Introduction

This Chapter provides an overview of ADE-4000's features and
capabilities.

Congratulations on the purchase of ADE-4000. The ADSL Bridge Router will allow
multiple LAN users to share an Internet user account, via a DSL connection. Once
the ADSL Bridge Router is installed and configured, the Internet is just a click away.

Figure 1-1: ADSL Bridge Router

ADE-4000 Features

ADE-4000 incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide
sophisticated functions for user’s convenience while surfing in the net.

Internet Access Features

• Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN (up to 253 users) can ac-

cess the Internet through ADE-4000, using only a single external IP Address via
built-in 4 switch ports. (router mode).

• DSL Service Support. ADE-4000 has a RJ-11 port for connecting a DSL

connection to provide Internet resource sharing feature. All popular DSL service
providers are supported.

• Standard Compliance. ADSL-Compliant with ANSI T1.413 Issue 2, ITU

G.992.1 (G.dmt) Annex A for ADE-4000 and Annex B for ADE-4000B, and
G.992.2 (G.lite).

• Data Transfer Rate. Data rate up to 8 Mbps downstream and up to 1 Mbps

upstream

• Multi-system Support. USB interface driver supports Microsoft Windows

98/ME/2000 and Windows XP.

• User Friendly Interface. Simple, intuitive, yet powerful graphical user inter-

face can be accessed from common web browsers nowadays

• Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection,

ADE-4000 supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on con­nection) and Fixed IP Address.

Advanced Functions

• Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers

on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.

• DMZ. One (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-

way communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This pro­vides the ability to run programs, which demand for bi-directional
communication.

• System Log & Internet Access diagnostics ADE-4000 implements

system log and Internet access diagnostic help users to diagnose what could
be wrong via system log or Internet access diagnostics.

• VPN Support. VPN (Virtual Private Networking) connections using PPTP,

L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.

LAN Features

w Four Ethernet and USB ports. Users may share Internet access via built-

in 4 switch ports. The other (the USB port) can be connected to USB interface
DSL/Cable router or directly with computer.

w DHCP Server support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a

dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. ADE-4000 can
act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN.

Configuration & Management

• Easy Setup. Use WEB browser from anywhere to begin the configuration.

• Remote Management. The ADE-4000 can be managed from any PC on

your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be con­figured via the Internet.

Security Features

w Two-level password protected Configuration. Two-level password

protection can provided stronger protection to prevent unauthorized users
from modifying the configuration data and settings.

w NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Transla-

tion) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address,
the location and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external
viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - ADE-4000.

Package Contents

The following items should be included:

• ADE-4000 Unit

• Power Adapter

• CD-ROM containing USB port driver

• USB cable

• RJ-45 cable

• RJ-11 cable

LAN Configuration

The LAN IP and Subnet Mask of ADE-4000 are the values seen by the users on
their internal network. The default IP is 10.0.0.2 for IP and 255.0.0.0 for Subnet
Mask.

Figure 4-13: LAN Configuration

DHCP Setting

A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server automatically assigns IP
address to each computer on your network. Unless you already have one, it is
highly recommended that your router be set up as a DHCP server..

•System Allocated

The DHCP address pool is based on LAN port IP address plus 12 IP addresses.
For example, the LAN IP address is 10.0.0.2; the DHCP address pool is at the
range of 10.0.0.3 to 10.0.0.14.

• User Defined

The DHCP address pool is at the range of User Defined Start Address and
User Defined End Address. Maximum IP pool size in ADE-4000 is 253.
IP address range: 255 total IP addresses – 1 broadcast address – 1 LAN port IP
address.

• Lease time

The Lease time is the amount of time of a network user will be allowed to con­nect with DHCP server. If all fields are 0, the allocated IP addresses will be

effective forever.

• User mode

Single User mode: DHCP server only allocates one IP address to local PC.
Multiple User mode: DHCP server allocates the IP addresses specified bye the

DHCP address pool.

Figure 4-17: NAT Session Name Configuration

System Configuration

23

Three types of NAT (Network Address Translation) service are provided by ADE-

4000.

NAT

NAT option only maps single WAN IP address to the local PC IP address. This is

peer-to-peer mapping (1 on 1). For each PVC, only one local PC IP address can be
associated with each WAN PVC. If more than one IP address is inserted for one

NAT session, only the first IP address of each session takes effect.

NAPT

NAPT option maps the IP address and UDP/TCP port ID of the WAN PVC to the IP

address and UDP/TCP port ID of the local PCs. (1 to N). It is the multiple-mapping
mechanism. More than one local PC can be associated with one WAN PVC.
The setting procedures are as follows:

Dynamic NAPT

Dynamic NAPT option maps the IP address and UDP/TCP port ID of the WAN

PVC to the IP address and UDP/TCP port ID of the local PCs. (1 to N). It is the
multiple-mapping mechanism, and it is dynamically allocated, this provides more
functionality for Internet application under a NAT networking environment.
The setting procedures are as follows:

Virtual Servers

Virtual server feature allows users to make Servers on your LAN accessible to
Internet users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on
your LAN because of native NAT protection.

The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to
connect to your servers.

For Internet users to access all virtual Servers on LAN side, they have to
connect to WAN port IP on ADE-4000 allocated by ISP.

To provide server-based service, WAN IP address should be static, rather than
dynamic, to make it easier for Internet users to connect to your Servers.

However, DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service allows users to connect to your Virtual
Servers using a URL, instead of an IP Address.

You can set up public services on your network by configuring the values in the
Virtual Server Configuration page. You may assign certain IP addresses as the
destination of the network information. When users from the Internet make certain
requests of your network, ADE-4000 will forward those requests to the appropriate
computer. (Note: DHCP function must be disabled or the local server itself has to
be fix-IP addressed to use this function.)

This function is generally used to set up a web server, ftp server, or e-mail server
on your network. Figure shows the screen of Virtual Server Configuration page,

To add a Virtual Server:

Step 1

Select the public port number used by the service, ranged from 0 to 65535.

Step 2

Select the private port number used on internal server mapping to public port, it is
not required to be the same as public port number.

Step 3

Select appropriate communication type via type of port checkbox.

Step 4

Enter the Host IP Address of local server that you want the Internet users to be
able to access.

Step 5

Click the “Add This Setting” button to save the settings.

Step 6

Click “Save settings” on left panel to write configuration into machine, and reboot
to make settings effective.

Bridge Filtering

The Bridge Filtering configuration page allows you to set the configuration of IP
filtering. You can add 4 records max.

Source MAC

When the bridge filtering is enabled, enter the Source MAC address, select Block

DNS Configuration

The DNS Configuration page allows you to set the configuration of DNS proxy.
ADE-4000 supports the DNS proxy function. For the DHCP requests from local
PCs, the DHCP server will set the LAN port IP as the default DNS server. Thus, all
DNS query messages will come into LAN port first. The DNS proxy on the ADSL
modem recorded the available DNS servers, and forward DNS query messages to
one of DNS server.

Four DNS proxy modes available in ADE-4000:

Disable DNS Proxy

The LAN port does not process the DNS query message. For the DHCP requests
from local PCs, the DHCP server will set the user-configured preferred DNS sever
or alternate DNS server whichever is available as the DNS server. Then all DNS
query messages will be directly sent to the DNS servers.

Use Auto Discovered DNS Servers Only

The DNS proxy will store the DNS server IP addresses obtained from DHCP client
or PPP into the table. And all DNS query messages will be sent to one of the dy­namically obtained DNS servers.

Use User Configured DNS Servers Only

The DNS proxy will use the user-configured preferred DNS server and alternate
DNS server. And all DNS query message will be sent to one of DNS servers.

Auto Discovery + User Configured

The DNS proxy’s table has all the IP addresses of dynamically obtained and user
configured DNS servers.

Note: Before the DNS proxy mode is enabled; please go to the Miscellaneous

Configuration to enable the DNS proxy. Otherwise, DNS Proxy selection will

not be valid.

MRU

MRU stands for Maximum Receive Unit. MRU value may be sent to inform the peer
that the implementation can receive larger packets, or to request that the peer send
smaller packets. If there is no special demand, leave this default value

MTU

MTU stands for Maximum Transmission Unit. MTU value is the default packet size
that Windows uses to negotiate with. Different connection types exist different MTU
value. An Ethernet (V2) frame has a MTU of 1500 bytes, and a PPPoE frame has a
MTU of 1492 bytes. Please insert proper MTU value to match connection type.
Default value: 1492.

MSS

TCP MSS value specifies the maximum amount of TCP data in a single IP data­gram that the local system can accept (reassemble). Typically, a workstation will
use the "outgoing interface MTU" minus 40 as its reported MSS. For example, an
Ethernet MSS value would be 1460 (1500 - 40 = 1460).

Authentication

Specify authentication method to be enabled on the connection. There are three
authentication type to be chosen: Auto;CHAP;PAP. If there is no mention or special
demands from ISP, please leave default value: “Auto” in this column

PC Configuration

This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("In­ternal") LAN.

Overview

For each PC, the following may to be configured:

• TCP/IP network settings

• Internet Access configuration

Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via
ADE-4000.

The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
ADE-4000 uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that

the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.

TCP/IP Settings

If default ADE-4000 settings are loaded, and default Windows 95/98/ME/2000
TCP/IP configuration, no changes need to be made.

• By default, ADE-4000 will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a
suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.

• For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as
a DHCP client.

WAN side HTTP server

When it is enabled, the Web setting pages of ADE-4000 can be accessed from the
WAN side. Users can limit the administration privileges to a specified IP address or
limit to LAN side user. Meantime,

FTP server

When it is enabled, the FTP connection can be established from both the LAN and
WAN sides.

TFTP server

When it is enabled, it can upgrade the image code with the TFTP client application
run at either the LAN or WAN sides.

An example for the TFTP client updating the vxworks.z product image code is:

Figure 6-10: Example for TFTP server

HTTP server port

HTTP server port in ADE-4000 can be changed to other secure port number. For
example, when it is changed to 8888, the HTTP server address for the LAN side is

http://10.0.0.2:8888.

DMZ

A DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) is added between a protected network and an external
network, in order to provide an additional layer of security. DMZ feature allows
unrestricted 2-way communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet.
This provides the most flexibility and compatibility toward Internet applications or
programs, which are often restricted access with firewalls.

PPP connect on WAN access

If enabled, the PPP session will be automatically established when there is a packet
wants to go out the WAN.
The differences between PPP connect on WAN access and the Automatic Recon­nect:
Some ISPs would terminate the PPP session due to the inactivity.
For the PPP connect on WAN access, the PPP will be automatically reconnected
when an URL is entered in the browser (packet interested in going out the WAN).
For the Automatic Reconnect, it will reconnect the PPP session whenever it is
terminated by ISP.

PPP Half Bridge:

When the PPP Half Bridge is enabled, only one PC is able to access the Internet,
and the DHCP server will duplicate the WAN IP address from the ISP to the local
client PC. Only the PC with the WAN IP address can access the Internet when

PPP-half-bridge feature is assigned.

Appendix A

Troubleshooting

This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions.

Overview

This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using
ADE-4000 and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps
and ADE-4000 still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice.

General Problems

Question
1:

Can't connect to ADE-4000 to configure it.

Answer 1:

Check the following:

• ADE-4000 is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is
powered ON.

• Ensure that your PC and ADE-4000 are on the same network
segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)

• If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP
client), restart it.

• If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using
an IP Address within the range 10.0.0.3 to 10.255.255.254 and
thus compatible with ADE-4000's default IP Address of 10.0.0.2.
Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.0.0.0 to match ADE-

4000.
In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control
Panel-Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.

Configuration and Internet Access

Question 1

When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.

Answer 1

A number of things could be causing this.
Try the following troubleshooting steps.

• Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP
settings are correct. If using a Fixed IP Address, check the Net­work Mask, Default gateway and DNS configured on PC.

• If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check
ADE-4000. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to it and
check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and
power connections.)

• If ADE-4000 is configured correctly, contact your ISP to see if
Internet connection is working correctly.

Question 2

If the PPP is disconnected after the Disconnect Timeout and how can

A

Appendix A - Troubleshooting

49

I reconnect it?

Answer 2

You have to go to the PPP Status under Admin Privileged column,
choose the correct PVC and Connect option, and then click Execute
to restart a new PPP secession.

Question 3

Since only one PVC is mapped to one local PC IP address, why can I
input more than one IP address for one NAT session?

Answer 3

Even it is applicable to insert multiple IPs for NAT mapping, only the
first IP address of each session takes effect.
