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
only externally recognized server device on your local area network (LAN). Thus even a non-technical person
will easily configure it to meet the different application.
This product does not only provide a complete solution to share the Internet bandwidth, it also serves as an
Internet Firewall to protect your LAN data from being accessed by outside intruder/hacker . Since all incoming
data packets have been analyzed/monitored, all unwanted packet may be filtered-out and be recorded as an
intrusion event. EE400-R can also be configured to block some internal LAN user’s access to the Internet for
management purpose.
Secure Internet Access via Cable/DSL Modem.
Features
lConnects to 10/100M Broadband (cable or DSL) modem or Ethernet backbone for Internet
Surfing.
lMultiple WAN connection type:
Static IP : for lease line or router-router interconnect.
DHCP client :for most cable modem service.
PPPoE : for Dial-up ADSL service,
PPTP client : for some European Dial-up ADSL or L2-VPN application
lEquipped with a 4-port 10/100M switched Hub for LAN users.
lDHCP Server/ DNS proxy support (can save an extra PC/Server in LAN).
All the networked computers in LAN can retrieve TCP/IP setting (IP address, subnet mask, gateway,
DNS,IP…) automatically from this device.
lSimultaneously act as both DHCP Server on the LAN and a DHCP Client on the WAN for most
easy application.
lConnects multiple LAN PCs to the Internet with only one dynamic-assigned IP address (NAT
mode) or a range of legal IP address (NAT/Routing mode)
lWeb-based Configuring
Configurable through any networked computer’s web browsers using Internet Explorer or Netscape
browser.
lAllow/Deny remote administration through WAN connection by Web browser.
lFirewall capability to protect LAN PCs from outside intruder access/attack.
Avoid unwanted packet from WAN and provide a system event log to record intrusion information.
(date/time, source IP address & port …)
lLAN user Access privilege
Administrator can arrange interior LAN user’s access privilege to Internet by IP address, TCP/IP port

6
service, URL name keywords and 24-hour time zone.
lVirtual 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 deployment for Internet servers.
lDMZ (De-Militarized Zone) Host
Administrator can totally expose a host PC in LAN to the Internet without any firewall protection
mechanism. This option allows a full two-way communication between the local host PC and remote
Internet node. (ex. bi-directional games, video/audio conferences …)
Multi DMZ Host support
In static IP configuration with a range of legal IP address, Administrator could totally expose
more host PCs in LAN to the Internet according to LAN/WAN IP address mapping.

There is actually 3 Major sections in each installation. First it is Physical. Turning on devices
turning off devices plugging cables etc. Second there is the Connecting your Computer to
the Router step. Then third it is the connecting your router to the Internet step. The
installation for MacOS is the same to PC section 1 and 3. So in part 3 we will teach users
only Section 2 of the step which is How to connect your Computer to the Router.
