Initial Configuration The HN294 still offers the possibility for advanced users to set up special network scenarios themselves or to modify the existing ones. Refer to the “Advanced Configuration” chapter for further information. TIP: For advanced network scenarios, select the ADSL-mode that is closest to your requirements and then modify it to meet your needs. This is easier than creating a complete new profile. 3.
Initial Configuration 4. The welcome page of the Configuration tool is displayed: 5. Click on the Configuration Wizard button and follow the instructions given on-screen. 6. When you have completed the wizard and reached the last page (step 4) it is important that you click the Save Configuration button to save all configuration settings to non-volatile memory. The HN294d will reboot and is then ready for use. 3.
ADSL-mode – RFC1483 Bridge 4 ADSL-mode – RFC1483 Bridge 4.1 Description RFC1483 (2684) Bridged Mode (single PVC) In this mode the HN294d will act only as a “bridge”, meaning that the routing functionality (firewall, NAT, UPnP, etc) will be disabled. This mode is suitable when you only want to connect a single computer to the Internet and want to perform all special functionality in the computer instead of the HN294d. This mode emulates the functionality of simple ADSL modems.
ADSL-mode – RFC1483 Bridge 4.3 IP Addresses Assigned by DHCP The PCs on the LAN/WLAN use the DHCP protocol. The IP addresses are dynamically assigned to the PCs from the DHCP server at the ISP. Verify that your TCP/IP settings are set to “Obtain an IP address automatically”. Refer to section xxx “Use DHCP” for instructions. 4.4 Static IP Addresses The PCs on the LAN/WLAN are manually configured with static IP addresses provided by your ISP/service provider.
ADSL-mode – RFC1483 Router 5 ADSL-mode – RFC1483 Router 5.1 Description RFC1483 (2684) Routed Mode (single PVC) The RFC1483 Router mode allows a simple routed connection to the Internet. This ADSL-mode can also be used together with NAT to let the end-user connect an almost unlimited number of PCs on the LAN/WLAN with only one IP address from the ISP. NOTE! The HN294d supports RFC1483 Routed mode with static IP addresses or with DHCP IP addresses assignment to the WAN interface.
ADSL-mode – RFC1483 Router “Obtain an IP address automatically”. Refer to section xxx “Use DHCP” for instructions. 5.3 Static IP Addresses The PCs on the LAN/WLAN are manually configured with static IP addresses provided by your ISP/service provider. Refer to section xxx “Use Static IP Addresses” for instructions.
ADSL-mode – RFC1483 MER Router 6 ADSL-mode – RFC1483 MER Router 6.1 Description RFC1483 (2684) Bridged Mode (single PVC) with router functionality enabled. A new feature of the HN294d is bridge-router mode. In this mode the user can connect an almost unlimited number of PCs to the LAN/WLAN but still only require one IP address from the ISP (which is the standard offering of most ISPs today).
ADSL-mode – RFC1483 MER Router PCs on the LAN/WLAN will be assigned private IP addresses from the builtin DHCP server and the NAT will route the traffic to/from the WAN. The HN294d offers several automatic features (such as ALG, Smart tracking, UPnP, Firewall etc) to make Internet surfing, downloading files, and playing network games a pleasant and trouble-free experience. 6.2 IP Addresses Assigned by DHCP The PCs on the LAN/WLAN normally use the DHCP protocol.
ADSL-mode – PPPoE Router 7 ADSL-mode – PPPoE Router 7.1 Description This ADSL-mode, much like the “RFC1483 MER Router” mode, allows the user to connect an almost unlimited number of PCs on the LAN/WLAN with only one IP address from the ISP. All traffic from the LAN/WLAN uses the same PVC. NOTE! This ADSL-mode is applicable if your ISP uses PPPoE as connection type. The HN294d has a built-in PPPoE client that will be assigned a public IP address from the BRAS at the ISP.
ADSL-mode – PPPoE Router 7.2 PPPoE Termination and PPPoE Passthrough The “PPPoE Router” mode also allows user to connect directly from the PC to the BRAS at the ISP. This means that the user can choose if he/she wants to use the built-in PPPoE client, a PPPoE client installed on the PC, or a combination of the two. This requires no extra configuration of the HN294d. The HN294d will detect if the incoming traffic is PPPoE or if it is traffic that should be routed to the built-in PPPoE client, i.e.
ADSL-mode – PPPoA Router 8 ADSL-mode – PPPoA Router 8.1 Description This ADSL-mode, much like the “RFC1483 MER Router” mode, allows the user to connect an almost unlimited number of PCs on the LAN/WLAN with only one IP address from the ISP. All traffic from the LAN/WLAN uses the same PVC. NOTE! This ADSL-mode is applicable if your ISP uses PPPoA as connection type. The HN294d has a built-in PPPoA client that will be assigned a public IP address from the BRAS at the ISP.
ADSL-mode – PPPoA Router 8.2 IP Addresses Assigned by DHCP The PCs on the LAN/WLAN normally use the DHCP protocol. The IP addresses are dynamically assigned to the PCs from the DHCP server in the HN294d. If DHCP Relay is enabled, the IP addresses can be assigned from a DHCP server at the ISP. Verify that your TCP/IP settings are set to “Obtain an IP address automatically”. Refer to section xxx “Use DHCP” for instructions.

Important Information Glossary -AAccess Point An Access Point (AP) is a hardware device or a computer's software that acts as a communication hub for users of a wireless device to connect to a wireless LAN (WLAN). The HN294dp has an integrated WLAN access point which complies to the 802.11b standard. ADSL Short for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. A variation of the DSL technologies that is most familiar to home and small business users.
Important Information -BBandwidth A measure of capacity of communications media. Greater bandwidth allows communication of more information in a given period of time. Bandwidth is generally described either in terms of analog signals in units of Hertz (Hz), which describes the maximum number of cycles per second, or in terms of digital signals in units of bits per second.
Important Information DNS Short for Domain Name System (or Service), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. The DNS system is, in fact, its own network.
Important Information -EEncapsulation A technology that enables one network to send its data via another network's connections. Encapsulation works by encapsulating a network protocol within packets carried by the second network. Encapsulation is also called tunneling. Ethernet A local-area network (LAN) architecture that uses a bus topology and supports data transfer rates of 10 Mbps. It is one of the most widely implemented LAN standards.
Important Information G.lite A kind of asymmetric DSL technology, based on DMT modulation, that offers up to 1.5 megabits per second downstream bandwidth, 384 Kilobits per second upstream, does not usually require a splitter and is easier to install than other types of DSL. "G.lite" is a nickname for the standard officially known as G.992.2. -HHost A computer that is connected to a TCP/IP network, including the Internet. Each host has a unique IP address.
Important Information router, using Host Membership Reports, that it wants to receive messages addressed to a specific multicast group. Intranet A network based on TCP/IP protocols (an internet) belonging to an organization, usually a corporation, accessible only by the organization's members, employees, or others with authorization. An intranet's Web sites look and act just like any other Web sites, but the firewall surrounding an intranet fends off unauthorized access.
Important Information -NNAT Short for Network Address Translation, which is an Internet standard that translates a private IP address within one network to a public IP address, either a static or dynamic. NAT provides a type of firewall by hiding internal IP addresses and it also enables a company to use more internal IP addresses. NIC Short for Network Interface Card, which is an expansion board you insert into a computer so the computer can be connected to a network.
Important Information broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless device or cable modem. All the users over the Ethernet share a common connection, so the Ethernet principles supporting multiple users in a LAN combine with the principles of PPP, which apply to serial connections. PVC Short for Permanent Virtual Circuit, which is a logical point-to-point circuit between customer sites. PVCs are low-delay circuits because routing decisions do not need to be made along the way.
Important Information device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because an SSID can be sniffed in plain text from a packet it does not supply any security to the network. An SSID is also referred to as a Network Name because essentially it is a name that identifies a wireless network Stateful Inspection Stateful inspection is a firewall architecture that works at the network layer.
Important Information -UUBR Sort for Unspecified Bit Rate. A type of ATM service that does not guarantee any throughput levels. This is used for applications, such as file transfers, that can tolerate delays. UDP Short for User Datagram Protocol, which is a connectionless transport service that dispenses with the reliability services provided by TCP.
Important Information many virtual servers reside on the same computer, or if one virtual server starts hogging resources, Web pages will be delivered more slowly. VPI and VCI A VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) is an 8-bit field while VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) is a 16-bit field in the ATM cell header. A VPI identifies a link formed by a virtual path and a VCI identifies a channel within a virtual path. In this way, the cells belonging to the same connection can be distinguished.
