Hardware Installation

You may position the Siemens broadband router at any convenient location where it will be well ventilated. Do
not stack it with other devices or place it on the carpet. You can connect the router to an existing Ethernet port
on your computer.

To connect the SpeedStream device via the Ethernet interface, your
computer must have an Ethernet adapter (also called a network
interface card, or NIC) installed. If your computer does not have this
adapter, install it before proceeding further. Refer to your Ethernet
adapter documentation for complete installation instructions. Once you
verify installation of an Ethernet adapter, perform the following
procedure to connect the router to your computer.

1. With the PC powered off, connect the Ethernet cable to an
Ethernet port on the router.

2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet

port on the PC.

3. Connect the DSL cable (resembles a telephone cord) to the

DSL port on the rear of the router. To reduce the risk of fire,
use only 26 AWG gauge telecommunication cord to
connect your DSL port on your router to a DSL telephone
jack.

4. Plug the other end of the DSL cable into the phone jack.

5. Connect the power adapter to the rear of the router.

6. Plug the power adapter into the electrical wall outlet.

7. Flip the power switch on the router.

8. Power on all connected computers.

You can now configure the TCP/IP settings as detailed in the PC Configuration

User Management

Configure the Radius Server

Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is client-server based access control and authentication
feature. The RADIUS client resides locally on the router and works in conjunction with a variety of RADIUS
Server applications.

• The client is responsible for passing user information to designated RADIUS servers, then acting on the

returned response.

• RADIUS servers are responsible for receiving user connection requests, authenticating the user, then

returning all configuration information necessary for the client to deliver service to the user.

Transactions between the client and server are authenticated through the use of a shared secret, which is
never sent over the network. In addition, any user passwords are sent encrypted between the client and
RADIUS server to further secure account passwords.

When the router is configured to use RADIUS, a user attempting to login presents authentication information
(Username and Password) to the router. Upon receipt, the router’s RADIUS Client creates an “access-request”
containing username, the user's password, and method being used to access the system. The password is
hidden using a method based on the RSA Message Digest Algorithm MD5 [3].

The access request is submitted to the RADIUS server via the network. If no response is returned within a
length of time, the request is re-sent a specified number of times. The router’s RADIUS client can also forward
requests to a secondary server in the event that the primary server is down or unreachable.

Once the RADIUS server receives the request, it validates the RADIUS client that sent the request. A request

Routing Table Configuration

Routing Table Configuration

Every host has a default routing table that it uses to determine which physical interface address to use for
outgoing IP traffic. The router supports virtual routing, which allows you to define multiple routing tables for a
single host. Each routing table added has a defined range of IP source addresses that use that table. The
router determines which routing table to use based on the source address in the packet.

For example, if the router receives a packet whose source address is 192.168.254.10, it checks if that address
is within the address range defined for a virtual routing table. If it is, the virtual routing table is used to route the
packet. If it is not, the default routing table is used instead.

To configure additional routing tables:

1. Click Routing Table Configuration on the left navigation pane of the Router Information page. This
displays the Routing Table Configuration page.

Firewall Scripts

A firewall is any combination of hardware and software that secures a network and traffic to prevent
interception or intrusion. The router has built-in firewall capabilities to secure your network and data
communications. The router is equipped with predefined scripts that can be modified or used “as is” to
construct firewalls. All network security efforts, including firewall configurations, should be performed by an

Stateful Firewall

Stateful Firewall

Stateful Firewall varies from the IP Filtering Firewall in that it gathers and maintains state information about
each session. IP Filtering Firewall examines the packet’s header information and matches it against a set of
defined rules. If it finds a match, the corresponding action is performed. If not, the packet is accepted. Stateful
firewall intercepts outgoing packets and gathers information from them (for example IP address information,
port number) to create state information for that session. When an incoming packet is received, the Stateful
Firewall checks the packet against the state information it has maintained and accepts the packet if the packet
belongs to the session.
