ADSL2+ Gateway with VoIP

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the AG310 ADSL2+ Gateway with VoIP. This Gateway will provide your computers with a high-speed Internet connection as well as access to local resources, including files and printers.

How does the Gateway do all of this? By connecting the Internet, as well as your computers and peripherals, to the Gateway, you create a LAN, or Local Area Network. The Gateway lets devices on the network communicate with each other, and it can direct and control communications for your network.

To protect your data and privacy, the Gateway features an advanced firewall to keep out Internet intruders. Sensitive communications can be protected by powerful data encryption. In addition, you can safeguard your family with parental control features such as Internet access restrictions and keyword blocking. You can configure the Gateway’s settings through the easy-to-use, browser-based utility.

But what does all of this mean? Networks are useful tools for sharing Internet access and computer resources. You can access one printer from

different computers and access data located on another computer’s hard drive. Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video games. So, networks not only are useful in homes and offices, but also can be fun.

With your PCs and peripherals all connected to each other and to the Internet, you can now share files and Internet access—and even play games. All the while, the ADSL Gateway protects your network from unauthorized and unwelcome users.

lan (local area network): The computers and networking products that make up the network in your home or office.

network: a series of computers or devices connected for the purpose of data sharing, storage, and/or transmission between users

ADSL2+ Gateway with VoIP

Chapter 2: Planning Your Network

The Gateway’s Functions

A Gateway is a network device that connects two networks together. In this instance, the Gateway connects your Local Area Network (LAN), or the group of computers in your home or

office, to the Internet. The Gateway processes and regulates the data that travels between these two networks. The Gateway’s NAT feature protects your network of computers so users on the public, Internet side cannot “see”

your computers. This is how your network remains private. The Gateway protects your network by inspecting every packet coming in through the Internet port before delivery to the appropriate computer on your network. The Gateway inspects Internet port services like the web server, ftp server, or other Internet applications, and, if allowed, it will forward the packet to the appropriate computer on the LAN side.

Remember that the Gateway’s ports connect to two sides. The LAN ports connect to the LAN, and the ADSL port connects to the Internet. The LAN ports transmit data at 10/100Mbps.

IP Addresses

What’s an IP Address?

IP stands for Internet Protocol. Every device on an IP-based network, including computers, print servers, and Gateways, requires an IP address to identify its “location,” or address, on the network. This applies to both the Internet and LAN connections. There are two ways of assigning an IP address to your network devices. You can assign static IP addresses or use the Gateway to assign IP addresses dynamically.

Static IP Addresses

A static IP address is a fixed IP address that you assign manually to a computer or other device on the network. Since a static IP address remains valid until you disable it, static IP addressing ensures that the device assigned it will always have that same IP address until you change it. Static IP addresses must be unique and are commonly used with network devices such as server computers or print servers.

Chapter 2: Planning Your Network The Gateway’s Functions

Figure 2-1: Network

ip (internet protocol): a protocol used to send data over a network

NOTE: Since the Gateway is a device that connects two networks, it needs two IP addresses—one for the LAN, and one for the Internet. In this User Guide, you’ll see references to the “Internet IP address” and the “LAN IP address.”

Since the Gateway uses NAT technology, the only IP address that can be seen from the Internet for your network is the Gateway’s Internet IP address. However, even this Internet IP address can be blocked, so that the Gateway and network seem invisible to the Internet—see the Block WAN Requests description under Security in “Chapter 6: Configuring the ADSL2+ Gateway.”

ADSL2+ Gateway with VoIP

Since you use the Gateway to share your DSL Internet connection, contact your ISP to find out if they have assigned a static IP address to your account. If so, you will need that static IP address when configuring the Gateway. You can get that information from your ISP.

Dynamic IP Addresses

A dynamic IP address is automatically assigned to a device on the network, such as computers and print servers. These IP addresses are called “dynamic” because they are only temporarily assigned to the computer or device. After a certain time period, they expire and may change. If a computer logs onto the network (or the Internet) and its dynamic IP address has expired, the DHCP server will automatically assign it a new dynamic IP address.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Servers

Computers and other network devices using dynamic IP addressing are assigned a new IP address by a DHCP server. The computer or network device obtaining an IP address is called the DHCP client. DHCP frees you from having to assign IP addresses manually every time a new user is added to your network.

A DHCP server can either be a designated computer on the network or another network device, such as the Gateway. By default, the Gateway’s DHCP Server function is enabled.

If you already have a DHCP server running on your network, you must disable one of the two DHCP servers. If you run more than one DHCP server on your network, you will experience network errors, such as conflicting IP addresses. To disable DHCP on the Gateway, see the DHCP section in “Chapter 6: Configuring the ADSL2+ Gateway.”

Chapter 4: Connecting the ADSL2+ Gateway with VoIP

Overview

The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information for the modem with you after installing your broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request that data.

After you have the setup information you need for your specific type of Internet connection, you can begin installation and setup of the Gateway. Continue to “Connecting the Gateway to a Computer.”

Connecting the Gateway to a Computer

1. Make sure that all of your network’s hardware is powered off, including the Gateway and all computers.

2. Connect a phone cable from the DSL port on the Gateway’s back panel to the wall jack of the ADSL line. A small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each phone and wall jack to prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.

3. Connect another phone cable from the Line port on the Gateway’s back panel to the Voice connection on the DSL microfilter or wall jack.

NOTE: and wall jack to prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.

IMPORTANT: For countries that have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors, make sure to only place the microfilters between the phone and the wall jack and not between the Gateway and the wall jack or your ADSL will not connect.

For countries that do not have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors (e.g. France, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, etc.), except for ISDN users, the microfilter has to be used between the Gateway and the wall jack, because the microfilter will have the RJ-11 connector.

Annex B users (E1 and DE versions of the Gateway) must use the included special cable to connect the Gateway to the wall jack (RJ-45 to RJ-12). If you require splitters or special jacks, please contact your service provider.
