INTRODUCTION
With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and
services at any time, day or night has become a standard requirement
for most people. The era of the standalone PC is waning. Networking
technology is moving out of the exclusive domain of corporations and
into homes with at least two computers.
Broadband network access is also gaining ground. However, allowing
more than two computers to access the Internet at the same time
means less affordable, higher costs. Thus, there is a need to share one
legal IP address over a single Internet connection to link the home
with the Internet.
The scarcity of IP addresses and using a shared Internet connection
through an Internet sharing device can solve high network access costs.
All linked computers can make full use of broadband capabilities over
such a device.
This device not only comes equipped with a wide range of features,
but also can be installed and configured right out of the box. This
device supports a simple local area network and Internet access share,
offering great cost savings.
The local area network connects up home computers while also
allowing any of the computers to access the Internet, share resources,
or play online games—the basis of the family computing lifestyle.
Applications:
Broadband Internet access:
Several computers can share one high-speed broadband connection
(LAN and WAN-Internet).

4
Resource sharing:
Share resources such as printers, scanners and other peripherals.
File sharing:
Exchange data, messages, and distribute files thus making good use of
hard disk space.
Online gaming:
Through the local area network, online gaming and e-commerce
services can be easily setup.
Firewall:
Abuilt-in firewall function —for security and anti-hack system.
Features:
ØSupports NAT for share 1 IP address to all LAN user.
ØSupports PPPoE and PPTP protocol for Dial-Up ADSL.
ØSupports DHCP Server / Client.
ØSupports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play).
ØSupports virtual server mapping.
ØSupports packet filtering.
ØSimple Firewall protection.
ØUpgradeable firmware for future function.
ØSimple setting using Quick Setup.
ØEasy configuration via WEB Browser.

POWER
This indicator lights green when the hub is receives power, otherwise,
it is off.
SYSTEM
This indicator blinksgreen meansthe Internet Broadband Router is
working successful. Otherwise, this indicator always on or off means
the function of the Internet Broadband Router is fail.
WAN (Link/ACT)
This indicator lights green when the WAN port is connected to an
xDSL/Cable modem successfully.
This indicator blinksgreen while the WAN port is transmitting or
receiving data on the xDSL/Cable modem.

LAN (Link/ACT)
From port 1 to port 4/8 indicator lights green when the LAN port is
connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet station, if the indicator blinks

WAN
In the four port broadband router, there are two RJ-45 ports for the
WAN, the port can be either connected to “II”which is for hub/switch
or “X”port for crossover, and this will fit the xDSL/Cable modem’s
specification need.
In the eight port broadband router, the WAN port was default to
connect to hub/switch, if the WAN port still can’t link to the
broadband modem and the WAN port “Link/Act”LED didn’t indicate,
try to change to straight through or crossover cable to fit the
broadband modem specification, and check the WAN port LED
indicator.
NOTE: Only one port can be plug-in to the WAN port, either the “II”port or “X”port.

LAN (1-4/8)
Four RJ-45 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ports for connecting to either
10Mbps or 100Mbps Ethernet connections.
RESET
Use a pin-shape item to push to reset this device to factory default
settings. It will be useful too when the manager forgot the password to

Connect the Internet Broadband Router
1. Plug in one end of the network cable to the WAN port of the four
port Internet Broadband Router, either the “X” or “II” port,
depending on the specification of the broadband modem used.
2. Plug in the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port of
the xDSL or Cable modem.
3. Use another network cable to connect to the Ethernet card on the
computer system. The other end of the cable connects to one of
the LAN ports of the Internet Broadband Router.

Check the installation
The control LEDs of the Internet Broadband Router are clearly visible
and the status of the network link can be seen instantly:
1. With the power source on, once the device is connected to the
broadband modem, the Power, System, LAN and WAN port link
LEDs of the Internet Broadband Router will light up indicating a
normal status.
2. By using a Straight Through Cable on the four port broadband
router, the WAN’s “X”port must connect to MDI uplink port,
and the WAN’s “II”
port must connect to MDII regular port.
3. If the WAN Port’sLink indicator does not light up then replace
the RJ-45 cable that plugged onto WAN’s “X”port to the “II”
port or from the “II”port to the “X”port at the rear or using a
crossover cable to connect on the WAN port to meet the
specification need of the xDSL or Cable modem.
4. While the LAN port is linked to the computer system, the LAN
port’s Link/ACT LED will light up.
