PPPoE (EWAN) PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) provides access control in a manner similar to dial-up services using PPP. Username: Enter the username provided by your ISP. You can input up to 128 alphanumeric characters (case sensitive). This is in the format of “username@ispname” instead of simply “username”. Password: Enter the password provided by your ISP. You can input up to 128 alphanumeric characters (case sensitive) Service Name: This item is for identification purposes.
Fixed IP Address (EWAN) Select this option to set static IP information. You will need to enter in the Connection type, IP address, netmask, and gateway address, provided to you by your ISP. Each IP address entered in the fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which is four IP octets separated by a dot (x.x.x.x). The Router will not accept the IP address if it is not in this format. Line Speed: Set the downstream and upstream of your connection in kilobytes per second.
Main Port - 3G / 4G The router allows you to insert a 3G / 4G S I M card into to the built-in SIM slot, enabling you to use a, UMTS, GSM, or LTE Internet connection.. Usage Allowance: enable when you want to control 3G / 4G usage. Click this link to enter 3G/4G Usage Allowance to configure. Network Mode: Select your network mode, “Automatic”, “UMTS Mobile only”, “GSM 2G Only”, “UMTS Mobile Preferred”, “GSM 2G Preferred”, “GSM and UMTS Only”, “LTE Only”, “GSM, UMTS, LTE”, “CDMA-EVDO ONLY”.
(Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which authentication type the server is using (when acting as a client), or the authentication type you want the clients to use when they are connecting to you (when acting as a server). When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, while CHAP encrypts the password before sending, and also allows for challenges at different periods to ensure that an intruder has not replaced the client.
PIN: PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. A PIN code is a numeric value used in certain systems as a password to gain access, and authentication. In mobile phones a PIN code locks the SIM card until you enter the correct code. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly into the phone 3 times in a row, then the SIM card will be blocked and a PUK code will be required from your network / service provider to unlock it.
In order to query online time or volume used, you can set the following options. Mode: Two methods are provided, that is, Volume-based and Time-based. Volume-based: If choosing Volume-based, you can view the volume you have used. Only Download: Only make statistics of Download Traffic. Only Upload: Only make statistics of Upload Traffic. Download and Upload: Make statistics of both Download and Upload Traffic. Time-based: If choosing Time-based, you can view the online hours you have used.
You can also assign the billing period. Over usage allowance action: If the online time or traffic you have used exceeds the usage allowance you set. The system will do the followings operations. Save the statistics to ROM: Choose the time interval for saving statistics. You can choose to save for Every one hour or Disable the function.
System There are five items within the System section: Time Zone, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart, User Management and Mail Alert. Time Zone The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button.
Firmware Upgrade Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software it runs. Over time this software may be improved and modified. Your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes. Clicking on Browse allows you to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded to your PC.
Recovery Procedure If your device’s upgrade failed, then you can take emergency recovery procedure to recover. Usually, if the device failed to upgrade successfully, the recovery page will automatically (or you enter 192.168.1.254 at the address bar) turn to the page showed as below, entering the recovery mode. Select the correct file used for upgrade, and press START.
Backup / Restore These functions allow you to save and backup your router’s current settings to a file on your PC, or to restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes. It is advisable to backup your router’s settings before making any significant changes to your router’s configuration. Press Backup to select where on your local PC to save the settings file.
Restart Router Click Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router and save the current configuration to device. If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory default settings.
User Management In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router’s configuration interface, it requires all users to login with a password. You can set up multiple user accounts, each with their own password. You are able to Edit existing users and Add new users who are able to access the device’s configuration interface. Once you have clicked Edit on the account you want to edit, the information of the account will be displayed above. Just go ahead and change the password.
Mail Alert Mail alert is designed to keep system administrator or other relevant personnel alerted of any unexpected events that might have occurred to the network computers or server for monitoring efficiency. With this alert system, appropriate solutions may be tackled to fix problems that may have arisen so that the server can be properly maintained. SMTP Server: Enter the SMTP server that you would like to use for sending emails.
Firewall and Access Control Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet. See the WAN configuration section for more details on NAT.
Packet Filter Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specified internal/external users (IP address) from Internet access, or you can disable specific service requests (Port number) to /from Internet. This configuration program allows you to set up to 6 different filter rules for different users based on their IP addresses or their network Port number.
Attention If the DHCP server option is enabled, you must be very careful in assigning IP addresses of a filtered private IP range to avoid conflicts because you do not know which PC in the LAN is assigned which IP address. The easiest and safest way is that the filtered IP address is assigned to a specific PC that is not allowed to access an outside resource such as the Internet. You configure the filtered IP address manually for this PC, but it stays in the same subnet with the router.
MAC Filter A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure to block specific machines from accessing your LAN. There are no pre-defined MAC address filter rules; you can add the filter rules to meet your requirements. Action：select to determine how to do with the filter. Disable: to disable the MAC filter function.
Intrusion Detection Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your computer without permission. The router automatically detects and blocks a DoS (Denial of Service) attack if a user enables this function. This kind of attack is not to access confidential data on the network; instead, it aims to disrupt specific equipment or the entire network. If this happens, users will have trouble accessing the network resources.
For SYN Flood, ICMP Echo Storm and ICMP flood, IDS will just warn the user in the Event Log but it will not be able to protect against such attacks.
Block WAN PING Check Enable if you wish to exclude outside PING requests from reaching this router.
URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.example.com ) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites from their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements. Keywords Filtering Allows blocking by specific keywords within a particular URL rather than having to specify a complete URL (e.g. to block any image called “advertisement.gif”).
Domains Filtering Checks the domain name in URLs accessed against your list of domains to block or allow. If it matches, the URL request is sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). The checking procedure is: 1. Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the connection attempt is sent to the remote web server. 2. If not, it is checked with the forbidden list. If present, the connection attempt is dropped. 3.
QoS (Quality of Service) Quality of Service Introduction If you’ve ever found your ‘net’ speed has slowed to a crawl because another family member is using a P2P file sharing program, you’ll understand why the Quality of Service features in the routers is such a breakthrough for home users and office users.
addresses or Application ports in this page. For other protocols, at least one value shall be given. ANY: No protocol type is specified. TCP UDP ICMP GRE DSCP Marking: Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), it is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte. DSCP Marking allows users to classify traffic based on DSCP value and send packets to next Router. Note: To be sure the router(s) in the backbones network have the capability in executing and checking the DSCP through-out the QoS network.

destination IP address.) Internal Port: The Application port values for local LAN machines you want to control. (For TCP/UDP packets from LAN to WAN, it is the source port value. For TCP/UDP packets from WAN to LAN, it is the destination port value.) External IP Address: The IP address values for Remote WAN machines you want to control. (For IP packets from LAN to WAN, it is the destination IP address. For IP packages from WAN to LAN, it is the source IP address.
For Mail Sending Here we guarantee 30% of the traffic for Mail application. thus, 20% of LAN to WAN (upsteam) traffic is reserved for other uses and those applications’ bandwidths are guaranteed. For downstream traffic bandwidth, just the direction changes and the configuration is similar. That’s just a simple example for QoS application, for more please refer to FAE.
Virtual Server In TCP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can locate them. If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e.
Port Mapping Application: Select the service you wish to configure. Protocol: Automatic when you choose Application from list-box or select a protocol type which you want. External Port & Internal Port: Enter the public port number & range you wish to configure. Internal IP Address: Enter the IP address of a specific internal server to which requests from the specified port is forwarded. Add: Click to add a new virtual server rule. Click again and the next figure appears. Edit: Check the Rule No.
protocol is determined by the particular application. Most applications use TCP or UDP, however you can specify other protocols using the drop-down Protocol menu. Setting the protocol to “all” causes all incoming connection attempts using all protocols on all port numbers to be forwarded to the specified IP address.
DMZ The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets are checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms, it is then passed to the DMZ host when a packet received does not use a port number in use by any other Virtual Server entries. Internal IP Address: Enter the IP address of a specific internal server to which will be the DMZ Host. Time Schedule: A self defined time period. You may specify a time schedule.
3. Click Delete to delete the one which you want to remove from the except list. Using port mapping does have security implications, since outside users are able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires instead of simply using DMZ or creating a Virtual Server entry for “All” protocols, as doing so results in all connection attempts to your public IP address accessing the specified PC.
Wake on LAN Wake on LAN (WOL, sometimes WoL) is an Ethernet computer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or woken up remotely by a network message. Select: Select MAC address of the computer that you want to wake up or turn on remotely. Add: After selecting, click Add then you can perform the Wake-up action. Edit/Delete: Click to edit or delete the selected MAC address. Ready: “Yes“ indicating the remote computer is ready for your waking up.
Time Schedule The Time Schedule supports up to 16 time slots which helps you to manage your Internet connection. In each time profile, you may schedule specific day(s) i.e. Monday through Sunday to restrict or allowing the usage of the Internet by users or applications. This Time Schedule correlates closely with router’s time, since router does not have a real time clock on board; it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server from the Internet.
Advanced Configuration options within the Advanced section are for users who wish to take advantage of the more advanced features of the router. Users who do not understand the features should not attempt to reconfigure their router, unless advised to do so by support staff. There are seven items within the Advanced section: Static Route, Static ARP, Dynamic DNS, Device Management, SIP_ALG, Part_NAT, IGMP, SNMP Access Control, TR-069 client and Remote Access.
Static Route Destination: The destination subnet IP address. Netmask: Subnet mask of the destination IP addresses based on above destination. Gateway: The gateway IP address to which packets are forwarded. Interface: Select the interface through which packets are forwarded. Cost: Represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 0 and 65535. Static ARP IP Address: Fill in the IP address of the host computer that is sending the data packet.
Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if your ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your 3G / 4G connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP.
Device Management The Device Management advanced configuration settings allow you to control your router’s security options and device monitoring features. Embedded Web Server HTTP Port: The port number of the router’s embedded web server (for web-based configuration uses. The default value is the standard HTTP port, 80. You may specify an alternative if, for example, you are running a web server on a PC within your LAN.

This helps if you do not know the router’s IP address. Follow the steps below to access web configuration. Step 1: Click Start and then Control Panel. Step 2: Double-click Network Connections. Step 3: Select My Network Places under Other Places.
SIP_ALG Select Enabl to activate SIP ALG feature or Disabled to disable this feature. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an IETF-defined signaling protocol, widely used for controlling multimedia communication sessions such voice and video calls over Internet protocol (IP). The protocol can be used for creating, modifying and terminating two-party (unicast) or multiparty (multicast) sessions consisting of one or several media streams. It is a text-based Application Layer protocol.
Port NAT Port NAT is designed to separate ports (Ethernet port1-port3, Ethernet port4 if WAN working in 3G/4G mode, Wireless ports) into different groups to form a virtually independent working group, with each group sharing the same WAN IP. For example, A user has two 3G/4G APNs, and he can put Ethernet port1, port2 and wireless1(three ports mainly connected to devices for simple internet surfing) into a group, sharing interface MOBLE-APN1 to communicate with internet devices.
IGMP IGMP, known as Internet Group Management Protocol, is used to management hosts from multicast group. IGMP Proxy: Accepting multicast packet. Default is set to Disable. IGMP Snooping: Enable or disable the IGMP Snooping function. Without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group.
SNMP Access Control Software on a PC within the LAN is required in order to utilize this function - Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP V1 and V2 Read Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Read Community, and an IP address. This community string will be checked against the string entered in the configuration file. Once the string name is matched, user obtains this IP address will be able to view the data.
ICMP group TCP group UDP group EGP (not applicable) Transmission SNMP group From RFC1650 (EtherLike-MIB): dot3Stats From RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB): dot1dBase group dot1dTp group dot1dStp group (if configured as spanning tree) From RFC 1471 (PPP/LCP MIB): pppLink group pppLqr group From RFC 1472 (PPP/Security MIB): PPP Security Group) From RFC 1473 (PPP/IP MIB): PPP IP Group From RFC 1474 (PPP/Bridge MIB): PPP Bridge Group From RFC1573 (IfMIB): ifMIB
TR-069 Client TR069, (short for Technical Report 069) is a DSL Forum (which was later renamed as Broadband Forum) technical specification entitled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices. It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices. As a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP based protocol it can provides the communication between customer premises equipment (CPE) and Auto Configuration Server (ACS).
Remote Access Remote Access Control Enable: Select Enable to allow management access from remote side (mostly from internet). Duration: Set how many minutes to allow management access from remote side. Zero means always on. Allowed Access IP Address Range Valid: Select Valid to allow remote management from these IP ranges. IP Address Range: Specify what IP address to be allowed to access device from remote side. Click Add to insert management IP address list.
Save Configuration to Flash After changing the router’s configuration settings, you must save all of the configuration parameters to FLASH to avoid losing them after turning off or resetting your router. Click “Save Config” and click “Apply” to write your new configuration to FLASH.
Restart Click Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router (and restore your last saved configuration). If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory default settings.
Logout To exit the router’s web interface, choose Logout. Please ensure that you have saved the configuration settings before you logout. Be aware that the router is restricted to only one PC accessing the configuration web pages at a time. Once a PC has logged into the web interface, other PCs cannot get access until the current PC has logged out of the web interface. If the previous PC forgets to logout, the second PC can access the page after a user-defined period, by default 3 minutes.
Chapter 6: Troubleshooting If your Router is not functioning properly, you can refer first to this chapter for simple troubleshooting before contacting your service provider support.
