Installing the 3G Wireless-N Router

Package Contents

The Zoom 3G Wireless-N Router package contains the Zoom 3G Wireless-N Router, an antenna, an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, a 5V 2.0A Power adapter, a stand, this Quick

Start installation manual, and a CD that contains additional documentation and warranty information. If anything is missing or damaged, please contact Zoom

Customer Support or your retailer or distributor.

System Requirements

The Zoom 3G Wireless-N Router works with any compatible 3G USB modem with

Internet service. If you'd like an up-to-date list of modems known to be compatible with the router, please go to www.zoom.com/3Grouter/comp. If you are aware of a 3G modem that is incompatible with the router, please let us know by sending email to [email protected].

The router is set up for use with computers, mobile phones, game stations, and other devices with wireless 802.11n, 802.11g, or 802.11b capability. The router comes set up for wireless with no security. If you need to set up the router for wireless security or for some other reason, you'll need to do the setup with a computer that has an available Ethernet port and a web browser.

Using Your Router with a 3G Modem

1

Attach the antenna by lining it up with the receptacle on the router's back panel and rotating it in a clockwise direction. Once attached, you can move the antenna to optimize wireless LAN signal strength. Putting the antenna in a vertical position normally gives the best performance.

2

Plug your 3G USB modem into the router's USB port on the router's back panel.

Chapter 1. Installing the 3G Wireless-N Router 5

3

Connect the power adapter to the receptor on the router's back panel and plug the other end of the power adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.

6

The WiFi and 3G LEDs on the router's front panel turn on.

A computer, mobile phone, game station, or other device with wireless 802.11n, g, or b capability can access the Internet wirelessly through the 3G router. To make the wireless connection, you must first locate the wireless network connection setup on your device, and then select the

Zoom network. For example, on Windows computers, click the wireless connection icon on the Task Bar, click

Available Wireless Networks, select

Zoom from the list of available wireless networks, and then make the connection.

The router comes set up for wireless with no security. If you want wireless security, you need to set up the 3G router and each device for the security that you want. If you’re experienced with wireless, you can probably do that easily by using the Configuration

Manager, as discussed in Changing the Router's Default Values on page 7.

You can also plug a computer or other device into the router’s LAN port. This is recommended if you’re changing the router’s default values, and sometimes an

Ethernet connection is more convenient or secure than connecting to the router wirelessly. To connect a computer via Ethernet, simply plug the supplied Ethernet cable between the router’s LAN port and your computer’s Ethernet port.

WAN Port LAN Port USB Port RESET Power WPS


7

To test the router when 3G is on, connect a device that has a Web browser to the router using wireless or Ethernet as discussed above. Then check that the device’s

Web browser works. If it doesn’t work, check that the router is on, connected to 3G service via a 3G modem, and connected to your device’s browser via wireless or

Ethernet. If you still have problems connecting, you should run the Setup Wizard that’s

in the router’s Configuration Manager. See Chapter 3 , starting on page 11 for more

information.

Changing the Router's Default Values

Your Zoom 3G Wireless-N Router is preset with default values that meet the needs of most users. However, you can change these settings by using the router's built-in

WDS Configuration

Wired Distribution System (WDS) provides wireless point-to-point bridging and point-to-multipoint bridging. WDS lets you build one or more wireless bridges connecting one network to a second network (“point to point”) or connecting one network to more than one network (“point to multi-point”). You typically use a wireless router such as model 4501 at each end of the wireless bridge. That router can connect to its local area network by means of its Ethernet ports and/or its wireless capability, and it can connect to the remote network by means of its WDS wireless bridge capability.

For point-to-multipoint bridging, a single model 4501 can connect one network to multiple networks, each with its own model 4501.

It’s possible to remove the model 4501 standard antenna and replace it with a directional antenna so that the router’s wireless signal “points at” a remote router. The directional antenna should have a Reverse Polarity SMA Plug to easily connect to the router. If you do this for both routers in a wireless bridge, you can extend the distance covered by that wireless bridge. However, you should only do this if you obey the regulations of the country where the wireless bridge is located. Many countries require you to get regulatory certification for a combination of the wireless router and the particular antenna you want to use.

The Change Password Page

You can use this page to change your login password. To view or change configuration settings, you must enter a password. Your router has a default password (admin) that was set by the factory and that you used to access the

Configuration Manager initially. To safeguard your configuration, particularly if you make changes, we recommend that you change the login password.


Note: If you forget the new password, you won't have access to the Configuration

Manager and will need to,

restore the router to its factory settings thus losing any

changes you made to your router's configuration. To avoid this problem, we recommend that you write the new password and save it in a convenient location.

Configuring Forwarding Rules

Many applications, such as online games, require you to allow access through your firewall to the computers or gaming devices behind your router by opening ports in order to play the online game.

The

Forwarding Rules page provides different methods for allowing access to devices behind your router.

The Virtual Server Page

You can use the

Virtual Server page to configure a virtual server.

Because your router's firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your network, all computers behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you want, you


can make some of them accessible by enabling

Virtual Server mapping.

A virtual server will allow access to your computer on certain ports. A port is like a channel that is used by applications (such as games) to communicate on. For example, the directions for the game you want to play over the Internet might tell you to open port 6000.

• Service Ports

This is the port number you want to allow access to your computer on. To enter multiple ports use the dash format; for example, 2004-2009.

• Server IP

This is the IP Address of the computer or gaming device that you want to allow access to. If you do not know the IP address you can look it up by selecting

Basic Settings > DHCP Server, then clicking on Client List. To make this virtual server permanent, then you should set up a fixed mapping to your computer or gaming device on the

DHCP Server page. Doing this ensures that your computer will keep the same IP address

• Protocol

Select

UDP, TCP, or Both depending on what type of protocol your game or application uses.

• Enable

Click to enable the Virtual Server

• Use Rule#

You can enable your virtual server for certain periods of time by assigning it a

Rule #. You must first set up the appropriate Scheduling Rule. See

The

Schedule Rule and Schedule Rule Setting Pages on page 55 for more

information.

For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.1.5, a Web server (port

80) at 192.168.1.6, and a game at 192.168.1.7, then you need, at minimum, to specify the following mapping.

ID Service Port

1 21

2 80

Server IP

192.168.1.5

Enable

Yes

192.168.1.6 Yes

3 5000 192.168.1.7 Yes

The Port Triggering Page

Port triggering opens an incoming port when your computer is using a specified

outgoing port for specific traffic. This provides a way for you to automate setting up a

Virtual Server with some applications. You can use the

Port Triggering page to configure which packets are allowed access.


• Trigger

The outbound port number used by the application.

• Incoming Ports

When the trigger packet is detected, the inbound packets sent to the specified port numbers are allowed to pass through the firewall.

• Enable

Enables access for the specified application.

• Popular applications

Provides a menu of applications from which to choose. Select an application and click

Copy to to add the application to your list.

Click

Save to store your selections or Undo to remove the entries.


The Miscellaneous Page

The

Miscellaneous Page lets you set up and enable a DMZ Host on your network, and enable

UPnP settings for software and devices. In this way, specific ports can open for incoming traffic that must pass through your firewall.

• Set IP Address of DMZ Host

A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host is a host without the protection of the firewall. It allows a computer or gaming system to be exposed to unrestricted two-way communication for Internet games, video conferencing,

Internet telephony and other special applications. Use caution when using a

DMZ because your firewall no longer protects the computer that is set up as a DMZ.

• UPnP setting

This feature is enabled by default. Games and applications that are UPnP compatible will automatically open ports for you on your router.

Configuring Security Settings

The

Security Setting page lists six configuration menus on the left pane and provides a description of the configuration menus at center.


The Status and Packet Filters Pages

You can use the

Status page and the Packet Filters page to control which packets are allowed or denied access. As shown on the

Status page, Inbound, Outbound, and

Domain filters are disabled, by default.


Filtering Policies

You can select one of the two filtering policies:

• Allow all to pass except those that match the specified rules

• Deny all to pass except those that match the specified rules

Filtering Rules

You can specify eight rules for each direction: inbound or outbound. For each rule, you can define the following:

• Source IP address

• Destination IP address

• Destination Port

• Use Rule#

For the

Source or Destination IP address, you can define a single IP address (4.3.2.1).

An empty field implies any IP address.

For

Destination Port, you can define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999).

No prefix indicates both TCP and UDP are defined. Leaving this empty implies that all port addresses apply.

Each

Rule can be enabled or disabled individually.

You can use packet filters with scheduling rules for more access control flexibility.

The Domain Filters Page

You can use the

Domain Filters page to enable or deny user access to specified URLs.


• Domain Filter Enable

Use to prevent users behind this device from accessing specific URLs. Click the

Enable checkbox to enable the Domain Filter.

• Log attempted URL access

Enable checkbox if you want to log the action when someone attempts to access the specified URLs.

• Privileged IP Addresses Range

Domain filtering rules do not apply to IP addresses in this range.

• Domain Suffix

The suffix of the restricted URL; for example, xxx

.com.

• Action

The action to be taken when a user accesses the restricted domain suffix

URL. Check

Drop to block access. Check Log to record the attempted access.

• Enable

Click the checkbox to enable the filter.

The URL Blocking Page

You can use the

URL Blocking page to block LAN computers from connecting to pre-defined Web sites. The major difference between Domain Filtering and URL

Blocking is that Domain Filtering requires the user to input a suffix whereas URL

Blocking requires the user to input a keyword only. In other words, Domain Filtering can block a specific web site, whereas URL Blocking can block hundreds of web sites by specifying a keyword.

• URL Blocking Enable


Check if you want to enable URL Blocking.

• URL

If any part of the Website's URL matches the pre-defined word, the connection will be blocked. For example, you can use the pre-defined word, sex, to block all websites those URLs contain the pre-defined word, sex.

• Enable

Click the checkbox to enable each rule.

The MAC Address Control Page

You can use the

MAC Address Control page to enable MAC Address Control and to define connection and association rights for clients whose IP and MAC addresses are specified.

• MAC Address Control

Check

Enable to enable MAC Address Control. All of the settings on this page will take effect only if

Enable is checked.

• Connection control
