Setting up the broadband router

Physical installation

1 For the installation of the Broadband router it is assumed that you have at least one PC with a working broadband Internet connection. It is also assumed that the modem is configured in accordance with the requirements of your ISP and of the modem manufacturer. If not, consult your ISP support literature. 2 Before you begin, ensure that the power lead is not connected to either the broadband router or the cable modem/DSL modem. Leave your cable modem/DSL modem plugged in (telephone line or cable input).

Installation - DC-202

3 Connect the LAN cables: For the DC-202, use standard LAN cables to connect the PCs to the LAN ports (hub) on the broadband router. If necessary connect the Uplink port to a standard port on another hub. You must use a standard LAN cable for this. Note: If you use the Uplink port, then port 4 CANNOT be used. 4 Connect your cable modem/DSL modem to the WAN -port on the broadband router. Use the cable supplied with your cable modem/DSL modem. If no cable was supplied with your modem, use a standard network cable. 5 Switch on the cable modem/DSL modem. 6 Connect the power supply adapter to the broadband router. Use only the adapter supplied with the router. 7 Check the LEDs The Power LED must be ON. The WAN LED must be ON. For each active LAN connection, the associated LAN Link/Act LED must be ON.

Software firewalls

Before configuring your router please take note that software firewalls such as Norton Personal Firewall(tm), ZoneLabs ZoneAlarm(tm), etc. can make it very difficult (if not impossible) to set up your router if the firewall is configured incorrectly. Please make sure that the routers subnet (IP-range: 192.168.2.x, subnetmask: 255.255.255.0) is a trusted network and no restrictions are applied to it. If you are unsure how to configure your firewall either contact the firewall manufacturer or (temporarily) remove the firewall from your system(s). Note: Shutting down or disabling your firewall is not advisable because some firewall programs will still block network traffic even though they are disabled. Please continue to chapter 3.

Broadband router setup

1 Ensure that you have followed the steps for setting up on your PC as described in chapter 2. Do not forget to restart your PC after you have finished. 2 Now start your web browser and open the following page: http://192.168.2.The router Status window will now be displayed.

5 The Setup wizard will now be displayed; check that the modem is connected and click Next.
6 Select your country from the Country list.
7 Select your internet provider from the Service menu. If your provider does not appear in the list, consult the full manual located on the CD - ROM to find out how to configure the router for your connection. Click Next.
8 Depending on the chosen provider, you may need to enter your user name and password and MAC address or hostname in the following window. Click Next.
9 Click Finish to complete the configuration. The router will now restart and try to connect to the Internet. Please wait 25 seconds to allow the router to restart. You will be automatically transferred to the status window.
10. The configuration is now completed.

If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 to be compatible with the Broadband Router's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask must be set to 255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on checking your PC's TCP/IP settings. Ensure that your PC and the Broadband Router are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)

Setup Wizard

The first time you connect to the Broadband Router, the Setup Wizard will run automatically. (The Setup Wizard will also run if the Broadband Router's default setting are restored.) 1. Step through the Wizard until finished. You need to know the type of Internet connection service used by your ISP. Check the data supplied by your ISP.
The common connection types are explained in the tables below. On the final screen of the Wizard, run the test and check that an Internet connection can be established. If the connection test fails: Check your data, the Cable/DSL modem, and all connections. Check that you have entered all data correctly. If using a Cable modem, your ISP may have recorded the MAC (physical) address of your PC. Run the Wizard, and on the Cable Modem screen, use the "Clone MAC address" button to copy the MAC address from your PC to the Wireless Router.

PC Configuration
This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal") LAN.
For each PC, the following may need to be configured: TCP/IP network settings Internet Access configuration

Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Broadband Router. The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings. The Broadband Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default Broadband Router settings, and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
By default, the Broadband Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots. For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are required:
The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Broadband Router The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must reconfigure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 - Advanced Setup for details.

Figure 14 - Windows NT4.0 - Add Gateway 2. The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP, as follows: Click the DNS tab. On the DNS screen, shown below, click the Add button (under DNS Service Search Order), and enter the DNS provided by your ISP.

Your LAN administrator can advise you of the IP Address they assigned to the Broadband Router. If the DNS Server fields are empty, select Use the following DNS server addresses, and enter the DNS address or addresses provided by your ISP, then click OK.

Internet Access

To configure your PCs to use the Broadband Router for Internet access: Ensure that the DSL modem, Cable modem, or other permanent connection is functional. Use the following procedure to configure your Browser to access the Internet via the LAN, rather than by a Dial-up connection.

Linux Clients

To access the Internet via the Broadband Router, it is only necessary to set the Broadband Router as the "Gateway". Ensure you are logged in as "root" before attempting any changes.

Fixed IP Address

By default, most Unix installations use a fixed IP Address. If you wish to continue using a fixed IP Address, make the following changes to your configuration. Set your "Default Gateway" to the IP Address of the Broadband Router. Ensure your DNS (Name server) settings are correct.
To act as a DHCP Client (recommended)
The procedure below may vary according to your version of Linux and X -windows shell. 1. Start your X Windows client. 2. Select Control Panel - Network 3. Select the "Interface" entry for your Network card. Normally, this will be called "eth0". 4. Click the Edit button, set the "protocol" to "DHCP", and save this data. 5. To apply your changes Use the "Deactivate" and "Activate" buttons, if available. OR, restart your system.

Other Unix Systems

To access the Internet via the Broadband Router: Ensure the "Gateway" field for your network card is set to the IP Address of the Broadband Router. Ensure your DNS (Name Server) settings are correct.

Chapter 5

Operation and Status
This Chapter details the operation of the Broadband Router and the status screens.

Operation

Once both the Broadband Router and the PCs are configured, operation is automatic. However, there are some situations where additional Internet configuration may be required: If using Internet-based Communication Applications, it may be necessary to specify which PC receives an incoming connection. Refer to Chapter 6 - Advanced Features for further details. Applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers may be blocked by the Broadband Router's built-in firewall. You can define such applications as Special Applications to allow them to function normally. Refer to Chapter 6 - Advanced Features for further details. Some non-standard applications may require use of the DMZ feature. Refer to Chapter 6 Advanced Features for further details.

Select the entry from the list. Click "Delete".

Modify (Edit) a Server:

Note: You can only delete Servers you have defined. Predefined Server cannot be deleted.
From the Internet, ALL Virtual Servers have the IP Address allocated by your ISP.
Connecting to the Virtual Servers
Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use the Internet IP Address (the IP Address allocated to you by your ISP). e.g. http://203.70.212.52 ftp://203.70.212.52 It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic. However, you can use the Dynamic DNS feature, described in the following section, to allow users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
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. The Service works as follows: 1. You must register for the service at http://www.dyndns.org (Registration is free). Your password will be E-mailed to you. 2. After registration, use the "Create New Host" option (at www.dyndns.org) to request your desired Domain name. 3. Enter your data from www.dyndns.org in the Broadband Router's DDNS screen. 4. The Broadband Router will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is recorded at http://www.dyndns.org 5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC) using your Domain name, as shown on this screen.

Dynamic DNS Screen

Select Advanced on the main menu, then Dynamic DNS, to see a screen like the following:

Figure 37: DDNS Screen

Data - Dynamic DNS Screen
DDNS Service DDNS Service DDNS Data User Name Password Domain Name Enter the "User name" specified at the www.dyndns.org Web site when you registered. Enter your current password for www.dyndns.org DDNS Status Enter your domain name, as allocated at www.dyndns.org. The name should consist only of letters and the hyphen (dash). Using any other characters may cause problems. Normally, this message should be "Update successful" (current IP address was updated on the www.dyndns.org server). If the message is "No host", this indicates the host name entered was not allocated to you. You need to connect to www.dyndns.org and correct this problem. You must sign up first to create a new account before using the service. The service is free. Click this link to connect to the www.dyndns.org Web site. Your initial password will be E-mailed to you; you can change this later if you wish. After registration, use the "Create New Host" link (on the www.dyndns.org Web site) to request a domain name.

UPnP Enable UPnP Services

Allow Configuration.

Allow Internet access to be disabled
If checked, then UPnP users can disable Internet access via this device. If Disabled, UPnP users can NOT disable Internet access via this device. But currently, this restriction only applies to users running Windows XP, who access the Properties via UPnP. (e.g. Right click the Broadband Router in My Network Places, and select Properties)
MTU MTU size MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value should only be changed if advised to do so by Technical Support. Enter a value between 1 and 1500. This device will still auto-negotiate with the remote server, to set the MTU size. The smaller of the 2 values (auto-negotiated, or entered here) will be used. For direct connections (not PPPoE or PPTP), the MTU used is always 1500.

Security

This screen allows you to set Firewall and other security-related options.
Figure 42: Security Screen

Data - Security Screen

Firewall Enable DoS Firewall If enabled, DoS (Denial of Service) attacks will be detected and blocked. The default is enabled. It is strongly recommended that this setting be left enabled. Note: A DoS attack does not attempt to steal data or damage your PCs, but overloads your Internet connection so you can not use it - the service is unavailable. This device uses "Stateful Inspection" technology. This system can detect situations where individual TCP/IP packets are valid, but collectively they become a DoS attack. A "half-open" connection arises when a remote client contacts the Server with a connection request, but then does not reply to the Server's response. While the optimum number of "half-open" connections allowed (the "Threshold") depends on many factors, the most important factor is the available bandwidth of your Internet connection. Select the setting to match the bandwidth of your Internet connection.

Threshold

This setting affects the number of "half-open" connections allowed.
Options Respond to ICMP The ICMP protocol is used by the "ping" and "traceroute" programs, and by network monitoring and diagnostic programs. Allow IPsec If checked, the Broadband Router will repond to ICMP packets received from the Internet. If not checked, ICMP packets from the Internet will be ignored. Disabling this option provides a slight increase in security.

The IPSec protocol is used to establish a secure connection, and is widely used by VPN (Virtual Private Networking) programs. If checked, IPSec connections are allowed. If not checked, IPSec connections are blocked.

Allow PPTP

PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) is widely used by VPN (Virtual Private Networking) programs. If checked, PPTP connections are allowed. If not checked, PPTP connections are blocked.

Allow L2TP

L2TP is a protocol developed by Cisco for VPNs (Virtual Private Networks). If checked, L2TP connections are allowed. If not checked, L2TP connections are blocked.
The Logs record various types of activity on the Broadband Router. 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 Broadband Router, log data can also be E-mailed to your PC.

Figure 43: Logs Screen

Data - Logs Screen
Enable Logs Outgoing Connections If selected, Outgoing Internet connections are logged. Normally, the (Internet) "Destination" will be shown as an IP address. But if the "URL Filter" is enabled, the "Destination" will be shown as a URL. If enabled, the log will include attempted outgoing connections which have been blocked by the "Access Control" feature. If enabled, this log will show details of DoS (Denial of Service) attacks which have been blocked by the built-in Firewall. Select the correct Timezone for your location. This is required for the date/time shown on the logs to be correct.
Access Control DoS Attacks Timezone E-Mail Reports Send E-mail alert
If enabled, an E-mail will be sent immediately if a DoS (Denial of Service) attack is detected. If enabled, the E-mail address information must be provided.

E-mail Logs

You can choose to have the logs E-mailed to you, by enabling either or both checkboxes. If enabled, the Log will sent to the specified E-mail address. The interval between E-mails is determined by the "Send" setting. Select the desired option for sending the log by E-mail. When log is full - The time is not fixed. The log will be sent when the log is full, which will depend on the volume of traffic. Every day, Every Monday. - The log is sent on the interval specified. If "Every day" is selected, the log is sent at the time specified. If the day is specified, the log is sent once per week, on the specified day. Select the time of day you wish the E-mail to be sent. If the log is full before the time specified to send it, it will be sent regardless.

E-Mail Address E-mail Address Subject SMTP Server Port No. 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. Enter the text string to be shown in the "Subject" field for the Email. Enter the address or IP address of the SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) Server you use for outgoing E-mail. Enter the port number used to connect to the SMTP Server. The default value is 25.
The MAC (hardware) address is a low-level network identifier. It may be called "MAC Address", "Hardware Address", or "Physical Address". On a PC, this address is associated with the Network card or adapter. The address on the MAC Address screen is the address on the Internet (WAN port) interface, and has no effect on the LAN interface. If your ISP asks for the "Network Adapter Address", "Physical Address", "Hardware Address", or "MAC Address" for the PC the DSL/Cable modem is connected to, provide this value. If your ISP has already recorded a MAC address, you can change the address used by the Broadband Router to match the address recorded by your ISP.

MAC Address Screen

Select MAC Address from the Advanced menu to reach a screen like the example below.
Figure 44: MAC address Screen
Data - MAC address Screen
MAC (hardware) Address The current MAC (hardware) address is displayed. If your ISP has recorded a Hardware Address, you can "spoof" that address by entering it in the address field. The hardware address consists of 12 characters, where each character is a digit (0.9) or a character between A and F.
Buttons Default Copy from PC Save Cancel Inserts the default MAC address into the MAC address field. You must click "Save" to actually change the address used. Inserts the MAC address from your PC into the MAC address field. You must click "Save" to actually change the address used. Save your changes to the Broadband Router. Reverse any changes made since the last "Save".
If the MAC address is changed, the Broadband Router must restart.
If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing" page completely. If the Broadband Router 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 Broadband Router is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing table. If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN segments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.) If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the Broadband Router, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are correct: Open Routing and Remote Access In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access , [server name], IP Routing, RIP In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version 2, and then click "Properties". On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and Incoming packet protocol to "RIP version 1 and 2".

Routing Screen

The routing table is accessed by the Routing link on the Advanced screen.

Using this Screen

Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the Static Routing Table, as explained above, although is it possible to use both methods simultaneously.

Static Routing Table

If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your Network, other than the segment to which this device is attached. The other Routers must also be configured. See Configuring Other Routers on your LAN later in this chapter for further details and an example.

Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the Broadband Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the Broadband Router as the Default Route or Default Gateway.
