)
The router’s four LAN ports are what you will use to connect your PCs, print servers, switches, etc.

2) Wide Area Network (WAN)

The WAN ports are the segments that connect to your xDSL or Cable modems and are linked to the Internet.

3) Reset
The Reset button allows you to do one of two things:

i. If problems occur with your router, press the router’s reset button with a narrow pen tip (for less than four

seconds) and the router will re-boot itself, keeping your original configurations.

ii. If problems persist or become serious, or if you forget your password, press the reset button for longer

than four seconds and the router will reset itself to the factory default settings. Warning: Your original
configurations will be replaced with the factory default settings.

Setup Diagram

Figure 1.2 below shows a typical setup for a Local Area Network (LAN).

Figure 0.2

Getting started

The following are step-by-step instructions on how to start using the router and get connected to the Internet.

1) Set up your network as shown in the setup diagram above (Figure 1.2).

2) You then need to set your LAN PC clients so that they can obtain an IP address automatically. All LAN clients

require an IP address. Just like a street address, it allows LAN clients to find one another. (If you have already

configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically then proceed to step 3, page 11.)

Configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically

By default, the router’s DHCP is on (enabled). This means that you can obtain an IP address automatically once

you’ve configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically. This section will show you how to configure

your PC so that it can obtain an IP address automatically for either Windows 95/98/Me, 2000 or NT operating
