Chapter 1

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.

ADE-4000 User Manual

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

If any of the above items are damaged or missing, please contact your dealer
immediately.

Login And System Status

This Chapter details the first time login procedure and the Status
screen

Login

ADE-4000 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

Preparation

Before attempting to configure ADE-4000, please ensure that:

• Your PC can establish a physical connection to ADE-4000. The PC and ADE-

4000 must be directly connected (using the ETHERNET port on ADE-4000) or
on the same LAN segment.

• ADE-4000 must be installed and powered ON.

• If ADE-4000's default IP Address (10.0.0.2) is already used by another device,

the other device must be turned OFF until ADE-4000 is allocated a new IP Ad­dress during configuration.

Connecting to ADE-4000

To establish a connection from your PC to ADE-4000:

1. After installing ADE-4000 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-4000, as in this

example, which uses ADE-4000'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-4000 administrator is “admin”, and Password
is “epicrouter”. The default login User Name for non-administrator is “user”,
and Password is “password”.

ADE-4000 User Manual

If you can't connect

Figure 3-1: Logon Window

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