The information below will assist you in setting one or more computer on iCU2 with an Acer Router (this is for the Acer 11g Broadband Router Wlan-G-RU2, but should work on all Acer Routers).

*Always make sure you have the latest firmware installed on your Router before proceeding (unless otherwise stated). Check your Router manufacturer’s Support Area on their website to obtain the newest firmware.
If you have only 1 computer to setup, or if this is the first computer you are setting up for iCU2:

On iCU2:
1: Go into Tools – Options – Ports
2: Make sure you are set to “Network” connection
3: In Normal Ports and Network Ports areas make sure you have:

Primary Port: TCP 2000
Secondary Port: TCP 2001

ie:

Normal Ports – iCU2 Listens for connections on THIS COMPUTER at the following ports
Primary (TCP): 2000 Secondary (TCP): 2001
Network / Router / Firewall Ports Routed to this computer (IP Address: 192.168.1.xxx)
Primary (TCP): 2000 Secondary (TCP): 2001

4: Also, take note of your IP Address. It most likely will not be the same as the one above. You have to take note of the IP address you see in your iCU2 window.
5:Click on OK and close iCU2

On the Acer:
1: Log into the Acer admin area (on internet explorer type in 192.168.62.1 and hit enter or go)
2: Type in your username/password for the XXXXX (if you haven’t set a user/pass – it should be admin/password )
3: Click on the Advanced button on the top right of the screen
4: Click on the Filters button
5: In the Filtering Layer area, make an entry similar to the one below
6: Make an entry that looks similar to this for:

ID Filtering Layer Proto Num Direction Private Port Range Enable
Port Filtering 0 Both 2000-2001 TCP

7: Click on Apply
8: Now click on the Virtual Servers link.
9: Make an entry similar to this for iCU2-1:

Service Public IP Address Public Port Private Port Protocol Private IP Address
iCU2-1 0.0.0.0 2000 2000 TCP (IP address you took note of)

10: Click on Apply
11: Make an entry for iCU2-2 (retaining the previous entry that you have just made) so that it looks like this:

Service Public IP Address Public Port Private Port Protocol Private IP Address
iCU2-1 0.0.0.0 2000 2000 TCP (IP address you took note of)
iCU2-2 0.0.0.0 2001 2001 TCP (IP address you took note of)

12: Click on Apply
6: Try iCU2

If you want to add a second computer / iCU2 to your home network, make sure you have setup the first computer as detailed above, then do this to add the second computer:

On the second computer’s iCU2:
1: Go into Tools – Options – Ports
2: Make sure you are set to “Network” connection
3: In Normal Ports and Network Ports areas make sure you have:

Primary Port: TCP 2002
Secondary Port: TCP 2003

ie:

Normal Ports – iCU2 Listens for connections on THIS COMPUTER at the following ports
Primary (TCP): 2002 Secondary (TCP): 2003
Network / Router / Firewall Ports Routed to this computer (IP Address: 192.168.1.xxx)
Primary (TCP): 2002 Secondary (TCP): 2003

4: Also, take note of your IP Address. It most likely will not be the same as the one above. You have to take note of the IP address you see in your iCU2 window.
5:Click on OK and close iCU2

On the Acer:
1: Log into the Acer admin area (on internet explorer type in 192.168.62.1 and hit enter or go)
2: Type in your username/password for the XXXXX (if you haven’t set a user/pass – it should be admin/password )
3: Click on the Advanced button on the top right of the screen
4: Click on the Filters button
5: In the Filtering Layer area, make an entry similar to the one below
6: Edit the entry that you had previously made so that it looks similar to this:

ID Filtering Layer Proto Num Direction Private Port Range Enable
Port Filtering 0 Both 2000-2004 TCP

7: Click on Apply
8: Now click on the Virtual Servers link.
9: Make an entry similar to this for iCU2-3 (retaining the previous settings you had made) :

Service Public IP Address Public Port Private Port Protocol Private IP Address
iCU2-1 0.0.0.0 2000 2000 TCP (computer 1′s IP address)
iCU2-2 0.0.0.0 2001 2001 TCP (computer 1′s IP address)
iCU2-3 0.0.0.0 2002 2002 TCP (computer 2′s IP address)

10: Click on Apply
11: Make another entry similar to this for iCU2-4 (retaining the previous settings you had made) :

Service Public IP Address Public Port Private Port Protocol Private IP Address
iCU2-1 0.0.0.0 2000 2000 TCP (computer 1′s IP address)
iCU2-2 0.0.0.0 2001 2001 TCP (computer 1′s IP address)
iCU2-3 0.0.0.0 2002 2002 TCP (computer 2′s IP address)
iCU2-4 0.0.0.0 2003 2003 TCP (computer 2′s IP address)

12: Click on Apply
13: Try iCU2

If you want to add more computers / iCU2s to your home network, it is simply a case of following the steps again for the second computer and changing the settings so that each computer/iCU2 has it’s own unique values. Ie, computer 3 would have:

Primary Port: TCP 2004
Secondary Port: TCP 2005

being forwarded to the local IP address of that computer.

Please remember that it is not iCU2′s responsibility to assist you in setting up your Firewall or Networking Device. We can provide you with the basic information. However, any problems you encounter or any questions you have should be directed at the manufacturer of that Firewall / Router. All fixes you attempt are done at your own risk.
