ADSL network through a twisted-pair phone wire

12

2.4 Hardware installation

This section describes how to connect and configure the ADSL router.

1) Connect the ADSL line

Connect the router directly to the wall jack using the included ADSL

RJ-11 telephone cable.

2) Connect a workstation to the Router's LAN port

Use Ethernet RJ-45 cable to connect computer or expend Ethernet network.

3) Connect the power adapter to the Router

Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of router.

4) Connect all cables to the Network

The procedure for connecting cables differs depending on whether or not your telephone equipment is connected to a POTS splitter. The next section explains ADSL splitter and describes the configuration in networks of ADSL over POTS and ADSL over ISDN.

13

2.5 Splitter Configuration

ADSL splitter builds-on a micro-filter it stops the ADSL signal interfering with the voice part of your phone line. The graph hereunder shows the frequency range that your phone (POTS) and ADSL occupy. Use ADSL splitter to separate the bands for POTS and ADSL and get better communication quality.

POTS Splitter Configuration (ADSL over POTS)

A POTS splitter separates data signals from voice signals on your telephone line. The POTS splitter works by running a separate data line from the voice line, so that the ADSL router has a cable dedicated for data transmission. Figure 2-5.1 and 2-5.2 shows how to connect all cables to the Router.

14

Figure 2-5.1 Router connected through a POTS Splitter

Note: The POTS splitter may also be installed on the outside of the house adjacent to the telephone network interface device (NID).

Figure 2-5.2 Router connected through several micro-filters

15

ISDN Splitter Configuration (ADSL over ISDN)

A ISDN splitter separates ADSL signals from ISDN signals on your ISDN telephone line. The ISDN splitter works by running a separate ADSL line from the ISDN line, so that the ADSL router has a cable dedicated for data transmission. Figure 2-5.3 shows how to connect all cables to the Router.

Chapter 3 Connection

3.1 Determine connection settings

Before configure the router, you need to know the connection information supplied by your ADSL service provider.

3.2 Connecting the Router to network

Unlike a simple hub or switch, the setup of the ADSL Router consists of more than simply plugging everything together. Because the Router acts as a DHCP server, you will have to set some values within the Router and also configure your networked PCs to accept the IP Addresses the Router chooses to assign to them. Generally, there are several different operating modes for your applications. Your ISP will tell you which mode is necessary for your system. The modes available are router, bridge,

PPPoE+NAT and PPPoA+NAT.

3.3 The relative configuration on PC

Please follow the steps instructed below when installing your system for the first time via web console:

1) Shut down the power on everything, including your PCs and ADSL

Router.

17

2) Connect a network cable from one of your PCs' Ethernet ports to the

LAN port on the back of the Router.

3) Connect the power adapter to the Power port on the rear of the Router then connect to a power outlet using the power cord included in the

Router's packaging.

4) Power on one of your PCs. Click the Start button, select Settings and then select Control Panel .

5) Double-click the Network icon.

6) In the Configuration window, highlight the TCP/IP that has been associated with your network card or adapter. (Do NOT configure

TCP/IP Dial-up Adapter.) Click Properties . If the TCP/IP Protocol isn't listed in the Configuration window, install it.

7) Click the IP Address tab. Select “ Obtain an IP address automatically ”.

Click OK .

18

8) Click OK again. Windows may begin copying files to your computer. (In

Windows 98, system will ask you to restart your PC. Click Yes to restart your computer and initiate the new settings.)

25

4.3 Interface Setup

4.3.1 Internet

ATM VC Configuration

Go to Interface Setup Æ Internet . To add or delete ADSL VC configuration, these information provide by

ISP.

26

WAN Configuration

Go to Interface Setup Æ Internet . The router can be connected to your service provider in any of the following ways. Check the radio box of the service provided by your ISP, then the related settings will pop up in this page under Encapsulation . Configure the related settings, then click

SAVE to save it.

Dynamic IP Address : Obtain an IP address automatically from your service provider.

27

Static IP Address : Uses a static IP address. Your service provider gives a static IP address to access Internet services.

28

PPPoE : PPP over Ethernet is a common connection method used for xDSL

PPPoA : PPP over ATM is a common connection method used for xDSL

29

Bridge : Bridge mode is a common connection method used for xDSL modem.

30

Dynamic Routing

Go to Interface Setup Æ Internet to select the Dynamic Route needed.

The dynamic routing feature of the router can be used to allow the router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's layout. The router uses the dynamic RIP protocol. It determines the route that the network packets take based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network regularly.

31

4.3.2 LAN Configuration

Go to Interface Setup Æ LAN . The LAN Settings option enables you to configure the LAN port.

DHCP Relay

DHCP Relay forwards local clients' DHCP requests to WAN site DHCP server. Three settings have to be configured when enabling the function: (1) disable the NAT and run on route mode only; (2) disable the DHCP server on the local network site; (3) make sure the routing table has the correct routing entry.

32

DNS

Go to Interface Æ LAN to enable DHCP server . Then you can set DNS server for the router. A Domain Name system (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If you type a Web address into you browser, a DNS server will find that name in its index and find the matching

IP address.

Most ISPs provide a DNS server for speed and convenience. Since your

Service Provider may connect to the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS server IP addresses are also provided dynamically.

However, if there is a preferred DNS server, you need to specify the IP address of that DNS server in DNS. Select DNS Relay “Use User

Discovered DNS Server Only” then key in the IP address of the DNS

Server in the box.

33

4.3.3 Wireless Settings

Go to Interface Æ Wireless to setup the wireless parameters.

SSID

SSID is the identifier for the network. You can change the SSID. Only devices with the same SSID can interconnect.

Channel ID

The channel number is used for wireless networking. The channel setting of the wireless devices within a network should be the same.

34

Wireless Security

The Authentication type supports “shared key WEP 64bits", "shared key

WEP 128bits”, “WPA-PSK”.

35

4.4 Advanced Setup

4.4.1 Routing Table

Go to Advance Setup Æ Routing to see the Routing Table.

The Routing table allows you to see how many routings are on the network.

It shows the interface information.

36

Static Routing

Go to Advance Setup Æ Routing Æ ADD ROUTE to set up static route features.

The static routing function determines the path that router follows over the network before and after it passes through this router. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through this device.

37

4.4.2 NAT Setting

Go to Advanced Setup Æ NAT to set up the NAT features. Network

Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users at your local site to access the Internet through a single public IP address or multiple public IP addresses. NAT can also prevent hacker attacks by mapping local addresses to public addresses for key services such as the Web or FTP.

38

DMZ Setting

Go to Advanced Setup Æ NAT Æ DMZ to set DMZ parameters.

If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly behind the NAT firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a virtual DMZ Host.

39

Virtual Server

Go to Advanced Setup Æ NAT Æ Virtual Server to set virtual server as needed (known as Port Mapping).

Virtual server opens the port(s) for specified service and maps the port(s) to the private IP address of the server. It allows remote users accessing services such as the Web or FTP at the local site via public IP address. In other words, it redirects the request from Internet to the local server which is configured with private IP address.

Some applications will require a set or a range of ports (example

4000~5000) to a specified local machine to route the packets. The router allows user to configure the needed port mappings to suit such applications.

40

4.4.3 ADSL

Go to Advanced Setup Æ ADSL to set up the ADSL mode and ADSL type.

ISP should provide you the details required.

41

4.4.4 Firewall

Go to Advanced Setup Æ Firewall to enable or disable Firewall feature.

42

4.5 Access Management

4.5.1 ACL

Access Control List (ACL) defines the rule which the user may remote access the route to execute the selected application. Go to Access

Management Æ ACL , it will list that the five applications. With the default

IP 0.0.0.0, any client of LAN site would be allowed to access the router. It means that any access through WAN interface is not allowed.

43

4.5.2 IP Filtering

Go to Access Management Æ Filtering to block some packets form

WAN.

The router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters to reduce the risk of intrusion and defending against a wide array of common hacker attacks.

It will accept up to 12 IP Filter rules to prevent unwanted access from accessing the services of the router.

44

4.5.2 SNMP

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) enables a host computer to access configuration, performance and other system data that resides in a database on the modem. The host computer is called a management station and the modem is called an SNMP agent . The data that can be accessed via SNMP is stored in a Management Information

Database (MIB) on the modem.

Note: Every time you change a setting, you must click APPLY button once to save the setting.

45

4.5.3 UPnP

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP): When a user plugs a device which supports UPnP into the network, the device will configure itself, acquire a

TCP/IP address, and use a discovery protocol based on the Internet's

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to announce its presence on the network to other devices.

You can choose “Activated” or “Deactivated” option from this session.

Auto-Configured (by UPnP Application): Choose “Activated” option to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the router so that they can communicate through the router, for example by using NAT traversal, UPnP applications automatically reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to communicate with another UPnP enabled device; this eliminates the need to manually configure port forwarding for the UPnP enabled application. If you don’t want to make configuration changes through UPnP, just choose “Deactivated” . Click Apply to save the setting to the router.

Note: Every time you change a setting, you must click APPLY button once to save the setting.

46

4.5.4 DDNS

Go to Access Management Æ DDNS to set up your DDNS parameters.

Dynamic DNS (DDNS) allows you to update your dynamic IP address with the dynamic DNS services. So anyone can access your FTP or Web service on your computer using DNS-like address.

47

4.6 Maintenance

4.6.1 Administration

Go to Maintenance Æ Administration to set a new user's name and password to restrict management access to the router.

The default is admin (User's name) and 1234 (Password)

48

4.6.2 Time Zone

Go to Maintenance Æ Time Zone and select system time for your area.

Connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server allows the router to synchronize the system clock to the global Internet.

The synchronized clock in the router is used to record the security log and control client filtering.

49

4.6.3 Firmware Update

Go to Maintenance Æ Firmware to upgrade the firmware. The new firmware for this router can improve functionality and performance.

Enter the path and name of the upgrade file then click the UPGRADE button below. You will be prompted to confirm the upgrade.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode - A cell-based data transfer technique in which channel demand determines packet allocation. ATM offers fast packet technology, real time, demand led switching for efficient use of network resources.

AWG

American Wire Gauge - The measurement of thickness of a wire

Bridge

A device connects two or more physical networks and forwards packets between them. Bridges can usually be made to filter packets, that is, to forward only certain traffic. Related devices are: repeaters which simply forward electrical signals from one cable to the other, and full-fledged routers which make routing decisions based on several criteria.

Broadband

Characteristic of any network multiplexes independent network carriers onto a single cable. Broadband technology allows several networks to coexist on one single cable; traffic from one network does not interfere with traffic from another. Broadcast A packet delivery system where a copy of a

62

given packet is given to all hosts attached to the network. Example:

Ethernet.

CO

Central Office. Refers to equipment located at a Telco or service provider's office.

CPE

Customer Premises Equipment located in a user's premises

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

DHCP is software that automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network. DHCP eliminates having to manually assign permanent IP addresses to every device on your network. DHCP software typically runs in servers and is also found in network devices such as Routers.

DMT

Discrete Multi-Tone frequency signal modulation

Downstream rate

The line rate for return messages or data transfers from the network machine to the user's premises machine.

DSLAM

Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplex

Dynamic IP Addresses

A dynamic IP address is an IP address that is automatically assigned to a client station (computer, printer, etc.) in a TCP/IP network. Dynamic IP addresses are typically assigned by a DHCP server, which can be a computer on the network or another piece of hardware, such as the Router.

A dynamic IP address may change every time your computer connects to the network.

Encapsulation

The technique used by layered protocols in which a layer adds header information to the protocol data unit (PDU) from the layer above. As an example, in Internet terminology, a packet would contain a header from the physical layer, followed by a header from the network layer (IP), followed by a header from the transport layer (TCP), followed by the application protocol data.

Ethernet

63

One of the most common local area network (LAN) wiring schemes,

Ethernet has a transmission rate of 10 Mbps.

FTP

File Transfer Protocol. The Internet protocol (and program) used to transfer files between hosts.

Hop count

A hop count is a measure of distance between two points on the Internet. It is equivalent to the number of gateways that separate the source and destination.

HTML

Hypertext Markup Language - The page-coding language for the World

Wide Web.

HTML browser

A browser used to traverse the Internet, such as Netscape or Microsoft

Internet Explorer.

http

Hypertext Transfer Protocol - The protocol used to carry world-wide-web

(www) traffic between a www browser computer and the www server being accessed.

ICMP

Internet Control Message Protocol - The protocol used to handle errors and control messages at the IP layer. ICMP is actually part of the IP protocol.

Internet address

An IP address is assigned in blocks of numbers to user organizations accessing the Internet. These addresses are established by the United

States Department of Defense's Network Information Center. Duplicate addresses can cause major problems on the network, but the NIC trusts organizations to use individual addresses responsibly. Each address is a

32-bit address in the form of x.x.x.x where x is an eight- bit number from 0 to 255. There are three classes: A, B and C, depending on how many computers on the site are likely to be connected.

Internet Protocol (IP)

The network layer protocol for the Internet protocol suite

64

IP address

The 32-bit address assigned to hosts that want to participate in a TCP/IP

Internet.

ISP

Internet service provider - A company allows home and corporate users to connect to the Internet.

MAC

Media Access Control Layer - A sub-layer of the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of the ISO OSI Model responsible for media control.

MIB

Management Information Base - A collection of objects can be accessed via a network management protocol, such as SNMP and CMIP (Common

Management Information Protocol).

NAT

Network Address Translation - A proposal for IP address reuse, where the local IP address is mapped to a globally unique address.

NVT

Network Virtual Terminal

PAP

Password Authentication Protocol

PORT

The abstraction used by Internet transport protocols to distinguish among multiple simultaneous connections to a single destination host.

POTS

Plain Old Telephone Service - This is the term used to describe basic telephone service.

PPP

Point-to-Point-Protocol - The successor to SLIP, PPP provides router-to-router and host-to-network connections over both synchronous and asynchronous circuits.

PPPoE

PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.

65

Remote server

A network computer allows a user to log on to the network from a distant location.

RFC

Request for Comments - Refers to documents published by the Internet

Engineering Task Force (IETF) proposing standard protocols and procedures for the Internet. RFCs can be found at www.ietf.org..

Route

The route is the path that network traffic takes from its source to its destination. The route a datagram may follow can include many gateways and many physical networks. In the Internet, each datagram is routed separately.

Router

A system responsible for making decisions about which of several paths network (or Internet) traffic will follow. To do this, it uses a routing protocol to gain information about the network and algorithms to choose the best route based on several criteria known as "routing metrics".

Routing table

Information stored within a router that contains network path and status information. It is used to select the most appropriate route to forward information along.

Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

Routers periodically exchange information with one another so that they can determine minimum distance paths between sources and destinations.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol - The network management protocol of choice for TCP/IP-based Internet.

SOCKET

(1) The Berkeley UNIX mechanism for creating a virtual connection between processes.

(2) IBM term for software interfaces that allow two UNIX application programs to talk via TCP/IP protocols.

Spanning-Tree Bridge Protocol (STP)

Spanning-Tree Bridge Protocol (STP) - Part of an IEEE standard. A mechanism for detecting and preventing loops from occurring in a

66

multi-bridged environment. When three or more LAN's segments are connected via bridges, a loop can occur. Because a bridge forwards all packets that are not recognized as being local, therefore some packets may circulate for long periods of time, eventually degrading system performance. This algorithm ensures only one path connects any pair of stations, selecting one bridge as the 'root' bridge, with the highest priority one as identifier, from which all paths should radiate.

Spoofing

A method of fooling network end stations into believing that keep alive signals have come from and returned to the host. Polls are received and returned locally at either end.

Static IP Addresses

A static IP address is an IP address permanently assigned to computer in a

TCP/IP network. Static IP addresses are usually assigned to networked devices that are consistently accessed by multiple users, such as Server

PCs, or printers. If you are using your Router to share your cable or DSL

Internet connection, contact your ISP to see if they have assigned your home a static IP address. You will need that address during your Router's configuration.

Subnet

For routing purposes, IP networks can be divided into logical subnets by using a subnet mask. Values below those of the mask are valid addresses on the subnet.

TCP

Transmission Control Protocol - The major transport protocol in the

Internet suite of protocols provides reliable, connection-oriented full-duplex streams.

TFTP

Trivial File Transfer Protocol - A simple file transfer protocol (a simplified version of FTP) that is often used to boot diskless workstations and other network devices such as routers over a network (typically a LAN).

Telnet

The virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols - Allows users of one host to log into a remote host and act as normal terminal users of that host.

Transparent bridging

The intelligence necessary for making relaying decisions exists in the

67

bridge itself; the bridge is thus transparent to the communicating workstations. It involves frame forwarding, learning workstation addresses and ensuring no topology loops exist (in conjunction with the

Spanning-Tree algorithm).

UDP

User Datagram Protocol - A connectionless transport protocol that runs on top of TCP/IP's IP. UDP, like TCP, uses IP for delivery; however, unlike TCP,

UDP provides for exchange of datagrams without acknowledgments or guaranteed delivery. Best suited for small, independent requests, such as requesting a MIB value from an SNMP agent, in which first setting up a connection would take more time than sending the data.

UNI signaling

User Network Interface signaling for ATM communications.

Virtual Connection (VC)

A link that seems and behaves like a dedicated point-to-point line or a system that delivers packets in sequence, as happens on an actual point-to-point network. In reality, the data is delivered across a network via the most appropriate route. The sending and receiving devices do not have to be aware of the options and the route is chosen only when a message is sent. There is no pre-arrangement, so each virtual connection exists only for the duration of that one transmission.

WAN

Wide area network - A data communications network that spans any distance and is usually provided by a public carrier (such as a telephone company or service provider).
