Chapter 1
Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of ADW-4100's features and capabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of ADW-4100. The ADSL Wireless Modem
Router will allow multiple LAN and WLAN users to share an Internet user account,
via a DSL connection. Once the ADSL Wireless Modem Router is installed and
configured, the Internet is just a click away.
Figure 1-1: ADSL Bridge Router
ADW-4100 Features
ADW-4100 incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide
sophisticated functions for user’s convenience while surfing in the net.
Internet Access Features
w Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the
Internet through ADW-4100, 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,
ADW-4100A/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.

ADW-4100 User Manual
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 Built-in 4-port switch. Four Auto-Negotiation, Auto-MDI/MDI-X Ethernet
RJ-45 ports are used to connect office network or workstations.
w 802.11b WLAN support. ADW-4100 is a Wi-Fi compliant Access Point,
provides operating range up to 300 feet indoor and 1100 feet outdoor. With
the 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption, the security of wireless connection can
be assured.
w DHCP Server support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a
dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. ADW-4100 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 ADW-4100 can be managed from any PC
on your LAN or WLAN. 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 - ADW-4100.

Login And System Status
This Chapter details the first time login procedure and the Status
screen
Login
ADW-4100 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
ADW-4100.
Preparation
Before attempting to configure ADW-4100, please ensure that:
• Your PC can establish a physical connection to ADW-4100. The PC and ADW-
4100 must be directly connected (using the LAN port on ADW-4100) or on the
same LAN segment.
• ADW-4100 must be installed and powered ON.
• If ADW-4100's default IP Address (10.0.0.2) is already used by another device,
the other device must be turned OFF until ADW-4100 is allocated a new IP Address during configuration.
Connecting to ADW-4100
To establish a connection from your PC to ADW-4100:
1. After installing ADW-4100 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 ADW-4100, as in
this example, which uses ADW-4100'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 ADW-4100 administrator is “admin”, and Password
is “epicrouter”. The default login User Name for non-administrator is “user”,
and Password is “password”.

ADW-4100 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 ADW-4100'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 ADW-4100'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 ADW-4100 are on the same network segment.
(If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
