Configuring the Ethernet Broadband Router
The DI-704P provides Web based configuration. You can configure your DI-704P
through your Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer browser in MS
Windows, Macintosh or UNIX based platforms.
Start-up and Log in
Activate your browser, and disable the proxy or add the IP address of the
DI-704P into the exceptions . Then, type the IP address of the DI-704P into the
Location (for Netscape) or Address (for IE) field and press “Enter.”For example:
http://192.168.0.1.
After the connection is established, you will see the web user interface. There
are two appearances of web user interface: for general users and for the system
administrator.
To log in as an administrator, enter the system password (the factory setting

is ”admin”) in the System Password field and click on the Log in button. If the
password is correct, the web appearance will be changed into administrator
configure mode. As listed in its main menu, there are several options for system
administration.

Device Information
This option allows you to observe the DI-704P’s working status:
A. Modem Status
B. Printer Status. The possible kinds of printer status include “Ready,” “Not
ready,” “Printing…,” and “Device error.”
When a job is printing, there may appear a “Kill Job” button on the
“Sidenote” column. You can click this button to stop the current
printing job manually.

Useful Tools
This function enables you to change the administrator password, and get
information about the Firmware version and the WAN's MAC Address.
At this window you can:
•View the system logs by clicking the View Log button.
•Restart the DI-704P by clicking the Reboot button.
•Backup your settings by clicking the Backup Setting button and save it as
a bin file. Once you want to restore these settings,please click the
Firmware Upgrade button and use the bin file you saved.
•Click the Clone MAC button to copy the MAC address of your PC to be
the MAC address of this device.
•Click the Reset to Default button to reset the settings of this device to the
default values.
•Upgrade the firmware by clicking the Firmware Upgrade button.
Note: we strongly recommend that you change the system password
for security reasons.

Setup
Before you begin the Setup, you must choose the correct WAN type.
1. LAN IP Address:the DI-704P’s IP address. The default address is
192.168.0.1. You can change the LAN IP Address if needed.
2. WAN Type: your ISP’s WAN Connection type. Click the Change button to
choose from the following five options:
A. Static IP Address:you manually input the IP Address that your ISP
assigned to you.
B. Dynamic IP Address:Obtain an IP address automatically from the
DI-704P’s DHCP Server function.
C. PPP over Ethernet:Some ISPs require the use of PPPoE to connect to
their services.
D. Dial-up Network:To surf the Internet via PSTN/ISDN (a dial-up
modem.)
E. PPTP:Some ISPs require the use of PPTP to connect to their services.
It is specifically for many European ISPs where Alcatel’s ADSL
Network Termination is deployed.

Below are the five WAN types and the fields required to implement them:
1. Static IP Address
Enter the proper setting provided by your ISP for the following fields:
WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary and Secondary DNS
2. Dynamic IP Address
•Host Name: optional. Required by some ISPs, for example, @Home.
•Renew IP Forever: this feature enables the DI-704P to renew the IP
address automatically when the lease time is expired even if the system
is in an idle state.
3. PPP over Ethernet
•PPPoE Account and Password: the account and password your ISP
assigned to you. If you don't want to change the password, leave the
password field blank.
•PPPoE Service Name: (optional) Input the service name if your ISP
requires it.
•Maximum Idle Time: set the length of “no activity” time at which to
disconnect your PPPoE session. Setting it to “0” will disable this
feature.
4. Dial-up Network
•Dial-up Telephone, Accountand Password: assigned by your ISP. If you
don't want to change the password, keep it empty.
•Primary and Secondary DNS: automatically assigned if they are
configured as "0.0.0.0."
•Maximum Idle Time: the length of “no activity” time at which to
disconnect your dial-up session.
•Baud Rate: the communication speed between the DI-704P and your
MODEM or ISDN TA.
•Extra Setting: needed to optimize the communication quality between
the ISP and your MODEM or ISDN TA

5. PPTP
Just follow steps below to configure the PPTP WAN type:
•Set My IP Address as the IP address that the ISP assigned to your PC,
e.g. 10.0.0.140.
•Set My Subnet Mask as the mask that the ISP assigned to your PC, e.g.
255.255.255.0.
•Set Server IP Address as the IP address of the DSL modem, e.g.
10.0.0.138.
•Input the PPTP Accountand Password.
•Input the Connection ID if your ISP requires it.
•Save the setting and restart the router.
•In the Command prompt, type PING 4.0.0.1. If the reply is positive,
the router and your PC have been successfully configured for PPTP
WAN type.
