3. Preparing Your Network

In this chapter, you’ll learn what to do before configuring your
network.

Before configuring your router, you need set up the computers in
your network for TCP/IP networking and collect relevant ISP
information if necessary.

3.1 Configuring Windows for IP Networking

Each computer in your network should be configured for TCP/IP
networking. There are two ways to configure your computers:

▪ You are commended to use DHCP, then you can simply choose

to receive an IP address automatically. For detailed instructions,
see Configure Windows to Receive Dynamic IP Address

.

▪ If you don’t use DHCP, you need assign an IP address to each

computer manually. For detailed instructions, refer to your
Windows Documentation.

3.2 To Configure Windows to Receive Dynamic IP
Address:

3.2.1. Click Start, then choose Settings > Network and Dial-up
Connections.

95/98/ME/NT/XP, refer to your Windows Documentation.

3.3 Collecting ISP Information

You need query the relevant information from your ISP before
configuring your router, for example:

▪ Has your ISP assigned you a static or dynamic IP address? If

you have obtained one static IP address, what is it?

▪ Does your ISP use PPPoE? If so, what is your PPPoE user name

and password?

If you are not sure of the above questions, call your ISP to clarify them.

5.2 Virtual Servers

In some situations, you might want users on the Internet to be able
to access servers on your LAN, such as an FTP Server, Telnet
Server or Web Server. Such remote services are accomplished by
creating Virtual Server.

Each virtual server has its own IP address and shares a single public
IP address. It is defined by the Protocol type (TCP, UDP or Both)
and a TCP/UDP/Both port number. Only the enabled virtual
servers can be accessed by remote users over the Internet.

Note :
Configuring virtual servers may cause filters to be automatically
created on the Filters page.

What do you want to do?

Well-known Ports on the right of the page, seen in FIGURE 5-4:

FIGURE 5-4: Well-know Ports

Notes :
Public Port is the TCP/UDP/Both port number used by the server PC
on the WAN. It is also called the external port number because this
port number is visible to the users on the Internet.
Private Port is the TCP/UDP/Both port number used by the server PC
on the LAN. The designated Public Port will be translated into this
internal port number

.

5.2.1.5. Select one of TCP, UDP and Both from the Protocol drop-down

In addition to 9 default filters, some filters may be created
automatically to allow Virtual Servers or Special Applications to
function.

We strongly recommend that you choose an empty row when you
want to set up new filters, because overwriting or deleting these
filters may cause some services to be disabled, for example, your
client PCs may NOT be able to access the Internet.

Note – If you have overwritten or deleted the factory default filters, you
can retrieve them at a later time using the Restore Factory Defaults
function on the Tools page. For detailed instructions, see To Restore the
Factory Default Configuration.

5.10 SNMP

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an
application layer protocol that facilities the exchange of
management information between network devices. It is part of
TCP/IP (Transmission Control protocol/Internet Protocol) suite and
enables you to control and monitor the network in a simple way.

On the SNMP page, you can edit the basic Agent information and
also configure up to 6 SNMP trap receiver’s IP Addresses. When a
trap condition occurs, your router will send an SNMP trap message
to any NMS (Network Management System) specified as trap
receivers, for example, when power supply errors occur.

Notes :
NMS (Network Management System) is an SNMP management
application together with the computer it runs on.
Currently the Company AP Router supports SNMPv1 (SNMP version

1) and SNMPv2 (SNMP version 2) which have a number of features in
common except for some enhancements.

And moreover, you can specify different community names for
authenticating access to the management information, which
function as embedded passwords:

▪ Read: Gives you READ access to all the management

information, but does not allow WRITE access.

▪ Write: Gives you both READ and WRITE access to all the

management information.

Note :
The community name definitions on your NMS must match at least one
of the above two community name definitions.

What do you want to do?

▪ Configure Agent Information, SNMP Trap Host IP Addresses

and Community Names on Your Router

▪ Delete an Existing SNMP Trap Receiver

▪ Delete SNMP Community Names

5.10.1. To Configure Agent Information, SNMP Trap Host IP
Addresses and Community Names on Your Router:

5.10.1.1. On the Advanced navigation bar, click SNMP.

5.11 Static Routing

The Static Routing is used to configure static routes to remote networks
manually, where the route is predefined and is not supervised by the
Routing Information Protocol (RIP). It can explicitly reduce the network
traffic and speed the Internet connects for a small network.

However, it may fall into a certain disadvantage. When a static router
involves more than one Hop, if the connection to the next hop goes down, the
router cannot be aware of the invalid path and continues to route traffic on
this hop.

On the Static Routing page, you can add up to 20 static routes by indicating:

▪ Destination LAN IP address and Subnet Mask

▪ Remote gateway

▪ Hop

Note :
If the network topology changes, you may have to make changes to the static
routing tables for relevant static routes.

▪ Router interface through which to forward the packets to the destination.

What do you want to do?

▪ Add a New Static Route

▪ Delete a Static Route

5.11.1. To Add a New Static Route:

5.11.1.1. On the Advanced navigation bar, click Routing.

The Static Routing page appears, seen in FIGURE 5-15:

6. Glossary

IEEE 802.11 Standard

The IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN standards subcommittee, which is formulating
a standard for the industry.

Access point

An Internet working device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks together.

Ad hoc

An ad hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each with a WLAN adapter, connected as an
independent wireless LAN. Ad hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or
SOHO operation.

BSSID

A specific ad hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must be configured with
the same BSSID.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - a method in which IP addresses are assigned by a server
dynamically to clients on the network. DHCP is used for dynamic IP addressing and requires a dedicated
DHCP server on the network.

DSSS

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum. This is the method the wireless adapters use to transmit data over the
frequency spectrum. An alternative method is frequency hopping. Direct sequence spreads the data over
one frequency range (channel) while frequency hopping jumps from one narrow frequency band to
another many times per second.

ESSID

An infrastructure configuration could also support roaming capability for mobile workers. More than one
BSS can be configured as an extended service set (ESS). Users within an ESS can roam freely between
BSSs while served as a continuous connection to the network wireless stations and access points within
an ESS must be configured with the same ESSID and the same radio channel.

Ethernet

Ethernet is a 10/100Mbps network that runs over dedicated home/office wiring.
Users must be wired to the network at all times to gain access.

Gateway

A gateway is a hardware and software device that connects two dissimilar systems, such as a LAN and a
mainframe. In Internet terminology, a gateway is another name for a router. Generally a gateway is used
as a funnel for all traffic to the Internet.

IEEE

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

Infrastructure

An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is
applicable on an enterprise scale for wireless access to a central database, or wireless application for
mobile workers.

ISM Band

The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for unlicensed use in the
so-called ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in particular,
is being made available worldwide. This presents a truly revolutionary opportunity to place convenient
high speed wireless capabilities in the hands of users around the globe.

LAN

Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with the appropriate network
adapter connected by cable/air that share applications, data, and peripherals. All connections are made via
cable or wireless media, but a LAN does not use telephone services. It typically spans a single building or
campus.

Network

A network is a system of computers that is connected. Data, .les, and messages can be transmitted over
this network. Networks may be local or wide area networks.

Protocol

A protocol is a standardized set of rules that specify how a communication is to take place, including the
format, timing, sequencing and/ or error checking.

SSID

Service Set Identifier. A network ID unique to a network. Only clients and access points that share the
same SSID are able to communicate with each other. This string is case-sensitive.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol is the network management protocol of TCP/IP. In SNMP,
agents-which can be hardware as well as software-monitor the activity in the various devices on the
network and report to the network console workstation. Control information about each device is
maintained in a structure known as a management information block.

Static IP addressing

A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks with static IP address, the
network administrator manually assigns an IP address to each computer. Once a static IP address is
assigned, a computer uses the same IP address every time it reboots and logs on to the network, unless it
is manually changed.

TCP/IP

Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol. TCP/IP is the protocol suite developed by the
Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). TCP governs how a packet is sequenced for transmission
the network. The term “TCP/IP” is often used generically to refer to the entire suite of related protocols.

Transmit / Receive

The wireless throughput in bytes per second (Bps) averaged over two seconds.

WAN

Wide Area Network. A WAN consists of multiple LANs that are tied together via telephone services and
/ or fiber optic cabling. WANs may span a city, a state, a country, or even the world.

3. Vorbereitung Ihres Netzwerks

In diesem Kapitel erfahren Sie, was vor dem Konfigurieren Ihres
Netzwerks zu tun ist.

Bevor Sie Ihren Router konfigurieren, müssen Sie die Computer in
Ihrem Netzwerk für ein TCP/IP-Netzwerk einrichten und ggf. die
relevanten ISP-Informationen einholen.

3.1 Konfigurieren von Windows für IP-Netzwerke

Jeder Computer in Ihrem Netzwerk sollte für die
TCP/IP-Netzwerkanbindung konfiguriert werden. Es gibt zwei
Wege, Ihre Computer zu konfigurieren:

▪ Es wird empfohlen, DHCP zu verwenden, da hier einfach

gewählt werden kann, eine IP-Adresse automatisch zu erhalten.
Zu detaillierten Anweisungen siehe Konfigurieren von Windows,

um eine dynamische IP-Adresse zu erhalten

▪ Wenn Sie DHCP nicht verwenden, müssen Sie jedem Computer

manuell eine IP-Adresse zuweisen. Zu detaillierten Anweisungen
beachten Sie bitte Ihre Windows-Dokumentation.

3.2 Konfigurieren von Windows, um eine
dynamische IP-Adresse zu erhalten:

3.2.1. Klicken Sie auf Start, wählen Sie dann Einstellungen > Netzwerk
und DFÜ-Verbindung.

3.2.2. Wählen Sie den Namen Ihrer ISP-Verbindung.
