Router is a multi-function device providing the following services:
Advanced Internet Functions
•
•
•
•
ADSL Modem.
•
Application Level Gateways (ALGs). Applications which use non-standard connec-
tions 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.
Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users.
VPN Gateway to allow secure VPN connections over the Internet.
4-Port Switching Hub for 10BaseT or 100BaseT connections.
•
•
•
Special Applications. This feature, also called Port Triggering, allows you to use
Internet applications which normally do not function when used behind a firewall.
Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your
LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
Dynamic DNS Support. DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature, allows
users to connect to Servers on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if you have a dy-
namic IP address which changes every time you connect.
•
•
URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.
Firewall. As well as the built-in firewall to protect your LAN, you can define Firewall
Rules to determine which incoming and outgoing traffic should be permitted.
•
•
•
Scheduling. Both the URL Filter and Firewall rules can be scheduled to operate only at
certain times. This provides great flexibility in controlling Internet -bound traffic.
Logs. Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send log data to a Syslog
Server. Log data can also be E-mailed to you.
VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software
using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.

address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Broadband ADSL Router can act as a
DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN.
Internet Access Features
•
•
Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN can access the Internet through the
Broadband ADSL Router, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP
Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Ad-
dress Translation).
Configuration & Management
•
•
Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN for configuration.

Security Features
•
Password - protected Configuration. 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 Broadband ADSL Router.
Quick Installation Guide
CD-ROM containing the on-line manual.
•
•
Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming 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 Broadband
ADSL Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

Password Screen
DHCP
The password screen allows you to assign a password to the Broadband ADSL Router.
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 Broadband ADSL 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.)
Figure 11: Password Screen
Using the Broadband ADSL Router's DHCP Server
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen,
you can:
Enter the existing password in this field.
Enter the new password here.

•
•
Enable or Disable the Broadband ADSL Router's DHCP Server function.
Re-enter the new password here.
Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
You will be prompted for the password when you connect, as shown below.
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 Broadband ADSL Router's, the following procedure is required.
•
Disable the DHCP Server feature in the Broadband ADSL Router. This setting is on the
LAN screen.
•
Configure the DHCP Server to provide the Broadband ADSL Router's IP Address as the
Default Gateway.
Figure 12: Password Dialog
•
•
The "User Name" is always admin
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP
Enter the password for the Broadband ADSL Router, as set on the Password screen above.
This is the default setting for TCP/IP for all non-Server versions of Windows.

information to all LAN users.
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Broadband
ADSL Router.
Only the ADSL Modem component is operational.
Modem
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
•
•
All Router features are disabled. This device is "transparent" - it does
not perform any operations or make any changes to the network traffic
passing through it.
The Broadband ADSL 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.
All traffic received on LAN interface will be sent over the ADSL
connection.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default Broadband ADSL Router settings, and the default
Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
Notes:
•
•
•
Generally, you should NOT use modem mode. Only select this mode if you are sure this is
what you want.
•
•
By default, the Broadband ADSL Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically provid-
ing a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.
After changing the mode, this device will restart, which will take a few seconds. The menu
will also change, depending on the mode you are in.
For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP
client.
For details on using Modem Mode, see Chapter 8.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are required:
•
•
The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Broadband ADSL 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.

The "DMZ PC" is effectively outside the Firewall, mak-
ing it more vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, you
should only enable the DMZ feature when required.
This Chapter explains when and how to use the Broadband ADSL Router's
"Advanced" Features.
Overview
Special Applications
The following advanced features are provided:
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 Router's firewall. In
this case, you can define the application as a "Special Application".

Virtual Servers
This feature, sometimes called Port Forwarding, 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.
The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your
servers, as illustrated below.

This lists a number of common Server types. If the desired Server
type is not listed, you can create a Firewall Rule to achieve the
same effect as the Virtual Server function.
Properties
Enable
Use this to Enable or Disable support for this Server, as required.
If Enabled, you must select the PC to which this traffic will be sent.
PC (Server)
Select the PC for this Server. The PC must be running the appro-
priate Server software.
Figure 42: Virtual Servers
For each entry, the PC must be running the appropri-
ate Server software.
IP Address seen by Internet Users
Note that, in this illustration, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP Address, but
using different protocols.
If the desired Server type is not listed, you can define
your own Servers, using the Firewall Rules.
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.
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).
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.
e.g.
Virtual Servers Screen

•
The "Virtual Servers" feature allows Internet Users to access PCs on your LAN.
The PCs must be running the appropriate Server Software.
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 to allow users to connect to your Virtual
Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
For Internet Users, ALL of your Servers have the same IP address. This IP address is
allocated by your ISP.
•
To make it easier for Internet users to connect to your Servers, you can use the "DDNS"
feature. This allows Internet users to connect to your Servers with a URL, rather than an
IP address. This technology works even if your ISP allocates dynamic IP addresses (IP
address is allocated upon connection, so it may change each time you connect).
From the Internet, ALL Virtual Servers have
the IP Address allocated by your ISP

It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses.
Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your LAN.
This Chapter explains the settings available via the "Administration" section
of the menu.
However, if you do use a fixed IP address on some devices on your LAN, you should enter
details of each such device into the PC database, using the PC Database screen.
PC Database Screen
Overview
An example PC Database screen is shown below.
Normally, it is not necessary to use these screens, or change any settings. These screens and
settings are provided to deal with non-standard situations, or to provide additional options for
advanced users.
The available settings and features are:

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 Broadband ADSL 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 net-
work 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 the Broadband ADSL Router is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment,
ignore the "Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers.
This example assumes the WAN IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and the port number is
8080.
If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the Broadband ADSL
Router is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Pro-
tocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.
3. You will then be prompted for the login name and password for this device.

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.)

Router - Both the ADSL Modem and the Router features are operational. In this mode,
this device can provide shared Internet Access to all your LAN users. Also, by default, it
acts a DHCP Server, providing an IP address and related information to all LAN users.
•
Modem - Only the ADSL Modem component is operational. All Router features are
disabled. This device is "transparent" - it does not perform any operations or make any
changes to the network traffic passing through it. This Chapter describes operation while

Note that the menu has changed, many of the options in Router mode are not available. The
screens available are:
When this device restarts in Modem mode, the IP address does not change, but the DHCP
server is disabled. However, your PC will usually retain the IP address provided by the DHCP
Server, so the connection will be automatically re-established. You then need to ensure that the
IP address of this modem is suitable for your LAN.
•
•
•
Mode - change back to Router mode, if desired.
ADSL - set ADSL parameters. See the following section for details.
This Modem/AP must be a valid device on your LAN, to allow management connections. You
must assign a (fixed) IP address which is within the address range used on your LAN, but not
within the address range used by your DHCP server.
LAN - set IP address, mask and gateway. This is the same as in Router mode, except that
the DHCP server is not available while in Modem mode.

The Broadband ADSL Router processes the data passing through it, so it is
not transparent.
Troubleshooting
For incoming connections, you must use the Virtual Server or Firewall
Rules to specify the PC which will receive the incoming traffic.
This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions.
You can also 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.
This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Broad-
band ADSL Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and
the Broadband ADSL Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further
advice.
General Problems
Problem 1:
Can't connect to the Broadband ADSL Router to configure it.
Check the following:
Solution 1:
•
•
•
•
The Broadband ADSL Router is properly installed, LAN connections
are OK, and it is powered ON.
Ensure that your PC and the Broadband ADSL 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 Broadband ADSL 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
Broadband ADSL 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
Broadband ADSL Router. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect
to it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN
and power connections.)
•
Check the Broadband ADSL Router's status screen to see if it is work-
ing correctly.
