Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of ADE-4000's features and
capabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase ofADE-4000. The ADSL Bridge Router will allow
multiple LAN users to share an Internet user account, via a DSL connection. Once

Figure 1-1: ADSL Bridge Router
ADE-4000 Features
ADE-4000 incorporates manyadvanced features, carefullydesigned to provide
sophisticated functions for user s convenience while surfing in the net.
Internet Access Features
• Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN (up to 253 users) can ac-
cess the Internet through ADE-4000, using onlya single external IP Address via
built-in 4 switch ports. (router mode).
• DSL Service Support. ADE-4000 has a RJ-11 port for connecting a DSL
connection to provide Internet resource sharing feature. All popular DSL service
providers are supported.
• Standard Compliance. ADSL-Compliant with ANSI T1.413 Issue 2, ITU
G.992.1 (G.dmt) Annex A for ADE-4000 and Annex B for ADE-4000B, and
G.992.2 (G.lite).
• Data Transfer Rate. Data rate up to 8 Mbps downstreamand up to 1 Mbps
upstream
• Multi-system Support. USB interface driver supports Microsoft Windows
98/ME/2000 and Windows XP.
• User Friendly Interface. Simple, intuitive, yet powerful graphical user inter-
face can be accessed fromcommon web browsers nowadays

Advanced Functions
• Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers
on your LAN. The required setup is quickand easy.
• DMZ. One (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allowunrestricted 2-
waycommunication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This pro-
vides the abilityto run programs, which demand for bi-directional
communication.
• System Log & Internet Access diagnostics ADE-4000 implements
systemlog and Internet access diagnostic help users to diagnose what could
be wrong via systemlog or Internet access diagnostics.
• VPN Support. VPN (Virtual Private Networking) connections using PPTP,
L2TP and IPSec are transparentlysupported - no configuration is required.
LAN Features
w Four Ethernet and USB ports. Users mayshare Internet access via built-
in 4 switch ports. The other (the USB port) can be connected to USB interface
DSL/Cable router or directlywith computer.
w DHCP Server support.Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a
dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. ADE-4000 can
act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN.
Configuration & Management
• Easy Setup. Use WEB browser fromanywhere to begin the configuration.
• Remote Management. The ADE-4000 can be managed fromanyPC on
your LAN. And, ifthe Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be con-
figured via the Internet.
SecurityFeatures
w Two-level password protected Configuration. Two-level password
protection can provided stronger protection to prevent unauthorized users
frommodifying the configuration data and settings.
w NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect ofNAT(NetworkAddress Transla-
tion) technologyis that byallowing all LAN users to share a single IP address,
the location and even the existence ofeach PC is hidden. Fromthe external
viewpoint, there is no network, onlya single device - ADE-4000.
Package Contents
The following items should be included:
• ADE-4000 Unit
• Power Adapter
• CD-ROM containing USB port driver
• USB cable
• RJ-45 cable

4000 must be directlyconnected (using the ETHERNETport on ADE-4000) or
on the same LAN segment.
• ADE-4000 must be installed and powered ON.
• IfADE-4000's default IP Address (10.0.0.2) is alreadyused byanother device,
the other device must be turned OFF until ADE-4000 is allocated a newIP Ad-
dress during configuration.

If you can't connect
IfADE does not respond, checkthe following:
• Machine is properlyinstalled, LAN connection is OK, and it is powered
ON. You can test the connection byusing the "Ping" command:
• Open the MS-DOS windowor command prompt window.
• Enter the command:
ping 10.0.0.2
Ifno response is received, either the connection is not working, or
your PC's IP address is not compatible with ADE-4000's IP Address.
(See next item.)
• Ifyour PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the
range 10.0.0.3 to 10.255.255.254 to be compatible with ADE-4000's de-
fault IP Address of10.0.0.2. Also, the Network Mask must be set to
255.0.0.0. See Chapter 5 - PC Configuration for details on checking
your PC's TCP/IP settings.
• Ensure that your PC and ADE-4000 are on the same networksegment.
(Ifyou don't have a router, this must be the case.)
