Introduction The BroadBand IP Gateway + Fast EtherSwitch is an integrated Internet IP sharing device with a built-in 4-port 10/100Mbps N-Way Fast Ethernet switch. It is the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection. Multiple users can have high-speed Internet access simultaneously via one single IP address (Internet account) of the Cable/xDSL modem.
Supports VPN (PPTP pass thru). Supports PPPoE. Supports Internet applications such as Web, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-Mail, News, NetMeeting, Net2Phone, PCAnyWhere, mIRC , CuSeeMe, AoE…etc. Natural firewall keeps hackers out. DHCP server allocates up to 253 client IP addresses. DHCP client to get global IP address automatically. 4 ports 10/100Mbps N-Way Fast Ethernet Switch Virtual server.

Virtual Server In this page, you can set up a local server with specific port number which stands for the service (e.g. web(80), FTP(21), Telnet(23)). When this device receives an incoming access request for this specific port, it will be forwarded to the corresponding internal server. You can add virtual servers by either port numbers or by names.
Server List: Display all the virtual servers. DELETE ALL: Click to delete all the servers on the list. DELETE: Click to delete the selected server. DMZ Host Function: If the DMZ Host Function is enabled, it means that you set up DMZ host at a particular computer to be exposed to the Internet so that some applications/software, especially Internet / online game can have two-way connections.

the following three types of filter. Each filter can be set to filter (drop) or forward (pass) packets. You can input up to six filters in this device. Network Adapter Address Filter: Filter according to local computer’s network adapter MAC address (also known as the adapter card’s Physical Address).
Static Router You can set static routes to manually administrate the network topology/traffic when the dynamic route is not effective enough. Select “Static Route #1” or “Static Route #2”, enter the settings, and click “SAVE” to save settings. Click “RESET” to clear all entries. WAN IP Status Network Status: Display the current Internet connection status.

IP Client/ Port Client: The local network IP address/port number of one end point of a session. Port Fake: Featuring NAT, the Port Fake is used to translate the local network IP addresses for connecting to the Internet. IP Remote/Port Remote: The outside network IP address/port number of the other end of a session.
Checking E-Mail You may set a mail account on this IP Share to periodically check up incoming emails. You'll need to enter the account name, password, the name of the incoming mail server and the interval to check mail. The “Have Mail” LED flashing frequency dependents on the number of e-mail that is waiting for you to retrieve.

Configuration via Terminal COMMANDS You can use terminal emulation on your PC/workstation for the initial and future configuration of your product. If you prefer, a telnet session can be opened directly. Telnet provides the same type of terminal emulation. For security purposes, the product uses port 333 for telnet. All of the following Terminal Mode Configuration menus are identical in the telnet session, with the exception that any saved changes that result in the product rebooting, will require user to open a new telnet session to reestablish a connection with the product.

What is DMZ? DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), a barrier between the Internet and a company's Intranet. It is a subnet that contains a firewall and proxy server (which can be in separate servers or in one server). The firewall connects to an external firewall on the Internet side, which may be at the ISP's location and is often called a "boundary router".

If it is anything other than 0.0.0.0 (non-zero), it means the connection is good. Note: Once the PPPoE setup is completed on this device, do not run any PPPoE client software on the local workstations.
the installation guide again, and ONLY connect the device, the client, and your modem together. If you are on a network, it is recommended that you contact your IS or IT Manager for further assistance with DHCP settings. Placing an IP Sharing Device that passes out IP addresses on a LAN with an existing DHCP server may cause problems throughout a network.

Figure 16 Check the physical connectivity of local network. Check if both the LEDs of Local and Global on the product’s front panel are lit correctly. If yes, go to next step. Otherwise, make sure you are using the correct cables and the cables are connected to the network devices properly.
Diagnosis TCP/IP Network Diagnosis Execute WINIPCFG.EXE or PING.EXE for TCP/IP network diagnosis. WINIPCFG The WINIPCFG program (for Win95, 98, and ME) is used to gather information about the TCP/IP connections that are active on your system. It cannot be used to dynamically adjust TCP/IP connections.

/RENEW to renew IP addresses. For a list of the IPCONFIG commands, type in IPCONFIG /? PING.EXE Ping is used to verify that a computer is active and available. Users can ping a specific destination domain name or just the IP address.

Internet Connectivity Checkup PING to an IP address or domain name on Internet. For Example: C:\> PING 168.95.192.1 –w 5000 C:\> PING www.yahoo.com –w 5000 If successful, you are connected to the Internet. If you can ping the ISP’s gateway, but cannot ping a specific site (e.g. www.yahoo.com) on the Internet, chances are, your ISP has an internal problem.
