Chapter 3 Network Settings and Software Installation  
To use this product correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your  
computers and install the attached setup program into your MS Windows platform  
(Windows 95/98/NT).  
3.1 Make correct network settings of your computer  
The default IP address of this product is 192.168.123.254, and the default subnet mask is  
255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed on your need, but the default values are  
used in this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your computer has not yet been  
configured, you can refer to Appendix B to configure it. For example,  
1. configure IP as 192.168.123.1, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as  
192.168.123.254, or more easier,  
2. configure your computers to load TCP/IP setting automatically, that is, via DHCP  
server of this product.  
After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol, you can use the ping command to  
check if your computer has successfully connected to this product. The following example  
shows the ping procedure for Windows 95 platforms. First, execute the ping command  
ping 192.168.123.254  
If the following messages appear:  
Pinging 192.168.123.254 with 32 bytes of data:  
Reply from 192.168.123.254: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64  
a communication link between your computer and this product has been successfully  
established. Otherwise, if you get the following messages,  
Pinging 192.168.123.254 with 32 bytes of data:  
Request timed out.

4.5 DHCP Server  
The settings of TCP/IP environment include Host IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS  
configurations. It is not a simple task to correctly configure all the computers in your LAN  
environment. Fortunately, DHCP provides a rather simple approach to handle all these  
settings. This product supports the function of DHCP server. If you enable this product’s  
DHCP server and configure your computers as “automatic IP allocation” mode, then when  
your computer is powered on, it will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings from  
this product. The settings of DHCP server include the following items:  
1. DHCP Server: Choose “Disable” or “Enable.”  
2. Range of IP Address Pool: Whenever there is a request, the DHCP server will  
automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the  
requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP  
address pool.  
3. Domain Name: Optional, this information will be passed to the client.

4.6 Virtual Server  
This product’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so  
all hosts behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make  
some of them accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping.  
A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected  
to the computer specified by the Server IP.  
For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.123.1, a Web server (port 80)  
at 192.168.123.2, and a VPN server at 192.168.123.6, then you need to specify the  
following virtual server mapping table:  
Service Port  
Server IP  
Enable  
21  
80  
192.168.123.1  
192.168.123.2  
192.168.123.6

4.7 Special AP  
Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing,  
Internet telephony and so on. Due to the firewall function, these applications can not work  
with pure NAT router. Special Applications makes some of these applications to work  
with NAT router. If Special Applications is still insufficient to allow an application to  
function correctly, try DMZ host in the Misc Items options.  
1. Trigger: the outbound port number the application issued first.  
2. Incoming Ports: when the trigger packet is detected, the inbound packets to the  
specified port numbers are allowed to pass the firewall.  
This product provides some predefined settings in the gray pad on the bottom of the web  
page. Choose the Popular application and click Copy to copy the predefined setting.  
Note! At any time, only one PC can use each Special Application tunnel.

4.8 Access Control  
Access Control allows you to assign different access right for different users. First, you  
have to divide users into different groups. Users are identified by their IP addresses. You  
can assign the members of Group 1, 2 and 3. The others are all members of Default Group.  
Second, you have to assign the access right of each group. Access right can allow or block  
users to access specified TCP and UDP ports. For example:  
Group  
Members

4.9 Misc Items  
1. IP Address of DMZ Host: DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) Host is a host without the  
protection of firewall. It allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted 2-way  
communication. Note that, this feature should be used only when needed.  
2. Remote Administrator Host: In general, only Intranet user can browse the built-in  
web pages to perform administration task. This feature enables you to perform  
administration task from remote host. If this feature is enabled, only the specified IP  
address can perform remote administration. If the specified IP address is 0.0.0.0, any  
host can connect to this product to perform administration task. When this feature is  
enabled, the web port will be shifted to 88.
