1. Product Overview
1.1 Introduction
Kx EasyBackUp Pro, a 3G/3.5G WiFi Router, with a built-in modem, it has failover function using the
dial-up modem. Not only can it be used as a regular router to connect to ADSL / Cable modem but
also as a PPP router using the dial-up modem to connect to the ISP. The dial-up modem could be
PSTN V.90, GPRS, CDMA, EVDO, 3G / 3.5G HSDPA and Edge modem, etc.
The router will use WAN as the first priority and the dial-up modem as the backup. Once the WAN
port is active, it will switch to WAN and disconnect the dial-up connection. The router will
automatically dial to ISP if WAN is not active and there is data to be transmitted.

3.1. Basic
3.1.1 Wizard
Internet Connection Setup Wizard:
This wizard guides you through the following basic router setup steps:
Set your Password
Select your Time Zone
Configure your Internet Connection
3.1.2 WAN
The WAN (Wide Area Network) section is where you configure your Internet connection type.
There are several connection types to choose from: Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and
BigPond. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your Internet Service
Provider. Note: If using the PPPoE option, you will need to ensure that any PPPoE client software
on your computers is removed or disabled.
3.1.2.1 Static WAN Mode
Used when your ISP provides you a set IP address that does not change. The IP information is
manually entered in your IP configuration settings. You must enter the IP address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway, Primary DNS Server, and Secondary DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with all of this
information.
3.1.2.2 DHCP WAN Mode
A method of connection where the ISP assigns your IP address when your router requests one from
the ISP's server. Some ISP's require you to make some settings on your side before your router can
connect to the Internet.
Host Name: Some ISP's may check your computer's Host Name. The Host Name identifies
your system to the ISP's server. This way they know your computer is eligible to receive an IP
address. In other words, they know that you are paying for their service.

Use Unicasting: This option is normally turned off, and should remain off as long as the
WAN-side DHCP server correctly provides an IP address to the router. However, if the router
cannot obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, the DHCP server may be one that works
better with unicast responses. In this case, turn the unicasting option on, and observe whether
the router can obtain an IP address. In this mode, the router accepts unicast responses from
the DHCP server instead of broadcast responses.
Enable BigPond: Check this option to connect to the Internet through Telstra BigPond Cable
Broadband in Australia. Telstra BigPond provides the values for BigPond Server, BigPond
User Id, and BigPond Password.

3.1.2.3 PPPoE
Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)
connection. DSL providers typically use this option. This method of connection requires you
to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain
access to the Internet.
Dynamic IP: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP provides
the value for the IP Address.
Static IP: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a
connection, select this option.
Service Name: Some ISP's may require that you enter a Service Name. Only enter a Service
Name if your ISP requires one.
Reconnect Mode: Typically connections are not always on. The KORTEX PSI router allows
you to set the reconnection mode. The settings are:
Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the web-based management interface and click the
Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the
Internet.
Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is
disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" connection
mode.

3.1.2.4 PPTP
PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP. This
method of connection is primarily used in Europe. This method of connection requires you to
enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to
the Internet.
Dynamic IP: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP provides
the values for the following fields: PPTP IP Address, PPTP Subnet Mask, and PPTP Gateway
IP Address.
Static IP: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a connection,
select this option.
PPTP Server IP Address: The ISP provides this parameter, if necessary. The value may be the
same as the Gateway IP Address.
Reconnect Mode: Typically PPTP connections are not always on. The KORTEX PSI router
allows you to set the reconnection mode. The settings are:
Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the web-based management interface and click
the Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the
Internet.
Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPTP connection is
disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" connection
mode.

3.1.2.5 L2TP
L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP. This
method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet
Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.
Dynamic IP: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP provides the
values for the following fields: L2TP IP Address, L2TP Subnet Mask, and L2TP Gateway IP
Address.
Static IP: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a connection,
select this option.
L2TP Server IP Address: The ISP provides this parameter, if necessary. The value may be the
same as the Gateway IP Address.
Reconnect Mode: Typically L2TP connections are not always on. The KORTEX PSI router
allows you to set the reconnection mode. The settings are:
Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the web-based management interface and click the
Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the
Internet.
Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the L2TP connection is
disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" connection
mode.
Use These DNS Servers: This option should be enabled if your ISP requires you to enter the
DNS Server information. You will then be able to enter a primary and secondary DNS server.
Advanced >>: These options apply to all WAN modes.
Use the default MTU: If this option is checked (the default case), the router selects the
usual MTU settings for the type of WAN interface in use. If this option is unchecked, the
router uses the value of the MTU option (which follows).

http://www.kortex-psi.fr
Kx EasyBackUp Pro User’s Guide
Copyright © KORTEX PSI 2011
20
MTU: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest
packet size (in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger
packets, the router will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to
match the MTU of the connection to your ISP. Typical values are 1500 bytes for an
Ethernet connection and 1492 bytes for a PPPoE connection. If the router's MTU is set
too high, packets will be fragmented downstream. If the router's MTU is set too low, the
router will fragment packets unnecessarily and in extreme cases may be unable to
establish some connections. In either case, network performance can suffer.
WAN Port Speed: Normally, this is set to "auto". If you have trouble connecting to the
WAN, try the other settings.
Respond to WAN Ping: If you leave this option unchecked, you are causing the public
WAN IP address of the router not to respond to ping commands. Pinging public WAN IP
addresses is a common method used by hackers to test whether your WAN IP address is
valid.
WAN Ping Inbound Filter: Select a filter that controls access as needed for WAN pings.
If you do not see the filter you need in the list of filters, go to the Advanced -> Inbound
Filter screen and create a new filter.
MAC Cloning Enabled: Some ISP's may check your computer's MAC address. Each
networking device has its own unique MAC address defined by the hardware
manufacturer. Some ISP's record the MAC address of the network adapter in the
computer or router used to initially connect to their service. The ISP will then only grant
Internet access to requests from a computer or router with this particular MAC address.
Your new KORTEX PSI router has a different MAC address than the computer or router
that initially connected to the ISP. To resolve this problem, the KORTEX PSI router has a
special feature that allows you to clone (that is, replace the router's MAC address with)
another MAC address.
MAC Address: If you have enabled MAC Cloning, you can either type in
an alternate MAC address (for example, the MAC address of the router initially
connected to the ISP) or copy the MAC address of a PC. To copy the MAC address of the
computer that initially connected to the ISP, connect to the KORTEX PSI router using that
computer and click the Clone Your PC’s MAC Address button. The WAN port will then
use the MAC address of the network adapter in your computer.
