HomePNA3.0 (with 802.11g) ADSL2+ Firewall Router
Chapter 1: Introduction
Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This
dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use the service, you must first apply
for an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/. More than 5 DDNS servers are
supported.
Quality of Service (QoS)
QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the
router, ensuring important data like gaming packets, customer information, or management
information move through the router ay lightning speed, even under heavy load. The QoS features
are configurable by source IP address, destination IP address, protocol, and port. You can throttle
the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router, to ensure P2P users
don’t saturate upload bandwidth, or office browsing doesn’t bring client web serving to a halt. In
addition, or alternatively, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let
the router sort out the actual speeds.
Virtual Server (“port forwarding”)
Users can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect incoming
service requests and forward either a single port or a range of ports to the specific local computer
to handle it. For example, a user can assign a PC in the LAN acting as a WEB server inside and
expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside web servers directly while it is
protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the outside
network, Internet.
Rich Packet Filtering
Not only filters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will filter
packets from and to the Internet, and also provides a higher level of security control.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client and server
In the WAN site, the DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate a range of client IP addresses and
distribute them including IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP address to local computers. It
provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.
Static and RIP1/2 Routing
Supports an easy static routing table or RIP1/2 routing protocol support routing capability.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP.
Web based GUI
Supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with on-
line help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and
manage this product.
Firmware Upgradeable
Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.
Rich management interfaces
Supports flexible management interfaces with local console port, LAN port, Phoneline port and
WAN port. Users can use terminal applications through the console port to configure and manage
the device, or Telnet, WEB GUI, and SNMP through LAN or WAN ports to configure and manage
the device.

Cabling
One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling. Make sure that all connected devices are
turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the relevant HPNA link(Link/Act),
LAN link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables.
Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones, fax
machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless
you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and
ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters
installed the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing
frequent disconnections.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation
Chapter 3: Basic Installation
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard
application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me, etc. The
product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
PC must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly or
through an external repeater hub. PC needs TCP/IP installed and be in the same subnet as the router.
The default IP address of the router is 10.0.0.138 and the subnet mask is 255.0.0.0 (i.e. any attached
PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address like 10.0.0.xxx). The best and easiest way is to
configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any
problems accessing the router’s web interface it may also be advisable to uninstall any kind of software
firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 10.0.0.138 IP address of the router.
Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect their network.
Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please check
your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be
installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through
the router. To configure other types of workstations, please consult the
manufacturer’s documentation.
