NTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the ADSL2 BarricadeTM g, hereafter referred to as the “Barricade.” 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, the Barricade provides a convenient and powerful solution.

About the Barricade

The Barricade 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, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) and MAC address filtering. It is simple to configure and can be up and running in minutes.

Features and Benefits

• Built-in ADSL2/2+ modem - supports download speeds up to

24 Mbps

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

• Built-in IEEE802.11g 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point (AP)

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

mapping

1-1

NTRODUCTION

• 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)

• VLAN and QoS (Quality of Service) support

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

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

Applications

Many advanced networking features are provided by the Barricade:

• Wireless and Wired LAN

The Barricade 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 Barricade includes built-in clients for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these services on your computer.

1-2

PPLICATIONS

• Shared IP Address

The Barricade 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 Barricade 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 Barricade 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 Barricade 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 Barricade’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 Broadcast disable, and MAC filtering provide security over the wireless network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) are also supported.

You will need 2 suitable screws, of diameter 4.4 mm, to wall mount the Barricade.

To wall mount the unit:

1. Determine where you want to mount the Barricade.

2. Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are 120 mm apart.

3. Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 5 mm of each head exposed.

4. Maneuver the Barricade so the wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.

5. Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the Barricade down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.

Note: When wall mounting the unit, ensure that it is within reach of the

power outlet.

VLAN

VLANs are organized and controlled by VLAN Profiles. Up to 4 VLAN profiles can be created. Once a VLAN profile is created, you should add interfaces into the VLAN by changing the VLAN setting of that interface. Please note that only those interfaces of IEEE 802 bridging type (ex. LAN ports and 1483 Bridging PVCs) can be added to a VLAN.

ONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

Click Add VLAN to setup the profile.

• Description: enter a name or description for the VLAN.

• IP Address: enter the IP address.

• Subnet Mask: enter the subnet mask.

• NAT Domain: select private or public.

• IGMP Snooping: Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping is a method by which Layer 2 devices can “listen in” on IGMP conversations between hosts and routers. When a switch hears a group join message from a host, it notes which switch interface it heard the message on, and adds that interface to the group. Similarly, when a Layer 2 switch hears a group leave message or a response timer expires, the switch will remove that host’s switch interface from the group.

• IGMP Querier: if the IGMP Querier is enabled, then the router will periodically query all multicast group members on the specified VLAN.

WPA

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP) and 802.1X mechanisms. It provides dynamic key encryption and

802.1X authentication service. The Barricade supports both WPA and

WPA2. WPA/WPA2 is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control for existing wireless LAN. Matching authentication and encryption methods must be set up on your Barricade and wireless client devices to use WPA/WPA2. To use WPA, your wireless network cards must be equipped with software that supports WPA. A security patch from Microsoft is available for free download (for XP only).

Advanced Setting

To change the settings on this screen is recommended for experienced user only. It is advised to leave the parameters at the default value.

• Beacon Interval: this represents the amount of time between beacon transmissions. Before a station enters power save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at the access point).

• DTIM Interval: Delivery Traffic Indication Message, indicates when the DTIM occurs. A DTIM interval is a count of the number of beacon frames that must occur before the access point sends the buffered multicast frames. For example, a DTIM interval of one means that the multicast frames are sent after each beacon frame. A DTIM interval of two indicates that multicast frames are sent after every two beacon frames, and so on. Because each beacon frame includes a field that identifies the DTIM interval, all stations know when to wake up and receive multicast frames if they are implementing power saving.

4-44

ONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

• Fragmentation Threshold: this is the maximum size for directed data packets transmitted. Larger frames fragment into several packets this size or smaller before transmission. The receiving station then reassembles the transmitted fragments.

• RTS Threshold: RTS stands for “Request to Send”. This parameter controls what size data packet the low level RF protocol issues to an RTS packet. Using a small value causes RTS packets to be sent more often, consuming more of the available bandwidth, therefore reducing the apparent throughput of the network packet. However, the more RTS packets that are sent, the quicker the system can recover from interference or collisions.

• CTS Protection Mode: CTS stands for “Clear to Send”. If this value is set to Auto. The AP will automatically use CTS Protection Mode when the 802.11g products are experiencing severe problems and are not able to transmit to the AP in an environment with heavy 802.11b traffic. This function boosts the AP’s ability to catch all 802.11g transmissions but will decrease the performance.

• WMM Mode: Wireless Multimedia support. WMM prioritizes traffic according to 4 AC (Access Categories) - voice, video, best effort, and background. However, it does not provide guaranteed throughput. It is suitable for simple applications that require QoS, such as Wi-Fi Voice over IP (VoIP) phone.

ONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

Address Mapping

Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal users. This also hides the internal network for increased privacy and security. 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 into the “from” field.

Virtual Server

If you configure the Barricade 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 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:

RIP

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.

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 verif y 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.

FIREWALL

The Barricade 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 Barricade 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. (For details see page 4-62.)

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