Block Services
The Modem can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, email, or other
network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single
computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers.
To restrict Internet access to a single computer, for example, enter the IP address
of the computer you wish to restrict access to in the IP fields. Next, enter “80” in
both the port fields. Select “Block”.
MAC Block Services
The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify
which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to
access the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access.
When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client
(computer) on your network to allow network access to each.
MAC Services Blocking can be set in three modes.
¾
Disable. In this mode, there is no restriction to any device connected to
the Modem whether it is through Wi-Fi or Ethernet ports.
¾
Deny. In this mode, the service table shows the client MAC address
being blocked by the Modem.
¾
Allow. In this mode, the service table shows the client MAC address
Page 47 / 58
46
allowed by the Modem.
To modify the service table (i.e. to add, change address or remove clients)
simply enter the correct value and click “Apply”.
Note
: You will not be able to delete the MAC address of the computer you are
using to access the Router’s administrative functions (the computer you are
using now).
WAN Setup
Clicking on the header of the “WAN Setup” tab will take you to the “WAN Setup”
header page. From this page, the Modem’s DMZ, Internet Ping and HTTP can
be enabled or disabled.
Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to be
placed outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the firewall is causing
problems with an application such as a game or video conferencing
application. Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ
is NOT protected from hacker attacks.
WAN Ping Blocking
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential victims on
the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a response from
the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of interest might be
there. The Modem can be set up so it will not respond to an ICMP ping from
the outside. This heightens the level of security of your Modem.

To turn OFF the ping response, select “Not Respond to Ping on Internet Port”
and click “Apply”. The Modem will not respond to an ICMP ping.
HTTP Ping Blocking
To turn OFF the HTTP response, select “Not Respond to HTTP on Internet
Port” and click “Apply”. The Modem will not respond to an HTTP ping.
LAN IP Setup
Clicking on the header of the “LAN IP Setup” tab will take you to its header page.
LAN TCP/IP Setup
All settings for the internal LAN setup of the Router can be viewed and
changed here.
1. IP Address:
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Modem. The
default IP address is “192.168.2.1”. To access the Web Manager User
Interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your browser. This
address can be changed if needed. To change the IP address, type in the
new IP address and click “Apply”. The IP address you choose should be a
non-routable IP.
Examples of a non-routable IP are:
192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255), and
10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255).
2. Subnet Mask:
There is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a
Page 49 / 58
48
unique, advanced feature of your Modem. It is possible to change the
subnet mask if necessary; however, do NOT make changes to the subnet
mask unless you have a specific reason to do so. The default setting is
“255.255.255.0”.
Use Router as DHCP Server
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by
assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically. The
DHCP server can be turned OFF if necessary; however, in order to do so
you must manually set a static IP address for each computer on your
network. To turn off the DHCP server, de-select “Use Router As DHCP
Server” and click “Apply”.
Static Route
A static IP address connection type is less common than other connection types.
If your ISP uses static IP addressing, you will need your IP address, subnet
mask, and ISP gateway address. This information is available from your ISP or
on the paperwork that your ISP left with you. Type in your information, and click
“Apply”.
1. IP Address:
Provided by your ISP. Enter your IP address here.
2. Subnet Mask:
Provided by your ISP. Enter your subnet mask here.
3. ISP Gateway Address:
Provided by your ISP. Enter the ISP gateway
address here.

Troubleshooting
Problem:
Installation CD does not automatically start.
Solution:
If the CD-ROM does not start the Install software automatically, it could be
that the computer is running other applications that are interfering with the
CD drive.
1. If the Install screen does not appear within 15—20 seconds, open up
your CD-ROM drive by double-clicking on the “My Computer” icon that
is located on your desktop.
2. Next, double-click on the CD-ROM drive that the Install Software CD
has been placed in to start the installation.
3. The Install should start within a few seconds. If, instead, a window
appears showing the files on the CD, double-click on the icon labeled
“EasyInstall.exe”.
Problem:
The Install software completed installation, but my web browser
doesn’t work.
I am unable to connect to the Internet. The Modem’s “Signal” light is
on and the “Connect” light is off.
Solution:
If you cannot connect to the Internet, the “Signal” light is on, and the
“Connect” light is off, the problem may be your connection type may not
match the ISP’s connection.
If you have a “static IP address” connection, your ISP must assign
you the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. Please
refer to the section entitled “Alternate Setup Method” for details on
changing this setting.
