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.

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.

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.

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.

corresponding internal server. You can add virtual servers either by port number
or by name.
A maximum 24 Server entries are allowed and each port number can only be
assigned to one IP address.
NOTE: Setting up a Virtual Server is like opening the firewall, which exposes
your network to users on the Internet. This means the IP Share’s NAT will no
longer be able to provide protection from hackers.

When Should I modify the MAC address for WAN/global port settings?
Some ISPs identify their clients by accessing the MAC address and the host
names. Therefore, this information is required for identification purposes. The
MAC address required for WAN/global port settings is the adapter address for
the IP Sharing you are now configuring. Generally, it should be the one you
already registered in your ISP, and thus, there should be no need to modify it.
However, there is an exception when the IP sharing device you are now using is
not the one with the MAC address that you registered in your ISP. If this is the
case, it then becomes necessary to modify the MAC address.
What is DMZ?
DMZ is an abbreviation for “demilitarized zone”. A DMZ is a sort of middle
region between an external network, such as the Internet, and a company's
Intranet or internal network. It is a subnet that contains a firewall and proxy
server, which exist either in separate servers or in a single server. The firewall
connects to an external firewall on the Internet side, which may be at the ISP's
location and is often called a "boundary router." The double firewall architecture
adds an extra measure of security for the Intranet.
What is Dynamic DNS (DDNS)?
Through the Dynamic DNS service, an IP Registry provides a public central
database where information such as email addresses, hostnames, IPs etc. can be
stored and retrieved. If your DNS server uses an IP associated with dynamic IP,
DDNS will resolve this issue. The Dynamic DNS service acts much the same
way as old-time phone operators: users call the operator and ask to speak to you;
the operator, who knows your extension, will make the connection. Every time
your computer comes online, it will inform the Dynamic DNS server what the
current IP address is. Users who need to connect to your server will be sent to the
right place. You can visit HTTP://WWW.DYNDNS.ORG for more information
about DDNS.
Why "Dynamic DNS?"
With Dynamic DNS support, you can alias a dynamic IP address to a static
hostname, allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations
on the Internet. You must register with a Dynamic DNS Client to use this
service. Please go to HTTP://WWW.DYNDNS.ORG for more information.
What is a Wild card ?
A wildcard alias is a method that is used to give your hostname multiple
identities. If you were to register yourhost.com, everything under
(*).yourhost.com would be aliased to yourhost.com. This includes host names
such as www.yourhost.com or ftp.yourhost.com. Once the wild card feature has
been enabled, your host can be reached at *.yourhost.dyndns.org. First , you
need to register a dyanmic DNS account with www.dyndns.org
. To use this
service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS client. The Dynamic DNS
Client service provider will give you a password or key. Refer to the “What is
Dynamic DNS (DDNS)?” question above for more information.
What is MX (Mail Exchanger)? And why MX?
The Internet email system for both machines and network connections are prone
to error. Because of this, a chain of email hubs is built into the email architecture.
If the "primary" mail host goes down, instead of queuing up the mails in the
unreliable host on the Internet, they get sent to the "secondary" or "backup" mail
exchanger for delivery, until the primary mail server becomes functional again.
In technical terms, this service is known as a Backup Mail Exchanger.
What is PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet )?
The popular PPP Protocol is used primarily for dial-up Internet connections.
PPPoE is designed to integrate broadband services into this current, widely
deployed, easy-to-use, and low-cost dial-up-access networking infrastructure.
Thus, customers can get greater access speed without changing the operation
concept.
How do I know if I am using PPPoE?
If you are using a broadband connection and you are asked to login a user name and
password in order to connect, you are using PPPoE. Or, if you are still unsure, please
contact your ISP or call Hawking Tech Support.
IP address conflict
If a message appears indicating an IP address conflict on any of the workstations
in the network, it means that two or more workstations are operating under the
same IP address. If you have setup the device as a DHCP server:
1. Please run the "winipcfg" (see previous question) utility on the
problem workstation
2. Select the correct Network Adapter
3. Click “release all” to release all current configuration first
4. Then click “renew all” to renew the IP information again (for
Windows 2000/NT40/XP, run IPCONFIG /release and then run
IPCONFIG /renew).
If the DHCP function is disabled and static IP addresses are assigned to each
workstation, please double-check each workstation’s IP address for any duplicate
IP.
Cannot access the Internet
Check the physical connectivity of the local network.
Check to see that the LAN and WAN LEDs on the product’s front panel are lit. If
they are lit, please proceed to the next step. If not, make sure you are using the
correct cables and the cables are connected to the network devices properly.
Check the physical connectivity of the broadband device.
Examine the LED of the LAN port and the LED of the broadband signal input on
the Cable Modem/xDSL Modem. If the LAN LED is not lit, make sure you are
using the correct cables and that the cables are connected to the devices properly.
If the LED indicator for the broadband signal is not lit, please contact your ISP.
Check the status of your H-BR49.
After checking the cabling, you should also check to see if you have entered the
correct user name and password provided by your ISP. Please note that the user
name and password are case sensitive.
To check the Internet connection status, open the browser to start the web
configuration, and then select Network Status WAN IP Status. Check to see
that the Link Status displays “Connect successfully”. If not, you may have to
contact your ISP to see if their Internet service is available.
Figure 41
Check the logical connectivity from your computer to the Internet.
Refer to the section "PING.EXE" in the "TCP/IP Network diagnosis" chapter.
Follow the steps described in that chapter to determine the source of the problem.
Diagnosis
TCP/IP Network Diagnosis
Execute WINIPCFG.EXE or PING.EXE for TCP/IP network diagnosis.
WINIPCFG
The WINIPCFG program (for Win95, 98, and ME) is used to gather information
about the TCP/IP connections that are active on your system. It cannot be used to
dynamically adjust TCP/IP connections. You can also renew leases (if allowed
by the network), and get the current IP address assignments through this program.
From Windows, go to Start, click Run, enter WINIPCFG, and click OK.
Figure 42: Run
The following figure displays the adapter address and current TCP/IP address.
Note: Under “Ethernet Adapter Information”, select the correct Ethernet
adapter that is installed on your computer.
Figure 43: IP Configuration
Click the More Info button to get detailed configuration information.
Figure 44: IP Configuration
On the top, the computer’s “Host Name” and “DNS server” are configured to
call when it is looking for a named resource. The default gateway is the server
through which the client connects to the Internet. The DHCP Server identifies the
network server that assigns IP addresses to computers on the network.
If the product is working properly, the following should be apparent from this
screen:
1. The Client should have an IP address within the prescribed range
(default 192.168.1. #; where # is from 1 ~ 253).
2. The “DHCP” and “Default Gateway” should list the product’s
local port address (the device’s IP address; the default is
192.168.1.254).
3. The DNS server IP addresses should match the DNS server IP
addresses set in the device.
IPCONFIG
For Win NT and Win2000:
Go to “Start” ”Programs” ”Accessories” ”Command Prompt” to open
the Command Prompt. Type in IPCONFIG /ALL and hit “Enter” to see the
adapter’s information. Type in IPCONFIG /RELEASE to release the IP
addresses of all adapters and IPCONFIG /RENEW to renew the IP addresses.
For a list of the IPCONFIG commands, type in IPCONFIG /? .
PING.EXE
Ping is used to verify that a computer is active and available. Users can “ping” a
specific destination domain name or just the IP address.
Example:
To find the server 168.95.192.1, type the following command at the MS-DOS
prompt and then press “Enter”:
C:\>ping 168.95.192.1
PING can be executed in Windows as shown below:
1. Go to the Start menu.
2. Click Run.
3. Type ping 168.95.192.1 and click OK.
4. The server (IP address) is online if the following message appears:
Reply from 192.168.0.1: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=100
5. The destination device is not reachable if the following message appears:
Reply from 192.168.0.1: Destination host unreachable
or Request timed out.
ISP Connectivity Checkup
Issue a PING command to the IP address of your ISP’s gateway or DNS server.
For Example:
If the DNS server address is 203.66.81.254, enter Ping 203.66.81.254 at the C:\>
prompt. If successful, you will be able to reach your ISP server. If unsuccessful
(Request timeout), you may have trouble connecting to your ISP. Please verify
that the product is properly configured to connect to your ISP. Also verify that
both your Cable/DSL modem and the line are functioning.
Internet Connectivity Checkup
PING to an IP address or domain name on the Internet.
For Example:
C:\> P ING 168.95.192.1 –w 5000
C:\> PING www.yahoo.com –w 5000
If successful, you will be connected to the Internet.
If you can ping the ISP’s gateway, but cannot ping a specific site (e.g.,
www.yahoo.com) on the Internet, it is possible that your ISP has an internal
problem (the DNS server is not available).
