Chapter 1
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.
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.
1
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).
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.
Requirements
ISDN line, fitted with a NT-1 (Network Termination 1) termination and RJ45
sockets for S/T connection.
Package Contents
The following items should be included:
Power Adapter.
One (1) 1.44M floppy disk or CD, containing the configuration utility.

LAN Settings
We recommend that you use the DHCP server function in the Internet Router.
If you wish to use the built-in DHCP server:
No changes are required. However, all devices on your LAN must either be a
DHCP Client OR use a compatible IP Address and Network mask.
If your LAN already has a DHCP server:
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.
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.
Click the Save button and then the Internet Router device IP
address is changed to your setting. At this time, your PC may be
not in the same network mask as Internet Router if you change it
to another segment. You need to re-configure your PC to the
same segment as Internet Router. Then you can access Internet
Router again.

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
29
DHCP Server
The ISDN Internet Router can act as a DHCP Server. The default value is
ON (Enabled), and use of this feature is strongly recommended.
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
All devices must use the same Network Mask (Subnet Mask).
For the Start IP Address, enter the first IP Address of the range of
IP Addresses to be allocated by the DHCP Server.
2.
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.
31
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.
2.
3.
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
access. Once connected, the remote user can access LAN resources as they
normally would. They will appear to other LAN devices as a normal PC on
the LAN, using the IP Address allocated by the ISDN Internet Router.
32

After this time period, the user is disconnected. Allowable values are 0
(default) to 999 minutes. Zero means no time limit.
Call Back
Options are:
Disabled:- User can simply dial-in; the device will not hangup and call back.
Roaming:- After providing their name and password, the
user is prompted for the call-back number.
Fixed:- The number entered in the Telephone No. field is
always used as the call-back number.
Remote Users
Remote users can use the same dial-up software they use for Internet access. They
should check the following:
Their ISDN TA must dial the telephone number of the ISDN Internet
Router.
Their software should be set to obtain an IP Address from the dial-in host.
(This is the standard configuration; no changes should be required.)
Upon connection, the ISDN Internet Router will allocate a suitable unused
IP Address.
When prompted for user name and password, they must enter the Name
and Password stored in the ISDN Internet Router.
Once connected, the remote user can access LAN resources as they normally would.
They will appear to other LAN devices as a normal PC on the LAN, using the IP
Address allocated by the ISDN Internet Router.

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:
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.

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.
You should use this feature only if the "Special Applications" feature
is insufficient to allow an application to function correctly.
Operation
Enter the IP Address of the PC on your LAN which you wish to be the Exposed Computer.
47

Routing
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
Network Mask
Gateway IP Address
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.

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
Solution 1
The Internet Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON.
Problem 2
Solution 2
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
Solution 3
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
Solution 4
You can NOT use a modem. You must use an ISDN TA, and
establish an ISDN link.
Problem 5
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:
