2 Connecting to your network and line
LAN ports L1 to L4 on the SSR725 router are the type designed to be connected to directly to the port on a PC LAN card using a
standard cat5 LAN cable. If you wish to connect the router to another hub then you must use the connector marked ‘Uplink’ to connect to
a ‘normal’ port on the second hub. Please note that you can use either the Uplink port OR L4 but NOT both at the same time.
Use the supplied RJ11 phone cable to connect from the SDSL
socket on your router to your SDSL phone socket.
Connect the power jack from the power supply to the power socket
on the router and then plug the power supply into a suitable UK
power socket: The amber POWER LED on the front of the router
should light up.
Configuration can be carried out using the Command Line Interface
via Telnet (user name is ‘admin’ and password is ‘admin’ and
default IP address of the router is 192.168.7.1) or via a serial port
link to the 9 pin console port on the rear of the router (port settings
9600,8,1,n,no flowcontrol). Alternatively a more user friendly
configuration method is to use the built in http interface. To do this
all you need to do to be able to do is access the router through your
web browser running on any computer.

Solwise SSR725 SDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide Chapter 3. Setting up TCP/IP on your computer
3 Setting up TCP/IP on your computer
You first of all need to check the TCP/IP settings of your computer.
Please note that the author is assuming you are using MS Windows
(Win9x or 2K/XP) or Mac OS10; please make appropriate
allowances if using another operating system or platform such as
Linux. The default IP address of the SSR router is 192.168.7.1 on
subnet mask 255.255.255.0. In simple terms this means that, in
order for your computer to talk to the router, their IP address should
be in the range from 192.168.7.2 to 192.168.7.254. If you already
use TCP as your default network protocol and you don’t use IP
settings in the required range then you will have to either
permanently alter the settings of your computers to suite or change
the default address of the router. If you wish to alter the settings of
all your computers to suite then it is probably best to ask the person
in charge of your network set-up to do this for you. If you want to
alter the router then you will have to temporarily change the settings
for your PC.
3.1 Installing TCP protocol on your PC
Win9xWin2K/XP
Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network....
Go to Start/Settings/Network and Dialup Connections...
Click on ‘Local Area Connection’.
If you already see a line showing TCP/IP protocol such as
the example shown above then you can skip this section.
Otherwise click on Add, then select Protocol and then click
on Add.. again. Then on the Select Network Protocol
screen select Microsoft/TCP/IP...
11
Chapter 3. Setting up TCP/IP on your computer Solwise SSR725 SDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide
Click on OK and Windows will then add the protocol to your network setup.
Then on Properties..
If you already see a line showing TCP/IP protocol such as
the example shown above then you can skip this section.
Otherwise click on Install, then select Protocol and then
click on Add.
Then on the Select Network Protocol screen select
Microsoft/TCP/IP...
Click on OK and Windows will then add the protocol to
your network set-up.
12
Solwise SSR725 SDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide Chapter 3. Setting up TCP/IP on your computer
Scroll down the list of network settings until you find the
entry showing TCP/IP. There may be several such entries
(see example); the one you need is the entry associated
with your network card. Select it and then click on
Properties:
Go to your local network settings (Start/Settings/Network
and Dialup Connections/Local Area
Connection/Properties).
Scroll down the list of network settings until you find the
entry showing TCP/IP. Select it and then click on
Properties:
The first screen shows the IP Address for your PC. As
already explained, you need to ensure that each PC on
your LAN has an IP address which is both unique and
within the subnet range of the routers address e.g. in the
range 192.168.7.2 to 192.168.7.254 (assuming default IP
address for the router).
Next, for each PC you must enter a Gateway address. This
is the address of the router and tells your PC where to
send internet TCP requests:
As already explained, you need to ensure that each PC on
your LAN has an IP address which is both unique and
within the subnet range of the routers address e.g. in the
range 192.168.7.2 to 192.168.7.254 (assuming default IP
address for the router).
Now you need to enter the address of the router as the
default gateway.
13
Chapter 3. Setting up TCP/IP on your computer Solwise SSR725 SDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide
Finally you must set-up DNS Configuration on each PC:
Each PC MUST have the address for DNS entered in it’s
TCP setting. If your PC doesn’t have a DNS setting then it
will not be able to find any internet sites so it’s important
that you have this set correctly!
On the DNS Configuration screen you must Enable DNS
and then enter a Host name; this can be anything you like
– just a made up name will do!
Now you need to enter the DNS address.
Each PC MUST have the address for DNS entered in it’s
TCP setting. If your PC doesn’t have a DNS setting then it
will not be able to find any internet sites so it’s important
that you have this set correctly!
On the main TCP/IP Properties screen select ‘Use the
following DNS server addresses’.
Now you need to enter an address for the ‘Preferred DNS’.
Ideally you should get the DNS address to use from your
ISP (a list showing some of the common ISP DNS
addresses is given below). However, if you don’t know the
ISPs’ DNS address then you can temporarily use the
address 212.50.160.28.
Enter the DNS address for the preferred DNS (as shown
above).
Finally click on OK, then OK and then Close. The new
TCP/IP settings should take immediate effect.,
14
That’s all there is to the basic set-up.
Solwise SSR725 SDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide Chapter 3. Setting up TCP/IP on your computer
Ideally you should get the DNS address to use from your
ISP (a list of common addresses is given later). However, if
you don’t know the ISPs’ DNS address then you can
temporarily use the address 212.50.160.28. You need to
‘add’ the DNS address to the DNS list.
Finally click on OK and then OK from the main Network
menu.
Windows will now install the revised network settings;
please note that your original Windows installation CD
might be required. You should then reboot your PC.
That’s all there is to the basic set-up.
3.2 Setting up TCP/IP protocol on your Mac
Configuration of the router is done using your web browser but first
of all you need to ensure that the IP settings on computer are
correctly set to enable you to talk with the router. The default IP
address of the Asus router is 192.168.7.1 with netmask
255.255.255.0. This means your computers and other network
resources should have IP address’s in the range 192.168.7.2 to
192.168.7.254. First of all go to the Network set-up on your Mac
:
15
Chapter 3. Setting up TCP/IP on your computer Solwise SSR725 SDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide
Enter a suitable IP address (e.g. 192.168.7.2) and the netmask as
shown above and click on Apply Now.
Now enter the IP address of the router in ‘Router’ box.
16
Solwise SSR725 SDSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide Chapter 3. Setting up TCP/IP on your computer
You also need to enter an address for your ‘Domain Name Server’.
Ideally you should get the DNS address to use from your ISP.
However, if you don’t know the ISPs’ DNS address then you can
temporarily use the address 212.50.160.23.
Add the DNS address to the Domain Name Server list.
That’s all you should have to do. Click on Apply Now and your new
settings should be set.
The easiest way to configure your router is via your web browser
accessing the html pages direct in the router. Please note that if
there is some reason why you cannot do configuration via a web
browser then you will have to use console management via the
WAN port of the router connected to the serial port of your PC and
then use the GUI application located on the software CD. To do this
you will need to use the 9 pin serial lead supplied. Details on how to
do configuration via the GUI software are given later in this guide.
To configure using your browser you must first of all must have
successfully installed TCP/IP protocol on your computer as detailed
above.
After checking your connections and TCP settings (see above) you
are ready to run your browser in order to configure the router.
Any browser can be used on any operating system: The
configuration screens are the same.
Note: If you are using Explorer on a PC then first
check that your browser is set to use LAN for internet
access. To do this in Explorer go to Tools/Internet
Options/Connections. Then check that the setting
‘Never dial a connection’ is selected. Then on the LAN
Settings screen nothing should be ticked.
Now start your browser and enter the address of the router on the
Address/URL line of your browser (192.168.7.1). The browser
should then load the start-up page from the router:
First of all you are advised to clear the router configuration. To do
this goto System/Restart/Reset. To enter configuration, enter admin
for username and password…..
Put a name for the Description (maybe the name of your ISP).
Then put in the correct VPI/VCI values (for BT 0/38).
Tick the box Enable NAT.
If you are on a KC phone line then set LLC Header to on (for a BT
line leave this as off).
Then select CHAP and enter your login name and password as
supplied by your ISP. PLEASE NOTE – Even if your ISP doesn’t
provide a login password you MUST enter one (just make one up!).
If you have a valid login with your ISP then the IP address at the top
of the ppp-0 status page should be valid (i.e. NOT 0.0.0.0). If you do
NOT see a valid IP address (e.g. 0.0.0.0) then your router is not
correctly logged in with the ISP. In this case check the your login
name and password (see trouble shooting at the end of this
guide).
You can now connect the router to the rest of your network.
Although the majority of the most common set-up options can be
done via the web interfaces, some of the more complicated/less
common features can only be configured via the Command Line
Interface (CLI) mode. To access the CLI mode you can use either
Telnet via the LAN or use console programme via the serial port.
5.1.1 Telnet
To access the command line interface via Ethernet interface, you
can use TELNET to log in the Router from the local Ethernet
network using the Ethernet IP address that is assigned to your
SDSL Router. The Ethernet IP of the SDSL Router is by default set
to 192.168.7.1.
Select Start->Programs->MS-DOS Prompt.
Find the IP address of the Router’s Ethernet port. Then use
TELNET to login the Router. For example, TELNET192.168.7.1 (in
the example below the IP of the router in our test was set to
192.168.0.11 – however you should use the correct IP address set
for your router).
You will see that a telnet dialog pops up asking for your
configuration Login name. By default this is ‘admin’. Then you need
the password which by default is also admin. Then the prompt
should be shown with a successful login.
Now you are ready to configure the Router by using command line
interface (CLI) commands.
5.1.2 Using terminal program via serial console port
A terminal can be connected directly to the Serial console port. This
requires the use of a terminal emulation software package such as
Microsoft HyperTerminal. By default setting, the Router is
configured to communicate at a baud rate of 9600. Any standard
You should then see the Login: prompt. By default this is ‘admin’.
Then you need the password which by default is also admin. Then
the prompt should be shown with a successful login.
5.1.3 Basic CLI syntax
46
Now you are ready to configure the Router by using the command
line interface (CLI) commands.
If you type ‘help’ at the CLI prompt then the following instructions
are given.
Next change the LAN address and subnet to the required values
(note that the Secondary IP Address allows you to run a separate
LAN subnet range on the same port – useful if you want to
configure ports forwarding or firewall settings for a separate LAN).
Then click on Apply. Please note that, once you change the LAN
address you will then have to immediately change the IP address of
your PC so you can ‘see’ the router again.
Finally save the configuration and reset the router.
Now add the port mapping rule you require e.g. to forward the telnet
port to point to the LAN port of the router (so you can do remote
configuration using telnet) you should add 23/tcp…
If you are using the firewall then you must ensure that you setup
port filter rules to allow the netmeeting traffic to come through. In
this case, the ports that you will need to open up are:
More details on the security trigger commands are given in the CLI
manual.
This trigger will enable you to do outgoing Netmeeting and H.323
calls. If you want to accept incoming H.323 calls then you need to
set-up a port forwarding rule on port 1720/TCP to point to your
computer (see below for details about how to set reserved port
rules).
Remember to do ‘System/Save’ to store the settings.
5.5 Configuring the ‘Security Interface’ to allow ftp
Some ftp applications seem to need a security trigger to allow data
flow. The figure below shows the settings required:
The 7x5 includes a full featured firewall, with capabilities such as
intrusion detection, packet filtering and NAT. There are many
different ways for configuring a firewall but this section gives an
overview of the options.
5.6.1 Intrusion Detection
Intrusion detection protects you from certain types of
common attacks and will block access from hosts
attempting these attacks.
To configure intrusion detection you must first click on
the Security (NAT,Firewall) link on the left hand side
under Configuration.
Make sure that Intrusion Detection is ticked as enabled.
Click Change State to change the state.
At the bottom of the screen is the Policies, Triggers and Intrusion Detection section.
Click on Configure Intrusion Detection to
configure the options for Intrusion detection.
The following screen then shows the options that can be configured
for intrusion detection. All values should be left at defaults unless
you specifically want to change any of the settings as per your own
security policy.
The only exception is the top two options Use Blacklist and Use
Victim Protection these should both be enabled so Intrusion
detection will be fully functional.
Click Apply to keep the changes.
If you are unsure about any settings or values then you are advised
to leave the values set to default.
When you have finished altering the settings then remember to
save the new configuration and restart.
5.6.2 Packet Filtering
Packet filtering allows you to block certain types of traffic, such as
telnet access or FTP applications, the 7x5 allows you to completely
customise what you want to filter. There are pre set security levels
of none, low, medium & high. The tables below The following
tables describe the default policies enabled in the firewall for each
of the high, medium and low security levels. The tables tell you
whether a certain service can be received in or allowed out by a
specific policy:
These presets block and allow common applications. They will suit
most needs, if you have a specific application you may want to add
your own filters to either allow or deny traffic.
To configure packet filtering you must first click on the Security link
on the left hand side under Configuration.
Next decide on whether you want validators to block or allow traffic.
Selecting “allow” will allow
validators but block
Selecting “block” will block
traffic from all hosts which have
traffic from other all other hosts.
traffic from all hosts which have
validators but allow traffic from all other hosts.
For example, let’s say that you DON’T want client 192.168.7.5 on
your network to be able to do any web access (not sure why you’d
want to do this but it will serve as an example).
So this will be a “block” policy
Then click on Apply….
Now you need to do two things: Set up a port filter on port 80 (as
used for web access) and next setup your host as 192.168.7.5 for
this policy.
Most users will use their router with NAT enabled. This allows them
to ‘share’ their internet connectivity across
their whole network without needing a
block of static IP addresses from the ISP
i.e. the ISP sees the whole of your LAN as
a single IP address and the router
automatically sorts out traffic to the correct
local clients:
However using NAT has it’s advantages
and disadvantages. The advantages are it
allows you to easily run multiple PC’s
through a single user ISP account and it
acts as a natural firewall stopping
unsolicited incoming traffic. However the
disadvantage of NAT is that some software
needs the IP address of
the PC to be ‘exposed’
to the outside world –
this is just what NAT
stops! For some
applications you can get
around this using port
forwarding but not
always. In this case the
only way around the
problem is to turn NAT
off and open up you
network. To do this you
will first of all need to get
a block of IP addresses
from your ISP so that
you can allocate an IP
address to each of your
clients.
First of all setup a ‘normal’ NAT configuration (as detailed above)
and check that you can successfully connect to the internet through
the router.
Then, from the Status page click on the ppp-0 link in the WAN
Status box…
Now click on ‘Disable NAT to internal interfaces’….
Now there is no NAT routing between the WAN (internet) and LAN
(your PC’s) sides of the router.
The next step is to assign the correct IP address to the LAN side of
the router (the IP address for the WAN side of the router should be
automatically assigned to the router when it logs into the ISP - see
above).
Now, enter in the Primary IP Address settings the WAN IP address
and also the subnet mask. Use the subnet mask as advised by your
ISP e.g. if you have a block of 8 fixed IP’s then the subnet mask is
probably 255.255.255.248. Now click on Apply.
Please note that, once you change the LAN address you will then
have to immediately change the IP address of your PC so you can
‘see’ the router again. So you should now change the IP address’s
and subnet masks of your clients with the rest of the IP addresses
you received from your ISP.
With your PC setup with the new address you should now be able
to login in the web configuration again (using the new LAN address
for the router).
To complete the multiple IP setup you now need to connect using
console CLI mode. You can do this using the serial port console or
via telnet (details of console connection are given above).
From the console prompt issue the following commands:
pppoa set transport ppp-0 subnetmask 255.255.255.255
pppoa set transport ppp-0 localip <WAN IP address>
But substitute your WAN IP address (as you have now assigned to
the router LAN address).
70
Finally issue the CLI commands to save the configuration:
Now restart the router (System/Save Config/Restart).
Please note, with NAT not running both the LAN side and WAN side
of the router are visible from the ISP (internet) along with your whole
network i.e. you will have no security! You are advised to configure
the built-in firewall to protect your LAN.
5.8 Enabling DHCP Server Mode
The 7x5 has an inbuilt DHCP server which you can use to assign IP
addresses and TCP setup to your client computers. To enable
DHCP server goto “Configuration /DHCP server”
The Advanced Options can also be used to change lease times and
control functions like allowing unknown clients, these should be left
at defaults unless you have specific reasons for changing them.
When you’ve finished the configuration you must save the settings
and do a router restart.
5.9 Altering the configuration user name and password
Now you should test the new user so Restart (System/Restart) and
shut your browser down…. Then allow the router about 30 seconds
to reboot before starting your browser up and going to the router
set-up screen again. Then try to enter and configuration screen.
You should be prompted to enter a username and password; try the
new one you’ve created. It should work. Only when you’ve proved
the new user and password it works should you then go and delete
the old admin user (System/Authentication/Edit user and then click
on Delete this user).
Yet again you should now save the new settings so System/Save
config…
6.1 Upgrading to a new firmware version using http
Please note that the correct file format for web based firmware
upgrade should be ‘.tar’. If the upgrade file you have is ‘.bin’ format
then this is NOT the correct format to upgrade using the web
interface. Upgrade using ‘.bin’ files can only be done using xmodem
or a bootp/tftp server utility. Assuming you have the correct firmware
file, from the web browser configuration screen go to the
System/Upgrade menu option:
78
Click on Browse to select the firmware file (please note of the file
was supplied zipped then you must first unzip the file before use).
Then Click on Upgrade and wait. Firmware upgrade should only
take a few minutes. During this period do not touch the router or
browser – leave them alone until the upgrade file is loaded.
After the flash update is complete the following screen should
display.
6.1.1 When things go wrong!
80
You should now restart.
If something goes wrong with the firmware upload which causes
only part of the firmware to install then you will need to connect to
the console port of the router via the serial port of your computer
using terminal software (e.g. Windows Hyperterminal); use serial
port settings of 9600bps, 8 data, 1 stop, no parity, none flow control
(details are given above on how to enter console mode).
If the prompt on the console screen is either ‘]’ or the word ‘DEBUG’
or ‘DSL>’ or the MAC address of the router then the firmware’s
corrupted. In which case you will have to manually reload the
firmware files. Here is the basic method for doing a manual full
firmware upload.
First of all hold down the space bar whilst rebooting the router (i.e.
power off/on). The router should reboot to the ‘]’ prompt. Now enter
the command ‘xmodem’ and then, from the Transfer/Send File
menu (assuming you are using Hyperterminal), browse and select
the bootcode.bin file from the firmware. Click on send and wait
whilst the bootcode bin file is loaded (takes about 10 minutes).
When it’s finished enter ‘quit’ and the router should then show the
mac address prompt. Now enter the command ‘flashfs rewrite
boot.bin’ to save the bootcode file followed by ‘flashfs update.
Now hold down the space bar and reboot a second time to the ‘]’
prompt. Now use xmodem to load the second, main firmware file.
Enter ‘quit’ when it’s finished and it should then show the ‘login’
prompt. Now enter ‘admin’ to login and the password ‘admin’.
At the ‘’ prompt enter the command ‘console enable’ and then the
‘DSL>’ prompt should show. Now enter the command ‘flashfs
update’ to save the firmware file to flash.
The firmware should now be fully loaded.
6.2 Using xmodem to upload the firmware files
You can use the xmodem technique to upload either the bootcode
or the main firmware files using a serial cable and terminal software
(for example Windows Hyperterminal). Please note you will need
firmware files which have the .bin extension. The .tar extension file
cannot be used; this file type is for http upgrade only (see above).
6.2.1 Loading a new bootcode bin firmware file
First of all you need to connect using a console (serial) programme
to the router. Details are given in the set-up guide but in simple
terms it’s 9600 bps, 8 data, 1 stop, no parity, no flowcontrol. Please
note these instructions assume you are using Windows
Hyperterminal. If you are using another console programme then
the same method applies though the actual terminal commands
and screen may differ slightly.
Now switch your router on whilst holding down the space-bar. This
is the sort of screen you should see.
The router should now boot to the ‘]’ prompt. It’s now ready to
accept the firmware file.
Type “xmodem fast”
82
The router has now changed it’s port speed to 38400 bps so you
now need to change your terminal set-up. To do this on
Hyperterminal select Call/Disconnect…
Now…. if you are now intending to load the main firmware bin
file (as detailed below) you should do the command
Flashfs update
This will update the flash filing system ready for the main bin file.
Don’t use the update command unless you are prepared to
immediately load the main firmware file.
As when loading a bootcode bin file, you first of all you need to
connect using a console (serial) programme to the router. Details
are given in the set-up guide but in simple terms it’s 9600 bps, 8
data, 1 stop, no parity, no flowcontrol. Please note these
instructions assume you are using Windows Hyperterminal. If you
are using another console programme then the same method
applies though the actual terminal commands and screen may differ
slightly.
Now switch your router on whilst holding the space-bar down. This
is the sort of screen you should see.
The router should now boot to the ‘]’ prompt. It’s now ready to
accept the firmware file.
Type “xmodem fast”
The router has now changed it’s port speed to 38400 bps so you
now need to change your terminal set-up. To do this on
Hyperterminal select Call/Disconnect…
