Installing the Router
Connect the ADSL Line and Telephone
• Use an RJ-11 cable to connect the wall phone jack to the
line-end of the splitter (see below illustration of splitter).
• Attach another RJ-11 cable to the splitter, the modem-end,
and connect the other end to the router port labeled ADSL.
• The final RJ-11 cable will be connected between the
phone-end of the splitter and the telephone.
NOTE: See connections on the installation diagram.
Connect the PC to the Router
• Connect one end of the RJ-45 cable to one of the 4 LAN
ports on the back of the router and the other end to the
Ethernet port of your computer.
• Attach any additional PCs to the router using RJ-45 cables
to the LAN ports on the back panel of the router.
Connect the Power Adapter
• Finish up by connecting the AC power adapter to the
POWER connector on the back of the router and plug the
adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.
• Turn on and boot up your PC and any LAN devices, such

• ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)
• AH (Authentication Header)
• ESP (Encapsulation Security Protocol)
• ALL—all protocols
When a source host sends secure datagrams to a destination
host, it does so with either the AH protocol or with the ESP
protocol. The AH protocol provides source authentication and
data integrity but does not provide secrecy. The ESP protocol
provides data integrity and secrecy.
• Source IP / Destination IP—select from all, single, or subnet
• IP Address-- this is the IP address of the host from where
the packet is coming from and where the packet is going.
• Netmask—this is the subnet mask of the source and
destination of the packet.
• Source Port / Destination Port—enter the port numbers of
the packet’s source and destination.
• Enable—click if you want to enable packet filtering.
MAC Filter
To control traffic by using MAC addresses, configurations can be
set as follows—
For MAC Address Control, select disable if you do not want to
filter by MAC addresses at all. Selecting Deny All means that you
will not allow any MAC addresses to enter and Permit All means
that you will let all MAC addresses to enter. The MAC Address
Control List allows you to control certain MAC addresses by
permitting or denying their access.

NAT
NAT Settings
NAT (Network Address Translation) is a technique in which the
source and/or destination address of IP packets are rewritten as
they pass through a router or firewall. Generally, it is used to
allow several hosts on a private network to access the Internet
using a single public IP address. This screen allows you to
enable or disable NAT.
Virtual Server
Your router has the option to be configured as a virtual server.
The private IP and private port is the LAN IP and port number that
the public port is redirected to. The WAN side will only see the
public port. Depending on the requested service (TCP / UDP port
number), the router will redirect the external service request to the
appropriate server.
Port Mapping
Port Mapping allows WAN clients to access services on the LAN
by controlling the incoming port ranges assigned to the server IP.
The LAN side acts as the server and the WAN side acts as the
client. Enter the IP address of the LAN and a set or a range of
port numbers that you will allow to access the specific server.
The Port Mapping screen has several fields that need to be filled
out before the setup is complete. Below is the required
information—
• Server IP—the IP address of the local machine.
• Mapping Ports—a range of ports or a specified port where
packets are to be routed.
• Enabled—to enable a specified entry of the port mapping.
DMZ
DMZ (demilitarized zone) allows contained hosts to provide
services to the external network, while protecting the internal
network from possible intrusions into those hosts.

SNMP Settings
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) settings can be
accessed here. Settings here include the following—
• Enable SNMP—to enable this feature, click the box.
• Read Only Community--The SNMP Read-Only Community
String is like a password. It is sent along with each SNMP
Get-Request and allows (or denies) access to device. The
router is shipped with a default password of "public". It’s a
good idea to change the community string to keep intruders
from getting information about the network setup. Even if
it's only read-access, SNMP can divulge a lot of information
about the network that could be used to compromise it.
• Read Write Community—this is set to private (this should
never be set to public).
• Enable Trap—to enable the trap, click the box. A SNMP
Trap is an unsolicited message from a device to an SNMP
console that the device is in an interesting state. Traps
might indicate power-up or link-up/down conditions
temperatures exceeding certain thresholds, high traffic, etc.
Traps provide an immediate notification for an event that
might only be discovered during occasional polling.
• Trap Host IP—the IP address of the trap host.
• Trap Port—the port number of the trap host.
• Trap Community—public or private.
