Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 An overview of the ISDN Router The device is a small desktop router that sits between your local Ethernet network and a remote network (For example, the Internet or a remote office). It contains an ISDN S/T interface, a 10/100 Base-T LAN port, and an auxiliary port for a directly connected management console. Data comes into ISDN Router from the LAN and then is “routed” to the remote network, and vice versa.
1.3 ISDN Router Features The ISDN Router provides the following features The router equipped with a single ISDN Basic Rate Interface (2B+D) that supports S/T interface specification, would support European ISDN requirements. Supports remote access functions among branch offices and allows remote users to dial-in to your network. Supports IP sharing function, allowing multiple users share one Internet account. Supports industry standard Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Multilink PPP.
Chapter 2 Using the ISDN Router 2.1 Cautions for using the ISDN Router Do not place the ISDN Router under high humidity and high temperature. Do not use the same power source for ISDN Router with other equipment. Do not open or repair the case yourself. If the ISDN Router is too hot, turn off the power immediately and have a qualified serviceman repair it. Place the ISDN Router on the stable surface. Only use the power adapter that comes with the package. 2.
2.3 The rear ports Power (jack) Connect the supplied power adapter to this jack Console (port) Connect the supplied Null type RS-232 cable to this port when connecting to a PC’s RS-232 port (9-pin serial port). ISDN So (RJ-45 connector) Connect an RJ-45 cable to this port when connecting to the ISDN. LAN (RJ-45 connector) Connect an UTP Ethernet cable to this port when connecting to a LAN such as an office or home network. 2.
˙There is a DIP switch located on the rear panel for setting the terminating resistor. You only need to adjust this switch if there are two or more external ISDN equipments attached to the local telephone line.

To install public servers on your network (For Example, Web or ftp servers), you need to apply for an IP address for each server plus one for the LAN port. All these public IP addresses have to belong to the same IP network Set the following parameters: Public IP Address: the public IP address for the LAN interface on ISDN Router. Public IP Netmask: the network mask for the public network address on LAN. Private IP Address: the private IP address for the LAN interface on ISDN Router.
An entry for a specific host or network may be added manually. An “S” in the Flags field indicates this “static route”. Other flag field entries are “H” for host, and “G” for gateway.

Chapter 7 Troubleshooting What is NAT? Answer. NAT is Network Address Translation. It is proposed and described in RFC-1631 and is originally for solving the IP address depletion problem. Basically, "each NAT box has a table consisting of pairs of locally private IP addresses and globally unique public IP addresses," by which the box can "translate" the private IP addresses to public IP address and vice versa. The device supports the feature of NAT.
Do I be able to pick up more than one configuration-selection at once while I set up Customize User Interface function? Answer. Yes, you do, but we would like to recommend that users should configure the router step by manual. Why does the configuration lost from previous usage? Answer. Please keep in mind to save all configurations while you complete setting process. Please choice Configuration Data Options\Save Button. Why do I spend longer time to update firmware in GUI screen? Answer.
For example, set IP LAN to 202.39.52.190 255.255.255.0 What can I do if PCs or workstations in the LAN can’t be connected to Internet after setting public IP address? Solution. First, Please make sure that the public IP address you set is a legal public IP address, and then check that the public IP address has not occupied by other users. Second, make sure the IP address of each server is static and the IP Address/ Netmask/ Gateway information is completed.
2. Make sure baud rate is 19200,n, 8,1,none 3. Turn off the Router, and connect the Console Port Cable. 4. Turn on the Router. 5. Press Ctrl+C while the message “Loading Firmware” shows up. 6. Then it will show “Clearing System Configuration” once the system is ready. 7. Therefore, it will recover the default password while the router reboot automatically. Why does the ISDN Router connect with ISP sometimes automatically? Answer.
