Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of the LevelOne Broadband Router's fea-
tures and capabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new LevelOne Broadband Router. The LevelOne
Broadband Router is a multi-function device providing the following services:
Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users.
Network Printer - LAN users can share the printer attached to the LevelOne Broadband
Router (For LevelOne 1 Port Broadband Router with 4 LAN Port, Printer Server and Leve-
lOne 1 Port Broadband Router with 7 LAN Port only)

Features of your LevelOne Broadband Router
This manual covers 4 models:
FBR-1100TX - LevelOne 1 Port Broadband Router with 1 LAN Port.
FBR-1400TX - LevelOne 1 Port Broadband Router with 4 LAN Ports.
FBR-1401TX - LevelOne 1 Port Broadband Router with 4 LAN Ports, Printer Server.
FBR-1700TX - LevelOne 1 Port Broadband Router with 7 LAN Ports, Printer Server.
Apart from the physical differences, the features and capabilities of the 4 models are identical.
Your LevelOne Broadband Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to
provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN can access the Internet through the
LevelOne Broadband Router, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP
Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address
Translation).
DSL & Cable Modem Support. The LevelOne Broadband Router has a 10BaseT
Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems
are supported.

LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide

PPPoE and PPTP Support. The Internet (WAN port) connection supports PPPoE
(PPP over Ethernet) and PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol), as well as "Direct Con-
nection" type services.
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the Leve-
lOne Broadband Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on
connection) and Fixed IP Address.
Advanced Internet Functions
Conferencing & Telephony Applications. Internet Telephony and Conferencing
applications, which are often difficult to use when behind a Firewall, are supported.
Special Internet Applications. Applications which use non-standard connections or
port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow such ap-
plications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.
Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your
LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
DMZ. One (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way
communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability to
run programs which are incompatible with Firewalls.
URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.
Internet Access Log. See which Internet connections have been made.
VPN Support. VPN (Virtual Private Networking) connections using PPTP and IPSec are
transparently supported - no configuration is required.
LAN Features
LAN Ports. Different models are available to cater for your particular needs.
The FBR-1100TX has a single 10/100BaseT LAN connection, the FBR-1400TX and FBR-
1401TX incorporate a 4-port 10/100BaseT switching hub, while the FBR-1700TX incorpo-
rates a 7-port 10/100BaseT switching hub.
DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The LevelOne Broadband Router can act
as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN.
Multi Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more segments are supported,
via the LevelOne Broadband Router's RIP (Routing Information Protocol) support and
built-in static routing table.
Network Printer
The FBR-1401TX and the FBR-1700TX include a parallel printer port, providing the following
features:
Shared Printer (Network Printer). A printer connected to the LevelOne Broadband
Router's parallel port can be shared by all PCs on the LAN.
Multiple OS Support. Clients may use any of the following operating systems:
Windows 95/98/ME
Windows NT 4.0, 2000, or XP.
Unix
Multi-protocol Support. The following printing methods are supported:
Introduction
3
Windows peer-to-peer printing over TCP/IP, using the supplied port driver.
Windows LPD printing, using a Windows Server running NT 4.0 or Windows 2000
Server. In this situation, no software needs to be installed on the client PCs.
Unix LPD printing. No additional software needs to be installed.
Configuration & Management
Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN for configuration.
Remote Management. The LevelOne Broadband Router can be managed from any PC
on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured
via the Internet.
UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and con-
figuration of the LevelOne Broadband Router. UPnP is by supported by Windows ME, XP,
or later.
Security Features
Password - protected Configuration. Optional 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 LevelOne Broadband Router.
Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom-
ing 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 LevelOne
Broadband Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

Installation
This Chapter covers the physical installation of the LevelOne Broadband
Router.
Requirements
Network cable - standard 10/100BaseT network (UTP) cable with RJ45 connectors.
TCP/IP protocol must be installed on all PCs.
DSL or Cable modem, and an Internet Access account with an ISP, for shared Internet
access.
Installation Procedure - FBR-1100TX
Figure 6: Installation Diagram
1. Choose an Installation Site
Select a suitable place on the network to install the LevelOne Broadband Router.
Ensure the LevelOne Broadband Router and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF.
2. Connect LAN Cables
Connect a standard LAN cable from a 10BaseT or 100BaseT Hub on your LAN to the
"LAN" port on the LevelOne Broadband Router.
2
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide
16
3. Connect WAN Cable
Connect the DSL or Cable modem to the WAN port on the LevelOne Broadband Router.
Use the cable supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was supplied, use a stan-
dard cable.
4. Power Up
Power on the Cable or DSL modem.
Connect the supplied power adapter to the LevelOne Broadband Router and power up.
Use only the power adapter provided. Using a different one may cause hardware damage
5. Check the LEDs
When the LevelOne Broadband Router is powered On, the Data/Status LED should flash
Orange, then turn Green. If it stays Orange, or flashes Orange/Green, there is a hardware
problem.
The WAN Data LED (on the top) should be ON.
The LAN Link LED (beside the LAN connection) should be ON.
The WAN Link LED (beside the WAN connection) should be ON.
For more information, refer to LEDs - FBR-1100TX in Chapter 1.
