This product is the perfect option to connect a group of PCs to a high-speed Broadband Internet connection or to an Ethernet based Backbone (ETTH/ETTB: Ethernet to the Home/Building). Configurable as a DHCP server, this product is the only externally recognized server device on your local area network (LAN). Thus even a non-technical person will easily configure it to meet other popular applications. This product does not only provide a complete solution to share the Internet bandwidth, it also serves as an Internet Firewall to protect your LAN data from being accessed by outside intruder/hacker. Since all incoming data packets can be analyzed or monitored, all unwanted packets may be filtered-out and be recorded as an intrusion event. EE400-R can also be configured to block some internal LAN user's access to the Internet for management purpose. Secure Internet Access via Cable/DSL Modem. Chapter 1 - Features Connects to 10/100M Broadband (cable or DSL) modem or Ethernet backbone for Internet Surfing. Multiple WAN connection type: Static IP : for lease line or router-router interconnect. DHCP client : for most cable modem service. PPPoE : for Dial-up ADSL service, PPTP client : for some European Dial-up ADSL or L2-VPN application Equipped with a 4-port 10/100M switched Hub for LAN users. DHCP Server/ DNS proxy support (can save an extra PC/Server in LAN). All the networked computers in LAN can retrieve TCP/IP setting (IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS) automatically from this device. Simultaneously act as both DHCP Server on the LAN and a DHCP Client on the WAN for most easy application. Connects multiple LAN PCs to the Internet with only one dynamic-assigned IP address (NAT mode) or a range of legal IP address (NAT/Routing mode) 5 Web-based configuring it is configurable through any networked computer's web browsers using Internet Explorer or Netscape browser. Allow/Deny remote administration through WAN connection by Web browser. Firewall capability to protect LAN PCs from outside intruder access/attack. Avoid unwanted packet from WAN (Wide Area Network) and provide a system event log to record intrusion information. (Date/Time, Source IP address & Port) LAN user Access privilege Administrator can arrange interior LAN user's access privilege to Internet by IP address, TCP/IP port service, URL name keywords and 24-hour time zone. Virtual Server (Port forwarding) function Internet servers (WWW, FTP, E-mail ...) in LAN could be virtually exposed to WAN for outside Internet user access. This is a useful and secure network deployment for Internet servers. DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) Host Administrator can expose a host PC in LAN to the Internet without any firewall protection mechanism. This option allows a full two-way communication between the local host PC and remote Internet node. (ex. bi-directional games, video/audio conferences ...) Multi DMZ Host support In static IP configuration with a range of legal IP address, Administrator could totally expose more host PCs in LAN to the Internet according to LAN/WAN IP address mapping.

This section will be divided into three parts. Part one is for cable internet setup, part two is for DSL internet setup and part three is for Macintosh Users. *Note* the http://192.168.8.1 is the main console page for the EE-400R. Internet connection is NOT required upon installation of this router. Any computer that is connected to the router's port 1-4 is capable of changing the settings on the router. It does not have to be a designated port or computer to change the settings of the router. Before you start Make sure the internet connection from your ISP is working. Check to see if there is a connection coming through your ISP (modem) to your computer. Also, check and see if the lights are properly on when the router is connected with the computer(s) and the modem. Part 1 Cable internet setup Section 1 1. Turn off the cable modem and the router 2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the cable modem to the WAN port of the router 3. Connect your computers to ports 1-4 on the router 4. Power on the router 5. Power on the modem 6. Power on your computer *Note* Make sure the WAN LED light and ports 1-4 LED lights are ON at the front panel of the router. Section 2 1. At the desktop (Windows based Operating System). Go to `Start' > `Run' and input this address: http://192.168.8.1 and press `enter' 2. Your internet browser should automatically open up the `Broadband Router' page Example: 8 3. The password for the Administration Password is `admin'. It is case sensitive so make sure the CAPS key is not on. Once `admin' is entered, click on `Login' to enter the router's configuration page. *Note* Make sure the `WAN IP address', `WAN Subnet Mask', `WAN Gateway', and `WAN DNS' are filled with numbers. This indicates that the router is communicating with the modem (your ISP). If you are able to get those numbers, most likely you're on the internet. *Note* the next step is for those who can log onto the router page but cannot get an internet connection through the ISP. (WAN IP addresses all show 0's) 9 4. The page should look like this after you have logged onto the next page. The next step is to click on the `Administration' to the left side of the screen. 10 5. At the bottom of the `Administration' section you should see a button says `Clone MAC'. Click on `Clone MAC' (this will let the router copy the MAC address on the Ethernet adapter.) 6. There should be a confirmation after you click on the `Clone MAC' button. Acknowledge it and restart the computer afterwards. If you still have trouble getting an internet connection or have other questions please follow the instructions in our FAQ section. Part 2 DSL internet setup Section 1 1. Make sure that DSL account Login ID and Password is in hand (i.e.: username@your_internet_company.net) 2. Connect the DSL modem to the WAN Port on the router with an Ethernet cable 3. Connect your computer(s) to port 1-4 on the router with Ethernet cable(s) 4. Turn the computer(s), DSL modem, router ON if they are off at this point 11 *Note* Make sure the WAN LED light and ports 1-4 LED lights are ON in the front panel of the router. Section 2 1. At the desktop (Windows based Operating System). Click `Start' > go to `Run' > and type in this address in the box: http://192.168.8.1 and press `enter'. Your internet browser should automatically open up the `Broadband Router Status' page (See Part 1 ­ Section 2 {2} for image). If the page shows `Page cannot be displayed' or blank then please go to our FAQ section for more helpful information. 2. Enter default password `admin' in the `Administration Password' column (make sure CAPS key is OFF) and click `Login' 3. Once you have successfully logged onto the Broadband Router page, you should see a list of various links on the left side of your screen. (See Part 1 ­ Section 2 ­ {4} for image) 4. At this point the `WAN IP' addresses should show all 0's. It is usual and common because the router hasn't been setup to have a connection between your ISP and the EE-400r. Please click on `WAN' under `EZ Setup' and the page should look like this after: 12 *Note* In case if the WAN IP addresses are listed, it means the router is getting a connection from the modem (your ISP). Try to see if you can go onto the internet by reopening your internet browser and input a website URL. If you still cannot get online, please see FAQ. If you do not get any numbers and they are all 0.0.0.0 please continue with the installation. 5. Most of DSL internet service providers have PPPoE type of connection. Bubble in `PPPoE' as your `WAN Connection Type' and it should bring down a longer menu with `PPPoE Account' that is where you input your full primary e-mail address from your ISP (i.e. username@domain.net) * Some DSL ISP use only a username as your PPPoE Account name 6. Next, type in the password for that e-mail account in `PPPoE Password' 7. `PPPoE Service Name', `Dial on Demand', and `Auto Disconnect when Idle' should be left as is. After finishing the input on the `PPPoE Account' and `PPPoE Password', press the `Save & Restart' button for the changes to take effect. 8. A `Connect' or a `Disconnect' button should appear after the `Save and Restart'. If it appears to be `Connect', then click on the `Connect' button and the router will try to communicate with your ISP. Once the process is finished, the `Connect' button will become a `Disconnect' button and if a `Disconnect' appears, then it means you're already on the internet and ready to surf the net. Aftermath Congratulations, you have just successfully installed the EE-400r. You should notice after the connection has been established, the `Broadband Router Status' page will display a list of `WAN IP Addresses'. This shows that there has been a connection going through the modem and the router. After this point, you don't have use your DSL dial up software no more on your computer. *Note* If no connections were made or the ISP did not establish a connection to your EE-400r, please refer to our FAQ page. Thank you. Part 3 Macintosh Users Section 1 Since Macintosh uses the same type of internet browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape etc.), users can follow the same procedures provided under Part 1 (for cable broadband internet services) or Part 2 (for DSL/PPPoE based internet services). Some Macintosh based Operating System might require some changes under its configuration. The steps below will most likely allow your Macintosh system to communicate with the EE-400r after the changes have been made. Section 2 (For Macintosh OS 8.0 & 9.0) 1. Boot up your Macintosh computer 2. Make sure all cables are plugged in and all the proper lights are on 3. Click on the `Apple' icon to bring up the menu 4. Click on `Control Panel' 13 5.
