INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the XRouter Pro MIH-130 Internet
Sharing Hub. The XRouter Pro functions as an easy-to-use communi-
cation device that allows you to connect a local area network (LAN) to
the Internet affordably. With the XRouter Pro you can get as many as
252 Macintosh or PC users online simultaneously through just one
cable line or DSL, and one ISP account. The XRouter Pro installs
quickly and easily, and best of all, it’s a breeze to use.
Sharing Internet Access
The XRouter Pro provides high-speed Internet access to multiple
users by splitting the bandwidth from a cable line or from DSL (Digital
Subscriber Line) into tiny portions and then routing these bandwidth
“slices” to almost any number of Internet users. The fewer the number
of users online at any one time, the faster the service each individual
receives. Internet users on different nodes are not limited to looking at
the same Web pages. Each node is functionally independent from the
other nodes connected to the XRouter Pro.
Modems Supported
The XRouter Pro supports cable modems and DSL modems. The
XRouter Pro has one WAN (Wide Area Network) port for connecting
the unit to either a cable modem or a DSL modem. Either technology
should provide more than enough bandwidth to accommodate the
needs of even large groups of Internet users.
Built-in DHCP Server
The XRouter Pro’s built-in DHCP Server dramatically reduces the
configuration and maintenance effort by allowing you to automatically
configure the TCP/IP setting of computers over a local area network.
Introduction

4-Port Switched Ethernet Hub Inside
In addition to providing Internet sharing capability, the XRouter Pro
also functions as an Ethernet hub, offering four 10/100BASE-T
switched RJ-45 ports that allow you to connect a series of computers
to form a small LAN.
Easy Configuration
The XRouter Pro can be configured through a Web browser, and
features Web-based management for a simple, intuitive set up.
Virtual Server
Internet users can set up an in-house Web server, such as WWW
or FTP, through the XRouter Pro’s Virtual Server mapping function.
The Virtual Server allows you to select a particular computer in your
network to respond to outside Internet requests.
Security
The XRouter Pro provides firewall-like security through NAT
(Network Address Translation) to prevent unauthorized Internet users
from accessing internal files. It can also filter out Internet requests
from certain nodes on a local network for administrative purposes.
NAT (Network Address Translation)
The MIH-130 features NAT (Network Address Translation) as a
means of translating private IP addresses into a global IP address that
is, in turn, registered to the Internet. NAT essentially masks local IP
addresses to the outside world, allowing a group of Internet users to
share a single ISP account (which means you don’t have to buy sepa-
rate accounts for each user).
