    3.2.3 LAN Setup The LAN Setup configuration in a telnet environment has 2 items. LAN IP Address: type in the IP address of the EE400-R as it is seen by the internal LAN computers. If Telnet is used and the LAN IP is changed, the administrator may lose connection with The EE400-R when they are not in the same LAN segment, so administration will not work until they are in the same segment again.

  • Page 32 Allow/Deny Respond to Ping from WAN: Allow or Deny responding if there are any Ping packet sent to WAN of the EE400-R. Allow/Deny Web Management from WAN: This function allows the administrator to configure the EE400-R from the outside Internet with a browser directly. In order to reserve HTTP service (port 80), which is used for virtual servers, the remote web administration function utilizes another port 64511 instead.

  • Page 33: Chapter 4 Advanced Firewall Function

    Click the Access Control link in the left frame. There you will see the 3 options shown below. Respond to Ping from WAN: Allow or Deny responding if there is any PING packet sent to the WAN of the EE400-R. This is very useful to avoid Internet intruders/hackers from probing the computer. Most likely, the hacker will not start to attack.

  • Page 34: Service Time Allocation

    This function allows the administrator to inhibit LAN users from using some Internet services for management purposes. For example, if the EE400-R is used in a SOHO environment and the administrator wants to inhibit LAN users from using Telnet services (like BBS, on-line chat), then it is easily achieved by blocking all packets to service port 23.
  • Page 35 “Service Time Allocation” allows the administrator to control the EE400-R’s LAN-to-WAN if the service is available or disabled at any time. This feature is implemented through two mechanisms. One method is to specify the maximum continuous service period. This is primarily used for parental control in home/family applications.

  • Page 36: Url Keyword Blocking

    LAN-to-WAN service is on or off according to a predefined daily schedule table. 4.3 URL Keyword Blocking In order to prevent LAN users from accessing specific websites, the EE400-R provides a function to perform such a filtering mechanism. The administrator can enter the URL keywords of which websites are to be rejected.

  • Page 37: Virtual Server

    Internet. However, some Internet servers (like WWW, FTP, E-mail) should be visible and accessible by the outside Internet. As a result, the EE400-R provides Virtual Server functions to meet this demand. In addition, the EE400-R also protects the servers and all other computers in the LAN simultaneously.

  • Page 38: Dmz

    There are more and more Internet applications need 2-way access right (like video and/or audio conference, on-line game..). EE400-R provide the similar features to make some computers in LAN to have unrestricted 2-way access privilege. As a result, all computers in DMZ are most compatible with Internet applications.

  • Page 39: Multiple Dmz Host

    If the WAN connection type is static and there is a range of IP addresses assigned to the WAN interface instead of a single IP (please refer to section 3.1), then the EE400-R allows 4 computers in the LAN to become DMZ hosts.
  • Page 40 For example, if the ISP provides IPs 210.65.226.1 through 210.65.226.7 (subnet mask 255.255.255.248), then the subscriber can have 6 computers at most accessing the Internet simultaneously. With the EE400-R, additional computers can access the Internet. (Please refer to Figure 4-1) EE400-R GigaFast Ethernet.
  • Page 41 EE400-R Figure 4-1 Bridging mode Unfortunately, the multiple DMZ host will not work with the Figure 4-1 configuration because the EE400-R can only handle one IP address, not 5 IP addresses. In such conditions, the bridging mode option is available for Multiple DMZ.

  • Page 42: Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

    Check to see that the EE400-R’s LAN connections are properly connected and the unit is powered on. Set the EE400-R to factory default condition. Ensure that your PC and the EE400-R are on the same network segment. If you are not sure, initiate the DHCP function to let the PC get an IP address automatically.

  • Page 43: Frequently Asked Questions

    Reset your cable/DSL modem by powering the unit off for 20 seconds and then turn it back on. Once it has completed its tests, reset the EE400-R by holding down the reset button for at least 5 seconds with the power on and try installation again.
  • Page 44 9. Is the EE400-R cross-platform compatible? Yes, any platform that supports Ethernet and TCP/IP is compatible with the EE400-R. 10. Can I use my own public IPs and Domain or do I have to use the IPs provided by the router? You can customize your own IPs through configuration of this router.
