Introduction to Broadband Router Technology A router is a device that forwards data packets from a source to a destination. Routers forward data packets using IP addresses and not a MAC address. A router will forward data from the Internet to a particular computer on your LAN. 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.
Introduction to Local Area Networking Local Area Networking (LAN) is the term used when connecting several computers together over a small area such as a build ing or group of buildings. LAN’s can be connected over large areas. A collection of LAN’s connected over a large area is called a Wide Area Network (WAN). A LAN consists of multiple computers connected to each other. There are many types of media that can connect computers together. The most common media is CAT5 cable (UTP or STP twisted pair wire.
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) PPTP uses proprietary means of connecting two private networks over the Internet. PPTP is a way of securing the information that is communicated between networks. PPTP secures information by encrypting the data inside of a packet. IP Security (IPSec) IPSec provides a more secure network-to-network connection across the Internet or a Wide Area Network (WAN). IPSec encrypts all communication between the client and server whereas PPTP only encrypts the data packets.

Network Settings To use the DI-704P correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your computers. The default IP address of the DI-704P 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, you can refer to Appendix B to configure it. For example, 1. configure IP as 192.168.0.3, subnet mask as 255.255.255.
2. Is the TCP/IP of your computers properly configured? If the IP address of the DI-704P is 192.168.0.1, the IP address of your computer must be 192.168.0.X (where “X” is a number between 2 and 254. Each computer on your network must have a different IP address within that range where “X” represents a number between 2 and 254.) The default gateway must be 192.168.0.1.
Configuring the Ethernet Broadband Router The DI-704P provides Web based configuration. You can configure your DI-704P through your Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer browser in MS Windows, Macintosh or UNIX based platforms. Start-up and Log in Activate your browser, and disable the proxy or add the IP address of the DI-704P into the exceptions . Then, type the IP address of the DI-704P into the Location (for Netscape) or Address (for IE) field and press “Enter.” For example: http://192.168.0.1.
is ”admin”) in the System Password field and click on the Log in button. If the password is correct, the web appearance will be changed into administrator configure mode. As listed in its main menu, there are several options for system administration.
Device Information This option allows you to observe the DI-704P’s working status: A. Modem Status B. Printer Status. The possible kinds of printer status include “Ready,” “Not ready,” “Printing…,” and “Device error.” When a job is printing, there may appear a “Kill Job” button on the “Sidenote” column. You can click this button to stop the current printing job manually.
Useful Tools This function enables you to change the administrator password, and get information about the Firmware version and the WAN's MAC Address. At this window you can: • • • View the system logs by clicking the View Log button. Restart the DI-704P by clicking the Reboot button. Backup your settings by clicking the Backup Setting button and save it as a bin file. Once you want to restore these settings, please click the Firmware Upgrade button and use the bin file you saved.
Setup Before you begin the Setup, you must choose the correct WAN type. 1. LAN IP Address: the DI-704P’s IP address. The default address is 192.168.0.1. You can change the LAN IP Address if needed. 2. WAN Type: your ISP’s WAN Connection type. Click the Change button to choose from the following five options: A. Static IP Address: you manually input the IP Address that your ISP assigned to you. B. Dynamic IP Address: Obtain an IP address automatically from the DI-704P’s DHCP Server function. C.
Below are the five WAN types and the fields required to implement them: 1. Static IP Address Enter the proper setting provided by your ISP for the following fields: WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary and Secondary DNS 2. Dynamic IP Address • • 3. PPP over Ethernet • • • 4. Host Name: optional. Required by some ISPs, for example, @Home.
5. PPTP Just follow steps below to configure the PPTP WAN type: • Set My IP Address as the IP address that the ISP assigned to your PC, e.g. 10.0.0.140. • Set My Subnet Mask as the mask that the ISP assigned to your PC, e.g. 255.255.255.0. • Set Server IP Address as the IP address of the DSL modem, e.g. 10.0.0.138. • Input the PPTP Account and Password. • Input the Connection ID if your ISP requires it. • Save the setting and restart the router. • In the Command prompt, type PING 4.0.0.1.
DHCP Server The DI-704P includes a DHCP Server. If you select “Enable” the DHCP Server, and you configure the computers on your network to “Obtain an IP Address automatically,” then when you turn your computer “ON,” it will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings from the DI-704P. You will not have to configure all the TCP/IP settings for your network manually. The settings for the DHCP server are as follows: 1. DHCP Server: Choose “Disable” or “Enable.” 2.
Virtual Server The firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet; so all computers networked with the DI-704P are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of them accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping. A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the Server IP. For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.0.1, a Web server (port 80) at 192.168.0.
Special Applications Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony and so on. Due to the firewall function, these applications cannot work without some intervention. Spe cial Applications makes some of these applications work with the DI-704P. If Special Applications is still insufficient to allow an application to function correctly, try the DMZ Host in the Miscellaneous Items options.
Access Control Access Control allows you to assign different access rights for different users. First, you have to divide users into different groups. Users are identified by their IP addresses. You can assign members to Groups 1, 2 and 3. The others are all members of the Default Group. Next, you have to assign the Access Right of each group. Access Right can allow or block users access to specified TCP and UDP ports.
Miscellaneous Items IP Address of the DMZ Host: The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host is a host without the protection of a firewall. It allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted 2-way communication. (Note: this feature should be used only when needed.) Remote Administrator Host: In general, only a member of your network can browse the built-in web pages to perform “Administrator” tasks. This feature enables you to perform “Administrator” tasks from the remote host.
MAC Address Control MAC Address Control allows you to assign different access rights for different users and to assign a specific IP address to a certain MAC address. MAC Addre ss Control Check Enable to enable the MAC Address Control. All of the settings in this page will take effect only when Enable is checked. Connection control Check Connection control to control what wired and wireless clients can connect to this device.
MAC Address IP Address C MAC address indicates a specific client. Expected IP address of the corresponding client. You may choose to leave this field empty. When " Connection control" is checked, check "C" to allow the corresponding client to connect to this device. Near the bottom of the MAC Address Control window, the following pull-down menu and button will help you to input the MAC address. Select a specific client in the “DHCP clients” pull-down menu.
Appendix A: Resetting the System Password or the IP Address When you forget the system password or the IP address of the DI-704P, you will need to reset them. Use a null modem cable (an RS-232 cable) to connect your computer and the DI-704P using the serial ports of both machines (the com port on the DI-704P is a serial port.) After you have made the connection, launch a terminal program, such as the Hyper Terminal of MS Windows 95. The connection parameters should be set to 19200 8-N-1. Reboot the DI-704P.
