Your gateway at a glance The 4 port Ethernet Router may have different ports and LEDs. Let’s take a look at the different options. Depending upon your model, it may have some or all of the features listed below Ports and buttons Reset and Restore to Factory Defaults: The restore to factory defaults feature will set the ADSL Router to its factory default configuration by resetting the ADSL Router.
Installing your ADSL Router 1. Locate an optimum location for the ADSL Router. 2. For connections to the Ethernet and DSL interfaces, please refer to the easy start guide. 3. Connect the AC Power Adapter provided. Depending upon the type of network, you may want to put the power supply on an uninterruptible supply.
Setting up your ADSL Router This section will guide you through your ADSL Router’s configuration. The ADSL Router is shipped with a standard PPP configuration. Log into your ADSL Router To configure your ADSL Router, open your web browser. You may get an error message at this point;...
Quick Start The first screen (Figure 2) that appears (after the log in screen) is the Quick Start screen. By default the ADSL Router has being configured to PPP connection and user would only need to enter the username and password (as specified by the local ISP) to make connection to the Internet.
Setup (for advance user) From this screen the user can setup the ADSL Router (configure the LAN and WAN connection(s), configure the advanced configuration options within the ADSL Router (security, routing, and filtering), access tools that are helpful for debug purposes, obtain the status of the modem, and view the extensive online help.
Configuring the WAN Before the gateway will pass any data between the LAN interface(s) and the WAN interface, the WAN side of the modem must be configured. Depending upon your DSL service provider or your ISP, you will need some (or all) of the information outlined below before you can properly configure the WAN: •...

4.4.1.3 PPPoE Connection Setup PPPoE is also known as RFC 2516. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over Ethernet. PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a method of establishing a network connection/session between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of authenticating users. To configure the gateway for PPPoE, click on Setup and then click on Connection.

To make the change permanent you need to click on Save Setting (at the side of the page). At the system commands page, click on Save All. 4.4.1.4 DHCP Connection Setup Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the ADSL Router to automatically obtain the IP address from the server.

To make the change permanent you need to click on Save Settings (at the side of the page). At the system commands page, click on Save All. 4.4.2 Modify an Existing Connection To modify an existing connection, click setup and then click the connection you want to modify.
4.5.1 Enable/Disable DHCP To enable or disable DHCP, Click setup. Under LAN Setup, select DHCP Configuration. This will bring up the screen shown in Figure 10. The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts issuing IP addresses. This value must be greater than the ADSL Router IP address value.
Figure 11 (Example of a DHCP Relay configuration) By turning off the DHCP server and relay the network administrator must carefully configure the IP address, Subnet Mask and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Do not assign the same IP address to more than one computer and your ADSL Router must be on the same subnet as all the other computers.
Figure 12 (Management IP address) The apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the change permanent you need to click on Save Settings (at the side of the page). At the system commands page, click on Save All. 4.5.3 Firewall/NAT Services You can enable or disable Firewall and NAT by clicking on Setup and under LAN Setup, select Firewall/NAT Services.
Advanced (for advance user only) The ADSL Router supports a host of advanced features. For basic ADSL Router functionality, the user does not need to utilize these advanced features. The features help with routing, security, port configuration, and plug and play capability. 4.6.1 UPnP UPnP NAT and Firewall Traversal allow traffic to pass-thru the ADSL Router for applications using the UPnP protocol.
4.6.2 Port Forwarding Using the Port Forwarding page, you can provide local services (for example web hosting) for people on the Internet or play Internet games. When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the ADSL Router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Port forwarding can be used with DHCP assigned addresses but remember that a DHCP address is dynamic (not static).
4.6.3 Advanced Security In the presence of the firewall, anonymous Internet traffic is blocked. Using the advanced security features, you can redirect this traffic to a dedicated computer on your local network (DMZ) or open the access from the Internet to the ADSL Router's management ports (web, telnet). The ADSL Router's firewall and NAT services (port forwarding, access control) can be disabled for all interfaces by un-checking the "Enable Firewall and NAT Service"...
4.6.3.2 Enable Web from WAN Enabling the Web from WAN on your local network allows Web requests that come from the Internet to be re-routed to a Web Server that is on a different subnet. This is different that the Web server rule that is configurable via the port-forwarding page.

To edit/modify an existing filter rule, select the desired rule created previously from “Add” in the “Edit” select box. The selected filter rule will appear on top section, as with the “Add” filter rule. Make the desired change to the MAC address, frame type and/or access type, and press “Apply”. To delete filter rule(s), select the filter rule entry to delete in the “Delete”...
4.6.7 Multicast Multicasting is a form of limited broadcast. UDP is used to send datagrams to all hosts that belong to what is called a "host group." A host group is a set of zero or more hosts identified by the same destination IP address.
here. For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first three fields of the New Destination IP, while the last field should be 0. The Subnet Mask identifies which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion. For a full Class C Subnet, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
To enable Dynamic Routing, click Advanced and under Advanced, select Dynamic Routing. Figure 18 illustrates a typical Dynamic Route. Figure 18 (Dynamic Routing) The apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the change permanent you need to click on Save Settings (at the side of the page). At the system commands page, click on Save All.
4.7.2 User Management You can change your ADSL Router’s username and password by clicking on User Management. From here you can change the login name and password. You can also change the idle timeout; you will need to log back onto the ADSL Router once the timeout expires. If you forget your password, you can press and hold the reset to factory defaults button for 10 seconds (or more).
4.7.4 Ping Test Once you have your ADSL Router configured, it is a good idea to make sure you can ping the network. You can get to the Ping page under the Tools title, by clicking on Ping Test. Type the target address that you want to ping.
4.8.2 Connection Status Select to view the Status of different connections. 4.8.3 DHCP Clients Select to view the list of DHCP clients. 4.8.4 Modem Status Select to view the Status and Statistics of your broadband (DSL) connection. 4.8.5 Product Information You can display the ADSL Router’s driver and run-time information by going under Status title and click on Product Information.
Appendix A: Troubleshooting Below is a list of commonly asked questions. Before calling technical support, please look through these issues to see if they help to solve your problem. The ADSL Router is not functional Check to see that the power LED is green and than the network cables are installed correctly.
The DSL Link LED continues to blink but does not go solid 1. This means that the DSL line is trying to train but for some reason it cannot establish a valid connection. The main cause of this is that you are too far away from the central office.
ADSL Router terms What is a firewall? A firewall is protection between the Internet and your local network. It acts similarly to the firewall in your car, protecting the interior of the car from the engine. Your car's firewall has very small opening that allow desired connections from the engine into the cabin (gas pedal connection, etc), but if something happens to your engine, you are protected.
