Chapter 1: Introduction

Introduction to your Router

Welcome to the VoIP/ 802.11g ADSL2+ 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 first­time users to the guru requiring advanced features and control over their Internet connection and
network.

Features

)

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)).

) 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

Express Internet Access

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

1

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 gateway (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 pattern­filtering 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 ay 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.

2

)

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.

) 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 on­line 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.

Cabling

One of the most common causes of problem 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 ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater hub or connect directly
to your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior
to connecting the router device. You ought to configure your PCs 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 192.168.1.254 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 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253).
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 problem accessing the router web interface it is advisable to
uninstall your firewall program on your PCs, as they can 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 PC network environment.

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 there are specific
problems with PCs not being able to access your LAN.

nd

IPv4 TOS priority Control (Advanced users): TOS, Type of Services, is the 2

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 is high priority, it will flow
first and will not be constrained by the Rate Limit. Therefore, when this feature is enabled, the

nd

router’s Ethernet switch will check the 2

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

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

45

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 PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP addresses automatically.

To disable the router’s 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 PCs on your
network, and set the default gateway for each PCs to the IP address of the router (by default this is

192.168.1.254).

To configure the router’s 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.

55

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 an 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 an SNTP server other than those in the list, simply enter its IP address as shown above.
Your ISP may provide an 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 box 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.

56

Remote Access

To temporarily permit remote administration of the router (i.e. from outside your LAN), select a time
period the router will permit remote access for and click Enable. You may change other configuration
options for the web administration interface using Device Management options in the Advanced
section of the GUI.

If you wish to permanently enable remote access, choose a time period of 0

minute.

Firmware Upgrade

Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows 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.

57

Backup / Restore

These functions allow you to save and backup your router’s current settings to a file on your PC, or
to restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings,
knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes. It is advisable to backup your
router’s settings before making any significant changes to your router’s configuration.

Press Backup to select where on your local PC to save the settings file. You may also change the
name of the file when saving if you wish to keep multiple backups.

Press Browse to select a file from your PC to restore. You should only restore settings files that have
been generated by the Backup function, and that were created when using the current version of the
router’s firmware. Settings files saved to your PC should not be manually edited in any way.

After selecting the settings file you wish to use, pressing Restore will load those settings into the
router.

58

Restart Router

Click Restart with option 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 more
than 6 seconds on the back of your router.

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

59

User Management

In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router’s configuration interface, it requires all users
to login with a password. You can set up multiple user accounts, each with their own password.

You are able to Edit existing users and Add new users who are able to access the device’s configuration
interface. Once you have clicked on Edit, you are shown the following options:

You can change the user’s password, whether their account is active and valid, as well as add a
comment to each user account. Click Edit/Delete button to save your revise. You cannot delete
the default admin account, if you do you will be log out. However, you can delete any other created
accounts by clicking Delete when editing the user. You are strongly advised to change the password
on the default “admin” account when you receive your router, and any time you reset your configuration
to Factory Defaults.

60

When you create a user account, check Valid box and fill in the respective information for User,
Comment, Password and Confirm Password in the blanks provided. Then click the Add button to
add your new user account.

To delete a user account, click on the Delete radio button on the right column of the account
you wish to delete and then click the Edit/Delete button on the top to confirm your deletion.

61

Firewall and Access Control

Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access
from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. Besides, when using NAT, the
router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, as all PCs on your LAN will use private IP addresses
that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.

Firewall: Prevent outsiders from accessing your local network. 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 NAT function is enabled.

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

Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent and log malicious attacks.

Access Control: Prevent access from PCs 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 PCs on your local network from unwanted websites.

62

Listed are the items under the Firewall section: General Settings, Packet Filter, Intrusion Detection,

URL Filter, IM/P2P Blocking and Firewall Log.

You can choose not to enable Firewall and still able to access to URL Filter and IM/P2P Blocking or
enable the Firewall using 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 options when you enable the Firewall, they are:

L

All blocked/User-defined: no pre-defined 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 for further access to the Internet.

L

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

security are displayed in Port Filters of Packet Filter.

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

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

The “Block WAN Request” is a stand-alone function and not relate to whether security enable or
disable. Mostly it is for preventing any scan tools from WAN site by hacker.

63

SIP ALG:

You can choose to enable or disable SIP ALG by clicking on the radio buttons.

FTP ALG:

You can choose to enable or disable FTP ALG by clicking on the radio buttons.

64

Packet Filter

This function is only available when the Firewall is enabled and one of these four security levels is
chosen (All blocked, High, Medium and Low). The preset port filter rules in the Packet Filter must
modify accordingly to the level of Firewall, which is selected. See Table1: Predefined Port Filter for
more detail information.

66

Example: Predefined Port Filters Rules

Table1

The predefined port filter rules for High, Medium and Low security levels are listed. See Table 1.

Note: Firewall – All Blocked/User-defined, you must define and create the port filter rules
yourself. No predefined rule is being preconfigured.

Example: Configuring your firewall to allow a publicly accessible web server on your LAN

The predefined port filter rule for HTTP (TCP port 80) is the same no matter whether the firewall is
set to a high, medium or low security level. To setup a web server located on the local network when
the firewall is enabled, you have to configure the Port Filters setting for HTTP.

69

As you can see from the diagram below, when the firewall is enabled with one of the three presets
(Low/Medium/High), inbound HTTP access is not allowed which means remote access through
HTTP to your router is not allowed.

Note: Inbound indicates accessing from Internet to LAN and Outbound is from LAN to the
Internet.

70

Configuring Packet Filter:

1. Click Packet Filters. You will then be presented with the predefined port filter rules screen (in
this case for the low security level), shown below:

Note: You may click Edit the predefined rule instead of Delete it. This is an example to show
to how you add a filter on your own.

2. Choose the radio button you want to delete the existing HTTP rule. Click Edit/Delete button to
delete the existing HTTP rule.

3. Input the Rule Name, Time Schedule, Source/Destination IP, Type, Source/Destination Port,
Inbound and Outbound.

71

Example:

Application: Cindy_HTTP
Time Schedule: Always On
Source / Destination IP Address(es): 0.0.0.0 (I do not wish to active the address-filter, instead I
use the port-filter)
Type: TCP (Please refer to Table1: Predefined Port Filter)
Source Port: 0-65535 (I allow all ports to connect with the application))
Redirect Port: 80-80 (This is Port defined for HTTP)
Inbound / Outbound: Allow

1. The new port filter rule for HTTP is shown below:

2. Configure your Virtual Server (“port forwarding”) settings so that incoming HTTP requests on
port 80 will be forwarded to the PC running your web server:

Note: For how to configure the HTTP in Virtual Server, go to Add Virtual Server in Virtual
Server section for more details.

72

73

Intrusion Detection

The router’s Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker 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 using this IP address will be blocked for the time period
specified as the Block Duration. The default setting for this function is false (disabled). Some attack
types 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 false.

Block Duration:

L

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

value is 600 seconds.

L

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.

L

DoS Attack Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible
Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Possible DoS attacks this attempts to block 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 (PING) 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 seconds 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

74

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 rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular
websites by their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet
your requirements.

Enable/Disable: To enable or disable URL Filter feature.

Block Mode: A list of the modes that you can choose to check the URL filter rules. The default is
set to Always On.

L Disabled: No action will be performed by the Block Mode.

L

Always On: Action is enabled. URL filter rules will be monitoring and checking at all hours of
the day.

L

TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: It is 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: Allows blocking by 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, it will be dropped as the keyword
“abcde” occurs in the URL.

77

Domains Filtering: This function checks the whole URL not the IP address, in URLs accessed
against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will be sent (Trusted)
or dropped (Forbidden). For this function to be activated, both check-boxes 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 items, it is sent to the remote web server.

4. Please be note that the completed URL, “www” + domain name shall be specified. For example

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.

78

Example:

Andy wishes to disable all WEB traffic except for ones listed in the trusted domain, which would
prevent Bobby from accessing other web sites. Andy selects both functions in the Domain Filtering
and thinks that it will stop Bobby. But Bobby knows this function, Domain Filtering, ONLY disables
all WEB traffic except for Trusted Domain, BUT not its IP address. If this is the situation, Block
surfing by IP address function can be handy and helpful to Andy. Now, Andy can prevent Bobby
from accessing other sites.

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

L

Block Java Applet: This function can block Web content that includes the Java Applet. It is to
prevent someone who wants to damage your system via standard HTTP protocol.

L

Block surfing by IP address: Preventing someone who uses the IP address as URL for skip­ping Domains Filtering function. Activates only and if Domain Filtering enabled.

79

IM / P2P Blocking

IM, short for Instant Message, is required to use client program software that allows users to
communicate, in exchanging text message, with other IM users in real time over the Internet. A
P2P application, known as Peer-to-peer, is group of computer users who share file to specific
groups of people across the Internet. Both Instant Message and Peer-to-peer applications make
communication faster and easier but your network can become increasingly insecure at the same
time. Billion’s IM and P2P blocking helps users to restrict LAN PCs to access to 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.

L Disabled: Instant Message blocking is not triggered. No action will be performed.

L

Always On: Action is enabled.

L

TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: This is the self-defined time period. You may specify the time pe­riod to trigger the blocking, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule
section.

Yahoo/MSN Messenger: Check the box to block either or both Yahoo or/and MSN Messenger.
To be sure you enabled the Instant Message Blocking first.

L Peer to Peer Blocking: The default is set to Disabled.

L Disabled: Instant Message blocking is not triggered. No action will be performed.

L

Always On: Action is enabled.

TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: This is the self-defined time period. You may specify the time period to

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

BitTorrent / eDonkey: Check the box to block either or both Bit Torrent or/and eDonkey. To be
sure you enabled

the Peer to Peer Blocking first.

VoIP - Voice over Internet Protocol

VoIP enables telephone calls through existing Internet connection instead of going through the
PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). It is not only cost-effective, especially for a long
distance telephone charges, but also toll-quality voice calls over the Internet.

Here are the items within the VoIP section: SIP Device Parameters, SIP Accounts, Phone Port,

PSTN Dial Plan, VoIP Dial Plan, Call Features, Speed Dial and Ring &Tone.

82

SIP Device Parameters

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

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.

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

RTP Port: Provide the based 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 user to select the country for which the
VoIP device must work. 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: To be sure the router(s) in the backbones network have the capability in executing and
checking the DSCP through-out the QoS network.

83

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 locates some where in 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 in both of Caller and Receiver.

Dial Plan Priority: Define the priority between VoIP and PSTN dial plan.

PSTN Auto-fallback: Whenever VoIP SIP responses error and error code matching with the

codes in the Edit section, the VoiP calls will automatically fallback to PSTN. In the other word, the
call will be called via the PSTN when VoIP SIP returns an error code.

Click the Edit to add or remove the responses code. To be sure the code is separated by a
comma (,).

For more information about SIP responses codes, please check

org/wiki/view/sip+response+codes where you can get to know the meaning of each error code.

T.38 Fax Relay: It allows the transfer of facsimile documents in real-time between two standard

Group 3 facsimile terminals over the Internet or other networks using IP protocols. It will only
function when both sites are support this feature and enabled.

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.

84

To take your phone OFFHOOK, lift the receiver then press Hook/Flash until you hear your normal
PSTN dialtone, not your VoIP dialtone. 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.

85

PSTN Dial Plan (Router with LINE port only)

This section enables you to configure “VoIP with PSTN switching” on your system. You can define
a range of dial plans to make regular call from VoIP switching to PSTN line. Prefix numbers is
essential key to make a distinguishing between VoIP and Regular phone call. If actual numbers
dialed matches with prefix number defined in this dial plan, the dialed number will be routed to the
PSTN to make a regular call. Otherwise, the number will be routed to the VoIP networks.

Reminder! In order to utilize this feature, you must have registered and connected to your
SIP Server first.

Prefix: Specify number(s) for switching to a PSTN call.

Number of Digits: Specify the total number of digits wish to dial out. Maximum digit number is 15.

Action: Specify a dialing method you wish to make PSTN call(s).

L Dial with Prefix: The dialed number with prefix will be sent call through the PSTN.

Note: The actual dialed number of valid digits length requires matching in the Number of
Digits filed.

L

Dial without Prefix: The dialed number will be sent call through the PSTN without prefix.

Note: The actual dialed number of valid digits length requires matching in the Number of
Digits filed.

L

Dial at Timeout: The dialed number will be sent call through the PSTN with the prefix when
timeout starts. This timeout activates when no more digits are dialed in a specific duration.

Note: The actual dialed number of valid digits length MUST NOT exceed in the Number of
Digits filed.

L

Dial at Timeout no Prefix: The dialed number will be sent call through the PSTN without
prefix when timeout starts. This timeout activates when no more digits are dialed in a specific dura­tion.

Note: The actual dialed number of valid digits length MUST NOT exceed in the Number of
Digits filed.

89

90

PSTN Dial Plan Examples:

1. Dial with Prefix

If you dial 01223 707070, number 01223707070 will be dialed out via FXO to make a regular phone
call.

2. Dial without Prefix

If you dial 9102, the number 102 will only be dialed out via FXO port to make a regular phone call.

3. Dial at Timeout

If you only dial 01223 7070 and no more numbers, after the timeout activates, 012237070 will be
dialed to make a regular call via FXO port.

91

Even though 7070 (only 4 digits) does not match with number of digits 6 defined in the filed, 7070
is still a valid phone number since it has not exceeded 6 digits.

4. Dial at Timeout no Prefix

If you only dial 97070 and no more numbers, after the timeout activates, 7070 will be dialed
without prefix to make a regular call via FXO port.

Even though 7070 (only 4 digits) does not match with number of digits 6 defined in the filed, 7070
is still a valid phone number since it has not exceed 6 digits.

92

VoIP Dial Plan

This section helps you to make a telephony number dialed as making a regular call via VoIP.
You no longer need to memorize a long dial string of number for making a VoIP call. Go to
Configuration > VoIP > VoIP Dial Plan > Edit.
