SNA6500

Congratulations on your purchase of the Philips ADSL Wireless Base Station, hereafter referred to as the ‘ADSL Wireless Base Station’. We are proud to provide you with a powerful yet simple communication device for connecting your local area network (LAN) to the Internet. For those who want to surf the Internet in the most secure way, this router provides a convenient and powerful solution.

About the ADSL Wireless Base Station

The ADSL Wireless Base Station provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a single-user account. Support is provided for both wired and wireless devices. New technology provides wireless security via Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption, WiFi Protected Access (WPA) encryption and MAC address filtering. It is simple to configure and can be up and running in minutes.

Features and Benefits

• Internet connection to an ADSL line via an RJ-11 ADSL port

• Local network connection via four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports

• On-board IEEE 802.11g wireless network adapter

• DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name mapping

• Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion detection, and NAT

• NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account, and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet services such as web, FTP, email, and Telnet)

• VPN pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP)

• User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications requiring multiple connections

• Easy setup through a web browser on any operating system that supports TCP/IP

• Compatible with all popular Internet applications

Applications

Many advanced networking features are provided by the ADSL Wireless Base Station:

Wireless and Wired LAN

The ADSL Wireless Base Station provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, and wireless IEEE 802.11g compatible devices, making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.

Internet Access

This device supports Internet access through an ADSL connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to establish communications with end users, the ADSL Wireless Base Station includes built-in clients for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these services on your computer.

Shared IP Address

The ADSL Wireless Base Station provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can browse the web at the same time.

Virtual Server

If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the ADSL Wireless Base Station to act as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number), the ADSL Wireless Base Station can route the request to the appropriate server (at another internal IP address). This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.

DMZ Host Support

Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an Internet application from functioning correctly.

Introduction

Security

The ADSL Wireless Base Station supports security features that deny Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services that the administrator does not want to serve. The ADSL Wireless Base Station's firewall also blocks 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. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA (WiFi Protected Access), SSID, and MAC filtering provide security over the wireless network.

Data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run at up to 100 Mbps over the 10/100 Ethernet ports and 54 Mbps over the built-in wireless network adapter.

The ADSL Wireless Base Station includes an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides the following ports on the rear panel:

1 ADSL Port

ADSL port (RJ-11). Connect your ADSL line to this port.

WLOn LineXDSLPWR

Connect the System

The ADSL Wireless Base Station can be positioned at any convenient location in your office or home. No special wiring or cooling requirements are needed. You should, however, comply with the following guidelines:

• Keep the ADSL Wireless Base Station away from any heating devices.

• Do not place the ADSL Wireless Base Station in a dusty or wet environment.

You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you install the ADSL Wireless Base Station.

Connect the ADSL Line

Connect the supplied RJ-11 cable from the ADSL Microfilter/Splitter to the ADSL port on your ADSL Wireless Base Station. When inserting an ADSL RJ-11 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.

Phone Line Configuration

Installing a Full-Rate Connection

If you are using a full-rate (G.dmt) connection, your service provider will attach the outside ADSL line to a data/voice splitter. In this case you can connect your phones and computer directly to the splitter as shown below:

Figure 2-3. Installing with a Splitter

Installing a Splitterless Connection

If you are using a splitterless (G.lite) connection, then your service provider will attach the outside ADSL line directly to your phone system. In this case you can connect your phones and computer directly to the incoming ADSL line, but you will have to add low-pass filters to your phones as shown below:

Figure 2-4. Installing without a Splitter

Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling

The four LAN ports on the ADSL Wireless Base Station auto-negotiate the connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, as well as the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.

Use RJ-45 cables to connect any of the four LAN ports on the ADSL Wireless Base Station to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, cascade any of the LAN ports on the ADSL Wireless Base Station 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 connector, be sure the tab on the connector clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.

Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This may damage the

ADSL Wireless Base Station.

Notes:

– Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors for all

10/100 ethernet ports. Use Category 3, 4, or 5 for connections that operate at 10 Mbps, and Category 5 for connections that operate at 100 Mbps.

– Make sure each twisted-pair cable length does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

Connect the Power Adapter

Plug the power adapter into the power socket on the rear of the ADSL Wireless Base Station, and the other end into a power outlet.

Check the power indicator on the front panel is lit. If the power indicator is not lit, refer to ‘Troubleshooting’ on page 42.

In case of a power input failure, the ADSL Wireless Base Station will automatically restart and begin to operate once the input power is restored.

After completing hardware setup by connecting all your network devices, you need to configure your computer to connect to the ADSL Wireless Base Station. See: ‘Windows 98/Me’ on page 9

‘Windows NT 4.0’ on page 12 ‘Windows 2000’ on page 14 ‘Windows XP’ on page 14 ‘Wireless adapters’ on page 17

TCP/IP Configuration

To access the Internet through the ADSL Wireless Base Station, you must configure the network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as the ADSL Wireless Base Station. The default IP settings for the ADSL Wireless Base Station are:

IP Address 192.168.2.1 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 DHCP function Enable DHCP IP Pool Range 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.254

Note: These settings can be changed to fit your network requirements, but you must first

configure at least one computer to access the ADSL Wireless Base Station's web configuration interface in order to make the required changes. (See ‘Configuring the ADSL Wireless Base Station’ on page 20 for instruction on configuring the ADSL Wireless Base Station.)

Windows 98/Me

You may find that the instructions in this section do not exactly match your version of Windows. This is because these steps and screen shots were created from Windows 98. Windows Millennium Edition is similar, but not identical, to Windows

98.
