LevelOne Broadband Router Features  
The LevelOne Broadband Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to  
provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.  
Internet Access Features  
Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet  
through the LevelOne Broadband Router, using only a single external IP Address. The lo-  
cal (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT  
(Network Address Translation).  
DSL & Cable Modem Support. The LevelOne Broadband Router has a 10BaseT  
Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Mo-  
dems are supported. SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia) login support is also included.  
PPPoE, PPTP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond Support. The Internet (WAN  
port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Pro-  
tocol), SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as "Direct Connection" type  
services.

Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the LevelOne  
Broadband Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connec-  
tion) and Fixed IP Address.  
Advanced Internet Functions  
Communication Applications. Support for Internet communication applications, such  
as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing applications, which are often difficult  
to use when behind a Firewall, is included.  
Special Internet Applications. Applications which use non-standard connections or  
port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow such  
applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.  
Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your  
LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.  
DMZ. One (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way  
communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability  
to run programs which are incompatible with Firewalls.  
URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.  
Internet Access Log. See which Internet connections have been made.  
VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software  
using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.  
LAN Features  
4-Port Switching Hub. The LevelOne Broadband Router incorporates a 4-port  
10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.  
DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP  
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The LevelOne Broadband Router can act  
as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.  
Multi Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more segments are supported,  
via the LevelOne Broadband Router's RIP (Routing Information Protocol) support and  
built-in static routing table.  
Network Printer ( FBR-1403TX only)  
Shared Printer (Network Printer). A printer connected to the LevelOne Broadband  
Router's parallel port can be shared by all PCs on the LAN or WLAN.  
Multiple OS Support. Clients may use any of the following operating systems:  
Windows 95/98/ME  
Windows NT 4.0, 2000, or XP.  
Unix  
Multi-protocol Support. The following printing methods are supported:  
Windows peer-to-peer printing over TCP/IP, using the supplied port driver.  
Windows LPD printing, using a Windows Server running NT 4.0 or Windows 2000  
Server. In this situation, no software needs to be installed on the client PCs.  
Unix LPD printing. No additional software needs to be installed.

Introduction  
Configuration & Management  
Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for configu-  
ration.  
Remote Management. The LevelOne Broadband Router can be managed from any PC  
on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured  
via the Internet.  
UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and con-  
figuration of the LevelOne Broadband Router. UPnP is by supported by Windows ME,  
XP, or later.  
Security Features  
Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to  
prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.  
NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech-  
nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and  
even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network,  
only a single device - the LevelOne Broadband Router.  
Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom-  
ing server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from  
external sources.  
Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your  
Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much band-  
width and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The LevelOne  
Broadband Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

and the LevelOne Broadband Router must be directly connected (using the Hub ports on  
the LevelOne Broadband Router) or on the same LAN segment.  
The LevelOne Broadband Router must be installed and powered ON.  
If the LevelOne Broadband Router's default IP Address (192.168.0.1) is already used by  
another device, the other device must be turned OFF until the LevelOne Broadband  
Router is allocated a new IP Address during configuration.  
Using UPnP  
If your Windows system supports UPnP, an icon for the LevelOne Broadband Router will  
appear in the system tray, notifying you that a new network device has been found, and offer-  
ing to create a new desktop shortcut to the newly-discovered device.  
Unless you intend to change the IP Address of the LevelOne Broadband Router, you can  
accept the desktop shortcut.  
Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can always find UPnP devices in My  
Network Places (previously called Network Neighborhood).  
Double - click the icon for the LevelOne Broadband Router (either on the Desktop, or in  
My Network Places) to start the configuration. Refer to the following section Setup Wizard  
for details of the initial configuration process.

If the LevelOne Broadband Router does not respond, check the following:  
The LevelOne Broadband Router is properly installed, LAN connection is OK,  
and it is powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" com-  
mand:  
Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.  
Enter the command:  
ping 192.168.0.1  
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your  
PC's IP address is not compatible with the LevelOne Broadband Router's  
IP Address. (See next item.)  
If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range  
192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 to be compatible with the LevelOne Broadband  
Router's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask must be  
set to 255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on check-  
ing your PC's TCP/IP settings.

TCP/IP  
IP address for the LevelOne Broadband Router, as seen from the local  
LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your  
LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an  
unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN.  
IP Address  
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")  
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN  
segment to which the LevelOne Broadband Router is attached (the  
same value as the PCs on that LAN segment).  
Subnet Mask  
DHCP Server  
If Enabled, the LevelOne Broadband Router will allocate IP  
Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start  
up. The default (and recommended) value is Enabled.  
If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be  
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to  
treat the LevelOne Broadband Router as the default Gateway. See  
the following section for further details.  
The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values  
used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP  
clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients  
supported.  
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.

DHCP  
What DHCP Does  
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a  
DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request.  
The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).  
The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as  
allocating an IP Address.  
The LevelOne Broadband Router can act as a DHCP server.  
Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP  
client. This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However,  
Windows uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatically instead of "DHCP Client".  
You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your  
LAN does not have other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on  
your LAN.)  
Using the LevelOne Broadband Router's DHCP Server  
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen,  
you can:  
Enable or Disable the LevelOne Broadband Router's DHCP Server function.  
Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.  
You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices  
while using DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses  
are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server.  
Using another DHCP Server  
You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP  
Server, rather than the LevelOne Broadband Router's, the following procedure is required.  
1. Disable the DHCP Server feature in the LevelOne Broadband Router. This setting is on  
the LAN screen.  
2. Configure the DHCP Server to provide the LevelOne Broadband Router's IP Address as  
the Default Gateway.  
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP  
This is the default setting for TCP/IP under Windows 95/98/ME.  
See Chapter 4 - Client Configuration for the procedure to check these settings.

This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal")  
LAN.  
Overview  
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:  
TCP/IP network settings  
Internet Access configuration  
Printer configuration  
Windows Clients  
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for:  
Internet access via the LevelOne Broadband Router  
Sharing the Printer connected to the LevelOne Broadband Router.  
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.  
The LevelOne Broadband Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is  
essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.  
TCP/IP Settings - Overview  
If using the default LevelOne Broadband Router settings, and the default  
Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.  
By default, the LevelOne Broadband Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically  
providing a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.  
For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP  
client.  
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are re-  
quired:  
The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the LevelOne Broadband Router  
The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.  
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re-  
configure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 - Ad-  
vanced Setup for details.

Special Applications  
If you use Internet applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers, you may  
find that they do not function correctly because they are blocked by the LevelOne Broadband  
Router's firewall. In this case, you can define the application as a "Special Application".  
Special Applications Screen  
This screen can be reached by clicking the Special Applications button on the Internet screen.  
You can then define your Special Applications. You will need detailed information about the  
application; this is normally available from the supplier of the application.  
Also, note that the terms "Incoming" and "Outgoing" on this screen refer to traffic from the  
client (PC) viewpoint

number, enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields.  
Using a Special Application  
Configure the Special Applications screen as required.  
On your PC, use the application normally. Remember that only one (1) PC can use each  
Special application at any time. Also, when 1 PC is finished using a particular Special Ap-  
plication, there may need to be a "Time-out" before another PC can use the same Special  
Application. The "Time-out" period may be up to 3 minutes.  
If an application still cannot function correctly,  
try using the "DMZ" feature.  
DMZ  
This feature, if enabled, allows one (1) computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on  
the Internet, allowing unrestricted 2-way communication between the "DMZ PC" and other  
Internet users or Servers.  
This allows almost any application to be used on the "DMZ PC".  
The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data.  
If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must select the PC to be used as the "DMZ PC".  
The DMZ feature can be Enabled and Disabled on the Advanced Internet screen.

Access Control  
This feature is accessed by the Access Control link on the Advanced menu.  
Overview  
The Access Control feature allows administrators to restrict the level of Internet Access avail-  
able to PCs on your LAN. With the default settings, everyone has unrestricted Internet access.  
To use this feature:  
1. Set the desired restrictions on the "Default" group. All PCs are in the "Default" group  
unless explicitly moved to another group.  
2. Set the desired restrictions on the other groups ("Group 1", "Group 2", "Group 3" and  
"Group 4") as needed.  
3. Assign PC to the groups as required.  
Restrictions are imposed by blocking "Services", or types of  
connections. All common Services are pre-defined.  
If required, you can also define your own Services.

Enter a port number between 1024 and 65535 (8080 is recom-  
mended). This port number must be specified when you connect (see  
below).  
Port Number  
Note: The default port number for HTTP (Web) connections is port  
80, but using port 80 here will prevent the use of a Web "Virtual  
Server" on your LAN. (See Advanced Internet - Virtual Servers)  
You must use this IP Address to connect (see below).  
Current IP Ad-  
dress  
This IP Address is allocated by your ISP. But if using a Dynamic IP  
Address, this value can change each time you connect to your ISP.  
So it is better if your ISP allocates you a Fixed IP Address.  
To connect from a remote PC via the Internet  
1. Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser.  
2. In the "Address" bar, enter "HTTP://" followed by the Internet IP Address of the Leve-  
lOne Broadband Router. If the port number is not 80, the port number is also required.  
(After the IP Address, enter ":" followed by the port number.)  
e.g.  
HTTP://123.123.123.123:8080  
This example assumes the WAN IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and the port number is 8080.

Virtual Servers  
This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally,  
Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because:  
Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address.  
Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device.

Note that, in this illustration, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP Address, but

To Internet users, all virtual Servers on your LAN have the same IP Address.  
This IP Address is allocated by your ISP.  
This address should be static, rather than dynamic, to make it easier for Internet users to  
connect to your Servers.  
However, you can use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature to allow users to connect to your  
Virtual Servers using a URL, instead of an IP Address.

Connecting to the Virtual Servers  
Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use  
the Internet IP Address (the IP Address allocated to you by your ISP).  
e.g.  
It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic.  
However, you can use the Dynamic DNS feature, described in the following section, to allow  
users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.  
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)  
This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows  
Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.  
This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your  
IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you.

PC Database  
The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC). It elimi-  
nates the need to enter IP addresses. Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your  
LAN.  
PC Database Screen  
An example PC Database screen is shown below.  
Figure 45: PC Database  
PCs which are "DHCP Clients" are automatically added to the database, and updated as  
required.  
By default, non-Server versions of Windows act as "DHCP Clients"; this setting is called  
"Obtain an IP Address automatically".  
The LevelOne Broadband Router uses the "Hardware Address" to identify each PC, not  
the name or IP address. The "Hardware Address" can only change if you change the PC's  
network card or adapter.  
This system means you do NOT need to use Fixed (static) IP addresses on your LAN.  
However, you can add PCs using Fixed (static) IP Addresses to the PC database if re-  
quired.

If enabled, DoS (Denial of Service) attacks will be detected and  
blocked. The default is enabled. It is strongly recommended that this  
setting be left enabled.  
Enable DoS  
Firewall  
Note:  
A DoS attack does not attempt to steal data or damage your PCs,  
but overloads your Internet connection so you can not use it - the  
service is unavailable.  
This device uses "Stateful Inspection" technology. This system can  
detect situations where individual TCP/IP packets are valid, but  
collectively they become a DoS attack.  
This setting affects the number of "half-open" connections allowed.  
Threshold  
A "half-open" connection arises when a remote client contacts the  
Server with a connection request, but then does not reply to the  
Server's response.  
While the optimum number of "half-open" connections allowed  
(the "Threshold") depends on many factors, the most important  
factor is the available bandwidth of your Internet connection.  
Select the setting to match the bandwidth of your Internet connec-  
tion.

MAC Address  
The MAC (hardware) address is a low-level network identifier. It may be called "MAC Ad-  
dress", "Hardware Address", or "Physical Address". On a PC, this address is associated with  
the Network card or adapter. The address on the MAC Address screen is the address on the  
Internet (WAN port) interface, and has no effect on the LAN interface.  
If your ISP asks for the "Network Adapter Address", "Physical Address", "Hardware  
Address", or "MAC Address" for the PC the DSL/Cable modem is connected to, provide  
this value.  
If your ISP has already recorded a MAC address, you can change the address used by the  
LevelOne Broadband Router to match the address recorded by your ISP.

Routing  
Overview  
If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing"  
page completely.  
If the LevelOne Broadband Router is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN seg-  
ment, ignore the "Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers.  
If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the LevelOne Broad-  
band Router is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing  
Information Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.  
If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN seg-  
ments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure  
the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.)  
If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the Leve-  
lOne Broadband Router, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are correct:  
Open Routing and Remote Access  
In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access , [server name], IP Routing,  
RIP  
In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version  
2, and then click "Properties".  
On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and  
Incoming packet protocol to "RIP version 1 and 2".  
Routing Screen  
The routing table is accessed by the Routing link on the Advanced screen.  
Using this Screen  
Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the Static Routing  
Table, as explained above, although is it possible to use both methods simultaneously.  
Static Routing Table  
If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your  
Network, other than the segment to which this device is attached.  
The other Routers must also be configured. See Configuring Other Routers on your LAN  
later in this chapter for further details and an example.

Configuring Other Routers on your LAN  
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the LevelOne  
Broadband Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To  
achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the LevelOne Broadband Router as the  
Default Route or Default Gateway.  
Local Router  
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the LevelOne Broadband  
Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the LevelOne Broadband Router itself.  
Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as fol-  
lows.  
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.

Other Routers on the Local LAN  
Other routers on the local LAN must use the LevelOne Broadband Router's Local Router as  
the Default Route. The entries will be the same as the LevelOne Broadband Router's local  
router, with the exception of the Gateway IP Address.  
For a router with a direct connection to the LevelOne Broadband Router's local Router,  
the Gateway IP Address is the address of the LevelOne Broadband Router's local router.  
For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the LevelOne  
Broadband Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermedi-  
ate router.

Troubleshooting  
A
This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions.  
Overview  
This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Leve-  
lOne Broadband Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps  
and the LevelOne Broadband Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for  
further advice.  
General Problems  
Problem 1:  
Can't connect to the LevelOne Broadband Router to configure it.  
Check the following:  
Solution 1:  
The LevelOne Broadband Router is properly installed, LAN connec-  
tions are OK, and it is powered ON.  
Ensure that your PC and the LevelOne Broadband Router are on the  
same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the  
case.)  
If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP  
client), restart it.  
If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP  
Address within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thus com-  
patible with the LevelOne Broadband Router's default IP Address of  
192.168.0.1.  
Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the  
LevelOne Broadband Router.  
In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel-  
Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.  
Internet Access  
Problem 1:  
When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.  
A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting  
steps.  
Solution 1:  
Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP settings  
are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Network  
Mask, Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address.  
If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the  
LevelOne Broadband Router. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Con-  
nect to it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the  
LAN and power connections.)  
If the LevelOne Broadband Router is configured correctly, check your  
Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem etc) to see that it is working

Appendix A - Troubleshooting  
correctly.  
Problem 2:  
Some applications do not run properly when using the LevelOne  
Broadband Router.  
The LevelOne Broadband Router processes the data passing through it, so it  
is not transparent.  
Solution 2:  
Use the Special Applications feature to allow the use of Internet applications  
which do not function correctly.  
If this does solve the problem you can use the DMZ function. This should  
work with almost every application, but:  
It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.  
Only one (1) PC can use this feature.  
Printing (FBR-1403TX)  
Problem 1:  
When I tried to install the Printing software for Peer-to-Peer printing,  
I received an error message and the installation was aborted..  
This may be caused by an existing installation of the printer port software.  
Before attempting another installation:  
Solution 1:  
Remove the existing installation  
Restart your PC  
To remove an existing printer port installation:  
1. Open Start - Settings - Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs  
2. Look for an entry with a name like "Shared Port", "Shared Printer  
Port", "Print Server Driver" or "Print Server Port".  
3. Select this item, click "Add/Remove", and confirm the deletion.  
Problem 2:  
I am using Windows 95, and the Printing software installed and ran,  
but when I selected a port on a LevelOne Broadband Router and  
clicked "Add", the printer was not installed.  
Try installing the printer using the standard Windows tools, as follows:  
Solution 2:  
1. Start the Add Printer Wizard.  
2. Select Network Printer when prompted "How is the printer attached to  
your Computer?", and click Next.  
3. When prompted for the Network Path or Queue, enter a dummy value  
such as \\123, as shown below. (Do NOT select Yes for "Do you print  
for MS-DOS programs?")
