1. Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless Router's features and ca-
pabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless Router. The Wireless Router 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.
• Wireless Access Point for 802.11b Wireless Stations.
Figure 1: Wireless Router
1.1 Wireless Router Features
The Wireless Router 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 Wireless Router, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid)
IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Ad-
dress Translation).
• DSL & Cable Modem Support. The Wireless Router has a 10BaseT 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.
• PPPoE, PPTP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond Support. The Internet (WAN
port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Pro-
tocol), SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as "Direct Connection" type
services.
• Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the Wireless
Router 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 unrestricted 2-way
communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability
to run programs which are incompatible 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.
• VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software
using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.
Wireless Features
• Standards Compliant. The Wireless Router complies with the IEEE802.11b (DSSS)
specifications for Wireless LANs.
• Speeds to 22Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11b maximum of 11Mbps are supported, as
well as the TI "B+" enhancement which allows 22Mbps between compatible devices.
• WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of
64 Bit, 128 Bit and 256 Bit (for TI devices only) are supported.
• Access Control. The Access Control feature can ensure that only trusted Wireless
Stations can access your LAN.
• Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed
quickly and easily.
LAN Features
• 4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless Router incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT switch-
ing 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 Wireless Router 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 Wireless Router'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 or WLAN for configu-
ration.
• Remote Management. The Wireless Router 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 discovery and con-
figuration of the Wireless Router. 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 configuration data and settings.
• Wireless LAN Security. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is supported, as well as
Wireless access control to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.
• NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech-
nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single 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 Wireless Router.
• Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom-
ing 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 requests, using so much band-
width and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless
Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

Reset Button This button has two (2) functions:
• Reboot. When pressed and released, the Wireless Router will
reboot (restart).
• Clear All Data. This button can also be used to clear ALL data
and restore ALL settings to the factory default values.
To Clear All Data and restore the factory default values:
1. Power Off.
2. Hold the Reset Button down while you Power On.
3. Keep holding the Reset Button for a few seconds, until the RED
LED has flashed TWICE.
4. Release the Reset Button. The Wireless Router is now using the
factory default values.
WAN port
(10/100BaseT) Connect the DSL or Cable Modem here. If your modem came with a
cable, use the supplied cable. Otherwise, use a standard LAN cable.
10/100BaseT
LAN connections Use standard LAN cables (RJ45 connectors) to connect your PCs to
these ports.
Power port Connect the supplied power adapter here.
2. Installation
This Chapter covers the physical installation of the Wireless Router.
2.1 Requirements
• Network cables. Use standard 10/100BaseT network (UTP) cables with RJ45 connectors.
• TCP/IP protocol must be installed on all PCs.
• For Internet Access, an Internet Access account with an ISP, and either of a DSL or Cable
modem (for WAN port usage)
• To use the Wireless Access Point, all Wireless devices must be compliant with the
IEEE802.11b specifications.
2.2 Procedure
Figure 4: Installation Diagram
1. Choose an Installation Site
Select a suitable place on the network to install the Wireless Router.
Ensure the Wireless Router and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF.
8
For best Wireless reception and performance, the Access
Point should be positioned in a central location with mini-
mum obstructions between the Access Point and the PCs.
Also, if using multiple Access Points, adjacent Access
Points should use different Channels.
Installation

2. Connect LAN Cables
Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on the Wireless
Router. Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously.
3. Connect WAN Cable
Connect the DSL or Cable modem to the WAN port on the Wireless Router. Use the cable
supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was supplied, use a standard cable.
4. Power Up
• Power on the Cable or DSL modem.
• Connect the supplied power adapter to the Wireless Router and power up.
Use only the power adapter provided. Using a different one may cause hardware damage
5. Check the LEDs
• The Power LED should be ON.
• The Status LED should flash, and then turn OFF. If it stays on, there is a hardware error.
• For each LAN (PC) connection, the LAN Link/Act LED should be ON (provided the PC is
also ON.)
• The WAN LED should be ON.
• The WLAN LED should be ON
