ECI B-FOCuS Router (Router Configuration Manual)
I recently got a hold on of a B-FOCuS MultiPort 342+ router and later exchanged it with a new B-FOCuS Wireless 352+ router, as an upgrade from my ISP. Unfortunately no configuration manual was supplied by the ISP in either case, so the NET was the only source of enlightment on how to configure the router to my needs.
To my total disappointment I was unable to find anything for a long time. Imagine my frustration when some links found in various forums and blogs were dead, unsupported or even in foreign languages I couldn’t read or translate. 
Fortunately enough using the Internet Archive: Wayback Machine I was able to get a hold on to the configuration manual of a similar ECI product B-FOCuS 270/285/400PR in hope the firmware was similar enough to help me configure my router. Once again my efforts were in vein. The firmware of the two products was different in all aspects.
Later on I found the confiuration manual of the actual product but in hebrew transaltion. The illustrations provided though served as a good guidance in obtaining the required knowledge as the firmware was practically the same.
After all this ordeal I decided to write a small router configuration manual explaining how I configured the individual device to serve as a router, wireless access point, UPnP devce, etc…
ECI B-FOCuS MULTIPORT 342+
ECI B-FOCuS WIRELESS 352+
ROUTER CONFIGURATION MANUAL
(compiled by: Ioannis Epaminonda on 14 July 2006, last updated on: 17 March 2007)
INTRODUCTION
Cyprus Telecommunications Authority (CyTA) a long-standing Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Cyprus has been distributing various brands and models of ADSL modems over the years to its clients for the provision of its services. It began from the from Alcatel SpeedTouch Home in the early days of the Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) service introduction, then CyTA switched brands to ECI an Israeli communications company with the B-FOCuS Multiport 342+ model and now with the B-FOCuS Wireless 352+ with the introduction of the mi-vision service. (People have also reported receiving a B-FOCuS Multiport 400PR which is an equivalent version of B-FOCuS Multiport 342+)
This has been a revolutionary change as CyTA is now distributing a router instead of a modem device to its home-user clientele. Unfortunately thou, the router has been pre-configured as a bridge which is basically the modem interface and the router support has been disabled. Although the device has 4 ethernet ports supporting 4 computers, only 1 computer can have an internet connection at a time.
This manual has been prepared to give directions in configuring the B-FOCuS router and take the full of the device functionality. It describes the configuration procedures performed after installing the B-FOCuS router. The procedures described apply equally to the B-FOCuS Multiport 342+ and the B-FOCuS Wireless 352+ unless otherwise indicated. This manual is intended for use by skilled technicians with a solid understanding of Telecommunications.
ECI B-FOCuS DEVICE SPECIFICATIONS
The B-FOCuS router enables the connection of computers on by a local area network (LAN) to the Wide Area Network (WAN) via an ADSL dial-up network. The B-FOCuS router can be installed either as a bridge (in layer 2 of the Communication model) or as a router (in layer 3 of the Communication model). It contains an internal dialler, as well as additional services, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Network Address Translation (NAT) and Firewall. The configuration software is burned into flash memory. You can modify it to your needs according to the type of local network, the type of telephony infrastructure, and agreements with telephony and Internet suppliers.
The B-FOCuS Multiport 342+ router has an internal ethernet hub with four ports. It can connect up to four computers to a common ADSL line. The ethernet port rates can be either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. The B-FOCuS Wireless 352+ is the optimal home networking solution, supporting both wireless and ethernet connections. Many professional users have home desktop computers for family use, and notebook computers for professional and remote use. This powerful router can support up to four desktop computers via the ethernet ports and several additional notebook and/or desktop computers via the wireless link. The wireless link is based on the latest 802.11g standard and can support bandwidth of up to 54 Mbps.
The following figure describes a typical connection of the B-FOCuS router (Network hub) to the LAN and the WAN. The router routes the traffic among these networks. (By definition, the IP address of each new router port of the LAN-side is 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These definitions can be modified as part of the configuration.)
GATHER CONNECTION DETAILS
ECI B-FOCuS Multiport 342+ / Wireless 352+ is currently configured to work simply as a modem, by bridging the connection to any of the 4 ethernet outlets that manages to establish a conenction.
Once the connection is established with the ISP, the ISP registers the ethernet MAC address that communicates with so that it will only communicate with that individual ethernet card only. Since the router support is disabled on the device the internal ethernet is not being used and therefore the ethernet card on the PC is registered. Therefore only one PC can have internet access at a time. To configure the device to work as a router, the IP registered to the computer’s ethernet MAC address must first be released, so that the router’s ethernet MAC address can take over the IP.
First of all you need to disconnect any ethernet CAT-5 cables attached to the device except the one that is currently connected to the computer that has internet connection, to avoid any other powered-on computers from establishing a connection with the ISP.
Prior to using the configuration software, the computer should be defined on the same subnet with the router.
Access to the definition windows differs somewhat for the various operating systems.
The procedure presented here refers to Windows XP.
To redefine the computers in the Local Area Network (LAN):
1. From the Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections. The Network Connections dialog box appears.
2. From the list of connections to networks, select the Network Interface Card you used for connecting the computer to the router’s eth0 port.
3. Click Status on the right-click menu. The Local Area Connection Status dialog box appears showing the General tab.
4. Select Support tab. The dialog box will look like the one below.
7. Then click Close button and return to the General tab. Don’t close Local Area Connection Status dialog box just yet as it will be needed later in the procedure at step 10.
RELEASE IP FROM CURRENT ETHERNET CARD
At this stage the computer’s ethernet MAC address must be released from the router, in order for the router’s internal ethernet MAC address to be registered.
8. From the Start menu, select Run. The Run dialog appears.
9. Type ipconfig /release in the Open field as shown in the dialog below and click OK. This will release the IP so that we can configure the router to takeover the IP.
CONFIGURE CONNECTION TO ACCESS ROUTER CONFIGURATION
To redefine the computers in the Local Area Network (LAN):
10. Return to the Local Area Connection Status dialog box
11. Select the General tab, click Properties. The Local Area Connection Properties dialog box appears.
12. Verify that the name of the Network Interface Card you used for connecting the computer to the router’s eth0 port appears in the Connect using field.
14. Select Use the following IP address. The 3 fields below will enable.
15. Define a unique IP address for the computer, in the same subnet where the router is defined (its format should be 192.168.1.n, where n is a unique integer from 2 to 255). In the Subnet mask field, enter 255.255.255.0. In the Default gateway field, enter 192.168.1.1 (the router’s IP address).
16. Click OK to save changes and close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box.
17. Click OK to apply changes and close the Local Area Network Properties dialog box.
CONFIGURE ROUTER
Now the router configuration software is activated. To access the configuration software:
18. Open an internet browser, preferably Internet Explorer.
19. In the address line, enter the router’s IP address: http://192.168.1.1. A login dialog box appears.
This service is essential for the router functionality.
21. Select SETUP tab in the configuration page upper panel. Then select Firewall and NAT Service tab from the left panel.
22. Check Enable Firewall and NAT Service on the dialog that appears, and Apply changes.
25. Once the page reloads should look like the one below, make sure that NAT and Firewall options are checked. If IP Address, Mask, Gateway fields show N/A then click Renew.
(Note: If you are also registered for mivision service from CyTA, disable the “Firewall” option as it interferes with the service.)
CONFIGURE ROUTER LAN CONNECTION
WLAN in LAN group 2 is only available for B-FOCuS Wireless 352+
Optional configuration of inserting the wireless connections into the same LAN.
26. Select WLAN from the listbox under LAN group 2 and then press Remove button. WLAN will be moved to the left listbox under Interfaces. Select WLAN again and then press Add button in LAN group 1, to move the WLAN interface to the same LAN group. Finally Apply changes.
28. Select Enable DHCP Server option in order to manually configure the DHCP server.
29. Define a Start IP and End IP for the first and last IP addresses to assign when a computer connects. These should be in the same subnet where the router is defined (its format should be 192.168.1.n, where n is a unique integer from 2 to 255).
30. Uncheck Router as Domain Name Server to manually configure the DNS servers. Enter below in DNS 1 and DNS 2 the IP addresses retrieved from step 6)
31. Check Router as Default Gateway.
32. Leave all other fields as shown in the illustration above and Apply changes.
OPTIONAL - ENABLE UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of computer network protocols. The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home and corporate environments. UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP device control protocols built upon open, Internet-based communication standards.
The term UPnP is gleaned from Plug-and-Play, a technology for dynamically attaching devices to a computer directly.
Optional configuration of the UPnP functionality.
33. Check Enable UPNP to enable it.
34. Then make sure Connection1 is selected for WAN Connection field and LAN group 1 selected for LAN Connection field. Then Apply changes.
(Note: This option will add a “Local Area Connection on Linux IGD” icon under “Internet Gateway” in “Network Connections” in Control Panel. This is evidence that the UPnP service is active. You can hide the icon by clicking “Hide icons for networked UPnP devices” on the common tasks pane on the left. You can also check which ports the UnP device handles (opens/closes) at the discretion of local applications.)
OPTIONAL - LAN CLIENTS
Using this feature user can see all the PCs on the LAN segment. Each PC is qualified to be either “dynamic” (PC obtained a lease from this router) or “static” (PC has a manually configured IP address).
User can add a “static” IP address( belonging to the network segment of the router LAN IP address ). Any existing static entry falling within dhcp server’s range can be deleted and the IP address would be made available for future allocation.
Once an IP address is allocated it shows up in the list of LAN clients as a “dynamic” entry. Any dynamic entry can be converted into static by using “reserve” checkbox.
(Note: Dynamic clients show up in the list only when DHCP server is running. This function must be enabled after enabling router support and assigning your PC a local IP, so continue with the numbered steps and when your PC has a proper LAN IP come back to this step to enable Port Forwarding as well.)
Optional configuration of static LAN IP’s.
–. From the table below select the MAC addresses you want to Reserve a static LAN IP so you can reference easily in the network. This is a good feature to use with Port Forwarding as well.
–. Then Apply changes and you are done, Now the specific device will always get the same LAN IP.
OPTIONAL - PORT FORWARDING
Using the Port Forwarding page, you can provide local services (for example web hosting) for people on the Internet or play Internet games. To configure a service, game or other application select the external connection (for example the Internet connection), select the computer hosting the service and add the corresponding firewall rule. If you want to add a custom application, select the User category, click New and fill in the port, protocols and description for your application. You can also add/edit/delete rules without using the pre-defined Firewall Policy Database (games, services, etc.). Click on “Custom Rules” to access this type of interface. In the presence of the firewall, anonymous Internet traffic is blocked.
Optional configuration of Port Forwarding.
(Note: Instead of using UnP device to handle (open/close) ports at the discretion of local applications, you can set permanent rules for the opening ports per IP. This function must be enabled after enabling router support and assigning your PC a local IP, so continue with the numbered steps and when your PC has a proper LAN IP come back to this step to enable Port Forwarding as well.)
–. Make sure Connection1 is selected for WAN Connection field and LAN group 1 selected for LAN Connection field.
–. Select the correct LAN IP and a predefined rule from the list provided and press Add > to enable the rule.
–. For example if you select Apps, then Win2k Terminal you will notice that it opens the Windows Remote Assistance/Desktop ports.
–. Then Apply changes.
OPTIONAL - ENABLE ROUTER WIRELESS ACCESS POINT
The wireless access point functionality is only available for B-FOCuS Wireless 352+(Note: see step 26)
35. Select WIRELESS tab from the upper panel and Setup tab from the left panel. The Wireless Setup dialog box appears.
36. Check Enable AP and Apply changes
37. Select Security tab and Wireless Security dialog box appears
38. Select WPA option for the Wireless Security Level. Once the page reloads, select PSK String and enter a password not exceeding 63 characters. Finally Apply changes
SAVE ROUTER CONFIGURATION
At this stage the router configuration is completed. All the changes made have been applied for the current session only thou. The default configuration is hard-coded in the router firmware. This means that if the router is switched-off or restarted for any reason all changes are lost and need to be re-applied. Therefore it is recommended to permanently save the current configuration in order to prevent unexpected resets.
39. Select TOOLS tab from the upper panel and System Commands tab from the left panel. The System Commands dialog box will appear providing buttons for saving, restarting or restoring the router.
RESTORE INTERNET PROTOCOL (TCP/IP) PROPERTIES
The router is now completely configured …
All is left now is to restore, the computer’s Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) settings to automatic, because now everything is handled by the DHCP server of the Local Area Network (LAN).
40. From the Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections. The Network Connections dialog box appears.
41. From the list of connections to networks, select the Network Interface Card you used for connecting the computer to the router’s eth0 port.
42. Click Status on the right-click menu. The Local Area Connection Status dialog box appears showing the General tab.
43. At the General tab, click Properties. The Local Area Connection Properties dialog box appears.
44. Verify that the name of the Network Interface Card you used for connecting the computer to the router’s eth0 port appears in the Connect using field.
45. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click Properties. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box appears.
46. Select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically as well.
47. Click OK to save changes and close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box.
48. Click OK to apply changes and close the Local Area Network Properties dialog box.
SYSTEM CONNECTIVITY CHECK
Once step 48 has been performed, the connection will disconnect briefly and reconnect applying the new changes. Once the connection is established again, verify the connection connectivity status by returning to the Network Connection.
49. Repeat steps 1-4 to bring the dialog box below and verify that changes have been applied correctly.
ACCESS INTERNET
When the above procedure has been completed, the computer should be able to access the internet. If not then open the internet browser and type http://www.i-choice.com.cy or any other equivalent DSL provider address, in the address bar to access the DSL sign-in page.
50. Perform sign-in if the connection has been disconnected due to the changes made above.
HARDWARE RESET
In case you need to return to the default configurations and you cannot access the router via the configuration GUI, perform a hardware reset.
Note: Hardware reset should be performed only when absolutely necessary.
To perform hardware reset:
1. Disconnect the ADSL cable from the router.
2. Press the Reset button on the back panel of the router until the ADSL LED illuminates.
3. Wait until the router restarts.
4. Reconnect the ADSL cable to the router.

Great guide. I do not need to apply it for the moment as I have a separate wireless router connected to Cyta’s modem. Cool bookmark to have though.
I was wandering however if this is the answer to getting miVision on a PC using VLC. Has anyone out there achieved this?

PS : your manual GAMA!
Quick Note:
If you have manually damaged/changed the router firmware, there is nothing I can do. Can you post the firmware version here ?
One thing I can confirm though, is that Enable AP will not enable with Firefox browsers, so it strictly needs Internet Explorer (of course those are the only two browsers I have tried). Therefore try again with Internet Explorer.
One more thing is that Port Forwarding settings will be cleared once the router is restarted irrespective of whether the Save All settings button has been used previously. Therefore they need to be re-set.

Hello Ioanni. Thank’s for putting the guide up it is brilliant. However I now have a prioblem connecting tio the internet. The router gets its IP correctly, but I can’t connect to cytanet.
Also, the router does not respond to “AP Enable”.
Could you please mail me?
Best regards
Daniel
Great guide dude!
However i have one problem.
On step 25 my IP doesnt’t renew. I’m sure that previously i have released it correctly. I even had the people at CYTA to do it for me.
I’m stuck on step 25. Can you help me?
Hi .This is Sotiris.
I solved the problem with step 25.
but now the Lease obtaines and Lease expires is only 1 hour.
Is that a problem?
If so, how do i change it?
Dear Ioanni,
This is a hell of a great job. we need such brilliant minds at Cyprus. Thank you for sharing it with us and did not keep it for your self. if you ever need anything that i can help with i am at your disposal.
Thank you,

i have done everything you said and it works perfecetly, also the wireless which im most iinterset. Now i have a small problem becouse upstairs my wireless signal is kind of low and i would like to know how to use a wireless repeater. i have test a BT voyager wireless router setting it exactly as B-FOCUS is but it aint work. Do you know any wireless repeater for the B-FOCUS 352+ wireless???
Thank you,
George
Ioannis thank you for this excellent guide. I managed to connect to the router wirelessly however there is an issue when using both wirelless connection and mivision. It seems that the mivision connection to the router “eats up” all traffic and the wireless connection is extremely slow. If you disconnect the mivision device from the router then the wireless connection becomes very fast as it should be.
Any ideas?
Thank you and regards,
Andreas
Hi,
I followed your instructions to set up the my Router and everthing went ok. It is now set up as the DHCP and The wireless access has been enabled. I can connect to the device via wireless however I can only access the internet through the wired connection.
Any ideas? Help would be appreciated.
regards,
Will
For those who tried my port forwarding guide and had problems (http://panagiotis13.741.com/) it is because they have dynamic IP. So instead of inserting your external (public) IP, enter 0.0.0.0
It should work

I did something wrong and then pushed the reset default setting in the modem menu.
Now I cant connect to the modem!!!
I think I should reboot it in order to be able to connect again but I dont know how to.
I switched it off, pushed the reset button in the back…nothing.
Please help!!!
Thanks for the post, i have been trying to set up my router for a while now with no luck, will attempt this approach soon. BTW, ive been trying to convince CYTA to change my modem with the one that comes with wireless for some time now with no luck. Any ideas, it was even not working for some time and they just told me to get an electrican. they really seem not to want to give out those wireless ones, or is it just me. well any ideas would be welcome.
Great technical info, I had only just bought a new linksys wireless router and I couldn’t get it to work with Cyta’s modem and your advice worked a treat.
The section about specifying an IP address on the PC and then resetting it to automatic allowed the router, the modem and the pc to sort out their previously conflicting addresses.
Thank you for taking the time to post this information.

You can change the Lease time through the Setup, although it is not necessary.
On step 27 you can change the Lease time by changing the number of seconds for the Lease time.

Hi
I have noticed recently that i-choice has been negotiating an IPV6 Teledo tunnel connection - not sure why? Are they running out of 10.x.x.x private addresses to NAT?
Has anyone else noticed this?
Great board BTW…
As far as my knowledge goes, the i-choice service using the 10.x.x.x private NAT network address system, can facilitate a limited number of clients of roughly around 255³ (16,581,375 connections) including home, business and corporate clients.
The above rough number also contains some reserved addresses that should be deducted but the difference is negligible, as Cyprus total residents are less than a million and including an assumption that business and corporate clients usually require more than one connection per office.
To answer James’ question, I do not believe that Cyprus ISPs using CyTAs network have extinguished that limit.
It is a fact that IPv4 addresses are extinguishing from the market and IPv6 addresses are being negotiated at present. CyTA also being a web hosting service may (explicitly) require additional IPv6 addresses to satisfy client demand.
Or one thing that I have just thought, the NAT addresses are not extinguished but the external IPs that CyTA has registered may are… (each ADSL subscriber has a unique NAT IP and external IP) due to the increase in subscribers in recent months.

If you manage to login with any of the above, advise the manual to configure the router.
Please notify me if you manage a correct configuration, so we can prepare a configuration manual for that as well.
Hi Ioannis, Thanks for the info. Good work.
I have been trying to set up my Netgear router instead of changing the default settings on the B-FOCuS modem. I believe this should work OK but I am having problems.
I have set the username and password to that give by cytanet and also set it to use the fixed IP address that cytanet have provided.
The are a couple of other settings that I am not sure of.
For example:
Encapsulation = PPPoA or PPPoE ?
LLC-based or VC-based ?
VPI = ?? VCI = ??
Any suggestions welcomed.
Thanks.
