The range of frequencies used by a direct sequence device is called Channel. The 802.11g and 802.11b specification supports up to 14 overlapping Channels for radio communication. But only 11 Channels are supported in the United States and therefore built-in on MT4205. To minimize interference, configure each of MT4205 to use Non-overlapping channels. Non-overlapping channels have 25 MHz separation beginning at the first allowed channel for the country (for the US and most of Europe, channel 1, 6 & 11 are used.) Make sure that MT4205 sharing the same Channel (or Channels close in number) is as far away from each other as possible, based on the results of your site survey of the facility. You can find the site survey utility in MT4205’s setup CD. By default, the channel is 6.

6. Hide SSID

This term is used to increase the security level. Check it to hide SSID information against the wireless clients that are sniffing radio. By default, this option is inactive.

7. TxPreamble

The default TxPreamble setting is Long (if you use high traffic networks should use the shorter preamble type)

8. Beacon Interval

Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a beacon interval value. Default (100) is recommended.

9. RTS Threshold

This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications to the value range between 256 and 2346 are recommended

10. Authentication Mode

Four authentication methods are supported: Open and Shared. Select Open, your wireless network would be intruded by anonymous. Not only your network bandwidth would be shared; but also transmitting data might be intercepted. Select Shared function and it can be taken effect.

11. Encrypt Type - WEP

There are two types of encrypt type can be selected, including WEP and WPA. WEP Encryption: Enabling WEP can protect your data from eavesdroppers. If you do not need this feature, select ―None‖ to skip the following setting. MT4205 supports both 64-bit and 128-bit encryption using the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm. Select the type of encryption you want to use (64 or 128 bit) and configure one to four

55 Version 1.0

WEP Keys. The ―1280bit‖ method is more secure than the ―64-bit‖.

Key Type: For 64bits WEP key, either 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digitals leading by 0x can be entered. For 128bits WEP key, either 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits leading by 0x can be entered.

Note: 128 bits WEP is most secure, but has more encryption/decryption overhead. Note that all wireless

devices must support the same WEP encryption bit size and have the same key. Four keys can be entered here, but only one key can be selected at a time. The keys can be entered in ASCII or Hexadecimal. Select the item from drop-down list you wish to use.

Pass phrase: Automatically generate four WEP keys. A WEP key is either 10 or 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64 bit or 128 bit in the WEP drop-down menu. Type a combination of up to 64 letters, numbers, or symbols in the blank, MT4205 uses an algorithm to generate four WEP keys for encryption. If you want to type in the keys manually, leave this field blank.

Note: This function eases users from having to remember their passwords. But this isn’t as secure as

manual assignment.

WEP Key: At most four keys can be set. A WEP key is either 10 or 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64 bit or 128 bit in the WEP drop-down list. MT4205 must have at least the same default key.

12. Encrypt Type - WPA

The WPA encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using the pre-shared key (PSK) which entered from this panel or a key got dynamically through 802.1x. WPA-PSK (TKSP): Allow the access from WPA clients simultaneously and the encryption keys are given from PSK respectively.

WPA Rekey Timer: Allows for the session keys to be refreshed over time, minimizing the amount of data that is encrypted with the same session key. ASKII: The 8~63 ASCII characters can be entered, for example, ―0123456789ABCD….‖

56 Version 1.0

Radius with 802.x: Check this circle to enable Radius client function.

WPA Rekey Timer: Allows for the session keys to be refreshed over time,

minimizing the amount of data that is encrypted with the same session key.

RADIUS Server IP: The IP address of RADIUS server. RADIUS Server Port: The UDP port number that the RADIUS server is listed.

The default value is 1812. Shared Secret: The RADIUS server and client share a secret that is used to authenticate the messages sent between them. You must configure both sides to sue the same shared secret.

58 Version 1.0

3.4.1 NAT

NAT is a method of mapping one or more IP addresses and/or services ports into different specified services, where NAT stands for Network Address Translation. It allows the internal IP addresses of many computers on a Local Area Network (LAN) to be translated to one

public address, saving users’ cost. It also plays a security role by obscuring the true IP

addresses of important machines from potential hackers on the Internet. For convenience, we called a router having the NAT facility as a NAT-enabled router.

3.4.1.1 Virtual Server

To offer services, like WWW, FTP, provided by a server in your local network accessible for outside users, you should specify a local IP address to the server. Then, add the IP address and network protocol type, port number, and name of the service in the following list. Based on the list, the gateway will forward service request from outside users to the corresponding local server.

60 Version 1.0

3.4.2 Firewall

The Firewall function helps to protect your local network against attacks from outside. It also provides a way of restricting users on the local network from accessing the Internet. Additionally, it can filter out specific packets to trigger the router to place an outgoing connection.

3.4.2.1 Firewall Configuration

MT4205 provides built-in firewall functions, enabling you to protect the system against denial of service (DoS) attacks and other types of malicious accesses to your LAN while providing Internet access sharing at the same time. You can also specify how to monitor attempted attacks, and who should be automatically notified.

61 Version 1.0

1. Firewall Protection Level: Select the level from the drop-down list, including High,

Medium and Low. The below screen including SPI service and ICMP setting will change according to your level setup.

2. Enable SPI Service: MT4205 often monitor a wider range of activity, such as patterns

of traffic and the type of application sending traffic. With SPI, the router looks at individual packets for patterns similar to known hacker techniques, such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, Ping of Death (illegal ping packet sizes or excessive ICMP messages), SYN Flood, LAND Attack, and IP Spoofing. Enable it if you need.

3. Blocking ICMP Ping from WAN side: The purpose of ICMP is to provide feedback

regarding the network and datagram, it is not to make IP a reliable transport mechanism. ICMP messages use a basic IP datagram header with the IP data being the ICMP message. The IP source address is that of the host or gateway sending the ICMP message with the destination IP address being that of the original source IP address. You can enable ICMP Ping from WAN side or not.

4. DoS Attacks Blocking Settings

Enable DoS Attacks Blocking: The following sections will explain in more detail

about DoS Defense setup by using the web configuration. There are a total 8 kinds of defense function for the DoS Defense Setup. By default, the DoS Defense functionality is disabled. Further, once the DoS Defense functionality is enabled, the default values for the threshold and timeout values existing in some functions are set to 300 packets per second and 10 seconds, respectively. A brief description for each item in the DoS defense function is shown below. SYN Flooding: Check or uncheck this option to enable or disable protection against SYN Flood attacks. This attack involves sending connection requests to a server, but never fully completing the connections. This will cause some computers to get into a

―suck state‖ where they cannot accept connections from legitimate users. (―SYN‖ is

short for SYNchronize‖; this is the first step in opening an Internet connection). You

can select this box if you wish to protect the network from TCP SYN flooding. WinNuke: Check or un-check this option to enable or disable protection against WinNuke attacks. Some older versions of the Microsoft Windows OS are vulnerable to this attack. If the computers in the LAN are not updated with recent versions/patches, you are advised to enable this protection by checking this check box. MIME Flood: Check or un-check this option to enable or disable protection against MIME attacks. You can select this box to protect the mail server in your network against MIME flooding. FTP Bounce: Check or un-check this option to enable or disable protection against FTP bounce attack. In its simplest terms, the attack is based on the misuse of the PORT command in the FTP protocol. An attacker can establish a connection between

62 Version 1.0

the FTP server machine and an arbitrary port on another system. This connection may be used to bypass access controls that would otherwise apply. IP Unaligned Time-Stamp: Check or un-check this option to enable or disable protection against unaligned IP time stamp attack. Certain operating systems will crash if they receive a frame with the IP timestamp option that isn’t aligned on a 32-bit boundary. Sequence Number Prediction Check: For TCP packets, sequence number is used to guard against accidental receipt of unintended data and malicious use by the attackers if the ISN (Initial Sequence Number) is generated randomly. Forged packets with valid sequence numbers can be used to gain trust from the receiving host. Attackers can then gain access to the compromised system. Note that this attack affects only the TCP packets originated or terminated at the Internet Security Router. Sequence Number Out of Range Check: Protect against TCP out of range sequence number attacks. An attacker can send a TCP packet to cause an intrusion detection system (IDS) to become unsynchronized with the data in a connection. Subsequent frames sent in that connection may then be ignored by the IDS. This may indicate an unsuccessful attempt to hijack a TCP session. ICMP Verbose: Check or un-check this option to enable or disable protection against ICMP error message attacks. ICMP messages can be used to fold your network with undesired traffic. Max IP Fragment Count: Enter the maximum number of fragments the Firewall should allow for every IP packet. This option is required if your connection to the ISP is through PPPoE. This data is used during transmission or reception of IP fragments. When large sized packets are sent via MT4205, the packets are chopped into fragments as large as MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit). By default, this number is set to 45. If MTU of the interface is 1500(default for Ethernet), then there can be a maximum of 45 fragments per IP packet. If the MTU is less, then there can be more number of fragments and this number should be increased. Minimum IP Fragment Size: Enter the Minimum size of IP fragments to be allowed through Firewall. This limit will not be enforced on the last fragment of the packet. If the Internet traffic is such that it generates many small sized fragments, this value can be decreased. This can be found if there are lots of packet losses, degradation in

speed and if the flowing log message is generated very often: ―fragment of size less

than configured minimum fragment size detected‖.

3.4.3 QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the capability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic over various technologies, including Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Ethernet and 802.1x networks, and IP-routed networks that may use any or all of these underlying technologies. The primary goal of QoS is to provide priority including dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by some real-time and interactive traffic), and improved loss characteristics. Also important is making sure that providing priority for one or more flows does not make other flows fail. QoS technologies provide the elemental building blocks that will be used for future business applications in campus, WAN and service provider networks. This chapter provides each setting of QoS.

68 Version 1.0

1. Enable QoS Service: One checkbox appears to activate the QoS control function or

not. Click it to force the router to perform QoS control over traffic flows. By default, it’s

enabled.
