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.
