Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
Thank you for purchasing NWAR33P Router. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that combines
an ADSL modem, ADSL2/2+ router and Ethernet network switch to provide everything you need
to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over an ADSL broadband
connection.
NWAR33P router complies with ADSL2+ standards for deployment worldwide and supports
downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. Designed for small
office, home office and residential users, the router enables even faster Internet connections.
You can enjoy ADSL services and broadband multimedia applications such as interactive
gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much easier and faster than ever before.
NWAR33P supports PPPoA (RFC 2364
– PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) over ATM Adaptation
Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC
2516) to establish a connection with your ISP. Your new router also supports VC-based and
LLC-based multiplexing.
The perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet
connection, NWAR33P allows multiple users to have high-speed Internet access
simultaneously.
Your new router also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from access by
outside users. Not only does it provide a natural firewall function with Network Address
Translation (NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure your network. All incoming
data packets are monitored and filtered. You can also configure your new router to block internal
users from accessing the internet.
NWAR33P provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN IP addresses making
them invisible to outside users on the Internet, so it is much more difficult for a hacker to target a
machine on your network. Second, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the services
that outside users can access. To ensure that games and other Internet applications run
properly, you can open specific ports for outside users to access internal services on your
network.
The Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) client and server services allow multiple
users to get IP addresses automatically when the router boots up. Simply set local machines as
a DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from the DHCP server and reboot.
Each time a local machine is powered up; the router recognizes it and assigns an IP address to
instantly connect it to the LAN.
For advanced users, Virtual Service (port mapping) functions allow the product to provide limited
