1.1 Features

IPSec VPN Features

• IPSec. Support for IPSec standards, including IKE and certificates.

• 1

0 Tunnels. Up to 10 VPN tunnels can be created.

• IPSec Authentication and Encryption. Support DES, 3DES, AES-128, 192, 256 bits Encryption, and MD5, SHA-1 Authentication.

Microsoft VPN Gateway Support

• PPTP Server. The IP-2000VPN emulates a Microsoft PPTP VPN Server, allowing clients to use

the Microsoft VPN client provided in Windows.

• Windows Client Support. Remote users can use the Microsoft VPN client (VPN Adapter) provided

in recent versions of Windows.

• E

asy Setup. For both the Administrator and remote users, the Microsoft VPN is much easier to

configure than IPSec VPN.

Security Features

• Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to prevent

unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.

• N

AT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that

by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each

PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device – the

IP-2000VPN.

•

Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server

requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources.

•

Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet

connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many

resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The IP-2000VPN incorporates protection

against DoS attacks.

• R

ule-based Policy Firewall. To provide additional protection against malicious packets, you can

define your own firewall rules. This can also be used to control the Internet services available to LAN

users.

AirLive IP-2000VPN User’s Manual

Page 9

Advanced Internet Functions

• Communication Applications. Support for Internet communication applications, such as

interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing applications, which are often difficult to use when

behind a Firewall, is included.

irtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The

required setup is quick and easy.

• M

ulti-DMZ. For each WAN (Internet) IP address allocated to you, one (1) PC on your local LAN

can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way communication with Servers or individual users on the

Internet. This provides the ability to run programs which are incompatible with Firewalls.

• P

hysical DMZ Port. PCs connected to the DMZ port are effectively isolated from your LAN, while

connected to the Internet. This provides additional security for your LAN while allowing your Servers

to be accessed from the Internet.

• U

RL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.

• I

nternet Access Log. See which Internet connections have been made.

• V

PN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software using PPTP,

L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.

Internet Access Features

• Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet through the

IP-2000VPN, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden

from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).

• D

SL & Cable Modem Support. The IP-2000VPN has a 100BaseT Ethernet port for connecting a

DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are supported. SingTel RAS and Big

Pond (Australia) login support is also included.

• P

PPoE, PPTP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond Support. The Internet (WAN port) connection

supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol), SingTel RAS and

Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as "Direct Connection" type services.

• F

ixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the IP-2000VPN supports

both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.

AirLive IP-2000VPN User’s Manual

LAN Features

• 3-Port Switching Hub. The IP-2000VPN incorporates a 3-port 10/100BaseT switching hub,

making it easy to create or extend your LAN.

• D

HCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to

PCs and other devices upon request. The IP-2000VPN can act as a DHCP Server for devices on

your local LAN and WLAN.

• M

ulti Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more segments are supported, via the

IP-2000VPN's RIP (Routing Information Protocol) support and built-in static routing table.

• D

MZ Port. Used when allowing Servers on your LAN to be accessed from the Internet, the DMZ

port provides additional protection for both your Servers and your LAN.

Configuration & Management

• Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for configuration.

• R

emote Management. The IP-2000VPN can be managed from any PC on your LAN. And, if the

Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the Internet.

• U

PnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and configuration of

the IP-2000VPN. UPnP is by supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.

1.2 Installation of the Router

Requirement

• Network cables. Use standard 10/100BaseT network (UTP) cables with RJ45 connectors.

• TCP/IP protocol must be installed on all PCs.

• For Internet Access, an Internet Access account with an ISP, and a Broadband modem (usually, DSL

or Cable modem).

Procedure

1. Choose an Installation Site

Select a suitable place on the network to install the IP-2000VPN. Ensure the IP-2000VPN and the

DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF.

2. Connect LAN Cables

• Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on the IP-2000VPN. Both

10BaseT and 100BaseTX connections can be used simultaneously.

• If required, you can connect any LAN port to another Hub. Any LAN port on the IP-2000VPN will

automatically function as an "Uplink" port when required. Just connect any LAN port to a normal port

on the other hub, using a standard LAN cable.

• If desired, connect a PC (server) to the DMZ port. To use multiple servers, use a standard LAN cable

to connect the DMZ port to a normal port on another hub, and connect your servers to the hub. PCs

connected to the DMZ port are isolated from your LAN.

3. Connect WAN Cable

Connect the Broadband modem to the WAN port on the IP-2000VPN. Use the cable supplied with your

Broadband modem. If no cable was supplied, use a standard LAN cable.

AirLive IP-2000VPN User’s Manual

Page 12

4. Power Up

• Power on the Broadband modem.

• Connect the supplied power adapter to the IP-2000VPN and power up. Please note that you should

use only the power adapter provided. Using a different one may cause hardware damage.

5. Check the LEDs

• The Power LED should be ON.

• The Status LED should blink during start up, and then turn Off. If it stays on, there is a hardware

error.

• For each LAN (PC) connection, the LAN Link/Act LED should be ON (provided the PC is also ON).

• If a PC is connected to the DMZ port, the DMZ port's Link/Act LED should be ON (provided the PC is

also ON).

• The WAN LED should be ON.

6. Router’s default IP

• The default IP address of router’s LAN port is:

IP Address: 192.168.1.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

• For Web Management, please configure client PC as DHCP client to obtain IP address from

IP-2000VPN.

• After configuring the computer’s IP properly, please enter the router’s IP address “192.168.1.1” in

Web browser to manage the router, type the proper user name and password to pass the router’s

authentication.

1.4 Packing List

The following items should be included:

• IP-2000VPN Internet VPN Router

• Installation CD-ROM

• Quick Installation Guide

• AC Adapter

When you open your package, make sure all of the above items are included and not damaged. If you see that any components are damaged, please notify your dealer immediately.

1.5 Hardware DMZ

Using the DMZ Port

The DMZ port is intended for connection of a server you wish to make available to the public. To use multiple

servers, use a standard LAN cable to connect the DMZ port to a normal port on another switch, and connect

your servers to the switch.

Please note the following points regarding the DMZ port:

• Although physically attached to the switch ports, the DMZ port is not part of the built-in switch. It is a

separate single port which is isolated from the switch.

• PCs connected to the DMZ port are on the same LAN segment as PCs connected to the LAN ports.

They must use the same IP address range.

• PCs connected to the DMZ port are NOT visible to PCs on the LAN ports. So you cannot use

Microsoft networking or other networking protocols to connect to PCs on the DMZ. The connection

must be made via the Internet.

• PCs connected to the DMZ port still share the WAN port IP address for Internet access.

• To make PCs on the DMZ port available from the Internet, the "Virtual Server" (Port Forwarding)

feature must be configured to send incoming traffic to the appropriate server.

Advantages of the DMZ Port

If running any Servers on your LAN, you should connect them to the DMZ port, for the following reasons:

• Traffic passing between the DMZ and LAN passes through the firewall. The firewall will protect your

LAN if your Server is compromised and used to launch an attack on your LAN.

• When using the Virtual Servers feature, a firewall rule to allow incoming traffic from the Internet to the

DMZ is automatically created. If the Server is connected to the LAN ports, you must add the firewall

rule manually.

If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your PC's IP address is not

compatible with the IP-2000VPN’s IP Address. (See next item).

• If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range 192.168.1.2 to

192.168.1.254 to be compatible with the IP-2000VPN's default IP Address of 192.168.1.1. Also, the

Network Mask must be set to 255.255.255.0. See Appendix A - PC Configuration for details on

checking your PC's TCP/IP settings.

Ensure that your PC and the IP-2000VPN are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this

must be the case.)

IP address for the IP-2000VPN, as seen from the local LAN. Use the

default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is using a

different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP

Address from within the range used by your LAN.

The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")

networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN

segment to which the IP-2000VPN is attached (the same value as the

PCs on that LAN segment).

• If enabled, the IP-2000VPN will allocate IP Addresses to PCs

(DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (and

recommended) value is Enabled.

• If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be

disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to

treat the IP-2000VPN as the default Gateway. See the following

section for further details.

• The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values

What DHCP Server Can Do

A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a DHCP Client (PC or

device) upon request.

• The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).

• The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as allocating an IP

Address..

• The IP-2000VPN can act as a DHCP server.

• Windows 2000/XP and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP client. This is the

default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However, Windows uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatically instead of "DHCP Client”.

• You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your LAN does

not have other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on your LAN).

Using the IP-2000VPN’s DHCP Server

This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen, you can:

• Enable or Disable the IP-2000VPN's DHCP Server function.

• Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.

You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices while using DHCP, provided that the Fixed

IP Addresses are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server.

Using another DHCP Server

You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP Server, rather

than the IP-2000VPN's, the following procedure is required.

• Disable the DHCP Server feature in the IP-2000VPN. This setting is on the LAN screen.

• Configure the DHCP Server to provide the IP-2000VPNs IP Address as the Default Gateway .

To Configure your PCs to use DHCP

This is the default setting for TCP/IP under Windows 98/ME/2000/XP or else operating system.

See Appendix A - Client Configuration for the procedure to check these settings.

AirLive IP-2000VPN User’s Manual

Operation

Once both the IP-2000VPN 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 4 - Internet Features for further details.

• Applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers may be blocked by the

IP-2000VPN's built-in firewall. You can define such applications as Special Applications to allow them to function normally. Refer to Chapter 4 - Internet Features for further details.

• Some non-standard applications may require use of the DMZ feature. Refer to Chapter 4 - Internet Features for further details.

The DNS (Domain Name Server) address will be obtained automatically

from your ISP's server. Note that if using a fixed IP address, with no login

(login is set to "None"), then no Server is used, and this option cannot be

used.

If this option is selected, you must enter the IP address of the DNS

(Domain Name Server) you wish to use.

Note: If the DNS is unavailable, the "Backup DNS", entered on the Internet - Options screen, will be used.

If your ISP does not use a login method (username, password) for Internet

access, leave this at the default value "None (Direct connection)"

Otherwise, check the documentation from your ISP, select the login

method used, and enter the required data.

• PPPoE - this is the most common login method, widely used with DSL

modems. Normally, your ISP will have provided some software to

connect and login. This software is no longer required, and should not

Communication Applications

Most applications are supported transparently by the IP-2000VPN. But sometimes it is not clear which PC

should receive an incoming connection. This problem could arise with the Communication Applications

listed on this screen.

If this problem arises, you can use this screen to set which PC should receive an incoming connection, as

described below.

Communication Applications Select an Application

Send incoming calls to

This lists applications which may generate incoming connections, where

the destination PC (on your local LAN) is unknown.

This lists the PCs on your LAN.

• If necessary, you can add PCs manually, using the PC Database option on the Other menu.

• For each application listed above, you can choose a destination PC.

• There is no need to "Save" after each change; you can set the

destination PC for each application, then click "Save".

Special Applications

If you use Internet applications with non-standard connections or port numbers, you may find that they do not

function correctly because they are blocked by the IP-2000VPN's firewall. In this case, you can define the

application as a "Special Application".

Special Applications Screen

This screen can be reached by clicking the Special Applications button on the Advanced Internet screen.

You can then define your Special Applications. You will need detailed information about the application; this is

normally available from the supplier of the application.

Also, note that the terms "Incoming" and "Outgoing" on this screen refer to traffic from the client (PC)

viewpoint.

special application or service. (Note: Some applications use different protocols

for outgoing and incoming data).

• Start - Enter the beginning of the range of port numbers used by the application

server, for data you receive. If the application uses a single port number, enter

it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields.

• Finish - Enter the end of the range of port numbers used by the application

server, for data you receive.

• Type - Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used when you send data to the

remote system or service.

• Start - Enter the beginning of the range of port numbers used by the application

server, for data you send to it. If the application uses a single port number,

enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields.

• Finish - Enter the end of the range of port numbers used by the application

server, for data you send to it. If the application uses a single port number,

enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields.

Using a Special Application

• Configure the Special Applications screen as required.

• On your PC, use the application normally. Remember that only one (1) PC can use each Special

application at any time. Also, when 1 PC is finished using a particular Special Application, there may

need to be a "Time-out" before another PC can use the same Special Application. The "Time-out"

period may be up to 3 minutes

If an application still cannot function correctly, try using the "DMZ" feature.

Multi-DMZ

This feature, if enabled, allows one (1) or more computers on your LAN to be exposed to all users on the

Internet. You can set a DMZ PC for each WAN IP address. If you only have 1 WAN IP addresses, only 1 DMZ

PC can be used.

AirLive IP-2000VPN User’s Manual

Page 33

This allows unrestricted 2-way communication between the "DMZ PC" and other Internet users or Servers.

• 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".

• To use more than one (1) DMZ, your ISP must assign multiple fixed IP addresses to you. You must

enter each IP address; you can then assign a DMZ PC for each IP address.

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.

URL Filter

The URL Filter allows you to block access to undesirable Web site.

• To use this feature, you must define "filter strings". If the "filter string" appears in a requested URL,

the request is blocked.

• Enabling the URL Filter also affects the Internet Access Log. If Enabled, the "Destination" field in

the log will display the URL. Otherwise, it will display the IP Address

• The URL Filter can be Enabled or Disabled on the Advanced Internet screen

4.3 Dynamic DNS

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 one of the listed DDNS Service providers.

2. After registration, follow the Service Provider's procedure to request a Domain Name, and have it

allocated to you.

3. Enter your DDNS data on the IP-2000VPN's DDNS screen (shown below).

4. The IP-2000VPN will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is recorded and updated at

the DDNS server.

If the DDNS Service provides software to perform this "IP address update"; you should disable the

"Update" function, or not use the software at all.

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

• You must register for the service at one of the listed Service Providers. You

can reach the Service provider's Web Site by selecting them in the list and

clicking the "Web Site" button.

• Apply for a Domain Name, and ensure it is allocated to you.

• Details of your DDNS account (Name, password, Domain name) must then be

entered and saved on this screen.

• This device will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is

recorded by the DDNS Service Provider. (You do NOT need to use the "Client"

program provided by some DDNS Service providers.)

• From the Internet, users will now be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or

DMZ PC) using your Domain name.

Select the desired DDNS Service provider.

Enter your Username for the DDNS Service.

Enter your current password for the DDNS Service.

Domain Name

than one name, enter the name you wish to use.

• This message is returned by the DDNS Server

• Normally, this message should be something like "Update successful" or "IP

address updated".

• If the message indicates some problem, you need to connect to the DDNS

Service provider and correct this problem.

Page 36

4.4 Virtual Server

This feature 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.

IP address seen by Internet Users

Note that, in this illustration, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP Address, but using different

protocols.

To Internet users, all virtual Servers on your LAN have the same IP Address. This IP Address is allocated by your ISP.

This address should be static, rather than dynamic, to make it easier for Internet users to connect to your

Servers.

However, you can use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature to allow users to connect to your Virtual Servers

using a URL, instead of an IP Address.

AirLive IP-2000VPN User’s Manual

Page 37

Using the DMZ port for Virtual Servers

You should connect your Virtual Servers to the DMZ port, for the following reasons:

• Traffic passing between the DMZ and LAN passes through the firewall. The firewall will protect your

LAN if your Server is compromised and used to launch an attack on your LAN.

• For each enabled Virtual Server, a firewall rule to allow incoming traffic from the Internet (WAN) to the

DMZ is automatically created. If the Server is connected to the LAN (switch) ports, you must add the

firewall rule manually.

The DMZ port is a normal port, not an "uplink" port. If connecting to a switch, connect to the

standard port on the switch.

Virtual Server Screen

The Virtual Servers screen is reached by the Virtual Servers link on the Internet menu. An example screen

is shown below.

This screen lists a number of pre-defined Servers, providing a quick and convenient method to set up the

common server types.

• If Enabled, any incoming connections will be forwarded to the selected PC.

• If Disabled, any incoming connection attempts will be blocked.

Select the PC for this Server. The PC must be running the appropriate Server

software.

Defining your own Virtual Servers

If the type of Server you wish to use is not listed on the Virtual Servers screen, you can use the Firewall

Rules to allow particular incoming traffic and forward it to a specified PC (Server).

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.

5.3 Firewall Rule

For normal operation and LAN protection, it is not necessary to use this screen.

The Firewall will always block DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. 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.

As well, you can use this screen to create Firewall rules to block or allow specific traffic. But incorrect

configuration may cause serious problems.

This feature is for advanced administrators only!

Firewall Rules Screen

Click the Firewall Rules option on the Security menu to see a screen like the following example. This

example contains two (2) rules for outgoing traffic.

Since the default rule for outgoing (LAN => WAN) traffic is "Allow", having an "Allow" rule for

LAN => WAN only makes sense in combination with another rule.

For example, the screen below shows a rule blocking all traffic to a MSN Game Server, followed by another rule allowing access by a specific PC.

5.4 Logs

The Logs record various types of activity on the IP-2000VPN. 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 IP-2000VPN, log data can also be E-mailed to

your PC or sent to a Syslog Server.

Data – Security Options Screen

Firewall Enable DoS Firewall

Threshold

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.

This setting affects the number of "half-open" connections allowed.

• 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.

Options Respond to ICMP (ping)

Allow VPN pass-through

Drop fragmented

The ICMP protocol is used by the "ping" and "trace route" programs, and by

network monitoring and diagnostic programs.

• If checked, the IP-2000VPN will respond 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.

If enabled, PCs on the LAN can use VPN software to connect to remote clients via

the Internet connection. The protocols supported are:

• IPSec

IPSec protocol is used to establish a secure connection, and is widely used by

VPN (Virtual Private Networking) programs.

• PPTP

PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) is widely used by VPN (Virtual

Private Networking) programs.

• L2TP

L2TP is a protocol developed by Cisco for VPNs (Virtual Private Networks).

If enabled, fragmented IP packets are discarded, forcing re-transmission of these

IP packets

Block TCP Flood

Block UDP Flood

Block non-standard packets

packets. In some situations, this could prevent successful communication.

Normally, this setting should be disabled.

A TCP flood is excessively large number of TCP connection requests. This is

usually a DoS (Denial of Service) attack.

This setting should normally be enabled.

A UDP flood is excessively large number of UDP packets. This is usually a DoS

(Denial of Service) attack.

This setting should normally be enabled.

Abnormal packets are often used by hackers and in DoS attacks, but may also be

generated by incorrectly configured network devices. (PCs will normally not

generate non-standard packets.)

This setting should normally be enabled.

6.1 Common VPN Situations

VPN Pass-through

Here, a PC on the LAN behind the Router/Gateway is using VPN software, but the Router/Gateway is NOT

acting as a VPN endpoint. It is only allowing the VPN connection.

• The PC software can use any VPN protocol supported by the remote VPN.

• The remote VPN Server must support client PCs which are behind a NAT router, and so have an IP

address which is not valid on the Internet.

• The Router/Gateway requires no VPN configuration, since it is not acting as a VPN endpoint

Client-to-Office VPN Gateway

In this situation, the PC must run appropriate VPN client software in order to connect, via the Internet, to the

IP-2000VPN. Once connected, the client PC has the same access to LAN resources as PCs on the local LAN

(unless restricted by the network administrator).

• Windows 2000 and Windows XP include a suitable IPSec VPN client program. Configuration of this

client program for use with the IP-2000VPN is covered later in this document.

AirLive IP-2000VPN User’s Manual

Page 59

Office-to-Office VPN Gateway

This allows two (2) LANs to be connected. PCs on each endpoint gain secure access to the remote LAN.

• The 2 LANs MUST use different IP address ranges.

• The VPN Policies at each end determine when a VPN tunnel will be established, and what systems

on the remote LAN can be accessed once the VPN connection is established.

• It is possible to have simultaneous VPN connections to many remote sites.

2. Click Next to continue. You will see a screen like the following:

• For outgoing VPN connections, these settings determine which traffic will cause a VPN tunnel to be

created, and which traffic will be sent through the tunnel.

• For incoming VPN connections, these settings determine which systems on your local LAN will be

available to the remote endpoint.

• The 2 VPN endpoints MUST use different address ranges.

If the addresses were in the same range, traffic intended for the remote VPN would be considered

local LAN traffic. So it would not be forwarded to the Gateway.

Local IP addresses Type

• Any - no additional data is required. Any IP address is acceptable.

• For outgoing connections, this allows any PC on LAN to use the VPN tunnel.

• For incoming connections, this allows any PC using the remote endpoint to

Each CA also issues a certificate to itself. This Certificate is required in order to validate communication with

the CA. These certificates are called "Trusted Certificates."

The Certificates screen lists either the Trusted Certificates - the certificates of each CA itself - or Self Certificates - the certificates issued to you. Use the radio button in the Type section of the screen to choose which type of Certificate you wish to view.

Overview

Microsoft VPN uses the Microsoft VPN Adapter which is provided in recent versions of Windows. This

feature can be used to provide remote access to your LAN by individual PCs. This method provides an

alternative to using IPSec VPN, which is described in the previous chapter. Using Microsoft VPN provides

easier setup than using IPSec VPN.

The following Microsoft VPN configuration screens are provided:

• Server

• Clients

• Status

This section describes some examples of using the IP-2000VPN in common VPN situations.

It is used to create IPSec VPN tunnel between two offices’ sites, and encrypted the data for the access. When

the VPN tunnel is created, each user in the office can access another office’s data via VPN tunnel, so no more

VPN must be created by individual user.

Meanwhile, user could also need to access office’s data from home, so administrator must offer a secure

method for those users. PPTP VPN is a simple and secure choice, and most home users select to work with

it.

We offer several VPN examples for your reference, as the following the example, you will understand how to

configure the device and make the VPN tunnel working.
