Introduction

Your Sitecom router is an “all-in-one” unit, combining an ADSL2+ modem, router,
Ethernet network switch, and wireless access point providing everything you need to get
the machines on your network connected to the Internet over your ADSL2+ broadband
connection.

The Sitecom WL-118/119 complies with ADSL2+ standards for worldwide deployment
and supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 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.

The product supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 – PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) 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 ISP. The
product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

It is the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband
Internet connection. Multi-users can have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.

This product also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being
accessed by outside users. Not only provide the natural firewall function (Network
Address Translation, NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure user’s network.
All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered. Besides, it can also be configured
to block internal users from accessing to the Internet.

The product provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN users’ IP
addresses which are invisible to outside users on the Internet, making it much more
difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Secondly, it can block and
redirect certain ports to limit the services that outside users can access. For example, to
ensure that games and other Internet applications will run properly, user can open some
specific ports for outside users to access internal services in network.

Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) services, client and server, allow
multiple users to get their IP addresses automatically on boot up from the product.
Simply set local machines as a DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address
from DHCP server and reboot. Each time local machine is powered up; the router will
recognize it and assign an IP address to instantly connect it to the LAN.

For advanced users, Virtual Service function allows the product to provide limited
visibility to local machines with specific services for outside users. An ISP (Internet
Service Providers) provided IP address can be set to the product and then specific
services can be rerouted to specific computers on the local network. For instance, a
dedicated web server can be connected to the Internet via the product and then incoming
requests for HTML that are received by the product can be rerouted to the dedicated local
web server, even though the server now has a different IP address. In this example, the
product is on the Internet and vulnerable to attacks, but the server is protected.

Virtual Server can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, the
product can be set to allow separated FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game servers to share
the same Internet-visible IP address while still protecting the servers and LAN users from
hackers.

Features of the WL-118/119

• ADSL Multi-Mode Standard

supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps.
It also supports rate management that allows ADSL subscribers to select an
Internet access speed suiting their needs and budgets. It is compliant with Multi­Mode 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)). The Annex A and B are
supported in different H/W platforms.

• Wireless Ethernet 802.11g

With built-in 802.11g access point for extending the communication media to
WLAN while providing the WEP, WPA and WPA2 for securing your wireless
networks.

• Fast Ethernet Switch

A 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching between
MDI and MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports. An Ethernet straight or
cross-over cable can be used directly for auto detection.

• Multi-Protocol to Establish A Connection

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

Supports a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, end
users can enter the information easily which they get from their ISP, then surf
the Internet immediately.

• 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. With this feature enabled, users can now connect to Net
meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.

• Network Address Translation (NAT)

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, E­mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.

• Firewall

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

Provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for users such as
www.yahoo.com) 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. For example, to use

the service, you must first apply for an account from a DDNS service like
http://www.dyndns.org/.

• 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. For example, user can assign a PC in LAN acting as WEB server inside
and expose it to the outside network. Outside user can browse inside web server
directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local
computer exposed to the outside network, Internet.

• 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. It provides an easy way to
manage the local IP network.

• RIP1/2 Routing

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

Supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly
and comes with on-line help. It also supports remote management capability for
remote users to configure and manage this product.

• Firmware Upgradeable

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

• Rich management interfaces

Supports flexible management interfaces with local console port, LAN port, and
WAN port. Users can use terminal applications through the console port to
configure and manage the device, or Telnet, WEB GUI, and SNMP through LAN or
WAN ports to configure and manage the device.

Chapter 1 – Basic 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/NT/2000/XP/Me,
MAC, Linux, etc. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for
configuration.

1.1 Before Configuration

PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router
either directly or through an external repeater hub, and 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 192.168.0.1
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 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254). 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
also be advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewalls or virus scanners on your
PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 192.168.0.1 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,
