IAD-200 / IAD-200W Features
The IAD-200 / IAD-200W incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide
sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
• Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet
through the IAD-200 / IAD-200W, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT
(Network Address Translation).
Built-in ADSL Modem. The IAD-200 / IAD-200W has a built-in ADSL modem,
•
supporting all common ADSL connections.
•
IPoA, PPPoE, PPPoA, Direct Connection Support. The IAD-200 / IAD-200W
supports all common connection methods.
1
•
Auto-detection of Internet Connection Method. In must situations, the IAD-200 /
IAD-200W can test your ADSL and Internet connection to determine the connection
method used by your ISP.
• Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the IAD-200 /
IAD-200W supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection)
and Fixed IP Address.
Advanced Internet Functions
• Application Level Gateways (ALGs). Applications which use non-standard connec-
tions or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and
allow such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.
• Special Applications. This feature, also called Port Triggering, allows you to use
Internet applications which normally do not function when used behind a firewall.
•
Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your
LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
•
Dynamic DNS Support. DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature, allows
users to connect to Servers on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if you have a dynamic IP address which changes every time you connect.
• URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.
Firewall. As well as the built-in firewall to protect your LAN, you can define Firewall
•
Rules to determine which incoming and outgoing traffic should be permitted.
•
Scheduling. Both the URL Filter and Firewall rules can be scheduled to operate only at
certain times. This provides great flexibility in controlling Internet -bound traffic.
•
Logs. Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send log data to a Syslog
Server. Log data can also be E-mailed to you.
•
VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software
using PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.
VoIP Features
• SIP Standard Compatible. The IAD-200 / IAD-200W complies with the SIP standard
for VoIP.
•
Advanced Call features. Caller ID, Caller name, Call waiting, three-way conference
call, DTMF relay, Voice active detection, Echo canceller.
•
FAX Support. Both the T.38 and G.711 Fax standards are supported, allowing both
sending and receiving faxes via the Wireless VoIP Gateway.
•
Life line (PSTN fallback) Support. The PSTN (analogue phone) port is automatically
used when the Internet connection is not operational or there is a power failure.
Wireless Features (IAD-200W only)
• Standards Compliant. The IAD-200W complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS) speci-
fications for Wireless LANs.
•
Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations. The 802.11g standard
provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so both 802.11b and
802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.
• Speeds up and exceeding 54Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps
are supported. Also, the IAD-200W support TI's proprietary "g-Plus" solution, which allows even faster speeds between compatible wireless devices.
2
•
WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of
64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before transmission, providing
protection against snoopers.
• WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmission,
providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than WEP, and
provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP.
• Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature can check the
MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only trusted Wireless
Stations can access your LAN.
• Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed
quickly and easily.
LAN Features
• Ethernet Port. The IAD-200 / IAD-200W incorporates a 10/100BaseT port for connec-
tion to your existing LAN.
•
DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The IAD-200 / IAD-200W can act as a
DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
Configuration & Management
• Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for configu-
ration.
•
Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from
the IAD-200 / IAD-200W to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration file to the device.
• Remote Management. The IAD-200 / IAD-200W can be managed from any PC on
your LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally)
be configured via the Internet.
• Network Diagnostics. You can use the IAD-200 / IAD-200W to perform a Ping or
DNS lookup.
Security Features
• Password - protected Configuration. Password protection is provided to prevent
unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
•
Wireless LAN Security. WPA-PSK, WEP, and Wireless access control by MAC
address are all supported. The MAC-level access control feature can be used to prevent
unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.
• NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech-
nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and
even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network,
only a single device - the IAD-200 / IAD-200W.
Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are
•
filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources.
•
Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your
Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The IAD-200 /
IAD-200W incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

• Mozilla 1.6 or later
• Internet Explorer V5.5 or later
Preparation
Before attempting to configure the IAD-200 / IAD-200W, please ensure that:
• Your PC can establish a physical connection to the IAD-200 / IAD-200W. The PC and the
device must be directly connected (using the Hub ports on the IAD-200 / IAD-200W) or
on the same LAN segment.
• The device must be installed and powered ON.
• If the IAD-200 / IAD-200W's default IP Address (192.168.0.1) is already used by another
device, the other device must be turned OFF until the device is allocated a new IP Address
during configuration.
Using UPnP
If your Windows system supports UPnP, an icon for the IAD-200 / IAD-200W will appear in
the system tray, notifying you that a new network device has been found, and offering to create
a new desktop shortcut to the newly-discovered device.
• Unless you intend to change the IP Address of the IAD-200 / IAD-200W, you can accept
the desktop shortcut.
• Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can always find UPnP devices in My
Network Places (previously called Network Neighborhood).
Double - click the icon for the IAD-200 / IAD-200W (either on the Desktop, or in My Network
Places) to start the configuration. Refer to the following section Setup Wizard for details of th e
initial configuration process.
Using your Web Browser

IP address for the IAD-200 / IAD-200W, as seen from the local LAN.
Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN
is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused
IP Address from within the range used by your LAN.
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the IAD-200 / IAD-200W is attached (the same
value as the PCs on that LAN segment).
• If Enabled, the IAD-200 / IAD-200W will allocate IP Addresses
to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (and recommended) value is Enabled.
• If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the IAD-200 / IAD-200W as the default Gateway. See the
following section for further details.
• The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values
used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP
clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients
supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.

• The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as
allocating an IP Address.
• The IAD-200 / IAD-200W can act as a DHCP server.
• Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP client.
This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However, Windows
uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatically instead of "DHCP Client".
• You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your
LAN does not have other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on
your LAN.)
Using the IAD-200 / IAD-200W's DHCP Server
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen,
you can:
• Enable or Disable the IAD-200 / IAD-200W's DHCP Server function.
• Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices while using
DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses are NOT within
the range used by the DHCP Server.
Using another DHCP Server
You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP
Server, rather than the IAD-200 / IAD-200W's, the following procedure is required.
• Disable the DHCP Server feature in the IAD-200 / IAD-200W. This setting is on the LAN
screen.
• Configure the DHCP Server to provide the IAD-200 / IAD-200W's IP Address as the
Default Gateway.
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP for all non-Server versions of Windows.
See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for the procedure to check these settings.

Wireless Screen (IAD-200W only)
The IAD-200W's settings must match the other Wireless stations.
Note that the IAD-200W will automatically accept both 802.11b and 802.11g connections, and
no configuration is required for this feature.
To change the IAD-200W's default settings for the Wireless Access Point feature, use the
Wireless link on the main menu to reach the Wireless screen. An example screen is shown
below.

This is also called the "Network Name". Enter the desired value. The
default value is Wireless.
• If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access
points) this ID is called an ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier).
• To communicate, all Wireless stations use the same SSID/ESSID,
so must match the value entered here.
Select the desired mode:
• 802.11G-plus (TI) This allows clients to use any of the following
modes:
• Standard 802.11b
• 802.11B+ (Texas Instruments proprietary enhanced mode)
• Standard 802.11g
• 802.11G-plus (Texas Instruments proprietary enhanced
mode). This mode can increase throughput by up to 50%, but
will only work between compatible TI wireless stations.
• 802.11g & 802.11b - Both 802.11.g and 802.11b Wireless stations
will be able to use the IAD-200W.
• 802.11g only - Only 802.11g Wireless stations can use the IAD-
200W.
• 802.11b only - Only 802.11b connections are available. 802.11g
Wireless Stations will only be able to use the IAD-200W if they
are fully backward-compatible with the 802.11b standard.

Select the Channel you wish to use on your Wireless LAN.
• If you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or
slow data transfers) you may need to experiment with different
channels to see which is the best.
• If using multiple Access Points, adjacent Access Points should use
different Channels to reduce interference.
If enabled, the IAD-200W will broadcast its SSID. This allows PCs
and other wireless stations to detect this Access Point and use the
correct SSID.
If disabled, PC users will have to manually enter the SSID and other
details of the wireless interface before they can connect to this Access
Point.
The current Wireless security is displayed. The default value is Disabled.
Click this button to access the Wireless security sub-screen, and view

Use this feature to determine which Wireless stations can use the
Access Point. The options are:
• All Wireless Stations - All wireless stations can use the access
point, provided they have the correct SSID and security settings.
• Trusted Wireless stations only - Only wireless stations you
designate as "Trusted" can use the Access Point, even if they have
the correct SSID and security settings.
This feature uses the MAC address to identify Wireless stations.
The MAC address is a low-level network identifier which is
unique to each PC or network device.
To define the trusted wireless stations, use the "Set Stations" button.

Wireless Security (IAD-200W only)
This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure" button on the Wireless screen. There are 3
options for Wireless security:
• Disabled - no data encryption is used.
• WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
• WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than
WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support
WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.

Select the desired option, and ensure the Wireless Stations use the
same setting.
• 64 Bit - data is encrypted, using the default key, before being
transmitted. You must enter at least the default key. For 64 Bit Encryption, the key size is 10 chars in HEX (0~9 and A~F).
• 128 Bit - data is encrypted, using the default key, before being
transmitted. You must enter at least the default key. For 128 Bit
Encryption, the key size is 26 chars in HEX (0~9 and A~F).
Normally, this should be left at the default value of "Automatic". If
changed to "Open System" or "Shared Key", ensure that your Wireless
Stations use the same setting.
Select the key you wish to be the default. Transmitted data is
ALWAYS encrypted using the Default Key; the other Keys are for
decryption only.
You must enter a Key Value for the Default Key.

Key Value Enter the key value or values you wish to use. The Default Key is
required, the other keys are optional. Other stations must have the
same key.
Passphrase
If desired, you can generate a key from a phrase, instead of entering
the key value directly. Enter the desired phrase, and click the "Generate Keys" button.
WPA-PSK Wireless Security
Data - WPA-PSK Screen

WPA-PSK
Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more
secure than WEP, and should be used if possible. WPA-PSK is the
version of WPA, which does NOT require a Radius Server on your
LAN.
Figure 9: WPA-PSK
PSK
WPA Encryption
Enter the PSK (network key). Data is encrypted using a key derived
from the network key. Other Wireless Stations must use the same
network key. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length.
The WPA-PSK standard allows different encryption methods to be
used. Select the desired option. Wireless Stations must use the same
encryption method.

Trusted Wireless Stations (IAD-200W only)
This feature can be used to prevent unknown Wireless stations from using the Access Point.
This list has no effect unless the setting Allow access by trusted stations only is enabled.
To change the list of trusted wireless stations, use the Modify List button on the Access Control
screen. You will see a screen like the sample below.
