INTRONDUCTION Thank you for purchasing our product, and we are proud to provide you with this powerful yet simple communication device for connecting your local area network (wired or wireless LAN) to the Internet. For those who want to surf the Internet at the lowest possible cost, this Broadband Router provides a convenient and powerful solution. This User's Guide introduces to you the common configurations of the Gateway and leads you through the installation step by step.
CHAPTER 1 1.1About the Gateway The Gateway provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a single-user account. The Gateway's most outstanding features include wireless LAN connectivity, as well as the dual-port WAN interface which allows you to connect to an xDSL or Cable modem, ISDN TA or PSTN analog modem. The Gateway provides extensive firewall protection and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services. It also provides print services for any client attached to a LAN port.
CHAPTER 1 1.
CHAPTER 1 1.3Applications Many advanced applications are provided by the Gateway, such as: zFlexible LAN Access The Gateway provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps wired devices as well as 11 Mbps wireless mobile users. The wireless interface makes it easy to create a network in difficult-to-wire environments, or to provide quick access to databases for mobile workers. zInternet Access This device supports Internet access through an xDSL, Cable, ISDN or PSTN connection.
zUser-Definable Application Sensing Tunnel You can define special applications that require multiple connections such as videoconferencing, Internet gaming, and Internet telephony. The Gateway can then sense the application type and open a multi-port tunnel for it. zDMZ Host Support Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This function is used when the special application sensing tunnel feature is insufficient to allow an application to function correctly.
CHAPTER 1 VPN protocols - PPTP, L2TP and IPSec. These protocols allow remote users to establish a secure connection to their corporate network. If your service provider supports VPNs, then any of these protocols can be used to create an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for passing secure data over the Internet (i.e., a traditionally shared data network).

Anyone can access the Status and Help menus, but you must enter the user name "Admin" and a password to access the configuration options provided by the Setup and Tools menus. By default, there is no password, so please assign a password to the Administrator as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place. Passwords can contain from 3-12 alphanumeric characters, and are not case sensitive.
4.3.2 Set Time Zone Set the time zone for the Gateway. This information is used for log entries and client filtering.
CHAPTER 4 Configure the gateway address of the Gateway. To dynamically assign the IP address for client PCs, enable the DHCP Server, set the lease time, and then specify the address range. Also remember to configure all of your client PCs for dynamic address allocation. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, and are separated by periods. The first three fields are the network portion, and can be from 0-255, while the last field is the host portion and can be from 1-254.
4.3.4 WAN Configuration CHAPTER 4 Specify the WAN connection type required by your Internet Service Provider, then click "More Configuration" to provide detail configuration parameters for the selected connection type. Specify one of the first three options to configure a WAN connection through the RJ-45 port (i.e., a connection to an xDSL modem or Cable modem). Specify the "Dial-up on Demand" option to configure a WAN connection through the serial port (i.e., a connection to an ISDN TA or PSTN modem).
CHAPTER 4 4.3.4.1 Dynamic IP Address - DHCP 4-11 The Host Name is optional, but may be required by some ISPs. The default MAC address is set to the WAN's physical interface on the Gateway. Use this address when registering for Internet service, and do not change it unless required by your ISP. You can use the "Clone MAC Address" button to copy the MAC address of the Ethernet Card installed by your ISP (in your PC) and replace the WAN MAC address with this MAC address.
4.3.4.2 Static IP Address - Fixed IP If your Internet Service Provider has assigned a fixed address, enter the assigned address and subnet mask for the Gateway, then enter the gateway address of your ISP. CHAPTER 4 Note:You may need a fixed address if you want to provide Internet services, such as a Web server or FTP server.
CHAPTER 4 4.3.4.3 PPP over Ethernet - PPPoE 4-13 Enter the PPPoE user name and password assigned by your ISP. The Service Name is normally optional, but may be required by some providers.
4.3.4.4 Dial-up on Demand - Modem CHAPTER 4 If you are accessing the Internet via an ISDN TA or PSTN modem attached to the serial port on the Gateway, then you must specify your account information on this screen as described below: Check if you only use a dial-up modem to connect to the Internet - If the serial port is used for primary Internet access, then mark this item. If not marked, then this connection will only be used for backup access if the primary WAN link fails.
Dial-Up Service Phone Number - Enter the phone number your service provider has given to you for Internet access. Dial-Up Account Information - Enter your ISP account user name and password. CHAPTER 4 Has your Internet Service Provider given you an IP address? - If you are assigned a dynamic IP address every time you dial up, mark "No" for this item. However, if your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address for you to use, mark "Yes" for this item and enter the IP address and subnet mask.
4.3.5 DNS Configuration Domain Name Servers are used to map an IP address to the equivalent domain name (e.g., www.abc.com). Your ISP should provide the IP address for one or more domain name servers. Enter those addresses on this screen.
CHAPTER 4 4.3.6 Wireless Configuration 4-17 To configure the Gateway as a wireless access point for wireless clients (either stationary or roaming), all you need to do is define the radio channel, the domain identifier, and encryption options. You can use the Setup Wizard by clicking the "Enter" button at the bottom of the page and changing the required settings, or you can select "Channel and SSID" or "Encryption" from the Setup menu on the left side of the screen.
4.3.6.1 Channel and SSID You must specify a common radio channel and service domain (i.e., Extended Service Set ID) to be used by the Gateway and all of your wireless clients. Be sure you configure all of your clients to the same values.
4.3.6.2 Encryption CHAPTER 4 If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable encryption. Encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/decryption keys for the Gateway and all of your wireless clients. However, please aware that the extra processing time required for encryption may affect the throughput for wireless communications.
CHAPTER 4 If you use encryption, then configure the same keys used for the Gateway on each of your wireless clients. Note that the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.
CHAPTER 4 4.3.7 Configuring Client Services 4-21 The Gateway includes a broad range of client services, including firewall protection, network address translation, virtual server, connection support for special applications, and restricted Internet access for specified clients. You can configure these functions using the Setup Wizard by clicking "Enter" at the bottom of the Advanced Settings screen, or by selecting specific items from the menu on the left of the screen.
4.3.7.1 Firewall Protection CHAPTER 4 The Gateway's firewall can block common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network users.
CHAPTER 4 4.3.7.2 Network Address Translation - NAT 4-23 Network Address Translation can be used to give multiple users access to the Internet with a single user account, or to map the local address for an IP server (such as Web or FTP) to a public address. This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.
The WAN interface must have a fixed IP address to utilize this function. For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or Web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all.NETWORKING AND CLIENT SERVICES 4-18 HTTP request from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2. Therefore, by just entering the IP Address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them.
4.3.7.3 Virtual Server CHAPTER 4 If you configure the Gateway 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 Gateway redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).4.3.
4.3.7.4 Enabling Special Applications Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony and others. These applications may not work when Network Address Translation (NAT) is 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 port normally associated with an application in the "Trigger Port" field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, and then enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic. CHAPTER 4 Note:If an application still cannot function correctly after enabling multiple ports via the Special Application screen, you may have to open the client PC for full Internet access using the DMZ Host option.
4.3.7.5 Virtual DMZ Host If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the NAT firewall or after configuring the Special Applications function, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. CHAPTER 4 Enter the IP address of a DMZ host to this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.
4.3.7.6 Remote Management CHAPTER 4 By default, management access is only available to users on your local network. However, you can also manage the Gateway from a remote host by adding the IP address of an administrator to this screen. 4-29 Note:If you specify an IP address of 0.0.0.0, any host can manage the Gateway.
4.3.7.7 Client Filtering You can filter Internet access for local clients based on IP address, application type (i.e., HTTP port), and time of day. CHAPTER 4 For example, this screen shows that clients in the address range 192.168.2.50-99 are permanently restricted from using FTP (Port 21), while clients in the address range 192.168.2.110-119 are blocked from browsing the Internet from Monday through Friday.
4.4 Viewing Network and Device Status CHAPTER 4 You can use the following screen to display the connection status for the WAN/WLAN/LAN interfaces, firmware and hardware version numbers, any illegal attempts to access your network, as well as information on all DHCP clients connected to your network.
4.5 Using System Tools You can use the "Tools" menu to reboot the Gateway, restore factory settings, or update firmware. Note:If you use the Reset button on the front panel, the Gateway performs a power reset and restores the factory settings.
