The H-BR49 Broadband Router is an integrated Internet IP sharing device with a
built-in 4-port 10/100Mbps N-Way Fast Ethernet switch. It has superb throughput of
up to 35Mbps between Internet and LAN, making it the perfect solution to connect a
small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection. Multiple users can
have high-speed Internet access simultaneously via one single IP address (Internet
account) of the Cable/xDSL modem.
This product also serves as an Internet firewall, and thus protects your network from
being accessed by outside users. All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered.
The Router can also be configured to filter internal user access to the Internet.
The built-in 4-port Fast Ethernet Switch lets users plug the network cable into the
device without buying an additional Hub/Switch.
In addition, the unit is equipped with an Incoming Mail Indicator, which will become
lit when there is e-mail waiting to be retrieved at the mail server.

Information from ISP
Before you start configuring this device, you should review the information
given in the following tables and use it as a reference.
For CATV dynamic mode
Adapter Address
Device/Computer
Name (or Host
Name by some
ISP.)
Domain Name
:
Some Internet Service Providers (ISP) require that you
register the MAC address of your network card/adapter,
which was connected to your cable or DSL modem during
installation. If your ISPs require MAC address
registration, find your adapter’s MAC address by doing
the following:
Using Windows 95 or 98: Click StartRun; type in
“winipcfg”; select the network adapter (not PPP adapter).
Using Windows ME, 2000 or XP: Click StartRun; type
in “command”; press Enter. At the DOS prompt, type
“ipconfig/all”. Look for the Adapter’s “Physical
Address”: a 12-digit HEX number (00-11-22-aa-bb-cc).
Enter a descriptive name for identification purposes. You
may have to check with your ISP to see if your Broadband
Internet service has been configured with a host and
domain name. In most cases, these fields may be left
blank. Some Internet Service Providers (ISP) require this
information and if that is the case, they will provide you
with the name.

Before you start setting up IP Sharing via browser-based web configuration,
make sure that:
• Assuming the workstation’s TCP/IP is set to obtain IP automatically and
the IP Sharing Device’s Local Port is set to “Distribute IP” (default),
and all the cables are connected correctly, you are now ready to
configure this device via Web Browser. Open the browser, enter the
local port IP address (default at 192.168.1.254) of the IP Sharing Device,
and click “Go” to get the login page.

No user name is required. The default password is left blank. If you have set a
password, enter that and click OK to continue.

At the setup home page, the left navigation pane for bookmarks links you
directly to the desired setup page. You can select Global Port, Local Port,
Management, Virtual Server, Packet Filter, Static Router, Checking E-Mail,
Dynamic DNS, Network Status (WAN

List), Factory Reset, Save Configuration, or Firmware Upgrade. Click on
the desired setup item to expand the page in the main navigation pane. The setup
pages covered in this utility are described below.

interface. Click on the down arrow to select the desired Internet connection
mode on the list.

Static configuration
CATV dynamic Mode
Selecting this mode enables you to obtain a dynamic IP address from your ISP
via DHCP support. Once the IP address is obtained, you can access the Internet.
For most cases, this page needs no input. However, some ISPs may require some
information for identification purposes. For example: Device/Computer name
and Domain Name - please enter the information required to complete the
settings.
For users who are using Cable Modem
Internet service.
For users who are using xDSL Internet
service that runs PPPoE. If your xDSL
service uses PPPoE, after installing the
IP Sharing device, do not run PPPoE
software on your computers.
Select this item when the ISP assigns a
static IP address for your account.

unless you are sure it is necessary to modify your MAC
address. To modify the address, check Modify and enter
the desired MAC address.
Enter a descriptive name for identification purposes. Some
Internet Service Providers (ISP) require this information
and if that is the case, they will provide you with the name.
For example: yourcompany.com. The maximum input
for this field is 32 alphanumeric characters and it is case
insensitive. Note: 1. Your ISP may ask you to input a
certain domain name. 2. A Domain name is also
required for the internal network’s email and news
functions.
This field is grayed out because the IP address is
obtained dynamically.
PPPoE (DSL dynamic Mode)
If this mode is selected and settings are saved, this IP sharing device will be
connected to the Internet over an always-on connection by a method provided by
PPPoE. PPPoE offers simulated dial-up software like Microsoft Dial-Up
Networking, which saves the time and effort required to run the program from a
PC. And the auto-connect/disconnect feature lets the system stay idle when there
is no activity, but pick up the connection in no time when there is network
activity. This can significantly save users’ costs on connection fees.
The TCP MSS function lets you choose the maximum packet size that fits your
need for optimal throughput. Reducing the packet size can help enhance
connection to certain web sites or speed up the packets to be received/sent.

The device will save the information;
restart and return to the previous menu
page. If you don’t see the saved
information on the screen: from the
menu on the left, click on the “Global

The max. input is 52 alphanumeric
characters (case sensitive).
The max. input is 36 alphanumeric
characters (case sensitive).
Service Name
For identification purposes: if it is
required, your ISP will provide you
with the information.
Max packet size (TCP MSS): Click
the down arrow to select the most
appropriate MSS (maximum segment
size; the default value is 1452) for
your application. Reducing the packet
size can help enhance connection to
certain web sites or speed up packet
transfer rates. If the incorrect selection
is selected, you may not be able to
open certain web sites.
Note that there may be more than one IP address from your ISP; select one
address and enter it in the corresponding field.

LAN Port
This screen contains settings for the LAN interface corresponding to the local
network. You can change the setting to distribute the IP address to local PCs, if
desired. If “Distribute IP address to local computer” is selected, users can enter
the IP addresses assigned for the computers on the LAN. The number of IP
addresses decides the number of clients allowed for the assigned IP addresses.
Note that all the PCs on the same LAN should use the same subnet Mask.
Users can also set Static DHCPs on this page. Users are allowed to set 32 Static
DHCPs. Using this feature, the device will assign the same IP address to a
computer (according to the network adapter’s MAC address) and this computer
becomes the only one able to request that IP address. This is quite useful to set
virtual servers which specifically require fixed IPs for outside Internet access.
