Requirements
•Cable modem or DSL/ADSL modem.
•Standard 10/100BaseT (UTP) network cables with RJ45 connectors.
•PCs that make use of the TCP/IP network protocol.
Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new DC-202 Broadband Router.
The DC-202 is a multi-function device providing the following services:
•Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users.
•4-Port Switching Hub for 10BaseT or 100BaseT connections.
DC-202 Features
The DC-202 incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to
provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
•Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access
the Internet through the DC-202, using only a single external IP Ad-
dress. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external
sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
•DSL & Cable Modem Support. The DC-202 has a 10/100BaseT
Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL
and Cable Modems are supported. SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia)
login support is also included.
•Supports all Connection Methods. The Internet (WAN port) connec-
tion supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling
Protocol), L2TP (Level 2 Tunneling Protocol), SingTel RAS and Telstra
Big Pond (Australia), as well as “Direct Connection” type services.
•Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connec-
tion, the DC-202 supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is
allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.

Advanced Internet Functions
•Communication Applications. Support for Internet communication
applications, such as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing
applications, which are often difficult to use when behind a Firewall, is
included.
•Special Internet Applications. Applications which use non-standard
connections or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The
ability to define and allow such applications is provided, to enable such
applications to be used normally.
•Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet
servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
•DMZ. One (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unre-
stricted 2-way communication with Servers or individual users on the
Internet. This provides the ability to run programs which are incom-
patible with Firewalls.
•URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites
by LAN users.
•Internet Access Log. See which Internet connections have been
made.
•Access Control. Using the Access Control feature, you can assign LAN
users to different groups, and determine which Internet services are
available to each group.
•VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Network-
ing) software using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported -
no configuration is required.
LAN Features
•4-Port Switching Hub. The DC-202 incorporates a 4-port
10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your
LAN.
•DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides
a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The DC-
202 can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and
WLAN.
•Multi Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more segments
are supported, via the DC-202's RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
support and built-in static routing table.
Configuration & Management
•Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN for
configuration.
•Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the con-
figuration data from the DC-202 to your PC, and restore (upload) a
previously-saved configuration file to the DC-202.
•Remote Management. The DC-202 can be managed from any PC on
your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally)
be configured via the Internet.

•UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic dis-
covery and configuration of the DC-202. UPnP is by supported by
Windows ME, XP, or later.
Security Features
•Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection
is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configu-
ration data and settings.
•NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address
Translation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a sin-
gle IP address, the location and even the existence of each PC is
hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single
device - the DC-202.
•Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are moni-
tored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting your
network from malicious attacks from external sources.
•Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can
flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection re-
quests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet
access becomes unavailable. The DC-202 incorporates protection
against DoS attacks.

Setting up the broadband router
Physical installation
1. For the installation of the Broadband router it is assumed that you have
at least one PC with a working broadband Internet connection. It is also
assumed that the modem is configured in accordance with the require-
ments of your ISP and of the modem manufacturer. If not, first consult
the manual of your ISP.
2. Before you begin, check that power is not connected to either the
broadband router or the cable modem/DSL modem. Leave your cable
modem/DSL modem plugged in (telephone line or cable input).
Installation - DC-202
3. Connect the LAN cables: For the DC-202, use standard LAN cables to
connect the PCs to the LAN ports (hub) on the broadband router. If
necessary connect the "Uplink" port to a standard port on another hub.
You must use a standard LAN cable for this.
Note: If you use the "Uplink" port, then port 4 CANNOT be used.
4. Connect your cable modem/DSL modem to the WAN-port on the broad-
band router. Use the cable supplied with your cable modem/DSL
modem. If no cable was supplied with your modem, use a standard
network cable.

Manual configuration – Internet access
1. Make TCP/IP settings on your PC, as described in the foregoing sec-
tion.
Do not forget to restart your PC after you have finished.
2. Using UPnP
If your Windows system supports UPnP, an icon for the DC-202 will ap-
pear in the system tray, notifying you that a new network device has
been found, and offering to create a new desktop shortcut to the
newly-discovered device.
•Unless you intend to change the IP Address of the DC-202, you can
accept the desktop shortcut.
•Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can always
find UPnP devices in My Network Places.
Double click the icon for the DC-202 (either on the Desktop, or in
My Network Places) to start the configuration. Proceed with step 4.
3. Start your web browser. In the Address field, enter the following:
192.168.0.1
If you can't connect
If the DC-202 does not respond, check the following:
•The DC-202 is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it
is powered ON. You can test the connection by using the
"Ping" command:
•Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
•Enter the command:
ping 192.168.0.1
If no response is received, either the connection is not work-
ing, or your PC's IP address is not compatible with the DC-
202's IP Address. (See next item.)
•If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be
within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 to be compati-
ble with the DC-202's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also,
the Network Mask must be set to 255.255.255.0. See Chapter
4 - PC Configuration for details on checking your PC's TCP/IP
settings.
