About This User’s Guide

This user’s guide provides instructions on how to install the DSL-504G ADSL Router and use it to connect a computer or Ethernet LAN to the Internet.

If you are using a computer with a functioning Ethernet port, the quickest and easiest way to set up the

DSL-504G is to follow the instructions provided in the Quick Installation Guide.

Before You Start

Please read and make sure you understand all the prerequisites for proper installation of your new Router. Have all the necessary information and equipment on hand before beginning the installation.

Installation Overview

The procedure to install the Router can be described in general terms in the following steps:

1. Gather information and equipment needed to install the device. Make sure you have all the necessary information and equipment.

2. Install the hardware, connect the cables to the device and power on the Router.

3. Check the IP settings on your computer and change them if necessary so the computer can access the web-based software built into the Router.

4. Use the web-based management software to configure the device.

Installation Requirements

In order to establish a connection to the Internet it will be necessary to provide information to the Router that will be stored in its memory. For some users, only their account information (Username and Password) is required. For others, various parameters that control and define the Internet connection will be required.

Low Pass Filters

Since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper wiring to carry their respective signals, a filtering mechanism may be necessary to avoid mutual interference. A low pass filter device can be installed for each telephone that shares the line with the ADSL line. These filters are easy to install passive devices that connect to the ADSL device and/or telephone using standard telephone cable. Ask your service provider for more information about the use of low pass filters with your installation.

Operating Systems

The DSL-504G uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web configuration manager may be accessed using any operating system capable of running web browser software, including Windows 98

SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.

Web Browser

Any common web browser can be used to configure the Router using the web configuration management software. The program is designed to work best with more recently released browsers such as Opera, Microsoft

Internet Explorer® version 5.0, Netscape Navigator® version 4.7, or later versions. The web browser must have

JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as virus protection or web user security packages) that may be running on your computer.

1


Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)

Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the Router. This connection is an Ethernet connection and therefore requires that your computer be equipped with an Ethernet port as well. Most notebook computers are now sold with an Ethernet port already installed. Likewise, most fully assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet NIC adapter as standard equipment. If your computer does not have an Ethernet port, you must install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the Router. If you must install an adapter, follow the installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter.

Additional Software

It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet.

Additional software must be installed if you are using the device a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another computer or gateway device, not in the Router itself.

If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE or PPPoA connection, the information needed to establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored in the Router. In this case, it is not necessary to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in the device, including account information used to identify and verify the connection.

All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global IP settings must reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN side of the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a gateway device such as a router or similar firewall hardware. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways. Your network service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC configuration that may be required.

Record Your Account Information

Information you will need from your ADSL service provider:

Username

DHCP Client status

If your computer has an Ethernet NIC, you can connect the

DSL-504G to this Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable.

You can also use the Ethernet port on the DSL-504G to connect to other Ethernet devices, such as a Wireless

Access Point.

Your DSL-504G ADSL Router is configured, by default, to be a DHCP server. This means that it can assign an IP address, subnet mask, and a default gateway address to computers on your LAN. The default range of IP addresses the DSL-504G will assign are from 10.1.1.2 to 10.1.1.254.

Your computer (or computers) needs to be configured to

Obtain an IP address automatically (that is, they need to be configured as DHCP clients.)

Record info here

Once you have the above information, you are ready to setup and configure your DSL-504G ADSL Router.

Note

The Router may be reset to its factory default settings by performing a Restore settings operation within the management interface. If you cannot gain access to the management interface, you may opt to use the Reset button on the rear panel of the device.

Introduction

This section provides a brief description of the Router, its associated technologies and a list of Router features.

Router Description and Operation

The DSL-504G ADSL Router is designed to provide a simple and cost-effective ADSL Internet connection for individual computers through the Ethernet ports, or use it to bridge your Ethernet LAN to the Internet. The DSL-

504G combines the benefits of high-speed ADSL technology and LAN IP management in one compact and convenient package. ADSL technology enables many interactive multi-media applications such as video conferencing and collaborative computing.

The Router is easy to install and use. The DSL-504G connects to computers or an Ethernet LAN via a standard

Ethernet interface. The ADSL connection is made using ordinary twisted-pair telephone line with standard connectors. Multiple PCs can be networked and connected to the Internet using a single Wide Area Network

(WAN) interface and single global IP address.

The Router supports transparent bridging and can be used for IP packet routing over the Internet. Cost saving features of the Router such as NAT (Network Address Translator) and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol) improve administration efficiency and improve security for your private network. The advanced security enhancements, packet filtering and port redirection, can help protect your network from potentially devastating intrusions by malicious agents from outside your network.

What is ADSL?

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is an access technology that utilizes ordinary copper telephone lines to enable broadband high-speed digital data transmission and interactive multimedia applications for business and residential customers.

ADSL greatly increases the signal carrying capacity of copper telephone lines without interfering with regular telephone services. For the ADSL user, this means faster downloads and more reliable connectivity. ADSL devices make it possible to enjoy benefits such as high-speed Internet access without experiencing any loss of quality or disruption of voice/fax telephone capabilities.

ADSL provides a dedicated service over a single telephone line operating at speeds of up to 8 Mbps downstream and up to 640 Kbps upstream, depending on local telephone line conditions. A secure point-to-point connection is established between the user and the central office of the service provider.

D-Link ADSL devices incorporate the recommendations of the ADSL Forum regarding framing, data format, and upper layer protocols.

Router Features

The DSL-504G ADSL Ethernet Router utilizes the latest ADSL enhancements to provide a reliable Internet portal suitable for most small to medium sized offices. DSL-504G advantages include:

• Data rates up to 8 Mbps for downstream and 864 Kbps for upstream

• Friendly web-based graphical user interface for configuration and management

• Supports up to eight simultaneous virtual connections for a single ADSL account

• Supports T1.413 issue 2, G.dmt and G.lite standards

• Auto-handshake and rate adaptation for different ADSL flavors

Hardware Installation

The DSL-504G maintains five separate interfaces, four Ethernet and one ADSL interface. Place the Router in a location where it can be safely connected to the various devices as well as to a power source. The Router should not be located where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive heat. Make sure the cables and power cord are placed safely out of the way so they do not create a tripping hazard. As with any electrical appliance, observe common sense safety precautions.

The Router can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you need to view them for troubleshooting.

Power on Router

The Router must be used with the power adapter included with the device.

CAUTION

To power on the Router:

1. Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the rear panel of the Router and plug the adapter into a suitable nearby power source.

2. You should see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit. The Status LED should light solid green and begin to blink after a few seconds.

3. If the Ethernet port is connected to a working device, check the Ethernet Link/Act LED indicators to make sure the connection is valid. The Router will attempt to establish the ADSL connection, if the ADSL line is connected and the Router is properly configured this should light up after several seconds. If this is the first time installing the device, some settings may need to be changed before the Router can establish a connection.

Factory Reset Button

The Router may be reset to the original factory default settings by depressing the reset button for a few seconds while the device is powered on. Use a ballpoint or paperclip to gently push down the reset button. Remember that this will wipe out any settings stored in flash memory including user account information and LAN IP settings. The factory default IP address of the Router is 10.1.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.0.0.0, the default management Username is admin and the default Password is admin.

Network Connections

Network connections are provided through the ADSL port and the four Ethernet ports on the back of the Router.

See the Rear Panel diagram above and the illustrations below for examples.

Connect ADSL Line

Use the ADSL cable included with the Router to connect it to a telephone wall socket or receptacle. Plug one end of the cable into the ADSL port (RJ-11 receptacle) on the rear panel of the Router and insert the other end into the RJ-11 wall socket. If you are using a low pass filter device, follow the instructions included with the device or given to you by your service provider. The ADSL connection represents the WAN interface, the connection to the Internet. It is the physical link to the service provider’s network backbone and ultimately to the Internet.

Connect Router to Ethernet

The Router may be connected to a single computer or Ethernet device through the 10BASE-TX Ethernet port on the rear panel. Any connection to an Ethernet concentrating device such as a switch or hub must operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps only. When connecting the Router to any Ethernet device that is capable of operating at speeds higher than 10Mbps, be sure that the device has auto-negotiation (NWay) enabled for the connecting port.

Use standard twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the Router is a crossed port (MDI-X).

Follow standard Ethernet guidelines when deciding what type of cable to use to make this connection. When connecting the Router directly to a PC or server use a normal straight-through cable. You should use a crossed cable when connecting the Router to a normal (MDI-X) port on a switch or hub. Use a normal straight-through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a hub or switch.

The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to Router connection. Be sure that the cable connecting the LAN to the Router does not exceed 100 meters.

Computer to Router Connection

You can connect the

Router directly to a

10/100BASE-TX

Ethernet adapter card

(NIC) installed on a

PC using the Ethernet cable provided as shown in this diagram.

9


Hub or Switch to Router Connection

Connect the Router to an uplink port on an Ethernet hub or switch with a straight-through cable as shown in the diagram below:

If you wish to reserve the uplink port on the switch or hub for another device, connect to any on the other

MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.) with a crossed cable.

Power On Router

To power on the Router:

1. Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the rear panel of the Router and plug the adapter into a suitable nearby power source.

2. You should see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit. The Status LED should light solid green and begin to blink after a few seconds.

3. If you have the Router connected to your network you can look at the Ethernet Link/Act LED indicators to make sure they have valid connections. The Router will attempt to establish the ADSL connection, if the

ADSL line is connected and the connection is properly configured this should light up after several seconds.

To configure the ADSL connection, read the instructions contained in the following chapters.

Factory Reset Button

The Router may be reset to the original factory default settings by depressing the reset button for a few seconds while the device is powered on. Use a ballpoint or paperclip to push down the reset button. Remember that this will wipe out any settings stored in flash memory including IP settings. The factory default IP address of the

Router is 10.1.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.

Basic Router Configuration

The first time you setup the Router it is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single computer making sure that both the computer and the Router are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN connection is functioning properly you may continue change settings to suit your network. This chapter is only concerned with settings up the WAN connection. The following chapter, Web-based Management Guide, describes the various menus used to configure and monitor the Router including how to change IP settings and

DHCP server setup.

Wan Configuration Summary

1. Connect to the Router To configure the WAN connection used by the Router it is first necessary to communicate with the Router through its management interface, which is HTML-based and can be accessed using a web browser. To access the management software your computer must be able to “see” the Router. Your computer can see the Router if it is in the same “neighborhood” or subnet as the

Router. This is accomplished by making sure your computer has IP settings that place it in the same subnet as the Router. The easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP settings is to configure it to use the DHCP server in the Router. The next section describes how to change the IP configuration for a computer running a Windows operating system to be a DHCP client.

2. Configure the WAN Connection Once your are able to access the configuration software you can proceed to change the settings required to establish the ADSL connection and connect to the service provider’s network. There are different methods used to establish the connection to the service provider’s network and ultimately to the Internet. You should know what Encapsulation and connection type you are required to use for your ADSL service. It is also possible that you must change the PVC settings used for the ADSL connection. Your service provider should provide all the information you need to configure the WAN connection.

Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer

In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must first have the TCP/IP protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol installed. If you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard installations. Below is an illustrated example of how to configure a Windows XP system to automatically obtain IP settings from the Router.

Following this example is a step-by-step description of the procedures used on the other Windows operating systems to first check if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed, if it is not instruction are provided for installing it. Once the protocol has been installed you can configure the system to receive IP settings from the Router.

For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that configure the system to receive an IP address from the Router, that is, configure the system to be a DHCP client.

Note

If you are using this Router to provide Internet access for more than one computer, you can use these instructions later to change the IP settings for the other computers. However you cannot use the same IP address since every computer must have its own IP address that is unique on the local network.

11


Configure Windows XP for DHCP

Use the following steps to configure a computer running Windows XP to be a DHCP client.

2. In the Control Panel folder, click on Network and Internet Connections.

29


LAN IP Settings

You can configure the LAN IP address to suit your preference. Many users will find it convenient to use the default settings together with DHCP service to manage the IP settings for their private network. The IP address of the Router is the base address used for DHCP. In order to use the Router for DHCP on your LAN, the IP address pool used for DHCP must be compatible with the IP address of the Router. The IP addresses available in the DHCP IP address pool will change automatically if you change the IP address of the Router. See the next section for information on DHCP setup.

To access the LAN Settings menu, click the LAN button in the Home directory.

Configure LAN IP settings

To change the LAN IP Address or LAN Network Mask, type in the desired values and click the Apply button.

The new IP settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To Save &

Reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the Misc (Miscellaneous) menu button. In the

Miscellaneous menu, click the Save & Reboot button. The Router will save the new IP settings and restart. Your web browser should automatically be redirected to the new IP address. The new IP settings will be applied upon restarting.

DHCP Server Settings for the LAN

The DHCP server is enabled by default for the Router’s Ethernet LAN interface. DHCP service will supply IP settings to workstations configured to automatically obtain IP settings that are connected to the Router though the Ethernet port. When the Router is used for DHCP it becomes the default gateway for DHCP client connected to it. Keep in mind that if you change the IP address of the Router, you must change the range of IP addresses in the pool used for DHCP on the LAN.

To display the DHCP Server menu, click the DHCP button in the Home directory. Active DHCP Clients appear listed in the DHCP Client List below the configuration menu. Information about DHCP clients includes the IP address, MAC address, host name and lease time are displayed in the list.

Configure DHCP server settings for the LAN

The three options for DHCP service are as follows:

You may use the Router as a DHCP server for your LAN.

You can disable DHCP service and manually configure IP settings for workstations.

You use DHCP service provided by your ISP.

Follow the instructions below according to which of the above DHCP options you want to use. When you have configured the DHCP Settings as you want them, click the Apply button to commit the new settings. The new

DHCP settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To Save &

Reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the Misc (Miscellaneous) menu button. In the

Miscellaneous menu, click he Save & Reboot button.

31


Use the Router for DHCP

To use the built-in DHCP server, click to select the DHCP Server option if it is not already selected. The IP

Address Pool settings can be adjusted so that up to 253IP addresses are available for use. The Starting IP

Address is the lowest available IP address (default = 10.1.1.2). If you change the IP address of the Router this will change automatically to be 1 more that the IP address of the Router. The Ending IP Address is the highest

IP address number in the pool. Select the Lease Time from the pull-down menu. This is the amount of time that a workstation is allowed to reserve an IP address in the pool if the workstation is disconnected from the network or powered off. Lease time options vary from 1 hour to 1 week. DHCP client workstations on your LAN must be properly configured to use DHCP service. Be sure to save the new settings.

Use the ISP’s DHCP Server

Some ISP’s can provide DHCP service for individual workstations on your private LAN. To use the service you will need the IP address of the DHCP server on your ISP’s network. When this option is selected, the Router automatically forwards DHCP requests from clients on your LAN to the outside DHCP server, and then forwards the DHCP reply from the server to the client. DHCP Relay can be used for any WAN setting connection type.

DHCP Server Relay

To setup DHCP relay, click to select the DHCP Relay option. The menu will display the DHCP Relay IP entry field. This is used to enter the IP address of the outside DHCP server to which requests are forwarded. Enter the

IP address of the ISP’s DHCP server and click the Apply button. DHCP client workstations on your LAN must be properly configured to use DHCP from the ISP’s server. Be sure to save the new settings.

Disable the DHCP Server

To disable DHCP, click to select the No DHCP option and click on the Apply button. Be sure to save the new settings.

32


DNS Server Settings

The Router is configured by default to act as a proxy for DNS service to workstations on your LAN. As a proxy

DNS agent, the Router will relay DNS service to clients on the LAN. When the DNS Relay Selection is enabled, the DNS clients on the LAN will automatically get DNS settings relayed from the Router. Alternatively, if DNS

Relay is disabled, workstations must be configured to initiate DNS requests for each session, and therefore you must configure DNS settings for the workstations.

Configure DNS IP address

Usually an ISP will provide you with one or two DNS server IP addresses. Enter these IP addresses in the available entry fields for the Preferred DNS Server and the Alternative DNS Server.

If you do not want to use the Router as a DNS proxy agent, change the DNS Relay Selection to Disabled.

When you have configured the DNS settings as desired, click the Apply button. Be sure to save the settings.

33


Save New Settings

Any changes you have made to the must be saved to the Router’s memory and the device must be restarted for the settigns to take effect. To save settings you need to access the Miscellaneous Configuration menu. Click on the Tools directory tab then click the Misc menu button to view the menu pictured below.

Save Settings and Restart the Router

To save the new settings, click the Save and Reboot button. It will take about two minutes for the whole process to be completed. Do not turn off the power while the Router is saving and restarting.

The Help menu presents links to pages that explain various functions and services provided by the Router.

35


NAT

Click on the NAT menu button to display the NAT and DMZ menu. This menu allows you to enable and disable

Network Address Translation (NAT) system wide. Most users will leave the default NAT setting, Enabled. If

NAT is Disabled, the DSL-504G will function essentially as a invisible bridge. Any LAN IP addresses will be readily visible to properly equipped agents on the WAN. If you are using multiple virtual circuits, NAT will be disabled for all PVCs. Special arrangements will be required if NAT is disabled and you want to support multiple

IP addresses on your private LAN. You may be able to disable NAT if you are using DHCP Relay service from your ISP, but check with the ISP before doing this.

DMZ

Since some applications are not compatible with NAT, the Router supports use of a DMZ IP address for a single host on the LAN. This IP address is not protected by NAT and will therefore be visible to agents on the Internet with the right type of software. Keep in mind that any client PC in the DMZ will be exposed to various types of security risks. If you use the DMZ, take measures (such as client-based virus protection) to protect the remaining client PCs on your LAN from possible contamination through the DMZ.

Figure 4- 2. DMZ IP address configuration

To designate a DMZ IP address, type in the IP Address of the server or device on your LAN and click the

Apply button. It will be necessary to save the settings and reboot the Router before the DMZ is activated. See

Save Router Configuration Settings below.

36


Virtual Server

A Virtual Server can allow remote users to access services on your LAN such as FTP for file transfers or SMTP and POP3 for e-mail. The DSL-504G will accept remote requests for these services at your Global IP Address, using the specified TCP or UDP protocol and port number, and then redirect these requests to the server on your

LAN with the Private IP address you specify. Remember that the Private IP Address must be within the range specified for your LAN.

The Virtual Server feature employs UDP/TCP port redirection to direct traffic through the WAN port to specified servers on your private network. Port redirection can also be used to direct potentially hazardous packets to a proxy server outside your firewall. For example, you can configure the Router to direct HTTP packets to a designated HTTP server in the DMZ. You can define a set of instructions for a specific incoming port or for a range of incoming ports. Each instruction set or rule is indexed and can be modified or deleted later as needed.

Virtual server configuration sets can be used together with complimentary features such as Firewall Rules, DMZ devices and IP Filters to improve efficiency and security. Consider how these other functions will effect the virtual server sets you have configured and enabled.

The table below describes the configuration settings presented in the Virtual Server menu.

NAT Configuration

The Virtual Server menu also allows you to enable and disable Network Address Translation (NAT) system wide.

See the previous discussion of NAT if you intend to disable it.

Figure 4- 3. Virtual Server Menu and List

To modify virtual server settings for any previously created virtual server set listed, click on the note pad icon in the right hand column of the Virtual Servers List for the set you want to configure. The set will appear highlighted in the list and the parameters that have been configured appear in the settings fields above the list.

Adjust the settings as desired and click the Apply button to put them into effect.

37


To configure a virtual server set, define the following settings in the Virtual Server configuration menu located in the top half of the browser window.

NAT

Private IP

Protocol Type

Private Port

Public Port

Network Address Translation (NAT) can be enabled or disabled system wide.

Under certain circumstances it may be desirable to disable NAT, however this will render other router functions (such as DHCP) useless. Most users will leave NAT enabled.

This is the IP address of the server on your LAN that will provide the service to remote users. The Private IP address is used to direct the service to a specific computer on your private network such as an FTP, Email or public web server. Type in the IP address of the server used for the service being configured here.

You can select the transport protocol (TCP or UDP) that the application on the virtual server will use for its connections. Select to redirect TCP, UDP or

Both (All) types of packets from the pull-down menu. The choice of this protocol is dependent on the application that is providing the service. If you do not know which protocol to choose, check your application’s documentation.

This is the TCP/UDP port on LAN (Private) interface. Keep in mind that if you use a non-standard port number for an application with a reserved UDP/TCP port, some additional configuration may be required for the servers or workstations using the application on the LAN side.

Port redirection must be used with a specified server or computer on the LAN

(identified by the Private IP address).

The Public Port is the TCP/UDP port on the WAN interface. Select one of the following options from the pull-down menu to define a Single Port, Range of

Ports, Any Port or Safe Ports (ports above 1024). If you are redirecting a single standard TCP/UDP port from the WAN to the LAN, select the Single

Port option and use the standard port number here (such as port 23 for Telnet or port 25 for SMTP). If choose the Any Port option, all TCP/UDP traffic will be directed as specified.

Click the Apply button to put the new virtual server configuration set or modification into effect. Any server sets configured in the menu will appear in the Virtual Server List with the new settings. The Router must save the new settings and reboot before the new virtual server configurations are applied.

To remove any configuration set from the Virtual Server List, click on the trashcan icon for set you want to delete.

Note

Some applications require multiple TCP or UDP ports to function properly.

Applications such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, and Internet telephony are some examples of applications that often require multiple connections. These applications often conflict with NAT, and therefore require special handling. See the discussion of DMZ configuration below.

38


Filters

Filter rules in the Router are put in place to allow or block specified traffic. The Filter Rules however can be used in a single direction to examine and then Allow or Deny traffic for Inbound (WAN to LAN) or Outbound

(LAN to WAN) routed data. The rules based on IP address and TCP/UDP port.

Configure the filter rules as desired and click the Apply button to create the rule. The newly created rule appears listed in the Outbound Filter List at the bottom of the menu. The table below describes the various parameters that are configured for the filter rules.

Figure 4- 4. Filters Configuration Menu

To modify any previously created filter rule, click on the note pad icon in the right hand column of the Inbound

Filter or Outbound Filter List for the set you want to configure. The set will appear highlighted in the list and the parameters that have been configured appear in the settings fields above the list. Adjust the settings as desired and click the Apply button to put the new settings into effect.

39


First determine the direction of the traffic you want the rule to filter. To filter WAN to LAN traffic, select the

Inbound Filter option; notice that the Filter List at the bottom of the menu displays the Inbound Filter List. Any new Inbound Filter rules created will appear in the list. Likewise, should you choose to create an Outbound

Filter rule, the Outbound Filter List of rules will appear at the bottom of the menu.

Source Port

Destination Port

Protocol

Action

For an Outbound Filter, this is the IP address or IP addresses on your LAN for which you are creating the filter rule. For an Inbound Filter, this is the IP address or IP addresses for which you are creating the filter rule. You can opt to indicate a Single IP, an IP Range or Any IP from the pull-down menu.

Choosing Any IP will apply the rule to all WAN or all LAN IP addresses depending on which type of rule (Inbound or Outbound) is being configured.

Where the Destination IP address resides also depends on if you are configuring an Inbound or Outbound filter rule. You can opt to indicate a

Single IP, an IP Range or Any IP from the pull-down menu.

The Source Port is the TCP/UDP port on either the LAN or WAN depending on if you are configuring an Outbound or Inbound Filter rule. Select one of the following options from the pull-down menu to define a Single Port, Range of

Ports, Any Port or Safe Ports (ports above 1024).

The Destination Port is the TCP/UDP port on either the LAN or WAN depending on if you are configuring an Outbound or Inbound Filter rule.

Select one of the following options from the pull-down menu to define a Single

Port, Range of Ports, Any Port or Safe Ports (ports above 1024).

Select the transport protocol (TCP, UDP or All) that will be used for the filter rule.

Select to Allow or Deny transport of the data packets according to the criteria defined in the rule. Packets that are allowed are routed to their destination; packets that are denied are blocked.

Click the Apply button to put the new rule into effect. Any filter rule configured in the menu will appear in the

Outbound or Inbound Filters List with the new settings. The Router must save the new settings and reboot before the new rules are applied.

Firewall

The Firewall Configuration menu allows the Router to enforce specific predefined policies intended to protect against certain common types of attacks. There are two general types of protection that can be enabled on the

Router, as well as filtering for specific packet types sometimes used by hackers.

Figure 4- 5. Firewall Configuration Menu

Under Protection Policy you can choose to Enable or Disable protection against a basket of attack and scan types included as Attack Protection. When Attack Protection is enabled, it will create a firewall policy to protect your network against the following attack types and port scans:

Ping of Death Attack

Tear Drop Attack

IP Spoofing Attack

Smurf Attack

Land Attack

Fragmentation Scan

UDP Scan

ICMP Scan

TCP Session Scan

Xmas Scan

Null Scan

RST Scan

SYNACK Scan

FIN Scan

ACK Scan

You can also choose to Enable or Disable protection against various denial-of-service type attacks with the

DOS Protection option.

A "denial-of-service" attack is characterized by an explicit attempt by attackers to prevent legitimate users of a service from using that service. Examples include: attempts to "flood" a network, thereby preventing legitimate network traffic, attempts to disrupt connections between two machines, thereby preventing access to a service, attempts to prevent a particular individual from accessing a service, or, attempts to disrupt service to a specific system or person.

The Service Filtering options allow you to block FTP, Telnet or response to Pings from the external network.

Check the category you want to block to enable filtering of that type of packet.

When you have selected the desired Firewall policies, click the Apply button to enforce the policies. Remember to save any configuration changes.

Static Routing

Use the Static Routing Table to specify a route used for data traffic within your Ethernet LAN or to route data on the WAN. This is used to specify that all packets destined for a particular network or subnet use a predetermined gateway. If the DSL-500G is the only routing device on your network and the only gateway to the Internet, you do not need to use static routing. However, for particular networking arrangements it may be desirable. For example, if you are using another router, Layer 3 switch or similar gateway device on your LAN; or if you have setup a VPN tunnel to a remote LAN with its own gateway device, you may need to use this feature.

Figure 4-6. Static Routing menu

To add a static route to a specific destination IP address, enter a Destination IP address, Netask, and Gateway

IP address. Click Apply to enter the new static route in the table below. The route becomes active immediately upon creation.

Existing static routes cannot be edited. To remove a static route, click on the trashcan icon for the static route.

Remember to save the configuration changes.

42


RIP

The Router supports RIP v1 and RIP v2 used to share routing tables with other Layer 3 routing devices on your local network or remote LAN. If your network does not employ another IP routing device, it will not be necessary to enable RIP.

Figure 4- 7. RIP menu

RIP can be enabled on any existing WNA or LAN interfaces. It may be specified to receive RIP requests and reply to them, it can be specified to send RIP queries, or to both receive and send RIP packets. Furthermore, the

RIP version can be specified. The table below lists the parameters that can be specified for the pull-down RIP menus. Click the Apply button to setup RIP as specified.

Current RIP configurations cannot be edited. To remove a RIP configuration, click on the trashcan icon for the set. Remember to save the configuration changes.

However it can be changed to any of the recognized standard modulations used for ADSL. Select the Modulation Type from the pull-down menu and click the Apply button to change the modulation.

Figure 4- 8. ADSL Modulation Configuration menu

PPP Settings

When the WAN connection is configured for either PPPoA or PPPoE, you can configure the Router’s PPP session to remain on all the time, or to disconnect after some period of no activity. You may also choose to instruct the Router to connect each time you want to access the WAN or the Internet.

Figure 4- 9. PPP Connection settings menu

If you want the Internet or WAN connection to be available any time a host on your LAN requests access, select the Connect On Demand option and choose an idle time of 0 minutes..

If your ISP account is billed according to the amount of time the Router is connected, choose the Connection

On Demand option and configure the idle time to 1 or more minutes. The idle time tell the Router to disconnect the PPP connection after a period of inactivity. This will discontinue the PPP session and require a few seconds to reconnect when a host requests access to the WAN. Alternatively you can choose the Manual option and use the Connect button to initiate a PPP connection each time you want to use the Router to access the WAN. If you use the Manual option, you must return to this menu and click the Disconnect button to terminate the PPP session.

44


ATM VC

The ATM Virtual Circuit connection menu is used to configure the WAN connection. If you are using multiple

PVCs, you can change the configuration of any PVC in this menu.

This menu can be used as an alternative menu to configure the same settings found on the WAN menu in the

Home directory.

Figure 4- 10. ATM Virtual Circuit configuration menu

To configure an existing PVC configuration set, click the corresponding notepad icon in the right-hand column of the ATM VCs List. The PVCs current settings appear above in the entry fields of the ATM VC Settings menu.

Configure the appropriate settings and click the Apply button to put the new settings into effect.

To create new or additional PVCs, read the section below on Multiple PVCs.

45


Multiple Virtual Connections

The Router supports multiple virtual connections. Up to eight PVCs to eight separate destinations can be created and operated simultaneously utilizing the same bandwidth. Additional PVC connections can be added for various purposes. For example, you may want to establish a private connection to remote office in order to create an extended LAN, or setup a server on a separate connection. Provisioning for additional PVC profiles must be done through your telecommunications services provider. Extended LAN operations employing multiple virtual connections require ADSL routers or modems at the remote site for a successful connection. Contact your ISP or telecommunications service provider if you are interested in setting up multiple virtual connections.

After the necessary arrangements have been made to use the Router with multiple virtual connections, follow the instructions below to setup the Router using the VPI/VCI settings given to you by your server provider.

Configure Multiple PVCs

Additional PVCs can be configured by first accessing the WAN configuration menu in the Home directory.

Figure 4- 11. Select new PVC to configure in the WAN menu

The PVC pull-down menu offers 8 virtual connections available for configuration. The default VC used by the

Router is labeled Pvc0. Any additional connections that are configured must have a VPI/VCI combination that is unique to the Router. These numbers will have been already been established by your service provider on their network.

To add a new virtual connection:

1. Select the new PVC to configure from the pull-down menu.

2. Enter the values for the VPI and VCI given to you by your service provider.

3. To activate the VC, select Enabled from the Virtual Circuit pull-down menu.

4. Configure the WAN Settings and Connection Type as desired.

46


In the example below, a new VC (Pvc1) has been added using the WAN Settings menu. The connection is setup as a bridged connection.

Figure 4- 12. Configure new VC

The new VC appears listed in the ATM VC Setting menu located in the Advanced directory.

Figure 4- 13. New VC listed in ATM VC Settings menu

Any VC may be configured in the ATM VC menu by clicking the notepad icon for the PVC you want to configure. VCs configured with PPP connection types can be further configured in the PPP menu.

Low Pass Filters

Most ADSL clients will be required to install a simple device that prevents the ADSL line from interfering with regular telephone services. These devices are low pass filters and are variously referred to as in-line filters, micro-filters, line splitters or split line filters. They are easy to install and use standard telephone connectors and cable.

For some ADSL clients, a telecommunications technician will be sent to the client’s premises to modify the telephone line, usually at the point where the telephone line enters the building. If a technician has divided or split your telephone line into two separate lines - one for regular telephone service and the other for ADSL – then you do not need to use any type of filter device. Follow the instructions given to you by your ADSL service provider, ISP or telephone company about where and how you should connect the Router to the ADSL line.

In-Line Filters

Two common styles of low pass filters are shown in this section, the first is an in-line filter and is illustrated in

Figure 16 below. In-line filters are easy-to-install, in-line devices, which attach to the telephone cable between the telephone and wall jack.

In-line Filter Installation

Note: Do not install an in-line filter between the Router and the telephone jack. In-line filters are only intended for use with regular telephones, Fax machines and other regular telephone devices.

58


Split Line Filter

If you are instructed to use a split line style filter you must install the device between the Router and the phone jack. Use standard telephone cable with standard RJ-11 connectors. The splitter has three RJ-11 ports used to connect to the wall jack, the Router and if desired, a telephone or telephone device. The connection ports are typically labeled as follows:

Line - This port connects to the wall jack.

ADSL – This port connects to the Router.

Phone – This port connects to a telephone or other telephone device.

The diagram below illustrates the proper use of the split line style filter.
