Chapter 1: Introduction

Introduction to your Router

Welcome to the 3G/ADSL2+ (802.11g) (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)).

Virtual Private Network (VPN) (VPN model only)

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.

EWAN

Besides using 3G/ADSL to get connected to the Internet, the router offers its Ethernet port 1 as a WAN port to be used to connect to Cable Modems and fiber optic lines. This alternative, yet faster method to connect to the internet will provide users more flexibility to get online.

Dual WAN

Dual WAN is a new way of getting connected to the internet which is to use each two of the 3G/ADSL/EWAN to deal with the unexpected case and balance traffic load. That is a way of improving greatly the robustness.

802.11g Wireless AP with WPA Support (Wireless Router only)

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 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA1 and WPA2) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (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 over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a

Table of Contents

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 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 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 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.

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.

Table of Contents

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.

Cabling

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

Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation

The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Windows 7, Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.

Please check your PC’s 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 with the router, either through an external repeater hub to the router or directly connecting with PCs. However, to be sure PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior to connecting to 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’s web interface it may also be advisable to uninstall any kind of

software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect their network.

Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation.

Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through the router. To configure other types of workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.

Port Setting

This section allows you to configure the settings for the router’s Ethernet ports to solve some of the compatibility problems that may be encountered while connecting to the Internet, as well 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 there are specific problems with PCs not being able

to access your LAN.

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 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.

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.

determined by Probe Cycle duration multiplied by connection Decision amount (e.g. From the image

above it will be 60 seconds multiplied by 5 consecutive fails).

Failback Probe Cycle: Set the time duration for the Failback Probe Cycle to determine when the router

will switch back to the main connection (main port) from the backup connection (backup port) once the

main connection is communicating again.

Note: The time set is for each probe cycle, but the decision to change to the backup port is

determined by Probe Cycle duration multiplied by Connection Decision amount (e.g. From the image

above it will be 60 seconds multiplied by 5 consecutive fails).

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: Prevents access from outside your network. The router provides three levels of security

support:

NAT natural firewall: This masks LAN users’ IP addresses which is invisible to outside users on the

Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural firewall is on when NAT function is enabled.

When using Virtual Servers your PCs will be exposed to the degree specified in your Virtual Server settings provided the ports specified are opened in your firewall packet filter settings.

Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules to prevent

unauthorized computers or applications accessing your local network from the Internet.

Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent and log malicious attacks. Access Control: Prevents 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 accessing the Internet.

General Settings

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:

 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.

 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.

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.

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.

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

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:  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 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 cannot

protect against such attacks.

URL Filter

(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router

URL (Uniform Resource Locator - e.g. an address in the form of

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.

http://www.abcde.com or

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

c) Disabled: No action will be performed by the Block Mode. d) Always On: Action is enabled. URL filter rules will be monitoring and checking at all hours of the

day.

e) 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

occurs in the URL.

http://www.abc.com/abcde.html, it will be dropped as the keyword “abcde”

(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router

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 is listed in the trusted list, whilst the URL request for because

www.google is in the forbidden list.

www.abc.com will be sent to the remote web server because it

www.google or www.google.com will be dropped,

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.

 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.

 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.
