LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Preface
Thank you for placing your trust in this
The top models of the LANCOM router series serve as extremely powerful
Dynamic VPN gateways for medium-sized and large locations.
Due to the Fast Ethernet uplink, LANCOM devices are ideal partners for all
connection variants.
Integrated LANCOM High Security Firewall
With 100 up to 1000 VPN channels the LANCOM router series offers
enough capacity for high-bandwidth couplings (LANCOM 8011 VPN with
hardware accelerator).
With the IPSec extension LANCOM dynamic VPN it is possible to connect
branch offices with dynamic IP addresses (standard broadband connection) at any time—even if the receiving station is not online.
DMZ ports and separate internet address ranges (without NAT) support
the operation of your own web servers.
The IP quality of service functions provide dynamic bandwidth manage-
ment, in particular for Voice over IP telephone systems, for critical applications or for certain user groups.
Due to its N:N IP address mapping also existing networks can be inte-
grated seamlessly into VPNs.
The provided management tools LANconfig and LANmonitor support a
complete real time monitoring apart from comfortable remote maintenance of the branch offices.
Further highlights are the extensive Firewall features, for example the
Stateful Inspection, Intrusion Detection and protection from Denial-ofService attacks.
Regular free software updates of the LANCOM operating system LCOS are
available at any time.

1Introduction
The models of the LANCOM router series operate as powerful Dynamic VPN
gateways with 200, 500 or 1000 VPN channels for remote sites or mobile
users.
Due to the Fast Ethernet uplink, the devices are the ideal partner for almost
all WAN connection variants. The integrated multi protocol router and the
integrated firewall enable a secure internet access for the local network. The
ISDN interface is mainly used to establish Dynamic VPN connections to remote
sites with dynamic IP addresses.
1.1 Which use does VPN offer?
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) can be used to set up cost- effective, public
IP networks, for example via the ultimate network: the Internet.
The model LANCOM 7111 VPN is equipped with 100 VPN channels by
default, the LANCOM 8011 VPN with 200 channels. With the additional LANCOM VPN Option the LANCOM 8011 VPN can be upgraded
to 500 or 1000 channels.
Chapter 1: Introduction
EN
While this may sound unspectacular at first, in practice it has profound effects.
To illustrate this, let's first look at a typical corporate network without VPN
technology. In the second step, we will see how this network can be optimized
by the deployment of VPN.
9
Page 10
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 1: Introduction
Conventional network infrastructure
First, let's have a look at a typical network structure that can be found in this
form or similar forms in many companies:
EN
LAN
Head Office
LAN
Subsidiary
ISDN ISDN
Workstation in
remote access,
e.g. homework
Internet
The corporate network is based on the internal network (LAN) in the headquarters. This LAN is connected to the outside world in three ways:
A subsidiary is connected to the LAN, typically using a leased line.
PCs dial into the central network via modem or ISDN connections (Remote
Access Service – RAS).
The central LAN has a connection to the Internet so that its users can
access the Web, and send and receive e-mail.
All connections to the outside world are based on dedicated lines, i.e.
switched or leased lines. Dedicated lines are very reliable and secure. On the
other hand, they involve high costs. In general, the costs for dedicated lines
are dependent on the distance. Especially in the case of long-distance connections, keeping an eye out of cost-effective alternatives can be worthwhile.
10
The appropriate hardware must be available in the headquarters for every
type of required connection (analog dial-up, ISDN, leased lines). In addition
Page 11
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 1: Introduction
to the original investment costs, ongoing costs are also incurred for the
administration and maintenance of this equipment.
Networking via the Internet
The following structure results when using the Internet instead of direct connections :
LAN
Head Office
LAN
Subsidiary
Internet
Workstation in remote
access
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.
The RAS PCs connect to the headquarters LAN via the Internet.
EN
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: ideally is the use of broadband
11
Page 12
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 1: Introduction
technologies such as DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) or G.703 (2- Mbit leased
lines). But also a conventional ISDN line can be used.
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 stations.
The resulting savings and high flexibility makes the Internet (or any other IP
EN
network) an outstanding backbone for a corporate network.
1.2 Firewall
The integrated Stateful Inspection Firewall ensures an effective protection
against undesired intrusion in your network by permitting only incoming data
traffic as reaction to outgoing data traffic. The router’s IP masquerading function hides all workstations of the LAN behind a single public IP address. The
actual identities (IP addresses) of the individual workstations remain concealed. Firewall filters of the router permit specific IP addresses, protocols and
ports to be blocked. With MAC address filters it is also possible to specifically
monitor the access of workstations in the LAN to the IP routing function of the
device.
12
LAN
Internet
Firewall
LANCOM
Further important features of the Firewall are
Intrusion Detection
Break-in attempts into the local network or on the central Firewall are recognized, repelled and logged by the Intrusion Detection system (IDS) of
the LANCOM Wireless DSL. Thereby it can be selected between logging
within the device, email notification, SNMP trap or SYSLOG alarms.
Page 13
Denial-of-Service Protection
Attacks from the Internet can be break- in attempts as well as attacks with
the aim of blocking the accessibility and functionality of individual
services. Therefore a LANCOM Wireless DSL is equipped with appropriate
protective mechanisms, which recognize well-known hacker attacks and
which guarantee the functionality.
Quality-of-Service / Traffic management
The generic term Quality-of-Service (brief: QoS) summarizes the functions
of the LANCOM which guarantee certain service qualities. The advantage
is that the QoS functions can take place by means of the existing powerful
classification methods of the Firewall (e.g. limitation of subnetworks,
single workstations or certain services).
Guaranteed minimum bandwidths give priority to enterprise critical applications, VoIP PBX installations or certain user groups.
More details about the function of the Stateful Inspection Firewall of
your LANCOM router can be found in the reference manual on the
LANCOM CD.
1.3 What does a router do?

Chapter 1: Introduction
EN
The following sections describe the functionality of routers in general.
The functions supported by your device are listed in the table ’What
can your LANCOM router do?’ →page 15.
Routers connect LANs at different locations and individual PCs to form a Wide
Area Network (WAN). With the appropriate rights, any computer in this WAN
can access other computers and services of the complete WAN (as with 'PC 1'
accessing 'Server A' in the remote LAN in the diagram).

Chapter 1: Introduction
Connecting a LAN to the Internet does not technically differ from coupling
two LANs. The only difference is that it is not just a handful of computers
behind the Internet provider's router. Instead, it is the net of the networks the public Internet.
1.3.1 Bridgehead to the WAN
All routers have at least two connections:
EN
at least one for the LAN
at least one for WAN connections
In addition to LAN connectivity (10/100 Mbps Ethernet), several models also
offer an integrated switch. For the connecting to the WAN, the routers use
ISDN, xDSL/cable or ADSL connectors. Several devices contain additionally a
wireless network card and can thus integrate also stations of WLANs (Wireless
LANs) into the routing.
The router's task is to transfer data from the local network to the target network via a suitable WAN connection. Data is also transferred from the WAN
to the desired recipients in the LAN.
1.3.2 Areas of deployment for routers
Not possible with
all LANCOM
devices.
14
Routers are mainly used for the following applications:
Internet access for a LAN (e.g. via DSL or ISDN)
The Internet consists of countless large and small networks that are interconnected into the world's largest WAN via routers. The router links all the
workstation computers on your local area network to the global Internet.
Security functions such as IP masquerading protect your LAN against
unauthorized access from outside.
LAN to LAN coupling (via VPN or ISDN)
LAN to LAN coupling links individual LANs to form one large network,
even if this means crossing continents. A typical example: A branch office
is to be connected to the LAN of the headquarters. In principle, you can
connect LANs in two ways:
High-speed coupling via VPN
The fastest and most economical LAN to LAN links are possible with
VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology, as VPN uses the Internet as
the basis for its communications. The fast xDSL connection of the
router comes into its own here. The precondition: a VPN gateway with
Page 15
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 1: Introduction
access to the Internet is required on either side of the network interconnection.
VPN tunnel via the
Internet
Application
Internet access
VPN gateways
Conventional via ISDN
Without VPN, a LAN to LAN interconnection can alternatively be realized via ISDN. In this case, an intelligent line management and
sophisticated filter mechanisms keeps connection costs low.
Remote access to the company network (via VPN or ISDN)
The work of many office workers in modern organizations is less and less
dependent on any definite location—the most important factor here is
unimpaired access to shared and freely available information.
Remote Access Service (RAS) is the magic word here. Employees working
from home or field staff can dial into the company network via VPN or
ISDN. When working with remote access via ISDN, the router protects the
company network: the call back function only grants access to known and
registered users.

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.

The power LED flashes red/green in alternation until a configuration
password has been specified. Without a configuration password, the
configuration data of the LANCOM is insecure. Under normal circumstances, you would assign a configuration password during the basic
configuration (see instructions in the following chapter). For information about a later assignment of the configuration password see the
section ’Security settings’ →page 62.
The Online LED indicates the overall status of all WAN ports:

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.

2.4 Hardware installation
The installation of the LANCOM router base station takes place in the following steps:
Mounting – If desired, mount the device into a free slot of a 19” rack.
Page 25
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 2: Installation
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').
WAN – connect the WAN port with the included connector cable (dark
blue plug) e. g. with the ethernet port of a DSL modem or of a cable
modem.
EN
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
the router and the other end into an ISDN/S
multi-device mode or point-
0
port of
0
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 with a free serial
port of the PC.
Connect to power – Connect socket of the unit to a power supply
using the included power adapter and switch it on .
With the LANCOM 7111 VPN only use the included power supply unit!
Using an unsuitable power supply unit may cause damage or injury.
Operational? – After a short device self-test the Power LED will be per-
manently lit. Green LAN LEDs indicate the LAN sockets that have functioning connections.

Chapter 3: Basic configuration
3 Basic configuration
The basic configuration can be performed on a step-by- step basis using a
convenient setup wizard to guide you through the setup process and prompt
you for the required information.
First, this chapter will inform you which information is required for the basic
configuration. Use this section to assemble the information you will need
EN
3.1 Which information is necessary?
before launching the wizard.
Next, enter the data in the setup wizard. Launching the wizard and the process itself are described step by step - with separate sections for LANconfig and
WEBconfig. Thanks to the information that you have collected in advance, the
basic configuration is quick and effortless.
At the end of this chapter we will show you the settings that are needed for
the LAN's workstations to ensure trouble-free access to the router (’TCP/IP
settings to workstation PCs’ →page 37).
The basic configuration wizard will take care of the basic TCP/IP configuration
of the router, protect the device with a configuration password, and will set
up the ISDN connection if required. The following descriptions of the information required by the wizard are grouped in these three configuration sections:
TCP/IP settings
protection of the configuration
information on DSL connection
information on ISDN connection
configuring connect charge protection
28
3.1.1 TCP/IP settings
The TCP/IP configuration can be realized in two ways: either as a fully automatic configuration or manually. No user input is required for the fully automatic TCP/IP configuration. All parameters are set automatically by the setup
wizard. During manual TCP/IP configuration, the wizard will prompt you for
the usual TCP/IP parameters: IP address, netmask etc. (more on these topics
later).
Fully automatic TCP/IP configuration is only possible in certain network environments. The setup wizard therefore analyses the connected LAN to determine whether it supports fully automatic configuration.
Page 29
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 3: Basic configuration
New LAN—fully automatic configuration possible
If all connected network devices are still unconfigured, the setup wizard will
suggest fully automatic TCP/IP configuration. This may be the case in the following situations:
a single PC is connected to the router
setup of a new network
Fully automatic TCP/IP configuration will not be available when integrating
the LANCOM router in an existing TCP/IP LAN. In this case, continue with the
section ’Information required for manual TCP/IP configuration’ →page 29.
The result of the fully automatic TCP/IP configuration: the router will be
assigned the IP address '172.23.56.1' (netmask '255.255.255.0'). In addition,
the integrated DHCP server will be enabled so that the LANCOM router can
automatically assign IP addresses to the devices in the LAN.
Configure manually nevertheless?
The fully automatic TCP/IP configuration is optional. You may also select manual configuration instead. Make your selection after the following considerations:
Choose automatic configuration if you are not familiar with networks and
IP addresses.
Select manual TCP/IP configuration if you are familiar with networks and
IP addresses, and one of the following conditions is applicable:
You have not yet used IP addresses in your network but would like to
do so now. You would like to specify the IP address for your router,
selecting it from the address range reserved for private use, e.g.
'10.0.0.1' with the netmask '255.255.255.0'. At the same time you
will set the address range that the DHCP server uses for the other
devices in the network (provided that the DHCP server is switched on).
You have previously used IP addresses for the computers in your LAN.
EN
Information required for manual TCP/IP configuration
During manual TCP/IP configuration, the setup wizard will prompt you for the
following information:
IP address and netmask for the LANCOM router
Assign a free IP address from the address range of your LAN to the
LANCOM router and specify the netmask.
29
Page 30
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 3: Basic configuration
Enable DHCP server?
Disable the DHCP server function in the LANCOM router if you would like
to have a different DHCP server assign the IP addresses in your LAN.
3.1.2 Configuration protection
The password for configuration access to the LANCOM router protects the
configuration against unauthorized access. The configuration of the router
EN
contains a considerable amount of sensitive information such as your Internet
access information. We therefore strongly recommend protecting it with a
password.
The setup wizard for the basic configuration automatically disables remote
configuration access via ISDN, thus protecting your configuration against
tampering. ISDN remote configuration access can be enabled at any time
using the security wizard (see ’Have you permitted remote configuration?’
→page 69).
3.1.3 Settings for the DSL connection
For the WAN connection it may be necessary to enter the transfer protocol
being used. The wizard will e.g. automatically enter the correct settings for
major DSL providers. You only need to enter the protocol used by your access
provider if the wizard does not list your provider.
30
3.1.4 Settings for the ISDN connection
Set up the basic configuration of your ISDN connection if required. You will
need the following data:
One or more ISDN MSNs on which the router will accept calls. MSNs are
ISDN subscriber numbers that are assigned to you by your telephone provider. They are normally entered without an area code. These numbers are
only relevant for the router functions (LAN to LAN coupling, RAS), not for
remote configuration and LANCOM VPN Option.
A dialing prefix for access to the public telephone network. This is nor-
mally required only when using an ISDN PBX. '0' is the usual prefix. It is
used for all outgoing calls.
Finally, you should know whether your telephone provider transmits an
ISDN connect-charge pulse. This signal can be used by the LANCOM
router for connect-charge budgets and the accounting function.
Page 31
3.1.5 Connect charge protection
Connect charge protection blocks connections that go beyond a previously set
amount, protecting you from unexpectedly high connection costs.
In a LANCOM router, there are three independent budgets: For DSL access,
you can set a maximum connection time in minutes. In addition to this time
budget, there is also a budget for limiting ISDN connection charges.
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 3: Basic configuration
In order for the limitations according to connect charge rates to function properly, it is necessary to enter the information for connect
charge rates through ISDN.
Any budget can be deactivated by entering the value '0'.
It is possible to completely turn off connect charge protection
3.2 Instructions for LANconfig
Start up LANconfig by clicking Start Programs LANCOM
LANconfig
LANconfig automatically detects the new LANCOM router in the TCP/IP
network. Then the setup wizard starts that will help you make the basic
settings of the device or will even do all the work for you (provided a suitable network environment exists).
EN
If the setup wizard does not start automatically, start a manual search
for new devices on all ports (if the LANCOM router is connected via a
serial port) or in the network (Device Find).
If you cannot access an unconfigured LANCOM router, the problem
may be due to the netmask of the LAN: with less than 254 possible

In the following window, specify the password for configuration access.
Note that the password is case-sensitive and ensure that it is sufficiently
long (at least 6 characters).
In addition, you may specify whether the device may only be configured
from the local network or whether remote configuration via the WAN (i.e.
a remote network) is also permissible.
Please note that enabling this will also permit remote configuration
via the Internet. You should always make sure that the configuration
access is protected with a password.
32
In the next window, select your DSL provider from the list that is displayed.
If you select 'My provider is not listed here,' you must enter the transfer
protocol used by your DSL provider manually. Confirm your choice with
Next.
Enter the ISDN subscriber numbers (as MSNs, i.e. without area code) on
which the router will accept calls. Multiple numbers are separated by
semicolons. If you do not specify any MSNs, the router will answer all
incoming calls on the ISDN connection.
In addition, you can enter a trunk code for dialling into ISDN. Finally, you
should specify whether or not the tariff information is to be transmitted at
your ISDN connection. Confirm your choice with Next.
Connect charge protection can limit the cost of DSL and ISDN connections
to a predetermined amount if desired. Confirm your choice with Next.
Complete the configuration with Finish.

Section ’TCP/IP settings to workstation PCs’ on page 37 will describe
the settings required for the individual workstations in the LAN.
3.3 Instructions for WEBconfig
To configure the router with WEBconfig you must know how to address it in
the LAN. The reaction of the devices, as well as their accessibility for configuration via web browser is dependent on whether a DHCP server and a DNS
server are already active in the LAN, and whether these two server processes
exchange the assignment of IP addresses to symbolic names within the LAN
between each other.
After powered on, unconfigured LANCOM devices check first, whether a DHCP
server is already active in the LAN. Dependent on the situation, the device is
able to switch on its own DHCP server or, alternatively, to activate its DHCP
client mode. In this second operating mode, the device itself can obtain an IP
address from a DHCP server already existing in the LAN.
Network without DHCP server
In a network without DHCP server, unconfigured LANCOM devices activate
their own DHCP server service after starting, and assign appropriate IP
addresses and gateway information to the other workstations within the LAN,
provided that the workstations are set to obtain their IP address automatically
(auto-DHCP). In this constellation, the device can be accessed with any web
browser from each PC with activated auto-DHCP function through the name
LANCOM or by its IP address 172.23.56.254.
Chapter 3: Basic configuration
EN
If the configuration PC does not obtain its IP address from the LANCOM DHCP
server, figure out the current IP address of this PC (with Start Execute
cmd and command ipconfig at the prompt under Windows 2000 or Windows
XP, with Start Execute cmd and the command winipcfg at the prompt
under Windows Me and Windows 9x, or with the command ifconfig on the
console under Linux). In this case, the LANCOM is reachable under the IP
33
Page 34
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 3: Basic configuration
address x.x.x.254 ( “x” stands for the first three blocks in the IP address of
the configuration PC).
Network with DHCP server
If a DHCP server is active in the LAN to assign IP addresses, an unconfigured
LANCOM device will turn off its own DHCP server. It will change into DHCP
client mode and will obtain an IP address from the DHCP server of the LAN.
EN
This IP address is not known at first. The accessibility of the device depends
on the name resolution:
If there is a DNS server for name resolution in the LAN, which inter-
changes the assignment of IP addresses to names with the DHCP server,
then the device can be accessed by the name “LANCOM <MAC address>”
(e.g. “LANCOM-00a057xxxxxx”).
The MAC address can be found on a label at the bottom of the device.
34
If there is no DNS server in the LAN, or it is not linked to the DHCP server,
then the device can not be reached by the name. The following options
remain in this case:
Figure out the DHCP-assigned IP address of the LANCOM by suitable
tools and contact the device directly with this IP address.
Use LANconfig.
Connect a PC with a terminal program via the serial configuration
interface to the device.
Starting the wizards in WEBconfig
Start your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator,
Opera) and call the LANCOM router there:
http://<IP address of the LANCOM>
(or with a name as discribed above)
Page 35
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 3: Basic configuration
If you cannot access an unconfigured LANCOM router, the problem
may be due to the netmask of the LAN: with less than 254 possible
hosts (netmask > '255.255.255.0'), please ensure that the IP address
'x.x.x.254' is located in your own subnet.
The WEBconfig main menu will be displayed:

If you would like to configure the TCP/IP settings manually, assign an
available address from a suitable address range to the LANCOM router.
Also set whether or not it is to operate as a DHCP server. Confirm your
entry with Apply.

Chapter 3: Basic configuration
In the following 'Security settings' window, specify a password for config-
uration access. Note that the password is case- sensitive and ensure that
it is sufficiently long (at least 6 characters).
You may specify whether the device may only be configured from the local
network or whether remote configuration via the WAN (i.e. a remote network) is also permissible.
EN
Please note that enabling this will also permit remote configuration
via the Internet. You should always make sure that the configuration
access is suitably protected, e.g. with a password.
Remote configuration via a direct ISDN connection is available independently of the WAN remote configuration: in this case, the configuration PC
establishes a direct dial-up ISDN connection to the LANCOM router, for
example using Windows Dial-Up Networking. ISDN remote configuration
can be enabled by specifying an MSN/terminal device selection digit for
it. In this case, the LANCOM router will accept calls on that MSN/terminal
device selection digit and can be remotely configured via the ISDN connection.
Confirm your selection with Apply.
In the next window, select your DSL provider from the list that is displayed.
Confirm your choice with Apply.
If you select 'My provider is not listed here,' you must enter the transfer
protocol used by your DSL provider manually in the next window. Confirm
your choice with Apply.
Entering the password in the web browser
When you are prompted for a user name and password
by your web browser when accessing the device in the
future, enter your personal values to the corresponding
fields. Please note that the password is case-sensitive.
If you are using the common configuration account,
enter the corresponding password only. Leave the user
name field blank.

to a predetermined amount if desired. Confirm your choice with Apply.
If your devices does not feature an ISDN port, you may now close the
setup wizard. Otherwise the wizard will prompt you to configure the ISDN
port now. Make your choice and confirm it with Apply.
Enter the ISDN subscriber numbers (as MSNs, i.e. without area code) on
which the router will accept calls. Multiple numbers are separated by
semicolons. If you do not specify any MSNs, the router will answer all
incoming calls on the ISDN connection.
In addition, you can enter a trunk code for dialling into ISDN. Finally, you
should specify whether or not the tariff information is to be transmitted at
your ISDN connection. Confirm your entries with Apply.
The basic setup wizard reports that all the necessary information has been
provided. You can end the wizard with Go on.
3.4 TCP/IP settings to workstation PCs
The correct addressing of all devices within a LAN is extremely important for
TCP/IP networks. In addition, all computers must know the IP addresses of two
central points in the LAN:
Default gateway – receives all packets that are not addressed to comput-
ers within the local network.
DNS server – translates network names (www.lancom.de) or names of
computers (www.lancom.de) to actual IP addresses.
The LANCOM router can perform the functions of both a default gateway and
a DNS server. In addition, as a DHCP server it can also automatically assign
valid IP addresses to all of the computers in the LAN.
The correct TCP/IP configuration of the PCs in the LAN depends on the method
used to assign IP addresses within the LAN:
IP address assignment via the LANCOM router (default)
In this operating mode the LANCOM router not only assigns IP addresses
to the PCs in the LAN, it also uses DHCP to specify its own IP address as
that of the default gateway and DNS server. The PCs must therefore be
configured so that they automatically obtain their own IP address and the
IP addresses of the standard gateway and DNS server (via DHCP).
EN
37
Page 38
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 3: Basic configuration
IP address assignment via a separate DHCP server
The workstation PCs must be configured so that they automatically obtain
their own IP address and the IP addresses of the standard gateway and
DNS server (via DHCP). The IP address of the LANCOM router must be
stored on the DHCP server so that the DHCP server transmits it to the PCs
in the LAN as the standard gateway. In addition, the DHCP server should
also specify the LANCOM router as a DNS server.
EN
Manual IP address assignment
If the IP addresses in the network are assigned static ally, then for each PC
the IP address of the LANCOM router must be set in the TCP/IP configuration as the standard gateway and as a DNS server.
For further information and help on the TCP/IP settings of your
LANCOM router, please see the reference manual. For more information on the network configuration of the workstation computers,
please refer to the documentation of your operating system.

Chapter 4: Setting up Internet access
4 Setting up Internet access
All computers in the LAN can take advantage of the central Internet access of
the LANCOM router. The connection to the Internet provider can be established via any WAN connection. Internet access via ISDN can be used as a
backup connection for DSL, for example.

Does the setup wizard know your Internet provider?
A convenient wizard is available to help you set up Internet access. The wizard
knows the access information of major Internet providers and will offer you a
list of providers to choose from. If you find your Internet service provider on
this list, you normally will not have to enter any further transfer parameters to
configure your Internet access. Only the authentication data that are supplied
by your provider are required.
Additional information for unknown Internet providers
If the setup wizard does not know your Internet provider, it will prompt you
for all of the required information step by step. Your provider will supply this
information.

Protocol: PPPoE, PPTP or Plain Ethernet (IPoE)
Additionally for Plain Ethernet: own public IP address with netmask

Additional connection options
You may also enable or disable further options in the wizard, depending on
whether or not they are supported by your Internet provider:
Time-based billing or flat rate – select the accounting model used by your
EN
Internet provider.
When using time-based billing, you can set the LANCOM router to
automatically close existing connections if no data has been transferred within a specified time (the so-called idle time).
In addition, you can activate a line monitor that identifies inactive
remote stations faster and therefore can close the connection before
the idle time has elapsed.
Active line monitoring can also be used with flat rate billing to con-
tinuously check the function of the remote station.
You also have the option of keeping flat rate connections alive if
required. Dropped connections are then automatically re-established.
Dynamic channel bundling (ISDN only)
if required, the second ISDN B-channel will automatically be bundled
to the connection. This doubles the available bandwidth; it may also
double your connect charges as well, however. What's more, your
ISDN connection will be busy in this case, with all other incoming and
outgoing calls being rejected.
Data compression (ISDN only)
this permits an additional increase in data throughput.

Chapter 5: Linking two networks
5 Linking two networks
With the network interconnection (also known as LAN to LAN coupling) of the
LANCOM router, two local networks are linked. The LAN to LAN coupling can
be realized in principle in two different ways:
VPN: For coupling via VPN, the connection between both LANs is estab-
lished over a specially secured connection through the public Internet. A
EN
router with VPN support is required in both LANs.
ISDN: For coupling via ISDN, a direct connection between both LANs is
established over an ISDN connection. A router with ISDN interface is
required in both LANs.
Always configure both sides
Both routers involved in the network interconnection must be configured.
Care must be taken to ensure that the configuration information provided
matches.
The following instructions will assume that LANCOM router routers
are being used on both sides. A network interconnection may also be
realized with routers from other manufacturers. A mixed setup usually
requires more extensive configuration measures for both devices,
however. Please refer to the reference manual for more information in
this regard.
42
A setup wizard handles the configuration of the connection in the usual convenient manner.
Security aspects
You must, of course, protect your LAN against unauthorized access. A
LANCOM router therefore offers a whole range of security mechanisms that
can provide an outstanding level of protection:
VPN: Network couplings via VPN transmit data by IPSec. The data are
encrypted by AES, 3-DES, Blowfish or CAST encryption algorithms.
ISDN: For network couplings via ISDN, the connection password, the
checking of the ISDN number and the callback function ensure the security of the connection.
Page 43
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
The ISDN call back function cannot be configured using the wizard. It
can only be set up in the expert configuration. For details, please see
the reference manual.
5.1 What information is necessary?
The wizard will prompt you for the necessary information on a step-by-step
basis. If possible, however, you should have it available before launching the
wizard.
To explain the significance of the information requested by the wizard, we will
be using a typical deployment as an example: setting up a link between a
branch office and its headquarters. The routers involved are named
'HEAD_OFFICE' and 'BRANCH'.
Please refer to the following tables for the entries to be made for each of the
routers. Arrows mark the dependencies between the entries.

Thanks to Dynamic VPN, connections can be enabled not only
between gateways with fixed, static IP addresses, but even between gateways with dynamic IP addresses. The active initiation of VPN connections towards remote sites with dynamic IP addresses requires ISDN.
If you haven't already named your LANCOM router, the wizard will ask you
for a new, unique device name. With this entry, you will rename your
LANCOM router. Be sure to give the two devices different names.
The name of the remote station is needed for its identification.
Enter the subscriber number of the remote station in the ISDN subscriber
number field. The complete subscriber number including all necessary
area and country codes is required.
The stated ISDN caller ID is used to identify and authenticate callers.
When a LANCOM router receives a call, it compares the ISDN caller ID
entered for the remote station with the actual caller ID transferred via the
D channel. An ISDN caller ID generally consists of an area code and an
MSN.
44
Page 45
The password for the ISDN connection is an alternative to the use of
the ISDN caller ID. It is always used to authenticate callers that do not
send an ISDN caller ID. T he exact sam e password must be entere d on bot h
sides. It is used for calls in both directions.
The Shared Secret is the central password for security within the VPN.
The exact same password has to be entered on both sides
Data compression increases the transfer speed of the connection at no
additional cost. This is completely unlike the bundling of two ISDN- channels with MLPPP (Multi Link PPP): The transfer rate will be doubled but
there will also be additional telephone costs for two connections.
5.1.2 Settings for the TCP/IP router
In TCP/IP networks, addressing has a special significance. Please note that
two interconnected networks are logically separate from one another. Each
must therefore have its own network number (in our example, '10.0.1.x' and
'10.0.2.x'). These network numbers may not be identical.

Unlike when accessing the Internet, all of the IP addresses in the involved networks are visible on the remote side when coupling networks, not just those
of the router. The computer with the IP address 10.0.2.10 in the branch office
LAN sees the server 10.0.1.2 in the headquarters and can access it (assuming
it has the appropriate rights), and vice versa.

Chapter 5: Linking two networks
DNS access to the remote LAN
Thanks to DNS, it is not only possible to access remote computers in a TCP/IP
network via their IP address, but also by using freely defined names.
For example, the computer with the name 'pc1.branch.company' (IP
10.0.2.10) will not only be able to access the server of the head office via its
IP address, but also via its name, 'server.head.company'. The only precondition: the domain of the remote network in the wizard must be specified.
EN
The domain can only be specified in the LANconfig wizard. In
WEBconfig, enter the appropriate information later in the expert configuration. For more information, see the LANCOM router reference
manual.
Extranet VPN
Finally, one can decide whether access to local stations is permitted. In this
'Extranet VPN' operating mode, the IP stations do not expose their IP address
to the remote LAN, rather they will be hidden behind the VPN gateway's IP
address instead.
Therefore, the stations within the remote LAN cannot access IP stations in the
other LAN directly. For example, if a headquarters. LAN in 'Extranet VPN'
mode is hidden behind its gateway's address '10.10.2.100', and on of its IP
stations (e.g. '10.10.2.13') accesses the IP station '10.10.1.2' of the branch
office, then the branch office.s IP stations deems to be a accessed by
'10.10.2.100'. The true IP address of the accessor ('10.10.2.13') is hidden.
If two LANs shall be coupled in Extranet mode, please ensure to enter the
'outbound' Extranet IP address of the remote site, not its Intranet address.
According to the example, this was '10.10.2.100'. The appropriate netmask
for the Extranet IP address would be '255.255.255.255' then.

5.1.3 Settings for the IPX router
The coupling of IPX networks via VPN cannot be configured using the
wizard. It can only be set up in the expert configuration. For details,
please see the reference manual.
Coupling two typical IPX networks to form a WAN requires three IPX network
numbers:

entire LAN segment. On the other hand, internal IPX numbers are used to
address specific Novell servers in the LAN. All three specified network numbers must be distinct from one another and from all used internal IPX network
numbers.
In addition, it may be necessary to enter the frame type (“binding”).
Specifying the IPX network number and binding used is not necessary if the
remote network also contains a Novell server. It is only necessary to enter the
network number for the WAN manually in this case.
5.1.4 Settings for NetBIOS routing
NetBIOS routing can be set up quickly: All that is required in addition to the
information for the TCP/IP protocol used is the name of a Windows workgroup

Chapter 6: Providing dial- up access
6 Providing dial-up access
Your LANCOM router supports dial-up connections to permit individual computers full access to your network. This service is also known as RAS (Remote
Access Service). In principle, the RAS access can be realized in two different
ways:
VPN: For a RAS access via VPN, the connection between the LAN and the
EN
dial-in PC is established over a specially secured connection through the
public Internet. The router in the LAN requires VPN support, the dial-in PC
an access to the Internet and the LANCOM VPN Client.
ISDN: For a RAS access via ISDN, a direct connection between the LAN
and the dial-in PC is established over an ISDN dial-up connection. The
router in the LAN requires an ISDN interface, the dial-up PC an ISDN
adapter or an ISDN modem. The data transfer protocol is PPP. Therefore,
the support of all usual devices and operating systems is ensured.
A setup wizard handles the configuration of the dial-up connection in the
usual convenient manner.
Security aspects
You must, of course, protect your LAN against unauthorized access. An
LANCOM router therefore offers a whole range of security mechanisms that
can provide an outstanding level of protection:
VPN: Network couplings via VPN transmit data by IPSec. The data are
encrypted by AES, 3-DES, Blowfish or CAST encryption algorithms.
ISDN: For network couplings via ISDN, the connection password, the
checking of the ISDN number and the callback function ensure the security of the connection.
50
The ISDN call back function cannot be configured using the wizard. It
can only be set up in the expert configuration. For details, please see
the reference manual.
6.1 Which information is required?
The wizard will set up dial-up access for only one user. Please run the wizard
again for each additional user.
Page 51
6.1.1 General information
The following entries are required to set up a RAS connection. The first column

Chapter 6: Providing dial- up access
EN
Notes to the individual values:
User name and password: Users authenticate themselves with this
information when dialling in.
Incoming number: The LANCOM router uses the optional ISDN caller ID
as an additional user authentication. This security function should not be
used when users dial in from differing locations.
Please refer to chapter ’Linking two networks’ →page 42 for advice
about the other values required for the installation of a RAS access.
The ISDN calling line identity (CLI)
The ISDN caller ID—also known as CLI (Calling Line Identity)—this is the telephone number
of the caller which is transmitted to the participant receiving the call. As a rule, it consists of
the country and area codes and an MSN.
The CLI is well-suited for authentication purposes for two reasons: it is very difficult to manipulate, and the number is transferred free of charge via the ISDN control channel (D-channel).

IP: 10.0.1.0
EN
(0123) 123456
This IP address can be permanently assigned when setting up a user. However,
it is simpler to let the LANCOM router automatically assign free IP addresses
to users when they dial in. In this case you only need to specify the IP address
range that the LANCOM router should use for RAS users.
During both manual and automatic IP address assignment, please ensure that
only free addresses from the address range of your local network are used. In
our example, the IP address '10.0.1.101' will be assigned to the PC when connecting.
This IP address makes the computer a fully-fledged member of the LAN: with
the appropriate rights, it can access all of the other devices in the LAN. The
same applies in the other direction as well: computers in the LAN will also be
able to access the remote machine.

Chapter 7: Sending faxes with LANCAPI
7 Sending faxes with LANCAPI
LANCAPI from LANCOM Systems is a special version of the popular CAPI interface. CAPI (Common ISDN Application Programming Interface) establishes the
connection between ISDN adapters and communications programs. For their
part, these programs provide the computers with office communications functions such as a fax machine or answering machine.
The main advantages of using LANCAPI are economic. LANCAPI provides all
Windows workstations integrated in the LAN (local-area network) with unlimited access to office communications functions such as fax machines, answering machines, online banking and eurofile transfer. All functions are supplied
via the network without the necessity of additional hardware at each individual workstation, thus eliminating the costs of equipping the workstations with
ISDN adapters or modems. All you need do is install the office communications software on the individual workstations.

With LANCAPI by LANCOM it is possible to send faxes comfortably from your
workstation PC, without having connected a fax device. To do so, you need to
install several components:
the LANCAPI client. It provides the connection between your worksta-
tion PC and the LANCAPI server.
the CAPI fax modem. This tool simulates a fax device on your worksta-
tion PC.
the MS Windows fax service. This is the interface between the fax appli-
cations and the virtual fax.

Chapter 8: Security settings
8 Security settings
Your LANCOM router has numerous security functions. You find in this chapter
all information you need for an optimal protection.
8.1 The security settings wizard
Access to the configuration of a device permits not only to read out critical
EN
information such as WEP key or Internet password. Rather, also the entire settings of the security functions (e.g. firewall) can be altered then. So an unauthorized configuration access endangers not only a single device, but the
entire network.
Your LANCOM router has a password protection for the configuration access.
This protection is already activated during the basic configuration by entering
a password.
The device locks access to its configuration for a specified period of time after
a certain number of failed log-in attempts. Both the number of failed attempts
and the duration of the lock can be set as needed. By default, access is locked
for a period of five minutes after the fifth failed log-in attempt.
62
8.1.1 Wizard for LANconfig
Mark your LANCOM router in the selection window. Select from the com-
mand bar Extras Setup Wizard.
Select in the selection menu the setup wizard Control Security Settings
and confirm your choice with Next.
Enter your password in the following windows and select the allowed pro-
tocols for the configuration access from local and remote networks. Additionally, enter the MSN for remote configuration via ISDN.
Page 63

Chapter 8: Security settings
In a next step parameters of the configuration lock like number of failed
log-in attempts and the duration of the lock can be adjusted.
Now activate Stateful Inspection, ping-blocking and Stealth mode in the
the firewall configuration.
The wizard will inform you when entries are complete. Complete the con-
figuration with Finish.
8.1.2 Wizard for WEBconfig
Under WEBconfig you have the possibility to run the wizard Security settings
to control and change the settings. The following values are handled:
password for the device
allowed protocols for the configuration access of local and remote net-
works
the MSN for remote configuration via ISDN
parameters of configuration lock (number of failed log-in attempts and
duration of the lock)
8.2 The firewall wizard
The LANCOM router incorporates an effective protection of your LAN and
WLAN when accessing the Internet by its Stateful Inspection firewall and its
firewall filters. Basic idea of the Stateful Inspection firewall is that only selfinitiated data transfer is considered allowable. All unasked accesses, which
were not initiated from the local network, are inadmissible.
The firewall wizard assists you to create new firewall rules quickly and comfortably.
Please find further information about the firewall of your LANCOM router and
about its configuration in the reference manual.

8.3 The security checklist
The following checklist provides a comprehensive overview of all security settings for professionals. Most of the points on this checklist are no subject of
concern in simple configurations, since these generally adequate security settings are already implemented during basic configuration and by the security
wizard.
Detailed information on the security settings listed here can be found
in the reference manual.
Page 65
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 8: Security settings
Have you assigned a password for the configuration?
The simplest option for the protection of the configuration is the establishment of a password. As long as a password hasn't been set, anyone
can change the configuration of the device. The field for entering the
password is contained in LANconfig in the 'Management' configuration
area on the 'Security' tab. It is particularly required to assign a password
to the configuration if you want to allow remote configuration.
Have you permitted remote configuration?
If you do not require remote configuration, then deactivate it. If you
require remote configuration, then be sure to assign a password protection for the configuration (see previous section). The field for deactivating
the remote configuration is also contained in LANconfig in the 'Management' configuration area on the 'Security' tab. Select here under 'Access
rights - of remote networks' for all types of configuration the option 'not
allowed'.
Have you provided the SNMP configuration with a password?
Also protect the SNMP configuration with a password. The field for protection of the SNMP configuration with a password is also contained in
LANconfig in the 'Management' configuration area on the 'Security' tab.
Have you activated the Firewall?
The Stateful Inspection Firewall of the LANCOM ensures that your local
network cannot be attacked from the outside . The Firewall can be enabled in LANconfig under ’Firewall/QoS’ on the register card ’General’.
Do you make use of a ’Deny All’ Firewall strategy?
For maximum security and control you prevent at first any data transfer
through the Firewall. Only those connections, which are explicitly desired
have to allowed by the a dedicated Firewall rule then. Thus ’Trojans’ and
certain Email viruses loose their communication way back. The Firewall
rules are summarized in LANconfig under ’Firewall/Qos’ on the register
card ’Rules’.
Have you activated the IP masquerading?
IP masquerading is the hiding place for all local computers for connection
to the Internet. Only the router module of the unit and its IP address are
visible on the Internet. The IP address can be fixed or assigned dynamically by the provider. The computers in the LAN then use the router as a
gateway so that they themselves cannot be detected. The router separates
Internet and intranet, as if by a wall. The use of IP masquerading is set
EN
65
Page 66
LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 8: Security settings
individually for each route in the routing table. The routing table can be
found in the LANconfig in the 'IP router' configuration section on the
'Routing' tab.
Have you excluded certain stations from access to the router?
Access to the internal functions of the devices can be restricted using a
special filter list. Internal functions in this case are configuration sessions
via LANconfig, WEBconfig, Telnet or TFTP. This table is empty by default
EN
and so access to the router can therefore be obtained by TCP/IP using Telnet or TFTP from computers with any IP address. The filter is activated
when the first IP address with its associated network mask is entered and
from that point on only those IP addresses contained in this initial entry
will be permitted to use the internal functions. The circle of authorized
users can be expanded by inputting further entries. The filter entries can
describe both individual computers and whole networks. The access list
can be found in LANconfig in the 'TCP/IP' configuration section on the
'General' tab.
Have you closed critical ports with filters?
The firewall filters of the LANCOM router devices offer filter functions for
individual computers or entire networks. Source and target filters can be
set for individual ports or for ranges of ports. In addition, individual protocols or any combinations of protocols (TCP/UDP/ICMP) can be filtered.
It is particularly easy to set up the filters with LANconfig. The 'Rules' tab
under 'Firewall/QoS' can assist you to define and change the filter rules.
Is your saved LANCOM router configuration stored in a safe place?
Protect the saved configurations against unauthorized access in a safe
place. A saved configuration could otherwise be loaded in another device
by an unauthorized person, enabling, for example, the use of your Internet connections at your expense.

9Troubleshooting
In this chapter, you will find suggestions and assistance for a few common difficulties.
9.1 No WAN connection is established
After start-up the router automatically attempts to connect to the access provider. During this process, the Online LED will blink green. If successful, the
LED will switch over to steady green. If, however, the connection can't be
established, the Online LED will light up red. The reason for this is usually one
of the following:
Problems with the cabling?
Only the cable provided with your device should be used to connect to the
WAN. This cable must be connected to the Ethernet port of your broadband
access device. The WAN link LED must light green indicating the physical connection.
Has the correct transfer protocol been selected?
The transfer protocol is set along with the basic settings. The basic setup wizard will enter the correct settings for numerous DSL providers automatically.
Only if your DSL provider is not listed, you will have to enter manually the protocol being used. In any case, the protocol that your DSL provider supplies you
with should definitely work.
You can monitor and correct the protocol settings under:

9.2 DSL data transfer is slow
The data transfer rate of an broadband (Internet) DSL connection is dependent
upon numerous factors, most of which are outside of one's own sphere of
influence. Important factors aside from the bandwidth of one's own Internet
connection are the Internet connection and current load of the desired target.

LANCOM 7111 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 9: Troubleshooting
Numerous other factors involving the Internet itself can also influence the
transfer rate.
Increasing the TCP/IP window size under Windows
If the actual transfer rate of a DSL connection is significantly below the fastest
rate listed by the provider, there are only a few possible causes (apart from the
above-mentioned external factors) which may involve one's own equipment.
EN
One common problem occurs when large amounts of data are sent and
received simultaneously with a Windows PC using an asynchronous connection. This can cause a severe decrease in download speed. The cause of this
problem is what is known as the TCP/IP receive window size of the Windows
operating system that is set to a value too small for asynchronous connections.
Instructions on how to increase the Windows size can be found in the Knowledge Base of the support section of the LANCOM web site (www.lancom.de
9.3 Unwanted connections under Windows XP
Windows XP computers attempt to compare their clocks with a timeserver on
the Internet at start-up. This is why when a Windows XP in the WLAN is
started, a connection to the Internet is established by the LANCOM.
To resolve this issue, you can turn off the automatic time synchronization on
the Windows XP computers under Right mouse click on the time of day
Properties Internet time.
).

9.4 Cable testing
A cabling defect might have occurred, if no data is transmitted over LAN or
WAN connection, although the configuration of the devices does not show
any discernible errors.
You can test the cabling with the built-in cable tester of your LANCOM.
Change under WEBconfig to menu item Expert configuration Status
LAN statistics Cable test. Enter here the name of the interface to be

tested (e.g. “DSL1” or “LAN-1”). Pay attention to the correct spelling of the
interfaces. Start the test for the specified interface by clicking on Execute.
Change then to menu item Expert configuration Status LAN statis-
tics Cable test results. The results of the cable test for the individual
interfaces are show up in a list.
EN
The following results can occur:
OK: Cable plugged in correctly, line ok.
open with distance “0m”: No cable plugged in or interruption within less
than 10 meters distance.
open with indication of distance: Cable is plugged in, but defect (short-
circuited) at the indicated distance.
Impedance error: The pair of cables is not terminated with the correct
impedance at the other end.
