LAN

46

• LAN IP – Use the LAN menu to configure the LAN IP address for the Router and to enable the DHCP server for dynamic client address allocation.

• Set a period for the lease time if required. For home networks this may be set to Forever, which means there is no time limit on the IP address lease.

• IP Address Pool – A dynamic IP address range may be specified (192.168.2.2–254). IP addresses running from

192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.199 are the default value. Once the IP addresses, e.g. 192.168.2.100–199, have been assigned, these IP addresses will be part of the dynamic IP address pool. IP addresses from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.99, and 192.168.2.200 to 192.168.2.254 will be available as static

IP addresses.

Remember not to include the address of the Router in the client address pool. Also remember to configure your client PCs for dynamic IP address allocation.

Advanced Setup

Wireless

To configure the Router as a wireless access point for wireless clients (either stationary or roaming), all you need to do is define the radio channel, the Service Set identifier (SSID), and encryption options.

Channel and SSID

You must specify a common radio channel and SSID (Service

Set ID) to be used by the Router and all of your wireless clients.

Be sure you configure all of your clients to the same values.

ESSID : The Service Set ID. This should be set to the same value as the other wireless devices in your network.

Note: The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

47

Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router

Transmission Rate : Set the rate of data transmitted from the Router. The lower the data rate, the longer the transmission distance. (Default: Fully Automatic.)

Channel : The radio channel through which the Router communicates with PCs in its BSS. (Default: 6)

Note: The available channel settings are limited by local regulations.

Broadcast SSID: Broadcasting the SSID on the wireless network for easy connection with client PCs.

For security reason, disable SSID broadcast. (Default: Enable)

48

Encryption

Advanced Setup

If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable Wired

Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.

Encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/decryption keys for the Router and all of your wireless clients. You can choose between standard 64-bit or the more robust 128-bit encryption.

You may manually enter the keys or automatically generate encryption keys. To manually configure the keys, enter five hexadecimal pairs for each 64-bit key, or enter 13 pairs for the single 128-bit key. (A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F.) For automatic 64-bit security, enter a passphrase and click Generate. Four keys will be generated (as shown below). Choose a key from the drop-down list or accept the default key. Automatic 128-bit security generates a single key.

49

Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router

50

If you use encryption, configure the same keys used for the

Router on each of your wireless clients. Note that Wired

Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.

Advanced Setup

NAT - Network Address Translation

From this section you can configure the Address Mapping, Virtual

Server, and Special Application features that provide control over the TCP/UDP port openings in the router’s firewall. This section can be used to support several Internet based applications such as web, E-mail, FTP, and Telnet

Address Mapping

Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal users. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into the Global IP field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the global IP.

51

Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router

Virtual Server

52

If you configure the Router as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the

Router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).

For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by just entering the IP Address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them.

The more common TCP service ports include:

HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110

Advanced Setup

Special Applications

Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing,

Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections.

These applications cannot work with Network Address

Translation (NAT) enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, use the following screen to specify the additional public ports to be opened for each application.

Specify the public port number normally associated with an application in the Trigger Port field. Set the protocol type to TCP or UDP, then enter the ports that the application requires.

Popular applications requiring multiple ports are listed in the Popular

Applications field. From the drop-down list, choose the application and then choose a row number to copy this data into.

Note: Choosing a row that already contains data will overwrite the current settings.

Firewall

The Router firewall can provide access control of connected client PCs, block common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing,

Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack,

UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network users.

54

Access Control

Advanced Setup

Using this option allows you to specify different privileges based on IP address for the client PCs.
