Introduction
This chapter describes the package contents and provides a list of features and
application illustrations of the ADSL Wireless Router.
1.1 About the ADSL Wireless Router
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) refers to a technology used to increase the data capacity
of standard twisted-pair wires that are generally used to connect most households to
the phone network. In addition, this technology allows simultaneous voice and
high-speed data transmission over a single pair of telephone wires.
There are several kinds of DSL services, each with its own compromises between
speed, distance, cost, and reliability. These services are either symmetrical (data
flows at the same speed in both directions), or asymmetrical (the downstream
capacity is higher than the upstream capacity).
ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), as its name indicates, is an asymmetrical
data transmission technology which provides high-speed data transfer over existing
telephone or ISDN lines by making good use of the previously unused high-frequency
band-width. ADSL provides much higher downstream speed than upstream speed. It
is much popular as ordinary users download much more data than what they upload.
ADSL provides a dedicated secure communication between you and the ISP (Internet
Service Provider) and the connection is high-speed and always-on.
Ethernet / Fast Ethernet / USB
Ethernet is the most widely-used network access method, especially in a Local Area
Network (LAN) and is defined by the IEEE 802.3 standard. Normally, Ethernet is a
shared media LAN. All stations on the segment share the total bandwidth, which could
be 10Mbps (Ethernet), 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet), or 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).
With a switched Ethernet, each sender and receiver has the full bandwidth.
Fast Ethernet is defined as IEEE 802.3u standard, a high-speed version of Ethernet
with 100Mbps transmission rate.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a data communication standard which allows the
PC/desktop to detect new devices such as printers, joysticks, keyboards, mice,
adapters, storage devices, audio devices, digital cameras and things with this
technology. The advantage of USB is to replace different types of serial and parallel
port connectors with one standardized plug and port combination with the data
transfer rate up to 12Mbps. Also low-power devices can draw power from USB and
don’t require an extra adapter. Before you use this connector, you may need to install
the USB driver first.
Wireless LAN
Wireless Local Area Network systems (WLANs) transmit and receive data over the air
by using radio frequency (RF). This offers some advantages like mobility, ease of
installation, and scalability over traditional wired systems.

1 Introduction
Mobility: WLANs combine data connectivity with user mobility. This provides users
with access to network anywhere in their organization. For example, users can roam
from a conference room to their office without being disconnected from the LAN. This
is impossible with wired networks.
Ease of Installation: Eliminating the need to deploy network cables in walls and
ceilings, Installing WLANs is easy for novice and expert users alike.
Scalability: WLAN topologies are easy to change in various ways from peer-to-peer
networks for a small group of users to full infrastructure networks for hundreds of
users roaming over a broad area.
Wireless LAN is suitable for difficult-to-wire and frequently changing environments. It’s
also an ideal solution for mobile workers to access network resource and for setting a
temporary LAN when necessary
Wireless LANs can be set as “Ad-hoc” network and “Infrastructure” network. Unlike
the “Ad-hoc network”, where users on the LAN send data directly to each other, the
“Infrastructure” network includes an access point and users on the “Infrastructure”
network send data to that dedicated access point. ADSL Wireless Router uses
“Infrastructure” network as Wireless LANs. Each wireless LAN PC within the range of
the access point can communicate with other wireless LAN PCs within the range.
Firewall
DoS is an abbreviation for Denial of Service. This occurs when a computer or network
is overwhelmed to the point that it can no longer function normally. For example, a
hacker may use fake IP addresses to accumulate numbers connections in orders to
flood the server he wants to attack. The way TCP works is that a SYN packet is sent to
the server from the client. After the server receives the SYN packet, a SYN-ACK is
sent back to client. The server will then wait for the reply from the SYN-ACK. If the
hacker sent hundreds or thousands of SYN packets to the server with bogus IP
addresses, the server allocates computer and memory resources to establishing a
connection since the server does not know a legitimate SYN message from a bogus
message. By flooding the server with a large volume of requests, the server’s
maximum capacity can be used by these bogus and useless connection attempts
SPI is an acronym for Stateful Packet Inspection. The SPI engine examines not just
the headers of the packet, but also the packet content. It can then determine more
about the packet than just its source and destination information. Moreover, stateful
inspection firewalls also close off ports until a connection to the specific port is
requested.

DHCP or Static, IPoA, PPPoE, and PPPoA are different connection modes that use
different protocols to make the initial session between your ADSL Wireless Router and
t he ISP’s equipment.
The connection type you need to choose is dependent upon the settings
assigned by your ISP. It varies with ISPs as well as the service you applied for. If you
are not sure which connection type you should use, contact your ISP to obtain the
correct information.
3. DHCP or Static mode
The DHCP connection type is the default setting of this ADSL Wireless Router. Leave
this setting on the column according to the following conditions: Your ISP uses DHCP
to assign IP address when you connect to your ISP.
Some ISP might distribute unique IP address for you to access the internet. In this way,
you have to enter the IP address, subnet mask, Gateway and DNS provided by the
ISP.

3.4.2 DDNS Setup
“DDNS” is an acronym for Dynamic Domain Name Service. Whenever you set up
web servers, mail servers, or sometimes ftp servers, you need “Domain Name” to
help Internet users reach your servers easily.
Internet actually runs on IP Addresses which are in numerical order, for example
“66.37.215.53”. These IP addresses identify the location of each device connected to
Internet. However, the human brain cannot easily remember this numbering system,
address bar, the browser will show the same web page. This is because both input
relate to the same web server. The “Domain Name Server” used to manage the
allow your browser to find the web server and display the correct web page in your
browser.
If your “WAN Connection Type” is “PPPoE” with dynamic IP address assigned by the
ISP, it will cause an error when you set up the public computer servers in your LAN
side PCs. Internet users may not be able to reach your servers because your WAN
side IP address may change each time you initiate the connection to your ISP. The
DDNS function will help to map your IP address to your domain name when your ISP
assigns a new dynamic IP Address.
Note that this DDNS function acts as the client appliance of DDNS service and is only
able to be used in conjunction with the service provided by DynDNS.org. Before you
begin using this function, you will need to apply to DynDNS.org to be able to use the

Dynamic Routing enables the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in
the network’s layout and exchange routing tables with other routers. The Router
determines the network packets’ route based on the number of hops between the
source and destination.
To set up a static route between the Router and another network, select a number
from the Static Routing drop-down list. (A static route is a pre-determined pathway that
network information must travel to reach a specific host or network.) Enter the
following data:

The Static Routing feature allows PCs that are connected to the Wireless Security
Router, either directly or through a hub/switch (in the immediate LAN), to
communicate with other PCs in the respective LAN segment which are connected to
the Wireless Security Router through another router (destination LAN). Up to 20 route
entries may be input into the Wireless Security Router. The diagram below gives an
example of the physical connections required to use Static Routing.
In the above diagram, PC2 in LAN#2 is connected to the Wireless Security Router via
another router while PC1 in LAN#1 is connected to the Wireless Security Router
directly. Without configuring the Static Routing function, the two PCs would not be able
to communicate with each other.

an encryption mechanism used to protect your
3 Internet Access
wireless data communications. WEP uses a
combination of 64-bit/128-bit keys to encrypt data that
is transmitted between all points in a wireless network
to insure data security. To code/decode the data
transmission, all points must use the identical key. To
make the WEP encryption active or inactive, select

encryption keys will be created automatically. Note
that only one 128-bit key will be generated in 128-bit
encryption mode.
Manually You may need to enter the WEP key
manually in case to join the existing wireless network.
However, if not, the Pass phrase method is
recommended. If you are not sure which way to use,
check with your network administrator.
Default Transmit Key Select one of the four keys to be
the encryption key you are going to use in the wireless
network. Make sure that all the points in a same
wireless network have the same encryption key.

Web Filter:
This feature provides options allowing you to filter any
potential risk contained in some web technologies by
individually checking “Allow” or “Deny”.
Web proxy is a server your device will connect to when you
access any web site. Setting web proxy can speed up
access time but also can create other potential security
issues. For example, if you configure the Wireless Security
Router to block access to 216.115.102.76, which is the IP
PC will connect to web proxy server instead of connecting to
Yahoo’s IP address.
Java & Active X are programming languages for web page.
However, some potentially harmful Trojan programs and
viruses are also written in these languages. If you deny
access to either of these, you may run the risk of not having
access to certain web pages.
A cookie is a small piece of data (usually in the form of a text
file), which is stored on your PC when you visit certain web
sites. This allows the server to identify your machine at a
future date. The cookie normally contains an ID number but
can also contain other information.
Block

3.10 Services
3.10.1 Virtual Server
The Virtual Server Settings application allows you to set up more than ten public
services that can be accessed by external users of the Internet, such as a Web, Email,
FTP etc. Each service is provided by a dedicated network computer (server)
configured with a fixed IP Address. Although the internal service addresses are not
directly accessible to the external user, the Wireless Security Router is able to identify
the service requested by the service port number and redirects the request to the
appropriate internal IP Address/server. To use this application, it is recommended you
use a fixed Public IP Address from your ISP. Note that your Wireless Security Router
supports only one server for each particular type.

3.10.4 DMZ Host
The DMZ Host application allows unrestricted 2-way communication between a single
LAN PC and other Internet users or servers. This application is useful for supporting
special-purpose services such as video-conferencing and gaming that require
proprietary client software and/or 2-way user communication.
To use this application, you must first obtain a fixed Public IP Address from your ISP.
Note that in order to provide unrestricted access, the Firewall provided by the Wireless
Security Router to protect this port is disabled, thus creating a potentially serious
security risk.
It is recommended that this application is disabled when it is not in use by entering “0”
in the “DMZ Host” field.
The Multi DMZ allows you to map the public IP addresses to your LAN PCs, should
you get more than one public IP address from your ISP. This function is useful to set
up your servers, such as an FTP server, web server, and so on, with public IP
addresses, but still keep them within your LAN group.
With the public IP addresses, Internet users will access your servers more easily and

menu and follow the instruction as above.
6 Troubleshooting
Ensure that your PC and the ADSL Wireless Router are on the same network
segment. If you are not sure, initiate the DHCP function and set you PC to obtain an IP
address automatically.
Ensure that your PC is using an IP Address within the range 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.254 and thus compatible with the ADSL Wireless Router default IP address
of 192.168.1.1
Finally, use the Ping command in MS-DOS mode to verify the network connection:
Ping 127.0.0.1 to check the TCP/IP stack of your computer
Ping gateway IP (Default: 192.168.1.1) to check the internal link of network.
Note if you’re not able to view the web configuration screen for the ADSL Wireless
Router, make sure that you remove any proxy setting within your Internet browser, or
remove the dial-up settings within your browser.
Q: What can I do if I have forgotten the password for the ADSL Wireless

You have to reset the Wireless Security Router back to the factory default setting by
pushing the Reset button for longer than 5 seconds. Refer to the user’s manual to
re-configure the settings.
Q: I cannot access my ISP’s home page, why?
Some ISPs, such as @Home, require that their host name be specifically configured
into your computer before you can surf their local web pages. If you are unable to
access your ISP’s home page, enter your ISP’s Domain Name into the OnePage
Setup (3-3) to enable all computers in your LAN to have access to it. If you only want
to allow specific computers to access these home pages, open the TCP/IP Properties
window (2-4) on these computers, click the “DNS Configuration” tab and enter your
ISP’s Domain Name in the “Domain Name Search Suffix” location.
Client Side (Computers)
Q: I can’t browse the Internet via the ADSL Wireless Router

connection between the computer and the ADSL Wireless Router.
n Check if both ends of the network cable are properly connected.
n Check that TCP/IP is installed on your computer (2-4).
For Windows 95/98, use an MS-Dos prompt to run “winipcfg” (“Ipconfig” for Windows
NT). Check that the computer’s IP Address is within the range of 192.168.1.2 ~
192.168.1.254 and the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. If you are using a fixed IP
address, also check the Default Gateway IP Address and DNS address in “More”.
n Check that the values as stated above are the same in Status Monitor (4-7).
Q: I get a time out error when I enter a URL or IP address.
Check whether other computers work. If they do, ensure the computer’s IP settings
are correct (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP Address and DNS) (3-3). Then
check whether the ADSL Wireless Router’s settings are correct (3-3).

can support?
The ADSL Wireless Router can support up to 253 IP Addresses in the range of
192.168.1.2~192.168.1.254.
Q: Where should the ADSL Wireless Router be installed on the network?
In a typical environment, the ADSL Wireless Router should be installed between the
ADSL/Cable modem and your LAN. Connect the ADSL Wireless Router to the
Ethernet port of the ADSL/Cable modem, and connect your PCs to the RJ45 jack on
the LAN side.
Q: Does the ADSL Wireless Router support IPX or AppleTalk?
No. The ADSL Wireless Router was designed to provide a LAN with shared Internet
access and supports only the TCP/IP Protocol. If your Novell or Apple system is
configured with TCP/IP, the ADSL Wireless Router can support them.
Q: Does the ADSL Wireless Router support 100Mb Ethernet?
Yes, the ADSL Wireless Router supports both 10Mb & 100Mb Ethernet on the LAN
side.
Q: What is “NAT” and what is it used for?
The Network Address Translation (NAT) Protocol translates multiple IP Addresses on
a private LAN into a single public IP Address that is accessible to the Internet. NAT not
only provides the basis for multiple IP Address sharing but also adds to the LAN’s
security since the multiple IP Addresses of LAN computers are never transmitted
directly to the Internet.
Q: How can ADSL Wireless Router enable share of a single account by multiple
users?
ADSL Wireless Router combines the following technologies to enable this function.
NAT (Network Address Translation): NAT is a technology which can create a private
network domain behind a public IP. It is usually used as a firewall. It can also be used
when there are not enough IP Addresses.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): DHCP is a protocol used to assign IP
Address to internal computers automatically. It can save a lot of IP configuration. This
protocol is supported by Windows 95/NT, Mac OS, and many other popular OS.

have the TCP/IP protocol installed in your operating system (For example: Windows
9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000, etc.)
Q: Can I use multiple E-mail accounts if I use ADSL Wireless Router?
Yes, you can. Some people think having one Internet account mean that they can only
have one E-mail account. However, E-mail is set by mailbox accounts and is different
from the account you use to connect to your ISP. If you want more E-mail accounts,
you should contact your ISP or you can browse the Internet to apply for a free E-mail
account.
Q: Can Internet users access LAN computers?
ADSL Wireless Router uses NAT to route all in/out packets. All external users can only
see the IP of the ADSL Wireless Router and cannot access LAN computers. The LAN
computers are well protected with the ADSL Wireless Router’s natural firewall.
Q: When should I use DMZ host?
Enable DMZ host when you want to have unrestricted communication between your
PC and the Internet, for example, playing Internet games (i.e. Ages of Empire) or
having multimedia conferences (i.e. NetMeeting).
Q: Does the ADSL Wireless Router support PPTP of VPN packets pass
through?
Yes. ADSL Wireless Router supports single session PPTP pass through.
Q: Does the ADSL Wireless Router series support IPsec?

Cookie
A Cookie is a piece of data stored on your PC that a web server can retrieve later to
identify your machine. It is normally a text with ID number, but can include other
information.
DHCP
DHCP, short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a protocol for assigning
dynamic IP Addresses to devices on a network. Dynamic Addressing means that a
device can have a different IP Address each time it connects to the network.
Domain Name
A name that identifies one or more IP Addresses. For example, the domain name
microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP Addresses. Domain names are used in
URLs to identify particular Web pages. For example, in the URL
http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html, the domain name is pcwebopedia.com.
DoS
DoS is the abbreviation for Denial of Service. This occurs when a computer or network
is overwhelmed to the point that it can no longer function normally. For example, a
hacker may use fake IP addresses to accumulate numerous connections to flood the
server he wants to attack.
DDNS
DNS
DDNS is an acronym for Dynamic Domain Name Service. It helps map your
dynamic(changing) IP address to the domain name of your host.
Short for Domain Name Server, DNS translates domain names into IP Addresses and
help us recognize and remember domain names as they are alphabetic in form. The
Internet actually runs on numbered IP Addresses. DNS servers translate domain
names into their respective IP Addresses.
Ethernet

and accessible only by that organization's members, employees, or others with
authorization.
Infrastructure Network
Unlike “ad-hoc” network, where users on a wireless LAN send data to each other
directly, users on an “Infrastructure” network send data to another point through a
dedicated access point. Additionally, the access point enables users on a wireless
LAN to access an existing wired network to take advantage of sharing the wired
networks resources, such as files, printers, and Internet access.
IP Address
An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the
TCP/IP Protocol route messages based on the IP Address of the destination. The
format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated
by periods. Each number can be from zero to 255.
IPSec
ISP
Internet Protocol Security is a security standard for network transmission. It provides
authentication and packet encryption over the Internet.
Short for Internet Service Provider, a company that provides access to the Internet,
usually for a monthly fee. The ISP provides a software package, username, password
and access phone number allowing users to log on to the Internet, browse the World
Wide Web and send and receive e-mail.
Local Area Network (LAN)
A computer network that spans a relatively small area. Most LANs are confined to a
single building or group of buildings. However, one LAN can be connected to other
LANs over any distance via telephone lines and radio waves. A system of LANs
connected in this way is called a wide area network (WAN)
MAC Address
NAT
Short for Media Access Control Address and in a hardware address that uniquely
identifies each node of a network.
Short for Network Address Translation, a routing protocol that allows global IP
Addresses to be translated into multiple private IP Addresses for use on internal LAN
networks. The explosion in the use of the Internet has created a critical problem for the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) which is in charge of assigning IP
Addresses to Internet users, ISPs etc.. NAT is a technology that has been introduced
to help maximize the utilization of assigned IAN and global IP Addresses.
Network Protocol
Network protocols encapsulate and forward data packets from one interface to
another.
PAP/CHAP ISP
Short for Password Authentication Protocol and Challenge Handshake Authentication
Protocol. Most ISPs use either one for user identification. If your ISP doesn’t support

The ability for a wireless device moving from one access point’s range to another
without losing the connection.
Router
SPI
An Internet device that routes requests for information to other routers until the
information’s location is found and the data can be transmitted back to the origin of the
request.
SPI is an acronym for Stateful Packet Inspection. The SPI engine examines not just
the headers of the packet, but also the packet contents, it can then determine more
about the packet than just its source and destination information. Moreover, stateful
inspection firewalls also close off ports until a connection to the specific port is
requested.
TCP/IP
VPN
Short for Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, the suite of
communications protocols that enable hosts on the Internet to connect and exchange
streams of data.
VPN is an acronym for Virtual Private Network. Via access control and encryption,
VPN brings the same security to data transmission through the Internet as if it is being
transmitted through a private network. It not only takes advantage of economies of
scale but also ensures high level security while the packet is sent over the large public
network.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
