1: Introduction  
Congratulations on the purchase of your new MULTI-WAN GATEWAY. The MULTI-WAN  
GATEWAY not only provides a selection of 2~8 WAN ports – it also provides Shared Broadband  
Internet Access for all LAN users.  
Figure 1-1: MULTI-WAN GATEWAY  
Internet Features  
Flexible use of WAN ports  
There are up to 8 WAN ports available for use on the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY. The user can  
decide how many WAN ports to use by changing settings in the web page setup area. (The  
default setting is 2 WAN ports). This gives increased flexibility for Internet bandwidth access. If all  
8 WAN ports are not used, the remaining WAN ports will be available as LAN Ports, but by  
default, at least 2 of the ports will be used as WAN ports.

Shared Broadband Internet Access  
All LAN users can access the Internet through the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY by sharing from one  
(1) up to eight (8) Broadband modems and connections.  
High-Performance multi ADSL Modem Support  
The MULTI-WAN GATEWAY has eight (8) WAN ports, allowing the connection of up to eight (8)  
Broadband modems at the same time.  
This can provide a greater increase in bandwidth than is allowed by a single modem.  
This flexible configuration allows each port to use a different type of modem and connection  
method. Also, the Internet traffic that is shared between the 8 modems can be pre-determined.  
Support for all common Connection Methods  
All popular DSL, Cable Modems and connection methods are supported. These include - Fixed  
IP, Dynamic IP, PPPoE and PPTP.  
Load Balancing and Failover  
There are a variety of load balancing methods that allow administrators to manage the traffic from  
LAN or WAN in order to maximize bandwidth - as well as smart health check methods to protect  
against connection failure for failover.  
PPPoE Session Management  
Multiple PPPoE sessions are supported and you can choose “mapping” sessions to selected PCs  
if desired.  
Multiple IP Address Support  
If your ISP allocates you multiple IP addresses, these are also supported and you can “map” IP  
addresses to selected PCs if desired.  
Special Application  
This feature allows you to use some non-standard applications; for example, where the port  
number used for the response is different to the port number used by the sender.  
Virtual Server  
This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. For standard servers  
such as Web, FTP or E-Mail servers, only the IP address of the server PC is required. You can  
also define your own Server types if required.  
Multiple DMZ  
A "DMZ" PC will receive incoming connection requests which would otherwise be blocked. For  
each IP address allocated by your ISP, a separate "DMZ" PC can be specified. So if your ISP has  
given you multiple IP addresses, you can have multiple “DMZ” PCs. With the MULTI-WAN  
GATEWAY, each “DMZ” PC has unrestricted 2-way Internet access, providing the ability to run  
programs that are otherwise normally incompatible with NAT routers.  
Access Filter  
The network Administrator can use the Access Filter to gain fine control over the Internet access  
and applications available to LAN users. Five (5) user groups are available and each group can  
be assigned unique access rights.  
Page 2  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Block URL  
This feature can be used by the Administrator to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN  
users. You can even assign different settings for different groups of PCs.  
Session Limit  
With the Session Limit feature, if the number of new sessions for the system exceeds the  
maximum allowance set by the Administrator in the sampling time, any new session in the system  
will be dropped.  
System Filter Exception  
This feature ensures that every packet with an unrecognized port will be rejected so as to prevent  
access to port scanning programs from hackers. However, in some situations this may incur  
problems with some servers (e.g. SMTP server port 113) or WAN clients which require a  
response packet to verify the availability of their communication peers.  
Other Features  
16-Port Switching Hub  
The MULTI-WAN GATEWAY incorporates a 16-port 10 /100BaseT switching hub, making it easy  
to create or extend your LAN as needed.  
DHCP Server Support  
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices  
upon request. The MULTI-WAN GATEWAY can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local  
LAN.  
Multi Segment LAN Support  
LANs comprising of one or more segments or additional IPs are supported via the MULTI-WAN  
GATEWAY's built-in static routing table.  
Easy Setup  
Setup and configuration is easily accomplished through your favorite WEB browser.  
Remote Management  
The MULTI-WAN GATEWAY can be managed from any PC on your LAN. Also, if an Internet  
connection exists, it can (optionally) be configured via the Internet.  
Password - protected Configuration  
Optional password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the  
configuration data and settings.

HTTP Firmware Upgrade and backup  
The web management feature allows you to use HTTP upgrade for new firmware and backup  
system configuration from a local or even remote site, as long as “Remote upgrade” and “Remote  
web-based setup” is enabled in the Advanced feature web page.  
Email Alert  
The Email Alert will send a warning email message to the system administrator if any of the WAN  
ports become disconnected when more than two WAN ports are enabled or if there is excessive  
ping notification.  
Syslog  
This is a very useful feature for monitoring the device in that it can generate real time system  
information on the web page or on a particular machine.  
QoS Configuration.  
This function will allow higher priority pass-through for specified packets such as real-time  
applications like Internet phone, video conference, etc.  
UPnP  
When UPnP (Universal Plug & Play), is set to “Enable” - the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY becomes a  
network device. This feature is useful for detecting and controlling network devices such as  
Internet gateways.

be suitable.  
Page 11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Settings – LAN & DHCP  
LAN IP Configuration  
IP Address – IP address for the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY, as seen  
from the Local LAN. Use the default value unless the address is  
already in use or your LAN is using a different IP Address range.  
Subnet Mask –The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small  
(class "C") networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for  
the LAN segment to which the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY is attached.  
(The same value as the PCs on that LAN segment.)  
Optional  
Configuration  
DHCP Server Setup – If set to “Enable”, the MULTI-WAN  
GATEWAY will assign IP Addresses to the PCs (DHCP clients) on  
your LAN when they start up. The default and recommended value is  
"Enable". (Windows systems, by default, act as DHCP clients. This  
setting in the Windows Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties is:  
Obtain an IP address automatically.)  
LAN Any IP – By default this option is disabled. If you enable “LAN  
Any IP”, then no matter what, the static IP address is held on the  
client (your PC). The client does not need to change the IP address,  
even though it has a different IP segment than the LAN segment. It  
can still access the Internet through NAT.  
DHCP Configuration  
Lease Time – This is a finite period of time for a DHCP server to  
lease an IP address to a client.  
DNS Server IP for Client – An IP address of the default DNS server  
for the client requesting DNS service.  
Offered IP Range – The fields set the values used by the DHCP  
server when allocating IP addresses to DHCP clients. This range  
also determines the number of DHCP clients supported.  
View DHCP List  
This table shows the IP addresses which have been allocated by the  
DHCP Server. For each address which has been allocated, the following  
information is shown:  
Free Entry – Indicates how many IP addresses the DHCP server can  
allocate to DHCP clients.  
Name – The "hostname" of the PC. In some cases, this may not be  
known.  
MAC Address – The physical address (network adapter address) of  
the PC.  
IP Address – The IP address that is allocated to this PC.  
Type – Indicates whether the IP address is to be dynamic or static.  
Status – If Dynamic, the IP address was allocated by this DHCP  
Server. If Sniffed, the IP address was detected by examining the LAN  
rather than allocated by the DHCP Server. In this case, the Name is  
usually not known.  
Time Left – The time expired since the IP address was leased.

2. Installing the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY in your LAN  
Figure 2-4: Installation Diagram  
1. Ensure that the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY and any DSL/Cable modem(s) are powered-OFF.  
Leave the modem or modems connected to their data lines.  
2. Connect the Broadband modem(s) to the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY.  
If using only one (1) Broadband modem, connect it to port 1.  
Use the cable supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was supplied, use a standard  
cable.  
3. Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the LAN ports on the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY.  
Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously.  
If you need to connect the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY to another Hub, just use a standard LAN  
cable to connect any LAN port on the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY to a standard port on another  
hub. Any LAN port on the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY will automatically act as an "Uplink" port  
when required.  
If devices are connected to the 2 WAN ports (1 and 2), the remaining ports (3 to 16), are LAN  
ports.  
4. Power-Up  
Power-on the Cable or DSL modem(s).  
Connect the supplied power cord to the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY and power-up.  
5. Check the LEDs  
The Power LED should be ON.  
Page 14  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The Link/ACT LED should be ON if the corresponding WAN port is connected to a  
broadband modem.  
For each PC connected to the LAN ports, the corresponding LAN LED (either 10/Yellow or  
100/Green) should be ON.  
3. Configuring the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY for Internet Access  
To configure access to the Internet, first decide how many WAN ports you are going to use. The  
pull down menu on the MAX WAN web page (Figure 2-5) will let you setup the WAN port numbers.  
You can choose from two (2), up to eight (8) WAN ports. Once you have selected how many ports  
you are going to use, click on Submit. You may then proceed to the Primary Setup page.  
Figure 2-5: MAX WAN  
Select Primary Setup from the menu. You will see a screen like in the example below.  
Configure each WAN one by one through the Interface column pull-down menu.  
For any of the following situations, refer to Chapter 3: Advanced Port Setup, for any further

default values are satisfactory.  
Load Balance is only functional if you are using multiple WAN ports. It allows you to determine  
the proportion of WAN traffic sent through each port.  
Advanced PPPoE setup is required if you wish to use multiple sessions on each WAN port. It  
can also be used to manually connect or disconnect a PPPoE session. Otherwise, this screen  
can be ignored.  
Advanced PPTP setup is required if using the PPTP connection method.

Settings – Port Options  
WAN Port – Select a particular WAN port from the pull-down menu to  
setup WAN port configuration.  
Interface  
MTU – The Maximum Transmission Unit for the Ethernet data. This  
is used to determine the packet size to be used on the WAN  
interface. Normally, this does not need to be changed but if your ISP  
advises you to use a particular MTU, enter it here. The default MTU  
value is 1500 Bytes.  
Connection Health  
Check  
Method – There are three methods available for checking if a WAN  
port is alive or not. Multiple choices can be selected when using it.  
Disable will not perform an Alive Indicator Check. By default, Health  
Check is set to Enable. If the “Alive Indicator” input box is left blank,  
Health Check performs an ICMP echo packet request to the specific  
destination. This could be either a URL or an IP Address specified  
by users in the “Alive Indicator” input box or WAN interface  
gateway.  
Interval – The interval time for device health check. The default  
interval time is 60 seconds.  
Alive Indicator – This is the IP address used to check if the WAN  
connection is operating. The MULTI-WAN GATEWAY will contact  
this system to check if the WAN connection is working or not. You  
may change this address if you wish. Default is the gateway IP.  
Note: This is not used for PPPoE connections.  
Transparent Bridge  
Option  
Bridge Mode – If set to Enable, this WAN port doesn’t use NAT &  
Load Balance function when the LAN/WAN IP have the real IP  
addresses on the same network segment.  
NetBIOS Broadcast – If you enable the NetBIOS Broadcast, this  
will allow you to access files through the Microsoft network  
neighborhood.

Transparent Bridge  
Options (For all  
interfaces)  
Traffic Management –  
Strict Binding: Traffic from bridge hosts (eg. transparent to  
WAN1) can only go through the specified WAN interface  
(eg. WAN1).  
Loose Binding: This acts as a failover mechanism for transparent  
bridge mode. Traffic from bridge hosts (eg. transparent to  
WAN1) can go through any WAN interface (eg. WAN2 or  
other) when bind interface (eg. WAN1) is down.  
Load Balancing: This acts as a load balancing mechanism for  
transparent bridge mode. Traffic from bridge hosts (eg. transparent  
to WAN1) can go through any WAN interface (eg. WAN1, 2 or  
other) based on the loading mechanism specified in the load  
balance section.  
ARP Table – The ARP Table is used by the device to determine  
the bridge hosts’ location (e.g. inside/outside WAN and which  
WAN). Its size can be adjusted if needed. View ARP Tables  
displays ON/OFF selection of bridge mode on each WAN port.  
Clear ARP Tables disables bridge mode on all WAN ports.

Overview  
The following features are provided in Advanced Setup:  
Host IP  
Routing  
Virtual Server  
Special Application  
Dynamic DNS  
Multi DMZ  
UPnP Setup  
NAT Setup  
Advanced Feature  
This chapter contains details on the configuration and use of each of these features.  
Host IP  
This feature is used in the following situations:  
You have Multi-Session PPPoE and wish to bind each session to a particular PC on your LAN.  
You wish to use the Access Filter feature. This requires that each PC is identified by using the  
Host IP screen.  
You wish to have different Block URL settings for different PCs. This requires that each PC is  
identified by using the Host IP screen. (You do not have to use the Host IP feature to apply the  
same Block URL settings to all PCs.)  
You wish to reserve a particular (LAN) IP address for a particular PC on your LAN. This allows the  
PC to use DHCP (In Windows this setting is configured as: "Obtain an IP address automatically")  
while gaining the benefits of a fixed IP address. The PC's IP address will never change, allowing it  
to be provided to other users and applications.

Enter the MAC address of this Host.  
Select Group – Select the group you wish this Host to be included in.  
Reserve in DHCP – Select Enable to reserve a particular (LAN) IP address  
for a particular PC on your LAN. This allows the PC to use DHCP (In Windows  
this setting is configured as: "Obtain an IP address automatically") while  
retaining an IP address that never changes.  
Reserved IP Address – Enter the IP address you wish to reserve, if the  
setting above (Reserve in DHCP) is set to Enable. Otherwise, ignore this field.

Host Network  
Binding  
Binding WAN Port / Session – Select Enable if you wish to associate this  
PC with a particular PPPoE session. All traffic for that PC will then use the  
selected PPPoE port and session.  
Binding Method – Suppose your PC is bound to WAN1 port and you select  
“Strict Binding.” If WAN1 port is disconnected, your packets cannot go  
through another WAN port, if it is still alive. If you select “Loose Binding” then  
if WAN1 port becomes disconnected, your packets will automatically go to  
another WAN port, if it is alive.  
Select WAN Port / Select PPPoE session – If the Binding Method setting  
above is set to Enable, select the desired Port and Session. Otherwise, ignore  
these settings.  
Note: Multiple PPPoE sessions are defined on the Advanced PPPoE screen.

Routing  
This section is only relevant if your LAN has other Routers or Gateways.  
If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the Static Routing  
page completely.  
If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, you must configure the Static Routing screen as  
described below. You also need to configure the other Routers.

Configuring Other Routers on your LAN  
All traffic for devices not on the local LAN must be forwarded to the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY so that it  
can be forwarded to the Internet. This is done by configuring other Routers to use the MULTI-WAN  
GATEWAY as the Default Route or Default Gateway, as illustrated by the example below.

Virtual Server  
This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet  
users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because:  
Your Server's IP address is only valid on your LAN, not on the Internet.  
Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in the MULTI-WAN  
GATEWAY.  
The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your  
servers, as illustrated below.

Multi-WAN Load Balancer  
Figure 4-4: Virtual Server  
Note that, in this illustration, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP Address but using  
different protocols.  
Connecting to the Virtual Server  
Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use the  
MULTI-WAN GATEWAY's Internet IP Address (the IP Address allocated by your ISP).  
e.g.  
To Internet users, all virtual Servers on your LAN have the same IP Address. This IP Address is  
allocated by your ISP.  
This address should be static, rather than dynamic, to make it easier for Internet users to connect  
to your Servers. However, you can use the Dynamic DNS feature (explained later in this chapter)  
Page 34  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
to allow users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, instead of an IP Address.  
e.g.  
This screen allows you to define your own Server types.

Special Application  
If you use Internet applications which have non-standard connections or port numbers, you may find  
that they do not function correctly because they are blocked by the firewall in the MULTI-WAN  
GATEWAY. In this case, you can define the application as a "Special Application" in order to make it  
work.

Once the Special Applications screen is configured correctly, you can use the application on your  
PC normally. Remember that only one (1) PC can use each Special application at any time.  
Also, when 1 PC is finished using a particular Special Application, there may need to be a "Time-  
out" period before another PC can use the same Special Application.  
If an application still cannot function correctly, try using the "DMZ" feature, if possible.

Dynamic DNS  
Dynamic DNS is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Internet users to  
connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.  
This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your IP  
address may change each time you connect to your ISP, making it difficult to connect to you.  
You must register for the Dynamic DNS service. The MULTI-WAN GATEWAY supports 3 types of  
service providers:  
(Other sites may offer the same service, but can not be guaranteed to work)  
To use the Dynamic DNS feature  
1. Register for the service from your preferred service provider.  
2. Follow the service provider's procedure to have a Domain Name (Host name) allocated to you.  
3. Configure the Dynamic DNS screen, as described below.  
4. The MULTI-WAN GATEWAY will then automatically update your IP Address recorded by the  
Dynamic DNS service provider.  
5. From the Internet, users will now be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC) using  
your Domain name.

Multi DMZ  
This feature allows each WAN port IP address to be associated with one (1) computer on your LAN.  
All outgoing traffic from that PC will be associated with that WAN port IP address. Any traffic sent to  
that IP address will be forwarded to the specified PC, allowing unrestricted 2-way communication  
between the "DMZ PC" and other Internet users or Servers.  
Note:  
The "DMZ PC" is effectively outside the Firewall, making it more vulnerable to hacker attacks or other  
intrusions. For this reason, you should only enable the DMZ feature when required.

Configuration  
IDENT Port – Port 113 is associated with the Internet's (Identification /  
Authentication) service. When a client program in your computer contacts a  
remote server for services such as POP, IMAP, SMTP, that remote server  
sends back a query to the "Ident" server running in many systems listening  
for these queries on port 113. This means that hackers can probe port 113  
as a rich source of your personal information. The default value of this  
check box is “Disable”  
Block Selected ICMP Types – These settings determine whether or not  
this device should respond to ICMP requests received from the WAN port.  
If checked, the selected packet types are blocked. Otherwise, the packets  
are accepted.

6: QoS Configuration  
Overview  
The MULTI-WAN GATEWAY incorporates a QoS (Quality of Service) utility to provide high quality  
network support service.  
Because it classifies outgoing packets based on policies defined by users, real-time applications  
should respond or perform better.  
QoS Setup  
The following web page instructs you on setting up and enabling QoS.  
Figure 6-1: QoS Setup  
Settings – QoS Setup.  
QoS Feature  
Š Enable QoS – Checkbox allows users enable QoS mechanism. If set to  
"enable" QoS. QoS will allocate Inbound/Outbound bandwidth to pass through  
the device.  
WAN Inbound / Outbound Bandwidth –This allows you to set the maximum  
inbound or outbound bandwidth, maximizing your network's performance. This  
information can be obtained from your ISP  
Set Policy Button –Setting the policy can allocate Inbound/Outbound  
bandwidth (based on your configuration) to pass through this device.  
Page 54  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Policy Configuration  
Setting the QoS policy can allocate Inbound/Outbound bandwidth (based on your configuration) to  
pass through this device. You can define some policies which classify received packets based on  
Local/Remote IP, MAC, port and protocol type. This feature is useful when the WAN link is very busy  
or congested or when using special applications that need real time services such as Internet phone,  
video conference...etc.  
.
Figure 6-2: Policy Configuration  
Settings – QoS Policy  
WAN Inbound  
/ Outbound  
Policy  
Policy Name –The name of a policy which is used to classify the received  
packets based on the following types for your memory  
Local / Remote Address, Port –Specify a packet based on Local/Remote  
address or port. Address has two types: IP address and MAC address. By  
default, the IP address is 0.0.0.0 for all IP Addresses but the MAC address is  
00-00-00-00-00-00 which cannot be used to classify.  
Port and Protocol Type define all packets for special applications  
Protocol Type – The field defines traffic packet type, i.e. IP, TCP and UDP.  
Maximum Guaranteed Bandwidth –This device supports Bandwidth  
queues. When a packet meets a policy rule requirement, it will be put into the  
responding queue. The queue will send them use the guaranteed bandwidth.  
If the rest bandwidth is enough it will try to arrive the maximum bandwidth.

Overview  
TCP/IP Settings  
If using the default MULTI-WAN GATEWAY settings and the default Windows  
95/98/ME/2000 TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.  
By default, the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a  
suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.  
For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client.  
If you wish to check your TCP/IP settings, the procedure is described in the following sections.  
If your LAN has a router, it must be reconfigured by the LAN Administrator.  
Checking TCP/IP Settings - Windows 9x/ME:  
1. Select Control Panel - Network. You should see a screen like the following:

Appendix C  
Troubleshooting  
Overview  
This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the MULTI-WAN  
GATEWAY and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the MULTI-  
WAN GATEWAY still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice.  
General Problems  
Problem 1:  
Can't connect to the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY to configure it.  
Solution 1:  
Check the following:  
The MULTI-WAN GATEWAY is properly installed, LAN connections are OK,  
and it is powered ON. By default, Port 1-2 of this device are WAN ports, the  
others are LAN ports. Otherwise you have changed Maximum WAN ports.  
Ensure that your PC and the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY are on the same  
network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)  
If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP client), restart  
it.  
If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP  
Address within the range 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 and thus compatible  
with the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY’s default IP Address of 192.168.1.1.  
Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the MULTI-  
WAN GATEWAY. In Windows, you can check these settings by accessing  
Control Panel-Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.

Internet Access  
Problem 1:  
When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.  
A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting steps.  
Solution 1:  
Check if other PCs are working. If they are, ensure that your PC’s IP settings  
are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Network Mask,  
Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address.  
If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the MULTI-WAN  
GATEWAY. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to it and check its  
settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and power connections.)  
If the MULTI-WAN GATEWAY is configured correctly, check your Internet  
connection (DSL/Cable modem etc.) to see if it is working correctly.  
Problem 2:  
Some applications do not run properly when using the MULTI-WAN  
GATEWAY.  
Solution 2:  
The MULTI-WAN GATEWAY processes the data passing through it, so it is not  
transparent.  
Use the Special Applications feature to allow the use of Internet applications which  
are not functioning correctly.  
If this does solve the problem, you can use the DMZ function. This should work with  
most applications, however:  
It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled for the DMZ PC.  
Only one (1) PC can use this feature.
