The Vigor2300 router provides multiple users with efficient and reliable
access over a DSL line, or Cable Modem service to the Internet and
corporate LAN for using E-mail, sharing documents, Web surfing, file
transfers, etc.
The broadband access protocol supports PPPoE, PPTP, Dynamic IP(DHCP)
and Static IP. These protocols comply with worldwide
Ethernet-based DSL/Cable Modem standards.
More than that, it also provides firewall and Virtual Private Networking
(VPN) features to protect your local area network when connecting to

The Vigor2300 router provides many built-in server and
software features to provide a convenient comprehensive solution
for your SOHO network.
For DSL
users, the router has a built-in PPPoE client for establishing a
connection with the ISP. There is no need to install a further PPPoE
driver on your computers.
Some DSL
modems (e.g. Alcatel modems) only provide a PPTP local connection
for an end user computer. The router has a built-in PPTP client for
establishing a connection for your local network. There is no need to
install a PPTP client driver on your computers.
In most
cable modem environments, the router supports a DHCP client on the
WAN port. They can automatically get IP network settings from a cable
head-end access server.
For most dynamic IP users, the client
can update the WAN IP address to the registered DDNS provider when
the WAN IP has been changed.
For the router, the
client can get network time information from the specfied time server
and provide a time base for call scheduling usage.
WAN Features
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) Client:
Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol (PPTP) Client:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client:
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) Client:
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Client:

1.4 Detailed Features

Network Features
The server
provides an easy-to-configure function for your local IP network. It can
automatically assign IP network configurations for local PCs, such as IP
address, IP netmask, gateway IP address, and Domain Name server etc.
The DNS proxy maintains a
DNS cache, including a mapping table of domain names and IP
addresses. The proxy also remembers DNS query packets sent through
the router and saves them into its own DNS cache. For enhanced speed,
when a DNS query packet enters the router, the proxy searches its local
DNS cache. If matched, the router sends an answer to the host that sent
the DNS query packet. Only unmatched DNS queries require querying a
WAN Domain Name Server.
Multi-NAT
allows multiple SOHO users to concurrently connect to an Internet
Service Provider (ISP) via a single Internet access account or multiple
statically-assigned IP addresses.
Used in most
LAN-to-LAN applications. The RIP protocol exchanges routing
information between routers.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server:
Domain Name Server (DNS) Proxy:
Mutiple Network Address Translation (Multi-NAT):
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Support:

Security Features
The VPN function enables linking of remote Networks via the Internet
through authenticated and secure tunnels.
RAS provides remote dial-in access
services for home workers, branch offices, or telecommuters. The router
offer 10 dial-in user profiles, including an authentication mechanism
through CHAP/PAP and Calling Line Identification (CLID), secure
callback functions, and 16 Lan-to-Lan Dialer Profiles, etc.
When a dial-in user is coming and the user account is not included in
router database. The client will issue a login request which must include
a shared secret with the RADIUS server. These extended accounts will
keep in the server database.
In addition to the built-in NAT mechanism, the router features
another powerful firewall to protect your local network, or to deny
specified local user's access to unauthorized network services.

Management Features
A Web browser is the most common tool used to
surf the Internet. You may use or
browser, to configure the router as easily as surfing a website.
The Telnet User Interface (TUI) is an efficient
method of configuring and managing routers. It utilizes a traditional
command-line user interface and is mainly for advanced configuration,
management, and troubleshooting.
The system manager can remotely manage
the routers through an ISDN remote dial-in, or ISDN or DSL/Cable
WAN interface.
The Flash ROM memory saves the router firmware
and configurations, even after power down.
Using this server and the
software, you may easily upgrade to the
latest firmware whenever enhanced features are added.

1. Connect the router to the power adapter and an Ethernet cable
between a PC and any one of the four ports switch hub in the router.
2. If the PC is set to obtain IP address automatically(recommended),
reboot the PC and ensure that it has obtained an IP address from the
router(you can use Windows winipcfg.exe or ipconfig.exe to check).
The Vigor2300 router uses web configuration, you can use it very easy.
Please follow the instructions closely, step by step.
