Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new WL-108/109 Broadband
Router. The WL-108/109 is a multi-function device providing the following
services:
ADSL Modem.
Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users.
Wireless Access Point for 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations.
4-Port Switching Hub for 10BaseT or 100BaseT connections.
WL-108/109 Features
The WL-108/109 incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed
to provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access
the Internet through the WL-108/WL-109 Wireless ADSL Router, using
only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are
hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network
Address Translation).
Built-in ADSL Modem. The WL-108/WL-109 Wireless ADSL Router
has a built-in ADSL modem, supporting all common ADSL connections.
IPoA, PPPoE, PPPoA, Direct Connection Support. The WL-
108/WL-109 Wireless ADSL Router supports all common connection
methods.
Auto-detection of Internet Connection Method. The WL-108/WL-
109 Wireless ADSL Router can test your ADSL and Internet connection
to determine the connection method used by your ISP.
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port)
connection, the WL-108/WL-109 Wireless ADSL Router supports both
Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed
IP Address.
Advanced Internet Functions
Application Level Gateways (ALGs). Applications which use non-
standard connections or port numbers are normally blocked by the
Firewall. The ability to define and allow such applications is provided, to
enable such applications to be used normally.
Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet
servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites
by LAN users.
Logs. Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send
log data to a Syslog Server. Log data can also be E-mailed to you.
Firewall. As well as the built-in firewall to protect your LAN, you can
define Firewall Rules to determine which incoming and outgoing traffic
should be permitted.
Dynamic DNS Support. DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers
feature, allows users to connect to Servers on your LAN using a Domain
Name, even if you have a dynamic IP address which changes every
time you connect.

VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private
Networking) software using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently
supported - no configuration is required.
Wireless Features
Standards Compliant. The WL-108/109 complies with the
IEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.
Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations. The
802.11g standard provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b
standard, so both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used
simultaneously.
Speeds to 54Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of
54Mbps are supported.
WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included.
Key sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported.
Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature
can check the the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations
to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.
Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can
be changed quickly and easily.
LAN Features
4-Port Switching Hub. The WL-108/109 incorporates a 4-port
10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your
LAN.
DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides
a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The WL-
108/109 can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and
WLAN.
Multi Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more segments
are supported, via the WL-108/109's RIP (Routing Information
Protocol) support and built-in static routing table.
Configuration & Management
Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN for
configuration.
Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the
configuration data from the WL-108/109 to your PC, and restore
(upload) a previously-saved configuration file to the WL-108/109.
Remote Management. The WL-108/109 can be managed from any
PC on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also
(optionally) be configured via the Internet.
Network Diagnostics. You can use the WL-108/WL-109 Wireless
ADSL Router to perform a Ping or DNS lookup.
Security Features
Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection
is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the
configuration data and settings.
Wireless LAN Security. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is supported,
as well as Wireless access control to prevent unknown wireless stations
from accessing your LAN.
NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address
Translation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a
WL-108 Wireless Network Modem/router 11M
7
single IP address, the location and even the existence of each PC is
hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single
device - the WL-108/109.
Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are
monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting
your network from malicious attacks from external sources.
Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can
flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection
requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that
Internet access becomes unavailable. The WL-108/109 incorporates
protection against DoS attacks.

Setting up the Modem/router
Physical installation
1. Ensure the Wireless ADSL Router is powered OFF.
Installation - WL-108
2. Connect the LAN cables: For the WL-108, use standard LAN cables to
connect the PCs to the LAN ports (hub) on the broadband
modem/router. If necessary connect the "Uplink" port to a standard
port on another hub. You must use a standard LAN cable for this.
Note: If you use the "Uplink" port, then port 4 CANNOT be used.
3. Connect the supplied ADSL cable from the WAN port on the Wireless
ADSL Router (the RJ11 connector) to the ADSL terminator provided by
your phone company.
4. Your wireless PC’s need some configuration which is explained later on
in this manual.
5. Connect the power supply adapter to the broadband modem/router.
Use only the adapter supplied with the router.
6. Check the LEDs
The Power LED should be ON.
The Status LED should flash, then turn Off. If it stays on, there is a
hardware error.
For each LAN (PC) connection, the LAN Link/Act LED should be ON
(provided the PC is also ON.)
The WAN LED should be ON.
