Introduction

The BroadBand Router is an integrated Internet IP sharing device with a built-in 4-

port 10/100Mbps N-Way Fast Ethernet switch. Its superb throughput as high as up to

80Mbps between Internet and LAN makes it 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.

This product also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being

accessed by outside users. All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered. The

Router can also be configured to filter internal users’ access to the Internet.

The built-in 4-port Fast Ethernet Switch lets users plug the network cable into the

device without buying additional Hub/Switch.

during installation. If your ISPs require MAC address

registration, find your adapter’s MAC address by doing

the following:

Under Windows 95 or 98: Click

Start

Run

, type in

“

winipcfg

”, and select the network adapter (not PPP

adapter).

Under Windows ME

2000 or XP: Click Start

Configuration via Web

Before you start setting up this IP Sharing via browser-based web configuration, make

sure:

•

Assuming the workstation’s TCP/IP is set to obtain IP automatically and the IP

Sharing Device’s Local Port is set to “Distribute IP” (default), and all the cables are

connected correctly, you are now ready to configure this device via Web Browser.

Open the browser, enter the local port IP address (default at 192.168.1.254) of the

IP Sharing Device, and click “Go” to get the login page.

Figure 3

No user name is required. The default password is left blank. If you have set a

password, enter that and click

to continue.

Figure 4

At the setup home page, the left navigation pane where bookmarks are provided links

you directly to the desired setup page. You can select Internet Port, Local Port,

Management, Virtual Server, Packet Filter, Static Router, Dynamic DNS, Network

Status (WAN IP Status, Session List, Users List), Factory Reset, Save Configuration,

Firmware Upgrade

Click on the desired setup item to expand the page in the main navigation pane. The

setup pages covered in this utility are described below.

For users who are using Cable Modem

Internet service.

PPPoE (DSL dynamic mode)

For users who are using xDSL Internet

service that runs PPPoE. If your xDSL

service uses PPPoE, after installing the

IP Sharing device, do not run PPPoE

software on your computers.

Static configuration

Select this item when the ISP assigns

static IP address for your account.

- 10 -

CATV dynamic Mode

Selecting this mode enables you to obtain dynamic IP address from your ISP via DHCP

support. Once the IP address is obtained, you can access the Internet.

For most cases, this page needs no input. However, some ISPs may require some

information for identification purpose. For example: Device/Computer name and

Domain Name; please enter the information required to complete the settings.

DNS Server

Select Dynamic or Static. Enter the information of

Primary and Secondary DNS Server provided by your

ISP when Static configuration is selected.

PPPoE (DSL dynamic Mode)

If this mode is selected and settings are saved, this IP sharing device will be connected

to the Internet over an always-on connection by a method provided by PPPoE. PPPoE

offers simulated dial-up software like Microsoft Dial-Up Networking, which save

users’ time and effort to run the program on their PCs. And the auto-connect/disconnect

feature lets the system to stay idle when there’s no activity, but pick up the connection

in no time when there’s network activity. This can significantly save users’ cost on

connection fees.

The TCP MSS function lets you choose the maximum packet size that fits your need for

optimal throughput. To reduce the packet size can help connecting to certain web sites

or speeding up packet to be received/sent.

Local Port

This screen contains settings for LAN interface attached to the local network. You can

set to distribute IP address to local PCs or not. If “Distribute IP address to local

computer” is selected, users can enter the IP addresses assigned for the computers on

LAN. The number of IP address decides the number of clients allowed for the assigned

IP addresses. Note that all the PC on the same LAN should use the same subnet Mask.

Users can also set Static DHCP in this page. Users are allowed to set 32 Static DHCP.

Using this feature, the device will assign the same IP address to a computer (according

to the network adapter’s MAC address) and this computer becomes the only one able to

request that IP address. This is quite useful to set virtual serveres which requires

particulary fixed IP for outside Internet access.
