Configuring Broadband Firewall Router in Pre-existing IP Networks
The Broadband Firewall Router is easily added to an existing network that already has IP
addresses assigned. The following assumes that you have configured TCP/IP for your
network (and on each computer) and are now adding the Broadband Firewall Router for
Internet access. We also assume that you will not be using the Broadband Firewall Router
10

DHCP server to dynamically allocate and assign addresses (since you’ve already assigned IP
addresses to each computer).
The following steps use an example pre-existing network of computers with IP addresses
204.1.1.1 through 204.1.1.154 (IP addresses of Class C, without any IP sub-networks).
Please follow the steps listed below to use your existing IP addresses with the Broadband
Firewall Router.
1. From your range of available IP addresses, select a single IP address to be used as
the Broadband Firewall Router’s address (such as 204.1.1.100).
2. Select one computer (we strongly recommend Windows 95/98/Me or Windows
NT/2000/XP) to configure the Broadband Firewall Router.
Open the Network properties dialog box of the computer, and write down its current
IP settings, including IP address and DNS Server IP address (provided by your ISP).
Next, check the Specify an IP Address option in the TCP/IP properties dialog box
and enter 192.168.1.2 for the IP address and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask.
Finally, enter 192.168.1.1 for the gateway IP address. You must then restart your
computer to update the new TCP/IP settings.
3. On the same computer, open your web browser.
4. Type the default IP address (192.168.1.1) in the Location box and press Enter. The
device’s Home Page will then appear.
5. It then shows an authentication dialog for the Broadband Firewall Router. Type the
default administration user name, admin, and type the default configuration
password 0000. Then click OK, as shown in following figure.
6. Click “Basic Settings” in the top column. It then enters the sub-menu.
11

7. In the LAN Settings, enter the IP address you selected in Step 1 (such as
204.1.1.100) in the LAN IP Address field.
8. Enter the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask field.
9. Enter the IP address you selected in Step 1 (such as 204.1.1.100) in the Default
Gateway field.
10. Click Apply button for the new settings to take effect.
11. Close your browser.
12. Now open the Network properties dialog box of the computer again and select
TCP/IP protocol.
13. Change the computer’s IP address, subnet mask, and DNS Server IP address
(provided by your ISP) back to their original settings.
14. Next, enter the IP address of the Broadband Firewall Router as the computer’s
gateway IP address (see Step 1: 204.1.1.100).
15. Finally, restart the computer for new TCP/IP settings to take effect.
16. Please refer to settings given in this chapter to continue configuring the Broadband
Firewall Router.
17. Repeat Step 16 and Step 17 on each computer located on your LAN.
Once your network and the Broadband Firewall Router are both successfully configured, the
computers on your network should be ready to access the Internet using the Broadband
Firewall Router.

Configuring Non-DHCP Computers
The Broadband Firewall Router can be used with computers that do not support DHCP.
Follow these steps to identify and configure non-capable DHCP computers.
1.Determine if any computers on your network are not DHCP capable. An example of a
non-DHCP capable computer would be a DOS/Windows 3.x computer running an older
version of TCP/IP software from a third-party vendor.
2.On each non-DHCP computer, enter the following information when configuring TCP/IP:
a. IP Address (See the Selecting an IP Address section).
b. Subnet Mask (typically 255.255.255.0 for a Class C IP address).
c. Gateway IP Address (192.168.1.1 is the default).
d. Primary DNS Server IP Address (provided by your ISP).
e. Secondary DNS Server IP Address (optionally provided by your ISP).
f. Domain Name (optionally provided by your ISP).
Selecting an IP Address
If your networked computers do not support DHCP or you would like to manually specify IP
addresses, you need to manually set the IP address on each computer. The Broadband
Firewall Router is pre-configured with an IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. The Broadband Firewall Router recognizes computers with IP addresses in
the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254, with the exception of the Broadband Firewall
Router’s default IP address, 192.168.1.1.
The following are the general guidelines for manually assigning IP addresses and related
settings to the computers.
1. Assign the first computer an IP address of 192.168.1.2. Next assign a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, a gateway IP address of 192.168.1.1, and at least (primary) one DNS
server IP address that should be provided by your ISP.
2. Assign the second computer an IP address of 192.168.1.3 and the same settings for
the subnet mask, gateway IP address, and DNS server IP address as those in the first
computer.
3. Continue assigning IP addresses and other related settings.
