Congratulations on your purchase of the IEEE 802.11g ADSL Router,
hereafter referred to as the “ADSL Router”. We are proud to provide you
with a powerful yet simple communication device for connecting your
local area network (LAN) to the Internet. For those who want to surf the
Internet in the most secure way, this router provides a convenient and
powerful solution.
About the ADSL Router
The ADSL Router provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a
single-user account. Support is provided for both wired and wireless
devices. New technology provides wireless security via Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) encryption and MAC address filtering. It is simple to
configure and can be up and running in minutes.
1
Features and Benefits
• Internet connection to an ADSL modem via an RJ-11 ADSL port
• Local network connection via four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports
• On-board IEEE 802.11g wireless network adapter
• DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name
mapping
1-1
Page 8
I
NTRODUCTION
• Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion
detection, and NAT
• NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account,
and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet
services such as web, FTP, email, and Telnet)
• VPN pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP)
• User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications
requiring multiple connections
• Easy setup through a web browser on any operating system that
supports TCP/IP
• Compatible with all popular Internet applications
Applications
Many advanced networking features are provided by the ADSL Router:
• Wireless and Wired LAN
The ADSL Router provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices,
and wireless IEEE 802.11g compatible devices, making it easy to
create a network in small offices or homes.
• Internet Access
This device supports Internet access through an ADSL connection.
Since many DSL providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to establish
communications with end users, the ADSL Router includes built-in
clients for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these
services on your computer.
1-2

PPLICATIONS
• Shared IP Address
The ADSL Router provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a
single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users
on your network can browse the web at the same time.
• Virtual Server
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the ADSL Router to act as
a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access
various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then,
depending on the requested service (or port number), the ADSL
Router can route the request to the appropriate server (at another
internal IP address). This secures your network from direct attack by
hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to
change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your
network.
• DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet.
This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an
Internet application from functioning correctly.
•Security
The ADSL Router supports security features that deny Internet access
to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services that the
administrator does not want to serve. The ADSL Router’s firewall also
blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack,
Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port
loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy), SSID, and MAC filtering provide security
over the wireless network.

Virtual Server
If you configure the ADSL Router as a virtual server, remote users
accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP
addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with
private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service
(TCP/UDP port number), the ADSL Router redirects the external service
request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).
For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and
the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from
outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by
just entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access
the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them.

number of active sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent
certain types of network attacks.
Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called
Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and
networks with a connection to the Internet. Their goal is not to steal
information, but to disable a device or network so users no longer have
access to network resources.
The
ADSL Router firewall function protects against the following DoS
attacks: IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length,
Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP
SYN flooding. (See page 4-45 for details.)
The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise
leaving it enabled to protect your network. Select Enable and click the
“
SAVE SETTINGS
” button to open the Firewall submenus.

Intrusion Detection
• Intrusion Detection Feature
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Anti-DoS firewall protection
(Default: Enabled) — The Intrusion Detection Feature of the
ADSL Router
limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI feature
is turned on, all incoming packets will be blocked except for those types
marked in the Stateful Packet Inspection section.
RIP Defect (Default: Disabled) — If an RIP request packet is not
acknowledged to by the router, it will stay in the input queue and not be
released. Accumulated packets could cause the input queue to fill, causing
severe problems for all protocols. Enabling this feature prevents the
packets from accumulating.
Discard Ping to WAN (Default: Disabled) — Prevent a ping on the

• Stateful Packet Inspection
This is called a “stateful” packet inspection because it examines the
contents of the packet to determine the state of the communications; i.e., it
ensures that the stated destination computer has previously requested the
current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all communications
are initiated by the recipient computer and are taking place only with
sources that are known and trusted from previous interactions. In addition
to being more rigorous in their inspection of packets, stateful inspection
firewalls also close off ports until connection to the specific port is
requested.
When particular types of traffic are checked, only the particular type of
traffic initiated from the internal LAN will be allowed. For example, if the
user only checks “FTP Service” in the Stateful Packet Inspection section,
all incoming traffic will be blocked except for FTP connections initiated
from the local LAN.
Stateful Packet Inspection allows you to select different application types
that are using dynamic port numbers. If you wish to use the Stateful Packet
Inspection (SPI) to block packets, click on the Yes radio button in the
“Enable SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection” field and then check the
inspection type that you need, such as Packet Fragmentation, TCP
Connection, UDP Session, FTP Service, H.323 Service, or TFTP Service.

There are two latency paths that may be used: fast and
interleaved. For either path, a forward error correction (FEC)
scheme is employed to ensure higher data integrity. For
maximum noise immunity, an interleaver may be used to
supplement FEC.
An interleaver is basically a buffer used to introduce a delay,
allowing for additional error correction techniques to handle
noise. Interleaving slows the data flow and may not be
optimal for real-time signals such as video transmission.

addresses to hosts on the attached LAN. However, if
you manually configure IP addresses on the LAN,
verify that the same network address (network
component of the IP address) and subnet mask are
used for both the ADSL Router and any attached
