Chapter 1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this outstanding Broadband Router EE400-R. This product is the
perfect option to connect a group of PCs to a high-speed Broadband Internet connection or to an
Ethernet based Backbone (ETTH/ETTB: Ethernet To The Home/Building). Configurable as a DHCP
server, this product is the onl
y
externall
y
reco
g
nized server device on
y
our local area network
(
LAN
)
.
Thus even a non-technical person will easil
y
confi
g
ure it to meet the different applications.
This product does not onl
y
provide a complete solution to share the Internet bandwidth, it also serves as
an Internet Firewall to protect
y
our LAN data from bein
g
accessed b
y
outside intrude
r
s/hacke
r
s
(
Fi
g
ure
1-1). Since all incoming data packets have been analyzed/monitored, they may be filtered-out and
recorded as an intrusion event. It can also be configured to block some internal LAN users’ access
to the Internet for management purpose.
Fi
g
ure 1-1 Secure Internet Access via Cable/DSL Modem.
1.1 Features
Connects to 10/100Mbps Broadband (cable or DSL) modem or Ethernet backbone for Internet
Multiple WAN connection type: Static IP (NAT/routing mode), DHCP client (e.g. cable
modem), PPPoE (e.g. Dial-up ADSL service) and PPP
Supports PPP (e.g. V.90/ISDN modem) dial-up.
Equipped with a 4-port 10/100Mbps switched Hub for LAN users.
DHCP Server/ DNS proxy support (can save an extra PC/Server in LAN).

TCP/IP port service, URL name keywords and 24-hour time zone.
V
irtual Server (Port forwarding) function
Internet servers (WWW, FTP, E-mail) in LAN could be virtually exposed to WAN for outside
Internet user access. This is a useful and secure network deplo
y
ment for Internet servers.
DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) Host
A
dministrator can completel
y
expose a host PC in LAN to the Internet without an
