Chapter 1: Introduction
1Introduction
The models LANCOM 821+, LANCOM 1721+ VPN and LANCOM 1711+ VPN
are fully-featured routers that therefore also can be used in combination with
the integrated firewall for providing secure Internet access to a complete local
network (LAN).
The VPN option, which is either integrated already or can be activated subsquently, enables the LANCOM 1721+ VPN and LANCOM 1711+ VPN to act as
powerful Dynamic VPN gateways for external offices or mobile users.
The LANCOM Router models offer each a DSL or ADSL connector and also an
ISDN connector. The ISDN line can be used as back- up for the DSL connection,
for remote management of the router, as basis for the office communication
via LANCAPI or for establishing VPN connections to remote sites with dynamic
IP addresses.
EN
By using the Voice over IP function, these devices can transfer voice data over
broadband Internet connections as well.
1.1 How do ADSL and ADSL 2+ work?
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is currently the most common technology for broadband Internet connections. Standard and almost ubiquitous
telephone lines (analog or DSL) are the basis for DSL data transfer to the nearest telephone exchange. From here, the data is passed directly on to the Internet over high-speed connections.
The asymmetric DSL variant ADSL was developed for applications where users
receive large amounts of data but transmit only small amounts, such as when
surfing in the WWW. ADSL subscribers can receive data at up to 8 Mbps
("downstream") and transmit at up to 800 kbps ("upstream"). ADSL providers
are able to reduce these maximum rates as they please.
To satisfy the strongly increasing demand for higher bandwidths, the standards ADSL 2 and ADSL 2+ provider higher data rates as a basis for applications such as video streaming or high-definition TV (HDTV) over the Internet.
Depending on the Internet provider, ADSL 2 devices support downstream data
rates of up to 12 Mbps, and ADSL 2+ devices support up to 24 Mbps. Handshake routines during connection establishment ensure that the standards
ADSL, ADSL 2 and ADSL 2+ are intercompatible.
Parallel to data transfer, ADSL also provides full and unlimited support for the
classic applications in telephony (telephone, fax, answering machine, PBX).

This is facilitated by splitters which separate the voice frequencies from the
data frequencies.
1.2 What does VPN offer?
For LANCOM
1711+ VPN and
LANCOM 1721+
VPN only
EN
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) can be used to set up secure data communi-
cations over the Internet.
The models LANCOM 1721+ VPN and LANCOM 1711+ VPN are fac-
tory equipped to support VPN with 5 active tunnels. With the additional LANCOM VPN Option, VPN support can be extended to 25
active tunnels (incl. activated hardware accelerator).
The following structure results when using the Internet instead of direct connections:
HEADQUARTER
LAN
VPN GATEWAY
SERVER
BRANCH

All participants have fixed or dial-up connections to the Internet. Expensive
dedicated lines are no longer needed.
All that is required is the Internet connection of the LAN in the headquar-
ters. Special switching devices or routers for dedicated lines to individual
participants are superfluous.
The subsidiary also has its own connection to the Internet.

Chapter 1: Introduction
The RAS PCs connect to the headquarters LAN via the Internet.
The Internet is available virtually everywhere and typically has low access
costs. Significant savings can thus be achieved in relation to switched or dedicated connections, especially over long distances.
The physical connection no longer exists directly between two participants;
instead, the participants rely on their connection to the Internet. The access
technology used is not relevant in this case: Broadband technology such as
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is ideal. A conventional ISDN line can be used,
too.
The technologies of the individual participants do not have to be compatible
to one another, as would be the case for conventional direct connections. A
single Internet access can be used to establish multiple simultaneous logical
connections to a variety of remote sites.
The resulting savings and high flexibility makes the Internet (or any other IP
network) an outstanding backbone for a corporate network.

Meanings of the LEDs
In the following sections we will use different terms to describe the behaviour
of the LEDs:
Blinking means, that the LED is switched on or off at regular intervals in
the respective indicated colour.
Flashing means, that the LED lights up very briefly in the respective col-
our and stay then clearly longer (approximately 10x longer) switched off.
Inverse flashing means the opposite. The LED lights permanently in the
respective colour and is only briefly interrupted.
Flickering means, that the LED is switched on and off in irregular inter-
vals.

Reset switch
The reset switch has two different functions depending on the length of time
that it is pressed:
Restarting the device (soft reset) – push the button for less than five
seconds. The device will restart.
Resetting the configuration (hard reset) – push the button for more
than five seconds. All the device's LEDs will light up green and stay
on. As soon as the reset switch is released, the device will restart with
factory default settings.
Reset button functions
The reset button offers two basic functions—boot (restart) and reset (to the
factory settings)—which are called by pressing the button for different
lengths of time.
EN
It is not always possible to install a device under lock and key. There is consequently a risk that the configuration will be deleted by mistake if a co-worker
presses the reset button too long. With the suitable setting, the behavior of
the reset button can be controlled.
Configuration tool Call
WEBconfig, Telnet Expert configuration > Setup > Config
Reset button
This option controls the behavior of the reset button when it is pressed:
Ignore: The button is ignored.
Boot only: With a suitable setting, the behavior of the reset button can
be controlled; the button is then ignored or a press of the button
prompts a re-start only, however long it is held down.
Please observe the following notice: The settings 'Ignore' or 'Boot only' makes it
impossible to reset the configuration to the factory settings. If the password is lost for
a device with this setting, there is no way to access the configuration! In this case the
serial communications interface can be used to upload a new firmware version to the
device—this resets the device to its factory settings, which results in the deletion of the
former configuration. Instructions on firmware uploads via the serial configuration
interface are available in the LCOS reference manual.

Reset-or-boot (standard setting): Press the button briefly to re-start
the device. Pressing the button for 5 seconds or longer restarts the
device and resets the configuration to its factory settings.
All LEDs on the device light up continuously.
Once the switch is released the device will restart with the restored
factory settings.
EN
After resetting, the device starts completely unconfigured and all set-

The installation of the LANCOM Router base station takes place in the following steps:
LAN – connect the LANCOM Router to your LAN or to an individual PC.
For that purpose, plug the included network cable (green plugs) into the
LAN connector of the device and the other end into a free network
connecting socket of your local network, into a free socket of a hub/switch
or into the network socket of an individual PC.
The LAN connector identifies automatically the transfer rate (10/100
Mbps) of the connected network device (autosensing). A parallel connection of devices with different speeds and types is possible.
You should never have more than one unconfigured LANCOM Router
in a network segment at any given time. All unconfigured LANCOM
Router devices use the same IP address (with the final digits '254'),
which would result in an address conflict. To avoid problems, always
configure multiple LANCOM Router devices one at a time, immediately assigning each device a unique IP address (one that does not
end with '254').

ADSL – connect the ADSL interface to the splitter using the supplied
ADSL connector cable (transparent plugs).
DSL – connect the WAN interface to the DSL modem socket using the
supplied DSL connector cable (dark blue plugs).
ISDN – to connect the LANCOM Router to the ISDN, plug one end of the
supplied ISDN connector cable (light blue plugs) in the ISDN/S
port

of the router and the other end into an ISDN/S
point-to-point mode connection.
Configuration port – you may optionally connect the router directly to
the serial port (RS-232, V.24) of a PC. Use the cable supplied for this purpose. Connect the configuration port of the LANCOM (LANCOM 821+
and LANCOM 1721+ VPN) or (LANCOM 1711+ VPN) with a free serial
port of the PC.
Alternatively you may connect an external modem (analogue or GSM) to
the serial port using the LANCOM modem adapter kit, if you would like to
make use of an additional WAN line for remote maintenance, backup connections or dynamic VPN.
Connect to power – Connect socket of the unit to a power supply
