ongratulations on the purchase of your new Error!
Reference source not found. Internet Access device
The Error! Reference source not found. will allow
multiple SOHO (Small Office Home Office) users to share
Internet user accounts. It provides a low-cost method of giving
users of your network access to the vast resources available on
the Internet. Once the Error! Reference source not found. is
installed and configured, the Internet is just a click away.
Figure 1: Office to Internet
Error! Reference source not found.
Features
Once configured, the Error! Reference source not found. is
able to use your modem(s) to connect to your ISP (Internet
Service Provider). The Error! Reference source not found.
will provide the log-in information required by the ISP. You
C

can seamlessly connect to the Internet as if you had a permanent connection. This sophisticated, yet easy-to-use device
incorporates the following features.
• Dial-On-Demand. A connection is established to the
Internet as required.
• User-Configurable Bandwidth Utilization. When
using multiple modems or ISDN TAs, users can choose between “Time Saving Mode” (use all bandwidth) or
“Money Saving Mode” (maximize bandwidth utilization).
• Inactivity Time Out. The modem will be disconnected if
no line activity is detected. The time-out period ("Idle
Time") is user-adjustable.
• PPP Authentication. This is used to validate the log-on
to your Internet Service Provider.
• DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other
devices upon request.
The Error! Reference source not found. can act as a
DHCP Server.
• Easy Setup. Either a communications program and direct
cable connection; or a WEB browser, can be used.
• Configuration Security Features. Optional password
protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from
modifying the configuration.
• Hassle-free LAN Installation. An auto-sensing LAN
connection eliminates the need for configuration during
installation in a 10Base2/10BaseT network.
• Multi Segment LAN Support. If you have a Router,
PCs on other LAN segments can use the Error! Refer-
ence source not found. to access the Internet.
Page 11
Introduction

• Remote Management. The Error! Reference source
not found. can be managed from a workstation anywhere
on the LAN, using a WEB browser.
• E-Mail Gateway. The Error! Reference source not
found. can act as a Gateway for incoming E-Mail, allow-
ing LAN users to share E-Mail accounts. Up to 4 accounts
and 50 users are supported.
• Firewall Protection. All incoming data packets are
monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered,
thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from
external sources.
Firewall Protection
The firewall protection provided by the Error! Reference
source not found. is an intrinsic side effect of IP sharing.
All users on the LAN share a single external IP address.
From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a
single device.
For internal users, the Error! Reference source not found.
acts as a “transparent proxy server”, translating the multiple
internal IP addresses into a single external IP address.
For external requests, any attempt to connect to local resources are blocked. The Error! Reference source not
found. will not “reverse translate” from a global IP address
to a local IP address.
This type of “natural” firewall provides an impregnable
barrier against malicious attacks.

2 Installation
Requirements
• Ethernet Network employing 10BaseT or 10Base2 cable
and the TCP/IP protocol.
• An external modem or ISDN TA (Terminal Adapter).
• Configuration serial cable for Terminal mode configura-
tion (supplied).
• Single user account with a local ISP.
Procedure
The installation choices are as follows.
Configure, then Install
Configuration is done using a serial cable connection and a
VT100 terminal compatible program, before installation. The
only advantage of this method is that you can change the
default IP Address (192.168.0.1) before connection to your
LAN.
Install, then Configure
Here, you connect the Error! Reference source not found. to
your network and then configure it using your WEB Browser.
If the default IP Address (192.168.0.1) is already used by
another device, the other device must be turned OFF until the
Page 18
Error! Reference source not found. User Guide
10
Error! Reference source not found. is allocated a new IP
Address during configuration.
LAN Installation
Installing your new Error! Reference source not found. in
your existing Ethernet LAN is quick and easy. Simply follow
the instructions below:
1. Choose an Installation Site
Select a place on the network to install the Error! Reference source not found.. Remember that you need phone
jacks and power outlets near your chosen location.
2. Connect Network Cable
The Error! Reference source not found. supports two
types of network cables: Thin Ethernet (10Base2, BNC
connector) and Twisted Pair Ethernet (10BaseT, RJ-45
connector). During power up, the unit automatically detects the type of network cable and adjusts to that
environment.
10Base2 Cabling:
If your network uses 10Base2 cable, insert a BNC “T”
connector into the Error! Reference source not found.’s
BNC port. Connect the cable to one end of the “T”
connector and connect the outgoing cable to the other end.
If the Error! Reference source not found. is at the end of
the network, then cap off the other end of “T” connector
with a 50-ohm terminator. Also, keep in mind that the
maximum effective length between the ends of a 10Base2
network is 185 meters.
Page 19
Installation
11
10BaseT Cabling:
If your network uses 10BaseT cable, insert one end into
the Error! Reference source not found.’s RJ-45 jack and
the other end into the 10BaseT hub. Keep in mind that the
maximum effective length from the hub to the device is
100 meters.
Warning: Do not attempt to connect more than
one type of cable at the same time or
change the network cable while the
Error! Reference source not found. is
powered On.
3. Connect Modem & Phone Line
Connect the modem, using a standard serial cable, to the
Error! Reference source not found.’s serial port. Next,
connect a telephone line from an RJ-11 style phone jack to
the modem.
4. Connect Power Adapter
Connect the modem’s power adapter to the modem and the
Error! Reference source not found.’s power adapter to
the Error! Reference source not found.. Power both devices On.
Only use the power adapter provided
with your unit. Using a different one
may cause hardware damage.
5. Check the LEDs
When the Error! Reference source not found. is powered On, both LEDs should light, then the Error LED
should go off. If the Error LED stays on, there is a hard-

5 Operation
IP Address Configuration
Once the Error! Reference source not found. has been
configured and installed in your network, it is ready for use.
However, the PCs on your network must be configured correctly. If you have a router, it also needs to be configured
correctly.
PC Address Configuration
The following TCP/IP settings should be checked.
• IP Address
• Default Gateway Address
• DNS (Domain Name Server) Address
The correct settings will depend upon whether or not you have
enabled the DHCP server in the Error! Reference source not
found..
If DHCP is Enabled
IP Address
If the DHCP function in the Error! Reference source not
found. is enabled, then your PCs should be set to obtain an
IP address automatically. In Windows 95, this is done by
setting the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol. This proce-
Page 52

Default Gateway Address
This should be left blank. The DHCP server will provide
this information.
DNS (Domain Name Server)
This should be “Enabled” but the fields can be left blank.
The DHCP server will provide this information also.
If DHCP is Disabled
IP Address
Each workstation must have a unique IP address. There
should be no need to change any existing addresses.
Default Gateway Address
This value will depend on whether or not you have a router
installed on your LAN.
Page 54
Error! Reference source not found. User Guide
46
NO Router
Set the Default Gateway Address to the IP address (Device
IP Address) assigned to the Error! Reference source not
found. during configuration.
Router
Leave this at the current setting (the address of the router).
DNS (Domain Name Server)
Enter the DNS address provided or recommended by your
ISP. This is the same value that was entered into the DNS
IP Address field in the Error! Reference source not
found. during configuration.
Router Address Configuration
If you have a router, you must enter the IP Address (Device IP
Address) of the Error! Reference source not found. as the
Default Gateway in the router. Check the documentation for
your router to see how this is done.
If your LAN contains multiple routers, ask your LAN adminis-
trator to perform the necessary router configuration.
It is essential that the router pass all IP packets for devices not
on the local LAN to the Error! Reference source not found.,
so that they can be forwarded to the Internet.

• Note that outgoing E-mail is sent normally; only incoming
E-mail is processed by the Error! Reference source not
found..
• If you find that some of your incoming E-mail does not
include your name, and is therefore considered "Unrouted
Mail", ask those senders to record your E-Mail Address in
the following format.
"user_id"<mail_account@mail_address>
• Your printed E-Mail Address (e.g. on your business card)
should also show your E-Mail address in the format above.

A Troubleshooting
This chapter covers some common problems that may be
encountered while using the Error! Reference source not
found. and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the
suggested steps and the Error! Reference source not found.
still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further
advice.
Problem 1: I configured and installed the Error! Refer-
ence source not found. in the network, but I
can’t get it to respond.
Solution 1:
If the configuration settings are correct, then
you probably forgot to set the dip switches back
to their Off positions after configuration. Power
Off the Error! Reference source not found.
and ensure that the dip switches are in their Off
positions.
Problem 2:
When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time
out error.
Solution 2:
Any number of things could be causing this.
Try the following troubleshooting steps.
1. If this is first time you have used your
browser, ensure that your workstations IP
settings are correct, including IP address,
default gateway and DNS.
2. Ping the Error! Reference source not

found.. Use the “Run” command to enter
the following command:
Ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address assigned to the Error! Reference source not
found.’s LAN interface.
3. If the ping command fails, check that the
Error! Reference source not found. is
connected and ON. If it is connected and
on, there is a problem with your LAN.
4. Check that the Port is "Enabled" (Advanced Port Settings). If it is not, you need
to use the HTML program to establish a
connection.
5. Run your Browser and connect to the
Error! Reference source not found..
Switch to the “Status” screen, and examine
the Log. Details of the Log messages, and
the possible causes of any errors, are shown
in Appendix B - Log Messages.
Problem 3:
My Modem/ISDN TA is working fine with a
direct connection. How do I find what "Initial
String" it is using?
Solution 3:
Use the procedure described in Finding the
current Initial String on page 60.
Problem 4:
Data Transmissions are very slow.
Solution 4:
Check and ensure that the Initial String is

configured to RTS/CTS flow control.
Problem 5:
Some applications do not run properly when
using the Error! Reference source not found..
Solution 5: The Error! Reference source not found.
processes the data passing through it, so it is not
transparent. Some programs may have limited
functionality when used with the Error! Refer-
ence source not found..

Note: Modem-to-modem data link speed.
Multi-port models requires this information for the
Bandwidth Utilization feature (in the Advanced
menu options) to function correctly. For some
Mircocom and other modems, the “ATX4” command above is not sufficient, and a non-standard
“W2” command (no “AT”) must be used as well.
Page 69
C - AT Command Set
61
For a modem which uses the standard AT commands shown
above, the Initial String would look like the following:
AT&F&B1&K3&C1&D2&S0X4
The first command (AT&F) sets the modem to the factory
defaults, to ensure a consistent starting point.
This command string (AT&F) is also the default value. It will
work if the modem’s factory defaults match the required
settings.

D Script files
This section describes the script file commands and syntax to
be used when creating script files.
Script files are only required if your ISP does not use a standard PPP connection and authentication.
Commands
Three commands can be used to automate a proprietary negotiation process. The commands are as follows:
Send
Send [msec] <string>
Send a data string, with a. [msec] (milliseconds)
delay between the sending of each character.
Wait
Wait [msec]
Wait for the specified time (milliseconds) to
elapse before executing the next script line.
Wait
Wait [msec] <string>
Wait for the specified time (milliseconds) to
receive the string. If the string is not received
within the specified time, the connection is
reset. An error conditions arises if [msec] is not
specified and the string is not received immediately.
Page 79
D - Script Files
71
Variables
Eleven special string variables can be used in conjunction with
the command strings discussed above. The following string
variables are supported:
Variable Description
\a alert
\b backspace
\f form feed
\n new line
\r carriage return
\t horizontal tab
\v vertical tab
\? Literal question mark
\’ literal single quotation mark
\” literal double quotation mark
\\ literal back slash
Note: The strings and special control variables need to
be enclosed in double quotes. Literal variables
are used when ?, ‘, “, or \ are part of the string.
For example, to send the string “User Name”, the
script file entry should be “\”User Name\””. Also,
each script entry command, time and string, must
be separated by a space.
