Chapter 3 Web User Interface

This section describes how to access the device via the web user interface (WUI) using an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer (version 5.0 and later).

3.1 Default Settings

The factory default settings of this device are summarized below.

• LAN IP address: 192.168.1.1

• LAN subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

• Administrative access (username: root , password: 12345)

• User access (username: user, password: user)

• Remote WAN access: enabled

• Remote (WAN) access (username: support, password: support)

• WLAN access: enabled

• Service Set Identifier (SSID): Comtrend_xxxx,

where xxxx are the last-four digits of the MAC address of the wireless interface.

Technical Note

During power on, the device initializes all settings to default values. It will then

read the configuration profile from the permanent storage section of flash memory. The default attributes are overwritten when identical attributes with different values are configured. The configuration profile in permanent storage can be created via the web user interface or telnet user interface, or other management protocols. The factory default configuration can be restored either by pushing the reset button for more than five seconds until the power indicates LED blinking or by clicking the Restore Default Configuration option in the Restore Settings screen.

3.2 IP Configuration

DHCP MODE

When the CT-5364A powers up, the onboard DHCP server will switch on. The DHCP server issues and reserves IP addresses for LAN devices, such as your PC.

To obtain an IP address from the DCHP server, follow the steps provided below.

NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows XP.

However, the general steps involved are similar for most operating systems (OS). Check your OS support documentation for further details.

STEP 1: From the Network Connections window, open Local Area Connection (You

may also access this screen by double-clicking the Local Area Connection icon on your taskbar). Click the Properties button.

STEP 2: Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.

STEP 3: Select Obtain an IP address automatically as shown below.

STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings.

If you experience difficulty with DHCP mode, you can try static IP mode instead, as described on the next page.

STATIC IP MODE

In static IP mode, you assign IP settings to your PC manually.

Follow these steps to configure your PC IP address to use subnet 192.168.1.x.

NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows XP.

However, the general steps involved are similar for most operating systems (OS). Check your OS support documentation for further details.

STEP 1: From the Network Connections window, open Local Area Connection (You

may also access this screen by double-clicking the Local Area Connection icon on your taskbar). Click the Properties button.

STEP 2: Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.

STEP 3: Change the IP address to the domain of 192.168.1.x (1<x<255) with

subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The screen should now display as below.

STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings.

3.3 Login Procedure

Perform the following steps to login to the web user interface.

The Remove button removes mapping groups, returning the ungrouped interfaces to the Default group. Only the default group has an IP interface.

To add an Interface Group, click the Add button. The following screen will appear. It lists the available and grouped interfaces. Follow the instructions shown here.

NOTE: To assign Ethernet Ports ENET(1-4) to separate Interface Groups, the

VLAN Port feature must be activated. See section 5.14 for details.

DHCP Vendor IDs

Add support to automatically map LAN interfaces using DHCP vendor ID (option 60). The local DHCP server will forward these types of requests to a remote DHCP server.

For example, imagine there are 4 PVCs (0/33, 0/36, 0/37, 0/38), VPI/VCI=0/33 is for PPPoE while the other PVCs are for IP set-top box use, and the LAN interfaces are ENET1, ENET2, ENET3, and ENET4. The Interface Grouping configuration will be:

1. Default: ENET1, ENET2, ENET3, and ENET4.

2. Video: nas_0_36, nas_0_37, and nas_0_38. The DHCP vendor ID is "Video".

The local DHCP server is running on "Default" and the remote DHCP server is running on PVC 0/36 (i.e. for set-top box use only). LAN side clients can get IP addresses from the CPE's DHCP server and access the Internet via PPPoE (0/33).

If a set-top box is connected to ENET1 and sends a DHCP request with vendor ID "Video", the local DHCP server will forward this request to the remote DHCP server. The Interface Grouping configuration will automatically change to the following:

1. Default: ENET2, ENET3, and ENET4.

2. Video: nas_0_36, nas_0_37, nas_0_38, and ENET1.

5.14 LAN Ports

This screen controls the Virtual LAN (VLAN) Ports feature, which assigns Ethernet LAN ports ENET(1-4) to a static VLAN configuration. This feature must be activated to assign Ethernet Ports to separate Interface Groups (see section 5.13).

To enable Virtual LAN ports, select the checkbox ; and click Apply/Save. The ENET(1-4) port will separate into individual VLAN ports (ENET1-4), as shown below.

Among other things, you can enable or disable the wireless LAN interface, hide the network from active scans, set the wireless network name (also known as SSID) and restrict the channel set based on country requirements.

Click Save/Apply to apply the selected wireless options.

Consult the table below for descriptions of all these options.

Option Description

Enable Wireless

A checkbox ; that enables or disables the wireless LAN interface. When selected, a set of basic wireless options will appear.

Hide Access Point

Select Hide Access Point to protect the access point from detection by wireless active scans. To check AP status in Windows XP, open

Network Connections from the start Menu and select View Available Network Connections. If the access point is hidden, it

will not be listed there. To connect a client to a hidden access point, the station must add the access point manually to its wireless configuration.

Option Description

Clients Isolation

When enabled, it prevents client PCs from seeing one another in My Network Places or Network Neighborhood. Also, prevents one wireless client communicating with another wireless client.

Disable WMM Advertise

Stops the router from ‘advertising’ its Wireless Multimedia (WMM) functionality, which provides basic quality of service for time-sensitive applications (e.g. VoIP, Video).

Enable Wireless Multicast Forwarding

Not supported.

SSID

[1-32 characters]

Sets the wireless network name. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. All stations must be configured with the correct SSID to access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that user will not be granted access.

BSSID The BSSID is a 48-bit identity used to identify a particular BSS

(Basic Service Set) within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the AP (Access Point); and in Independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly.

Country A drop-down menu that permits worldwide and specific national

settings. Local regulations limit channel range: US= worldwide, Japan=1-14, Jordan= 10-13, Israel= 1-13

Max Clients The maximum number of clients that can access the router.

Wireless Guest / Virtual Access Points

This router supports multiple SSIDs called Guest SSIDs or Virtual Access Points. To enable one or more Guest SSIDs select the checkboxes ; in the Enabled column. To hide a Guest SSID select its checkbox ; in the Hidden column.

Do the same for Isolate Clients and Disable WMM Advertise. For a description of these two functions, see the previous entries for “Clients Isolation” and “Disable WMM Advertise”. Similarly, for Enable WMF, Max Clients and BSSID, consult the matching entries in this table.

NOTE: Remote wireless hosts cannot scan Guest SSIDs.

6.2 Security

The following screen appears when Wireless Security is selected. The options shown here allow you to configure security features of the wireless LAN interface.

Click Save/Apply to implement new configuration settings.

WIRELESS SECURITY

Wireless security settings can be configured according to Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or Manual Setup. The WPS method configures security settings automatically (see section 6.2.1) while the Manual Setup method requires that the user configure these settings using the Web User Interface (see the table below).

Select SSID

Select the wireless network name from the drop-down box. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. All stations must be configured with the correct SSID to access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that client will not be granted access.

Network Authentication

This option specifies whether a network key is used for authentication to the wireless network. If network authentication is set to Open, then no authentication is provided. Despite this, the identity of the client is still verified.

Each authentication type has its own settings. For example, selecting 802.1X authentication will reveal the RADIUS Server IP address, Port and Key fields. WEP Encryption will also be enabled as shown below.

The settings for WPA authentication are shown below.

The settings for WPA-PSK authentication are shown next.

WEP Encryption

This option specifies whether data sent over the network is encrypted. The same network key is used for data encryption and network authentication. Four network keys can be defined although only one can be used at any one time. Use the Current Network Key list box to select the appropriate network key.

Security options include authentication and encryption services based on the wired equivalent privacy (WEP) algorithm. WEP is a set of security services used to protect 802.11 networks from unauthorized access, such as eavesdropping; in this case, the capture of wireless network traffic. When data encryption is enabled,

secret shared encryption keys are generated and used by the source station and the destination station to alter frame bits, thus avoiding disclosure to eavesdroppers.

Under shared key authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel.

Encryption Strength

This drop-down list box will display when WEP Encryption is enabled. The key strength is proportional to the number of binary bits comprising the key. This means that keys with a greater number of bits have a greater degree of security and are considerably more difficult to crack. Encryption strength can be set to either 64-bit or 128-bit. A 64-bit key is equivalent to 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal numbers. A 128-bit key contains 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal numbers. Each key contains a 24-bit header (an initiation vector) which enables parallel decoding of multiple streams of encrypted data.

6.2.1 WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard that simplifies wireless security setup for certified network devices. Every WPS certified device has both a PIN number and a push button, located on the device or accessed through device software. The CT-5364A has both a WPS button on the side panel and a virtual button accessed from the web user interface (WUI).

Devices with the WPS logo (shown here) support WPS. If the WPS logo is not present on your device it still may support WPS, in this case, check the device documentation for the phrase “Wi-Fi Protected Setup”.

NOTE: WPS is only available in Open, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and Mixed

WPA2/WPA-PSK network authentication modes. Other authentication modes do not use WPS so they must be configured manually.

To configure security settings with WPS, follow the procedures below. You must choose either the Push-Button or PIN configuration method for Steps 6 and 7.

I. Setup

Step 1: Enable WPS by selecting Enabled from the drop down list box shown.

Step 2: Set the WSC AP Mode. Configured is used when the CT-5364A will

assign security settings to clients. Unconfigured is used when an external client assigns security settings to the CT-5364A.

NOTES: Your client may or may not have the ability to provide security settings to

the CT-5364A. If it does not, then you must set the WSC AP mode to Configured. Consult the device documentation to check its capabilities.

In addition, using Windows Vista, you can add an external registrar using

the StartAddER button (Appendix E has detailed instructions).

II. NETWORK AUTHENTICATION

Step 3: Select Open, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK network

authentication mode from the Manual Setup AP section of the Wireless Security screen. The example below shows WPA2-PSK mode.

Step 4: For the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) modes, enter a WPA Pre-Shared Key. You

will see the following dialog box if the Key is too short or too long.

Step 5: Click the Save/Apply button at the bottom of the screen.

IIIa. PUSH-BUTTON CONFIGURATION

The WPS push-button configuration provides a semi-automated configuration

Step 3

method. The WPS button on the rear panel of the router can be used for this purpose or the Web User Interface (WUI) can be used exclusively.

The WPS push-button configuration is described in the procedure below. It is assumed that the Wireless function is Enabled and that the router is configured as the Wireless Access Point (AP) of your WLAN. In addition, the wireless client must also be configured correctly and turned on, with WPS function enabled.

NOTE: The wireless AP on the router searches for 2 minutes. If the router stops

searching before you complete Step 7, return to Step 6.

Step 6: First method: WPS button

Press the WPS button on the rear panel of the router. The WPS LED will

blink to show that the router has begun searching for the client.

Second method: WUI virtual button

Select the Push-Button radio button in the WSC Setup section of the

Wireless Security screen, as shown in A or B below, and then click the appropriate button based on the WSC AP mode selected in step 2.

A - For Configured mode, click the Add Enrollee button.

B - For Unconfigured mode, click the Config AP button.

Step 7: Go to your WPS wireless client and activate the push-button function.

A typical WPS client screenshot is shown below as an example.

Now go to Step 8 (part IV. Check Connection) to check the WPS connection.

IIIb. WPS – PIN CONFIGURATION

Using this method, security settings are configured with a personal identification number (PIN). The PIN can be found on the device itself or within the software. The PIN may be generated randomly in the latter case. To obtain a PIN number for your client, check the device documentation for specific instructions.

The WPS PIN configuration is described in the procedure below. It is assumed that the Wireless function is Enabled and that the router is configured as the Wireless Access Point (AP) of your wireless LAN. In addition, the wireless client must also be configured correctly and turned on, with WPS function enabled.

NOTE: Unlike the push-button method, the pin method has no set time limit.

This means that the router will continue searching until it finds a client.

Step 6: Select the PIN radio button in the WSC Setup section of the Wireless

Security screen, as shown in A or B below, and then click the appropriate button based on the WSC AP mode selected in step 2.

A - For Configured mode, enter the client PIN in the box provided and

then click the Add Enrollee button (see below).

B - For Unconfigured mode, click the Config AP button.

Step 7: Activate the PIN function on the wireless client. For Configured mode,

the client must be configured as an Enrollee. For Unconfigured mode, the client must be configured as the Registrar. This is different from the External Registrar function provided in Windows Vista.

The figure below provides an example of a WPS client PIN function in-progress.

Now go to Step 8 (part IV. Check Connection) to check the WPS connection.

IV. CHECK CONNECTION

Step 8: If the WPS setup method was successful, you will be able access the

wireless AP from the client. The client software should show the status. The example below shows that the connection established successfully.

You can also double-click the Wireless Network Connection icon from the

Network Connections window (or the system tray) to confirm the status of the new connection.

6.5 Advanced

The Advanced screen allows you to configure advanced features of the wireless LAN interface. You can select a particular channel on which to operate, force the transmission rate to a particular speed, set the fragmentation threshold, set the RTS threshold, set the wakeup interval for clients in power-save mode, set the beacon interval for the access point, set XPress mode and set whether short or long preambles are used. Click Save/Apply to set new advanced wireless options.

Field Description

Band Set to 2.4 GHz for compatibility with IEEE 802.11x standards.

The new amendment allows IEEE 802.11n units to fall back to slower speeds so that legacy IEEE 802.11x devices can coexist in the same network. IEEE 802.11g creates data-rate parity at

2.4 GHz with the IEEE 802.11a standard, which has a 54 Mbps rate at 5 GHz. (IEEE 802.11a has other differences compared to IEEE 802.11b or g, such as offering more channels.)

Channel Drop-down menu that allows selection of a specific channel.

Auto Channel Timer (min)

Auto channel scan timer in minutes (0 to disable)

802.11n/EWC An equipment interoperability standard setting based on IEEE

802.11n Draft 2.0 and Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC)

Bandwidth Select 20GHz or 40GHz bandwidth. 40GHz bandwidth uses two

adjacent 20GHz bands for increased data throughput.

Control Sideband Select Upper or Lower sideband when in 40GHz mode.

Field Description

802.11n Rate Set the physical transmission rate (PHY) from 6.5 to 130 Mbps.

802.11n Protection

Turn Off for maximized throughput. Turn On for greater security.

Support 802.11n Client Only

Turn Off to allow 802.11b/g clients access to the router. Turn On to prohibit 802.11b/g clients access to the router.

54g Rate Drop-down menu that specifies the following fixed rates:

Auto: Default. Uses the 11 Mbps data rate when possible but drops to lower rates when necessary. 1 Mbps, 2Mbps,

5.5Mbps, or 11Mbps fixed rates. The appropriate setting is dependent on signal strength.

Multicast Rate Setting for multicast packet transmit rate (1-54 Mbps)

Basic Rate Setting for basic transmission rate.

Fragmentation Threshold

A threshold, specified in bytes, that determines whether packets will be fragmented and at what size. On an 802.11 WLAN, packets that exceed the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into, smaller units suitable for the circuit size. Packets smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value are not fragmented. Enter a value between 256 and 2346. If you experience a high packet error rate, try to slightly increase your Fragmentation Threshold. The value should remain at its default setting of 2346. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor performance.

RTS Threshold Request to Send, when set in bytes, specifies the packet size

beyond which the WLAN Card invokes its RTS/CTS mechanism. Packets that exceed the specified RTS threshold trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism. The NIC transmits smaller packet without using RTS/CTS. The default setting of 2347 (maximum length) disables RTS Threshold.

DTIM Interval Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is also known as

Beacon Rate. The entry range is a value between 1 and

65535. A DTIM is a countdown variable that informs clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. AP Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default is 1.

Beacon Interval The amount of time between beacon transmissions in

milliseconds. The default is 100 ms and the acceptable range is 1 – 65535. The beacon transmissions identify the presence of an access point. By default, network devices passively scan all RF channels listening for beacons coming from access points. Before a station enters power save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at the access point).

Global Max Clients The maximum number of clients that can connect to the router.

Xpress

Technology

Xpress Technology is compliant with draft specifications of two planned wireless industry standards.

Field Description

Trans m it Po w er Set the power output (by percentage) as desired.

WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia)

The technology maintains the priority of audio, video and voice applications in a Wi-Fi network. It allows multimedia service get higher priority.

WMM No Acknowledgement

Refers to the acknowledge policy used at the MAC level. Enabling no Acknowledgement can result in more efficient throughput but higher error rates in a noisy Radio Frequency (RF) environment.

WMM APSD This is Automatic Power Save Delivery. It saves power.

8.2 System Log

This function allows a system log to be kept and viewed upon request.

Follow the steps below to configure, enable, and view the system log.

STEP 1: Click Configure System Log, as shown below (circled in Red).

STEP 2: Select desired options and click Apply/Save.

Consult the table below for detailed descriptions of each system log option.

Option Description

Log Indicates whether the system is currently recording events. The user

can enable or disable event logging. By default, it is disabled. To enable it, select the Enable radio button and then click Apply/Save.

Option Description

Log Level

Allows you to configure the event level and filter out unwanted events below this level. The events ranging from the highest critical level “Emergency” down to this configured level will be recorded to the log buffer on the CT-5364A SDRAM. When the log buffer is full, the newer event will wrap up to the top of the log buffer and overwrite the old event. By default, the log level is “Debugging”, which is the lowest critical level.

The log levels are defined as follows:

• Emergency = system is unusable

• Alert = action must be taken immediately

• Critical = critical conditions

• Error = Error conditions

• Warning = normal but significant condition

• Notice= normal but insignificant condition

• Informational= provides information for reference

• Debugging = debug-level messages

Emergency is the most serious event level, whereas Debugging is the least important. For instance, if the log level is set to Debugging, all the events from the lowest Debugging level to the most critical level Emergency level will be recorded. If the log level is set to Error, only Error and the level above will be logged.

Display Level

Allows the user to select the logged events and displays on the View System Log window for events of this level and above to the highest Emergency level.

Mode Allows you to specify whether events should be stored in the local

memory, or be sent to a remote system log server, or both simultaneously. If remote mode is selected, view system log will not be able to display events saved in the remote system log server. When either Remote mode or Both mode is configured, the WEB UI will prompt the user to enter the Server IP address and Server UDP port.

Appendix A - Firewall

STATEFUL PACKET INSPECTION

Refers to an architecture, where the firewall keeps track of packets on each connection traversing all its interfaces and makes sure they are valid. This is in contrast to static packet filtering which only examines a packet based on the information in the packet header.

DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK

Is an incident in which a user or organization is deprived of the services of a resource they would normally expect to have. Various DoS attacks the device can withstand are ARP Attack, Ping Attack, Ping of Death, Land, SYN Attack, Smurf Attack, and Tear Drop.

TCP/IP/PORT/INTERFACE FILTER

These rules help in the filtering of traffic at the Network layer (i.e. Layer 3). When a Routing interface is created, Enable Firewall must be checked. Navigate to Advanced Setup Æ Security Æ IP Filtering.

OUTGOING IP FILTER

Helps in setting rules to DROP packets from the LAN interface. By default, if the Firewall is Enabled, all IP traffic from the LAN is allowed. By setting up one or more filters, specific packet types coming from the LAN can be dropped.

Example 1

: Filter Name : Out_Filter1

Protocol : TCP Source IP address : 192.168.1.45 Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 Source Port : 80 Dest. IP Address : NA Dest. Subnet Mask : NA Dest. Port : NA

This filter will Drop all TCP packets coming from the LAN with IP Address/Subnet Mask of 192.168.1.45/24 having a source port of 80 irrespective of the destination. All other packets will be Accepted.

Example 2

: Filter Name : Out_Filter2

Protocol : UDP Source IP Address : 192.168.1.45 Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 Source Port : 5060:6060 Dest. IP Address : 172.16.13.4 Dest. Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 Dest. Port : 6060:7070

This filter will drop all UDP packets coming from the LAN with IP Address / Subnet Mask of 192.168.1.45/24 and a source port range of 5060 to 6060, destined to 172.16.13.4/24 and a destination port range of 6060 to 7070.

INCOMING IP FILTER

Helps in setting rules to Allow or Deny packets from the WAN interface. By default, all incoming IP traffic from the WAN is Blocked, if the Firewall is Enabled. By setting up one or more filters, specific packet types coming from the WAN can be Accepted.

Example 1

: Filter Name : In_Filter1

Protocol : TCP Policy : Allow Source IP Address : 210.168.219.45 Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.0.0 Source Port : 80 Dest. IP Address : NA Dest. Subnet Mask : NA Dest. Port : NA Selected WAN interface : br0

This filter will ACCEPT all TCP packets coming from WAN interface “br0” with IP Address/Subnet Mask 210.168.219.45/16 with a source port of 80, irrespective of the destination. All other incoming packets on this interface are DROPPED.

Example 2

: Filter Name : In_Filter2

Protocol : UDP Policy : Allow Source IP Address : 210.168.219.45 Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.0.0 Source Port : 5060:6060 Dest. IP Address : 192.168.1.45 Dest. Sub. Mask : 255.255.255.0 Dest. Port : 6060:7070 Selected WAN interface : br0

This rule will ACCEPT all UDP packets coming from WAN interface “br0” with IP Address/Subnet Mask 210.168.219.45/16 and a source port in the range of 5060 to 6060, destined to 192.168.1.45/24 and a destination port in the range of 6060 to 7070. All other incoming packets on this interface are DROPPED.

MAC LAYER FILTER

These rules help in the filtering of Layer 2 traffic. MAC Filtering is only effective in Bridge mode. After a Bridge mode connection is created, navigate to Advanced Setup Æ Security Æ MAC Filtering in the WUI.

Example 1

: Global Policy : Forwarded

Protocol Type : PPPoE Dest. MAC Address : 00:12:34:56:78:90 Source MAC Address : NA Src. Interface : eth1 Dest. Interface : eth2

Addition of this rule drops all PPPoE frames going from eth1 to eth2 with a Destination MAC Address of 00:12:34:56:78:90 irrespective of its Source MAC Address. All other frames on this interface are forwarded.

Example 2

: Global Policy : Blocked

Protocol Type : PPPoE Dest. MAC Address : 00:12:34:56:78:90 Source MAC Address : 00:34:12:78:90:56 Src. Interface : eth1 Dest. Interface : eth2

Addition of this rule forwards all PPPoE frames going from eth1 to eth2 with a Destination MAC Address of 00:12:34:56:78 and Source MAC Address of 00:34:12:78:90:56. All other frames on this interface are dropped.

DAYTIME PARENTAL CONTROL

This feature restricts access of a selected LAN device to an outside Network through the CT-5364A, as per chosen days of the week and the chosen times.

Example

: User Name : FilterJohn

Browser's MAC Address : 00:25:46:78:63:21 Days of the Week : Mon, Wed, Fri Start Blocking Time : 14:00 End Blocking Time : 18:00

With this rule, a LAN device with MAC Address of 00:25:46:78:63:21 will have no access to the WAN on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 2pm to 6pm. On all other days and times, this device will have access to the outside Network.
