Federal Communication Commission Interference
Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, (example - use only shielded interface cables
when connecting to computer or peripheral devices) any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC - Part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. This equipment comes with a label
attached to it that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and
ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be
provided to the telephone company.
This equipment uses the following jacks: RJ-11.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the
telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in
response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not
exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum
REN for the calling area.

This equipment cannot be used on telephone company-provided coin service. Connection to
Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs.
When programing and/or making test calls to emergency numbers:
• Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.
• Perform such activities in off-peak hours such as early morning or late evenings.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a
computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone facsimile machine
unless such message clearly contains, in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted
page or on the first page of the transmission the date and time it is sent and an identification
of the business, other entity, or individual sending the message and the telephone number of
the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual.
In order to program this information into your facsimile, refer to your communications
software user manual.
Industry Canada - Class B
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from
digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital
Apparatus,” ICES-003 of Industry Canada.

I NTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Ethernet ADSL Router
(ARION3100/3200). We are proud to provide you with a powerful yet
simple communication device for connecting your local area network
(LAN) to the Internet. For those who want to surf the Internet in the most
secure way, this router provides a convenient and powerful solution.
About the ADSL Router
The ADSL Router provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a
single-user account. This new technology provides many secure and
cost-effective functions. It is simple to configure and can be up and
running in minutes.

F EATURES AND B ENEFITS

Features and Benefits
• Internet connection to an ADSL modem via an RJ-11 ADSL port
• Local network connection via a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port
• DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name
mapping
• Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion
detection, and NAT
• NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account,
and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet
services such as Web, FTP, email, and Telnet)
• VPN pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP)
• User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications
requiring multiple connections
• Easy setup through a Web browser on any operating system that
supports TCP/IP
• Compatible with all popular Internet applications

I NTRODUCTION

Applications
Many advanced networking features are provided by the Arion 3100/3200:
•WiredLAN
The ADSL Router provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices,
making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.
• Internet Access
This device supports Internet access through an ADSL connection.
Since many ADSL providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to establish
communications with end users, the ADSL Router includes built-in
clients for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these
services on your computer.
• Shared IP Address
The ADSL Router provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a
single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users
on your network can browse the Web at the same time.
•VirtualServer
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the ADSL Router to act as
a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access
various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then,
depending on the requested service (or port number), the ADSL
Router can route the request to the appropriate server (at another
internal IP address). This secures your network from direct attack by
hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to
change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your
network.

A PPLICATIONS

• DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet.
This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an
Internet application from functioning correctly.
• Security
The ADSL Router supports security features that deny Internet access
to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services that the
administrator does not want to serve. The ADSL Router’s firewall also
blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack,
Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port
loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding.
• Virtual Private Network (VPN Pass-through)
The ADSL Router supports three of the most commonly used VPN
protocols – PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. The VPN protocols supported
by the ADSL Router are briefly described below.
• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol – Provides a secure tunnel for
remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes
provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs.
• L2TP merges the best features of PPTP and L2F – Like PPTP,
L2TP requires that the ISP’s routers support the protocol.
• IP Security – Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can
support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using
digital certificates for device authentication.

Hardware Description
The ADSL Router contains an integrated ADSL modem and connects to
the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-11 port. It can be connected
directly to your PC or to a local area network using the Fast Ethernet LAN
port. Also you can use the USB port for connecting you PC to the Internet
while retaining the RJ-45 LAN connection.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL
provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 kbps upstream. G.lite (or
splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 kbps
upstream. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by
specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.
