3 | Functions and Features

Broadband Modem and NAT Router

Connects multiple computers to a broadband (cable or DSL) modem, and/or Ethernet router to access the Internet.

10/100 Mbps Ethernet Interface

Auto-sensing Ethernet Switch WAN type supported

Firewall

DHCP Server Supported

Web-based Configuration

Network Filter Supported

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Supported

Virtual Server Supported

User Defined Application Sensing Tunnel

Provides a 10/100 Base-TX interface to connect to a DSL or cable modem for broadband Internet access.

Equipped with a 4-port auto-sensing Ethernet switch.

The router supports some WAN types, Static, Dynamic, PPPOE, PPTP, and Dynamic IP with Road Runner. All unwanted packets from outside sources are blocked to protect your intranet.

All networked computers can retrieve TCP/IP settings automatically from this device.

Configurable by any networked computer’s Web browser using Netscape or Internet Explorer.

The Packet Filter lets you control access to a network by analyzing the incoming and outgoing packets; this lets you either pass or halt the packets based on the IP address or the source and destination.

Enables devices such as PCs, routers and printers to be plugged into a network and ensure automatic recognition.

Lets you make your Website, FTP site, and other services on your LAN accessible to Internet users.

Lets you define the attributes to support special applications that require multiple connections like Internet gaming, video conferencing, Internet telephony, and so on. This device can sense the application type and opens a multi-port tunnel for it.

DMZ Host Supported

SNMP Supported

System Time Supported

Virtual Computers Supported

URL Blocking Supported

Schedule Rule Routing Table Supported

Enables a computer to be fully accessible to the Internet. This function is used when the special application sensing tunnel feature is insufficient to allow an application to function correctly.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol that lets users remotely manage a computer network by polling and setting terminal values, and monitoring network events.

Lets you synchronize system time with the network time server.

The virtual computer lets you use the original NAT feature, which lets you setup the one-to-one mapping of multiple global and local IP addresses.

Lets you block hundreds of Website connections by simply entering a keyword.

Lets you set a time schedule for different services.

Allows you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP data grams. If you have more than one router and subnet, enable the routing table to allow packets to find the proper routing path and the different subnets to communicate with each other.

5 | Hardware Installation

The router can be placed anywhere in your office or home. No special wiring or cooling requirements are necessary. However, you should comply with the following guidelines:

• Place your router on a flat, horizontal surface

• Be sure to place your router away from any heating devices

• Avoid dusty and/or humid areas

1) Setup LAN Connection: Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer’s Ethernet port to one of

the LAN ports of the router.

2) Setup WAN Connection: Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the WAN port on the back

panel of your router, and the other end to the cable/DSL modem. You may connect an analog modem (optional) to function as a backup connection.

3) Power Up: The router automatically enters the self-testing phase once the power cord is plugged

into a wall outlet. When in self-testing phase, the M1 indicator LED illuminates for about five seconds to indicate proper connection. The M1 LED flashes twice as soon as the self-testing phase is completed. After the completion of the self-testing phase, the M1 LED should flash once per second to indicate that the router is functioning properly.

Windows 95/98/Me

1. Click Start/Run.

2. Type WINIPCFG and click OK.

3. From the drop-down menu, select your network card. Click Release and then Renew.

Verify that your IP address is now 192.168.2.xxx, your Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and your Default Gateway is 192.168. 2.1. These values confirm that the Router is functioning. Click OK to close the IP Configuration window

Windows 2000/XP

1. On the Windows desktop, click Start/Programs/Command Prompt.

2. In the Command Prompt window, type IPCONFIG /RELEASE and press the <ENTER> key.

3. Type IPCONFIG /RENEW and press the <ENTER> key. Verify that your IP Address is now

192.168.2.xxx, your Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and your Default Gateway is

192.168.2.254. These values confirm that the Router is functioning

4. Type EXIT and press <ENTER> to close the Command Prompt window.

6.4 | Configuring a Macintosh Computer

You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your screen. This is because these steps and screen shots were created using Mac OS 10.2. Mac OS 7.x and above are all very similar, but may not be identical to Mac OS 10.2.

1. Pull down the Apple Menu. Click System Preferences and select Network.

2. Make sure that Built-in Ethernet is selected in the Show field.

3. On the TCP/IP tab, select Using DHCP in the Configure field.

4. Close the TCP/IP dialog box.

6.5 | Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and configuring an IP address in the same network as the Router, use the ping command to check if your computer has successfully connected to the Router. The following example shows how the ping procedure can be executed in an MS-DOS window. First, execute the ping command:

Ping 192.168.2.1

If a message similar to the following appears:

Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64

…a communication link between your computer and the Router has been successfully established.

If you get the following message:

Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out.

…there may be something wrong in your installation procedure.

Check the following items in sequence:

1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the Router and the computer? The LAN LED

on the Router and the Link LED of the network card on your computer must be on.

2. Is TCP/IP properly configured on your computer? If the IP address of the Router is 192.168.2.1,

the IP address of your PC must be from 192.168.2.2 - 254 and the default gateway must be

192.168.2.1. If you can successfully ping the Router you are now ready to connect to the Internet!
