Chapter 1: Introduction


No Additional Cable Wiring

Users can utilize the existing phoneline network to enjoy ADSL services. Just connect the telephone cable to the router, and you can extend high-speed ADSL applications without extra setting and new wiring. With this plug-and-play device, you don’t need to make extra efforts to rebuild your home network environment. In addition, you can keep your telephone signal and

Ethernet interface with the built-in HPNA connector .

Fast Ethernet Switch

A 4-port 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching between MDI and

MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports. An Ethernet straight or crossover cable can be used directly for auto detection.

Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection

Supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over

ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with the ISP. The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

Quick Installation Wizard

Supports a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, end users can enter the information easily which they get from their ISP, then surf the Internet immediately.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal

This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices and

PCs from many different vendors. It makes network simple and affordable for users. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, users can now connect to Net meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

Allows multi-users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateway (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.

SOHO Firewall Security with DoS and SPI

Along with the built-in NAT natural firewall feature, the router also provides advanced hacker pattern-filtering protection. It can automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

The router is built with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to determine if a data packet is allowed through the firewall to the private LAN.

Domain Name System (DNS) relay

Provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for users such as www.yahoo.com

) and IP address. When local machine sets its DNS server with this router’s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router will be forwarded to the real DNS in the outside network.

Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use the service, you must first apply for an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/ . More than 5 DDNS servers are supported.

Quality of Service (QoS)

QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the

4



router, ensuring important data like gaming packets, customer information, or management information move through the router ay lightning speed, even under heavy load. The QoS features are configurable by source IP address, destination IP address, protocol, and port. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router, to ensure P2P users don’t saturate upload bandwidth, or office browsing doesn’t bring client web serving to a halt. In addition, or alternatively, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds.

Virtual Server (“port forwarding”)

Users can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect incoming service requests and forward either a single port or a range of ports to the specific local computer to handle it. For example, a user can assign a PC in the LAN acting as a WEB server inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside web servers directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the outside network, Internet.

Rich Packet Filtering

Not only filters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will filter packets from and to the Internet, and also provides a higher level of security control.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client and server

In the WAN site, the DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate a range of client IP addresses and distribute them including IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP address to local computers. It provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.

Static and RIP1/2 Routing

Supports an easy static routing table or RIP1/2 routing protocol to support routing capability.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP.

Web based GUI

Supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with online help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and manage this product.

Firmware Upgradeable

Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.

Rich management interfaces

Supports flexible management interfaces with local console port, LAN port, HPNA port and WAN port. Users can use terminal applications through the console port to configure and manage the device, or Telnet, WEB GUI, and SNMP through LAN or WAN ports to configure and manage the device.

Cabling

One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the

HomePNA, LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables.

Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation

The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me, etc. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.

PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default

IP address of the router is

192.168.1.254

and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0

(i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using

DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it may also be advisable to

uninstall

any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the

192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect their network.

Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.

Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through the router. To configure other types of workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.

Wireless Security

You can disable or enable with WPA or WEP for protecting wireless network.

The default mode of wireless security is

disabled

.

WPA Pre-Shared Key

WPA Algorithms:

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) utilizes a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers.

WPA Shared Key:

The key for network authentication. The input format is in character style and key size should be in the range between 8 and 63 characters.

Group Key Renewal:

The period of renewal time for changing the security key automatically between wireless client and Access Point (AP). Default value is

600

seconds.

Idle Timeout:

The default idle timeout is

3600

seconds. A Timeout value base on the case of no data traffic is send or received. If Router detects no traffic in the wireless, it will start timing the clock and drop the session as it reaches to the defined timeout value. New session will be reestablished after the old session.


34

WEP


WEP Encryption:

To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the router offers highly secure data encryption, known as WEP. If you require high security for transmissions, there are two alternatives to select from:

WEP 64 and WEP 128

. WEP

128 will offer increased security over WEP 64.

Passphrase:

This is used to generate WEP keys automatically based upon the input string and a pre-defined algorithm in WEP64 or WEP128. You can input the same string in both the AP and

Client card settings to generate the same WEP keys. Please note that you do not have to enter

Key (0-3)

as below when the

Passphrase

is enabled.

Default Used WEP Key:

Select the encryption key ID; please refer to

Key (0-3)

below.

Key (0-3):

Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission, the WEP

Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router. There are four keys for your selection. The input format is in HEX style, 5 and 13 HEX codes are required for WEP64 and WEP128 respectively, the separator is “-“. For example, using WEP64, 11-22-33-44-55 is a valid key, whilst 1122334455 is invalid.

Associate Wireless Client displays a list of individual wireless device’s MAC Address that currently connects to the router.

You can easily by checking the box next to the MAC address to be blocked or allowed. Then,

Add

to insert to the Wireless Client (MAC Address) Filter table. The maximum Ethernet client is 16.

Port Setting

This section allows you to configure the settings for the router’s Ethernet ports to solve some of the compatibility problems that may be encountered while connecting to the Internet, as well allowing users to tweak the performance of their network.

Port # Connection Type:

Five options to choose from: Auto, 10M half-duplex, 10M full-duplex,

100M half-duplex or 100M full-duplex. Sometimes, there are Ethernet compatibility problems with legacy Ethernet devices, and you can configure different types to solve compatibility issues. The default is

Auto

, which users should keep unless there are specific problems with PCs not being able to access your LAN.

IPv4 TOS priority Control (Advanced users):

TOS, Type of Services, is the 2 nd

octet of an IP packet. Bits 6-7 of this octet are reserved and bit 0-5 are used to specify the priority of the packet.

This feature uses bits 0-5 to classify the packet’s priority. If the packet is high priority, it will flow first and will not be constrained by the Rate Limit. Therefore, when this feature is enabled, the router’s

Ethernet switch will check the 2 nd

octet of each IP packet. If the value in the TOS field matches the checked values in the table (0 to 63), this packet will be treated as high priority.


37


HomePNA

HomePNA interface can be enabled or disabled. Also can “Reset” HomePNA interface.

DHCP Server

You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or enable the router’s DHCP relay functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to dynamically assign IP addresses to PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP addresses automatically.

To disable the router’s DHCP Server, check

Disabled

and click

Next,

then click

Apply.

When the

DHCP Server is disabled you will need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each PCs on your network, and set the default gateway for each PCs to the IP address of the router (by default this is

192.168.1.254).

To configure the router’s DHCP Server, check

DHCP Server

and click

Next

. You can then configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and ending IP address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP address (the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the gateway IP address.

38



These details are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from the

DHCP server. Click

Apply

to enable this function. If you check “

Use Router as a DNS Server

”, the ADSL Router will perform the domain name lookup, find the IP address from the outside network automatically and forward it back to the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area

Network).

If you check

DHCP Relay Agent

and click

Next

, then you will have to enter the IP address of the

DHCP server which will assign an IP address back to the DHCP client in the LAN. Use this function only if advised to do so by your network administrator or ISP.

Click

Apply

to enable this function.


39


WAN (Wide Area Network)

WAN refers to your Wide Area Network connection, i.e. your router’s connection to your ISP and the

Internet. There are two items within the

WAN

section:

ISP

,

DNS

and

ADSL

.

ISP

The factory default is PPPoE. If your ISP uses this access protocol, click

Edit

to input other parameters as below. If your ISP does not use PPPoE, you can change the default WAN connection entry by clicking

DNS

A Domain Name System (DNS) contains a mapping table for domain name and IP addresses. On the Internet, every host has a unique and user-friendly name (domain name) such as www.helloworld.com and an IP address. An IP address is a 32-bit number in the form of

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

, for example 192.168.1.254. You can think of an IP address as a telephone number for devices on the Internet, and the DNS will allow you to find the telephone number for any particular domain name. As an IP Address is hard to remember, the DNS converts the friendly name into its equivalent IP Address.

You can obtain a Domain Name System (DNS) IP address automatically if your ISP has provided it when you logon, check the

Enable

box. Usually when you choose PPPoE or PPPoA as your WAN

- ISP protocol, the ISP will provide the DNS IP address automatically. You may leave the configuration field blank.

Alternatively, your ISP may provide you with an IP address of their DNS. If this is the case, you must enter the DNS IP address manually.

If you choose one of the other three protocols - RFC1483 Routed/Bridged and IPoA check with your ISP, it may provide you with an IP address for their DNS server. You must enter the DNS IP address if you set the DNS of your PC to the LAN IP address of this router.

System

There are six items within the

System

section:

Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware Upgrade,

Backup/Restore, Restart

and

User Management.

Time Zone

The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time

Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone, click

Enable

and click the

Apply

button. After a successful connection to the

Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use.

Daylight Saving

is also known as

Summer Time Period.

Many places in the world adapt it during summer time to move one hour of daylight from morning to the evening in local standard time.

Check

Automatic

box to auto set your local time.

Resync Period

(in minutes) is the periodic interval the router will wait before it re-synchronizes the router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. In order to avoid unnecessarily increasing the load on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the absolute minimum every few hours or even days.


52


Remote Access

To temporarily permit remote administration of the router (i.e. from outside your LAN), select a time period the router will permit remote access for and click

Enable.

You may change other configuration options for the web administration interface using

Device Management

options in the

Advanced

section of the GUI.

If you wish to permanently enable remote access, choose a time period of 0 minutes. This setting cannot be saved into flash when timer set to zero.

Firmware Upgrade

Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its functionality.

Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software it runs. Over time this software may be improved and modified, and your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes.

Clicking on

Browse

will allow you to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded to your PC. Once the correct file is selected, click Upgrade to update the firmware in your router.

Warning

Backup / Restore

DO NOT power down the router or interrupt the firmware upgrading while it is still in process. Improper operation could damage the router.


54


These functions allow you to save and backup your router’s current settings to a file on your PC, or to restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes. It is advisable to backup your router’s settings before making any significant changes to your router’s configuration.

Press

Backup

to select where on your local PC to save the settings file. You may also change the name of the file when saving if you wish to keep multiple backups.

Press

Browse

to select a file from your PC to restore. You should only restore settings files that have been generated by the Backup function, and that were created when using the

current version

of the router’s firmware.

Settings files saved to your PC should not be manually edited in any way.

After selecting the settings file you wish to use, pressing

Restore

will load those settings into the router.


55


Restart Router

Click

Restart

with option

Current Settings

to reboot your router (and restore your last saved configuration).

If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select

Factory Default Settings

to reset to factory default settings.

You may also reset your router to factory settings by holding the small Reset pinhole button on the back of your router in for 10-12 seconds whilst the router is turned on.

56



User Management

In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router’s configuration interface, it requires all users to login with a password. You can set up multiple user accounts, each with their own password.

You are able to

Edit

existing users and

Create

new users who are able to access the device’s configuration interface. Once you have clicked on

Edit,

you are shown the following options:

You can change the user’s

password

, whether their account is active and

Valid

, as well as add a comment to each user account. These options are the same when creating a user account, with the exception that once created you cannot change the username. You cannot delete the default admin account, however you can delete any other created accounts by clicking

Delete

when editing the user.

You are strongly advised to change the password on the default “

admin

” account when you receive your router, and any time you reset your configuration to Factory Defaults.

57



Firewall and Access Control

Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT

(Network Address Translation. Please see the

WAN

configuration section for more details on NAT) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, as all PCs on your LAN will use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.

Firewall

: Prevents access from outside your network. The router provides three levels of security support:

NAT natural firewall

: This masks LAN users’ IP addresses which are invisible to outside users on the

Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural firewall is on when NAT function is enabled.

When using Virtual Servers your PCs will be exposed to the degree specified in your Virtual Server settings provided the ports specified are opened in your firewall packet filter settings.

Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings)

: Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules to prevent unauthorized computers or applications accessing your local network from the Internet.

Intrusion Detection

: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent and log malicious attacks.

Access Control

: Prevents access from PCs on your local network:

Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings)

: Outbound direction of Packet Filter rules to prevent unauthorized computers or applications accessing the Internet.

URL Filter

: To block PCs on your local network from unwanted websites.

You can find six items under the

Firewall

section:

General Settings, Packet Filter, Intrusion Detection,

URL Filter

and

Firewall Log.

58



General Settings

You can choose not to enable Firewall, to add all filter rules by yourself, or enable the Firewall using preset filter rules and modify the port filter rules as required. The Packet Filter is used to filter packets based-on Applications (Port) or IP addresses.

There are four options when you enable the Firewall, they are:

¤

All blocked/User-defined

: no pre-defined port or address filter rules by default, meaning that all inbound (Internet to LAN) and outbound (LAN to Internet) packets will be blocked. Users have to add their own filter rules for further access to the Internet.

¤

High/Medium/Low security level:

the predefined port filter rules for High, Medium and Low security are displayed in Port Filters of Packet Filter.

Select either

High, Medium

or

Low security level

to enable the Firewall. The only difference between these three security levels is the preset port filter rules in the Packet Filter. Firewall functionality is the same for all levels; it is only the list of preset port filters that changes between each setting. For more detailed on level of preset port filter information, refer to

Table 1:

Predefined Port Filter

.

If you choose of the preset security levels and then add custom filters, you may temporarily disable the firewall and recover your custom filter settings by re-selecting the same security level.

The “

Block WAN Request

” is a stand-alone function and not relate to whether security enable or disable. Mostly it is for preventing any scan tools from WAN site by hacker.

Any remote user who is attempting to perform this action may result in blocking all the accesses to configure and manage of the device from the Internet.


59


Packet Filter

This function is only available when the Firewall is enabled and one of these four security levels is chosen (All blocked, High, Medium and Low). The predefined port filter rules in the Packet Filter must modify accordingly to the level of Firewall, which is selected. See

Table1: Predefined Port

Filter

for more detailed information.


60


Example: Predefined Port Filters Rules

The predefined port filter rules for High, Medium and Low security levels are listed. See Table 1.

Example: Configuring your firewall to allow for a publicly accessible web server on your LAN

The predefined port filter rule for HTTP (TCP port 80) is the same no matter whether the firewall is set to a high, medium or low security level. To setup a web server located on the local network when the firewall is enabled, you have to configure the Port Filters setting for HTTP.

As you can see from the diagram below, when the firewall is enabled with one of the three presets

(Low/Medium/High), inbound HTTP access is not allowed which means remote access through HTTP to your router is not allowed.

(Note: Inbound indicates accessing from Internet to LAN and Outbound is from LAN to the Internet)


64


Configuring Packet Filter:

1. Click

The router’s

Intrusion Detection System

(IDS) is used to detect hacker attacks and intrusion attempts from the Internet. If the IDS function of the firewall is enabled, inbound packets are filtered and blocked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks, intrusion attempts or other connections that the router determines to be suspicious.

Blacklist

: If the router detects a possible attack, the source IP or destination IP address will be added to the Blacklist. Any further attempts using this IP address will be blocked for the time period specified as the

Block Duration

. The default setting for this function is false (disabled). Some attack types are denied immediately without using the Blacklist function, such as

Land attack

and

Echo/CharGen scan

.


: If enabled, IDS will block Smurf attack attempts. Default is false.

Block Duration:

¤

Victim Protection Block Duration

: This is the duration for blocking

Smurf

attacks.

Default value is 600 seconds.

¤

Scan Attack Block Duration

: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible Scan attack. Scan attack types include

X’mas scan, IMAP SYN/FIN scan

and similar attempts. Default value is 86400 seconds.

¤

DoS Attack Block Duration

: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Possible DoS attacks this attempts to block include

Ascend Kill

and

WinNuke

. Default value is 1800 seconds.

Max TCP Open Handshaking Count

: This is a threshold value to decide whether a

SYN Flood

attempt is occurring or not. Default value is 100 TCP SYN per seconds.

Max PING Count

: This is a threshold value to decide whether an

ICMP Echo Storm

is occurring or not.

Default value is 15 ICMP Echo Requests (PING) per second.

Max ICMP Count

: This is a threshold to decide whether an

ICMP flood

is occurring or not. Default value is 100 ICMP packets per seconds except ICMP Echo Requests (PING).

URL Filter

URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com

or http://www.example.com

) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites by their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements.

Enable/Disable:

To enable or disable URL Filter feature.

Block Mode:

A list of the modes that you can choose to check the URL filter rules.

The default is set to

Disabled.

¤

Disabled:

No action will be performed by the Block Mode.

¤

Always On:

Action is enabled. URL filter rules will be monitoring and checking at all hours of the day.

¤

TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16:

It is self-defined time period. You may specify the time period to check the URL filter rules, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to

Time

Schedule

section.

Keywords Filtering:

Allows blocking by specific keywords within a particular URL rather than having to specify a complete URL (e.g. to block any image called “advertisement.gif”). When enabled, your specified keywords list will be checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Please note that the URL filter blocks web browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only.

For example, if the URL is http://www.abc.com/abcde.html

, it will be dropped as the keyword

69


“abcde” occurs in the URL.


Domains Filtering: This function checks the domain name only, not the IP address, in URLs accessed against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will be sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). For this function to be activated, both checkboxes must be checked . The checking procedure is:

1. Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the connection attempt is sent to the remote web server.

2. If not, check if it is listed in the forbidden list, and if present then the connection attempt is dropped.

3. If the packet does not match either of the above two items, it is sent to the remote web server.

4. Please be note that the domain only should be specified, not the full URL. For example to block traffic to www.sex.com

, enter “sex” or “sex.com” instead of “www.sex.com”. In the example below, the URL request for www.abc.com

will be sent to the remote web server because it is listed in the trusted list, whilst the URL request for www.sex

or www.sex.com

will be dropped, because sex.com is in the forbidden list.

Restrict URL Features:

This function enhances the restriction to your URL rules.


70


Example:

Andy wishes to disable all WEB traffic except for ones listed in the trusted domain, which would prevent Bobby from accessing other web sites.

Andy selects both functions in the

Domain Filtering

and thinks that it will stop Bobby. But Bobby knows this function,

Domain Filtering

, ONLY disables all WEB traffic except for

Trusted Domain,

BUT not its

IP address.

If this is the situation,

Block surfing by IP address

function can be handy and helpful to Andy. Now, Andy can prevent Bobby from accessing other sites.

¤

Block Java Applet: This function can block Web content that includes the Java Applet. It is to prevent someone who wants to damage your system via standard HTTP protocol.

¤

Block surfing by IP address: Preventing someone who uses the IP address as URL for skipping Domains Filtering function. Activates only and if

Domain Filtering

enabled.

QoS (Quality of Service)

QoS function helps you to control your network traffic for each application from LAN (Ethernet and/or

Wireless) to WAN (Internet). It facilitates you to control the different quality and speed of through put for each application when the system is running with full loading of upstream.

You can find three items under the

QoS

section:

Mostly the VPN connection is mission-critical application for doing data exchange between head and branch office.

The mission-critical application must be sent out smoothly without any dropping. Set priority as high level for preventing any other applications to saturate the bandwidth.

Voice application

Voice is latency-sensitive application. Most VoIP devices are use SIP protocol and the port number will be assigned by SIP module automatically. Better to use fixed IP address for catching VoIP packets as high priority.

Above settings will help to improve quality of your VoIP service when traffic is full loading.

Restricted Application

Some of companies will setup FTP server for customer downloading or home user sharing their files by using FTP.

With above settings that help to limit utilization of upstream of FTP. Time schedule also help you to only limit utilization at daytime.

Advanced setting by using IP throttling

With IP throttling you can specify more detail for allocating bandwidth; even the applications are located

79


in the same level.

Upstream: 928kbps (29*32kbps)

Mission-critical Application: 192kbps (6*32kbps)

Voice Application: 128kbps (4*32kbps)

Restricted Application: 160kbps (5*32kbps)

Other Applications: 448kbps (14*32kbps)

6+4+14+5=29, 29*32kbps=928kbps


Sometime your customers or friends may upload their files to your FTP server and that will saturate your downstream bandwidth. The settings below help you to limit bandwidth for the restricted application.

Virtual Server (“Port Forwarding”)

In TCP/IP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program

(usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-

80



assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as

“well-known ports”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can locate them.

If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e. from other machines on the Internet that are outside your local network), or any application that can accept incoming connections (e.g. Peer-to-peer/P2P software such as instant messaging applications and P2P file-sharing applications) and are using NAT (Network Address Translation), then you will usually need to configure your router to forward these incoming connection attempts using specific ports to the PC on your network running the application. You will also need to use port forwarding if you want to host an online game server.

The reason for this is that when using NAT, your publicly accessible IP address will be used by and point to your router, which then needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by your PCs.

Please see the

WAN

configuration section of this manual for more information on NAT.

The device can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP services via the public (WAN) IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the

LAN network. Depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the device redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network

Add Virtual Server

Because NAT can act as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from being accessed by outside users when using NAT, as all incoming connection attempts will point to your router unless you specifically create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your

81



network.

When your router needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g. a web server, FTP server, Email server or game server, the router can act as a “virtual server”. You can set up a local server with a specific port number for the service to use, e.g. web/HTTP (port 80), FTP (port 21),

Telnet (port 23), SMTP (port 25), or POP3 (port 110), When an incoming access request to the router for a specified port is received, it will be forwarded to the corresponding internal server.

Time Schedule:

A self-defined time period to enable your virtual server. You may specify a time schedule or Always on for the usage of this Virtual Server Entry. For setup and detail, refer to

Application, Protocol and External/Redirect Ports will be filled after the selection.

Protocol

: It is the supported protocol for the virtual server. In addition to specifying the port number to be used, you will also need to specify the protocol used. The protocol used is determined by the particular application. Most applications will use TCP or UDP.

External Port:

The Port number on the Remote/WAN side used when accessing the virtual server.

Redirect Port:

The Port number used by the Local server in the LAN network.

Internal IP Address:

The private IP in the LAN network, which will be providing the virtual server application. List all existing PCs connecting to the network. You may assign a PC with IP address and MAC from this list.

Example:

82



If you like to remote accessing your Router through the Web/HTTP at all time, you would need to enable port number 80 (Web/HTTP) and map to Router’s IP Address. Then all incoming HTTP requests from you (Remote side) will be forwarded to the Router with IP address of 192.168.1.254.

Using port forwarding does have security implications, as outside users will be able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific

Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires, instead of using

DMZ. As doing so will result in all connections from the WAN attempt to access to your public IP of the DMZ PC specified.

Attention

If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server function will hence be invalid.

If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router.

Edit DMZ Host

The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets will be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms then passed to the DMZ host, when a packet received does not use a port number used by any other Virtual Server entries.

Time Schedule

The Time Schedule supports up to 16 time slots which helps you to manage your Internet connection. In

87



each time profile, you may schedule specific day(s) i.e. Monday through Sunday to restrict or allowing the usage of the Internet by users or applications.

This Time Schedule correlates closely with router’s time, since router does not have a real time clock on board; it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server from the Internet. Refer to

Time Zone

for details. You router time should correspond with your local time.

If the time is not set correctly, your Time Schedule will not function properly.

This is the same meaning as Hop. This should usually be left at 1.


90


Dynamic DNS

The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP.

You will first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/

There are more than 5 DDNS services supported.

¤

Disable:

Check to disable the Dynamic DNS function.

¤

Enable:

Check to enable the Dynamic DNS function. The following fields will be activated and required:

Dynamic DNS Server:

Select the DDNS service you have established an account with.

Domain Name, Username and Password:

Enter your registered domain name and your username and password for this service.

Period:

Set the time period between updates, for the Router to exchange information with the

DDNS server. In addition to updating periodically as per your settings, the router will perform an update when your dynamic IP address changes.

Via WAN Interface:

Decide which WAN interface you want to use for sending DDNS request.


91


Check Email

This function allows you to have the router check your POP3 mailbox for new Email messages.

The

Mail

LED on your router will light when it detects new messages waiting for download. You may also view the status of this function using the

Status – Email Checking

section of the web interface, which also provides details on the number of new messages waiting. See the

Status

section of this manual for more information.

¤

Disable:

Check to disable the router’s Email checking function.

¤

Enable:

Check to enable the routers Emailing checking function. The following fields will be activated and required:

Account Name:

Enter the name (login) of the POP3 account you wish to check.. Normally, it is the text in your email address before the "@" symbol. If you have trouble with it, please contact your

ISP.

Password:

Enter the account’s password.

POP3 Mail Server:

Enter your (POP) mail server name. You Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network administrator will be able to supply you with this.

Interval:

Enter the value in minutes between periodic mail checks.

Automatically dial-out for checking emails:

When the function is enabled, your ADSL router will connect to your ISP automatically to check emails if your Internet connection dropped. Please be careful when using this feature if your ADSL service is charged by time online.


92



The Device Management advanced configuration settings allow you to control your router’s security options and device monitoring features.

Embedded Web Server

HTTP Port:

This is the port number the router’s embedded web server (for web-based configuration) will use. The default value is the standard HTTP port, 80. Users may specify an alternative if, for example, they are running a web server on a PC within their LAN.

Management IP Address:

You may specify an IP address allowed to logon and access the router’s web server. Setting the IP address to 0.0.0.0 will disable IP address restrictions, allowing users to login from any IP address.

Expire to auto-logout:

Specify a time frame for the system to auto-logout the user’s configuration session.

For Example:

User A changes HTTP port number to

100

, specifies their own IP address of

192.168.1.55

, and sets the logout time to be

100

seconds. The router will only allow User A access from the IP address

192.168.1.55

to logon to the Web GUI by typing: http://

192.168.1.254:100

in their web browser. After 100 seconds, the device will automatically logout User A.

93



Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.

Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition to the router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when the component is installed), and Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing client from

Windows XP in order to support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.

¤

Disable:

Check to disable the router’s UPnP functionality.

¤

Enable:

Check to enable the router’s UPnP functionality.

UPnP Port:

Its default setting is 2800. It is highly recommended for users to use this port value. If this value conflicts with other ports already being used you may wish to change the port.

SNMP Access Control

(Software on a PC within the LAN is required in order to utilize this function) –

Simple Network Management Protocol.

SNMP V1 and V2:

Read Community:

Specify a name to be identified as the Read Community, and an IP address.

This community string will be checked against the string entered in the configuration file. Once the string name is matched, user obtains this IP address will be able to view the data.

Write Community:

Specify a name to be identified as the Write Community, and an IP address.

This community string will be checked against the string entered in the configuration file. Once the string name is matched, users from this IP address will be able to view and modify the data.

Trap Community:

Specify a name to be identified as the Trap Community, and an IP address.

This community string will be checked against the string entered in the configuration file. Once the string name is matched, users from this IP address will be sent SNMP Traps.

SNMP V3:

Specify a name and password for authentication. And define the access right from identified IP address. Once the authentication has succeeded, users from this IP address will be able to view and modify the data.

SNMP Version: SNMPv2c and SNMPv3

SNMPv2c is the combination of the enhanced protocol features of SNMPv2 without the SNMPv2 security. The "c" comes from the fact that SNMPv2c uses the SNMPv1 community string paradigm for "security", but is widely accepted as the SNMPv2 standard.

SNMPv3 is a strong authentication mechanism, authorization with fine granularity for remote monitoring.

Traps supported: Cold Start, Authentication Failure.
