Chapter 1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing ZSR0104C SERIES Broadband Switch Router. This chapter covers a brief description of ZSR0104C SERIES features, package content, installation requirements, and the organization overview of this User’s Manual.

1.1 The ZSR0104C SERIES Broadband Switch Router

ZSR0104C SERIES Broadband Switch Router is the ideal router for sharing a single IP address with multiple users, providing firewall security, and accessing WAN with high speed for Home and SOHO (Small Office and Home Office) needs. ZSR0104C SERIES Broadband Switch Router offers its simple operation such as easy setup. It also provides networking professionals with advanced features like DMZ and Virtual Server (Port Forwarding), Service Filtering, URL Filtering, and Dynamic DNS etc. ZSR0104C SERIES will help you securely connect multiple PCs to the Internet via broadband Cable modem or xDSL box and become your best partner for your network solution.

1.2 Physical Features of ZSR0104C SERIES

‧ Auto-Sensing Ethernet Switch

ZSR0104C SERIES is equipped with a 4-port switch featuring auto-detect 10/100Mbps and auto-crossover. You can use either a Straight-Through or a Crossover cable to connect your

client PC to the LAN port of ZSR0104C SERIES.

‧ 10 / 100 Mbps Ethernet WAN

The 10 / 100 Mbps Ethernet WAN port is connected to the Internet via a Cable modem or xDSL box or PPTP.

‧ Reload Button

You can use the hardware Reload button to restore the factory default settings into ZSR0104C SERIES.

1.3 Non-Physical Features of ZSR0104C SERIES

‧ Network Address Translation (NAT)/Broadband Switch

ZSR0104C SERIES can translate the source IP address of a LAN client to the IP address of a WAN client before forwarding a packet from the LAN to the WAN. When the packet returns, NAT translates the destination address from a WAN client to the address of a LAN client before forwarding the packet back to the LAN client. When only one WAN IP address is available, NAT can translate the only WAN IP address into multiple LAN IP addresses for the

Page 1

LAN clients. Therefore the LAN clients “share” the only one WAN IP address, and it is called Broadband Switch.

‧ Firewall

ZSR0104C SERIES provides prevents Ping and TCP/UDP Echo Attack, Hacker’s Scan, and

Denial of Service (DoS). Also it offers Service Filter and URL Filter (by Keyword).

‧ Dynamic DNS Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) allows you to register and obtain a fixed domain name

from DDNS service providers that ZSR0104C SERIES supports. When your ZSR0104C SERIES obtains a dynamic public IP address, your ZSR0104C SERIES will inform the DDNS service provider an updated IP address. Any a connection toward your domain name will be mapped to the updated IP address by your DDNS service provider. You can be found easily by connecting to your fixe d domain name.

‧ Virtual Server (Port Forwarding)

ZSR0104C SERIES can forward the service packet specified with a port number to the LAN host specified by the LAN IP address. In other words, ZSR0104C SERIES can open the port for the service with specified port number and then “forward” the port to a LAN host. Thus it is called Port Forwarding, too.

‧ VPN Pass-Through

In a Virtual Private Network, ZSR0104C SERIES supports the tunneling of Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) packet and allows it to enter the LAN that is the endpoint of the VPN.

‧ Special Application

Certain Internet applications use multiple ports, port ranges, dynamically assigned ports, and special protocols. ZSR0104C SERIES supports the transparent pass-through of these special applications, including FTP, ICMP, NetMeeting / H.323, Real Radio, Quick Time, MSN Messenger, etc. and many popular Internet Games.

‧ Public DMZ Host

Public DMZ Host is a device with a public IP address on the LAN side. ZSR0104C SERIES provides the tunnel service for data traffic between the Public DMZ Host and the Internet.

‧ Local DMZ Host

Local DMZ Host is a device with the private IP address on the LAN side. ZSR0104C SERIES can forward the traffic initiated from the Internet to the Local DMZ Host.

‧ DHCP Client

ZSR0104C SERIES can work as DHCP client and obtain an IP address automatically from the Internet Service Provider or a DHCP server on the WAN side.

• DHCP Server

As DHCP server, ZSR0104C SERIES can automatically assign TCP/IP settings to each client

PC on the LAN side and remember each client’s IP address corresponding to the client’s MAC address. When ZSR0104C SERIES assigns TCP/IP settings in the next time, the LAN

Page

client will receive the same LAN IP address.

‧ Remote Management ZSR0104C SERIES can be configured and managed from the WAN side via a specific port.

‧ MAC Clone ZSR0104C SERIES allows users to specify the MAC address of the Network Interface Card if

Internet Service Provider has the requirement.

‧ Web-Based Setup ZSR0104C SERIES can be managed through the Web browser in a LAN client PC connected

to ZSR0104C SERIES or the Internet.

‧ Web-Based Firmware Update

ZSR0104C SERIES firmware can be updated easily via the Web Configuration Tool.

‧ Reload

ZSR0104C SERIES can restore the factory default settings via the Web Configuration Tool.
