Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Introducing the ADE-3400/4400

Planet ADE-3400/4400 ADSL 2/2+ Router is an “all-in-one” unit, combining an ADSL 2/2+ modem, NAT router and Ethernet switch (ADE-4400), providing things you need to get the PCs/laptops on your network connected to the Internet over your ADSL or more ADSL 2+ high speed broadband connection. ADE-3400 is a single port ADSL 2/2+ modem router and ADE-4400 is an ADSL 2/2+ router with 4-port 10/100Mbps Ethernet switch.

Each ADE-3400/4400 complies with ADSL 2/2+ standards for worldwide deployment and supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 3.5 Mbps. It is designed for small office, home office and residential users, enabling even faster speed Internet connections. User 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.

Via the user-friendly management interface, the ADSL 2/2+ router can be managed by workstations running standard web browsers. It provides NAT, Security, Dynamic DNS, Time Zone, Remote Management, UPnP, Static Route, and Maintenance.

For more and more important security issue, this product serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being accessed by outside users. Not only provides the natural firewall function, it also provides rich firewall features to secure user’s network. All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered. Besides, it can be configured to block internal users from accessing to the Internet.

1.2 Features of the ADE-3400/4400

ADSL Multi-Mode Standard

It supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1); G.lite (G992.2), G.hs (G994.1), G.dmt.bis (G.992.3), G.dmt.bisplus (G.992.5).

Fast Ethernet Switch (ADE-4400)

A 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching between MDI and MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports.

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.

Quick Installation Wizard

It supports a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly.

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 data transfer among networked devices.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

It 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.

Firewall

It supports simple firewall with NAT technology and provides option for blocking access from Internet, like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, WEB, SNMP, and IGMP.

Domain Name System (DNS) relay

It provides an easy way to map the domain name 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.

Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)

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.

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)

Provides embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection. Users can get greater access speed without changing the operation concept, sharing the same ISP account and paying for one access account.

Virtual Server

User can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect incoming service request and forward it to the specific local computer to handle it.

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.

RIP1/2 Routing

It supports RIP1/2 routing protocol for routing capability.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP.

Web based GUI

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

Firmware Upgradeable

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

Rich Management Interfaces

It supports flexible management interfaces with LAN port and WAN port. Users can use Telnet, WEB GUI, and SNMP through LAN or WAN ports to configure and manage the device.

Connect the supplied power adapter to this jack.

After the device is powered on, press it to reset the device or restore to factory default settings. 0-3 seconds: reset the device 6 seconds above: restore to factory default settings (this is used when you can not login to the router, e.g. forgot the password)

Connect a UTP Ethernet cable (Cat-5 or Cat-5e) to one of the four LAN ports when connecting to a PC or an office/home network of 10Mbps or 100Mbps.

Connect the supplied RJ-11 (“telephone”) cable to this port when connecting to the ADSL/telephone network.

2.4 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 top of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables.

Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your Planet router (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician). Also, ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections.

Chapter 3 Installation

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

3.1 Before Configuration

PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly or through an external repeater hub. PCs also have TCP/IP installed and configured 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 problems accessing the router’s web interface, it may be advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs. They can cause problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect their network. Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please check your PC’s 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.
