not provide the Service Name, please leave it blank.
l Disconnect Timeout: The Disconnect Timeout allows users to set the specific
period of time to disconnect from the ISP. The default is 0, which means never
disconnect from the ISP.
l Automatic Reconnect: When it is checked, it will maintain the PPP connection all
the time. If the ISP shut down the PPP connection, it will automatically reconnect
PPP session.

11
l Authentication: When AUTO option is chosen, the PAP mode will run first then
CHAP.

Q1: If the PPP is disconnected after the Disconnect Timeout and how can I reconnect it?
A: You have to go to the PPP Status under Admin Privileged column, choose the
correct PVC and Connect option, and then click Execute to restart a new PPP secession.
l Host name: Required by some ISPs. If the ISP does not provide the Host name,
please leave it blank.

4.1.6 IGMP
IGMP relay/proxy specification and environment:
l Support IGMP proxy/relay function for ADSL modem, based on the following
requirement and case:
l On CO side, there must be at least one IGMP querier (router) present. IGMP querier
will send IGMP query packet. The ADSL modem is responsible to relay these IGMP
query to Ethernet.
l End-user multicast application device send IGMP report while receiving IGMP
query or being activated by user, the ADSL modem should be responsible to proxy
(that is, change source IP to ADSL modem’s WAN IP) the IGMP report to ADSL
WAN side, include all PVCs. The same case is for IGMP leave packet.
l Not necessary to relay multicast routing between two ADSL PVCs or two interfaces
in LAN side.
l Special purpose multicast packet (such as RIP 2 packet) should run without
interference.
Table 4-2. Packet Process

Note: Before the IGMP mode is enabled; please go to the Miscellaneous

Configuration page to enable the IGMP proxy. Otherwise, the IGMP selection
will not be valid.

12
4.2 LAN Configuration
The LAN configuration page allows user to set the configuration for the LAN port.

4.2.1 DHCP Server

l System Allocated: The DHCP address pool is based on LAN port IP address plus 12
IP addresses. For example, the LAN IP address is 10.0.0.2; the DHCP address pool is
at the range of 10.0.0.3 to 10.0.0.14.
l User Defined: The DHCP address pool is at the range of User Defined Start
Address and User Defined End Address. The maximum pool size can be 253 IP
addresses: 255 total IP addresses – 1 broadcast address – 1 LAN port IP address.
l Lease time: The Lease time is the amount of time of a network user will be allowed
to connect with DHCP server. If all fields are 0, the allocated IP addresses will be
effective forever.
l User mode: Under the Single User mode, the DHCP server only allocates one IP
address to local PC. Under the Multiple User mode, the DHCP server allocates the
IP addresses specified bye the DHCP address pool.

13
4.3 NAT Session Name Configuration
The NAT Session Name Configuration page allows users to set the configuration for
the Network Address Translation.

4.3.1 NAT Configuration

The NAT option only maps single WAN IP address to the local PC IP address. It is peer-to-
peer mapping. (1x1) For each PVC, only one local PC IP address can be associated
with each WAN PVC. Click the link Session Name Configuration to add the session
name for each PVC.

Click the link Go back to NAT Configuration to the NAT configuration page. Select
the NAT option. Input the session name and the PC IP address, and choose the Add
action. Click the Submit button and go to the Save Settings to save this configuration.

14
Q: Since only one PVC is mapped to one local PC IP address, why can I input more than
one IP address for one NAT session?
A: Even you can, only the first IP address of each session takes effect.

15
4.3.2 NAPT Configuration
The NAPT option maps the IP address and UDP/TCP port ID of the WAN PVC to the IP
address and UDP/TCP port ID of the local PCs. (1xN). It is the multiple -mapping
mechanism. More than one local PC can be associated with one WAN PVC.

16
4.4 Virtual Server Configuration
The Virtual Server Configuration page allows users to set the configuration of Virtual
Server. The ECA-100 firmware includes the Free BSD version firewall. All UDP/TCP
ports are protected from intrusion. If any specific local PCs need to be mapped to the
UDP/TCP port on WAN side, please input the mappings here.

4.5 Bridge Filtering

The Bridge Filtering configuration page allows users to set the configuration of IP
filtering.
l Source MAC: When the bridge filtering is enabled, enter the Source MAC address,
select Block and click Add. Then all incoming WAN and LAN Ethernet packets
matched with this source MAC address will be filtered out. If the Forward is
selected, then the packets will be forwarded to the destination PC.
l Destination MAC: When the bridge filtering is enabled, enter the Destination
MAC address, select Block and click Add. Then all incoming WAN and LAN
Ethernet packets matched with this destination MAC address will be filtered out. If
the Forward is selected, then the packets will be forwarded to the destination PC.
l Type: Enter the hexadecimal number for the Ethernet type field in Ethernet_II
packets. For example, 0800 is for IP protocol.

17
4.6 DNS Configuration
The DNS Configuration page allows users to set the configuration of DNS proxy.
The ECA-100 firmware supports the DNS proxy function. For the DHCP requests from
local PCs, the DHCP server will set the LAN port IP as the default DNS server. Thus, all
DNS query messages will come into LAN port first. The DNS proxy on the ADSL
modem recorded the available DNS servers, and forward DNS query messages to one of
DNS server.
There are four DNS proxy modes available:
1. Disable DNS Proxy: The LAN port does not process the DNS query message. For
the DHCP requests from local PCs, the DHCP server will set the user-configured
preferred DNS sever or alternate DNS server whichever is available as the DNS
server. Then all DNS query messages will be directly sent to the DNS servers.
2. Use Auto Discovered DNS Servers Only: The DNS proxy will store the DNS
server IP addresses obtained from DHCP client or PPP into the table. And all DNS
query messages will be sent to one of the dynamically obtained DNS servers.
3. Use User Configured DNS Servers Only: The DNS proxy will use the user-configured
preferred DNS server and alternate DNS server. And all DNS query
message will be sent to one of DNS servers.
4. Auto Discovery + User Configured: The DNS proxy’s table has all the IP
addresses of dynamically obtained and user configured DNS servers.

18
Note: Before the DNS proxy mode is enabled; please go to the Miscellaneous
Configuration page to enable the DNS proxy. Otherwise, the DNS Proxy
selection will not be valid.

4.7 Save Settings

protocols.
Trellis: Trellis Code. By default, it is always enabled.
l Handshake Protocol: This is for the ADSL handshake protocol.
l Wiring Selection: The wiring selection for the RJ-11.

5.8 RIP Configuration

The RIP Configuration page allows users to set the configuration for RIP protocol.
RIP: Start or Stop a RIP session. The resulting RIP session will monitor all network
interfaces that are currently available for messages from other RIP routers.
Supplier: If the supplier parameter is true, it will also respond to specific requests from
other routers and transmit route updates over every known interface at the interval
specified by Interval.
Gateway: Specifying a gateway setting of true establishes this router as a gateway to the
wider Internet, capable of routing packets anywhere within the local networks.
Multicast: The value True indicates that the RIP messages are sent to the pre-defined
multicast address of 224.0.0.9 (which requires a version setting of 2). Otherwise, it will
use broadcast address.
Interval: The interval of the RIP information will be advertised.

22
Note: Conexant firmware used the RIP protocol code provided by WindRiver. The
description of this function can be look up by the index ripLibInit in the Tornado
Help menu.

5.9 Password Configuration

The Password Configuration page allows users to set the passwords for user and
administrator.

5.10 Miscellaneous Configuration

The Miscellaneous Configuration allows users to set all the miscellaneous
configurations.
l WAN side HTTP server: When it is enabled, the Web pages can be accessed from
the WAN side. When it is disabled, it can access the Web pages from the LAN side.
l FTP server: When it is enabled, the FTP connection can be established from both
the LAN and WAN sides.
l TFTP server: When it is enabled, it can upgrade the image code with the TFTP
client application run at either the LAN or WAN sides.
An example for the TFTP client updating the vxworks.z product image code is:

23
l HTTP server port: The HTTP server port can be changed to other secure port
number. For example, when it is changed to 1001, the HTTP server address for the
LAN side is http://10.0.0.2:1001.
l DMZ: A DMZ (De -Militarized Zone) is added between a protected network and an
external network, in order to provide an additional layer of security. When there is a
suspected packet coming from WAN, the firewall will forward this packet to the
DMZ host.
l DMZ Host IP: The IP address of the DMZ host at LAN side.
l DNS Proxy: If it is enabled, then DNS proxy configuration will take effect (see
Section, 4.6, DNS Configuration).
l DHCP Relay: If it is enabled, the DHCP requests from local PCs will forward to the
DHCP server runs on WAN side. To have this function working properly, please
disable the NAT to run on router mode only, disable the DHCP server on the LAN
port, and make sure the routing table has the correct routing entry.
l DHCP Target IP: The DHCP server runs on WAN side.

l IGMP Proxy: Here is the global setting for IGMP Proxy. If it is enabled, then the
enabled IGMP Proxy on WAN PVCs will be working. Otherwise, no WAN PVC can
have IGMP Proxy working on it.
l PPP connect on WAN access: If it is enabled, the PPP session will be automatically
established when there is a packet wants to go out the WAN.
Q: What is the difference between PPP connect on WAN access and the Automatic
Reconnect?
A: Some ISPs terminated the PPP session due to the inactivity.
For the PPP connect on WAN access, the PPP will be automatically reconnected when
an URL is entered in the browser (packet interested in going out the WAN). For the
Automatic Reconnect, it will reconnect the PPP session whenever it is terminated by
ISP.
