2.2 Procedure for Hardware Installation
1. Decide where to place your Wireless Broadband Router:
You can place your Wireless Broadband Router on a desk or other secure surface, or
you can mount it on a wall. For optimal performance, place your Wireless Broadband
Router in the center of your office (or your home) in a location that is away from any
potential source of interference, such as a metal wall or microwave oven. This
location must be close to power and a network connection.

REV: 101404 6
2. Setup LAN connection:
a. Wired LAN connection: connect an Ethernet cable from your computer’s Ethernet
port to one of the LAN ports of the DI-713.
b. Wireless LAN connection: make sure the antennas are in a vertical position (if not,
rotate over 90 degrees).
3. Setup WAN connection: prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting the DI-713 to your
cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet backbone. Figure 2-3 illustrates the WAN
connection.
Figure 2-3 Setup of LAN and WAN connections for the DI-713.

REV: 101404 7
4. Power on:
Connect the power cord to a power outlet and turn the power switch to the on
position; the DI-713 will automatically enter the self-test phase. When it is in the self-
test phase, the indicators M1 and M2 will be lit for about 10 seconds, and then M1
and M2 will flash 3 times to indicate that the self-test operation has finished. Finally,
the M1 will continuously flash once per second to indicate that the DI-713 is in
normal operation.

REV: 101404 8
Chapter 3 Network Settings
To use the DI-713 correctly, you must properly configure the network settings of your
computers.
3.1 Make Correct Network Settings to the Computer
The default IP address of the DI-713 is 192.168.0.1, and the default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed to meet your need, 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 Appendix B to configure it. For example,
1. configure IP as 192.168.0.5, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as
192.168.0.1, or,
2. configure your computers to load TCP/IP setting automatically, that is, via DHCP
server built into the DI-713.
After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol, you can use the ping command to
check if your computer has successfully connected to the DI-713. The following example
shows the ping procedure for Windows 95 platforms. First, execute the ping command
from a DOS window
ping 192.168.0.1
If the following messages appear:
Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.0.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64
a communication link between your computer and the DI-713 has been successfully
established. Otherwise, if you get the following messages,
Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
there must be something wrong with the installation. Follow the steps again to make sure
the network settings are correct. You should check the following items in sequence.
1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the DI-713 and your computer?
Tip: The LAN LED of the DI-713 and the link LED of network card on your
computer must be lit.
2. Is the TCP/IP environment of your computers properly configured?
Tip: If the IP address of the DI-713 is 192.168.0.1, the IP address of your computer
must be 192.168.0.X and default gateway must be 192.168.0.1.

REV: 101404 9
Chapter 4 Configuring the DI-713
The DI-713 provides a Web based configuration scheme, that is, configuring by Netscape
Communicator or Internet Explorer. This approach can be adopted in any MS Windows,
Macintosh or UNIX based platforms a Java compliant browser.
4.1 Start-up and Log in
Activate your browser. Then, type the DI-713’s IP address in 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 of the DI-713.
There are two appearances of web user interface: for general users and for 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.

REV: 101404 10
4.2 Status
This option provides observation of the DI-713’s configuration status. If the WAN port is
assigned a dynamic IP address, a “Renew” or “Release” button may appear. You can click
this button to manually renew or release the IP. This screen also provides the Firmware
Version and MAC Address information. Pressing the Refresh button will update the
Device Information screen to show the current status.

REV: 101404 11
4.3 Toolbox
This option enables you to change the administrator password, view log information,
reboot the DI-713, clone the MAC Address, reset to default settings, and perform a
firmware upgrade.
Note: we strongly recommend you to change the system password for security reasons. If
you forgot the system password, please refer to Appendix A to reset a new one.

REV: 101404 12
4.4 Primary Setup
This option is crucial to enable the DI-713 to work properly. The setting items and the
web appearance will change depending on the WAN type you choose. Choose the correct
WAN type before you start.
1. LAN IP Address: the DI-713’s IP address. The default address is 192.168.0.1. You
can change it to meet your need.
2. WAN Type: WAN connection type of your ISP. You can click the Change button to
choose the correct setting from the following four options:
A. Static IP Address: your ISP assigns you an IP address.
B. Dynamic IP Address: Obtain an IP address from your ISP automatically.
C. PPP over Ethernet: Some ISPs require the use of PPPoE to connect to their
services. This requires a Username and Password provided by the ISP.
D. Dial-up Network : Connection to the Internet via PSTN/ISDN modem.

REV: 101404 13
4.4.1 Static IP Address
Enter the proper WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary and Secondary DNS
settings provided by your ISP. Contact your ISP if you do not have this information.
4.4.2 Dynamic IP Address
1. Host Name: optional. Required by some ISPs, for example, @Home.
2. Renew IP Forever: this feature enables the DI-713 to renew its IP address
automatically when the lease time is being expired even if the system is idle.
4.4.3 PPP over Ethernet
1. PPPoE Account and Password : the account and password your ISP assigned to you.
If you don't want to change the password, keep it empty.
2. PPPoE Service Name: optional. Input the service name if your ISP requires it.
3. Maximum Idle Time: the maximum time the connection is idle before you are
disconnected from your ISP and your PPPOE session is terminated.
4.4.4 Dial-up Network
1. Dial-up Telephone,Account and Password: assigned by your ISP. If you don't want
to change the password, keep it empty.
2. Primary and Secondary DNS: automatically assigned if they are configured as
"0.0.0.0."
3. Maximum Idle Time: the time of no activity to disconnect your dial-up session.
4. Baud Rate: the communication speed between the DI-713 and your MODEM or
ISDN TA.
5. Extra Setting: needed to optimize the communication quality between the ISP and
your MODEM or ISDN TA

REV: 101404 14
4.5 DHCP Server
The settings of a TCP/IP environment include Host IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS
configurations. It is not a simple task to correctly configure all the computers in your LAN
environment. Fortunately, DHCP provides a rather simple approach to handle all these
settings. The DI-713 supports the function of a DHCP server, which is set as default. The
DHCP server is able to configure of your computers to “automatic receive IP settings”
mode, then when your computer is powered on, it will automatically load the proper
TCP/IP settings from the DI-713. The settings of DHCP server options include the
following items:
1. DHCP Server: Choose “Disable” or “Enable.”
2. Range of IP Address Pool: Whenever there is a request, the DHCP server will
automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the
requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP
address pool.
3. Domain Name: Optional, this information will be passed to the client.

REV: 101404 15
4.6 Virtual Server
The DI-713’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all
hosts behind the DI-713 are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make
some of them accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping.
A virtual server is defined as a Service Port,and all requests to this port will be redirected
to the computer specified by the Server IP.
For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.0.5, a Web server (port 80) at
192.168.0.7, and a VPN server at 192.168.123.10, then you need to specify the following
virtual server mapping table:
Service Port Server IP Enable
21 192.168.0.5 V
80 192.168.0.7 V
1723 192.168.0.10 V

REV: 101404 16
4.7 Special AP
Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing,
Internet telephony and so on. Due to the firewall function, these applications cannot work
with a pure NAT router. The Special Applications options allow some of these
applications to work with a NAT router. If Special Applications is still insufficient to
allow an application to function correctly, try DMZ host in the Misc Items options.
1. Trigger: the outbound port number the application issued first.
2. Incoming Ports: when the trigger packet is detected, the inbound packets to the
specified port numbers are allowed to pass the firewall.
The DI-713 provides some predefined settings in the gray pad on the bottom of the web
page. Choose the Popular application and click Copy to copy the predefined setting.
Note! At any time, only one PC can use each Special Application tunnel.

REV: 101404 17
4.8 Access Control
Access Control allows you to assign different access rights for different users. First, you
have to divide users into different groups. Users are identified by their IP addresses. You
can assign the members of Group 1, 2 and 3. The others are all members of the Default
Group. Second, you have to assign the access rights of each group. Access rights can
allow or block users to access specified TCP and UDP ports. For example: If you want IP
addresses 50-99 to block access to port 21 and 119, you would insert 50-99 into the Group
1 members box. Change the Ports drop-down box to Block, and type 21,119 into the box
to the right of the Block box.
Group Members Access Right Comments
Default - Allow () No access rights (allow nothing)
Group 1 50-99 Allow (25,53) Can browse(80), receive(110) and
send(25) email only
Group 2 100-199 Block (21,119) Cannot read net news(119) and
FTP(21) only
Group 3 1-9,20 Block () Fully access (block nothing)

REV: 101404 18
4.9 Misc Items
1. IP Address of DMZ Host: DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) Host is a host without the
protection of firewall. It allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted 2-way
communication. Note that, this feature should be used only when needed.
2. Remote Administrator Host: In general, only Intranet user can browse the built-in
web pages to perform administration tasks. This feature enables you to perform
administration tasks from a remote host. If this feature is enabled, only the specified
IP address can perform remote administration. If the specified IP address is 0.0.0.0,
any host can connect to the DI-713 to perform administration task. When this feature
is enabled, the web port will be shifted to 88.
