Wireless-G ADSL Gateway with SRX200

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G ADSL Gateway with SRX200. This Gateway will provide your computers
with a high-speed Internet connection as well as 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 , then the Gateway can direct and control communications for your network. Plus, since the Gateway
is wireless, Internet access can be shared over the wireless broadcast as well as the wired network.

The Wireless-G ADSL Gateway with SRX200 combines smart antenna technology with standards-based,
Wireless-G (802.11g) networking. By overlaying the signals of two Wireless-G compatible radios, the “Multiple In,
Multiple Out” (MIMO) technology effectively doubles the data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking
technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range
and reduce “dead spots” in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless
connections up to two times farther than standard Wireless-G. And the farther away you are, the more advantage
you get—the higher data rate and reflection-friendly technology can yield up to six times more throughput than
Wireless-G in some situations. The Gateway avoids interference by dynamically switching to the clearest channel
available. Even your standard Wireless-G and -B equipment will work better when communicating with SRX­enabled devices.

802.11b: an IEEE wireless networking standard
that specifies a maximum data transfer rate of
11Mbps and an operating frequency of 2.4GHz.

802.11g: an IEEE wireless networking standard
that specifies a maximum data transfer rate of
54Mbps, an operating frequency of 2.4GHz, and
backward compatibility with 802.11b devices.

wpa (wi-fi protected access): a wireless security
protocol using TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
encryption, which can be used in conjunction with a
RADIUS server.

T o protect your data and privacy, WP A encryption provides greater wireless security opportunities while the whole
network is protected through a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall and NAT technology. In addition, you can
safeguard your family with parental control features such as Internet access restrictions and keyword blocking.
These security features, as well as the Gateway’s other settings, are accessed 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.

PCs on a wired network create a LAN, or Local Area Network. They are connected with Ethernet cables, which is
why the network is called “wired”. PCs equipped with wireless cards or adapters can communicate without
cumbersome cables. By sharing the same wireless settings, within their transmission radius, they form a
wireless network. This is sometimes called a WLAN, or Wireless Local Area Network. Since the Gateway has
wireless capabilities, it can bridge your wired and wireless networks, letting them communicate with each other.

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 Security - Firewall
tab in “Chapter 6: Configuring the Wireless-G ADSL
Gateway with SRX200.”

4

Wireless-G ADSL Gateway with SRX200

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 Wireless-G
ADSL Gateway with SRX200.”
