2.2. Installation Requirements The DI-707 can be positioned at any convenient place in your office or house. No special wiring or cooling requirements is needed. However, you should comply with the following guidelines to install: 4
Place the DI-707 on a flat horizontal surface. Keep the DI-707 away from excessive heat. Do not place the DI-707 in a dusty or wet environment.
The recommended operational specifications of DI-707 are: Temperature Humidity 5 o C ~ 55 o C 10 % ~ 90 %
In addition, remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you install the DI-707. 2.3. Procedure for Hardware Installation 1. Setup LAN connection: connect an Ethernet cable from your computers Ethernet port to one of the LAN ports of the DI-707.

Figure 2-5 Setup of LAN connections for DI-707. 2. Setup WAN connection: prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting the DI-707 to your cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet backbone. Figure 2-5 illustrates the WAN connection. 3. Connecting DI-707 with other hubs: In case you need not to connect with another hub, skip this step. If you want to connect DI-707 with another hub, connect one of the ports 1-7 to that hub 5
by crossover Ethernet cable. If the hub you connected has an UPLINK port, you can also connect DI-707 with straight through Ethernet cable to that UPLINK port.
Power on: Connect the power cord to a power outlet and turn the power switch on. The DI-707 will automatically enter the self-test phase. When in the self-test phase, the indicators M1 and M2 will be lighted ON for about 5 seconds, and then M1 and M2 will flash three times to indicate that the self-test operation has finished. Finally, the M 1 will flash continuously once per second to indicate that the DI-707 is in normal operation.
Chapter 3 Network Settings and Software Installation
To use the DI-707 correctly, you must properly configure the network settings of your computers and install the attached setup program into your MS Windows platform (Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000). 3.1 Make correct network settings to the computer The default IP address of the DI-707 is 192.168.0.1, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed to meet your need, 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 192.168.0.5, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 192.168.0.1, or, 2. configure your computers to load TCP/IP settings automatically, via the DHCP server built into the DI-707. Note: Restart your computer every time you make any changes to your network settings. After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol, you can use the ping command to check if your computer has successfully connected to the DI-707. The following example shows the ping procedure for Windows 95 platforms. First, execute the ping command ping 192.168.0.1 If the following messages appear: Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.0.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64 A communication link between your computer and the DI-707 has been successfully established. Otherwise, if you get the following messages, Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data: 7

Request timed out. there must be something wrong with the installation. Follow the steps again to make sure the network settings are correct. You should check the following items in sequence: 1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the DI-707 and your computer? Tip: The LAN LED of the DI-707 and the link LED of network card on your computer must be lighted. 2. Is the TCP/IP environment of your computers properly configured? Tip: If the IP address of the DI-707 is 192.168.0.1, the IP address of your computer must be 192.168.123.X and default gateway must be 192.168.0.1.
Chapter 4 Configuring The DI-707
The DI-707 provides a Web based configuration scheme, that is, configuring by Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer. This approach can be adopted in any MS Windows, Macintosh or UNIX based platform. 4.1 Start-up and Log in
Activate your browser, open settings, and disable the proxy or add the IP address of the DI-707 into the exceptions box. Then, type the DI-707s IP address [for example (default setting): http://192.168.0.1] in the Location (for Netscape) or Address (for IE) field and press ENTER. After the connection is established, you will see the web user interface of the DI-707. There are two appearances of web user interface: for general users and for system administrator. To log in as an administrator, enter the system password (the factory setting is admin) in the System Password field and click on the Log in button. If the password is correct, the web appearance will change into administrator configuration mode. As listed in its main menu, there are several options for system administration.

4.2 Status

This option provides the function for observing the DI-707s working status: A. WAN Port Status. If the WAN port is assigned a dynamic IP, a Renew or Release button may appear. You can click this button to renew or release the IP manually. B. Modem Status. C. Firmware version and WAN's MAC Address.

4.3 Tools

This option enables you to change the administrator password, view the log, and clone the MAC address. You can also reboot the DI-707 by clicking the Reboot button. Note: We strongly recommend that the system password be changed for security reasons. If you forget the system password, please refer to Appendix A to reset a new one.

4.4 Setup

This option is crucial to enable the DI-707 to work properly. The setting items and the web appearance depend on the WAN type. Choose correct WAN type before you start. 1. LAN IP Address: the DI-707s IP address. The default address is 192.168.0.1. You can change it to your need. 2. WAN Type: WAN connection type of your ISP. You can click the Change button to choose a correct one from the following four options: A. Static IP Address: ISP assigns you a static IP address. B. Dynamic IP Address: Obtain an IP address from ISP automatically. C. PPP over Ethernet: Some ISPs require the use of PPPoE to connect to their services. D. Dial-up Network : To surf the Internet via PSTN/ISDN.

4.4.1 Static IP Address WAN IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary and Secondary DNS: enter the proper setting value provided by your ISP. 4.4.2 Dynamic IP Address 1. 2. Host Name: optional. Required by some ISPs, for example, @Home. Renew IP Forever: this feature enables the DI-707 to renew its IP address automatically when the lease time is expired even if the system is idle. 4.4.3 PPP over Ethernet 1. PPPoE Account and Password : the account and password your ISP assigned to you. If you don't want to change the password, keep it empty. 2. 3. PPPoE Service Name: optional. Input the service name if your ISP requires it. Maximum Idle Time: the maximum time the connection is idle before you are disconnected from your ISP and your PPPoE session is terminated. 4.4.4 Dial-up Network 1. Dial-up Telephone, Account and Password: assigned by your ISP. If you don't want to change the password, keep it empty. 2. Primary and Secondary DNS: automatically assigned if they are configured as "0.0.0.0." 3. Maximum Idle Time: the time of no activity before you are automatically disconnected from your dial-up session. 4. Baud Rate: the communication speed between the DI-707 and your MODEM or ISDN TA. 5. Extra Setting: optional settings to optimize the communication quality between the ISP and your MODEM or ISDN TA. Use if your ISP recommends and provides these settings. 13

4.5 DHCP Server

The settings of TCP/IP environment include Host IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS configurations. It is not a simple task to correctly configure all the computers in your LAN environment. Fortunately, DHCP provides a rather simple approach to handle all these settings. The DI-707 supports the function of DHCP server. If you enable the DI-707s DHCP server and configure your computers as automatic IP allocation mode, then when your computer is powered on, it will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings from the DI-707. The settings of DHCP server include the following items: 1. 2. DHCP Server: Choose Disable or Enable. Range of IP Address Pool: Whenever there is a request, the DHCP server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool. 3. Domain Name: Optional, this information will be passed to the client.

4.6 Virtual Server

The DI-707s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all hosts behind the DI-707 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 192.168.0.5, a Web server (port 80) at 192.168.123.2, and a VPN server at 192.168.123.6, then you need to specify the following virtual server mapping table: Service Port 1723 Server IP 192.168.0.5 192.168.0.6 192.168.0.Enable V V V

4.7 Special AP

Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony and so on. Due to the firewall function, these applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. Special Applications enables some of these applications to work with a NAT router. If Special Applications is still insufficient to allow an application to function correctly, try DMZ host in the Misc Items options. 1. 2. Trigger: the outbound port number the application issued first. Incoming Ports: when the trigger packet is detected, the inbound packets to the specified port numbers are allowed to pass the firewall. The DI-707 provides some predefined settings in the gray pad on the bottom of the web page. Choose the Popular application and click Copy to copy the predefined setting. Note! At any time, only one PC can use each Special Application tunnel. 16

4.8 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 the members of Group 1, 2 and 3. The others are all members of the Default Group. Second, you have to assign the access rights of each group. Access rights can allow or block users to access specified TCP and UDP ports. For example: If you want IP addresses 50-99 to block access to port 21 and 119, you would insert 50-99 into the Group 1 members box. Change the Ports drop-down box to Block, and type 21,119 into the box to the right of the Block box. Group IP Address Access Right Comments Default Allow () No access right (allow nothing) Can browse (80), receive (110) Group 1 100-199 Allow (25,53,80,110) and send (25) email only Cannot read net news (119) and Group 2 50-99 Block (21,119) FTP (21) only Group 3 1-9,20 Block () Fully access (block nothing) 17

4.9 Misc Items

IP Address of DMZ Host: DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) Host is a host without the protection of firewall. It allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted 2-way communication. Note that, this feature should be used only when needed.
Remote Administrator Host: In general, only Intranet users can browse the built-in web pages to perform administrative tasks. This feature enables you to perform administrative tasks from a remote host. If this feature is enabled, only the specified IP address can perform remote administration. If the specified IP address is 0.0.0.0, any host can connect to the DI-707 to perform administrative tasks. When this feature is enabled, the web port will be shifted to 88.

Appendix A Console Mode

When you forget the system password or the IP address of the DI-707, you need to enter console mode to reset them. Before invoking the console program, be sure to find a null modem cable and use it to connect from the DI-707s COM port to your computers COM port. Then, execute a terminal program, such as the Hyper Terminal of MS Windows 95. The connection parameters should be set to 19200 8-N-1. And, reboot the DI-707. When the M1 indicator starts flashing regularly, you can press the Enter key of the keyboard several times, there should be some messages and console prompt ">" appeares in the terminal. In the console mode, you may reset the IP address and the system password of the DI-707. Please remember to execute the SR command to save the changes you have made. For example,

Apr 08 2010
A Router lets you share an Internet Connection with other PCs on your LAN:
For the average home user, a Router has become almost commonplace. The latest trend is to have a Router with: Wired ports : For the desktop PCs Wireless access : Internet access for your Laptop anywhere in the house. This could also be to desktop PCs where it would be challenging to run a network cable to the location!
The biggest reasons for using a router Network Device are : It lets you "share" an Internet connection.( increasingly wirelessly ) It provides NAT ( Network Address Translation ) hiding your IP Address. It functions as a hardware Firewall It also enables you to have your own LAN ( Local Area Network / Home Network ) and share devices like color-printers and a network disk drive. It also acts as a demarc point between your LAN and the WAN / Internet.
Automatic IP Addressing: Plug in a PC and youre assigned an IP Address
That makes the Router network plug and play in a sense. No need for an Administrator to manually assign you an address and then document it and so on.
Routers usually have a built-in DHCP Server for assigning IP Addresses locally.
This avoids the need to manually assign IP Addresses or to have to connect through the firewall to a DHCP Server at the ISP. Example: Our first Home Router, circa 2001, was the SMC Barricade. Its built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) server let the Barricade handle the tedious chore of IP addressing on our Local Area Network (LAN). That goes way back, and the setup just keeps getting easier.
A Router sits between the ADSL/Cable Modem and PCs Network Jack:
The WAN jack on the Router connects back to the output of the ( TELUS ) ADSL/Cable Modem. The remaining Ethernet output ports on the Router are used to connect to the individual PCs ( Network Jack ). Those PCs make up the Local Area Network or LAN.
C:\Users\Chuck\Documents\PC_Encyclo\R\Router_.doc
PC Encyclo by Chuck Bryan Page 2 of 15 www.pcencyclo.com Available on CD \ DVD in PDF Format
Example: We have a Router that takes the ADSL Broadband connection and provides 4 Ethernet output ports ( thus allowing two Ethernet outputs to each of our PCs ) as well as providing a wireless connection for the laptop.
A Router also acts as a Firewall for your Home Network:
Routers also function as a firewall by virtue of NAT ( Network Address Translation ). NAT is the technology that lets several PCs share an Internet Service. The end result is that your PCs IP Address is no longer fully exposed to the world.

Wired Broadband Router:

Shown below is an example of a wired network router.

Router Setup Page

Cable\DSL Routers have their own built-in Switch:
When people get a router for their Internet connection, they are also getting an integrated 4-port ( the usual standard ) switch as well. Meanwhile, the router gets all the attention, so usually the device is simply called a router. Example: D-Link DI-604 Cable /DSL Router , 4-port Switch: Example: The local Community Centre PC Room used a D-Link DI 707P 7-port router with a printer port. Most new routers at Staples are just 4-port. Prime Time Computers in Maple Ridge was able to special order an 8-port router for the local Senior Activity Centers Computer Room.

Router Examples:

Examples: A local Community Centre Office uses a four-port router ( DI-704 ) the PC Lab uses a 7-port router with its own printer port ( DI-707P )
PC Encyclo by Chuck Bryan Page 4 of 15 www.pcencyclo.com Available on CD \ DVD in PDF Format

Routers/Gateways:

Routers come in a wide variety of small boxes:

Wireless Router:

Some Wireless Routers offer a combination of wired ports as well as wireless network access. Example: Our Router at home does both which is great for the desktops (wired ) as well as for the roaming laptops (wireless )
Routers Handle Two Networks: the Internet and the Home Network:
Routers make the Internet possible. Routers handle traffic flow BETWEEN networks and LANs. A router is extremely useful in dealing with two separate computer networks. In the case of the average home user or SOHO, that means the Home Network and the Internet. It joins the two networks, passing information from one to the other and, in some cases, performing translations of various protocols between the two networks. It also protects the networks from one another, preventing the traffic on one from unnecessarily spilling over to the other.
PC Encyclo by Chuck Bryan Page 5 of 15 www.pcencyclo.com Available on CD \ DVD in PDF Format
Routers keep the "Home Network" and "Internet" apart using Subnet Masks:
One of the tools that a Router uses to decide where a packet is to go is a Configuration Table. In small routers, this can be a few lines. In large routers, this can be quite massive and complex. As the number of networks attached to one another grows, the configuration table for handling traffic among them grows, and the processing power of the router is increased. Regardless of how many networks are attached, though, the basic operation and function of the router remains the same. Since the Internet is one huge network made up of tens of thousands of smaller networks, its use of routers is an absolute necessity.
An affordable Router is as close as your local London Drugs:
You dont have to go to Silicon Valley to find one of these exotic-sounding network devices.try your local London Drugs store. Among other features, these devices let you share one IP address among several ports. Each of those ports will then have their own local address. In addition to sharing an IP address, these devices commonly provide some form of hardware firewall protection against hackers. Examples: Belkin 4-port Cable/DSL Gateway Router $99 DI-704 Router: Example: at RMSS Office, with 4 ports. D-Link DI-707P Ethernet Broadband Router ( small office network ) This version offers a separate printer port in addition to the standard 4-ports. That allows the printer to be directly connected to the Router as opposed to being connected first to someones PC. The D-Link DI-707P Broadband Router includes: 7 ports and a printer port. ( old-style parallel printer port )

It provides a complete solution for Internet surfing and office resources sharing. It is an ideal way to extend the reach and number of computers connected to your network. After completing the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide , you will have the ability to share information and resources, as well as share a printer on your network. SMC Barricade Router ( my Home network ): o IP address 192.168.2.1:88/ access via Internet Explorer o The default Gateway is 192.168.2.1 LinkSys $159 8-ports
Routers guide packets of information from one network to another. Keeping with the Post Office analogy, routers sort the mail by destination using information on the packet to help it travel from one segment to another. Information usually passes through at least a few of these segments, commonly referred to as hops before finally winding up at its destination. Similarly, a letter from North Vancouver to Monterey may go first to Vancouver and then to San Francisco before being finally routed down to Monterey. The most basic job of the router is to know where to send information addressed to your computer. Just as the mail handler on the other side of the country knows enough to keep a birthday card coming toward you without knowing where your house is, most of the routers that forward an e-mail message to you don't know your computer's MAC address, but they know enough to keep the message flowing. Routers are programmed to understand the most common network protocols. That means they
PC Encyclo by Chuck Bryan Page 6 of 15 www.pcencyclo.com Available on CD \ DVD in PDF Format
know the format of the addresses, how many bytes are in the basic package of data sent out over the network, and how to make sure all the packages reach their destination and get reassembled. For the routers that are part of the Internet's main "backbone," this means looking at, and moving on, millions of packets every second.
The information the router uses to determine a route for your packet is stored in a routing table:
It is a database in the router thats built upon a variety of information supplied and built upon by different algorithms. : Static Routing Table: the packets are routed in a pre-determined manner. Dynamic Routing Table: the packet pathways are flexible. A dynamic table is maintained through an exchange of communication and information between various routers. This exchange is made possible through routing protocols which let routers update the tables to adjust to heavy traffic areas or segments that may not be working.

If you have trouble making a connection, TRACERT.EXE can be used to show the routing your connection takes:
Routers and switches didnt really gain prominence until the 1990s when the Internet began to explode in popularity and more users came on board. That produced more online traffic A Router is a network device that makes decisions about where to send the network packets it receives. Unlike a bridge, that merely passes along any data that comes its way, a router examines the address information in the header and then determines the most efficient route that the packet must take to get to its destination. Put another way, routers are devices which enable communications between LANS. Part of the process involves selecting optimal paths for the packets, by taking into consideration several factors relating to the condition of the paths and the overall state of the network. A combination of hardware and software, they connect and manage the flow of info between different types of networks such as token-ring and Ethernet. Ciscos Gigabit Switch Router has a capacity of 80GB/s to 320GB/s. Routers filter out network traffic by specific protocol rather than by packet address. Routers also divide networks logically instead of physically. An IP router can divide a network into various subnets so that only traffic destined for particular IP addresses can pass between segments. Network speed often decreases due to this type of intelligent forwarding. Such filtering takes more time than that exercised in a switch or bridge, which only looks at the Ethernet address. However, in more complex networks, overall efficiency is improved by using routers.

Router ACLs

Access Control Lists: Cisco IOS:
Access Control Lists can be used to filter traffic. The actual ACL is a logical expression that specifies one or more match conditions against which the network traffic is compared. Each condition has two actions: Permit Deny
PC Encyclo by Chuck Bryan Page 7 of 15 www.pcencyclo.com Available on CD \ DVD in PDF Format There are several types of ACLs: Standard ACLs Extended ACLs Named ACLs

Router Cabling

Tag the Cables for Troubleshooting:
The CAT-5 cables connected to the router should always have some kind of labeling or cable identification for reconnections / troubleshooting. The rats nest of cabling under the average work area is bad enough to work with, without having no idea as to which cable goes to which PC or wall port. One way is to use colored cables, but that can be expensive and cumbersome as well. In any case, make some kind of wiring diagram for when theres a problem or you want to reconfigure your network.

Router configuration

D_Link
Router Configuration is done via Internet Explorer Access:
The new D-Link Routers are very easy to set up. Routers have a built-in software program to handle their configuration. Communicating with the Router is done over the same network cable that connects it to your PC. That translates into your Router appearing as a standard IP Address in your web browser Address Bar
PC Encyclo by Chuck Bryan Page 8 of 15 www.pcencyclo.com Available on CD \ DVD in PDF Format
Routers IP Address So you can communicate with your Router device
Setup Wizard and Cloning the MAC Address:
There is typically also a Setup Wizard to help you configure your Router to connect to your ISP. The main step here is to Clone the MAC Address of your PC Network Adapter.
Some ISPs ( such as TELUS ) register the MAC Address of your network card.
A MAC (Media Access Control) Address is a unique identification number (in hexadecimal digits) given to each networking device. Once registered, the ISPs server will check to make sure that the MAC address they have registered matches the one connecting to their servers. If it does not match, you cannot connect. Example: Clone the MAC Address was done when setting up Als new Router. After that, TELUS then could see the Router having the same MAC Address as the PC to which the ISP Service was originally setup. In other words, we didnt have to call TELUS to make any changes. It just worked!

Router Client Filtering

PC Encyclo by Chuck Bryan Page 9 of 15 www.pcencyclo.com Available on CD \ DVD in PDF Format
Router Configuration Table
The router will scan the packet destination address and match that IP address against rules in the configuration table.
The rules will say that packets in a particular group of addresses (a group that may be large or small, depending on precisely where the router is) should go in a specific direction. Next the router will check the performance of the primary connection in that direction against another set of rules. If the performance of the connection is good enough, the packet is sent, and the next packet handled. If the connection is not performing up to expected parameters, then an alternate is chosen and checked. Finally, a connection will be found with the best performance at a given moment, and the packet will be sent on its way. All of this happens in a tiny fraction of a second.

Router Content Filtering

A Router manager program may let you block sites or filter content:
Our Wireless Router includes the following heading: Content Filetring, which includes Block Sites: This of course fits in nicely with the Cold War Berlin Walls Check-Point Charlie analogy.

Router DHCP Server

Apr 18 2009
Routers often have a built-in DHCP Server for assigning IP Addresses locally.
This avoids the need to manually assign IP Addresses or to have to connect through the firewall to a DHCP Server at the ISP.
Routers built-in DHCP Server:
The Barricades built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) server lets the Barricade handle the tedious chore of IP addressing on your Local Area Network (LAN). Depending on the size of your network, this can save you much of the time and hassle of administrating your network. In other words, who really cares what IP address the Router gives you? If you have a server on your network that requires a static IP address, you may still use the DHCP server and manually assign a static IP address to your server. Its probably a good idea to just leave the DHCP Server Enabled. If youre a more structured personality type ( Freudian anal ) you may prefer to handle all the IP addressing on your network yourself, click disable. There is usually no need to change the IP address pool. If you change the pool range, make sure the first three octets match the Barricades IP address, i.e., 192.168.2.xxx thru 192.168.2.yyy

Router History

Jan 07 2009
1982 : Stanford University: 5000 computers and IMPs to communicate
Back in 1982, the Stanford University campus in Silicon Valley housed a total of about 5,000 different computers. The problem was that each building seemed to have its own network and it was difficult to communicate between the various networks. To get the computers to share information, data traffic would be passed up to the ARPAnet from a local network, broadcast across the net and then received at an ARPAnet IMP terminal in another building. The locally networked computers could only access the ARPAnet through the IMP machines which at the time cost more than $100,000 each! It was obvious to Leonard Bosack and Sandy Lerner that local data could be transmitted better by simply bypassing the ARPAnet altogether, but no such solution existed at the time. Even worse, the campus supported more than 20 incompatible e-mail systems at the same time. They became determined to find a way to network the local computers.

Bridges and Routers:

Ralph Gorin, manager of the LOTSS was one person who had spent years working to connect the discrete networks. To that end, the Stanford University networking specialists constructed bridges which operated at the data-link layer to extend networks. The bridges worked well with the ARPAnet and the IMPS, but not for hooking up local computers on the Stanford campus. For the networks to be truly interconnected, routers that could deal with the local-area protocols were necessary. It was realized that routers, unlike bridges, would allow the two LANs to remain distinct while allowing them to communicate.
Stanford University Not Interested in Routers: Cisco born in 1984
An engineer named Bill Yeager was assigned to design a Router. Len and Sandy then ran with the idea and started an unofficial project to network Stanford University using the new router. The couple then went to Stanfords Administration with a proposal to design and build the new routers under the schools aegis for sale. The idea that a University would stoop to commercialism didnt sit well. They then wouldnt even give them permission to pursue their work at Stanford. Talk about vision. With that, the couple decided to take their technology, quit their jobs, and leave Stanford to start their own business. The result? Cisco was born in 1984.
Router MAC Address Cloning the MAC Address:
The Barricades MAC Address will not be the same as your network cards address so you may need the Barricade to Clone the MAC address from your network card. Then the ISP will find a MAC Address that matches the one they have recorded. If you need to Clone the MAC Address from your network card, click Clone MAC Address. The MAC Address field will display the new address. Click ENTER when finished.

WAN Configuration

PC Encyclo by Chuck Bryan Page 12 of 15 www.pcencyclo.com Available on CD \ DVD in PDF Format
Specify the WAN connection type required by your Internet Service Provider, then click More Configuration to provide detailed configuration parameters for the selected connection type. Dynamic IP Address DHCP Host Name [ ] MAC Address [ ] Clone Mac Address [ ] The Host Name is optional, but may be required by some ISPs. The default MAC address is set to the WANs physical interface on the SMC Barricade. Use this address when registering for Internet service, and do not change it unless required by your ISP. You can use the Clone MAC Address button to copy the MAC address of the Ethernet Card installed by your ISP (in your PC) and replace the WAN MAC address with this MAC address.
Router Print Server D-Link DI-707P:

Mar 06 2008

The D-Link 707P Router includes a Print Server port and software on a CD to use it. After you finish the software installation procedure, your computer will be capable of network printing provided by the DI-707P. For convenience, we call the printer connected to the printer port of the DI-707P a print server. Now, you can configure the print server of the DI-707P: Find out the corresponding icon of your print server, for example, the HP LaserJet 6L. Right click on that icon, and then select Properties. Click on the DETAILS tab. Choose the PRTmate: (All-in-1) from the list attached at the Print To item. Be sure that the Printer Driver item is configured to the correct driver of your printer server. Then click Port Settings and type in the IP Address of the DI-707P router.

Router Security Log

SMC Barricade Router Security Log:
A Router can also provide a very valuable security log for intrusion detection, or to indicate any intrusion attempts to your network.
PC Encyclo by Chuck Bryan Page 13 of 15 www.pcencyclo.com Available on CD \ DVD in PDF Format

Router Software

With the right software, you can turn an old 386/486 class machine with 8MB RAM into a full-fledged router. ( Then again, why bother? )
BBIAgent Router software is free at bbiagent.com. It's a DOS sized distro of LINUX that will run on even a 386 class machine with 8MB of memory! It also includes a Net filter ( netfilter.org ) firewall. Sounds too good to be true, in a world of bloatware. Then again, there are probably better ways to spend your time.
( Wireless ) Router SSID The SSID:
The SSID is like a here I am signal from the Router advertising its service to those PCs in its transmitter range.
Turn Off after initial Vista & Win7 Connections:
Because Windows Vista and Windows 7 PCs remember networks they have connected to, once you have connected to your weilress router and entered the password key, it follows that you should turn-off SSID past that first connection time. No need to advertise to manybody visting next door lokking for a free internet service.

Router TCP/IP Configuration ( SMC Barricade ):
To access the Internet through the Barricade Broadband Router, you must configure the network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as the Barricade. The default network settings for the Barricade are: IP Address: 192.168.2.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Note: These settings can be changed to fit your network requirements, but you must first configure at least one computer to access the Barricades Web configuration interface. All PCs connected to the Barricade must be set to the same IP subnet as the Barricade. The default subnet address of the Barricade is 192.168.2.X (where X means 2254) subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
You can set the IP address for client PCs either by automatically obtaining an IP address from the Barricades DHCP service or by manual configuration.

Router Web Browser Interface
Router Settings are accessed via Internet Explorer ( Browser )
Use your web browser ( like Internet Explorer ) to access your Router settings:

Example: SMC Barricade:

After you have configured TCP/IP on a client computer, you can use a Web browser to configure the SMC Barricade Broadband Router. The Barricade can be configured by any Java-supported browser including Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above. Using the Web management interface, you can configure the Barricade and view statistics to monitor network activity. To access the Barricades management interface, enter the IP address of the Barricade in your Web browser http://192.168.2.1
