Chapter 1

This Chapter provides an overview of the Internet Router's
features and capabilities.
The Internet Router allows multiple SOHO (Small Office Home Office) users to
share a single Internet user account (IP address) over an ISDN phone link. It
provides a low-cost method of giving users of your network easy access to the vast
resources available on the Internet.
Figure 1: Office to Internet
Internet Router Features

The Internet Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to
provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
LAN Features
10/100 BaseT Support. The LAN connection will auto-detect 10BaseT and
100BaseT connections
DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a
dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request.
The Internet Router can act as a DHCP Server.

Internet Router User Guide

Multi Segment LAN Support. If you have a Router, PCs on other LAN
segments can use the ISDN Internet Router to access the Internet. A static routing table is provided to support multiple routers if needed.
Internet Access Features

Shared Internet Account. All users on the LAN can share the same Internet
Account (IP address).
Dial-On-Demand & Auto-Disconnect. A connection is established to the
Internet as required, and automatically disconnected when no longer needed.
This reduces on-line charges to the minimum possible level.
PPP Authentication. This is used to validate the log-on to your Internet

Service Provider.
Advanced Internet Functions.
Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
User-Defined Virtual Servers. Internet users can access non-standard
Internet Servers on your LAN by using this feature.
Special Internet Applications. Internet applications such as Internet Videoconferencing, Telephony, Games Servers, and other specialpurpose Servers are supported.
Exposed Computer. One (1) PC on your local LAN can be exposed to the
Internet. This allows unrestricted 2-way communication between this PC and servers or users on the Internet.
ISDN Features
Easy Configuration. No complex technical data or unintelligible prompts.
Youll be finished in minutes!
Intelligent B Channel Utilization. Internet access will automatically switch
between 1 or 2 B channels, depending on the volume of data.
Outgoing call ID. The Internet Router supports Outgoing call ID for both
MSN (Multiple Subscriber Numbering) and SAD (Sub Address).
Configuration & Management

Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN for configuration.
Remote Management. The Internet Router can be managed, if required,
from a workstation anywhere on the LAN, using a WEB browser. A friendly
utility in MS Windows does the advance setup to achieve functions and performance.
Remote Monitoring. Internet access via the ISDN link, can be monitored
from any workstation on the LAN.
Advanced Functions
Dial-in Remote Access. Remote users can dial in using their ISDN phone line,
and use the ISDN Internet Router to connect to the LAN and access LAN resources..
LAN-to-LAN Connectivity. Using 2 ISDN Internet Routers, 2 LANs can be
connected via the ISDN link. The ISDN Internet Router will dial the remote
LAN whenever required. Operation is completely automatic and transparent.
Security Features
Configuration Data. Optional password protection is provided to prevent
unauthorized users from modifying the configuration.
Firewall Protection. All incoming data packets are monitored and all
incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources.
Firewall Protection
The firewall protection provided by the Internet Router is an intrinsic side
effect of IP sharing. All users on the LAN share a single external IP address. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single
device.

For internal users, the Internet Router acts as a transparent proxy server,
translating the multiple internal IP addresses into a single external IP address.
For external requests, any attempt to connect to local resources are blocked.
The Internet Router will not reverse translate from a global IP address to
a local IP address.
This type of natural firewall provides an impregnable barrier against m alicious attacks.

Setup:
Internet Router
This Chapter explains how to install and configure the Internet

Router for Internet Access.
Overview
Setup involves:
Hardware Installation
Internet Router configuration
PC configuration
Hardware Installation
1. Connect Network Cables
Use standard UTP network cable, with RJ45 connectors, to connect the ISDN
Internet Router to a 10BaseT or 100BaseT hub.
The ISDN Internet Router will auto-detect the network speed (10M or 100M)
and full/half duplex mode.
2. Connect ISDN Phone Line

Using a cable fitted with RJ45 plugs, connect the ISDN port on the Internet Router
to the S/T interface on the ISDN NT-1 (Network Termination 1).
3. Power On and Check the LEDs

Connect the supplied power adapter to the Internet Router. When the Internet
Router is powered On, all LEDs should blink, then, except for the PWR LED, go
off. If LAN and ISDN connection is working fine, the LNK and LK leds will stay
ON.
Setup: Internet Router

If the ERR LED stays on, or both the ERR and LNK LEDs continue to blink, there
is a hardware problem.
Warning!
Only use the power adapter provided. Using a different one

may cause hardware damage.
Internet Router Configuration

There are two methods to configure the Internet Router, one is using web browser
and the other is using utility working in Win95/98/NT. The browser configuration
provides a quick start configuration (only one screen) and an extra utility provides
more powerful configuration for users. But first of all, please make sure that the
default IP address, 192.168.0.1 is used by Internet Router ONLY at the first stage
until you change it to another one after configuration.
Web Browser Configuration

Set DIP switch 2 ON to disable the DHCP server in the Internet Router
Give the Internet Router an IP address compatible with the addresses allocated by the DHCP server. (i.e. the last 3-digit number is NOT within the
addresses allocated by the DHCP server; the other numbers are the same as
the addresses allocated by the DHCP server.)
The Network Mask must be the same as the value used by the DHCP server.
If you wish to use static (fixed) IP Addresses:
Give the Internet Router an IP Address within the same address range as
PCs on your LAN. (Only the last 3-digit number should be different for
each device.)
The IP Sharers Network Mask must be the same value as PCs on your
LAN.
If you want to change the Internet Router IP address,

please read following statements carefully.

LAN Screen
Unless your LAN has a Router, it is usually unnecessary to change the settings
on this screen. An example screen is shown below. This screen has 3 sections
relating to the LAN on which the ISDN Internet Router is installed.
DHCP Server
Routing Table
DNS (Domain Name Server) IP Addresses
Figure 12: LAN Screen
29
DHCP Server
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server provides a valid

IP address, Gateway address and DNS addresses to a DHCP client (PC or
device) upon request.
The ISDN Internet Router can act as a DHCP Server. The default value is
ON (Enabled), and use of this feature is strongly recommended.
To use this feature, ensure that Enable is checked.

Also, the PCs must be configured to act as a DHCP clients. See above
DHCP Client Setup section of Web Browser Configuration for details of
this procedure.
IP Address allocated by the DHCP Server
30
Normally, the default values for the DHCP Server do not need to be
changed. However, if your LAN already has some devices using fixed IP
Addresses, you must ensure that each of those devices uses an IP Address
which is compatible with the IP Addresses allocated by the DHCP Server.
"Compatible" means:
o
The IP Address is from the same address range as the DHCP

Server. By default, the ISDN Internet Router uses the IP Address
range 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254.
The IP Address must NOT be within the group allocated by the

DHCP Server. By default, the ISDN Internet Router allocates addresses between 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.51. Therefore,
addresses between 192.168.0.52 and 192.168.0.254 are available
for other devices.
All devices must use the same Network Mask (Subnet Mask).
If you have non-PC devices on your LAN, it may be more convenient to

change the IP Addresses allocated by the DHCP Server function in the
ISDN Internet Router, rather than change the IP Addresses used by the existing devices.
To do this:

1.
For the Start IP Address, enter the first IP Address of the range of
IP Addresses to be allocated by the DHCP Server.
2.
In the End IP Address, enter the last IP Address of the range of IP

Addresses to be allocated by the DHCP Server function.
3.
Ensure that the range is large enough for all of the PCs and devices which will be acting as DHCP clients and requesting an IP
Address. The default number of clients is 50; the maximum is
253.
Routing Table
This is a static Routing Table. Entries are required only if your LAN contains 1 or
more Routers. See Chapter Routing for further details.
If you are using the ISDN Internet Router for LAN-to-LAN connectivity, an entry
will automatically appear here for the remote LAN you are connecting to. Do NOT
delete this entry.
DNS (Domain Name Server) IP Address

Space is provided for 3 entries. The first entry will display the DNS value entered
on the Quick Setup screen.
Enter additional values if you wish. If multiple entries are provided, the first available DNS will be used.
31
Dial-In Access Screen

The ISDN Internet Router's dial-in feature allows remote users to:
Use an ISDN TA to connect to the ISDN Internet Router, using the same
PPP communication software (e.g. Dial-up Networking) that they use for
dial-in Internet access.
Have their user name and password verified by the ISDN Internet Router.
(Note: If dial-in PPP link security is set to "None", no verification is performed.)
Access the LAN resources as if they were a local user. To other users on
the LAN, the remote users appear to be a local PC, using the IP Address
allocated by the ISDN Internet Router.
For additional security, the dial-back function can be used. In this situation, the
ISDN Internet Router will hang-up the user's incoming connection, and then call
them back.
To use the Dial-in Feature:
1.
Dial-in must be Enabled on the Dial-in Tab.
2.
User access data is required. The options are as follows:
3.
Allow access by anyone and everyone (not recommended) - If

Authentication on the Dial-in screen is set to None, then the user
name and password is not checked, so anyone who dials in can
gain access.
All users use the same log-in - Create a single user (on the Dialin screen) with dial-in access, and all users use this log-in.
Enter data for each user - Each person requiring dial-in access
has their data entered on the Users screen.
The remote user can use the same dial-up software they use for Internet

Internet Application Screen

This screen provides access to some advanced features of the ISDN Internet Router.
Clicking the Internet Application tab will display a screen like the example below.
Figure 16: Internet Application Screen
Special Applications
This feature is only required if you wish to use Internet applications which require
2-way communication, multiple connections, or combined TCP/UDP connections.
41
Examples of such applications are Internet Videoconferencing, Telephony,

Games Servers, and other special-purpose Servers. A number of the more
common applications have been pre-defined, and will appear in the list.
Generally, you will become aware of the need for this feature when an
Internet application is unable to function correctly.
At any time, only one (1) PC can use each Special Application.

43
Virtual Servers
This feature is available only if you are using the ISDN Internet Router for shared
Internet access, rather than for LAN-to-LAN connection.
The Virtual Servers feature allows Internet users to access Servers on your LAN,
via the ISDN Internet Router.
Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because:
Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address.
Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in

this device.
The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to
connect to your servers. However, your LAN must have an existing connection to
the Internet. Internet users cannot open a connection.
Virtual Server operation is illustrated below.
44

Figure 18: Virtual Server Operation
IP Address seen by Internet Users

Note that, in this illustration, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP
Address, but using different protocols.
To Internet users, all virtual Servers on your LAN have the same IP Address.
This IP Address is the IP Address from ISP on the Quick Setup screen. This address
should be static (fixed), rather than dynamic, to make it easier for Internet users to
connect to your Servers.
Using Virtual Servers

1.
Enable the Server type or types you wish to use.

This can be done by clicking within the "Enable" column, to toggle the
value On or Off.
If creating or editing an entry, an Enable checkbox is available.
2.
Enter the IP Address of each server on your LAN.
3.
Click OK when finished.
4.
Advise Internet users of the IP Address to use. (The IP Address allocated

by the ISP, not the address on your LAN.) Note that because all Servers
have the same IP Address, the appropriate client software (e.g. Browser,
FTP client, Mail Client) must be used so that Internet users will be connected to the correct server.
5.
Ensure that the connection to the Internet is established. Internet users

cannot open a connection.
Defining Virtual Servers

If the type of Server you wish to use is not listed, you can define it by clicking the
Add button. You will see a screen like the example below.
45
Figure 19: Virtual Server

Enter data on this screen as follows.
Enable
Use this to Enable or Disable support for this Server, as required.
Protocol
Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used by the Server.
Name
Names can not contain spaces or punctuation, and are case insensitive (case is ignored).
IP Address
The IP Address of the PC on your LAN which is running the

Server software.
Internal Port Enter the port number used by the Server to connect to clients.
Number
The port number used by clients when connecting to the Server.
External
Port Number This is normally the same as the Internal Port Number.
If it is different, this device will perform a "mapping" or "translation" function, allowing you to configure the server to use one port
address, while clients use a different port address
46
Exposed Computer
This feature, if enabled, allows one (1) computer on your LAN to be exposed to all
users on the Internet, allowing unrestricted 2-way communication between the
"Exposed Computer" and other Internet users or Servers.
Internet users will see the PC as having the IP Address allocated by ISP
shown on the Quick Setup screen of this device. (This is the same IP Address used by the Virtual Servers.)
Any Internet user who knows this address can connect to the Exposed
Computer. (What happens after connection depends on what software both
computers are using).
This allows connection to special-purpose servers which require proprietary client software, or 2-way user connections such as Video-conferencing,
which requires both users to run special software.
To allow unrestricted access, the Firewall in this device is disabled,

creating a security risk.
You should use this feature only if the "Special Applications" feature
is insufficient to allow an application to function correctly.
This feature should be enabled only when required.
Operation
Enter the IP Address of the PC on your LAN which you wish to be the Exposed Computer.
Enable this feature as and when required.
47
LAN-to-LAN Screen
The LAN-to-LAN feature allows the ISDN Internet Router to connect to a

remote LAN, via the ISDN link.
The remote LAN must also have an ISDN Internet Router or compatible
device; each device must be configured to connect to the other. One Server
can be configured to initiate the connection, or both can dial-up as necessary. (In the latter case, there is a possibility that neither can connect
because each is dialing the other.)
NAT (Network Address Translation - the feature that allows all PCs on the
LAN to share 1 external IP Address, and also provides firewall protection)
is disabled when using the LAN-to-LAN function.
Selecting the LAN-to-LAN tab will reveal a screen like the following example.

Chapter 5
Routing
This Chapter explains the Routing features of the Internet Router.
Overview
While the ISDN Internet Router includes a standard routing table, this feature can
be completely ignored if you do not have a router in your LAN.
If you DO have a router, it is necessary to configure BOTH the Router and the
Routing table in the ISDN Internet Router correctly, as described in the following
sections.
Router Configuration
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the
ISDN Internet Router, so that they can be forwarded to the Internet. To achieve this,
the Routers must be configured to use the ISDN Internet Router as the Default
Route or Default Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the ISDN
Internet Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the ISDN Internet
Router itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should
be configured as follows.
Destination IP Address
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Network Mask
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Gateway IP Address
The IP Address of the ISDN Internet Router.

64
Routing
1
Metric
Other Routers
Other routers must use the ISDN Internet Router's Local Router as the Default
Route. The entries will be the same as the ISDN Internet Router's local router, with
the exception of the Gateway IP Address.
For a router with a direct connection to the ISDN Internet Router's local
Router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the ISDN Internet
Router's local router.
For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching
the ISDN Internet Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermediate router.
Routing Example
Figure 23: Routing Example

For the LAN shown above, with 2 routers and 3 LAN segments, the required
entries would be as follows.

Appendix A
Troubleshooting
This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions.
Overview
This section covers some common problems that may be encountered while using
the Internet Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested
steps and the Internet Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for
further advice.
Internet Access
Problem 1
Cant connect to the Internet Router to configure it.
Solution 1
Check the following:
The Internet Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON.
Ensure that your PC and the Internet Router are on the

same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this
must be the case.)
Ensure that your PC is using an IP Address within the

range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thus compatible
with the Internet Router's default IP Address of
192.168.0.1.
In Windows, this is done by using Control PanelNetwork to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.
You can also use the WinIPcfg program by entering
WinIPcfg (without the quotes) in the Run dialog
box.
Problem 2
When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.
Solution 2
A number of things could cause this. Try the following

troubleshooting steps.
73

troubleshooting steps.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
If using static IP Addresses, ensure that your workstations IP settings are correct, including IP address, default
gateway and DNS.
Ping the Internet Router. Use the Run command to
enter the following command:
Ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address assigned to the
Internet Router.
If the ping command fails, check that the Internet Router
is connected and ON. If it is connected and on, there is a
problem with your LAN.
Run your Browser and connect to the Internet Router.
On the ISDN screen, check that Operation is set to
"Enable".
Check the ISDN Status screen, and examine the Connection Log. For details of the Log messages.
Problem 3
Some applications do not run properly when using the

Internet Router.
Solution 3
The ISDN Internet Router processes the data passing through

it, so it is not transparent.
The Internet Application screen has 2 features designed to
assist with running non-standard applications:
74
Special Applications
Exposed Computer
You should use the Special Applications feature if
possible. If necessary, additional applications can
be defined, using data provided by the service provider.
Remember that at any time, only one (1) user can
use a particular Special Application.
If this cannot be made to work, use the Exposed
Computer feature. This is a security risk, so
should only be used if essential.
r
Problem 4
My modem can't establish a connection to the ISDN Internet

Router.
Solution 4
You can NOT use a modem. You must use an ISDN TA, and
establish an ISDN link.
Problem 5
When using Dial-in, I get an IP Address conflict involving

the dial-in PC.
Solution 5
This can happen if you are not using the DHCP Server
feature of the ISDN Internet Router.
The ISDN Internet Router must allocate an IP Address to the
dial-in PC, even if the DHCP Server is disabled. It uses the
IP Address shown in the Start IP Address field for the DHCP
Server, on the LAN tab. If this causes an IP Address conflict,
you can change this value as follows:
1.
On the LAN tab, enable the DHCP Server function.
2.
Select an unused IP Address from the address range

used on your PC, and enter in the Start IP Address
field.
3.
Disable the DHCP Server function.
