Delivering High-Demand Service Connectivity for ISP / Triple Play Devices

With built-in 100Base-FX fiber interface, the FRT-405N supports different optic types for WAN and the

distance can be up to 15~60 km through the Fiber connection. The FRT-405N is the ideal solution for FTTH

(Fiber-to-the-home) applications. It can handle multiple high-throughput services such as IPTV, on-line

gaming, VoIP, Internet access and keep the bandwidth usage smoothly. The FRT-405N also incorporates a

4-port 10/100Base-TX switching hub, which makes it easily creates or extends your LAN and prevents the

attacks from Internet.

High-Speed 802.11n Wireless

With built-in IEEE 802.11b/g and 802.11n wireless network capability, the FRT-405N allows any computer and

wireless-enabled network device to connect to it without additional cabling. 802.11n wireless capability brings

users the highest speed of wireless experience ever; the data transmission rate can be as high as 30

The radio coverage is also doubled to offer high speed wireless connection even in widely spacious offices or

houses.

Secure Wireless Access Control

To secure wireless communication, the FRT-405N supports most up-to-date encryptions including WEP,

WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. Moreover, the FRT-405N supports WPS configuration with PBC/PIN type for

users to easily connect to a secured wireless network.

Providing Superior Function

The FRT-405N provides user-friendly management interface to be managed easily through standard web

browsers. For networking management features, the FRT-405N not only provides basic router functions such

as DHCP server, virtual server, DMZ, QoS, and UPnP, but also provides full firewall functions including

Network Address Translation (NAT), IP/Port/MAC Filtering and Content Filtering. Furthermore, the

FRT-405N serves as an Internet firewall to protect your network from being accessed by unauthorized users.

1.3 Product Features

 Internet Access Features

 Shared Internet Access: All users on the LAN can access the Internet through the

FRT-405N using only one single external IP address. The local (invalid) IP addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).

 IEEE 802.3u 100Base-FX standard: The FRT-405N provides long distance connection

base on optical fiber transceiver which supports FTTH and IPTV applications.

 Multiple WAN Connection: Upon the Internet (WAN port) connection, the FRT-405N

supports Dynamic IP address (IP address is allocated upon connection), fixed IP address, PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP.

 Bridge and Router Application: The FRT-405N supports two application modes: bridging

and routing modes. Currently, the default mode is routing mode. Note: routing mode and bridging mode cannot be used simultaneously.

 Advanced Internet Functions

 Virtual Servers: This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN.

The setup is quick and easy.

User Manual of FRT-405N

 Firewall: The FRT-405N supports simple firewall with NAT technology.

 Universal Plug and Play (UPnP): UPnP allows automatic discovery and configuration of

the Broadband Router. UPnP is supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.

 User Friendly Interface: The FRT-405N can be managed and controlled through Web UI.

 DMZ Support: The FRT-405N can translate public IP addresses into private IP address to

allow unlimited 2-way communication with the servers or individual users on the Internet. It provides the most flexibility to run programs smoothly for programs that might be restricted in NAT environment.

 RIP1/2 Routing: It supports RIPv1/2 routing protocol for routing capability.

 VPN Pass-through Support: PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software are

transparently supported - no configuration is required.

 LAN Features

 4-Port Switch: The FRT-405N incorporates a 4-Port 10/100Base-TX switching hub,

making it easy to create or extend your LAN.

 DHCP Server Support: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP

address to PCs and other devices upon request. The FRT-405N can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN.

 Wireless Features

 Supports IEEE 802.11b, g and 802.11n Wireless Stations: The 802.11n standard

provides backward compatibility with the 802.11b and 802.11g standard, so 802.11b,

802.11g, and 802.11n can be used simultaneously. IEEE 802.11n wireless technology is capable of up to 300Mbps data rate.

 Two External Antennas with MIMO Technology: The FRT-405N provides farther

coverage, less dead spaces and higher throughput with 2T2R MIMO technology.

User Manual of FRT-405N

 WPS Push Button Control: The FRT-405N supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) for

users to easily connect to wireless network without configuring the security.

 WEP Support: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of 64 bit and 128 bit

are supported.

 WPA-PSK Support: WPA-PSK_TKIP and WAP-PSK_AES encryption are supported.  Wireless MAC Access Control: The Wireless Access Control feature can check the MAC

address (hardware address) of wireless stations to ensure that only trusted wireless stations can access your LAN.

Determine your Connection Settings

Before you configure the router, you need to know the connection information supplied by your Internet service provider.

Connecting the Fiber Router to your Network

Unlike a simple hub or switch, the setup of the Fiber Router consists of more than simply plugging everything together. Because the Router acts as a DHCP server, you will have to set some values within the Router, and also configure your networked PCs to accept the IP Addresses the Router chooses to assign them.

Generally there are several different operating modes for your applications. And you can know which mode is necessary for your system from ISP. These modes are router, bridge, and PPPoE+NAT.

Configuring with Web Browser

It is advisable to change the administrator password to safeguard the security of your network. To configure the router, open your browser, type “http: //192.168.1.1” into the address bar and click “Go” to get to the login page.

5.1 Operation Mode

The FRT-405N supports three operation modes – Bridge, Gateway and WISP. Currently, the default setting is Gateway mode.

Please note that Bridge mode and Gateway mode cannot be used simultaneously. For Bridge mode, all interfaces are bridged into a single bridge interface. For Gateway mode, the fiber port is treated as WAN port. The other interfaces are bridged together and are treated as LAN ports.

For WISP Mode, all the Ethernet ports (including fiber port) are bridged together and the wireless interface of this router will come to WAN port for connecting to an ISP’s Access Point as Internet connection. The NAT is enabled and PCs in Ethernet ports share the same IP to ISP through wireless LAN. The connection type can be set up on WAN page by using PPPoE, DHCP client, PPTP/L2TP client or static IP.

If you select Bridge mode and WAN configuration in Internet Settings that are not

available, firewall functions on the left page are not available, either.

After finishing the settings, click Apply to save the settings and enable the new configuration to take effect. Click Cancel to close without saving.
