INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™ Dual WAN VPN Router,
Model 524049.
This versatile device combines a load-balancing router with a failover function, a rewall, a
VPN server and a 5-port Fast Ethernet smart switch, providing the speed and security that
makes your network more efcient in its operation and more effective in its communication.
The Dual WAN VPN Router can be connected to two different WAN connections at the same
time, providing an efcient backup mechanism for the main Internet connection. It can also be
used to balance the load between the two connections based on smart algorithms or sophisticated
user-dened load sharing rules. Whether you want to reserve one of the two WAN lines for a
special application or a special user, or use it as a backup for the main line, there are very few
things which you cannot do with this device.
The router comes with an integrated 5-port 10/100 Mbps LAN switch for plenty of connectivity.
The switch provides smart functions, such as VLAN, Port Mirroring (Sniffer Port) and port
controls, which you normally can only nd in a business smart switch.
It also includes a true rewall that secures your network against hackers. With Network Address
Translation (NAT) to shield your networked devices from intruders, Denial of Service (DoS)
attack prevention to avert potential threats by scanning incoming trafc, integrated virus and
worm detection offering an additional layer of protection (even including an e-mail alert function),
and content control using URL and domain ltering, you can rest assured that you’ve taken the
necessary precautions to protect the data on your network. And if this were not enough, the
built-in VPN server supports up to ve connections simultaneously, ideal for telecommuters
who need a more secure connection to the Internet.
Plus, the Quality of Service (QoS) feature lets you decide which applications are most important
to ensure they have priority with available bandwidth during network peak times.
Easy-to-follow instructions in this user manual help make installation of this router quick and
simple, so you’ll also soon be enjoying the benets of these additional features:
• Integrated scheduler to limit Internet access to client computers in the LAN
• Content control through URL and domain lter

DUAL WAN VPN ROUTER SETUP/INSTALLATION
The rst step in setting up the Dual WAN VPN Router is to log in through your Web browser.
Conguration procedures for setting up the router are presented in subsequent sections of
this user manual.
Log In
1. In the Address bar of your Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 with JavaScript or Netscape
Navigator 4.0 or above), enter the default IP address: 192.168.0.1.
2. When the Login screen displays, click “Login” to continue.
PPPoE (ADSL)
1. If using an ADSL modem, connect it to a WAN port and conrm that a lighted WAN LED
indicates a proper connection.
2. On the Basic Setup tab, click WAN(1 or 2) Setup.
3. Select “PPPoE User (ADSL).”
4. In the “User ID” and “Password” elds, enter the user ID and password provided by your
Internet service provider (ISP).
5. Click “Apply.” Re-congure the remaining settings as desired:
MTU: Input an MTU value for data packages. The default value is 1454, which is the
recommended value and should not be changed.
Disconnect PPP session if idle time is longer than _ Min: If you select this option, the
value entered represents the idle time, after which the IP router automatically disconnects
from the Internet.
8
ROUTER SETUP/INSTALLATION
Connect On Demand: The Dual WAN VPN Router can automatically connect with the
Internet if there is Internet access after disconnection. NOTE: If, during normal operation,
disconnection occurs due to external causes, the router will immediately try to re-connect
with the Internet, and will continue attempting to re-connect until a successful connection
is made. This is an inner function of the router, and has nothing to do with “Connect On
Demand,” which only works when the “Disconnect PPP session if idle time is longer than
_ Min” function is selected.
Connect Manually: When this is selected, you need to re-connect with Internet manually
after disconnection. As with “Connect On Demand,” this option only works when the
“Disconnect PPP session if idle time is longer than _ Min” function is selected.
Prevent reconnection although no response from PPP server: Select this option to
shut off the router’s inner automatic-connection function.
6. A screen displays presenting “Conn
(Connection) Type” and “Conn.
(Connection) State/Status.”
• If “Successfully connected” displays in
the “Conn. State” eld, the conguration
is correct. Proceed to Step 7.
