Wireless ADSL Router Features
The Wireless ADSL Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to
provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
• Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet
through the Wireless ADSL Route r, using only a single external IP Address. The local
(invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT
(Network Address Translation).
Built-in ADSL Modem. The Wireless ADSL Router has a built-in ADSL modem ,
•
supporting all common ADSL connections.
IPoA, PPPoE, PPPoA, Direct Connection Support. The Wireless ADSL Router
•
supports all common connection methods.

Introduction
•
Auto-detection of Internet Connection Method. In most situations, Tthe Wireless
ADSL Router can test your ADSL and Internet connection to determine the c onnection
method used by your ISP.
function in the CO side.
• Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (ADSL port) connection, the Wireless
ADSL Router supports both Dynam ic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection)
and Fixed IP Address.
This will require ISP or network service provider to enable F5
Advanced Internet Functions
• Application Level Gateways (ALGs). Applications which use non-standard connec-
tions or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and
allow such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.
•
Dynamic DNS Support. DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature, allows
users to connect to Servers on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if you have a dynamic IP address which changes every time you connect.
•
URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.
•
Access Control. Using the Access Control feature, you can assign LAN users to differ-
ent groups, and determine which Internet services are available to each group.
Firewall. As well as the built-in firewall to protect your LAN, you can define Firewall
•
Rules to determine which incoming and outgoing traffic should be permitted.
Scheduling. Both the URL Filter and Firewall rules can be scheduled to operate only at
•
certain times. This provides great flexibility in controlling Internet -bound traffic.
Logs. Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send log data to a Syslog
•
Server. Log data can also be E-mailed to you.
Port Triggering. This feature, also called Special Applications, allows you to us e
•
Internet applications which normally do not function when used behind a firewall.
Port Forwarding. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your
•
LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
QoS Support Quality of Service can be used to handle packets so that more important
•
connections receive priority over less important one.
VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software
•
using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.
Wireless Features
• Standards Compliant. The Wireless ADSL Router complies with the IEEE802.11g
(DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.
Compatible with 11n Wireless Stations (AD1003). The 802.11n Draft standard
•
provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11b and
802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.
WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of
•
64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before transmission, providing
protection against snoopers.
WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmission,
•
providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than WEP, and
provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP.
WPA2-PSK support. Support for WPA2 is also included. WPA2 uses the extremely
•
secure AES encryption method.

Wireless ADSL Router User Guide
•
802.1x Support. Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the industrial-
strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization.
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.
WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup ) can simplify the process of connecting any
•
device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the Wireless Access Point, or ent ering PIN code if there's no button.
• WDS Support. Support for WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows the Wireless
Access Point to act as a Wireless Bridge. Bot h Po in t- to-Point and Multi-Point Bridge
modes are supported.
Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed
•
quickly and easily.
LAN Features
• 1-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless ADSL Router incorporates a 1-port 10/100BaseT
switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynam i c IP
•
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless ADSL Router can act as a
DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
Configuration & Management
• Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhe re on the LAN or WLAN for configu-
ration.
Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from
•
the Wireless ADSL Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration file to the Wireless ADSL Router.
•
Remote Management. The Wireless ADSL Router can be managed from any PC on
your LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if the Interne t connection exists, it can also (optionally)
be configured via the Internet.
Security Features
• Password - protected Configuration. Password protection is provided to prevent
unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
Wireless LAN Security. WPA-PSK, WEP and Wireless access control by MAC ad-
•
dress are all supported. The MAC-level access control feature can be used to prevent
unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.
NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation ) tech -
•
nology 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 - the Wire less ADSL Router.
Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are
•
filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from exte rnal sources.
Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can fl ood your
•
Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless
ADSL Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

Configuration Program
The Wireless ADSL Router contains an HTTP server. This enables you to connect to it, and
configure it, using your Web Browser. Your Browser must support JavaScript.
The configuration program has been tested on the following browsers:
• Netscape 7.1 or later.
• Mozilla 1.6 or later
• Internet Explorer V5.5 or later
Preparation
Before attempting to configure the Wir eles s ADS L Rou ter , pl ease ensure that:
• Your PC can establish a physical connection to the Wireless ADSL Router. The PC and
the Wireless ADSL Router must be directly connected (using the Hub ports on the Wireless ADSL Router) or on the same LAN segment.
• The Wireless ADSL Router must be installed and powered ON.
• If the Wireless ADSL Router's default IP Address (192.168.0.1) is already used by anot h-
er device, the other device must be turned OFF until the W ir eles s ADS L Rout er is
allocated a new IP Address during configuration.
Using your Web Browser
To establish a connection from your PC to the Wireless ADSL Router:
1. After installing the Wireless ADSL Router 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 the Wireless ADSL Router, as
in this example, which uses the Wireless ADSL Router's default IP Address:
HTTP://192.168.0.1
4. When prompted for the User name and Password, enter values as follows:
• User name admin
• Password password
12
Setup
If you can't connect
If the Wireless ADSL Router does not respond, check the following:
• The Wireless ADSL Router 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 192.168.0.1
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your
PC's IP address is not compatible with the Wireless ADSL Router's IP
Address. (See next item.)
• If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range
192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 to be compatible with the Wireless ADSL Rou-
ter's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask must be set to
255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on checking your
PC's TCP/IP settings.
• Ensure that your PC and the Wireless ADSL Router are on the same network
segment. (If you don't have a router, this m ust be the case.)
• Ensure you are using the wired LAN interface. The Wireless interface can only
be used if its configuration matches your PC's wireless settings.

Wireless ADSL Router User Guide
DHCP Server
• If Enabled, the Wireless ADSL Router will allocate IP Addresses
to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (and recommended) value is Enabled.
• If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the Wireless ADSL Router as the default Gateway. See the
following section for further details.
• The Start IP Address, Finish IP Address and Lease Time fields
set the values used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the number of
DHCP clients supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
DHCP
What DHCP Does
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a
DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request.
• The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).
• The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as
allocating an IP Address.
• The Wireless ADSL Router can act as a DHCP server.
• Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP client.
This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However, Windows
uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatica lly instead of "DHCP Client".
• You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your
LAN does not have other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on
your LAN.)
Using the Wireless ADSL Router's DHCP Server
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server setti ng s are on the LAN screen. On this screen,
you can:
• Enable or Disable the Wireless ADSL Router's DHCP Server function.
• Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices
while using DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses
are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server.
Using another DHCP Server
You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP
Server, rather than the Wireless ADSL Router's, the following procedure is required.
1.
• Disable the DHCP Server feature in the Wireless ADSL Router. This setting is on the
LAN screen.

2.
• Configure the DHCP Server to provide the Wireless ADSL Router's IP Address as the
Default Gateway.
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP for all non-Server versions of Windows.
See Chapter 4 - Client Configuration for the procedure to check these settin g s.
