CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Introduction to your Router

Welcome to the 3G/VoIP/802.11g/ADSL2+/VPN Firewall Router. The router is an “all-in-one” ADSL router, combining an ADSL modem, ADSL router and Ethernet network switch functionalities, providing everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over your ADSL broadband connection. With features such as an ADSL Quick-Start wizard and DHCP Server, you can be online in no time at all and with a minimum of fuss and configuration, catering for first-time users to the guru requiring advanced features and control over their Internet connection and network.

Features

Express Internet Access

The router complies with ADSL worldwide standards. It supports downstream rate up to 12/24 Mbps with ADSL2/2+, 8Mbps with ADSL. Users enjoy not only high-speed ADSL services but also broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much easier and faster than ever. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (ITU G.992.1); G.lite (ITU G.992.2); G.hs (ITU G994.1); G.dmt.bis (ITU G.992.3); G.dmt.bis.plus (ITU G.992.5)).

A 3G-based Internet connection (requires an additional 3G USB modem); with automatic fail-over to ensure an always-on Internet connection in the event that one of your Internet services fails. Secure WLAN setup is simplified by the web browser-based configuration for easy access to the Internet wherever a 3G connection is available - whether you're seated at your desk or taking a cross-country train trip.

802.11g Wireless AP with WPA Support

With integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point in the router, the device offers a quick and easy access among wired network, wireless network and broadband connection (ADSL) with single device simplicity, and as a result, mobility to the users. In addition to 54 Mbps 802.11g data rate, it also interoperates backward with existing 802.11b equipment. The Wireless Protected Access (WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK) and Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) supported features enhance the security level of data protection and access control via Wireless LAN.

Fast Ethernet Switch

A 4-port 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching between MDI and MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports. An Ethernet straight or crossover cable can be used directly for auto detection.

Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection

It supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation overATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with the ISP. The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

Quick Installation Wizard

It supports a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, end users can enter the information easily which they get from their ISP, then surf the Internet immediately.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal

This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices and PCs from many different vendors. It makes network simple and affordable for users. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, users can now connect to Net meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

Allows multi-users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateways (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.

SOHO Firewall Security with DoS and SPI

Along with the built-in NAT natural firewall feature, the router also provides advanced hacker pattern-filtering protection. It can automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The router is built with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to determine if a data packet is allowed through the firewall to the private LAN.

Domain Name System (DNS) Relay

It provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for users such as www.yahoo. com) and IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server with this router’s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router will be forwarded to the real DNS in the outside network.

Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use the service, you must first apply for an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/. More than 5 DDNS servers are supported.

Quality of Service (QoS)

QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the router, ensuring important data like gaming packets, customer information, or management information move through the router at lightning speed, even under heavy load. The QoS features are configurable by source IP address, destination IP address, protocol, and port. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router, to ensure P2P users don’t saturate upload bandwidth, or office browsing doesn’t bring client web serving to a halt. In addition, or alternatively, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds.

Virtual Server (“port forwarding”)

Users can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect incoming service requests and forward either a single port or a range of ports to the specific local computer to handle it. For example, a user can assign a PC in the LAN acting as a WEB server inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside web servers directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the outside network, Internet.

Billion 810VGTX Router

Rich Packet Filtering

Not only filters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will filter packets from and to the Internet, and also provides a higher level of security control.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server

In the WAN site, the DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate a range of client IP addresses and distribute them including IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP address to local computers. It provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.

Static and RIP1/2 Routing

It has routing capability and supports easy static routing table or RIP1/2 routing protocol.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP.

Web based GUI

It supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with on-line help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and manage this product.

Firmware Upgradeable

Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.

Rich Management Interfaces

It supports flexible management interfaces with local console port, LAN port, and WAN port. Users can use terminal applications through the console port to configure and manage the device, or Telnet, WEB GUI, and SNMP through LAN or WAN ports to configure and manage the device.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

It allows user to make a tunnel with a remote site directly to secure the data transmission among the connection. User can use embedded PPTP and L2TP client/server, IKE and IPSec which are supported by this router to make a VPN connection or users can run the PPTP client in PC and the router already provides IPSec and PPTP pass through function to establish a VPN connection if the user likes to run the PPTP client in his local computer.

Cabling

One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front panel of your router is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify if you are using the proper cables.

Make sure that all devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) connected to the same telephone line as your router have a line filter connected between them and the wall outlet (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and that all line filters are correctly installed in a right way. If line filter is not installed and connected properly, it may cause problem to your ADSL connection or may result in frequent disconnections.

CHAPTER 3: BASIC INSTALLATION

The router can be configured through your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me/Vista, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.

Please check your PC network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.

There are various ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater/hub or connect directly to your PC. However, make sure that your PC has an Ethernet interface properly installed prior to connecting the router. You must configure your PC to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 10.0.0.2 and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 10.0.0.100 to 10.0.0199). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router web interface it is advisable to uninstall your firewall program on your PC, as these tend to cause problems accessing the IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their network.

Please follow the following steps to configure your network environment.

WPS

The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature is a standard protocol created by Wi-Fi Alliance. This protocol is used to build a Wi-Fi network within a home / small office environment in an easy and secured manner. This feature thus provides a much simplified method to configure Wi-Fi Protected Access to those who know very little about wireless security.

Port Setting

This section allows you to configure the settings for the router’s Ethernet ports to solve some compatibility problems that may be encountered while connecting to the Internet, as well as allowing users to tweak the performance of their network.

Port # Connection Type: There are six options to choose from: Auto, disable, 10M half-duplex, 10M full-duplex, 100M half-duplex, 100M full-duplex and Disable. Sometimes, there are Ethernet compatibility problems with legacy Ethernet devices, and you can configure different types to solve compatibility issues. The default is Auto, which users should keep unless they have specific problems with PCs not being able to access your network.

IPv4 TOS priority Control (Advanced users): TOS, Type of Services, is the 2nd octet of an IP packet. Bits 6-7 of this octet are reserved and bit 0-5 are used to specify the priority of the packet.

This feature uses bits 0-5 to classify the packet’s priority. If the packet priority is set as high, its transmission will be given the first priority and will not be constrained by the Rate Limit. Therefore, when this feature is enabled, the router’s

Ethernet switch will first check the 2

octet of each IP packet. If the value in the TOS field matches the values checked

in the table (0 to 63), this packet will be treated as high priority.

DHCP Server

You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or enable the router’s DHCP relay functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to dynamically assign IP addresses to the PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP addresses automatically.

To disable the router DHCP Server, check Disabled and click Next, then click Apply. When the DHCP Server is disabled you will need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each PC on your network, and set the default gateway for each PC to the IP address of the router (by default this is 10.0.0.2).

To configure the router DHCP Server, check DHCP Server and click next. You can then configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and ending IP address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP address (the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the gateway IP address. These details are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from the DHCP server. Click Apply to enable this function. If you check Use Router as a DNS Server”, the ADSL Router will perform the domain name lookup, find the IP address from the outside network automatically and forward it back to the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network).

If you check DHCP Relay Agent and click Next, then you will have to enter the IP address of the DHCP server which will assign an IP address back to the DHCP client in the LAN. Use this function only if advised to do so by your network administrator or ISP.

Click Apply to enable this function.

Coding Gain: It reduces the router’s transmit power which will affect the router’s downstream performance. Making the gain Higher will increase the downstream rate but might cause your ADSL line to be unstable. The configurable ADSL coding gain is from 0 dB to 7dB, or automatic.

Tx Attenuation: It is the amount of power that the modem (upstream) or DSLAM (downstream) is using. The lower the power the better the performance will be during modem upstream.

System

Here are the items within the System section: Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore,

Restart and User Management.

Time Zone

The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from a SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify a SNTP server other than those in the list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide a SNTP server for you to use.

Daylight Saving is also known as Summer Time Period. Many places in the world adapt it during summer time to move one hour of daylight from morning to the evening in local standard time. Check Enable checkbox to set your local time.

Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router will wait before it re-synchronizes the router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. In order to avoid unnecessarily increasing the load on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the absolute minimum every few hours or even days.

Page | 52

Page 54

Billion 810VGTX Router

Remote Access

This feature enables a system administrator to set the time interval where the router can be accessed for administration purpose from a remote site (i.e. from outside your LAN).

If you wish to permanently enable remote access, set the time period to 0 minute.

Firmware Upgrade

Your router firmware is the software that enables it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software it runs. Over time this software may be improved and revised, and your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes.

Clicking on Browse will allow you to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded to your PC. Once the correct file is selected, click Upgrade to update the firmware in your router.

Warning

Backup / Restore

Billion 810VGTX Router

This function allows you to save a backup of the current configuration of your router to a file on your PC, or to restore a previously saved configuration. This is very useful if you wish to customize the settings of the router, knowing in advance that you can always restore the settings if any mistakes are made. Therefore, it is advisable that you create a backup of the configuration of your router before customizing its configuration.

Create a Router Configuration Backup: To create a backup of the settings, simply click the Backup button and specify the location on your computer to save your

configuration file. You may also change the name of the file if you wish to keep multiple backups. Restoring the Router Configuration To restore the configuration of the router, click Browse to locate the configuration file on your computer. Once the file has

been located, click on the file then click on the Restore button to load the setting.

Note: You should only restore the settings with files that have been created using the Backup function with the most current firmware version. Settings files saved to your PC should not be manually edited in any way.

Restart Router

Click Restart with the option of Current Settings to reboot your router (and restore your last saved configuration).

If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory default settings.

You may also reset your router to factory settings by holding the small Reset pinhole button for longer than 6 seconds on the back of your router.

Caution: After pressing the RESET button for more than 6 seconds, be sure to power cycle the device again.

Firewall and Access Control

Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall to control Internet access on your network. This feature also protects your system from being attacked by hackers. When using NAT, the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, as all PCs on your LAN will have their own private IP address which is not directly accessible from the Internet. The router provides three levels of security support.

NAT natural firewall: This masks LAN users’ IP addresses which are invisible to users on the Internet, thus making it more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural firewall is turned on when the NAT function is enabled.

Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules to prevent unauthorized computers or applications from accessing your local network from the Internet.

Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent and log malicious attacks. Access Control: Prevent access from computers on your local network: Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Outbound direction of Packet Filter rules to prevent unauthorized

computers or applications from accessing the Internet. URL Filter: To block computers on your local network from unwanted websites.

to unknown users if specific ports are opened in the firewall packet filter setting. The degree of exposure depends on the parameter set in the Virtual Server setting.

The items under the Firewall section are: General Settings, Packet Filter, Intrusion Detection, URL Filter, IM/P2P Blocking and Firewall Log.

General Settings

You can choose to disable Firewall and still be able to access the URL Filter and IM/P2P Blocking or enable the Firewall using the preset filter rules and modify the port filter rules as required. The Packet Filter is used to filter packets based on Applications (Port) or IP addresses.

There are four policy options to choose from:

All blocked/User-defined: no predefined port or address filter rules by default, meaning that all inbound (Internet to LAN) and outbound (LAN to Internet) packets will be blocked. Users have to add their own filter rules to access the Internet.

High/Medium/Low security level: the predefined port filter rules for High, Medium and Low

security are

displayed in the Port Filters of the Packet Filter.

Select either High, Medium or Low security level to enable Firewall protection. The only difference between these three is the preset port filter rules in the Packet Filter. Firewall function is the same for all levels; it is only the list of preset port filters that changes between each setting. For more detail on level of preset port filter information, please refer to Table 1: Predefined Port Filter.

If you choose the preset security levels and add custom filters, the level of filter rules will be saved and you do not need to re-configure the rules again if you disable or switch to the other security level.

The “Block WAN Request” is a standalone function that is not affected by whether the security is enabled or disabled. This is used to prevent any scan tools that might come from hackers.

Intrusion Detection

Billion 810VGTX Router

The router Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker’s attacks, and intrusion attempts from the Internet. If the IDS function of the firewall is enabled, inbound packets are filtered and blocked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks, intrusion attempts or other connections that the router determines to be suspicious.

Blacklist: If the router detects a possible attack, the source IP or destination IP address will be added to the Blacklist. Any further attempts to use this IP address will be blocked for the time period specified in the Block Duration. The default setting for this function is false (disabled). Some types of attacks are denied immediately without using the Blacklist function, such as Land attack and Echo/CharGen scan.

Intrusion Detection: If enabled, IDS will block Smurf attack attempts. Default is ‘Disable’ Block Duration:

Victim Protection Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking Smurf attacks. Default value is 600

seconds. Scan Attack Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible Scan attack. Scan

attack types include X’mas scan, IMAP SYN/FIN scan and similar attempts. Default value is 86400 seconds. DoS Attack Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible Denial of Service

(DoS) attack. Possible DoS attacks that are blocked include Ascend Kill and WinNuke. Default value is 1800 seconds.

Max TCP Open Handshaking Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether a SYN Flood attempt is occurring or not. Default value is 100 TCP SYN per seconds.

Max PING Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether an ICMP Echo Storm is occurring or not. Default value is 15 ICMP Echo Requests (PINGS) per second.

Max ICMP Count: This is a threshold to decide whether an ICMP flood is occurring or not. Default value is 100 ICMP packets per second except ICMP Echo Requests (PING).

For SYN Flood, ICMP Echo Storm and ICMP flood, IDS will just warn the user in the Event Log. It cannot protect against such attacks.

URL Filter

URL (Uniform Resource Locator) (e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http:// www.example.com) filter rule allows you to prevent users on your network from accessing specific websites defined by their URL. There are no predefined URL filter rules, therefore you can add filter rules to meet your requirements.

Enable/Disable: Select to enable or disable URL Filter feature. Block Mode: A list of the modes that you can choose from to check the URL filter rules. The default is set to Always On.

Disabled: No action will be performed by the Block Mode. Always On: Action is enabled. URL filter rules will be monitoring and checking at all hours of TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: It is a self defined time period. You may specify the time period to check the URL

filter rules, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.

Keywords Filtering: Allow blocking against specific keywords within a particular URL rather than having to specify a

complete URL (e.g. to block any image called “advertisement.gif”). When enabled, your specified keywords list will be checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Please note that the URL filter blocks web browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only.

For example, if the URL is http://www.abc.com/abcde.html, the connection will be dropped if the keyword “abcde” occurs in the URL.

Domains Filtering: This function checks the whole URL address but not the IP address against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will either be sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). For this function to be activated, both the enable and disable checkboxes of Domain Filtering must be checked. Here is the checking procedure:

1. Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the connection attempt is sent to the remote web server.

2. If not, check if it is listed in the forbidden list. If yes, then the connection attempt will be dropped.

3. If the packet does not match either of the above two conditions, it is sent to the remote web server.

4. Please note that the completed URL, “www” + domain name should be specific. e.g.: In order to block traffic to www.google.com.au, enter “www.google” or “www.google.com”

In the example below, the URL request for www.abc.com will be sent to the remote web server because it is listed in the trusted list, whilst the URL request for www.google or www.google.com will be dropped, because www.google is in the forbidden list.

Example:

Andy wishes to disable all WEB traffic except for domains listed under the trusted domains, which would prevent Bobby from accessing other websites. Andy selects both conditions in Domain Filtering thinking that this will stop Bobby. Bobby knows the Domain Filtering function; it ONLY disables all WEB traffic to Trusted Domains, BUT not its IP address. If this is the situation, the Block surfing by IP address function can be helpful. Now, Andy can successfully prevent Bobby from accessing other websites.

Restrict URL Features: This function enhances the restrictions to your URL rules.

IM / P2P Blocking

IM, short for Instant Message, is client software that allows users to communicate & exchange text messages with other IM users in real time over the Internet. A P2P application, known as Peer- to-peer, is a group of users who share files with each other over the Internet. Both Instant Message and Peer-to-peer applications make communication faster and easier but your network may become increasingly insecure. Billion’s IM and P2P blocking helps users by restricting LAN PCs from accessing the commonly used IM (Yahoo and MSN), and P2P (BitTorrent and eDonkey) applications over the Internet.

Instant Message Blocking: The default is set to Disabled.

Disabled: Instant Message blocking is not enabled. No action will be taken. Always On: Instant Message blocking is enabled. IM messages will be blocked. TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: This is the self defined time period. You may specify the time period to activate

blocking, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to the Time Schedule section.

Yahoo/MSN Messenger: Check the checkbox to block either Yahoo or/and MSN Messenger or both. Be sure to enable the Instant Message Blocking first.

Peer to Peer Blocking: The default is set to Disabled. Disabled: Peer to Peer blocking is not enabled. No action will be taken. Always On: Peer to Peer blocking is enabled. P2P will be blocked. TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: This is the self defined time period. You may specify the time period to activate

blocking, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.

Password: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the password provided by your Host. If you are a Dial-In user (server), enter your own password.

Authentication Type: Default is Auto if you want the router to automatically determine the authentication type to use. If you know which authentication type the server is using (when acting as a client), you may manually specify the Authentication type whether CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP (Password Authentication Protocol). When acting as a server, you can set the authentication type you want the clients connecting to you to use. When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, while CHAP encrypts the password before sending it.

Key Length: The data can be encrypted by MPPE algorithm with 40 bits or 128 bits. Default is Auto, it is negotiated when establishing a connection. 128 bit keys provide a stronger encryption than 40 bit keys.

Mode: You may select Stateful or Stateless mode. The key will be changed every 256 packets when you select Stateful mode. If you select Stateless mode, the key will be changed in each packet.

Pre-shared Key: This is for the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, a string from 4 to 128 characters. Both sides should use the same key. IKE is used to establish a shared security policy and authenticated keys for services (such as IPSec) that require a key. Before any IPSec traffic can be passed, each router must be able to verify the identity of its peer. This can be done by manually entering the pre-shared key into both sides (router or hosts).

Local ID:

Content: Input ID’s information, like domain name www.ipsectest.com.

Remote ID:

Hash Function: It is a Message Digest algorithm which coverts any length of a message into a unique set of bits.

It is widely used MD5 (Message Digest) and SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) algorithms. SHA1 is more resistant to brute-force attacks than MD5, however it is slower.

MD5: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128−bit hash. SHA1: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 160−bit hash

Encryption: Select the encryption method from the pull-down menu. There are several options, DES, 3DES and AES

(128, 192 and 256). 3DES and AES are more powerful but increase latency.

DES: Stands for Data Encryption Standard, it uses 56 bits as an encryption method. 3DES: Stands for Triple Data Encryption Standard, it uses 168 (56*3) bits as an encryption method. AES: Stands for Advanced Encryption Standards, you can use 128, 192 or 256 bits as an encryption

method.

Diffie-Hellman Group: It is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared secret over an unsecured communication channel (i.e. over the Internet). There are three modes, MODP 768-bit, MODP 1024-bit and MODP 1536-bit. MODP stands for Modular Exponentiation Groups.

IPSec Proposal: Select the IPSec security method. There are two methods of checking the authentication information, AH (authentication header) and ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload). Use ESP for greater security so that data will be encrypted and authenticated. Using AH data will be authenticated but not encrypted.

Identifier: Input remote ID’s information, like domain name ww.ipsectest.com

Authentication: Authentication establishes the integrity of the datagram and ensures it is not tampered with in

transmit. There are three options, Message Digest 5 (MD5), Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA1) or NONE. SHA1 is more resistant to brute-force attacks than MD5, however it is slower.

MD5: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128−bit hash. SHA1: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 160−bit hash

Encryption: Select the encryption method from the pull-down menu. There are several options, DES, 3DES, AES

(128, 192 and 256) and NULL. NULL means it is a tunnel with no encryption. 3DES and AES are more powerful but increase latency.

Perfect Forward Secrecy: Choose whether to enable PFS using Diffie-Hellman public-key cryptography to change

encryption keys during the second phase of VPN negotiation. This function of a cryptography protocol is to allow two parties to establish a shared secret over an unsecured communication channel (i.e. over the Internet). There are three modes, MODP 768-bit, MODP 1024-bit and MODP 1536-bit. MODP stands for Modular Exponentiation Groups.

SA Lifetime: Specify the number of minutes that a Security Association (SA) will stay active before new encryption and authentication keys will be exchanged. There are two kinds of SAs, IKE and IPSec. IKE negotiates and establishes SA on behalf of IPSec; an IKE SA is used by IKE.

Phase 1 (IKE): To issue an initial connection request for a new VPN tunnel. The range can 15,000 minutes, and the default is 480 minutes.

Phase 2 (IPSec): To negotiate and establish secure authentication. The range can be from 5 and the default is 60 minutes.

A short SA time increases security by forcing the two parties to update the keys. However, every time the VPN tunnel re-negotiates, access through the tunnel will be temporarily disconnected.

be from 5 to

to 15,000 minutes,

PING for Keep Alive:

None: The default setting is ‘None’. In this mode, it will not detect if the remote IPSec peer has been lost or not.

It follows the policy of Disconnection time after no traffic, which the remote IPSec will be disconnected after the time you set in this function.

PING: This mode will detect if the remote IPSec peer has been lost or not by pinging the specified IP address. DPD: Dead peer detection (DPD) is a keep alive mechanism that enables the router to be detected when the

connection between the router and a remote IPSec peer has been lost. Please note, it must be enabled on both sites.

PING to the IP: It is able to Ping the remote PC with the specified IP address and alert if the connection fails. Once an alert message is received, the router will drop this tunnel connection. Re-establishment of this connection is required. Default setting is 0.0.0.0 which disables the function.

Interval: This sets the time interval between Pings to the IP function to monitor the connection status. Default interval setting is 10 seconds. Time interval can be set from 0 to 3600 second, 0 second disables the function.

Ping to the IP Interval (sec) Ping to the IP Action

0.0.0.0 0

0.0.0.0 2000

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (A valid IP Address) 0

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (A valid IP Address)

Disconnection Time after no traffic: It is the NO Response time clock. When no traffic stage time is beyond the Disconnection time set, Router will automatically halt the tunnel connection and re-establish it base on the Reconnection Time set. 180 seconds is minimum time interval for this function.

Reconnection Time: It is the reconnecting time interval after NO TRAFFIC is initiated. 3 minutes is minimum time interval for this function.

completing your VoIP configuration. This is to ensure that your VoIP is activated.

This section provides easy setup for your VoIP service. Phone port 1 and 2 can be registered to different SIP Service Providers.

SIP Device Parameters SIP: To use VoIP SIP as VoIP call signaling protocol. Default is set to ‘Disable’. Silence Suppression (VAD): Voice Activation Detection (VAD) prevents transmitting the nature silence to consume

the bandwidth. It is also known as Silence Suppression which is a software application that ensures the bandwidth is reserved only when voice activity is activated. Default is set to ‘Enable’.

Billion 810VGTX Router

Echo Cancellation: G.168 echo canceller is an ITU-T standard. It is used to isolate the echo while you are on the phone. This helps you not hear your own voice on the phone while you talk. Default is set to ‘Enable’.

RTP Port: Provides the base value from the media (RTP) ports that are assigned for various endpoints and the different call sessions that may exist within an end-point. (Range from 5100 to 65535, default value is 5100)

Region: This selection is a drop-down box, which allows a user to select the country in which the VoIP device is active. When a country is selected, the country parameters are automatically loaded.

Voice QoS, DSCP Marking: Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), it is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte. DSCP Marking allows users to assign specific application traffic to be executed in priority by the next Router based on the DSCP value. See Table 4. The DSCP Mapping Table:

Note: Be sure that the router(s) in the backbone network have the ability to execute and check the DSCP markings through-out the QoS network.

Advanced – Parameters

VoIP through IP Interface: IP Interface decides where to send/receive the VoIP traffic; it includes: ipwan and iplan. Easy way to select the interface is to check the location of the SIP server. If it is located somewhere on the Internet then select ipwan. If the VoIP SIP server is on the local Network then select iplan.

Voice Frame Size: Frame size is available from 10ms to 60ms. Frame size meaning how many milliseconds the Voice packets will be queued and sent out. It is ideal to have the same frame size on both Caller and Receiver.

Dial Plan Priority: Define the priority between VoIP and PSTN dial plan. PSTN Auto-fallback: Whenever VoIP SIP responds with an error or an error code matching the codes in the Edit

section, the VoIP calls will automatically fallback to PSTN. In other words, the call will be made via the PSTN when VoIP SIP returns an error code.

Click ‘Edit’ to add or remove response codes. Be sure that the codes are separated by a comma (,). For more information about SIP response codes, please go to this link http://voip-info.

Advanced – PSTN Environment Adjustment

PSTN Environment Adjustment options will help you to adjust the onhook and offhook voltage detection values for your environment. You should use these if the default values are incorrect and result in PSTN calls not being detected properly, e.g. calls being terminated within 5 seconds of being answered. The actual levels are determined by your environment including the number and type of telephones used.

Note: ONHOOK means hung up.

To take your phone OFFHOOK, lift the receiver then press Hook/Flash until you hear your normal PSTN dial tone, and not your VoIP dial tone. Wait several seconds and then press Check Level.

You should check the OFFHOOK value for each telephone you have connected to this device. Set the OFFHOOK voltage to the lowest setting registered for all your telephones, e.g. if your telephones return values of 4, 5 and 7 then you should set your OFFHOOK voltage to 4.

Note: The detected values will not automatically be set by the Check Level function; you must enter the lowest level detected after testing all your telephones.
