CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.1 Content Filtering You have two main options for filtering content in a network created through your IBR600. 1) Domain / URL Filter Rules: Create a list of websites that will be either disallowed (facebook.com, for example) or allowed exclusively (your company‘s website, for example). 2) OpenDNS Content Filtering: Allows several options for filtering rules. To create Domain / URL Filter Rules, simply input one or more website domain names or URLs.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.1.1 OpenDNS OpenDNS is a service that protects you online by filtering websites. OpenDNS protects you from phishing websites and URL typos once you select a filtering level. None: Disables Web filtering that uses OpenDNS, Minimal: Filters phishing and URL typos. Good: Filters any Web site containing pornography and enables typo and phishing redirection. Better: Filters more nudity, sexuality, and tasteless content.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 OpenDNS network. In order for Custom settings to work you need to login to DNS-O-MATIC using your OpenDNS credentials and "Add A Service" for the network specified above. Enable OpenDNS ISP Filter Bypass Algorithm: It is possible that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses the port that OpenDNS is configured to access, port 53, which will prevent OpenDNS filtering.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.2 DHCP Server (Advanced Mode only) DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The built-in DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to the computers and other devices on each local area network (LAN). In this section you can view a list of assigned IP addresses and reserve IP addresses for particular devices. Active Leases: A list of devices that have been provided DHCP leases. The DHCP server automatically assigns these leases.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.3 DNS (Advanced Mode only) DNS, or Domain Name System, is a naming system that translates between domain names (www.cradlepoint.com, for example) and internet IP addresses (206.207.82.197). A DNS server acts as an internet phone book, translating between names that make sense to people and the more complex numerical identifiers.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.3.2 Dynamic DNS Configuration The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, etc.) using a domain name that you have purchased (www.yourname.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses. When you use a Dynamic DNS service provider, you can enter your host name to connect to your server, no matter what your IP address is.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.3.3 Advanced Dynamic DNS Settings Update period (hours). (Default: 576.) The time between periodic updates to the Dynamic DNS if your dynamic IP address has not changed. The timeout period is entered in hours so valid values are from 1 to 8760. Override External IP. The external IP is usually configured automatically during connection.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.4 Firewall (Advanced Mode only) The router automatically provides a firewall. Unless you configure the router to the contrary, the router does not respond to unsolicited incoming requests on any port, thereby making your LAN invisible to cyber attackers. However, some network applications cannot run with a tight firewall. Those applications need to selectively open ports in the firewall to function correctly.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 Add New Port Forwarding Rule: page 2 Use Port Range: Changes the selection options to allow you to input a range of ports (if desired). Internet Port(s): The port number(s) as you want it defined on the internet. Typically these will be the same as the local port numbers, but they do not have to be. These numbers will be mapped to the local port numbers.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.4.2 IP Filter Rules An "Incoming" IP filter rule restricts remote access to computers on your local network. "Outgoing" filter rules prevent computers on your local network from initiating communication to the address range specified in the rule. This feature is especially useful when combined with port forwarding and/or DMZ to restrict remote access to a specified host or network range.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 Start Port: 80 End Port: 80 Network Address: 172.22.24.160 (Johnny‘s IP address) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255 (This subnet mask restricts the rule to one single address). © 2011 CRADLEPOINT, INC. PLEASE VISIT HTTP://KNOWLEDGEBASE.CRADLEPOINT.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.4.3 DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) A DMZ host is effectively not firewalled in the sense that any computer on the internet may attempt to remotely access network services at the DMZ IP address. Typical uses involve running a public Web server or sharing files. Input the IP Address of a single device in your network to create a DeMilitarized Zone for that device.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.5 MAC Filter The MAC Filter allows you to create a list of devices that have either exclusive access (whitelist) or no access (blacklist) to your wireless LAN. Enabled: Click to allow MAC Filter options. Whitelist: Select either ―Whitelist‖ or ―Blacklist‖ from a dropdown list. By default, the list of addresses is designated a ―white list.‖ Deselecting White List turns the list of addresses into a disallowed black list.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.6 Routing (Advanced Mode only) Add a new static route to the IP routing table or edit/remove an existing route. Static routes are unnecessary for most users. They are typically only used in networks with more than one layer, such as when there is a network within a network so that packet destinations are hidden behind an additional router.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.7 WiFi / Local Networks This section is used to configure the settings for wireless networks created by your router. Note that changes made in this section may also need to be duplicated on wireless devices that you want to connect to your wireless network. For example, if you change a LAN‘s IP address, devices within that network will lose connection. They will have to reconnect to the network.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.7.1 Local IP Networks Local IP Networks displays the following information for each network: Network Name IP address/Netmask DHCP Server (Enabled/Disabled) Routing Mode (NAT, Standard, Hotspot, Disabled) Access Control (Admin Access, UPnP Gateway, LAN Isolation) Attached Interfaces (Ethernet ports, WiFi, VLAN) Click Add to configure a new network, or select an existing network and click Edit to view configuration options.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.7.2 Local Network Editor The Local Network Editor contains the following tabs: IP Settings, Interfaces, Access Control, and DHCP Server. IP Settings: Name: This primarily helps to identify this network during other administration tasks. Hostname: [Default: cp (for CradlePoint)] The hostname is the DNS name associated with the router's local area network IP address.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 NAT: Network Address Translation hides private IP addresses behind the router's IP address. This is the simplest and most common choice for users, because NAT does the translation work for you. Standard: NAT-less routing. If you select Standard, you must separately configure your IP addresses so that they will be publically accessible. Typically you will not select this option unless you have a specific reason to bypass NAT.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 Access Control: Tune the access control settings of this network to match the intended use. Simply select or deselect any of the following: LAN Isolation: When checked, this network will NOT be allowed to communicate with other local networks. UPnP Gateway: Select the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) option if you want to enable the UPnP Gateway service for computers on this network.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 DHCP Server: Changing settings for the DHCP server is optional. The default selections are almost always sufficient. DHCP Server: (Default: Enabled) When the DHCP server is enabled, users of your network will be able to automatically connect to the internet without any special configuration. It is recommended that you leave this enabled.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.7.3 Local Network Interfaces Each LAN type—WiFi, Ethernet, and VLAN—has a separate section with configuration options. Unless the default configuration is sufficient, YOU MUST CONFIGURE EACH INTERFACE SEPARATELY in order to create the desired interface options for a network. You can then select these interfaces to add to a network in the Local Network Editor (see above).
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 Wireless Network Editor WiFi Name (SSID): When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will be broadcast from this router for the selected network. This name is referred to as the SSID (service set identifier). For security purposes, CradlePoint highly recommends that you change this from the pre-configured name. Hidden: This shows whether the router broadcasts its SSID.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 Security Mode: You have several options for selecting a security mode. The mode you choose depends on the security features your wireless adapters support. WPA2 Personal WPA / WPA2 Personal WPA Personal WPA2 Enterprise WPA / WPA2 Enterprise WPA Enterprise WEP Auto Open Select ―Open‖ to create a hotspot: otherwise select the best security that your devices will support (CradlePoint recommends WPA2).
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 NOTE: If you select one of the security modes and are unable to connect to the router afterwards, you can use the reset buttons to reset the router to its factory default state and try a different security mode instead. © 2011 CRADLEPOINT, INC. PLEASE VISIT HTTP://KNOWLEDGEBASE.CRADLEPOINT.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 Ethernet Port Configuration Ethernet Port Configuration provides controls for your router‘s Ethernet ports. There are two ports: one set as LAN and one set as WAN. While default settings will be sufficient in most circumstances, you have the ability to control: Mode (WAN or LAN) and Link Speed. Additional controls for WAN ports are available in Internet → Ethernet Settings. Mode: WAN or LAN.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 Ethernet Port Group Editor A Port Group represents a logical grouping of Ethernet ports. Any computers physically connected to ports in a group will be allowed to freely communicate with each other. Since the IBR600 has only 2 Ethernet ports, this feature will rarely be necessary. It is possible, however, to set both ports as LAN ports (or both ports as WAN ports) and then either separate them or group them together.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 VLAN Interfaces A virtual local area network, or VLAN, functions as any other physical LAN, but it enables computers and other devices to be grouped together even if they are not physically attached to the same network switch. To enable a VLAN, select a VID (virtual LAN ID) and a group of Ethernet ports through which users can access the VLAN. Then go back up to the Local Network Editor to attach your new VLAN to a network.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.7.4 WiFi Settings (Advanced Mode only) When you select the Wireless (WiFi) Networks Settings tab in the Local Network Interfaces section, you have several additional options for configuring your wireless LANs under the WiFi Settings heading. Random Channel: Select to randomize the WiFi channel. This makes it less likely that the wireless signal from this router will conflict with another router in the same area.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 Client Timeout: (Default: 300 seconds) If the access point is not able to communicate with the client it will disconnect after this amount of time in seconds. TX Power: Normally the wireless transmitter operates at 100% power. In some circumstances, however, there might be a need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller area.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 802.11 b 802.11 b/g 802.11 b/g/n 802.11 n Channel Width: Selects whether the router uses a single 20 MHz channel to send/receive, or uses two adjacent 20 MHz channels to create a 40 MHz channel. Higher performance is possible with the 40 MHz channel. Selecting Auto is generally best. Enabling WiFi as WAN will force 20 MHz only mode.
CRADLEPOINT IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0 6.8 WiPipe QoS (Advanced Mode only) When WiPipe QoS (Quality of Service/Traffic Shaping) is enabled, the router will control the flow of internet traffic according to the userdefined rules. In other words, Traffic Shaping improves performance by allowing the user to prioritize applications. Enable WiPipe QoS: Click on this box to open options for controlling internet traffic. You can control Uplink Speed values or define your own Traffic Shaping rules.
