Introduction
1.1 An Overview of the ADSL Router
ADSL VPN Firewall Modem/Router provides a high-speed Ethernet port for high-speed Internet browsing.
It can support downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream transmission rates of up to
1024Kbps. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1); G.lite
(G992.2); G.hs (G994.1)).
The product supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 – PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) over ATM Adaptation Layer 5),
RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA
(RFC1577) to establish a connection with ISP. The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based
multiplexing.
It is the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection.
Multi-users can have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.
This product also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being accessed by outside
users. Not only provide the natural firewall function (Network Address Translation, NAT), it also provides
rich firewall features to secure user’s network. All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered.
Besides, it can also be configured to block internal users from accessing to the Internet.
The product provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN users’ IP addresses which are
invisible to outside users on the Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on
your network. Secondly, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the services that outside users can
access. For example, to ensure that games and other Internet applications will run properly, user can
open some specific ports for outside users to access internal services in network.
Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) services, client and server, allow multiple users to get
their IP addresses automatically on boot up from the product. Simply set local machines as a DHCP
client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from DHCP server and reboot. Each time local
machine is powered up; the router will recognize it and assign an IP address to instantly connect it to the
LAN.
For advanced users, Virtual Service function allows the product to provide limited visibility to local
machines with specific services for outside users. An ISP (Internet Service Providers) provided IP
address can be set to the product and then specific services can be rerouted to specific computers on the
local network. For instance, a dedicated web server can be connected to the Internet via the product and
then incoming requests for HTML that are received by the product can be rerouted to the dedicated local
web server, even though the server now has a different IP address. In this example, the product is on the
Internet and vulnerable to attacks, but the server is protected.
Virtual Server can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, the product can be
set to allow separated FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game servers to share the same Internet-visible IP
address while still protecting the servers and LAN users from hackers.

and upstream transmission rates of up to 1024Kbps. It is compliant with Multi-Mode
standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1); G.lite (G992.2); G.hs (G994.1)).
 Multi-Protocol to Establish A Connection: Supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM
Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet
(RFC 2516) and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with ISP. The product also supports VC-
based and LLC-based multiplexing.
 Quick Start : Supports a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this session, an end
user can enter the information easily which they from the ISP, then surf the Internet immediately.
 Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal: This protocol is used to enable
simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices and PCs from many different vendors. It
makes network simple and affordable for users. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web
to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked
devices. With this feature enabled, users can now connect to Net meeting or MSN Messenger
seamlessly.
 Network Address Translation (NAT): Allows multi-users to access outside resource such as
Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Besides, many application
layer gateway (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Ping and
others.
 Domain Name System (DNS) relay: Provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly
name for user such as www.yahoo.com) and IP address. When local machine sets its DNS server
with this router’s IP address. Then every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router
will be forwarded to the real DNS in outside network. After the router gets the reply, then forwards it
back to the PC.
 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 an account from this free Web server http://www.dyndns.org/.
There are more than 5 DDNS servers supported.
 PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE): Provides embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection.
Users can get greater access speed without changing the operation concept, sharing the same ISP
account and paying for one access account. No PPPoE client software is required for local
computer. The Automatic Reconnect and Disconnect Timeout (Idle Timer) functions are provided,
too.
 Virtual Server: User can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can
detect incoming service request and forward it to the specific local computer to handle it. For

Chapter 1 Introduction

example, user can assign a PC in LAN acting as WEB server inside and expose it to the outside
network. Outside user can browse inside web server directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ
host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the outside network, Internet.
 Firewall: Supports SOHO firewall with NAT technology. Automatically detects and blocks the Denial
of Service (DoS) attack. The URL-blocking and packet filtering are also supported. The hacker’s
attack will be recorded associated with timestamp in the security logging area. More firewall features
will be added continually, please visit our web site to download latest firmware.
 Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) client and server: In the WAN site, the DHCP client can
get an IP address from the Internet Server Provider (ISP) automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP
server can allocate multiple clients 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.
 Rich Packet Filtering: Not only filter the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port
numbers and MAC address. It will increase the performance in LAN and WAN, also provide a
higher-level security control
 SNTP: An easy way to get the network real time information from an SNTP server.
 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

5 LINE Connect the supplied RJ-11 (“telephone”) cable to this port when
connecting to the ADSL/telephone network.
2.4 Cabling
Through Ethernet Port
The product’s LAN port is wired just like a Network Adapter’s port. From the product directly to a PC, the
cable should be an Ethernet straight cable. From the product to a hub or switch, the cable should be an
Ethernet straight through cable to a normal hub/switch port, or an Ethernet crossover cable to an uplink
port.
The most common problem associated with Ethernet is bad cabling or ADSL line. Make sure that all
connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. As a first check, please
verify that the PWR, SYS, LAN LNK and ADSL SYN LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using
the proper cables and connecting properly.
