Installing the Router

Hardware Description

The Barricade Router can be connected to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port or RS-232 serial port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the Fast Ethernet LAN ports. It can also function as a print server.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL can provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 Mbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to
1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream. Cable modems can provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream. ISDN can provide up to 128 Kbps when using two bearer channels. PSTN analog connections can now run up to 56 Kbps. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.
Although access speed to the Internet is determined by the modem type connected to your Barricade Router, data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.
The Barricade Router includes an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides 4 RJ-45 LAN ports on the front panel, as well as one RJ-45 WAN port, one RS-232 serial port and one parallel printer port on the rear panel.Full-duplex communications allow data to be sent and received simultaneously, doubling the effective throughput.

Hardware Description
4 RJ-45 ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). These ports can auto-negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X (i.e., allowing these ports to be connected to any network device with straight-through cable). These ports can be connected directly to a PC or to a server equipped with an Ethernet network interface card, or to a networking device such as an Ethernet hub or switch.
One RJ-45 port for connection to a DSL or cable modem
(WAN). This port also auto-negotiates operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X.
One RS-232 serial port to connect to an ISDN Terminal
Adapter (TA) or to a PSTN analog modem.
One parallel printer port that can be connected to a printer.
This printer can then be shared by any LAN users.

Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and configuring an IP address in the same network as the Barricade Router, use the Ping command to check if your computer has successfully connected to the Barricade Router. The following example shows how the Ping procedure can be executed in an MS-DOS window. First, execute the Ping command:
ping 192.168.2.1
If a message similar to the following appears:
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64
a communication link between your computer and the Barricade Router has been successfully established.
If you get the following message,

there may be something wrong in your installation procedure. Check the following items in sequence:
1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the Barricade Router and the computer?
The LAN LED on the Barricade Router and the Link LED of the network card on your computer must be on.
2. Is TCP/IP properly configured on your computer?
If the IP address of the Barricade Router is 192.168.2.1, the IP address of your PC must be from 192.168.2.2 -
192.168.2.254 and the default gateway must be 192.168.2.1.
If you can successfully Ping the Barricade Router you are now ready to connect to the Internet!

LAN IP – Use the LAN menu to configure the LAN IP address
for the Barricade Router and to enable the DHCP server for dynamic client address allocation.
Set a period for the lease time if required. For home networks
this may be set to Forever, which means there is no time limit on the IP address lease.
IP Address Pool – A dynamic IP start address may be
specified by the user, e.g. 192.168.2.100 (default value). Once this start IP address has been assigned, IP addresses running from 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.199 will be part of the dynamic IP address pool. IP addresses from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.99, and 192.168.2.200 to 192.168.2.254 will be available as static IP addresses.
Remember not to include the address of the Barricade Router in the client address pool. Also remember to configure your client PCs for dynamic IP address allocation.

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 router’s firewall. This section can be used to support several Internet based applications such as VPN
43
Page 52
Configuring the Barricade Router
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.
44
Page 53
Advanced Setup
Virtual Server
If you configure the Barricade 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 Barricade 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.
45
Page 54
Configuring the Barricade Router
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.
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. The ports may be in the format 7, 11, 57, or in a range, e.g., 72-96, or a combination of both, e.g., 7, 11, 57, 72-96.
Popular applications requiring multiple ports are listed in the Popular Applications field. From the drop-down list, choose the application and then choose a row number to copy this data into.
Note: Choosing a row that already contains data will
overwrite the current settings.

Firewall

The Barricade Plus 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.

SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection (Default: Enabled)
–The Barricade Router Intrusion Detection Feature 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 with a check in the Stateful Packet Inspection section.
RIP Defect (Default: Enabled) – If an RIP request packet is
not replied 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 accumulating.
Discard Ping from WAN (Default: Disabled)
– Prevents a PING on the Gateway’s WAN port from being routed to the network.
52
Page 61
Advanced Setup
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, and TFTP Service.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The information outlined in this section describes some useful steps for getting your computer and Barricade router online.
Verify you are connected to the Barricade Router
If you are unable to access the Barricade’s web-based administration pages then you may not be properly connected or configured. The screen shots in this section were taken on a Windows 2000 machine, but the same steps will apply to Windows 95/98/Me/XP.
To determine your TCP/IP configuration status please follow the steps below:
1. Click Start then choose Run.
2. Type cmd or command to open a DOS prompt.
3. In the DOS window, type ipconfig and verify the information
that is displayed.
4. If your computer is setup for DHCP, then your TCP/IP configuration should be similar to the information displayed:
IP Address: 192.168.2.X (x is number between 100 and 199)
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1
83
Page 92
Troubleshooting
If you have any other IP address information listed see below.
If you have an IP address that starts with 169.254.XXX.XXX then see the next section.
If you have another IP address configured, then see section A.3
I am getting an IP Address that starts with 169.254.XXX.XXX
If you are getting this IP Address, then you need to check that you are properly connected to the Barricade Router.
Confirm that you have a good link light on the Barricade for the port this computer is connected to. If not, please try another cable.
If you have a good link light, please open up a DOS window as described in the previous section and type ipconfig/renew.
If you are still unable to get an IP Address from the Barricade, reinstall your network adapter. Please refer to your adapter manual for information on how to do this.
I have another IP Address displayed
If you have another IP address listed then the PC may not be configured for a DHCP connection. Please refer to “Configuring
Client TCP/IP” on page 9 for information.
Once you have confirmed your computer is configured for DHCP, then please follow the steps below.
1. Open a DOS window as described above.
2. Type ipconfig/release.
84
Page 93
3. Then type ipconfig/renew.
Troubleshooting
Symptom
The 10/100 LED does not light after a connection is made.
Possible Solutions
Check that the host computer and hub are both powered on.
Be sure the network cable is connected to both devices.
Verify that Category 5 cable is used if you are operating at
100 Mbps, and that the length of any cable does not exceed 100 m (328 ft).
