I NTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Arion3100-4 Family ADSL Router,
hereafter referred to as the “ADSL Router”. 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. Support is provided for both wired and wireless
devices. New technology provides wireless security via Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) encryption and MAC address filtering. It is simple to
configure and can be up and running in minutes.
Features and Benefits
• Internet connection to an ADSL modem via an RJ-11 ADSL port
• Local network connection via four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports
• On-board IEEE 802.11g wireless network adapter for Arion 3100-4g
• DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name
mapping

I NTRODUCTION
1-2
• 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
Applications
Many advanced networking features are provided by the ADSL Router:
• Wireless and Wired LAN
The ADSL Router provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices,
and wireless IEEE 802.11g compatible 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 DSL 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.

A PPLICATIONS
1-3
• 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.
• Virtual Server
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.
• 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. WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy), SSID, and MAC filtering provide security
over the network.

System Requirements
You must meet the following minimum requirements:
• ADSL line installed by your Internet Service Provider.
• A PC using a fixed IP address or dynamic IP address assigned via
DHCP, as well as a gateway server address and DNS server address
from your service provider.
• A computer equipped with a 10/100 Mbps network adapter, a
USB-to-Ethernet converter or an IEEE 802.11g wireless network
adapter.
• TCP/IP network protocols installed on each PC that will access the
Internet.
• A Java-enabled web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5
or above, installed on one PC at your site for configuring the ADSL
Router.
Hardware Description
The ADSL Router contains an integrated ADSL modem and connects to
the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-11 WAN port. It can be
connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the
four Fast Ethernet LAN ports.
Data passing between devices connected to your local area network can
run at up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports and 54 Mbps over the
built-in wireless network adapter for Arion 3100-4g.
The ADSL Router includes an LED display on the front panel for system
power and port indications that simplifies installation and network
troubleshooting. It also provides the following ports on the rear panel:
