Important safety instructions  
These precautions explain how to safely operate your new router, preventing  
injury to you or to others, or damage to the router.  
Warning - read this carefully before proceeding.  
• Do not open the router or attempt to disassemble or modify it.  
• Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the router.  
• Do not expose the router to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet  
conditions, or place containers on it that contain liquids which might spill  
into openings.  
• Follow the Installation Guide and this User Guide carefully. Follow the  
correct procedures when setting up the router.  
Introduction to broadband router  
technology  
A router is a device that forwards data packets from a source to a destination using  
IP addresses, not MAC addresses. A router forwards data from the Internet to a  
particular computer on your network.  
The information that makes up the Internet gets moved around using routers.  
When you click on a link on a Web page, you send a request to a server to show  
you the next page. The information that is sent and received from your computer  
is moved from your computer to the server using routers. A router also determines  
the best route that your information should follow to ensure that the information  
is delivered correctly.  
A router controls the amount of data that is sent through your network by  
eliminating information that should not be there. This provides security for the  
computers connected to your router, because computers from the outside cannot  
access or send information directly to any computer on your network. The router  
determines which computer the information should be forwarded to, then sends  
it. If the information is not intended for any computer on your network, the data is  
discarded. This keeps unwanted or harmful information from accessing or  
damaging your network.

Firewalls  
A firewall is a device that is set up between your computer and the Internet which  
prevents unauthorized access to or from your network. A firewall can be a  
computer using firewall software or a device built specifically to act as a firewall.  
In most circumstances, a firewall is used to prevent unauthorized Internet users  
from accessing your network.  
A firewall analyzes all of the information moving to and from your network and  
analyzes each piece of data and checks it against a set of criteria that the  
administrator sets. If any data does not meet the criteria, that data is blocked and  
discarded. If the data meets the criteria, the data is passed through. This is called  
packet filtering.  
A firewall can also run specific security functions based on the type of software or  
type of port that is being used. For example, a firewall can be configured to work  
with an FTP or Telnet server, or with specific UDP or TCP ports to allow certain  
software or games to work correctly over the Internet.  
LANs and WANs  
A Local Area Network (LAN) is several computers connected together within a  
small area such as a building or group of buildings. A collection of LANs connected  
over a large area is called a Wide Area Network (WAN).  
Although there are many ways to connect computers together, the most common  
way is Cat-5 cable (UTP or STP twisted pair wire). Wireless networks, which use  
radio waves instead of wires, are becoming more common. Each computer must  
have a Network Interface Card (NIC), which transfers the data between computers.  
A NIC can be a 10 Mbps, 10/100 Mbps, or 10/100/1000 Mbps network card.  
Most networks use hardware devices such as hubs or switches to connect  
computers. A hub takes any data arriving through each port and forwards the data  
to all other ports. A switch is more sophisticated, in that a switch can determine  
the destination port for a specific piece of data. A switch minimizes network traffic  
overhead and speeds up communication over a network.

Setting up the router  
Network settings  
To use the router, you must correctly configure the network settings of your  
computers. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.0.1, and the default  
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed as needed, but  
the default values are used in this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your  
computer has not yet been configured, see “Configuring your computers” on page  
45, for information.  
We recommend that you configure your computers to obtain TCP/IP settings  
automatically from the DHCP server feature of the router.

server which will automatically assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN.  
Set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to Obtain  
an IP Address Automatically. When you turn your computers on, they will  
automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the router. The DHCP  
Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to  
the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the  
IP address pool.

CONFIGURING A VIRTUAL SERVER  
The router can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing  
Web or FTP services with a public IP address can automatically be redirected to  
local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).  
The router firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN so  
that all computers networked with the router are invisible to the outside world. If  
you want, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet  
by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the router  
redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN  
network.  
The router is also capable of port-redirection. Port-redirection takes incoming  
traffic to a particular port and redirects it to a different port on the server  
computer.  
Each virtual service that is created are listed at the bottom of the screen in the  
Virtual Servers List. Pre-defined virtual services are already in the table. You can  
use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular  
virtual service.
