Quick Installation
This section takes you through a step-by-step minimum installa-
tion and setup procedure for the internet server. Please refer to
the main text of this manual for detailed information about the
setup and operation of this device.
Getting Started
Step 1: Unpack the device. Make certain no components have
been lost or damaged. A packing list is provided on page 5.
Step 2: Choose an installation site on a flat, level surface or wall
near the modem or ISDN/TA you plan to use for internet
connections or near the network line you plan to use for a
LAN connection. Note that the internet server can be hung
on a wall using the wall mounting equipment included
with the product.
Making Connections
Step 3: Connect the internet server to your LAN using a Cate-
gory 3, 4 or 5, twisted-pair cable and the device’s single RJ-
45 LAN port. This connection should be made to an
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet switch or hub. (The RJ-45 port
looks like a phone jack.)
Step 4: Connect the internet server to a modem or ISDN/TA, us-
ing one or both of the device’s serial ports (COM1 and
COM2). (Note that your modem or ISDN/TA should al-
ready be connected and setup according to the instructions
included with it.)
Step 5: Plug the power adapter into the device and into an out-
let.

iv
Configuring
Step 6: Before your can use your internet server, IP addresses on
your LAN’s PCs must be set so that they are compatible
with the internet server’s settings. The internet server
comes with the default local IP address: 192.168.100.1 and
the default subnet mask setting: 255.255.255.0. Computer
stations on your LAN that will use the internet server for
internet access must modify their IP settings to
192.168.100.xxx (where xxx is a number between 2 and
255). All stations must also modify their subnet mask set-
tings to match the internet server subnet mask setting,
and set their default gateway to the local IP address (in
this case the default address listed above) used by the
internet server. If you want to use a different IP address
range, see “Setting IP Addresses” on page 12.
Step 7: The internet server can be configured and operated via
Telnet or a web browser once PC IP addresses have been
properly set. (Note that some device settings can be ma-
nipulated using the IS Admin program included with the
device.) Start your Telnet or browser software and enter
the IP address of the internet server (either the default IP
listed above or the new address you assigned using IS
Admin). This should bring up the internet server start
menu. See the next series of steps for information about
variables that must be set for the device to work properly.
Key Variables
Step 8: ISP Account -> Phone Number,when you signed-up
for an account with your ISP (internet service provider),
you should have been given an access phone number that
your modem will dial. Look under the “WAN Port Vari-
ables” menu for this variable and enter the phone number
provider by your ISP.

v
Step 9: ISP Account -> User ID,your ISP should also have as-
signed a User ID (aka, a username) that you will use for
logging-in. Also under “WAN Port Variables,” enter this
user ID exactly as it was provided to you.
Step 10: ISP Account -> Password,finally, to complete the
ISP login process, the internet server must provide the
password associated with the user ID assigned by your
ISP. Enter it.
You have now completed the basic steps necessary to install, con-
figure, and begin using the internet server. Note that, with
respect to steps 8–10, it may be necessary for you to use a “Login
Script” instead. If you enter the information required in those
three variables correctly and still have trouble logging-in, see the
“Login Script” section on page 19 to create a login script.

1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter introduces the internet server, as well as some of the
technology that underlies it.
Product Description
The internet server is designed to provide a single-point access to
the internet for multiple, networked PCs. One of the primary fea-
tures of the internet server is that it provides multi-user access to
the internet through a single user account and one connection.
More simply put, an internet server takes a single internet con-
nection that without it could only be used by one person and
allows it to be used by multiple stations on the same network si-
multaneously.
Product Features
The list below highlights the features and specifications of the
internet server.
♦ Compatible with the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T Ethernet and
802.3u 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet industry standards for

Internet Server User’s Guide
Introduction

interoperability with other Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network
devices.
♦ Internet protocol support for: PPP, PAP/CHAP, NAT,
TCP/IP, DHCP, ARP, ICMP, SMTP, POP3, FTP, Telnet, and
HTTP.
♦ Support for device configuration via Telnet, web browser,
and IS Admin program (included).
♦ NWay TP port for LAN connection.
♦ Ethernet connections support Category 3 or better twisted-
pair cables.
♦ Fast Ethernet connections support both shielded twisted
pair and Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cables.
♦ 56K (maximum) modem speed support
♦ 128K (maximum) ISDN/TA speed support
♦ Internet Features include: Dial-On-Demand, NAT internet
access, DHCP server, and virtual server.
♦ Flash memory for easy firmware upgrades.
Internet Server Technology
The concept behind internet servers is to provide a single, shared
access point for multiple users. Without an internet server, each
end point (i.e., PC or workstation) on a LAN must have it’s own

Introduction

public domain IP address.
Using an internet server allows a single public IP address to be
shared by multiple local end points simultaneously.
Since the same range of local IP addresses can be used at as many
multiple locations as necessary, available IP addresses can in-
crease. Also, it is only necessary for a company to pay for a single
internet access account even though many people will be able to
use it.
An internet server can also be used to expand a LAN by providing
a means to create localized “sub-groups” in a LAN-to-LAN configu-
ration. The internet server acts as a single public IP address
access point for the sub-group LAN. The sub-group LAN can then
use local IP addresses from the available ranges. The effect of this

is to expand the number of stations that can use IP addresses as-
signed to the LAN.

Desktop / Shelf Installation
The unit has rubber feet attached to the bottom to cushion it. Al-
low enough ventilation space between the device and the objects
around it. Choose a sturdy, level surface in a ventilated area that
is dust free and away from heat vents, warm air exhaust from
other devices and direct sunlight. Avoid proximity to large electric
motors or other electromagnetic equipment.
Observe the following guidelines when choosing an installation
location:
• Air temperature should range from 32°to 122°F (0°to 50°C).
• Humidity should be less than 90%, non-condensing.
• Site should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) stan-
dards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
For a detailed list of the product’s technical specifications, refer to
Appendix B, Specifications.
Wall Installation
The product can be installed on a wall. When installing, you need
to attach two tapping screws and two screw anchors to the bottom
of the device. Wall mount supplies are included with the device.

Port Description
The internet server has two WAN ports.

Serial – WAN
Serial ports are used for WAN connections either to a modem or an
ISDN terminal adapter. Both serial ports are standard male 9-pin
RS-232 connectors.

RJ-45 – LAN
The internet server has a single, NWay RJ-45 LAN port. This port
is 10Mbps and 100Mbps capable (auto-detect, auto-configure) and
designed for use in an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN via a net-
work hub. The port has standard RJ-45 pinouts.
LED Description
The internet server has a small LED array for indicating current
port and transmission status. The power/transmit (Pw/Tx) and
connect/receive (Link/Rx) LEDs only relate to activity on the LAN
ports. All other LED indicators display information about their
related ports as labeled.
Pw/Tx
The Pw/Tx (power/transmit) LED lights when power is supplied to
the device and flashes when a LAN port transmits data.
Link/Rx
The Link/Rx (link/receive) indicator will light up when a good con-
nection is made at either LAN port with an operating and
compatible Ethernet or Fast Ethernet device. This indicator
flashes when either LAN port receives data from the network.
COM1 / COM2
Each COM port LED provides an indication of the operating status
of one WAN port. When a WAN port is transmitting data, the re-
