case, you may be compelled to reboot your entire system(s).
2.2 Installing the Router
This section will discuss what you should do before connecting your router to the network and how to physically
install it. The MDENR100 Cable/DSL Router fits into Quicknetwork panels. The HBENR100 Cable/DSL Router fits
into SuperPro panels.

-4-
To install the MDENR100 into a QuickNetwork panel, place the unit into the panel and align module into a free 6
inch slot with snap rivets engaged. Once the rivets are aligned with the holes, pull out the plungers and push the
module in ½ inch until it is fully seated. Secure the module in place by pushing in the plungers. Plug the power
adapter into the back of the unit and then plug the transformer into a 110V power outlet to power the unit up.
To install the HBENR100 into a SuperPro panel, remove one of the 1.75-inch blank plates to free up a slot at the
bottom of the panel. Install the HBENR100 from the front side of the SuperPro panel and secure with the four 6/32
¾-inch screws that are provided. Plug the power adapter into the back of the unit and then plug the transformer
into a 110V power outlet to power the unit up.

Figure 3-3 The “Home” page of the Utility Menu Screen
3.2.1 PPPoE Connection for WAN
If your ISP uses PPPoE (Point-to-Point Over Ethernet) to establish communications with end-users, you will
receive information such as User Name and Password from them. To set up a PPPoE connection for WAN,
follow the instructions as shown in Figure 3-4 Cable/DSL Setup Menu Screen and Figure 3-5 Cable/DSL Setup
Menu with “No” Option Screen. Then, you need to configure the following values to make your router work. (See
Figure 3-6 PPPoE Menu Screen)
- User Name and Password
Fill in the entries with the information you get from your ISP.
- Service Name
If your ISP provides this info, please type it into the field.
- Connect on Demand
If you have been disconnected due to inactivity, Connect on Demand will enable you to establish a
connection again between your Router and ISP.
- Max Idle Time
The Max Idle time is the amount of time you would like to pass before the Router drops your Internet
connection due to inactivity. Enter zero (0) in the field to remain Internet connection on at all time. The idle
time ranges from 0 to 60 minutes.

3.2.2 Fixed IP for WAN
If your ISP has assigned your home a static IP address (See Appendix A Static and Dynamic IP Address), you may
connect to the Internet by using a fixed, or static address. To set up a Fixed IP for WAN, do the following steps as
an example.
Step 1
Choose “YES” when you see the question: (See Figure 3-5 Cable/DSL Setup Menu).
Has your Internet Service Provider given you static IP address?
Then select ” Fixed IP”.
Step 2
Enter the information of IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway as required. Then click the “NEXT”
button. You should obtain above information from your ISP. If not, contact your ISP.

-12-
Figure 3-7 Cable/DSL Setup Menu
Step 3 Enter the DNS Address. (See Figure 3-8 DNS Menu Screen) Your ISP should provide you with at least one
DNS IP Address. If not, contact your ISP.
Figure 3-8 DNS Menu Screen
3.2.3 PPTP For WAN
Step 1
Choose “YES” when you see the question: (See Figure 3-9 Cable/DSL Setup Menu)
Has your Internet Service Provider given you static IP address?
Then select “PPTP”.

-13-
Figure 3-9 Cable/DSL Menu
Step 2
Click “Next>>”, and then the following screen will appear. Enter the information of “PPTP Account”, “PPTP
Password”, and “Host Name”. “My IP Address” and ”My Subnet Mask” assigned by your Internet Service
Provider should be filled in.
Figure 3-10 PPTP Settings Screen

3.2.4 Dynamic IP for WAN
If you did not receive any values such as fixed IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and Primary DNS IP
address from your ISP, choose the “NO” option in both Figure 3-4 Cable/DSL Setup Menu Screen and Figure 3-8
DNS Menu Screen.
Note: See Appendix A to learn more about static and dynamic IP address.
3.2.5 WAN Alias IP Setup
The WAN Alias IP Setup allows you to enter maximum 5 IP addresses that can be distributed to your computer.
The error message will pop up if you enter more than 5 IP addresses. See Figure 3-11 WAN Alias IP Setup. Note
that this function is effective only when your ISP supports it. If you want to delete the entered IP address, pull
down the IP address and highlight the IP address you want to delete. Click Delete this entry. Then this IP address
will be deleted.
The application of Virtual Server and DMZ Host IP Addresses requires more than one IP address. Alias IP provides
a good support for such applications.
Figure 3-11 WAN Alias IP Setup
3.2.6 DNS
Select the item of DNS from the Setup menu. The following screen will appear. You can enter the DNS Address.
