Figure 5-1 PVC attachment settings

As Figure 5-1 shows, there are five options for each Ethernet port (LAN1 to LAN4) in the drop-down list: Attached to PVC1/2/3/4 and Attached to Router (Default).

Upon the configuration of these LAN ports, you need to click <Apply> to save your configuration and have it take effect. Then in the [PVC Setting] section set VPIs/VCIs for the corresponding PVCs. V alues of VPI/VCI are provided by your ISP. Click <Apply> in this section to save your configuration.

Caution:

z You can manage your DR814Q only through the PC connected to the management

port or the USB port.

z It is recommended to configure at least one Ethernet port as management port. If all

the four Ethernet ports are configured to be bound to PVCs, you can still access the configuration management page through the USB port. Refer to Chapter 8 “Appendix – USB Configuration” for more information about the USB port.

z The VPI/VCI values of different PVCs cannot be identical with each other or the

same as those on the other configuration pages.

The following example illustrates the configuration upon the assumption:

User Manual Aolynk DR814Q ADSL2+ Broadband Router 5 Advanced Configuration

z Attach a LAN port to PVC 16/35 to access the IPTV W ebsite that your ISP set up.

The Website uses DHCP to assign IP a ddresses dynamically.

z Attach other two LAN ports to PVC 16/100, and the PCs con necting to these port s

access the Internet through PPPoE dial-up connections.

z Set the last LAN port as the management interface and apply NAT-enabled

PPPoE service on it. Attach it to PVC 8/35. The username and password your ISP assigns are userName and myPassword respectively.

Follow these steps to achieve the settings on your DR814Q.

1) On the [Ethernet Port Attachment Setting] page (see Figure 5-2), select the

Attached to PVC1 option from the LAN1 drop-down list to attach LAN1 to PVC1 and attach LAN2 and LAN3 to PVC2 in the same way. Leave the LAN4 default setting Attached to Router untouched. Click the <Apply> to save your configuration.

2) In the [PVC Setting] section, set 16/35 as the VPI/VCI value of PVC1, 16/100 as

II. QoS configuration

For the upstream packets over an ADSL line, your DR814Q supports multiple asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) services, such as CBR, VBR-rt, VBR, UBR, and ABR. DR814Q provides different measures, caching space, scheduling priorities, and service shaping to allocate appropriate bandwidth to ATM services of different types. This ensures high-performance QoS.

Click <QoS Setting…> in the [PVC Setting] section as shown in Figure 5-1 to enter the [QoS Config] page of a corresponding PVC as below.

Figure 5-5 QoS Config page

You can set different ATM service types for specified PVCs from the ATM Traffic Class drop-down list and configure QoS parameters for the selected service type. For more information, refer to Table 5-1.

User Manual Aolynk DR814Q ADSL2+ Broadband Router 5 Advanced Configuration

Table 5-1 Description of commonly used ATM service types

Service type Description

Suitable for services that are not real-time-critical and with large burst traffic. UBR demands best-effect services on the network

UBR (unspecified bit rate)

side. When applying for services, you are not required to set QoS parameters except for PCR, which limits the upper rate. The network side does not guarantee QoS for UBR services. UBR cells will be discarded first in a network congestion. Error correction is carried out by upper-layer protocols. Typical applications are FTP and E-mail.

Suitable for services that require static bandwidth and demand the

CBR (constant bit rate)

highest priority. This type of service can provide stable traffic with the minimum burst. Only PCR parameter is needed for CBR service application. The source can transmit cells at a negotiated PCR or a rate lower than it. Typical applications are circuit and emulated voice.

Sensitive to delay and jitter of data flow. Similar to CBR except that VBR-rt (real-time variable bit rate)

they are delay- and jitter-sensitive. VBR-rt services allow limited

burst. The transmission rate on source side can be different at

different time. The parameters required for VBR-rt service

application include PCR, SCR, and MBS or BT. Typical VBR-rt

applications are voice, interactive video services and IPTV.

Suitable for bursting non-real-time services. Compared to VBR-rt, VBR (non-real-time variable bit rate)

a distinct feature of VBR services is that demands of real-time are

not so crucial, and the priority for service data processed on the

network side is also lower than that of VBR-tithe parameters

required by VBR services include PCR, SCR, and MBS (or BT), the

same as that of VBR-rt.

Keep the default value unchanged for those options unrelated to the configuration. As shown in Figure 5-5, if the VBR-rt option is selected from the ATM Traffic Class drop-down list, you need to set values for Peak Cell Rate, Max Burst Size, and Sustainable Cell Rate and leave 0 in the Burst Tolerance and Minimum Cell Rate text boxes.

An example is taken to explain how to configure ATM QoS parameters. Suppose that: The actual upstream rate of ADSL is 896 Kbps, and two PVCs (PVC1 and PVC2) are

configured on a single ADSL line. PVC1 is used for network access, with not much real-time requirement. PVC2 is used for real-time video conferencing, re quiri ng a lea st upstream/downstream rate of 384 Kbps.

Analysis: A total upstream rate of 896 Kbps is configured for PVC1 and PVC2. Audio and video

services carried out over them may be interfered. For example, an uploading service, which consumes a bandwidth larger than 500 Kbps, bursts on PVC1 when a video

User Manual Aolynk DR814Q ADSL2+ Broadband Router 5 Advanced Configuration

conference is carried out over PVC2. This results in the available bandwidth for PVC2 less than 384 Kbps, thus causing the audio and video service interrupted.

To avoid the above problem. configure QoS parameters for PVC2 as shown in Figure 5-5. For PVC1, keep the default UBR settings. Thus, PVC1 can occupy all the upstream bandwidth when there is no traffic on PVC2, and PVC2 can always be guaranteed with sufficient bandwid th for audio and vid eo services ov er it. This ensu res normal upload over PVC1 and non-interrupted real-time communi cation over PVC2.

 Note:

QoS parameters for WAN services mean the same as those for LAN/PVC attachment.

5.2 Security

Click [Security] in the navigation bar to enter the corresponding page, where you can configure the virtual server, firewall policy, trigger and IDS function.

5.2.1 Virtual Server

Figure 5-6 Virtual server settings

I. Set the interface

Before configuring the virtual server, you need to select a service interface in the [IP Interface] drop-down list. The virtual server and DMZ host will run on this interface.

User Manual Aolynk DR814Q ADSL2+ Broadband Router 5 Advanced Configuration

II. Set the virtual server

When NAT (network address translation) is enabled on an internal network device, access to it from the Internet will be forbidden. In this case, a virtual server is needed if you want to provide public services (Web services, E-mail, FTP, for example) to outside. Although the internal address is still inaccessible for external users, the DR814Q can identify service requests and forward them to the virtual server.

Table 5-2 Description of virtual server setting items

Item Description

Internal Address

Type in the IP address of the internal PC that will provide the

application service. Protocol Select the protocol of the application service. External Port

Range

Type in the range of ports that the application provides for

access from outside. Internal Port Range Type in the range of ports that the application actually uses.

After the configuration, click <Add>. The virtual server is added to the virtual server list. You can click <Delete> to delete the corresponding virtual server.

Example: To configure the PC with the address 192.168.1.100 as a virtual server to provide an FTP service for the outside (with the port number 21), refer to the configuration in Figure 5-6. Thus, all FTP requests from the Internet users will be forwarded to the PC (server) with the fixed IP address 192.168.1.100.

Caution:

The values for [Internal Port Range] and [External Port Range] should be set as the same, or the configuration will fail.

III. Set the DMZ host

The Demilitarized Zones (DMZ) host is actually a default virtual server. When the DR814Q receives a connection request from the external network, it first searches the virtual service list for a matching item. If a corresponding item is found, the DR814Q forwards the request message to the corresponding virtual server. Otherwise, it forwards the message to the DMZ host.

Type the IP address of the PC to be used as the DMZ host in th e [DMZ Host IP Address] field.

User Manual Aolynk DR814Q ADSL2+ Broadband Router 5 Advanced Configuration

5.2.3 Trigger

A trigger is u sed to deal with applicatio n protocols that set up sepa rate sessions. Some application protocols, such as NetMeeting, open the primary sessions and secondary connections at the same time during the normal operations. The trigger tells the security mechanism to handle these secondary sessions and instruct it how to handle them. The trigger handles the situation dynamically, allowing the secondary sessions only when appropriate. These newly triggered sessions are not restricted by the firewall.

Caution:

Resetting the DR814Q removes all the customized settings and restores the default ones.

Symptom 5: Fail to access the Web-based configuration page. Solution: Follow the procedures to check whether:

1) The version of the Internet Explorer is Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or Netscape

6.0 or later.

2) PC and the DR814Q are in the same network segment.

3) Use the ping command in an MS-DOS window to check the network connectivity:

z Ping 127.0.0.1 to see if the TCP/IP protocol is installed. z Ping 192.168.1.1 (the default IP address of the gateway) to check for the

connection between the PC and DR814Q in the LAN.

4) If the physical connections are normal, but you still cannot access the Web-based configuration pages of the DR814Q, make sure the proxy server and the dialup connection are disabled.

Symptom 6: Fail to access the Internet with your PC. Solution: Follow the procedure:

1) Check whether the ADSL2+ Link LED is solid ON. If not, check the ADSL line connection.

2) Check whether the IP address is obtaine d and you can ping the IP address of the DR814Q’s LAN port if you configure the PC to obtain the IP addresses of the host and the DNS server automatically (recommended). Refer to section 6.2.1 “Ping” for instructions on how to use the ping utility. If you cannot ping the port, check if the Ethernet cable is correct.

3) When the current PC is specified with a private IP address, make sure that: The PC resides in the same segment as that of the DR814Q’s LAN port. The IP address of the gateway is specified as that of the DR814Q’s LAN port. The IP address of the DNS is specified as that of the DR814Q’s LAN port or the DNS Server the ISP allocates. The host is able to ping the I P address of the DR814Q’s LAN port.

4) When the host can communicate with the DR814Q normally, but cannot connect to the Internet, log into the [Status] page of the DR814Q (refer to section 4.5 “Status”) first, and check to see if the WAN port of the DR814Q has obtained the Internet IP address and if the default route exists.

Symptom 7: You cannot access the Web p ages through the PC in the LAN. Solution: Follow the procedure to check:

User Manual Aolynk DR814Q ADSL2+ Broadband Router 6 Troubleshooting

1) The DNS server IP address specified on the PC is correct. If you specify the PC to obtain the DNS server address dynamically, verify with your ISP that the address configured on the DR814Q is correct, and then you can use the ping utility to test the connectivity with your ISP’s DNS server.

2) Generally, if a host can ping the Internet IP address, but cannot open the Web pages, the DNS server of the ISP is experiencing a failure temporarily. In this case, you can choose either of the following to solve the problem: Manually change you r PC’s DNS IP address to the address of a normally functioning DNS server. Log into the Web page of the DR814Q and manually modify the configuration for DNS Relay (refer to section 4.2.2 “DNS Relay"), and then check by the nslookup command as instructed in section 6.2.2 “Nslookup”.

Symptom 8: Fail to save the changes made on the Web-based configuration pages. Solution: Make sure that you click <Apply> to confirm every change you have made.

After completing all the settings, enter the [Save Configuration] page to save them, thus making them take effect when the DR814Q is po wered on next time.

Symptom 9: You can visit most websites successfully, while access to some websites fails due to timeout. Configuring the DR814Q to operate in the bridge mode and your PC to establish a dialup connection can solve this problem.

Solution: This may be caused by an over-high MTU value set on the router between the user end and the website. Usually you can set a small MTU value (1440, for example) on the detail setting page of the WAN service to avoid this problem. Refer to section 4.2.1 “WAN” for detailed operations.

Symptom 10: Some services are unavailable once the firewall is enabled. Solution: As the firewall rules of the DR814Q are very strict, it is recommended

someone familiar with the WAN services and router configuration enable the firewall and configure the firewall rules. Before the creation of firewall rules, you must be clear about the Internet service deployment. It is recommended that you disable the firewall.

6.2 Diagnosis Tools

6.2.1 Ping

Use the ping command to check whether your PC can recognize other computers on the network. A ping command sends messages to the specified computer. If the computer receives the messages, it replies with the response message. Before using the command, you must know the IP addre ss of the destination host with which your PC is trying to communicate.

At the DOS prompt, enter the following command:

ping 192.168.1.1

If the destination host receives the packet, the command prompt window displays the contents as shown in Figure 6-1.

User Manual Aolynk DR814Q ADSL2+ Broadband Router 6 Troubleshooting

Figure 6-1 Use the ping command – the ping succeeds

If the destination PC is not reachable, the Request timed out message is displayed as follows:

Figure 6-2 Use the ping command – the ping fails

To check the connectivity with the DR814Q, use the ping command with the default IP address of the LAN port (192.168.1.1) or the address you assign.

To check the connectivity with the Internet, enter an Internet domain name, such as www.yahoo.com (216.115.108.243).If you want to look up the IP address of a website, use the nslookup command as instructed in section 6.2.2 “Nslookup” for details.

For other operating systems running the IP protocol, you can enter the same ping command at a command prompt or through a system administration utility.

6.2.2 Nslookup

The nslookup command is used to query the IP address associated with a domain name. You can specify the common domain nam e and use the nslookup command to look up in the DNS server (usually located though your ISP).If that name is not in your ISP’s DNS table, the request is then sent to a higher-le vel server until the name is found. The server then returns the associated IP address.

On Windows-based computer , you can execute the nslookup command from the [S tart] menu. Choose [St art/Run] and in the open text box type the following:

User Manual Aolynk DR814Q ADSL2+ Broadband Router 6 Troubleshooting

nslookup

Click <OK> and a command prompt window appears. The [Command Prompt – nslookup] window is displayed with a bracket prompt (>).At the prompt, type the domain name of the desired Website, for example www.microsoft.com.

The window displays the associated IP addre ss as shown below.

Figure 6-3 Use the nslookup command

Some websites with heavy traffic use multiple servers to carry the same information. So it is common to have several IP addresses associated with one Internet domain name.

To exit from the nslookup utility, enter exit.

f the network ID and the host ID: A bit set to 1 means this bit is part of the network ID o

and a bit set to 0 means this bit is part of the host ID.

For any Class C address, all the bits in the filed 1 through field 3 are part of the netwo rk ID, but note how the mask specifies that the first bit in f extra bit has only two values (0 and 1), this means there are two subnets.

XXIII. NIC

Network interface card. An adapter provides the physical interface for your network cabling. The Ethernet NIC usually has an RJ-45 connector.

XXIV. Packet

Data that consists of units transmitted on a network are called packets. Each packet consists of a header, which contains the information about the source and destination addresses of the packet, and a data field.

XXV. Ping

A program used to check whether the host associated with an IP address can connect to the network. It can also be used to reveal the IP address for a given domain name.

XXVI. Port

A physical access point on a device such as a computer or router, through which data flows into and out of the device.

XXVII. PPP

Point-to-point protocol. It is a communication protocol for data transmission between devices over the standard telephone line. The WAN port on the DR814Q uses two types of the PPP, that is, PPPoA and PPPoE.

XXVIII. PPPoA

Point-to-point protocol over ATM. One of the two PPP service types. The other type is PPPoE. You can specify only one PPPoA service for each VC.

XXIX. PPPoE

Point-to-point protocol over Ethernet. One of the two PPP service types. The other type is PPPoA. You can specify multiple PPPoE services for each VC.

XXX. Protocol

A set of rules to govern the data transmission. The two connected ends must obey these rules to transmit data.

XXXI. Remote

A geographically sep arated location. For example, an employee on travel who logs into the company’s intranet is a remote user.

XXXII. RJ-1 1

XXXIV. Routing

Forwarding data between the local network and the Internet through the most efficient path, based on the data’s destination IP address and current network conditions. A device that performs routing is called a router.

XXXV. SNMP

Simple network management protocol (SNMP), a network management standard, is widely used in the TCP/IP network. SNMP provides a way to manage the network nodes from the host located in the center of the network, such as the server, work station, router, bridge, and hub. It usually performs the management through the distributed structure administration and proxy.

XXXVI. TCP/IP

Transmission control protocol/internet protocol. It defines a suite of the basic protocols, not just the TCP/IP protocol, for the network

communication.
