2.5 Setting Up the 3G Fall-Back WAN Connection
Introduction
Many SOHO (Small Offices, Home Offices) and SME (Small/Medium Enterprises) businesses choose DSL as their access technology for a Wide Area Network (WAN) connection because this is typically cheaper than using leased lines. A dropout of a DSL line can however have expensive consequences due to inaccessibility of the Internet and E-mail. Therefore backup solutions are available that provide an alternative path when the DSL line is down.
For example it is possible to switch to 2G / 3G mobile access technologies such as GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, WIMAX and LTE when internet connectivity is not available via the main WAN connection. By plugging a mobile USB adapter into one of the USB ports of your MediaAccess Gateway, IP connectivity via a 2G / 3G network becomes possible.
3G is an umbrella-term to indicate the third generation mobile telephony technology. The services associated with 3G provide the ability to transfer both voice data and non-voice data. 3G networks are the successors of the 2G networks, such as the GSM networks and provide new services and higher data transfer speeds.
What do I need?
To start using 2G / 3G as a connection on the MediaAccess Gateway, you need:
A mobile USB adapter
A registered Security Identity Module (SIM) card.
Configure 2G / 3G as WAN connection
Proceed as follows:
1 Create a mobile interface for your MediaAccess Gateway.
For more information, see “2.5.1 Setting up a Mobile Interface” on page 24.
2 Configure the newly created mobile interface as your backup connection.
For more information, see “2.5.2 Configuring a Backup Mobile Connection” on page 26.
3 Insert your mobile USB adapter.
For more information, see “2.5.4 Inserting a Mobile USB Adapter” on page 29.
4 Now your mobile connection is up and ready to use.
Result
MediaAccess Gateway will automatically enable your 3G backup connection when both of the following conditions are met:
The main Internet connection has been unavailable for at least 60 seconds.
The MediaAccess Gateway received a request to access the Internet (for example, when browsing to an Internet web
site).
Only use the mobile USB adapters provided by your service provider.
Remember to always assign a higher DNS and (default) route metric compared to the existing metrics used for traffic going over the main WAN interface (DSL/ Ethernet / Fiber To The Home (FTTH)). This way the main WAN connection is always preferred above the mobile connection when up.
If you need to remove your mobile USB adapter, make sure the MediaAccess Gateway is powered off first.
23
2 MANUAL INSTALLATION
DMS-CTC-20111123-0002 v1.0
The MediaAccess Gateway will automatically disable the 3G connection in either of the following cases:
The main Internet connection is available again. In this case the MediaAccess Gateway switches back to the main Internet
connection.
No Internet traffic has been detected during the last 10 seconds. For example, you finished surfing the Internet.

2.5.2 Configuring a Backup Mobile Connection
Dial-On-Demand
By enabling the Dial-on-Demand (DoD) function when setting up the PPP interface, the new 2G / 3G connection will function as a backup connection:
The “doddelay” (DoD delay) timer is the amount of time the MediaAccess Gateway waits before triggering the mobile
connection.
After injecting the mobile connection interfaces in the routing table, you will also notice a trigger interface (for default
routes) appearing (with according metric) in the routing table. When the main WAN interface goes down and the mobile connection establishes, this trigger interface will disappear.
As long the main WAN connection is down, traffic will go over the mobile connection (routes with the higher metrics).
When the main WAN connection comes up again, DoD will injecting the DNS and routes with lower metric of the main WAN connection in the routing table. According to the routing principles this will cause traffic to go over the main WAN connection again.
The “Idletime” timer is the amount of time the MediaAccess Gateway waits before removing the DNS and routes of the
mobile connection once no more traffic is detected on this connection. During this time-out, two identical routes will exist in the routing table, yet with different metrics. The lowest metric will be used according to routing principles.
Procedure
To configure the backup connection, complete the following steps:
Step 1: To set up a PPP interface
Step 2: Enable NAT address translation for the new PPP interface
Step 3: Save your changes!
Step 1: To set up a PPP interface
Proceed as follows:
1 To add a PPP interface, execute the following command:
2 Configure this PPP interface with a higher metric than the main WAN connection and enable the DoD function. The
user name and password are used for CHAP / PAP authentication for a specific APN:
3 Configure the route to add to the routing table when this interface comes up:
After starting up your MediaAccess Gateway, it might take some time until the main WAN connection comes up. If this parameter is put to 0 an immediate parallel 2G / 3G connection will start up and disconnect immediately when the main WAN connection has come up.
If this parameter is set to 0 and there is very few traffic over the 3G connection, each time new traffic is detected on the 3G connection, the MediaAccess Gateway will attempt to switch back to its prioritized main WAN connection.
:ppp ifadd intf=3G-Backup
:ppp ifconfig intf=3G-Backup dest=mobile_usb user=dummy password=dummy demanddial=enabled idletime=60 doddelay=30 dnsmetric=20
:ppp rtadd intf=3G-Backup dst=0.0.0.0 metric=30
Your PPP interface can only be configured if it is detached.

Code of Conduct provides rules for the power consumption in:
Full power state:
This is the normal operation mode of the device, where all functionality is enabled.
Low power state:
When there is no user traffic on the device, the device should switch to low power mode. This is a state in which devices are only allowed to use a limited amount of energy to be able to power its components and respond to user activity.
Example
Take the following example:
The user switches off his computer at 20:00.
There are no other devices connected to the MediaAccess Gateway.
The MediaAccess Gateway switches to low power mode. This results in a considerable drop in the overall power consumption of the MediaAccess Gateway.

4.2 ECO Manager
Introduction
The MediaAccess Gateway constantly monitors the user activity and uses this information to optimise the power consumption:
For example:
The MediaAccess Gateway reduces the clock frequency of the central processor when there is no or low user activity.
This lowered clock frequency will result in a lower power consumption of the MediaAccess Gateway.
Disable the USB port(s) when they are not used
Switch the wireless interface to power reduction mode.
Wireless access point power reduction mode
When the MediaAccess Gateway access point switches to power reduction mode, the access point is switched off and is only power on periodically to be able to detect new clients. If new clients are detected the wireless access point is fully powered again. This is only possible if there are no devices connected to the MediaAccess Gateway.
Power reduction is enabled by default, but it is possible to disable it via the MediaAccess Gateway GUI. To configure power reduction:
1 Browse to the MediaAccess Gateway GUI.

5.2 The UPnP AV Media Server
Introduction
Your MediaAccess Gateway has a built-in DLNA-certified UPnP AV media server. This section describes how to use and configure this media server.
UPnP AV
UPnP AV (AV stands for Audio and Video) is a protocol especially designed to share media files on your local network.
DLNA-certified
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is an organisation that imposes requirements to ensure the interoperatability of your media devices and standardize the communication between them.
Buying a DLNA-certified device like the MediaAccess Gateway guarantees you that it will seamlessly integrate with your other DLNA-certified devices.
To allow you to access your media in a quick and easy way, the MediaAccess Gateway scans your storage device for meta data information (for example, title, artist, album) and stores it in a database. When you are looking for a file, the MediaAccess Gateway can simply query the database instead of having to go through all the files.
UPnP AV network components
A UPnP AV network consists of the following components:
The UPnP AV server is directly connected to your media files and makes them available on the network. In your network
the MediaAccess Gateway will fulfil this role.
The UPnP AV client is a software application or hardware device that allows you to play or view the media files provided
by your UPnP AV media server.
This database will only be created if the following conditions are met:
Your disk or partition must have at least 250MB of free space
Your disk or partition must not be read-only.

7.2 Assigning a service (HTTP, FTP,...) to a Computer
Introduction
The MediaAccess Gateway allows you to use one Internet connection for multiple computers. This means that all your computers share one public IP address, as if only one computer were connected to the outside world.
Issue
When the MediaAccess Gateway receives an incoming message, the MediaAccess Gateway has to decide to which computer it has to send this message.
If the incoming message is a response to an outgoing message originating from one of your computers, the MediaAccess Gateway sends the incoming message to this computer.
If your are running a server or an application that acts as a server (for example a HTTP server, Internet game), the initial message will come from the Internet and the MediaAccess Gateway has no information to decide to which computer it should forward the incoming message.
Solution
To avoid this problem you can do either of the following:
Enable UPnP.
Assign a game or application to a local networking device.
UPnP
UPnP is a technology that enables seamless operation of a wide range of games and messaging applications. Your computer will use UPnP to communicate to the MediaAccess Gateway which services are running on the computer.
For example, when you start a UPnP-enabled application on your computer, it will automatically create the necessary port mappings on this computer and on the MediaAccess Gateway.
For more information on UPnP, see “7.1 UPnP” on page 78.

Assign a game or application to a local networking device
If you assign a game or application to a local networking device, you will basically tell the MediaAccess Gateway that if it receives requests for a specific game or application, it has to forward these messages to a specific computer.
Proceed as follows to do so:
1 Browse to the MediaAccess Gateway GUI.
For more information, see “Accessing the MediaAccess Gateway GUI” on page 33.
2 On the Toolbox menu, click Game & Application Sharing.
3 In the Pick a task list, click Assign a game or application to a local network device.
4 In the Game or application list, click the service you want to run on the computer. For example, HTTP Server (World
Wide Web).
5 In the Device list, select the computer to which you want to assign the service. Your computer will be listed with its
computer name.
6 All incoming requests for the selected service will now be directed to the selected device. The MediaAccess Gateway will
also configure its firewall to allow this service.
If the service is not available in the list, click Create a new game or application in the Pick a task list. For more information, click Help on the MediaAccess Gateway GUI.

8.1 IPSec and VPN
What Is a VPN?
A VPN or Virtual Private Network is a private communications network set up over a publicly accessible network. A VPN creates a kind of tunnel through which information is transported between a computer and the network to which it is connected.
What Is IPSec?
IP Security (IPSec) is a way of securing communication over IP. IPSec is used to create a VPN. It allows you to connect your local computer to the remote network in a safe way as it provides:
Reliable user authentication.
Reliable tunnel encryption able to cope with existing network and firewall settings.
IPSec and VPN on your MediaAccess Gateway
Your MediaAccess Gateway has integrate has an integrated IPSec/VPN client and server allowing you to setup the following scenarios configure the most common VPN scenarios, for example:
LAN-to-LAN connection
VPN Client configuration
VPN Server configuration
LAN-to-LAN
The MediaAccess Gateway allows you to connect LAN networks that are located on different sites via a secure VPN tunnel over the public Internet. At each peer the MediaAccess Gateway acts as an IPSec security gateway.
VPN Client
The VPN client in the MediaAccess Gateway can replace a software VPN client installed on a computer. You can use it for example to connect from your home to the corporate network for teleworking.
Using the VPN client in the MediaAccess Gateway has several advantages over the use of VPN client software installed on the computer of the end user:
The administrator of the corporate network does not have to worry about upgrades of the operating system on the
teleworker’s computer.
Since the VPN client is fully integrated in the MediaAccess Gateway, it can not be tampered with, and is probably more
secure than software residing on a computer.
Adverse interactions with computer software, such as firewalls, PPPoE clients, wireless drivers, viruses and worms are
avoided. This guarantees a better stability and fewer functionality problems.
VPN Server
The MediaAccess Gateway can establish a secure connection with any remote gateway that meets the VPN settings, regardless its location in the public network. The use of the Extended Authentication protocol can optionally be configured. In this case, a list of authorized users is composed and stored on the MediaAccess Gateway.
More information
In-depth information about the different scenarios and configuration can be found in the MediaAccess Gateway IPSec documentation available at www.technicolor.com

8.2 Web Site Filtering
Introduction
The MediaAccess Gateway allows you to deny access to specific web sites.
Access Denied page
When a user tries to access a page that is being blocked, the following page is displayed:
Address-based filtering
With address-based filtering (or URL-filtering) you can block web sites based on their address (for example www.porn.com).
Content-based filtering
As you know, the Internet consists of a large number of web sites, and that number still increases every day. This makes it almost impossible to keep the list of addresses up-to-date.
To solve this problem MediaAccess Gateway introduced content-based filtering.
With content-based filtering you can block web sites based on their content category (for example pornography) instead of their URL. This way, you only need to select the appropriate categories and the content category server takes care of the rest. This content category server is updated at regular intervals.
Combining the two filters
Address-based filtering has priority over content-based filtering. This means that when you are blocking a specific category, you can still access a specific address provided you create a rule to allow access to that URL.
For example, if you are blocking content from the Finance / Investment category, you can create a rule to make an exception for netbanking.mybank.com.
Activating content-based filtering
Before you can use content-based filtering you must first activate it by purchasing a license key at your service provider or by activating the 30-day trial.
Proceed as follows:
1 Browse to the MediaAccess Gateway GUI.
For more information, see “Accessing the MediaAccess Gateway GUI” on page 33.
2 On the Toolbox menu, click Web Site Filtering.
3 In the Pick a task list, click Activate Web Filtering License.
4 The Web Filte ri ng Activation page appears. Under License Type, select:
30-days evaluation if you first want evaluate this feature.
Standard if you have already purchased a license key. The License key box appears as soon as you select this option.
Type the license key that you received from your service provider in this box.
