For the LAN Configuration, there are two types that you have to know, IP Address and DHCP Server.

ADSL Router User Manual

IP Address

LAN Configuration allows you to define the public/private IP address over the LAN interface. Primary IP Address: Private IP address is used for the purpose of system management. When it is assigned, PC on

the LAN is able to use the specified address to access this ADSL Router through Ethernet. By default, the IP address and subnet mask is 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0 respectively. This

will give you an available range of IP addresses from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 that can be assigned to PCs on the LAN.

Secondary IP Address:If you applied for multiple IP address from your ISP, you will have a range of IP address for

the ADSL Router and other network devices on the LAN. You can fill in the IP address assigned by ISP in the public IP address field.

DHCP Server

This page allows you to enable DHCP server on LAN interface and then your router can assign IP addresses to those PCs connected to your router.

The ADSL Router implements a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which dynamically assigns IP addresses and DNS server to the PCs on the LAN. DHCP function spares yo u the hassle of manually assigning a fixed IP address to each PC on the LAN. It is probably you already have a DHCP server on your network and you do not enable this function. By default the DHCP Server is enabled on private LAN interface (192.168.1.0).

Chapter 4 Web Configuration

DHCP lease time: Specify the time that a network device can lease a private IP address before the ADSL Router

reassigning the IP address.

Default Gateway: You check the Report this host as the default gateway box to use this host as the default

gateway or fill in an IP address as the default gateway.

Domain Name Servers: You can check the Report this host as the DNS server box to use this host as the default

DNS. Or you can uncheck the box and manually set up the DNS IP address in the Primary/Secondary DNS IP address fields. The DNS server addresses will be passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP addresses. The DHCP clients use the DNS to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa.

Basic Setup

Wireless SSID (Service Set Identity): A name that uniquely identifies a wireless domain. All wireless clients that

want to communicate with the ADSL Router must have the same SSID as it.

Frequency Domain: The frequency in which the radio links are about to be established. Desired Channel: The frequency in which the radio links are about to be establis hed. Select channel that you

want. Usually the wireless clients will scan the whole operable channels and then select the desired communications channel automatically.

Authentication Type: The ADSL Router supports three authentication types: Open System, Shared key and Auto.

This should be considered with the WEP(Wired Equivalent Privacy) mechanism.

Chapter 4 Web Configuration

Wired Equivalent Privacy Mechanism

The privacy security function can enhance wireless media security by encryption technology. All wireless clients must set the same encryption key to maintain the tightened communication with the ADSL Router properly. The Authenticate Algorithm options are:

When the wired Equivalent Privacy Mechanism is Turns off. Using Open-key as authentication algorithm, you are running the risk of allowing some unauthorized wireless LAN cards that have the capability of eavesdropping your SSID to associate itself to the device.

Turns on encryption. Wired Equivalent Privacy Mechanism is Turns on. You should select the encryption key length as 64 or 128 bit key. Then enter the encryption key in Key Entry fields.

Note: When Wired Equivalent Privacy Mechanism is enabled, the wireless client must be configured with exactly the same encryption level (64 or 128-bit) and encryption key as identified in the ADSL Router, so that access to the unit is allowed.

Association Control

You can enable this control to associate to your router with other wireless clients.

You can add a new client for associating to the router. Click Add a new client to get into another page. Enter the MAC address for the new wireless LAN clent and click Apply.

6. If you are using PPP configuration mode, you need to fill in the user name and password and you can set the

PPP session to Dial on demand or Always on mode.

The parameters are described as below: VPI (Virtual Path Identifier): Identifies the virtual path between endpoints in an ATM network. The valid range is

from 0 to 255.

VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier): Identifies the virtual channel endpoints in an ATM network. The valid range is

from 32 to 4095 (1 to 31 is reserved for well-known protocols).

ATM Service Type: Currently, the ADSL Router supports the UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate) service type. PCR (Peak Cell Rate): Specify the PCR cells per second. Encapsulation Type: There are two types for your choosing, VC MUX or LLC/SNAP. Select the encapsulation

based on the setting of the ISP. Consult your ISP for this information.

Local WAN IP Address: On Router mode, selecting None means you have public LAN IP address setting. If you

select Specify an IP address, you can specify a WAN IP provided by ISP for your router. If Server assigned IP address is selected, the router will get a dynamic WAN IP address whenever it connects to the remote server or ISP.

Note: If a fixed WAN IP is entered, note that this IP address and the subnet mask could not be the same with the public LAN interface.

Enable NAT on this infterface: If your LAN interface is set on primary LAN you should check the box of the

Enable Network Address Translation. NAT translates a private IP within one network to a public IP address.

User Name/Password: The user name and password used to access the remote server or ISP.

ADSL Router User Manual

Dial On Demand: If checked, under disconnected status, if any client PC sends out request for connection, the

ADSL Router will dial the ISP automatically. In this case, if the system administrator wants to disconnect the PPP session, just click the Disconnect button at Quick Start page.

Always On: Enabling this feature will send echo request to ISP. This prevents the connection from being

hung up by ISP. The parameters for PPPoE configuration are generally the same as those of PPPoA. The additional parameters are:

Service Name: Enter the name of your PPPoE service here. Service Server: Enter the name of your PPPoE service server here.

Note: When you initially add an PVC for the PPP connection and connec t to ISP, a default routing of 0.0.0.0 is added automatically to the IP Static Routing. If you set up more than one PVC profiles and the first PVC is deleted, then you have to manually add the default routing.

This page shows all virtual server rules co nfigured in your ADSL Router.

The Router implements NAT to let your entire local network appear as a single machine to the Internet. The typical situation is that you have local servers for different services and you want to make them publicly accessible. With NAT applied, it will translate the inter nal IP addresses of these servers to a single IP address that is unique on the Internet. NAT function not only eliminates the need for multiple public IP addresses but also provides a measure of security for your LAN.

When the router receives an incoming IP packet requesting for access to your local server, the router will recognize the service type according to the port number in this packet (e.g., port 80 indicates HTTP service and port 21

ADSL Router User Manual

indicates FTP service). By specifying the port number, you tell the router which service should be forwarded to the local IP address you specify.

After you setting the virtual server you should modify the filter rule whichever port and service you set on virtual server. Because the firewall has protect the route by filter rule so that you should update the filter rule after you set up virtual server.

Protocol: Select a protocol type used by the service that will be forwarded. TCP/IP Port: The Router supports port mapping function that translates a standard port number to a non-

standard number. Incoming data packets sent to a specific IP port can be mapped to the port you specify. The most often used port numbers include: 21 (FTP), 80 (HTTP), 23 (Telnet) and 25(SMTP)

IP Address: Specify the internal IP address to which the packets are forwarded.

In the virtual server list table, you may select required entry to modify or delete it by clicking Modify or Delete. In order to add new virtual server service entry, click Create a new server button.

Then follow the steps below:

1. Select the ATM PVC interface.

2. Select the protocol type from the drop-down list.

3. Select a service in TCP /IP Port field and enter the port number you want to use.

4. Enter the IP address of the internal server in the IP Address filed.

5. Click Apply to commit the setting.

If the suggested solutions in this section do not resolve your issue, contact your syste m administrator or Internet service provider.

Problems with LAN

PCs on th e LAN can no t get IP addresses fro m the ADSL Router.

The chances are that the interface used as DHCP server is modified and the client PCs do not renew IP addresses. If your DHCP server is enabled on Private IP Address previously and you modify the interface to Public IP Address,

the client PCs should renew IP addresses.

The PC on the LAN canno t a ccess the We b page of the ADSL Router.

Check that your PC is on the same subnet with the ADSL Router.

The virtual server can’t be access after setting virtual server.

Check the filter rule of the port that virtual server service setting for example, the virtual server service set FTP 21 you need update the filter rule of the ftp 21 Direction setting: Choose filter the packets that incoming action (In Bound) are Allow on the interface.

Problems with WAN

You cann ot access the Internet.

 If your ADSL Router is set to r outing mode and you use privat e IP addresses o n the LAN, go to WAN

Configuration > ATM PVC > Setup the ATM PVC Interface page. Make sure that Enable network address Translation (NAT) is checked.

 Check the IP settings:

Go to LAN Configuration > IP Address page, ensure you specify IP address on Public IP Address field.

Or go to WAN Configuration > ATM P VC > Setup the ATM PVC Interface page, ensure you specify IP address on Specified Local WAN IP address field

 Check the physical connection between the ADSL Router and the LAN.

If the DSL LED on the front panel is off or keeps blinking, there may be problem on the cable connecting to the ADSL Router.

At the DOS prompt, ping the IP address of the ADSL Router, e.g, ping 192.168.1.1. If the following response occurs:

Relay from 192.168.1.1 bytes=32 time=100ms TTL=253

Then the connection between the ADSL Router and the network is OK. If you get a failed ping with the response of:

Request time out

Then the connection is fail. Check the cable between the ADSL Router and the network.

 Check the DNS setting of the ADSL Router.

At the DOS prompt, ping the IP address of the DNS provided by your ISP. For example, if your DNS IP is

168.95.1.1, then ping 168.95.1.1. If the following response occurs:

Relay from 168.65.1.1 bytes=32 time=100ms TTL=253

Then the connection to the DNS is OK.

ADSL Router User Manual

If you get a failed ping with the response of:

Request time out

Then the DNS is not reachable. Check your DNS setting on the ADSL Router.

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol )

ARP is a TCP/IP protocol for mapping an IP address to a physical machine address that is recognized in the local network, such as an Ethernet address.

A host wishing to obtain a physical address broadcasts an ARP request onto the TCP/IP network. The host on the network that has the IP address in the request then replies with its physical hardware address.

Inverse ARP (In-ARP), on the other hand, is used by a host to discover its IP address. In this case, the host broadcasts its physical address and a RARP server replies with the host's IP address.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

When operates as a DHCP server, the ADSL Router ass ign IP addresses to the client PCs on the LAN. The client PCs “leases” these Pr ivate IP addresses for a user-defined amount of time. After the lease time expires, the private IP address is made available for assigning to other network devices.

The DHCP IP address can be a single, fixed public IP address, an ISP assigned public IP addres s, or a private IP address.

If you enable DHCP server on a private IP address, a public IP address will have to be assigned to the NAT IP address, and NAT has to be enabled so that the DHCP IP address can be translated into a public IP address. By this, the client PCs are able to access the Internet.

LAN (Local Area Network) & WAN (Wide A rea Network)

A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the s ame building or floor of a building. A WAN, on the other hand, is an outside connection to another network or the Internet.

The Ethernet side of the ADSL Router is called the LAN port. I t is a twiste d-pair Ethernet 10Base-T interface. A hub can be connected to the LAN port. More than one computers, such as server or printer, can be connected through this hub to the ADSL Router and composes a LAN.

The DSL port of the ADSL Router composes the WAN interface, which supports PPP or RFC 1483 connecting to another remote DSL device.

NAT (Network Address Translation) IP Address

NAT is an Internet standard that translates a private IP within one network to a public IP address, either a static or dynamic one. NAT provides a type of firewall by hiding internal IP addresses. It also enables a company to use more internal IP addresses.

If the IP addresses given by your ISP are not enough for each PC on the LAN and the ADSL Router, you need to use NAT. With NAT, you make up a private IP network for the LAN and assign an IP address from that network to each PC. One of some public addresses is configured and mapped to a private workstation addr ess when accesses are made through the gateway to a public network.

For example, the ADSL Router is assigned with the public IP address of 168.111.2.1. With NAT enabled, it creates a Virtual LAN. Each PC on the Virtual LAN is assigned with a privat e IP address with default value of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.2.254. These PCs are not accessible by the outside word but they can communicate with the outs ide world through the public IP

168.111.2.1.

ADSL Router User Manual

Private IP Address

Private IP addresses are also LAN IP addresses, but are considered “illegal” IP addresses to the Inter net . They are p riv ate to an en ter pris e w hile sti ll pe rmit tin g f ull n etw or k laye r c onne ct ivity between all hosts inside an enterprise as well as all public ho sts of different enterprises.

The ADSL Router uses private IP addresses by assigning them to the LAN that c a nnot be directly accessed by the Internet or remote server. To access the Internet, private network should have an agent to translate the private IP address to public IP address.

Public IP Address

Public IP addresses are LAN IP addresses that can be considered “legal” for the Internet, because they can be recognized and accessed by any device on the other side of the DSL connection. In most cases they are allocated by your ISP.

If you are given a range of fixed IP addresses, then one can be assigned to the router and the others to network devices on the LAN, such as computer workstations, ftp servers, and web servers.

PVC (Permane nt V irtual Circuit)

A PVC is a logical point-to-point circuit between customer sites. PVCs are low-delay circuits because routing decisions do not need to be made along the way. Permanent means that the circuit is preprogrammed by the carrier as a path through the networ k. It does not nee d to be set up or torn down for each session.

RIP (Routing Information Protocol)

RIP is a routing protocol that uses the distance-vector routing algorithms to calculate leasthops routes to a destin ation. It is used on the Internet and is common in the NetWare environment. It exchanges routing information with other routers. I t includes V1, V2 and V1&V2, which controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets over Ethernet.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol)

UDP is a connectionless transport service that dispenses with the reliability services provided by TCP. UDP gives applications a direct interface with IP and the ability to addr ess a par ticular application process running on a hos t via a por t number without setting up a connection session.

Virtual Server

You can designate virtual servers, e.g., a FTP, web, telnet or mail server, on your local network and make them accessible to the outside world. A virtual server me ans that it is not a dedicated server -- that is, the entire computer is not dedicated to running on the public network but in the private network.

VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) & VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier)

A VPI is a 8-bit field while VCI is a 16-bit field in the ATM cell header. A VPI identifies a link formed by a virtual path and a VCI identifies a channel within a virtual path. In this way, the cells belonging to the same connection can be distinguished. A unique and separate VPI/VCI identifier is assigned in advance to indicate which type of cell is following, unassigned cells, physical layer OAM cells, metasignalling channel or a generic broadcast signaling channel. Your ISP should supply you with the values.
