LKR-604 About This Manual Congratulations on your purchase of the LKR-604 4-port Cable/DSL Broadband Router. This device integrates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities. This router is a complete solution for sharing the Broadband Internet connection and other office resources. Purpose This manual discusses how to install the LKR-604 4-port Broadband Router and gives an overview of this User’s Manual. Introduction Describes the LKR-604 Broadband Router and its features.
LKR-604 Introduction The LKR-604 is a 4-port Ethernet Broadband Router. It enables users quickly and easily sharing a single high-speed Internet connection as well as sharing information and resources such as files and printers with a built-in 4-port 10/100 Switch. The LKR-604 also incorporates many advanced features, traditionally found in more expensive routers.
LKR-604 Applications • Local Network Access The LKR-604 Broadband Router provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps wired-Ethernet devices that making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes. • Internet Access The LKR-604 supports Broadband Internet access through a CABLE or DSL connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE to establish communications with end users, the LKR-604 includes a built-in client for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these services on your computer.
LKR-604 • DMZ Host Support Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This function is used when NAT or Firewall security prevent the special application feature from functioning correctly. • Virtual Private Network (VPN) The LKR-604 supports most commonly used VPN protocols — PPTP and IPSec. These protocols allow remote users to establish a secure VPN connection over the Internet to their corporate network.
LKR-604 Features and Benefits High-speed data transfer rate Supports NAT (sharing one IP address with all LAN users) Supports PPPoE and PPTP protocol for Dial-Up ADSL Supports DHCP Server / Client Supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) Supports virtual server mapping Supports VPN PPTP and IPSec pass-through Supports packet filtering Simple Firewall protection Upgradeable firmware for future functions Easy setup via Web Browser.

LKR-604 LAN To set the LAN’s IP Address. LAN Settings The default value of the LKR-604 Broadband Router is 192.168.0.1 for the IP address and 255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask. You may change the value according to your needs. To enable the DHCP server to allocate dynamic IP addresses to the clients PCs, click “Enable”. The client can get an IP Address that is between the IP Pool Starting Address and the IP Pool Ending Address. You may also change the IP Pool range value.
LKR-604 DHCP Client List The DHCP client list allows you to see which clients are connected to the LKR-604 Broadband Router via IP address, host name, and MAC address.
LKR-604 NAT Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users at the local site to access the Internet through a single public IP address. NAT can also prevent hacker attacks by mapping local addresses to public addresses for key services such as the Web or FTP. Special Application Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, and Internet telephony. These applications cannot work when Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled.
LKR-604 of dividing a message into packets (data grams) and reassembling it at the other end. Specifically, UDP doesn't provide sequencing of the packets that the data arrives in. This means that the application program that uses UDP must be able to make sure that the entire message has arrived and is in the right order.
LKR-604 Virtual Server The virtual server option allows you to define port number on your LKR-604 Broadband Router for redirection to an internal LAN IP address. This feature is useful for hosting online services such as FTP or Web servers.
LKR-604 Firewall The LKR-604 Broadband Router provides extensive Firewall protection by restricting connection parameters to limit the risk of hacker attacks and by defending against a wide array of common hacker attacks. The LKR-604 Broadband Router provides packet filtering rules by restricting service ports, IP address or MAC address.
LKR-604 Client Filtering To block certain client PCs from accessing the Internet: You can filter Internet access for local clients based on IP addresses, application types, (i.e., HTTP port), and time of day. For example, this screen shows that clients in the address range 192.168.0.
LKR-604 MAC Address Control MAC Address Control allows you to block certain client PCs from accessing the Internet based on MAC addresses. DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) If a local client PC cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the NAT firewall, open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a PC as a virtual DMZ Host.
LKR-604 URL Filter URL Filter is used to deny LAN computers from accessing specific web sites by its URL. A URL is a specially formatted text string that defines a location on the Internet. If any part of the URL contains the blocked word, the site will not be accessible. If any part of the URL contains the blocked word, the web page will also not display.
LKR-604 Routing Static Routing The process by manually specify a specific route packets should take on the way to a destination address. You need to configure the Static Routing only for such as multiple Routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.
