Technology Introduction
Introduction to Broadband Router Technology
A router is a device that forwards data packets from a source to a destination.
Routers forward data packets using IP addresses and not a MAC address. A router
will forward data from the Internet to a particular computer on your LAN.
The information that makes up the Internet gets moved around using routers. When
you click on a link on a web page, you send a request to a server to show you the
next page. The information that is sent and received from your computer is moved
from your computer to the server using routers. A router also determines the best
route that your information should follow to ensure that the information is delivered
properly.
A router controls the amount of data that is sent through your network by

6
eliminating information that should not be there. This provides security for
the computers connected to your router, because computers from the
outside cannot access or send information directly to any computer on
your network. The router determines which computer the information
should be forwarded to and sends it. If the information is not intended for
any computer on your network, the data is discarded. This keeps any
unwanted or harmful information from accessing or damaging your
network.
Introduction to Firewalls
A firewall is a device that sits between your computer and the Internet that
prevents unauthorized access to or from your network. A firewall can be a
computer using firewall software or a special piece of hardware built
specifically to act as a firewall. In most circumstances, a firewall is used to
prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks or
corporate LAN’s and Intranets.
A firewall watches all of the information moving to and from your network
and analyzes each piece of data. Each piece of data is checked against a
set of criteria that the administrator configures. If any data does not meet
the criteria, that data is blocked and discarded. If the data meets the
criteria, the data is passed through. This method is called packet filtering.
A firewall can also run specific security functions based on the type of
application or type of port that is being used. For example, a firewall can
be configured to work with an FTP or Telnet server. Or a firewall can be
configured to work with specific UDP or TCP ports to allow certain
applications or games to work properly over the Internet.
Introduction to Local Area Networking
Local Area Networking (LAN) is the term used when connecting several
computers together over a small area such as a building or group of
buildings. LAN’s can be connected over large areas. A collection of LAN’s
connected over a large area is called a Wide Area Network (WAN).
A LAN consists of multiple computers connected to each other. There are
many types of media that can connect computers together. The most
common media is CAT5 cable (UTP or STP twisted pair wire.) On the
other hand, wireless networks do not use wires; instead they communicate
over radio waves. Each computer must have a Network Interface Card
(NIC), which communicates the data between computers. A NIC is usually
a 10Mbps network card, or 10/100Mbps network card, or a wireless
network card.
Most networks use hardware devices such as hubs or switches that each
cable can be connected to in order to continue the connection between
computers. A hub simply takes any data arriving through each port and
forwards the data to all other ports. A switch is more sophisticated, in that
a switch can determine the destination port for a specific piece of data. A
switch minimizes network traffic overhead and speeds up the communication over

7
a network.
Networks take some time in order to plan and implement correctly. There
are many ways to configure your network. You may want to take some
time to determine the best network set-up for your needs.

Getting Started
Installation Location
The DI-604UP can be positioned at any convenient place in your office or
house. No special wiring or cooling requirements are needed. However,
you should comply with the following guidelines:
Place the DI-604UP on a flat horizontal plane.
Keep away from any heating devices.
Do not place in a dusty or wet environment.
The recommended operational specifications of the DI-604UP are:
Temperature 32 ~ 113℉℉
Humidity 10% ~ 95%
In addition, remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from
the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you install the hardware.
Network Settings
To use the DI-604UP correctly, you have to properly configure the network
settings of your computers. The default IP address of the DI-604UP is
192.168.0.1, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These
addresses can be changed as needed, but the default values are used in
this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your computer has not yet been
configured, you can refer to Configuring Your PCs to Connect to the
DI-604UP to configure it.
For example:
1. Configure your computer IP as 192.168.0.3, subnet mask as
255.255.255.0 and gateway as 192.168.0.1
Or more conveniently
2. Configure your computers to obtain TCP/IP settings automatically
from the DHCP server feature of the DI-604UP
Since the IP address of the DI-604UP is 192.168.0.1, the IP address of your
computer must be 192.168.0.X (where “X” is a number between 2 and
254.) Each computer on your network must have a different IP address
within that range. The default gateway must be 192.168.0.1 (the IP
address of the DI-604UP).

11
Using the Configuration Wizard
The DI-604UP provides an embedded Web-based management utility
making it operating system independent. You can configure your DI-604UP
through the Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer browser in MS
Windows, Macintosh, Linux or UNIX based platforms. All that is needed is
a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator version 4
and higher with Java Script enabled.
Start-up and Log in
Activate your web browser and type in the IP address of the DI-604UP into
the Location (for Netscape) or Address (for IE) field and press “Enter.” The
default IP address of the DI-604UP is
192.168.0.1
After the connection is established, the logon screen will pop up.
To log in as an administrator, enter the username of “admin” and the
password (there are no default password, leave it blank). Click the OK
button. If the password is correct, the web-management interface will
appear.
Open your Web
browser and type
“http://192.168.0.1” into
the URL address box.
Then press the Enter or
Return key.
Type “admin” for
the username and
leave the password
field blank.
Click OK

12
The Home > Wizard window will appear. Please refer to the Quick Installation
Guide for more information regarding the Setup Wizard.
These buttons appear on most of the configuration windows in this section. Please
click on the appropriate button at the bottom of each window after you have made a
configuration change.
Note: if you have changed the default IP Address assigned to the DI-604UP, make sure to enter the
correct IP Address.
