Introduction
CPWBS154
Congratulations on your purchase of the Philips ADSL Wireless Base
Station, hereafter referred to as the ‘ADSL Wireless Base Station’. We are
proud to provide you with a powerful yet simple communication device for
connecting your local area network (LAN) to the Internet.
For those who want to surf the Internet in the most secure way, this router
provides a convenient and powerful solution.
About the ADSL Wireless Base Station
The ADSL Wireless Base Station provides Internet access to multiple users
by sharing a single-user account. Support is provided for both wired and
wireless devices. New technology provides wireless security via Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and MAC address filtering. It is simple
to configure and can be up and running in minutes.
Features and Benefits
• Internet connection to an ADSL line via an RJ-11 ADSL port
• Local network connection via four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports
• On-board IEEE 802.11g wireless network adapter
• DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name mapping
• Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion detection,
and NAT
•NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account, and
virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet services
such as web, FTP, email, and Telnet)
• VPN pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP)
• User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications requiring
multiple connections
• Easy setup through a web browser on any operating system that supports
TCP/IP
• Compatible with all popular Internet applications
Applications
Many advanced networking features are provided by the ADSL Wireless
Base Station:
Wireless and Wired LAN
The ADSL Wireless Base Station provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps
devices, and wireless IEEE 802.11g compatible devices, making it easy to
create a network in small offices or homes.
Internet Access
This device supports Internet access through an ADSL connection. Since
many DSL providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to establish communications with
end users, the ADSL Wireless Base Station includes built-in clients for these
protocols, eliminating the need to install these services on your computer.
Shared IP Address
The ADSL Wireless Base Station provides Internet access for up to
253 users via a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account,
multiple users on your network can browse the web at the same time.
Virtual Server
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the ADSL Wireless Base Station
to act as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access
various services at your site using a constant IP address.Then, depending on
the requested service (or por t number), the ADSL Wireless Base Station
can route the request to the appropriate server (at another internal
IP address).This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and
provides more flexible management by allowing you to change internal
IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.
DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet.
This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an Internet
application from functioning correctly.
Security
The ADSL Wireless Base Station supports security features that deny
Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services
that the administrator does not want to serve.The ADSL Wireless Base
Station's firewall also blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing,
Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port
loopback, Snork Attack,TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding.WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy), SSID, and MAC filtering provide security over the
wireless network.

Phone Line Configuration
Installing a Full-Rate Connection
If you are using a full-rate (G.dmt) connection, your service provider will
attach the outside ADSL line to a data/voice splitter. In this case you can
connect your phones and computer directly to the splitter as shown below:
Figure 2-3. Installing with a Splitter
Installing a Splitterless Connection
If you are using a splitterless (G.lite) connection, then your service provider
will attach the outside ADSL line directly to your phone system.
In this case you can connect your phones and computer directly to the
incoming ADSL line, but you will have to add low-pass filters to your
phones as shown below:

Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling
The four LAN ports on the ADSL Wireless Base Station auto-negotiate the
connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, as well
as the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.
Use RJ-45 cables to connect any of the four LAN ports on the ADSL
Wireless Base Station to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise,
cascade any of the LAN ports on the ADSL Wireless Base Station to an
Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect your PC or other network
equipment to the hub or switch.When inserting an RJ-45 connector, be
sure the tab on the connector clicks into position to ensure that it is
properly seated.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port.
This may damage the ADSL Wireless Base Station.
Notes:
– Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors
for all 10/100 ethernet ports. Use Category 3, 4, or 5 for connections that
operate at 10 Mbps, and Category 5 for connections that operate at
100 Mbps.
– Make sure each twisted-pair cable length does not exceed 100 meters
(328 feet).
Connect the Power Adapter
Plug the power adapter into the power socket on the rear of the ADSL
Wireless Base Station, and the other end into a power outlet.
Check the power indicator on the front panel is lit. If the power indicator is
not lit, refer to ‘Troubleshooting’ on page 67-68.
In case of a power input failure, the ADSL Wireless Base Station will
automatically restart and begin to operate once the input power is
restored.
ENGLISH 11
Configuring Client PC
After completing hardware setup by connecting all your network devices,
you need to configure your computer to connect to the ADSL Wireless
Base Station.
