Introduction the H6300G
1.1 Introducing the H6300G
Welcome to the Prolink H6300G ADSL2+ Modem/Router. Your Prolink router is an
“all-in-one” unit, combining an ADSL modem, ADSL router and Ethernet network switch,
providing everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the
Internet over your ADSL broadband connection.
The H6300G complies with ADSL2+ standards for worldwide deployment and supports
downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. It is designed for
small office, home office and residential users, enabling even faster speed Internet
connections. User 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.
The product 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), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with ISP. The product
also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
It is the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet
connection. Multi-users can have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.
This product also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being
accessed by outside users. Not only provide the natural firewall function (Network Address
Translation, NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure user’s network. All
incoming data packets are monitored and filtered.
Besides, it can also be configured to
block internal users from accessing to the Internet.
The product provides two levels of security support.
First, it masks LAN users’ IP addresses
which are invisible to outside users on the Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker
Page 4 / 66

to target a machine on your network.
Secondly, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit
the services that outside users can access.
For example, to ensure that games and other
Internet applications will run properly, user can open some specific ports for outside users to
access internal services in network.
Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) services, client and server, allow multiple
users to get their IP addresses automatically on boot up from the product.
Simply set local
machines as a DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from DHCP server
and reboot.
Each time local machine is powered up; the router will recognize it and assign
an IP address to instantly connect it to the
LAN.
For advanced users, Virtual Service function allows the product to provide limited visibility to
local machines with specific services for outside users.
An ISP (Internet Service Providers)
provided IP address can be set to the product and then specific services can be rerouted to
specific computers on the local network.
For instance, a dedicated web server can be
connected to the Internet via the product and then incoming requests for HTML that are
received by the product can be rerouted to the dedicated local web server, even though the
server now has a different IP address.
In this example, the product is on the Internet and
vulnerable to attacks, but the server is protected.
Virtual Server can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers.
For instance, the
product can be set to allow separated FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game servers to share the
same Internet-visible IP address while still protecting the servers and LAN users from
hackers.

1.2 Features of the H6300G
ADSL Multi-Mode Standard
Supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. It also

suiting their needs and budgets. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413,
Issue 2; G.dmt(G.992.1); G.lite(G992.2)), G.hs (G994.1), G.dmt.bis (G.992.3), G.dmt.bisplus
(G.992.5)). The Annex A and B are supported the same H/W platforms.
Wireless Ethernet 802.11g
With built-in 802.11g access point for extending the communication media to WLAN while
providing the WEP, WPA and WPA2 for securing your wireless networks.
Fast Ethernet Switch
A 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching between MDI and
MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports. An Ethernet straight or cross-over cable can be
used directly for auto detection.
Multi-Protocol to Establish A Connection
Supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation
over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) and IPoA (RFC1577) to
establish a connection with the ISP. The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based
multiplexing.

Supports a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, end users can
enter the information easily which they get from their ISP, then surf the Internet immediately.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal
This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices
and PCs from many different vendors. It makes network simple and affordable for users.
UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable seamless proximity networking
in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled,
users can now connect to Net meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Allows multi-users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one
IP address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateway (ALG) are
supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping,
NetMeeting, IP phone and others.
