Introduction to Broadband Router Technology

A router is a device that forwards data packets from a source to a destination. Routers can work on Open System Interconnection (OSI) layer 3, which forwards data packets using an IP address and not a MAC address. A router will forward data from the Internet to a particular computer on your LAN.

The information that makes up the Internet gets moved around using routers. When you click on a link on a web page, you send a request to a server to show you the next page. The request sent and the information received by your computer is moved from your computer to the server using routers. A router also determines the best route that your information should follow to ensure that the information is delivered properly.

A router controls the amount of data that is sent through your network by eliminating information that should not be there. This provides security for the computers behind your router because computers from the outside cannot access or send information directly to any computer on your network. The router determines which computer the information should be forwarded to and sends it. If the information is not intended for any computer on your network, the data is discarded. This keeps any unwanted or harmful information from accessing or damaging your network.

Introduction to Firewalls

A firewall is a device that sits between your computer and the Internet that prevents unauthorized access to or from your network. A firewall can be a computer using firewall software or a special piece of hardware built specifically to act as a firewall. In most circumstances, a firewall is used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks such as corporate LANs and Intranets.

A firewall watches all of the information moving to and from your network and analyzes each piece of data. Each piece of data is checked against a set of criteria that the administrator configures. If any data does not meet the criteria, that data is blocked and discarded. If the data meets the criteria, the data is passed through.. This method is called packet filtering.

A firewall can also run specific security functions based on the type of application or type of port that is being used. For example, a firewall can be configured to work with an FTP or Telnet server. Or a firewall can be configured to work with specific UDP or TCP ports to allow certain applications or games to work properly over the Internet.

Introduction to Local Area Networking

A Local Area Network (LAN) is typically an Ethernet-based network that connects several computers together over a small area such as a building or group of buildings. LAN’s can also be connected over large areas. A collection of LANs connected over a large area is called a Wide Area Network (WAN).

There are many types of media that can connect computers together. The most common media is CAT5 cable; UTP or STP twisted pair wire. Each computer must have a Network Interface Card (NIC), which transfers the data between computers. A NIC is usually a 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet adapter.

Most networks use hardware devices such as hubs or switches to transfer data between computers. A hub receives data arriving through each port and forwards the data to all other ports. A switch is more sophisticated, in that a switch can determine the port (or corresponding computer) that each packet of data is supposed to be delivered to. A switch minimizes network traffic and speeds up communication over a network.

There are many types of scenarios to consider which could affect the operability of a network. Some of these issues are discussed in the manual under the Networking Basics section.

Page 10

Sample Scenario

A typical network setup in a home or small office (as shown above) might contain the following devices. For specific information on setting up your network with the DI-704UP please see the Network Setup section on the following page.

You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL subscription line into your home or office)

Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem

Connect the Cable or DSL modem to the DI-704UP wireless broadband router (see the Quick Installation Guide included with the DI-704UP.)

If you are connecting a desktop computer that does not already have an available Ethernet port to your network, you can install the D-Link DFE-530TX+ Ethernet adapter into an available PCI slot. (See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-530TX+.)

If you are connecting a laptop computer without an available Ethernet port to your network, install an Ethernet Cardbus adapter (e.g., D-Link DFE-690TXD) and its drivers into the laptop computer.(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DFE-690TXD.)

Connect your USB printer to the USB printer port on the DI-704UP. Please refer to the Quick Installation Guide for loading the Windows print server software if on a Windows-based computer.

** Easily upgrade to a wireless network by adding a wireless Access Point (D-Link DWL-900AP+) **

Advanced > Virtual Server

The DI-704UP can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network). The DI-704UP firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DI-704UP are invisible to the outside world. If public access is desired, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the DI-704UP redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.

Page 31

Using the Configuration Menu (continued)

Advanced > Virtual Server

The DI-704UP is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port can be redirected to a different port on the server computer. Each of the virtual services that are created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are already pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service.

Name:

The name referencing the virtual service.

Private IP:

The server computer in the LAN (Local Area Network) that will be providing the virtual services.

Private Port:

The port number of the service used by the Private IP computer.

Protocol Type:

The protocol used for the virtual service.

Public Port:

The port number on the WAN side that will be used to access the virtual service.

Schedule:

The schedule of time when the virtual service will be enabled. The schedule may be set to Always, which will allow the particular service to always be enabled. If it is set to Time, select the time frame for the service to be enabled. If the system time is outside of the scheduled time, the service will be disabled.

Example #1: If you have a Web server that you wanted Internet users to access at all times, you would need to enable it. Web (HTTP) server is on LAN (Local Area Network) computer

192.168.0.25. HTTP uses port 80, TCP.

Name: Web Server Private IP: 192.168.0.25 Protocol Type: TCP Private Port: 80 Public Port: 80 Schedule: always

Page 32

Using the Configuration Menu (continued)

Remote Management:

Remote Management allows the DI-704UP to be configured from the Internet by a web browser. A username and password is still required to access the Web-Management interface. In general, only a member of your network can browse the built-in web pages to perform “Administrator” tasks. This feature enables you to perform “Administrator” tasks from the remote (Internet) host.

IP Address:

Internet IP address of the computer that has access to the Broadband Router. It is not recommended that you set the IP address to 0.0.0.0, because this allows any Internet IP address to access the Broadband Router, which could result in a loss of security for your network. If you elect to Enable Remote Management, enter the IP Address of

your remote location.

Port:

Select the port number used to access the Broadband Router.

Example: http://x.x.x.x:8080 whereas x.x.x.x is the WAN IP address of the Broadband

Router and 8080 is the port used for the Web-Management interface.

Tools > Time

The system time is the time used by the DI-704UP for scheduling services. You can manually set the time or connect to a NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. If an NTP server is set, you will only need to set the time zone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can´t I access the web based configuration?

When entering the IP Address of the DI-704UP (192.168.0.1), you are not connecting to the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility builtin to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.

To resolve difficulties accessing a web utility, please follow the steps below.

Step 1

you do not get a solid link light, try using a different cable or connect to a different port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light will not be on.

Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If

What type of cable should I be using?

The following connections require a Crossover Cable:

Computer to Computer Computer to Uplink Port Computer to Access Point Computer to Print Server Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-810 Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-900AP+ Uplink Port to Uplink Port (hub/switch) Normal Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)

The following connections require a Straight-through Cable:

Computer to Residential Gateway/Router Computer to Normal Port (hub/switch) Access Point to Normal Port (hub/switch) Print Server to Normal Port (hub/switch) Uplink Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)

Rule of Thumb: ”If there is a link light, the cable is right.”

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

Why can´t I access the web based configuration? (continued)

What type of cable should I be using? (continued)

What´s the difference between a crossover cable and a straight-through cable?

The wiring in crossover and straight-through cables are different. The two types of cable have different purposes for different LAN configurations. EIA/TIA 568A/568B define the wiring standards and allow for two different wiring color codes as illustrated in the following diagram.

*The wires with colored backgrounds may have white stripes and may be denoted that way in diagrams found elsewhere.

How to tell straight-through cable from a crossover cable:

The main way to tell the difference between the two cable types is to compare the wiring order on the ends of the cable. If the wiring is the same on both sides, it is straight-through cable. If one side has opposite wiring, it is a crossover cable.

All you need to remember to properly configure the cables is the pinout order of the two cable ends and the following rules:

A straight-through cable has identical ends A crossover cable has different ends

It makes no functional difference which standard you follow for straight-through cable ends, as long as both ends are the same. You can start a crossover cable with either standard as long as the other end is the other standard. It makes no functional difference which end is which. The order in which you pin the cable is important. Using a pattern other than what is specified in the above diagram could cause connection problems.

When to use a crossover cable and when to use a straight-through cable:

Computer to Computer – Crossover Computer to an normal port on a Hub/Switch – Straight-through Computer to an uplink port on a Hub/Switch - Crossover Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch uplink port – Crossover

Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch normal port - Straight-through

and hold down the reset button on the back of the unit for 10 seconds. Release it and the router will recycle, the lights will blink, and then stabilize.

Step 3 After the router stabilizes, open your browser and enter 192.168.0.1 into the

address window and hit the Enter key. When the password dialog box appears, enter the username admin and leave the password blank. Click OK.

If the password dialog box does not come up repeat Step 2.

Note: Do not run Wizard.

Step 4 Click on the WAN tab on left-hand side of the screen. Select PPPoE.

Step 5 Select Dynamic PPPoE (unless your ISP supplied you with a static IP

Address).

Step 6 In the username field enter ELN/username@earthlink.net and your

password, where username is your own username.

For SBC Global users, enter username@sbcglobal.net. For Ameritech users, enter username@ameritech.net. For BellSouth users, enter username@bellsouth.net. For Mindspring users, enter username@mindspring.com. For most other ISPs, enter username.

Step 7 Maximum Idle Time should be set to zero. Set MTU to 1492, unless

specified by your ISP, and set Autoreconnect to Enabled.

Note: If you experience problems accessing certain websites and/or email issues,

please set the MTU to a lower number such as 1472, 1452, etc. Contact your ISP for more information and the proper MTU setting for your connection.

How can I setup my router to work with Earthlink DSL or any PPPoE connection? (continued)

Step 8 Click Apply. When prompted, click Continue. Once the screen refreshes,

unplug the power to the D-Link router.

Step 9 Turn off your DSL modem for 2-3 minutes. Turn back on. Once the modem

has established a link to your ISP, plug the power back into the D-Link router. Wait about 30 seconds and log back into the router.

Step 10 Click on the Status tab in the web configuration where you can view the

device info. Under WAN, click Connect. Click Continue when prompted. You should now see that the device info will show an IP Address, verifying that the device has connected to a server and has been assigned an IP Address.

Can I use my D-Link Broadband Router to share my Internet connection provided by AOL DSL Plus?

In most cases yes. AOL DSL Plus may use PPPoE for authentication bypassing the client software. If this is the case, then our routers will work with this service. Please contact AOL if you are not sure.

To set up your router:

Step 1Log into the web based configuration by typing in the IP Address of the router

(default:192.168.0.1) in your web browser. The username is admin (all lowercase) and the password is blank (empty).

Step 2 Enter your screen name followed by @aol.com for the user name. Enter your

AOL password in the password box.

Step 3 You will have to set the MTU to 1400. AOL DSL Plus does not allow for

anything higher than 1400.

Step 4 Click Apply.

Step 5 Recycle the power to the modem for 1 minute and then recycle power to the

router. Allow 1 to 2 minutes to connect.

If you connect to the Internet with a different ISP and want to use the AOL software, you can do that without configuring the router’s firewall settings. You need to configure the AOL software to connect using TCP/IP.

Go to http://www.aol.com for more specific configuration information of their software.

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

How do I open ports on my router?

To allow traffic from the Internet to enter your local network, you will need to open up ports or the router will block the request.

Step 1 Log into the web based

configuration by typing in the IP Address of the router (default:192.168.0.1) in your web browser. The username is admin (all lowercase) and the password is blank (empty).

Step 2 Click on Advanced on top and

then click Virtual Server on the left

Step 3 Check Enabled to activate

entry.

Step 4 Enter a name for your virtual

server entry.

Step 5 Next to Private IP, enter the IP

Address of the computer on your local network that you want to allow the incoming service to.

Step 6 Choose Protocol Type - either TCP, UDP, or both. If you are not sure, select

both.

Step 7 Enter the port information next to Private Port and Public Port. The private

and public ports are usually the same. The public port is the port seen from the WAN side, and the private port is the port being used by the application on the computer within your local network.

Step 8 Set the Schedule information.

Step 9 Click Apply and then click Continue.

Note: Make sure DMZ host is disabled. If DMZ is enabled, it will disable all Virtual Server entries.

Because our routers use NAT (Network Address Translation), you can only open a specific port to one computer at a time. For example: If you have 2 web servers on your network, you cannot open port 80 to both computers. You will need to configure one of the web servers to use port 81. Now you can open port 80 to the first computer.

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

What is DMZ?

Demilitarized Zone:

In computer networks, a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a computer host or small network inserted as a neutral zone between a company´s private network and the outside public network. It prevents outside users from getting direct access to a server that has company data. (The term comes from the geographic buffer zone that was set up between North Korea and South Korea following the UN police action in the early 1950s.) A DMZ is an optional and more secure approach to a firewall and effectively acts as a proxy server as well.

In a typical DMZ configuration for a small company, a separate computer (or host in network terms) receives requests from users within the private network for access to Web sites or other companies accessible on the public network. The DMZ host then initiates sessions for these requests on the public network. However, the DMZ host is not able to initiate a session back into the private network. It can only forward packets that have already been requested.

Users of the public network outside the company can access only the DMZ host. The DMZ may typically also have the company´s Web pages so these could be served to the outside world. However, the DMZ provides access to no other company data. In the event that an outside user penetrated the DMZ hosts security, the Web pages might be corrupted but no other company information would be exposed. D-Link, a leading maker of routers, is one company that sells products designed for setting up

a DMZ

How do I configure the DMZ Host?

The DMZ feature allows you to forward all incoming ports to one computer on the local network. The DMZ, or Demilitarized Zone, will allow the specified computer to be exposed to the Internet. DMZ is useful when a certain application or game does not work through the firewall. The computer that is configured for DMZ will be completely vulnerable on the Internet, so it is suggested that you try opening ports from the Virtual Server or Firewall settings before using DMZ.

Step 1 Find the IP address of the computer you want to use as the DMZ host.

To find out how to locate the IP Address of the computer in Windows XP/2000/ME/9x or Macintosh operating systems please refer to Step 4 of the first question in this section (Frequently Asked Questions).

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

How do I configure the DMZ Host? (continued)

Step 2 Log into the web based configuration

of the router by typing in the IP Address of the router (default:192.168.0.1) in your web browser. The username is admin (all lowercase) and the password is blank

(empty).

Step 3 Click the Advanced tab and then click on the DMZ button. Select Enable

and type in the IP Address from Step 1.

Step 4 Click Apply

and then Continue to save the changes.

Note: When DMZ is enabled, Virtual Server settings will still be effective. Remember, you cannot forward the same port to multiple IP Addresses, so the Virtual Server settings will take priority over

DMZ settings.

How do I open a range of ports on my DI-704UP using Firewall rules?

Step 1 Log into the web based configuration by typing in the IP Address of the router

(default:192.168.0.1) in your web browser. The username is admin (all lowercase) and the password is blank (empty).

If you are having difficulty accessing web management, please see the first question in this section.

Step 2 From the web management Home page, click the Advanced tab then click

the Firewall button.

Step 3 Click on

Enabled and type in a name for the new rule.

Step 4 Choose WAN

as the Source and enter a range of IP Addresses out on the internet that you would like this rule applied to. If you would like this rule to allow all internet users to be able to access these ports, then put an Asterisk (*) in the first box and leave the

second box empty.

Step 5 Select LAN as the Destination and enter the IP Address of the computer on

your local network that you want to allow the incoming service to. This will not work with a range of IP Addresses

Step 6 Enter the port or range of ports that are required to be open for the incoming

service.

Step 7 Click Apply and then click Continue.

Note: Make sure DMZ host is disabled.

Because our routers use NAT (Network Address Translation), you can only open a specific port to one computer at a time. For example: If you have 2 web servers on your network, you cannot open port 80 to both computers. You will need to configure 1 of the web servers to use port 81. Now you can open port 80 to the first computer and then open port 81 to the other computer.

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

What are virtual servers?

A Virtual Server is defined as a service port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP. For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.0.5, a Web server (port 80) at 192.168.0.6, and a VPN server (port 1723) at 192.168.0.7, then you need to specify the following virtual server mapping table:

Server Port

Server IP

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

How does NetMeeting work with my D-Link Router?

Unlike most TCP/IP applications, NetMeeting uses DYNAMIC PORTS instead of STATIC PORTS. That means that each NetMeeting connection is somewhat different than the last. For instance, the HTTP web site application uses port 80. NetMeeting can use any of over 60,000 different ports.

All broadband routers using only standard NAT and all internet sharing programs like Microsoft ICS that use only standard NAT will NOT work with NetMeeting or other h.323 software packages.

In order to use NetMeeting with your D-LInk router, you need to put the router in DMZ.

Note: A few hardware manufacturers have taken it on themselves to actually provide H.323 compatibility. This is not an easy task since the router must search each incoming packet for signs that it might be a netmeeting packet. This is a whole lot more work than a router normally does and may actually be a weak point in the firewall. D-Link is not one of the manufacturers.
