Chapter 1: Introduction

Introduction to your Router

Thank you for purchasing NWAR33P Router. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that combines an ADSL modem, ADSL2/2+ router and Ethernet network switch to provide everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over an ADSL broadband connection.

NWAR33P router complies with ADSL2+ standards for deployment worldwide and supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. Designed for small office, home office and residential users, the router enables even faster Internet connections. You can enjoy ADSL services and broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much easier and faster than ever before.

NWAR33P supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 – PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC

2516) to establish a connection with your ISP. Your new router also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

The perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection, NWAR33P allows multiple users to have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.

Your new router also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from access by outside users. Not only does it provide a natural firewall function with Network Address Translation (NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure your network. All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered. You can also configure your new router to block internal users from accessing the internet.

NWAR33P provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN IP addresses making them invisible to outside users on the Internet, so it is much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Second, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the services that outside users can access. To ensure that games and other Internet applications run properly, you can open specific ports for outside users to access internal services on your network.

The Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) client and server services allow multiple users to get IP addresses automatically when the router boots up. Simply set local machines as a DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from the DHCP server and reboot. Each time a local machine is powered up; the router recognizes it and assigns an IP address to instantly connect it to the LAN.

For advanced users, Virtual Service (port mapping) functions allow the product to provide limited

Page 9

visibility to local machines with specific services for outside users. For instance, a dedicated web server can be connected to the Internet via the router and then incoming requests for web pages that are received by the router can be rerouted to your dedicated local web server, even though the server now has a different IP address.

Virtual Server can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, you can set the router to allow separated FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game servers to share the same Internet-visible IP address while still protecting the servers and LAN users from hackers.

Features

Express Internet Access

The router complies with ADSL worldwide standards. It supports downstream rate up to 12/24 Mbps with ADSL2/2+, 8Mbps with ADSL. Users enjoy not only high-speed ADSL services but also broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much easier and faster than ever. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (ITU G.992.1); G.lite (ITU G.992.2); G.hs (ITU G994.1); G.dmt.bis (ITU G.992.3); G.dmt.bis. plus (ITU G.992.5)).

EWAN

NWAR33P EWAN port provides user an alternative means to connect to Cable Modems, VDSL, fiber optic lines and PON besides using ADSL for internet connection. If one uses ADSL to connect to the internet, EWAN can act as the 5th Ethernet port of the LAN. This alternative provides users with more flexibility & a faster way to get online.

Fast Ethernet Switch

4-port 1000Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching between MDI and MDI-X. An Ethernet straight or crossover cable can be used directly for auto detection.

Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection It supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 -PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over

ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with the ISP. The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) NWAR33P provides an embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection. You get greater

access speed without changing the operation concept, while sharing the same ISP account and paying for one access account. No PPPoE client software is required for the local computer. Automatic Reconnect and Disconnect Timeout (Idle Timer) functions are also provided.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices and PCs

from many different vendors. It makes network simple and affordable for users. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control and

Page 10

data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, users can now connect to Net meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.

Network Address Translation (NAT) Allows multi-users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP

address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateway (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.

Domain Name System (DNS) Relay It provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for users such as www.yahoo.

com) and IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server with this router‟s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router will be forwarded to the real DNS in the outside network.

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use the service, you must first apply for an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/. More than 5 DDNS servers are supported.

Virtual Server Users can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect

incoming service requests and forward either a single port or a range of ports to the specific local computer to handle it. For example, a user can assign a PC in the LAN acting as a WEB server inside and

expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside web servers directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the outside network, Internet.

Rich Packet Filtering Not only filters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will filter

packets from the Internet and vice versa, in addition to providing a higher level of security control.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server In the WAN site, the DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP)

automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate a range of client IP addresses and distribute them including IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP address to local computers. It provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.

802.11n Wireless AP with WPA Support With an integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point in the router, the device delivers up to 6

times faster speeds and 3 times farther range than an 802.11b/g wireless network. It supports a fast data transfer rate up to 300Mbps and is fully compatible with 802.11b/11g equipment. The supported features of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) enhance the security level of data protection and access control via Wireless LAN. The router also supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) that features the establishment of a

Page 11

secured wireless network. The built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS) also facilitates the flexibility for wireless network expansion without the need for any external wires or cables.

Web based GUI It supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with

online help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and manage this product.

Firmware Upgradeable Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.

modem. Once power LED shows orange, release the Reset Button. The modem‟s emergencyreflash web interface will then be accessible via http://192.168.1.254 where you can upload a firmware image to restore the modem to a functional state. Please note that the modem will only respond via its web interface at this address, and will not respond to ping requests from your PC or to telnet connections.

Before powering on the router to enter the recovery process, please configure the IP address of the PC as 192.168.1.100 and proceed with the following step by step guide.

1. Power the router off.

2. Hold the "Reset Button”.

3. Power on the router. Then Router's IP will reset to Emergency IP address (Say

192.168.1.254)

4. Download the firmware.

Cabling

One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front panel of your router is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify if you are using the proper cables.

Make sure that all devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) connected to the same telephone line as your router have a line filter connected between them and the wall outlet (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and that all line filters are correctly installed in a right way. If line filter is not installed and connected properly, it may cause problem to your ADSL connection or may result in frequent disconnections.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation

The router can be configured through your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me/Vista/W7, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.

Please check your PC network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.

There are ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater hub or connect

directly to your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior to connecting the router device. You ought to configure your PCs to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problem accessing the router web interface it is advisable to uninstall your firewall program on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their network.

Please follow the following steps to configure your PC network environment.

Connecting Your Router

Users will not be able to connect to the internet through EWAN if DSL is already connected to the internet. Only one connection type (EWAN or DSL) is allowed to connect to the internet at one time.

DHCP Server

DHCP allows networked devices to obtain information on the parameter of IP, Netmask, Gateway as well as DNS through the Ethernet Address of the device.

To configure the router‟s DHCP Server, select DHCP Server from the DHCP Server Mode drop- down menu. You can then configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the domain, IP pool (starting IP address and ending IP address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP address (the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the gateway IP address. These details are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from the DHCP server. If you check “Use Router as a

DNS Server”, the ADSL Router will perform the domain name lookup, find the IP address from

the outside network automatically and forward it back to the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network). Click Apply to enable this function.

Note: Option 66: This option is used to identify a TFTP server, User must set TFTP server IP address

if enable option 66. Click Apply to enable this fuction.
