Congratulations on your purchase of the SAGEM F@stTM 1500WG IEEE 802.11g ADSL Router,
hereafter referred to as the “ SAGEM F@st

TM

1500WG ADSL Router”. 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.

1.1 About the SAGEM F@stTM 1500WG ADSL Router

The ADSL Router 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 and MAC address filtering. It is simple
to configure and can be up and running in minutes.

1.2 Features and Benefits

¾ Internet connection to an ADSL modem via an RJ-11 ADSL port.

¾ Local network connection via four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports.

¾ On-board IEEE 802.11g wireless network adapter.

¾ DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name mapping.

¾ Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion detection, and NAT.

¾ 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, e-mail, and
Telnet).

¾ VPN pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP).

¾ User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications requiring multiple

connections.

¾ Easy setup through a web browser on any operating system that supports TCP/IP.

¾ Compatible with all popular Internet applications.

¾ QoS for outbound traffic classification and bandwidth configuration based on Diffserv.

¾ Dynamic DNS for mapping a static Domain Name to a dynamic IP address.

¾ SIP Pass-through.

1.3 Applications

Many advanced networking features are provided by the SAGEM F@stTM 1500WG ADSL
Router:

• Wireless and Wired LAN

The SAGEM F@stTM 1500WG ADSL Router 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 SAGEM F@st

TM

1500WG ADSL Router includes built-in clients for these protocols, eliminating the need to install
these services on your computer.

1 - Introduction

SAGEM F@st™ 1500 Reference Manual - 288053220-04

Reproduction and communication prohibited without the written permission of E

E E

E Page 1-3

• Shared IP Address

The SAGEM F@stTM 1500WG ADSL Router 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 SAGEM F@stTM 1500WG ADSL Router 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
SAGEM F@st

TM

1500WG ADSL Router 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.

• Security

The SAGEM F@stTM 1500WG ADSL Router 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 SAGEM F@st

TM

1500WG ADSL Router’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), SSID, and MAC filtering provide security over the wireless network.

• Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The SAGEM F@stTM 1500WG ADSL Router supports three of the most commonly used VPN
protocols - PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. These protocols allow remote users to establish a secure
connection to their corporate network. If your service provider supports VPNs, then these
protocols can be used to create an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for passing secure data
over the Internet (i.e., a traditionally shared data network).

The VPN protocols supported by the SAGEM F@st

TM

1500WG ADSL Router are briefly

described below:

• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol - Provides a secure tunnel for remote client access to a

PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes provisions for call origination and flow control
required by ISPs.

• L2TP merges the best features of PPTP and L2F - Like PPTP, L2TP requires that the ISP’s

routers support the protocol.

• IP Security - Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can support large encryption

networks (such as the Internet) by using digital certificates for device authentication.

4.7.2 Virtual Server

If you configure the SAGEM F@st™ 1500 ADSL Router 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 SAGEM F@st™ 1500 ADSL
Router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another
internal IP address).

For example, if you set Type/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. A list of
ports is maintained at the following link: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.

4.8 Firewall

The

SAGEM F@st™ 1500 ADSL Router

’s firewall inspects packets at the application layer,
maintains TCP and UDP session information including time-outs and the number of active
sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent certain types of network attacks.

Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called Denial-of-Service (DoS)
attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and networks with a connection to the Internet. Their
goal is not to steal information, but to disable a device or network so users no longer have
access to network resources.

The

SAGEM F@st™ 1500 ADSL Router

protects against the following DoS attacks: 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. (See section 4.8.5 for details).

The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to
protect your network. Select Enable and click the “Apply” to open the Firewall submenus.

In this menu is included the following sub-menus:

¾ Access Control (see section 4.8.1),

4.8.5 Intrusion Detection

1) Intrusion Detection Feature

Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Anti-DoS firewall protection (Default: Enabled) - The
Intrusion Detection Feature of the

SAGEM F@st™ 1500 ADSL Router

limits access for incoming
traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI feature is turned on, all incoming packets will be blocked
except for those types marked in the Stateful Packet Inspection section.

RIP Defect (Default: Enabled) - If an RIP request packet is not acknowledged to by the router, it
will stay in the input queue and not be released. Accumulated packets could cause the input
queue to fill, causing severe problems for all protocols. Enabling this feature prevents the
packets from accumulating.

Discard Ping to WAN (Default: Disabled) - Prevent a ping on the

ADSL Router

’s WAN port from

being routed to the network.

2) Stateful Packet Inspection

This is called a “stateful” packet inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to
determine the state of the communications; i.e., it ensures that the stated destination computer
has previously requested the current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all
communications are initiated by the recipient computer and are taking place only with sources
that are known and trusted from previous interactions. In addition to being more rigorous in their
inspection of packets, stateful inspection firewalls also close off ports until connection to the
specific port is requested.

When particular types of traffic are checked, only the particular type of traffic initiated from the
internal LAN will be allowed. For example, if the user only checks “FTP Service” in the Stateful
Packet Inspection section, all incoming traffic will be blocked except for FTP connections
initiated from the local LAN.

Stateful Packet Inspection allows you to select different application types that are using dynamic
port numbers. If you wish to use the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to block packets, click on
the Yes radio button in the “Enable SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection” field and then check
the inspection type that you need, such as Packet Fragmentation, TCP Connection, UDP
Session, FTP Service, H.323 Service, or TFTP Service.

remains active. When the timeout value expires, the router drops
the unassembled packet, freeing that structure for use by another
packet.

TCP SYN wait

30 sec Defines how long the software will wait for a TCP session to

synchronize before dropping the session.

TCP FIN wait

5 sec Specifies how long a TCP session will be maintained after the

firewall detects a FIN packet.

TCP connection
idle timeout

3600 seconds
(1 hour)

The length of time for which a TCP session will be managed if there
is no activity.

UDP session
idle timeout

30 sec The length of time for which a UDP session will be managed if

there is no activity.

H.323 data
channel idle
timeout

180 sec The length of time for which an H.323 session will be managed if

there is no activity.

4.8.6 DMZ

If you have a client computer that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the
firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted twoway Internet access. Enter the IP address
of a DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) host on 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.

4.9 Route

These pages define routing related parameters, including static routes and RIP (Routing
Information Protocol) parameters.

In this menu is included the following sub-menus:

¾ Static Route (see section 4.9.1),

¾ RIP (see section 4.9.2),

¾ Routing Table (see section 4.9.3).

4.9.1 Static Route

Click “Add” to add a new static route to the list, or check the box of an already entered route
and click “Modify”. Clicking “Delete” will remove an entry from the list.

Parameter Description

Index

Check the box of the route you wish to delete or modify.

Network Address

Enter the IP address of the remote computer for which to set a static route.

Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask of the remote network for which to set a static route.

Gateway

Enter the WAN IP address of the gateway to the remote network.

Parameter Description

General RIP Parameters

RIP mode

Globally enables or disables RIP.

Auto summary If Auto summary is disabled, then RIP packets will include sub-

network information from all subnetworks connected to the
router. If enabled, this sub-network information will be
summarized to one piece of information covering all
subnetworks.

Table of current Interface RIP parameter

Interface

The WAN interface to be configured.

Operation Mode • Disable: RIP disabled on this interface.

• Enable: RIP enabled on this interface.

• Silent: Listens for route broadcasts and updates its route table.
It does not participate in sending route broadcasts.

Version Sets the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) version to use on

this interface.

Poison Reverse

A method for preventing loops that would cause endless
retransmission of data traffic.

Authentication

Required

• None: No authentication.

• Password: A password authentication key is included in the
packet. If this does not match what is expected, the packet will
be discarded. This method provides very little security as it is
possible to learn the authentication key by watching RIP
packets.

• MD5: An algorithm that is used to verify data integrity through
the creation of a 128-bit message digest from data input (which
may

be a message of any length) that is claimed to be as unique to
that specific data as a fingerprint is to a specific individual.

Authentication

Code

Password or MD5 Authentication key.

RIP sends routing-update messages at regular intervals and when the network topology
changes. When a router receives a routing update that includes changes to an entry, it updates
its routing table to reflect the new route. RIP routers maintain only the best route to a
destination. After updating its routing table, the router immediately begins transmitting routing
updates to inform other network routers of the change.

4.9.3 Routing Table

Parameter Description

Flags

Indicates the route status:

C = Direct connection on the same subnet.

S = Static route.

R = RIP (Routing Information Protocol) assigned route.

I = ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Redirect route.

Network Address

Destination IP address.

Netmask

The subnetwork associated with the destination.

This is a template that identifies the address bits in the destination address used
for routing to specific subnets. Each bit that corresponds to a “1” is part of the
subnet mask number; each bit that corresponds to “0” is part of the host number.

Gateway

The IP address of the router at the next hop to which frames are forwarded.

Interface

The local interface through which the next hop of this route is reached.

Metric

When a router receives a routing update that contains a new or changed
destination network entry, the router adds 1 to the metric value indicated in the
update and enters the network in the routing table.
