Chapter 5 Advanced Features 5 This Chapter explains when and how to use the IAD-200 / IAD-200W's "Advanced" Features. Overview The following advanced features are provided: • Internet: • DMZ • Special Applications • URL filter • Dynamic DNS • Firewall Rules • Firewall Services • Options • Schedule • Virtual Servers • VoIP Internet This screen provides access to the DMZ, Special Applications and URL Filter features.
DMZ This feature, if enabled, allows the DMZ computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on the Internet. • This allows almost any application to be used on the "DMZ PC". • The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data. • If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must select the PC to be used as the "DMZ PC". The "DMZ PC" is effectively outside the Firewall, making it more vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, you should only enable the DMZ feature when required.
Data - Special Applications Screen Checkbox Use this to Enable or Disable this Special Application as required. Name Enter a descriptive name to identify this Special Application. Incoming Ports Outgoing Ports • Type - Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used when you receive data from the special application or service. (Note: Some applications use different protocols for outgoing and incoming data).
Figure 42: URL Filter Screen Data - URL Filter Screen Current Filter Strings Current Filter Strings Add Filter String The list contains the current list of items to block. • To add to the list, use the "Add" option below. • To delete an entry, select it and click Delete button. • To delete all entries, click the Delete All button. To add to the current list, type the word or domain name you want to block into the field provided, then click the Add button.
Trusted PC Allow Trusted PC Enable this to allow one computer to have unrestricted access to the Internet. For this PC, the URL filter will be ignored. If enabled, you must select the PC to be the trusted PC. Trusted PC Select the PC to be the Trusted PC.
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server) This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address. This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you. DDNS Services work as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
DDNS Data Host Name Enter the domain name allocated to you by the DDNS Service. If you have more than one name, enter the name you wish to use. User Name Enter your Username for the DDNS Service. (TZO.com uses your Email address.) Password Enter your current password for the DDNS Service. (TZO.com calls this a key.) Domain Name Enter the domain name allocated to you by the DDNS Service. If you have more than one name, enter the name you wish to use.
Firewall Rules The Firewall Rules screen allows you to define "Firewall Rules" which can allow or prevent certain traffic. "Traffic" means incoming connection attempts, not packets. By default: • All Outgoing traffic is permitted. • All Incoming traffic is denied. Because of this default behavior, any Outgoing rules will generally Block traffic, and Incoming rules will generally Allow traffic. Firewall Rules Screen An example screen is shown below.
Action The action performed on connections which are covered by this rule. LAN Server The PC or Server on your LAN to which traffic covered by this rule will be sent. WAN Users The WAN IP address or addresses covered by this rule. Log Indicates whether or not connections covered by this rule should be logged. Buttons Use the Add button to create a new rule. The other buttons - Edit, Move, or Delete - require that a rule be selected first.
Incoming Rules (Inbound Services) This screen is displayed when the "Add" or "Edit" button for Incoming Rules is clicked. Figure 45: Inbound Services Screen Data - Incoming Rules Screen Inbound Services Service Select the desired Service. This determines which packets are covered by this rule. If necessary, you can define a new Service on the "Services" screen, by defining the protocols and port numbers used by the Service.
Log This determines whether packets covered by this rule are logged. Select the desired action. • Always - always log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not. (This is useful when debugging your rules.) • Never - never log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not. • Match - Log traffic only it matches this rule. (The action is determined by this rule.
BLOCK rule. (That is, you wish to allow a subset of traffic which is currently blocked by another rule.) • LAN Users To define the Schedule used in these selections, use the "Schedule" screen. Select the desired option to determine which PCs are covered by this rule: • Any - All PCs are covered by this rule. • Single PC - Only the selected PC is covered by this rule. If selected, you must select the PC.
User-defined Services Services are used when creating Firewall Rules. If you wish to create a firewall rule, but the required service is not listed in the "Service" list, you can use this feature to define the required service or services. Once created, these services will be listed in the "Service" list, and can be used when creating Firewall Rules. Figure 47: Add Services Screen Data - User-defined Services Services Existing Services This lists any Services you have defined.
Add/Edit Service This screen is displayed when the Add or Edit button on the Services screen is clicked. Figure 48 : Add/Edit Service Data - Add/Edit Service Services Name If editing, this shows the current name of the Service. If adding a new service, this will be blank, and you should enter a suitable name. Type Select the protocol used by the Service. Start Port Enter the beginning of the port range used by the Service. Finish Port Enter the end of the port range used by the Service.
Options This screen allows advanced users to enter or change a number of settings. For normal operation, there is no need to use this screen or change any settings. An example Options screen is shown below. Figure 49: Options Screen Data - Options Screen Internet Respond to Ping MTU Size • If checked, the Wireless Router will respond to Ping (ICMP) packets received from the Internet. • If not checked, Ping (ICMP) packets from the Internet will be ignored.
Schedule This Schedule can be used for the Firewall Rules and the URL filter. Figure 50: Schedule Screen Data - Schedule Screen Schedule Day Each day of the week can scheduled independently. Session 1 Session 2 Two (2) separate sessions or periods can be defined. Session 2 can be left blank if not required. Start Time Enter the start using a 24 hr clock. Finish Time Enter the finish time using a 24 hr clock.
light Savings Time adjustment period, and uncheck it at the end of the Daylight Savings period. Use this NTP Server If you prefer to use a particular NTP server as the primary NTP server, check the checkbox "Use this NTP Server" and enter the Server's IP address in the fields provided. If this setting is not enabled, the default NTP Servers are used. Current Time This displays the current time on the IAD-200 / IAD-200W, at the time the page is loaded.
Virtual Servers This feature, sometimes called Port Forwarding, allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because: • Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address. • Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device. The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your servers, as illustrated below.
• To make it easier for Internet users to connect to your Servers, you can use the "DDNS" feature. This allows Internet users to connect to your Servers with a URL, rather than an IP address. This technology works even if your ISP allocates dynamic IP addresses (IP address is allocated upon connection, so it may change each time you connect). Figure 52: Virtual Servers Screen Data - Virtual Servers Screen Servers Servers This lists a number of common Server types.
Note: From the Internet, ALL Virtual Servers have the IP Address allocated by your ISP.
VoIP To use the VoIP feature requires the following: • Standard Phone A standard analogue Phone must be connected to the Phone socket. • VoIP (SIP Server) Account Generally, you will need a SIP Server account from a VoIP service provider. The account details should include the SIP Register address, SIP Proxy address, SIP register port, SIP Proxy port, username, password, and telephone number. (Many providers use the same proxy server for both Proxy and Register.
Figure 53: VoIP Settings VoIP Settings Local Service SIP Local Port This port is used for peer-to-peer (direct) connections to another device, when no SIP server is used. Normally, this should be left at the default value. Any other devices you wish to connect to must use the same port number. SIP - Line 1 Enable Line1 Check this if you wish to connect to a SIP Server. If enabled, you must provide the following data.
SIP register port Enter the port used for "Register" connections to the Server above. Register Expiry Time This sets the "Idle Timeout" for the SIP Server Login. An Idle connection will be terminated after this time period. Enter the desired value. User Name Enter the login name for connections to the SIP Server. Password Enter the password associated with the login name above. Telephone Number Enter the telephone number provided to you by the VoIP Service provider.
Display Name This is the name you chose when you first opened your account. Your "Display Name" will be visible to other individuals with caller ID. If your display name appears as "UNAVAILABLE", either your VoIP account has not been established or your router has been unable to connect to the VoIP Server. Telephone Number The telephone number associated with this line. This is the telephone number other people will use when they call you.
PSTN Settings PSTN Relay PSTN Prefix The PSTN Relay allows certain calls to be diverted to the PSTN link, even though VoIP is working properly. This PSTN prefix means that any number beginning with this prefix will be diverted to PSTN (the prefix itself is deleted, then the remainder of the number is dialed via PSTN). • If the prefix is a single character, that character must be * • If the prefix is multiple characters, all characters after the 1st character must be digits.
Chapter 6 Advanced Administration 6 This Chapter explains the settings available via the "Administration" section of the menu. Overview Normally, it is not necessary to use these screens, or change any settings. These screens and settings are provided to deal with non-standard situations, or to provide additional options for advanced users. The available settings and features are: PC Database This is the list of PCs shown when you select the "DMZ PC" or a "Virtual Server".
PC Database The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC). • It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses. • Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your LAN. However, if you do use a fixed IP address on some devices on your LAN, you should enter details of each such device into the PC database, using the PC Database screen. PC Database Screen An example PC Database screen is shown below.
Data - PC Database Screen Known PCs This lists all current entries. Data displayed is name (IP Address) type. The "type" indicates whether the PC is connected to the LAN. Name If adding a new PC to the list, enter its name here. It is best if this matches the PC's "hostname". IP Address Enter the IP Address of the PC. The PC will be sent a "ping" to determine its hardware address. If the PC is not available (not connected, or not powered On) you will not be able to add it.
PC Database - Advanced This screen is displayed if the "Advanced Administration" button on the PC Database is clicked. It provides more control than the standard PC Database screen. Figure 57: PC Database (Admin) Data - Advanced PC Database Known PCs This lists all current entries. Data displayed is name (IP Address) type. The "type" indicates whether the PC is connected to the LAN. PC Properties Name If adding a new PC to the list, enter its name here. It is best if this matches the PC's "hostname".
IP Address MAC Address Select the appropriate option: • Automatic - The PC is set to be a DHCP client (Windows: "Obtain an IP address automatically"). The IAD-200 / IAD-200W will allocate an IP address to this PC when requested to do so. The IP address could change, but normally won't. • DCHP Client - Reserved IP Address - Select this if the PC is set to be a DCHP client, and you wish to guarantee that the IAD-200 / IAD-200W will always allocate the same IP Address to this PC.
Config File This feature allows you to download the current settings from the IAD-200 / IAD-200W, and save them to a file on your PC. You can restore a previously-downloaded configuration file to the IAD-200 / IAD-200W, by uploading it to the IAD-200 / IAD-200W. This screen also allows you to set the IAD-200 / IAD-200W back to its factory default configuration. Any existing settings will be deleted. An example Config File screen is shown below.
Logs The Logs record various types of activity on the IAD-200 / IAD-200W. This data is useful for troubleshooting, but enabling all logs will generate a large amount of data and adversely affect performance. Since only a limited amount of log data can be stored in the IAD-200 / IAD-200W, log data can also be E-mailed to your PC. Use the E-mail screen to configure this feature. Figure 59: Logs Screen Data - Logs Screen Logs Current Time The current time on the IAD-200 / IAD-200W is displayed.
Buttons There are three (3) buttons • Refresh - Update the log data. • Clear Log - Clear the log, and restart it. This makes new messages easier to read. • Send Log - E-mail the log immediately. This is only functional if the E-mail screen has been configured. Logs Include (Checkboxes) Use these checkboxes to determine which events are included in the log. Checking all options will increase the size of the log, so it is good practice to disable any events which are not really required.
E-mail This screen allows you to E-mail Logs and Alerts. A sample screen is shown below. Figure 60: E-mail Screen Data - E-mail Screen E-Mail Notification Turn E-mail Notification on Check this box to enable this feature. If enabled, the E-mail address information (below) must be provided. Send to this Email address Enter the E-mail address the Log is to be sent to. The E-mail will also show this address as the Sender's address.
Password If you have enabled "My SMTP Mail Server requires authentication" above, enter the password required to login to your SMTP Server. E-mail Alerts Send E-mail alerts immediately You can choose to have alerts E-mailed to you, by checking the desired checkboxes.
Diagnostics This screen allows you to perform a "Ping" or a "DNS lookup". These activities can be useful in solving network problems. An example Network Diagnostics screen is shown below. Figure 61: Network Diagnostics Screen Data - Network Diagnostics Screen Ping Ping this IP Address Enter the IP address you wish to ping. The IP address can be on your LAN, or on the Internet. Note that if the address is on the Internet, and no connection currently exists, you could get a "Timeout" error.
Remote Administration If enabled, this feature allows you to manage the IAD-200 / IAD-200W via the Internet. Figure 62: Remote Administration Screen Data - Remote Administration Screen Remote Administration Enable Remote Management Check to allow administration/management via the Internet. (To connect, see below). If Disabled, this device will ignore Administration connection attempts from the Internet.
For security, you should restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical. To connect from a remote PC via the Internet 1. 2. Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser. In the "Address" bar, enter "HTTP://" followed by the Internet IP Address of the IAD-200 / IAD-200W. If the port number is not 80, the port number is also required. (After the IP Address, enter ":" followed by the port number.) e.g. HTTP://123.123.123.
Routing Overview • If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing" page completely. • If the IAD-200 / IAD-200W is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the "Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers. • If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the IAD-200 / IAD200W is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.
Figure 63: Routing Screen Data - Routing Screen RIP RIP Direction Select the desired RIP Direction. RIP Version Choose the RIP Version for the Server. Static Routing Static Routing Table Entries This list shows all entries in the Routing Table. • This area shows details of the selected item in the list. • Change any the properties as required, then click the "Edit" button to save the changes to the selected entry.
Local Router The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the IAD-200 / IAD-200W. This router requires that the Default Route is the IAD-200 / IAD-200W itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows. Destination IP Address Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation. Network Mask Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation. Gateway IP Address The IP Address of the IAD-200 / IAD-200W.

Appendix A Troubleshooting A This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions. Overview This section covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the IAD-200 / IAD-200W and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the IAD-200 / IAD-200W still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1: Can't connect to the IAD-200 / IAD-200W to configure it.
Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the IAD-200 / IAD200W. Solution 2: The IAD-200 / IAD-200W processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent. For incoming connections, you must use the Virtual Server or Firewall Rules to specify the PC which will receive the incoming traffic. You can also use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every application, but: • It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled. • Only one (1) PC can use this feature.
stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close to the IAD-200W.
Appendix B About Wireless LANs (IAD-200W only) B This Appendix provides some background information about using Wireless LANs (IAD-200W only). Modes Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes: • Ad-hoc • Infrastructure Ad-hoc Mode Ad-hoc mode does not require an Access Point or a wired (Ethernet) LAN. Wireless Stations (e.g. notebook PCs with wireless cards) communicate directly with each other.
Channels The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication. • Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channels are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference.
Wireless LAN Configuration To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings, as follows: Mode On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastructure". (The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.) SSID (ESSID) Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access Point they wish to connect to. Alternatively, the SSID can be set to "any" or null (blank) to allow connection to any Access Point.
