1: Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Load Balancer. The Load Balancer provides Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users.

Figure 1-1: Load Balancer

Internet Features

• Shared Broadband Internet Access All LAN users can access the Internet through the Load Balancer, by sharing one (1) or two (2)

Broadband modems and connections.

• High-Performance Dual Modem Support The Load Balancer has two (2) WAN ports, allowing connection of two (2) Broadband modems.

This gives twice the bandwidth of a single modem. Flexible configuration allows each port to use a different type of modem and connection method. Also, you can determine how the Internet traffic is shared between the 2 modems.

• Supports all common Connection Methods All popular DSL and Cable Modems and connection methods are supported, including Fixed IP,

Dynamic IP, PPPoE, and PPTP.

• PPPoE Session Management Multiple PPPoE sessions are supported and you can choose to “map” sessions to individual PCs

if desired.

Page 1

• Multiple IP Address Support If your ISP allocates you multiple IP addresses, these are also supported and you can “map” IP

addresses to individual PCs if desired.

• Special Applications This feature allows you to use some non-standard applications, where the port number used for

the response is different to the port number used by the sender.

• Virtual Servers This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. For standard servers

such as Web, FTP or E-Mail servers, only the IP address of the server PC is required. You can also define you own Server types if required.

• Multiple DMZ A "DMZ" PC will receive incoming connection requests, which would otherwise be blocked. For

each IP address allocated by your ISP, a separate "DMZ" PC can be specified. So if your ISP has given you multiple IP addresses, you can have multiple “DMZ” PCs. Each “DMZ” PC has unrestricted 2-way Internet access, providing the ability to run programs that are otherwise incompatible with NAT routers like the Load Balancer.

• Access Filter The network Administrator can use the Access Filter to gain fine control over the Internet access

and applications available to LAN users. Five (5) user groups are available, and each group can have different access rights.

URL Filter

Use this feature to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users. You can even have different settings for different groups of PCs.

• Session Limit With Session Limit feature, if the numbers of new sessions for system exceed the maximum in

the sampling time, any new session in the system will be drop.

• System Filter Exception With firewall exception, the packets will not be processed by firewall or NAT module, but be

processed directly by system protocol stack.

Page 2

Other Features

• 4-Port Switching Hub The Load Balancer incorporates a 4-port 10 /100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or

extend your LAN.

• DHCP Server Support Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices

upon request. The Load Balancer can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN.

• Multi Segment LAN Support LANs containing one or more segments are supported, via The Load Balancer's built-in static

routing table.

• ARP proxy The ARP proxy feature allows you to assign an external (Internet) IP address to The Load

Balancer's LAN port. This allows Servers on your LAN to have external (Internet) IP addresses.

• Easy Setup Use your favorite WEB browser for configuration.

• Remote Management The Load Balancer can be managed from any PC on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection

exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the Internet.

• Password - protected Configuration Optional password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the

configuration data and settings.

• HTTP Firmware Upgrade and backup The web management feature allows you to use HTTP upgrade new firmware and backup

system configuration from local or even from remote site. As long as you enable “Remote upgrade” and “Remote web-based setup” from Advanced feature web page.

• Email Alert It will send a warning email to the system administrator, if one of the WAN ports was

disconnected when both WAN ports are enabled.

• Syslog It can generate real time system information on the web page or a particular machine. It is useful

to monitor the device.

• QoS Configuration.

This function will make some specified packets with higher priority for pass-through. Especially you use real-time applications like Internet phone, video conference,. etc.

• UPnP To “Enable” UpnP (Universal Plug & Play), the load balancer will become one of the network

devices. It is useful to discovery and control network devices, such as Internet gateway.

Overview

Basic Setup of your Load Balancer involves the following steps:

1. Attach The Load Balancer to one (1) PC, and configure it for your LAN.

2. Install your Load Balancer in your LAN, and connect the Broadband Modem or Modems.

3. Configure your Load Balancer for Internet Access.

4. Configure PCs on your LAN to use The Load Balancer.

Requirements

• One (1) or two (2) DSL or Cable modems, each with an Internet Access account with an ISP.

• Network cables. Use standard 10/100BaseT network (UTP) cables with RJ45 connectors

• TCP/IP network protocol must be installed on all PCs.

Procedure

1: Configuring The Load Balancer for your LAN

1. Use a standard LAN cable to connect your PC to any Hub port on The Load Balancer.

2. Connect the power adapter and power up The Load Balancer. Only use the power adapter provided; using a different one may cause hardware damage.

3. Start your PC. If your PC is already running, restart it. It will then obtain an IP address from The Load Balancer.

4. Start your WEB browser.

5. In the Address or Location box enter:

HTTP://192.168.1.1

6. You will be prompted for the User Name and password, as shown below.

Figure 2-1: Password Dialog

7. Enter admin for the "User Name" and leave the "Password" blank.

• The "User Name" is always admin

Page 8

• You can and should set a password, using the following Admin Password screen.

No Response ?

• Is your PC using a Fixed IP address ? If so, you must configure your PC to use an IP address within the range 192.168.1.2 to

192.168.1.254, with a Network Mask of 255.255.255.0. See Appendix B – Windows TCP/IP Setup for details.

• Check that The Load Balancer is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is powered ON.

8. After the login, you will then see the Admin Password screen, as shown below. Assign a password by entering it in the "Password" and "Verify Fields.

Figure 2-2: Home Screen (Admin Password)

Page 9

9. Select LAN & DHCP from the menu. You will see a screen like the example below.

Figure 2-3: LAN & DHCP

10. Ensure these settings are suitable for your LAN:

• The default settings are suitable for many situations.

• See the following table for details of each setting.

11. Save your data, then go to Step 2, Installing The Load Balancer in your LAN.

Settings – LAN & DHCP

LAN IP Configuration

• IP address - for the Load Balancer, as seen from the local LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN.

• Subnet Mask - The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C") networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN segment to which the Load Balancer is attached (the same value as the PCs on that LAN segment).

Optional Configuration

• DHCP Server Setup - If Enabled, the Load Balancer will allocate IP Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default and recommended value is "Enable". (Windows systems, by default, act as DHCP clients. This setting is called Obtain an IP address automatically.) If you are already using a DHCP Server, the DHCP

Page 10

Server setting must be Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be set to provide the IP address of the Load Balancer as the Default Gateway.

• LAN Any IP –By default is disabled. If you enable “LAN Any IP”, that means no matter what static IP address hold on the client (your PC). The client has do not need to change the IP address, even though it has different IP segment than LAN segment. It still can access Internet through NAT.

DHCP Configuration

DHCP Free List

• Lease Time – It is a finite period of time for a DHCP server lease an IP address to a client..

• DNS Server IP for Client – An IP address of the default DNS server for the client requesting DHCP service.

• Offered IP Range fields set the values used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients supported.

• Free Entry indicates how many DHCP entries are not currently allocated, and still available.

This table shows the IP addresses which have been allocated by the DHCP Server function. For each address which has been allocated, the following information is shown.

• Name – The "hostname" of the PC. In some cases, this may not be known.

• MAC Address – The physical address (network adapter address) of the PC.

• IP Address – The IP address allocated to this PC.

• Type – Indicates IP address to be dynamic or static.

• Status – If Dynamic, the IP address was allocated by this DHCP Server.

If Sniffed, the IP address was detected by examining the LAN, rather than allocated by the DHCP Server. In this case, the Name is usually not known.

• Time Left – The time expired since which IP address is leased.

Page 11

2. Installing The Load Balancer in your LAN

Figure 2-4: Installation Diagram

1. Ensure The Load Balancer and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF. Leave the modem or modems connected to their data line.

2. Connect the Broadband modem or modems to The Load Balancer.

• If using only one (1) Broadband modem, connect it to the "WAN 1" port.

• Use the cable supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was supplied, use a

standard cable.

3. Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on The Load Balancer.

• Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously.

• If you need to connect The Load Balancer to another Hub, just use a standard LAN cable to

connect any port on The Load Balancer to a standard port on another hub. Any LAN port on The Load Balancer will automatically act as an "Uplink" port when required.

4. Power Up

• Power on the Cable or DSL modem or modems.

• Connect the supplied power adapter to The Load Balancer and power up.

5. Check the LEDs

• The Power LED should be ON.

• The WAN – Link LED should be ON, if the corresponding WAN port is connected to a

broadband modem.

• The Error LED will flash during start up, but will then turn Off. If it stays On, there is an error

condition.

4: Configure PCs on your LAN

Overview

For each PC, the following may need to be configured:

• TCP/IP network settings

• Internet Access configuration

TCP/IP Settings

If using the default Load Balancer settings, and the default Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made. Just start (or restart) your PC.

• By default, The Load Balancer will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.

• For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client. In Windows, this is called Obtain an IP address automatically. Just start (or restart) your PC, and it will obtain an IP address from The Load Balancer.

• If using fixed IP addresses on your LAN, or you wish to check your TCP/IP settings, refer to Appendix B – Windows TCP/IP Setup.

Internet Access

To configure your PCs to use The Load Balancer for Internet access, follow this procedure:

For Windows 9x/2000

1. Select Start Menu - Settings - Control Panel - Internet Options.

• Ensure your DNS settings are correct.

Linux Clients

To access the Internet via The Load Balancer, it is only necessary to set The Load Balancer as the "Gateway", and ensure your Name Server settings are correct.

Ensure you are logged in as "root" before attempting any changes.

Fixed IP Address

By default, most Unix installations use a fixed IP Address. If you wish to continue using a fixed IP Address, make the following changes to your configuration.

Page 17

• Set your Default Gateway to the IP Address of The Load Balancer.

• Ensure your DNS (Name server) settings are correct.

To act as a DHCP Client (recommended)

The procedure below may vary according to your version of Linux and X -windows shell.

1. Start your X Windows client.

2. Select Control Panel - Network

3. Select the "Interface" entry for your Network card. Normally, this will be called "eth0".

4. Click the Edit button, set the "protocol" to "DHCP", and save this data.

5. To apply your changes Use the "Deactivate" and "Activate" buttons, if available. OR, restart your system.

Page 18

3: Advanced Port Setup

Overview

• Port Options contains some options, which can be set on either or both WAN ports. For most situations, the default values are satisfactory.

• Load Balance screen is only functional if you are using both WAN ports. It allows you to determine the proportion of WAN traffic sent through each port.

• Advanced PPPoE setup is required if you wish to use multiple sessions on one or both of the WAN ports. It can also be used to manually connect or disconnect a PPPoE session. Otherwise, this screen can be ignored.

• Advanced PPTP setup is required if using the PPTP connection method.

Port Options

Figure 3-1: Port Options

Page 19

Settings – Port Options

Interface

Connection Health Check

• WAN Ports – To select the WAN port for option settings

• MTU –The largest amount of data that can be transferred across a

given physical network. Ethernet limits transfers to 1500 octets of data. Normally, you should leave this value at its default value. Change it only if the ISP is providing a MTU that is not optimal

• Method – ICMP: The health check is performed by sending an ICMP echo request packet to the specific destination.

The specific destination ("Alive Indicator") could be either:

1. If the input box is filled (NAME or IP address): the host is used.

2. If the input box is left blank: gateway of WAN interface will be used. Then if one ICMP echo reply packet from Alive Indicator or gateway is received, the connection is considered OK. If there is no response received after 4 tries, the connection is considered as failed.

HTTP: The device gets TCP connection with the Alive Indicator

first. Then the device sends HTTP HEAD packet to the Alive Indicator. If any HTTP DATA from the Alive Indicator is received, the connection is considered OK. If there are no response received after 5 tries, the connection is considered as failed.

Traffic: If there is no traffic on the WAN port in the Interval

time, the connection is considered as failed

• Interval – The period to check if the WAN port is alive or not.

Transparent Bridge Option

• Alive Indicator – This is used for the ICMP or HTTP Method to determine if your Internet connection is active or not. (You can enter either the IP address or host name

• Bridge Mode – If Set to Enable, traffic from Lan hosts with real IPs can go through the specific WAN port without NAT translation. This device works like a bridge switch for that specific WAN port.

• NetBIOS Broadcast – If enabled, NetBIOS Broadcast packets are allowed to pass through the device

Page 20

Transparent Bridge Option (for all interface)

• Traffic Management – Strict binding: Traffic from bridge hosts (eg. transparent to WAN1) can only go through that a specified WAN (eg. WAN1) interface. Loose binding: Traffic from bridge hosts (eg. transparent to WAN1) can go through an alternative WAN (eg. WAN2) interface when binded interface (eg. WAN1) is down. It acts like a failover mechanism for Transparent Bridge mode. Load Balancing: Traffic from bridge hosts (eg. transparent to WAN1) can go through either WAN (eg. WAN1 or WAN2) interface based on the loading mechanism specified in the Load Balance section. It acts like a load balancing mechanism for Transparent Bridge mode. No IP Translation: When Bridge mode is set to Loose binding or Load Balancing, traffic from bridge hosts (eg. transparent to WAN1) can go through an alternative WAN (eg. WAN2) interface with its original IP (if checked) or with an alternative WAN IP (if unchecked). That is, NAT is performed.

• ARP Table – ARP Table is used by the device to determine the bridge hosts location (eg. inside/outside WAN and which WAN). Its size can be adjusted if needed.
