Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of ADE-3100's features and ca­pabilities.
Congratulations on the purchasing of ADE-3100. The ADSL Modem Router will allow multiple LAN users to share an Internet user account, via a DSL connection. Once the ADSL Modem Router is installed and configured, the Internet is just a click away.
Figure 1-1: ADSL Modem Router

ADE-3100 Features

ADE-3100 incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide sophisticated functions for users convenience while surfing in the net.

Internet Access Features

w Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN can access the Internet
through ADE-3100, using only a single external IP Address. (Routing mode)
w Standard Compliance. ADSL-Compliant with ANSI T1.413 Issue 2, ITU
G.992.1 (G.DMT), and G.992.2 (G.lite).
w Data Transfer Rate. Data rate up to 8 Mbps downstream and up to 1 Mbps
upstream
w User Friendly Interface. Simple and intuitive graphical user interface w Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection,
ADE-3100A/4100B supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allo­cated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.

Advanced Functions

w Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet serv-
ers which located on LAN side. The required setup is quick and easy.
w 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.

LAN Features

w DHCP Server support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a
dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. ADE-3100 can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN.

Configuration & Management

w Easy Setup. Use WEB browser from anywhere to begin the configuration. w Remote Management. PLANET ADE-3100 can be managed from any PC
on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the Internet.
w System Diagnostic & Log: 7 layer diagnostics with links to help pages
and system event logs can greatly help network administrator solve network problem.

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-3100.

If ADE-3100's IP Address or password is lost, the following procedure can be used to recover from this situation.
Pressing the Reset button for more than 10 seconds. ADE-3100 will restore to factory default setting. Note that this should be done only when you had tried all the troubleshooting options. Pressing the Reset button during operation may bring you into the risk of creating IP address conflict between your PC and the router. In such case, you may be compelled to reboot your entire system(s).

Login And System Status
This Chapter details the first time login procedure and the Status screen

Login

ADE-3100 contains an HTTP server. This enables you to connect to it, and config­ure it, using your Web Browser. Your Browser must have JavaScript support. The configuration program has been tested on the following browsers:
Netscape V4.08 or later
Internet Explorer V4 or later
Moreover, it is suggested to use an Ethernet LAN PC for the initial configuration of ADE-3100.

Preparation

Before attempting to configure ADE-3100, please ensure that:
Your PC can establish a physical connection to ADE-3100. The PC and ADE-
3100 must be directly connected (using the LAN port on ADE-3100) or on the same LAN segment.
ADE-3100 must be installed and powered ON.
If ADE-3100's default IP Address (10.0.0.2) is already used by another device,
the other device must be turned OFF until ADE-3100 is allocated a new IP Ad­dress during configuration.

Connecting to ADE-3100

To establish a connection from your PC to ADE-3100:
1. After installing ADE-3100 in your LAN, start your PC. If your PC is already
running, restart it.
2. Start your WEB browser.
3. In the Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the IP Address of ADE-3100, as in this
example, which uses ADE-3100's default IP Address:
http://10.0.0.2
4. If connection is established, a pop-up password request page will show up. The
default login User Name of ADE-3100 administrator is admin, and Password is epicrouter. The default login User Name for non-administrator is user, and Password is password.

ADE-3100 User Manual
If you can't connect
Figure 3-1: Logon Window
If ADW does not respond, check the following:
Machine is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command:
Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
Enter the command:
ping 10.0.0.2 If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your PC's IP address is not compatible with ADE-3100's IP Address. (See next item.)
If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range 10.0.0.3 to 10.255.255.254 to be compatible with ADE-3100's de­fault IP Address of 10.0.0.2. Also, the Network Mask must be set to
255.0.0.0. See Chapter 5 - PC Configuration for details on checking your PC's TCP/IP settings.
Ensure that your PC and ADE-3100 are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
