1.0 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Xsense XRouter Aero, the Wireless
Internet Sharing Router with Four-Port Switch. Welcome to the
Macsense/Xsense Product Family.
Macsense/Xsense was one of the pioneers to deliver an affordable
Internet/Ethernet sharing router solution to the SOHO market. Our first generation
product, the MIH-105, did just that four years ago. As we continue to strive for
innovation and excellence, we incorporate the latest Internet technologies into our
product to make networking easier than ever.
With a built-in 4-Port 10/100 N-way Switch, DSL/Cable modem router and
wireless access point, the XRouter Aero will provide an extensive solution to your
networking needs. The XRouter Aero is essentially three products in one. A
high-speed Switch to share files and printers at 10/100Mbps speeds. A
broadband Router to share your Internet access with your entire network. And an
Access Point to roam cable-free through-out the office or home.
A trend in the technology industry today is to eliminate the cable restrictions and
hassle of wires by implementing a wireless network. As more products go
wireless with security measures already at impressive standards, Ethernet may
become a backup plan before long.
By going wireless you reduce the hassle of cable clutter, the expensive need to
run cabling in the home or office and the aggravation altogether to crawl under
that desk for the last time to see if that Ethernet cable is connected. The
combination of a laptops’ mobility and our wireless XRouter Aero can bring about
some impressive changes in how you think about work. Imagine surfing the Net
while sitting on the couch with the Sunday game on the tube. Or reviewing your
stock portfolio on your laptop in bed. Maybe the kids want to chat with school
friends on AOL out by the pool.
1.1 Features
The XRouter Aero is an embodiment of many distinct features. The major features
are:
1.1.1 Sharing Internet Access
The XRouter Aero functions as an easy-to-use communication device, which
allows you to connect a local area network (LAN) to the Internet affordably. With
the XRouter Aero you can get as many as 253 Macintosh or PC users online
simultaneously through one DSL line or Cable, with one ISP account. The
XRouter Aero installs quickly and easily, and best of all, it’s a breeze to use.
XRouter Aero supports dynamic, static and PPPoE addressing and is compatible
with virtually all ISPs.
1.1.2 Support Broadband Connection
The XRouter Aero supports both DSL modems and Cable modems broadband
Internet connections. It has one WAN (Wide Area Network) port to connect itself
to a DSL modem or a Cable modem. This provides more than enough bandwidth

to accommodate the needs of even large groups of Internet users.
1.1.3 Built-in DHCP Server
The XRouter Aero’s built-in DHCP Server dramatically reduces the amount of
efforts needed for configuration and maintenance by allowing you to automatically
configure the TCP/IP setting over a local area network.
1.1.4 Built-in 4-Port Switched Ethernet Hub
In addition to providing Internet sharing capability, the XRouter Aero also
functions as an N-way switched Ethernet hub, which offers four 10/100Mbps
switched RJ-45 ports that allow you to connect a series of computers to form a
small LAN. One uplink port is provided for cascading to more hubs and switches.
1.1.5 Wireless Connectivity
The XRouter Aero includes a built-in Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
Access Point (AP) that facilitates a high-rate wireless LAN network. XRouter Aero
also provides a bridge between wired Ethernet and wireless LAN networks. It
provides connectivity between wired Ethernet networks and desktop and
notebook computers with 802.11b-equipped wireless cards. XRouter Aero follows
industry standard 802.11b, which makes it compatible with any standard wireless
cards. In situations where more than one XRouter Aero is used, a
802.11b-compliant notebook computer can roam from XRouter Aero to XRouter
Aero, significantly increasing the range of the wireless LAN.
XRouter Aero has the following wireless features:
 Tangle-free networking environment without cables
 IEEE802.11b compliant RF connectivity
 An 11Mbps data rate for fast operation
 Extensive indoor (50m @ 11Mbps) and outdoor (250m @ 11Mbps)
range
 Single antenna diversity system with swivel neck for best reception
 Fourteen channels to allow for overlapping ranges for seamless
roaming
1.1.6 Easy Configuration
The XRouter Aero can be configured through a popular Web browser, and it
features web-based management for a simple, intuitive set up. It is compatible
with most major operating systems (MacOS, Windows OS and Linux). It allows for
remote administration for convenience and tech support.
1.1.7 Security
The XRouter Aero provides firewall-like security through NAT (Network Address
Translation) to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing internal files.
NAT translates private local IP addresses into a global IP address on the Internet,
allowing a group of Internet users to share a single ISP account. XRouter Aero
also supports 40-Bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption for transfering
files between wireless computers and the XRouter Aero. Also, XRouter Aero runs

in Stealth Mode when WAN Port Scanning/WAN Ping Response Block is enabled.
1.1.8 Advanced Functions
 Virtual Server to allow internet services through the NAT firewall
 RIP/Static Routing for complex network routing management
 Supports PPTP and Nortel Null IPSec Virtual Private Network
pass-through
 MAC Address and URL filtering

4.2 Connecting Computers to the XRouter Aero
When you finish connecting the XRouter Aero to your DSL or Cable modem, you
may now connect Macintosh or PC computers in your local area network to the
XRouter Aero.
Two methods can be implemented for the connection: (1) plugging computers
directly into the XRouter Aero, and (2) connecting the XRouter Aero to your LAN
hub. We suggest performing the initial installation process with just one computer
connected to the XRouter Aero and add the hub later.
Connect Computers Directly to the XRouter Aero:

NOTE: You will need an Ethernet cable for each additional computer connecting to
the XRouter Aero.
1. Plug one RJ-45 connector (of a standard twisted-pair Ethernet cable) to the
Ethernet port on your computer.
2. Plug the other end of this cable into one of the XRouter Aero’s four LAN ports
(located on the left side of the XRouter Aero’s rear panel. Refer to
3. Figure 2)
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each computer you wish to provide Internet access
to until all four XRouter Aero LAN ports are filled.
NOTE: To connect more than four computers to the XRouter Aero, simply plug
additional computers into a network hub and plug this hub into the XRouter Aero’s
uplink port. Read below for further instructions. (See Figure 5)
Figure 4
To connect an existing LAN to the XRouter Aero:
As an alternative to connecting computers directly into the XRouter Aero’s LAN
ports, you can also connect a pre-existing network to the XRouter Aero by
uplinking your network’s central LAN hub to the XRouter Aero’s uplink port. (See
Figure 2)
To connect a LAN hub to the XRouter Aero’s uplink port:
1. Set the DIP switch (located on the XRouter Aero’s rear panel just left of the
No. 4 LAN port) from straight or “II” to crossover mode or “X”.
2. Plug one RJ-45 connector (of a standard twisted-pair Ethernet cable) to the
XRouter Aero’s No. 4 LAN port.
3. Plug the other end of this Ethernet cable into an available standard port on
the network hub. Do not run the connection from uplink port on the router to
uplink port on hub.
NOTE: Multiple network hubs can be connected to the XRouter Aero’s LAN ports
No.1-3 if these hubs are equipped with uplink ports. By cascading a series of hubs,
you can connect up to 253 users to the XRouter Aero.

5.0 CONFIGURING CLIENT COMPUTERS
Congratulations on installing the XRouter Aero’s hardware! Next we will show you
how to enable communication between the XRouter Aero and client computers.
Part of the process of enabling communication involves setting the IP addresses
for the computer. These computers must have their IP addresses configured such
that they share the same subnet numbering scheme, as does the XRouter Aero’s
default IP address. We will explain this in more detail later in the chapter.
Configuring the IP addresses is a simple task that can be performed through your
computer’s TCP/IP control panel. We have provided instructions for the
configuration process for both Macintosh and PC users. Find the appropriate set
of instructions in the following pages.
5.1 Windows 95/98/Me TCP/IP Configuration
1. Double-click the Control Panel icon in My Computer folder or locate it in the
Start Menu. The sub-folder Control Panel is located under Settings.
2. In the Control Panel, double-click the Network icon. The network interface
card (installed on your computer) appears along with the network protocol on
the Configuration list.
Figure 6
3. Double-click TCP/IP protocol on the list. If TCP/IP does not appear on the
list, you must install the TCP/IP protocol first as illustrated in step 4. Clients
with TCP/IP already installed may skip to step 5.
4. To install the TCP/IP protocol:
a. Keep your copy of Windows 95/98/Me CD-ROM on hand. (You will
need it for this installation.)
b. Click the Add button from the Configuration list of the Network window.
A new window appears.

c. Double-click Protocol. Then, in the Select Network Protocol window,
choose Microsoft on the Manufacturers list, and select TCP/IP on the

Figure 7
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation process. It
should prompt for a restart and then follow on with step 5, as you will now find
a TCP/IP Protocol in your Network control panel.
5. After double-clicking the installed TCP/IP protocol, the TCP/IP Properties
window appears. To automatically assign computer’s TCP/IP, the XRouter
Aero’s DHCP server must perform the following functions:
a. Click the IP Address tab from the TCP/IP Properties window. (See
Figure 8)
Figure 8
b. Select the item Obtain IP address automatically to allow the built-in
DHCP server of the XRouter Aero to assign an IP address and other
TCP/IP configuration information to the client automatically. Do this for

every client which needs Internet access through the XRouter Aero.
6. After specifying the settings of TCP/IP click OK and restart Windows to allow
the settings to take effect.
7. Repeat steps from 1 to 6 for each client PC on you Local Area Network.
When all of your client PCs are configured, please go to Chapter 6 to set up
your Aero XRouter.
5.1.1 Assigning TCP/IP Values Manually
If you already have a DHCP server on the network, or if you prefer not to use the
XRouter Aero’s DHCP server to assign TCP/IP values automatically, you can
input these values manually. To manage a computer’s address manually, perform
the following steps:
Click the IP Address tab from the TCP/IP properties window.
1. Select the item Specify an IP address to manually input unique IP address
and Subnet Mask. Do this for every client which needs Internet access
through the XRouter Aero. (See Figure 9)
2. In the IP Address field enter “192.168.1.x” where x is any variable of your
choice ranging from 2 to 253. Enter “255.255.255.0” in the Subnet Mask
field.
NOTE: No two computers on the LAN are allowed to adopt the same IP address
or an IP address conflict will occur.
Figure 9

3. Click the Gateway tab and enter the XRouter Aero’s Private IP Address
“192.168.1.1” in the Gateway IP address field and click Add. The Gateway
IP address value must be the same as the XRouter Aero's IP address to keep
the proper IP numbering scheme.
Figure 10
4. Click the DNS Configuration tab, choose Enable DNS and input a unique
Host Name that simply is the computer’s name on the network. Enter the
DNS IP addresses provided by your ISP in the proper order into the DNS
Server Search Order field and click Add.

5. Click OK to close out of both windows and you will be prompted to restart the
computer to activate these changes.

5.2 Mac OS TCP/IP Configuration
1. Open the TCP/IP control panel.
2. In the Connect via menu select the Ethernet interface installed on your
computer.
3. In the Configure pull-down menu, select Using DHCP Server to allow the
built-in DHCP server of the XRouter Aero to assign an IP address and other
TCP/IP configuration information to the client automatically. Do this for every
client which needs Internet access through the XRouter Aero. (See Figure
12)
Figure 12
Note: The DHCP Client ID in the Macintosh TCP/IP Control Panel field is not
required when connecting the XRouter Aero. It is normally used to identify
computers in a DHCP network.
4. Close the TCP/IP window and save the changes.
5.2.1 Assigning TCP/IP Values Manually
If you already have a DHCP server on the network, or if you prefer not to use the
XRouter Aero’s DHCP server to assign TCP/IP values automatically, you can
input these values manually.
To manage the computer’s address manually, perform the following steps:
1. In the Connect via menu select the Ethernet interface installed in your
computer. (See Figure 13)
2. In the Configure menu select Manually.

a. In the IP Address field, enter “192.168.1.x” where x is any variable of
your choice ranging from 2 - 253. (We suggest assigning “2” as the first
Manual IP addressed computer and increase by one value numerically
for simple IP management.)
Figure 13
NOTE: No two computers on LAN are allowed to adopt the same IP address
or an IP address conflict will occur. Name Server addresses must be
obtained from your ISP as we have only provided an example here.
b. In the Subnet Mask field enter “255.255.255.0”.
c. In the Router Address field enter “192.168.1.1”, the XRouter Aero’s
default address.
d. In the Name Server Address field enter the DNS addresses in proper
order provided by your ISP. If you do not have this information, call your
ISP and ask for the Primary and Secondary Domain Name Server
numbers.
e. In the Search Domains field enter the domain information provided by
your ISP.
f. Close the TCP/IP window and save the changes.

6.0 BASIC CONFIGURATION
Now that you have completed the configuration of TCP/IP addresses on the client
computer(s), you may begin configuring the XRouter Aero’s Internet settings. This
can be done through a standard Web browser (such as Netscape Navigator 4.7 or
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and higher).
6.1 ISP Connection Types
Before you begin with setting the XRouter Aero configuration, you must verify that
you have one of the following ISP connections:
 Static: If your connection is static, your ISP has provided you with the
necessary values for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway/Router
Address and Domain Name Server addresses.
These would have been configured in the TCP/IP control panel for your
computer to connect to the Internet directly through the modem.
 Dynamic: The XRouter Aero, by default, is configured for a dynamic
connection and can dynamically obtain a WAN IP Address from the ISP so
there is no further configuration needed. Although, we suggest inputting the
DNS numbers into both the TCP/IP control panel of the computer and the
DNS fields on the One Page Setup screen. If you do not have these DNS
numbers, you can obtain them from your ISP.
 PPPoE:
Dynamic PPPoE: The majority of PPPoE connections are dynamic and only
require the configuration of the PPPoE section. However, we do suggest
inputting the DNS numbers into both the TCP/IP control panel of the
computer and the DNS fields on the One Page Setup screen. Such ISPs
using PPPoE are PacBell, BellAtlantic, BellSouth, Southwestern Bell, Bell
Sympatico, Earthlink/Mindspring among others.
Static PPPoE: If your service is Static PPPoE, you will need to input the
static values into the One Page Setup and then continue on to configure the
PPPoE section. However, this type of account is uncommon.
NOTE: Some cable modem ISPs (i.e. Media One, Time Warner, Roadrunner) may
require a MAC Address (hardware address of a network device) to be registered. In
this case, you will need to provide the Public IP MAC Address to your ISP found on
the One Page Setup screen. See the FAQs on our website for further detail. To access
the XRouter Aero’s One Page Setup screen, follow the instructions below.
6.2 Access the Web-Based Config Pages
1. Launch your Web browser.
2. In the URL field, type the XRouter Aero's default IP address (192.168.1.1)
and hit Enter/Return on the keyboard. This is the area where you would
normally enter a Web site address such as “www.macsense.com”. There
must be no Proxy settings configured in your browser preferences.
3. The Username and Password window will then appear. Leave the Username
field blank and type “admin“ as the default password for the XRouter Aero. If

it does not appear, check your cable connections and TCP/IP settings. Also,
see the Troubleshooting Section.
Note: Password is case sensitive so verify that Caps Lock is off.
4. Click OK.
Figure 14
Note: It is recommended to change the default “admin” password of your XRouter
Aero for security purposes. This can be done in the “Device Admin” page of the
web-based configuration of the XRouter Aero. For more information on the “Device
Admin” page please refer to the Advance Configuration section on this manual.
