It also acts as a Network Address Translation (NAT) device and let home users use private IP addresses to access the Internet from single or multiple global IP addresses. ESG-103 provides home users an environment protected by its NAT-type firewall. Because its WAN side is also an Ethernet interface, which is the same as its LAN interface, you can easily plug it into any access device, such as an ADSL/ Cable modem or router, which provides Ethernet interfaces in the LAN side to run for NAT function. 1.2 Key Features FTP Server LAN WAN Internet ESG-103 Host ADSL/Cable Modem Telnet Server Application Illustration 1.2.1 Being a router between two Ethernet interfaces The ESG-103 connects one Ethernet interface, which is from ADSL/Cable modem's LAN side as its WAN interface. It provides users in its 10/100 base-TX LAN side which can share a single valid IP address. From this kind of configuration, users do not need to apply for a valid IP address for everyone in its LAN side to access Internet. This function can be enabled or disabled. If users apply for many public IP addresses for some purpose, they are also able to use those IP addresses to connect to the Internet. Chapter 1 Introduction - 1 1.2.2 Three ways to acquire WAN's IP address There are three ways to acquire ESG-103's WAN IP address. The first one is to assign its WAN interface a static valid IP address. Second, users can also acquire ESG-103's WAN IP address by PPPoE and this functionality can help users need not to install PPPoE client software in their own hosts. The last one is to obtain WAN's IP address from DHCP server. Some service providers offer their clients IP addresses by DHCP protocol, and ESG-103 can act as a DHCP client in its 10/100 base-TX WAN side to acquire its WAN IP address. In fact, ESG-103 is an outstanding device, which provides a 10/100 base-TX WAN port. 1.2.3 Act as a DHCP server in its LAN side ESG-103 can act as a DHCP server in its LAN side, and this functionality can help users need not to configure their own IP addresses. When users are booting their machines, ESG-103 will assign each machine an IP address and other useful information, such as DNS server's IP address etc. 1.2.4 Virtual Server Users can set up different kinds of servers behind their ESG-103 and remote users in the Internet can access these inside servers by ESG-103's virtual server function. 1.2.5 Firewall via NAT (Network Address Translation) ESG-103 also plays a role of NAT-type firewall. A NAT-type firewall provides users a secure LAN environment and prevents from being accessed by any anonymous people who desire to do something bad on your network. 1.2.6 Web Management Users can configure and manage ESG-103 by their own web browsers (IE or Netscape). This means that users wherever they are can manage ESG-103 without any proprietary application installed in their PC. Chapter 1 Introduction - 2 1.2.7 Firmware Upgrade ESG-103 provides an efficient way to upgrade the firmware. Users can use web browser to upgrade firmware and also can use TFTP client to do this job. 1.3 Packing List This packing includes the following parts: (1) 1 x ESG-103 Broadband Router (2) 1 x User's Guide (3) 1 x Power Adapter (4) 1 x Quick Installation Guide (5) 1 x CAT-5 UTP Fast Ethernet Cable ESG-103 Broadband Router User's Guide Power adapter Installation Guide Cat-5 UTP Cable Chapter 1 Introduction - 3 Chapter 2 Hardware Installation This chapter will describe how to set up ESG-103 step by step. After you've set up your ESG-103 well, then you may need to configure your WAN setting to match the mode that you've applied for from your ISP or NSP. 2.1 Back Panel 2.2 Check the components you need To set up your ESG-103, you need some components described as below: (1) 1 x ESG-103 Broadband Router (2) 1 x Power Adapter (3) 1 x CAT-5 UTP Fast Ethernet Cable (4) 1 x ADSL/Cable Modem (or other broadband device with Ethernet Interface) (5) 1 x Ethernet Network Card Chapter 2 Hardware Installation - 4 2.3 Connect ESG-103 to your ADSL / Cable Modem (1) Turn off the power of your ADSL / Cable Modem (2) Pick up one RJ-45 Category-5 cable and plug one end of this cable into your ADSL / Cable's LAN port (3) Plug the other end of this cable into ESG-103's WAN port 2.4 Connecting PC to your ESG-103 (1) Pick up the other RJ-45 Category-5 cable and plug one end of this cable into any one of the switch ports (2) Plug the other end of this cable into the RJ-45 port of your PC's network card Chapter 2 Hardware Installation - 5 2.5 Power on (1) Connect your power adapter to DC inlet to power on your ESG-103 (2) Turn on ADSL / Cable modem's power (3) Finish 2.6 LED Indication LED Power Status State On (Green) On (Orange) Indication A steady power LED shows that the power is applied. When power is on, ESG-103 will do some initialization jobs. Then this LED will blink steadily. When connect to the ADSL / Cable modem, the LED should be green. If this LED is not being lighted, this means link fails. When data is transmitted or received, this LED will be blinking. When ESG103 is connected to your PC, the LAN LED should be on. When data is transmitted or received, this LED will be blinking. Link (Green) WAN TX / RX (Green) LAN 1X,2X, 3X,4X Link (Green) TX / RX (Green) Chapter 2 Hardware Installation - 6 Chapter 2 Hardware Installation - 7 Chapter 3 Configuration This chapter describes the web-based ESG-103 configuration in detail. The ESG-103 broadband sharing router has a structured menu and a "Quick Installation Wizard" page to help user quickly set up their ESG-103. This chapter explains each of these menu sections. When the ESG-103 boots up at the first time, it has a default IP address "192.168.1.1" assigned to its LAN interface. In order to configure ESG-103, please point an Internet browser from the browsing host to http://192.168.1.1 and you will be presented with the log in screen as shown below. You must log in with the correct user name and password to start the ESG-103 configuration in a MD5 authenticated web session. For setting up this MD5 authenticated session, the default user name is "admin", and the default password is also "admin". We strongly recommend that - you should change the root password as described in the Admin Password section. Once your log-in is successful, you will be presented with a welcome web page. In that page, you can proceed with ESG-103 configuration or link to BenQ's web site for advanced information. Chapter 3 Configuration - 8 3.1 Quick Installation Wizard 3.1.1 WAN Parameters ESG-103 provides three ways to get an IP address in its WAN interfaceFixed IP, DHCP, and PPPoE. There are three radio boxes in this configuration page and you can choose one of which is suitable for your access environment. If you are assigned a Static IP setting in your WAN port by the ISP provider, you have to choose Fixed IP mode and enter the settings, such as the IP address, IP subnet mask, and ISP gateway address, which you can get from the ISP provider. If you have a DHCP server coexisting in your WAN port or your ISP (NSP) provides DHCP services for you, then you can choose DHCP Client mode to acquire an IP address to access the Internet. Most of the ADSL service providers not only provide their customers dedicated IP address but also provide dial-in service. If you apply for dial-in service from your ISP, you can choose PPPoE to access Internet unless your ISP provider does not provide PPPoE as its dial-in solution. In brief, most ADSL users use PPPoE mode to get an IP from their ISP or NSP and cable mod ...
