How to create a wired network using Ethernet cables

The Ethernet ports will adapt automatically to the connected cable type. This means you can use either type of Ethernet cable, straight-through or crossover, provided it is Category 5 or higher quality.The four Local Network ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the Wireless Base Station 11g will automatically negotiate the connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four Local Network ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the Wireless Base Station 11g to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you can cascade any of the Local Network ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the Wireless Base Station 11g to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect your PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage
the Wireless Base Station 11g. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors.

How to create a wireless network

For an example, see the chapter on "How to set-up a computer network"' at the end of this manual.
Install a wireless network adapter in each computer that will be connected to the Internet or your local network via radio signals. Philips currently offers several wireless network adapters, including the Philips Wireless USB Adapter and the Philips Wireless Notebook Adapter.
Rotate both antennas on the back of the Wireless Base Station 11g to the desired position. For more effective coverage, position antennas along
ENGLISH12
different axes; for example around 45 to 90 degrees apart.Try to place the Wireless Base Station 11g in a position that is located in the center of your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance. Ensure that the Wireless Base Station’s location provides optimal reception throughout your home or office.
Computers equipped with a wireless adapter can communicate with each other as an independent wireless Local Network by configuring each computer to the same radio channel. However, the Wireless Base Station 11g can provide access to your wired/wireless Local Network or to the Internet for all wireless workstations. Each wireless PC in this network infrastructure can talk to any computer in the wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers or network resources in the wired Local Network infrastructure or over the Internet via the Wireless Base Station 11g.
The wireless infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired Local Network, but also increases the effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by retransmitting incoming radio signals through the Wireless Base Station 11g.
A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central database, or for connection between mobile workers, as shown in the following figure:

If you use encryption, configure the same keys used for the Wireless Base Station 11g on each of your wireless clients. Note that the encryption protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.
28 ENGLISH
Network Address Translation (NAT)
From this section you can configure the Address Mapping,Virtual Server, and Special Application features that provide control over the port openings in the Wireless Base Station’s firewall.This section can be used to support several Internet based applications such as VPN
Address Mapping
Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal users. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into the Global IP field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the global IP.
Virtual Server
If you configure the Wireless Base Station 11g as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the Wireless Base Station 11g redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).
For example, if you set Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80.Therefore, by just
entering the IP Address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them. The more common TCP service ports include: HTTP: 80, FTP: 21,Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110
Special Applications
Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections.These applications cannot work with Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, use the following screen to specify the additional public ports to be opened for each application.
2929ENGLISH
Example:
Specify the public port number normally associated with an application in the Trigger Port field. Set the protocol type to TCP or UDP, then enter the ports that the application requires. Special application connections can also be achieved by selecting the application type and item number in the Popular applications field, and clicking the Copy to button to easily specify the port numbers. Then set the protocol type to TCP or UDP.
ID Trigger Port Trigger Type Public Port Public Type Comment
1 6112 UDP 6112 UDP Battle.net 2 28800 TCP 2300-2400, TCP MSN Game
47624 Zone
For a full list of ports and the services that run on them, see www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.
3030 ENGLISH

Firewall

The Wireless Base Station 11g firewall can provide access control of connected client PCs, block common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack,TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network users.
Access Control
Using this option allows you to specify different privileges based on IP address for the client PCs.
Note: Click on Add PC and define the appropriate settings for client PC services
(as shown in the following screen).
3131ENGLISH
MAC Filtering Table
The MAC Filtering feature of the Wireless Base Station 11g allows you to control access to your network to up to 32 clients based on the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the client machine.This ID is unique to each network adapter. If the MAC address is listed in the table, that client machine will have access to the network.
Parental Control
To configure the Parental Control feature, use the table below to specify the web sites (www.somesite.com) and/or keywords you want to filter on your network. To complete this configuration, you will need to create or modify an access rule in “Access Control”.To modify an existing rule, click the Edit option next to the rule you want to modify.To create a new rule, click on the Add PC option. From the Access Control Add PC section check the option for WWW with Parental Control in the Client PC Service table to filter out the web sites and keywords specified below.

1. Click Add Schedule Rule.
2. Define the settings for the schedule rule (as shown on the following screen).
3. Click OK and then click the APPLY button to save your settings.
3333ENGLISH
Use this section to create your network schedule rules.
The times you set below are the times periods that you want the Access Control Rule to be active. For example, if you want to block Internet access (block WWW) from 9AM to 9PM during the week, simply configure 9:00 AM as “Start Time” and 9:00 PM as “End Time” for each weekday. During that time period the user will be unable to access the internet.
Once the schedule rule is set up, you will need to configure or edit an Access Control rule, and select the Schedule Rule that you want to apply to that Access Control rule.You can set the schedule rule at the bottom of the Access Control Configuration page in the “Scheduling Rule” drop-down option.
Intrusion Detection
Firewall Configuration
• SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) and Anti-DoS firewall protection – The Wireless Base Station’s Intrusion Detection feature limits access for incoming traffic at the Internet port.When the SPI feature is turned on, all incoming packets will be blocked.
• Discard Ping from INTERNET – Prevents any response to
ping commands on the Wireless Base Station’s Internet port.
E-Mail Alert Configuration
• When hackers attempt to enter your network, we can alert you by e-mail – Enter your E-mail address. Specify your SMTP and POP3 servers, user name, and password.
3434 ENGLISH
DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the firewall, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ host to this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.
DDNS (Dynamic DNS – Settings)
Domain Name is a series of alphanumeric strings separated by periods that maps to the address of a network connection and identifies the owner of the address. Dynamic DNS provides users on the Internet with a method to tie their domain name to a computer or server. DDNS allows your domain name to follow your IP address automatically by having your DNS records changed when your IP address changes. The Server Configuration section automatically opens the TCP port options checked in the Virtual Server section. Simply enter in the IP Address of your server, such as a web server, and then click on the port option HTTP Port 80 so users can access your web server from the Internet connection.
3535ENGLISH
This DNS feature is powered by a DDNS service provider. With a DDNS connection you can host your own web site, email server, FTP site, and more at your own location even if you have a dynamic IP address. (Default: Disable)
