1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the DSE Broadband Router. This Broadband Router includes 4
10/100Mbps switch ports and a USB printer port. It provides a complete solution for Internet
surfing and office resources sharing. This 4 Port Internet Broadband Router provides a simple,
efficient, and cost-effective solution for LAN/Internet, especially for SOHO (Small Office/Home
Office) users to share the Internet resources simultaneously using one ISP (Internet Service
Provider) account.
In addition, this broadband router built-in USB Printer Server allows users to share a networked
printer. Besides, with some firewall functions, the 4 Port Internet Broadband Router can protect
your LAN from outsider's break-ins while still exposing your local servers such as Web Server,
E-mail Server, FTP server, for remote access by Virtual Server Mapping or DMZ setting.

for the password.
XH1151 – DSE Broadband Router
14
5.2 Basic Setup
After entering the correct user name and password, the first page “Basic Setup” will appear. You
can set up your connection type to your ISP. After you have finished changing any setting, click
the “Apply” button to save.
Host Name & Domain Name: Some ISPs required these names as identification. You may
check with your ISP to see if your Broadband Internet Service has been configured with a host
and domain name. In most cases, leaving fields blank will work.
Private IP Address: The IP Address of this router used by the internal LAN. The default value is
192.168.0.1 for the IP Address and 255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask. In most applications,
you should not have to change the “IP address” from the default (192.168.0.1). However, if you
are setting up your router in an existing network, you may need to change it to match your
current addressing scheme.
Public IP Address: The Public IP Address and Subnet Mask of this router are used by external
users of the Internet (including your ISP). Choose one of connection type, “DHCP”, “PPPoE”,
“Static IP Address” or “PPTP”. Select “DHCP” or “PPPoE” if these values are to be automatically
assigned to the router by your ISP. The default is DHCP. If a fixed Public IP Address is to be
used, select “Static IP Address” and enter the IP Address and Public Subnet Mask provided by
your ISP. “PPTP” mostly used in Europe. Choose this type of connection, if you connect to your
ISP by PPTP. Depending on the option you choose, different settings can be changed
15
5.2.1 DHCP
If your IP Address is provided by your ISP dynamically, choose this option. This is the default
setting.
5.2.2 PPPoE
User Name: Your User Name provided by your ISP.
Password: Your password provided by your ISP.
ISP Name: Your ISP name.
Connect on Demand: When you enable this function, the router will connect to your ISP at your
command.
Disconnect when network idle: You can set the network idle time to disconnect. If you set the
time to “0”, this function will be disabled.
Connect State: This entry will show you the router connection status. You can connect to your
ISP manually by clicking the “Connect Manually” button.
5.2.3 Static IP Address
Static IP Address: Enter the IP Address provided by your ISP.
Public Subnet Mask: Enter the Subnet Mask provided by your ISP.
Default Gateway IP Address: Enter the Gateway IP Address provided by your ISP.
Domain Name Server 1: Enter the Domain Name server Address provided by your ISP.
5.2.4 PPTP
IP Address: Enter the IP Address provided by your ISP.
Subnet Mask: Enter the Subnet Mask provided by your ISP.
Default Gateway: Enter the Gateway IP Address provided by your ISP.
User ID: Enter the User ID provided by your ISP.
Password: Enter the Password provided by your ISP.

during inactivity. To disable this feature, enter “0”.
XH1151 – DSE Broadband Router
16
5.3 DHCP Settings
Unless you already have a DHCP server on your internal network, choose “Enable”. A DHCP
Server can automatically assign IP Address to each computer in your network. It is highly
recommended that you set your broadband router to act as a DHCP server. Be sure to set your
computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address
Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP
settings provided by the router. 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.
Dynamic IP Address: Select “Enable” to use the DHCP server option of the broadband router.
If you already have a DHCP server in your network, set the router’s DHCP option to “Disable”.
Start IP Address: Enter the starting IP address for the DHCP server’s IP assignment. Make
sure the first three octets match the router’s IP address, i.e., 192.168.0.xxx. The value must be
located from 2 to 253.
End IP Address: Enter the end IP address for the DHCP server’s IP assignment. Make sure the
first three octets match the router’s IP address, i.e., 192.168.0.xxx. The value must be located
from 3 to 254.
17
5.3.1 DHCP Client Table
This table will show you how many network computers have been used on your DHCP server
and the IP Address and MAC Address of networked computers connected to the Router. Click
“Reload” to update the information.
5.4 URL Access Setting
Use URL Access filters to allow or deny computers access to specific Internet domains.
URL Access Limit: Choose Enable/Disable to use URL Access filters or not.
Website Access: Select “Block” to deny users to access the specified Internet websites in the
list. Users will be allowed access to all other Internet websites. In contrast, select “Allow” to allow
users to access the specified Internet websites in the list. Users will be denied access to all other
Internet websites.
URL Address: Enter the URL Addresses you want to use, i.e., www.shopping.com. Click “ADD”
and wait for a few seconds. When the upgrade complete message appears, click “Back” and the
URL Address will have been added to the URL List. After you have added the desired websites,
click “Apply” and click “Back”. Restart the router for the settings to take effect.
XH1151 – DSE Broadband Router
18
5.5 IP Access
This function allows network administrators to restrict up to five groups of specified network
users/computers from accessing the certain applications.
Before using this function, the network PCs that you want to control the access limitation should
be assigned fixed IP Address.
LAN IP Range: Enter the range of IP addresses which you want them to be a controlled group to
have the same access limitation.
Protocol: Select the protocol type as “TCP” or “UDP” from the pull down menu. If you are not
sure which one to choose, select “Both”.
Blocked Port: Enter the range of port numbers which are used by the applications you wish to
be blocked.
For example, enter the range of 3~7 in the LAN IP Range column and 1~999 in the Blocked Port
column and select the protocol type as TCP, then click “Apply” button. As a result, the user’s
computers, which have an IP Address in the range of 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.7 will not to be
able to use the applications that use port numbers from 1 to 999 using the TCP protocol.
19
5.6 Virtual Server
The router can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP
services via the public IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN.
The router firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all
networked computers connected the router are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you
can make some of the networked computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual
Server. Depending on the requested service, the router will redirect the external service request
to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
Select: Use the pull-down menu to select from a list of well-known Virtual Server services such
as Web, DNS, FTP, POP3, etc. The related Port Range will be automatically specified. For
example, if you select the “FTP”, the port range will automatically be set to 21~21. If you want to
set it by yourself, you can select the “Manual Setting”.
Note: If the browser is Netscape Navigator 4.7, the “Protocol” column will be not automatically
selected. When you select a specific application, you have to select the protocol by yourself.
Redirect IP Address: The IP address of the networked computer connected to the router that
will be using the virtual Server service.
Port Range: Enter the desired service port numbers.
Protocol: Specify the protocol type as “TCP” or “UDP” from the pull-down menu. If you are not
sure which one to select, choose “Both”.
