3. Setting Up Your iConnect625W Router

The iConnect625W router can be configured with your Web Browser. A Web Browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98 ME/2000/XP/Vista. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.

Computers must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly or through an external repeater hub. It must also have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router.

The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached computer must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way to configure the computer is to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP.

If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it may also be advisable to disable any kind of software firewall on your computers, as they can cause problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect their network.

Please follow the steps provided in the following section to install and configure your computer network environment. Before you begin, it is advisable to check your computer’s network components to ensure that the TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter are installed. If they are not installed, please refer to your Windows or other operating system manuals to install them.

Start IP

This address is the beginning of the range from which the DHCP server starts issuing IP addresses. You need to ensure the iConnect625W Management IP Address and any statistically defined addresses are not within the DHCP start and end address ranges. The default Start IP address is 192.168.1.100.

End IP

This is where the DHCP server stops issuing IP addresses. The ending address cannot exceed a subnet limit of 253. This means that the maximum value for the default gateway is 192.168.1.254. If the DHCP server runs out of DHCP addresses, users do not get access to network resources. If this happens, you can increase the End IP addresses (to the limit of 254) or reduce the lease time.

Enable DHCP Relay

Server and Relay Off

Lease Time

The Lease Time is the amount of time that a network user is allowed to maintain a network connection to the router using the dynamic IP address. The client will automatically renew the address after this time has elapsed or a new IP address is issued. If the LAN computer does not renew the address after the lease period, the lease information will be removed from the DHCP database. This database can be viewed under Tools>DHCP Clients. The lease time is in units of seconds.

The default value is set to 604800 seconds (or 7 days).

Highlighting this option configures the iConnect625W to forward the DHCP request to a remote DHCP server. Enter the remote DHCP server address in the Relay IP field.

7.2 Setting Up a WAN Connection

A new WAN connection is a virtual connection over the physical DSL connection. Your iConnect625W can support up to 8 different (unique) virtual connections. If you have multiple different virtual connections, you may need to use the static and dynamic routing capabilities of your iConnect625W to pass data correctly.

Before the router can pass any data between the LAN and WAN interfaces, the WAN Setup must be configured and you must ensure that you have a DSL connection.

Depending on your ISP, you will need some or all of the information outlined below before you can properly configure the WAN Setup.

The iConnect625W supports the following connection types:

 PPPoE  PPPoA  Bridged  Static  DHCP  CLIP

Follow the steps to access the Setup page.

Step 1: To access the WAN Setup, click the Setup tab. The following page appears:

Step 2: Click on New Connection or Modem to setup your WAN configuration.

The following sections will provide steps on how to configure each connection type.

iConnect625W ADSL/ADSL2+ Router User Guide

7.2.1 PPPoE Connection Setup

PPP, or Point-to-Point Protocol, is a method of establishing a network connection/session between network hosts. It provides secure login, and traffic metering among other advanced features.

PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) is a protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet frames. It provides the ability to connect to a network of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote access concentrator.

It was designed to bring the security and metering benefits of PPP to Ethernet connections such as DSL. PPPoE allows ADSL users to be authenticated by the ISP’s systems. Most broadband connections are Ethernet, hence PPP over Ethernet. It also allows for ISPs to provide multiple services over multiple PPP sessions, i.e., rated services, broadband specific content (movies, etc.), metered services, etc.

To configure PPPoE connection, follow the steps provided below.

Step 1: To begin, click the Setup tab on the top menu. Click the New Connection link.

The default PPPoE Connection Setup page appears:

Step 2: MyConnection is the default name displayed in the Name field. Enter a unique

name for your PPPoE connection. The name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers.

Step 3: From the Type drop-down list, PPPoE is the default setting. Step 4: The NAT and Firewall checkboxes are enabled by default under the Options

field. Leave these in the default mode.

iConnect625W ADSL/ADSL2+ Router User Guide

NAT enables the IP address on the LAN side to be translated to IP address on the WAN side. If NAT is disabled, you cannot access the Internet.

Step 5: If you want to enable VLAN, refer to the table at the end of this section as a

reference to configure the following fields:

 Sharing: Select VLAN to enable the VLAN ID and Priority Bits fields.  VLAN ID: Enter the VLAN ID.  Priority Bits: Select the Priority Bits of the VLAN.

Step 6: Enter your Username and Password in the respective fields under the PPP

Settings section as shown, as provided by your ISP.

Step 7: In the PVC Settings section, enter the values for the VPI and VCI if they differ

from the default values: 8 and 35 respectively, as provided by your ISP.

If you need to use the VPI and VCI values in an existing connection, you will need to open it and edit the settings. It is not possible to have more than one connection using the same VPI/VCI values.

Step 8: Select the Quality of Service (QOS). Leave the default value as is if you are

unsure or if the ISP did not provide this information.

Step 9: Click the Apply button and the Save / Restart Menu link on the left menu. The

following screen appears:

over a network. The 3 QoS options are:

• UBR, CBR and VBR.

The QoS selected must be based on the information provided by your ISP. This is set to UBR by default.

UBR is the bandwidth allocation service that does not guarantee any throughput

UBR

levels and uses only available bandwidth. UBR is often used when transmitting data that can tolerate delays.

CBR is the bandwidth service that requires the user to determine a fixed bandwidth requirement at the time the

CBR

connection is set up so that the data can be sent in a steady stream. CBR service is often used when transmitting fixed-rate uncompressed video.

iConnect625W ADSL/ADSL2+ Router User Guide

Field Description

VBR is the bandwidth service that allows users to specify a throughput capacity (i.e., a peak rate) and a sustained

VBR

rate but data is not sent evenly. VBR is often used when transmitting compressed packetized voice and video data, such as video conferencing.

The Peak Cell Rate, measured in cells/sec,

PCR

is the cell rate that the source may never exceed.

Sustained Cell Rate, measured in cells/sec,

SCR

is the average cell rate over the duration of the connection.

The Maximum Burst Size is a traffic

MBS

parameter that specifies the maximum number of cells that can be transmitted at the PCR.

CDVT

The Cell Delay Variation Tolerance is the maximum amount of cell delay variation that can be accommodated. Cell delay variation measures the random inter-arrival times of cells within an ATM connection due to cell transfer delay caused by buffering, multiplexing and so on.

iConnect625W ADSL/ADSL2+ Router User Guide

Field Description

Connect

The overall operation of the auto-sensing PVC feature relies on end-to-end OAM pings to defined PVCs. There are two groups of PVCs:

• Customer default PVCs - defined by the ISP and the backup PVCs. It must have 0/35 as the first default PVC.

• Backup list of PVCs - it must be of the following VPI/VCI: 0/35, 8/35,

0/43, 0/51, 0/59, 8/43, 8/51 and 8/59. These are defined in XLM and

are configurable.

The Auto-sensing PVC feature itself is also configurable in that the auto-search mechanism can be disabled.

Upon DSL synchronization, end-to-end OAM pings will be conducted for every

Auto PVC

defined PVC. The result of the pings will be recorded in an array for later use to determine the usability of the particular PVC for connectivity. This list helps the PVC to manage the available PVC for use, and needs to be synchronised with connections made without auto-sensing PVC.

Once the connection is established, the PVC is stored in flash as the default PVC. Therefore upon reboot, this PVC is automatically chosen as the PVC for that connection.

The list of default PVCs and backup PVCs need to be global for the management of all connections, non auto-sensing PVC connection and auto-sensing connections. These lists allow end users to establish connectivity without keeping track of the PVC used.

7.2.5 Bridged Connection Setup

In Bridge mode, Ethernet frames are bridged over ATM VC. The Ethernet frames are encapsulated using either LLC Encapsulation or VC Multiplexing. Since the Ethernet packets are bridged, the router's only functionality is to pass the Ethernet packets to and from the ISP and the local network.

Your ISP assigns the IP addresses of the local network, either statically or dynamically. If your ISP provides bridged service, you may select the Bridged connection type.

In this setting, the NAT and firewall rules are disabled. This connection method makes the iConnect625W act as a transparent hub and passes packets across from the WAN interface to the LAN interface transparently.

To configure Bridge connection, follow the steps provided below.

Step 1: To begin, click the Setup tab on the top menu. Click the New Connection link.

The default PPPoE Connection Setup page appears:

radio button. The default is set to LLC. If you are unsure about the option, leave the default setting as it is.

Step 5: In the Select LAN field, select the appropriate LAN Group you wish to

configure for Bridge mode.

Step 6: The VPI and VCI values are defaulted to 8 and 35, respectively. Make the

changes in these fields as provided by your ISP, if required.

If you need to use the VPI and VCI values in an existing connection, you will need to open it and edit the settings. It is not possible to have more than one connection using the same VPI/VCI values.

Step 7: Select the QoS. Leave the default value if you are unsure or if the ISP did not

provide this information.

The PCR, SCR, MBS and CDVT fields could be enabled/disabled depending

8.2 SNTP

SNTP ensures that the computer clock time can be synchronised in a network of computers to the millisecond to the public SNTP servers. It uses the UDP protocol on port 123 to communicate between clients and servers.

When the SNTP feature is enabled, your iConnect625W starts verifying the time clock information from the primary SNTP server. If it does not get a valid response within the

Timeout period, it makes additional attempts based on the number on the value of the Retry Count field before it moves to the Secondary SNTP server. If there is no valid

response either for this server, it moves on to the Tertiary SNTP server. If it does not get a valid response from all the servers, the program stops.

When it does receive a valid response from one of the servers, the program goes to sleep for a few minutes as specified in the Polling Interval field before starting the whole process again.

Follow the steps below to configure SNTP.

8.4 Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding allows you to provide local services (for example, web hosting) for users on the Internet or to play Internet games. When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the iConnect625W router forwards these requests to the appropriate computer. Hence, it allows you to direct incoming traffic to specific LAN hosts based on a protocol port number and protocol.

Port Forwarding can be used with dynamic DHCP-assigned addresses and is configurable per LAN group. For example, if you were configuring a Netmeeting server, you would want to assign this server to a static IP address so that the IP address is not re-assigned.

If Internet users are trying to access an Internet application, they must use the WAN IP address. Port Forwarding translates the WAN IP address into a LAN IP address.

Before Port Forwarding can be configured, you must ensure that you have a LAN IP Address configured in LAN Clients.

To configure Port Forwarding, follow the steps below.

Step 1: From the Advanced tab, click the Port Forwarding link on the left menu. The

following page appears:

Step 2: From the WAN Connection drop-down list, select the connection type for

which you wish to which port forwarding is applied. Step 3: Check the Allow Incoming Ping (ICMP) checkbox if you wish to monitor the

connectivity between the IP devices. This is optional. Step 4: From the Select LAN Group drop-down list, LAN group 1 is the default setting

that was previously configured under Setup>LAN Configuration. Step 5: For the LAN IP drop-down list, select the IP address for which you

iConnect625W ADSL/ADSL2+ Router User Guide

wish to host the service.

It is recommended that the Static IP Addresses rather than the DHCP IP Addresses be used for Port Forwarding.

Step 6: If you wish to add a new LAN IP address, click the New IP button. The LAN

Clients page appears:

Step 7: Follow the instructions under the LAN Clients section for details on entering

the fields. Step 8: To add a new rule for this connection, highlight the appropriate category radio
