Advanced Setup register a new MAC address for your account. Register the default MAC address of the Router. Point-to-Point Over Ethernet (PPPoE) Enter the PPPoE User Name and Password assigned by your Service Provider. The Service Name is normally optional, but may be required by some service providers. The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) governs the maximum size of the data packets. Leave this on the default value (1454) unless you have a particular reason to change it.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) can be used to join different physical networks using the Internet as an intermediary. Using the above screen allows client PCs to establish a normal PPTP session and provides hassle-free configuration of the PPTP client on each client PC.
Advanced Setup Static IP Address If your Internet Service Provider has assigned a fixed IP address, enter the assigned address and subnet mask for the Router, then enter the gateway address of your ISP. You may need a fixed address if you want to provide Internet services, such as a web server or FTP server.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router BigPond BigPond is a service provider in Australia that uses a heartbeat system to maintain the Internet connection. Configure the built-in client with your user name, password and service name to get online. Leave the Authentication Service Name as “login-server” for a universal configuration.
Advanced Setup DNS Domain Name Servers map numerical IP addresses to the equivalent domain name (e.g., www.smc.com). Your ISP should provide the IP address of one or more domain name servers. Enter those addresses in this screen.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router LAN • LAN IP – Use the LAN menu to configure the LAN IP address for the Router and to enable the DHCP server for dynamic client address allocation. • Set a period for the lease time if required. For home networks this may be set to Forever, which means there is no time limit on the IP address lease. • IP Address Pool – A dynamic IP address range may be specified (192.168.2.2–254). IP addresses running from 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.
Advanced Setup Wireless To configure the Router as a wireless access point for wireless clients (either stationary or roaming), all you need to do is define the radio channel, the Service Set identifier (SSID), and encryption options. Channel and SSID You must specify a common radio channel and SSID (Service Set ID) to be used by the Router and all of your wireless clients. Be sure you configure all of your clients to the same values. ESSID: The Service Set ID.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router Transmission Rate: Set the rate of data transmitted from the Router. The lower the data rate, the longer the transmission distance. (Default: Fully Automatic.) Channel: The radio channel through which the Router communicates with PCs in its BSS. (Default: 6) Note: The available channel settings are limited by local regulations. Broadcast SSID: Broadcasting the SSID on the wireless network for easy connection with client PCs.
Advanced Setup Encryption If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption. Encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/decryption keys for the Router and all of your wireless clients. You can choose between standard 64-bit or the more robust 128-bit encryption. You may manually enter the keys or automatically generate encryption keys.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router If you use encryption, configure the same keys used for the Router on each of your wireless clients. Note that Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.
Advanced Setup NAT - Network Address Translation From this section you can configure the Address Mapping, Virtual Server, and Special Application features that provide control over the TCP/UDP port openings in the router’s firewall. This section can be used to support several Internet based applications such as web, E-mail, FTP, and Telnet Address Mapping Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal users. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into the Global IP field.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router Virtual Server If you configure the Router as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the Router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).
Advanced Setup Special Applications Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections. These applications cannot work with Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, use the following screen to specify the additional public ports to be opened for each application. Specify the public port number normally associated with an application in the Trigger Port field.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router Example: ID Trigger Port Trigger Type Public Port Public Type Comment 1 6112 UDP 6112 UDP Battle.net 2 28800 TCP 2300-2400, TCP MSN Game Zone 47624 For a full list of ports and the services that run on them, see www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.
Advanced Setup Access Control Using this option allows you to specify different privileges based on IP address for the client PCs.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router Note: 56 Click on Add PC and define the appropriate settings for client PC services (as shown in the following screen).
Advanced Setup MAC Filtering Table The MAC Filtering feature of the Router allows you to control access to your network for up to 32 clients based on the MAC (Media Access Control) Address of the client machine. This ID is unique to each network adapter. If the MAC address is listed in the table, that client machine will have access to the network.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router URL Blocking To configure the URL Blocking feature, use the table below to specify the web sites (www.somesite.com) and/or keywords you want to filter on your network. To complete this configuration, you will need to create or modify an access rule in “Access Control” on page 55. To modify an existing rule, click the Edit option next to the rule you want to modify. To create a new rule, click on the Add PC option.
Advanced Setup Schedule Rule The Schedule Rule feature allows you to configure specific rules based on Time and Date. These rules can then be used to configure more specific Access Control.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router Enables Schedule-based Internet access control. 1. Click Add Schedule Rule. 2. Define the settings for the schedule rule (as shown on the following screen). 3. Click OK and then click the APPLY button to save your settings.
