Cabling
One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all connected devic es are tur ned on. On t he front of the pr oduc t is a bank of LE Ds. V erify t hat the L A N Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If t hey are not, verify t hat y ou are usin g t he proper ca bles.
Ensure that al l other devices connect ed to the same t elephone line as your router (e. g. telepho nes, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and ensure that a ll lin e filters are c orrec tly ins tall ed an d the rig ht w ay ar ound. Miss ing lin e filt ers o r line f ilters installed the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent d is c onnections .

Chapter 3: Basic Installation
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me, etc. The product pr ov ides a very eas y and user-friendly interface fo r c onf iguratio n.
Please ch eck your P C’s net work co mponents . The T CP/IP pr otocol stac k and Eth ernet net work a dapter must be installed. If not , please refer t o y our Wind ows-relate d or other op erat ing system manuals.
There are ways to connect with the router, either through an external repeater hub to the router or directly connecting with PCs. However, to be sure PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior to connecting to the router device. You ought to configure your PCs to obtain an IP address through a DH CP serv er or a f ix ed IP a ddres s th at m ust be i n the s am e su bnet as the r oute r. The def ault IP address of the router is 192.168.0.254 an d the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any att ached PC must be in the sa me sub net, an d have a n IP addr ess in the rang e of 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problem accessing the router’s web interface it may also be advisable to
uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the
192.168.0.254 IP address of the router. Users sh ould mak e their own d ecisions o n how to bes t protec t
their net work. Please foll ow the steps below for y our PC’s net w ork environment ins t allation.

DNS
A Domain Nam e System ( DNS) contains a mapping table for do main name and IP addresses. On the Internet, every host has a uni que and user-frie ndly name (do main name) such as www.hello world.com and an IP address. An IP address is a 32-bit number in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, for example
192.168. 0.254. You c an think of an IP address as a telepho ne number fo r devices o n the Intern et, and
the DNS wi ll allow you t o f ind t he telep hone numb er f or any partic ular domain name. As an I P Address is hard to rem ember, the D N S c onverts the f riendly name into its equivale nt I P Address.
You can obtain a Domain Name System (DNS) IP address automatically if your ISP has provided it when you logon, check the Enable box.

Firewall and Access Control
Your router i ncludes a full SPI ( Stateful Packet Ins pection) firewall f or controlling Intern et access fro m your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Tr anslation. Please see t he WAN config uration s ection for more details on NAT) t he router acts as a “natural” Int ernet firewall, as all PCs on your LAN will use private IP addresses that cannot be direc t ly ac cesse d f rom the Internet.
Firewall: Prevents access from outside your network. The router provides three levels of security support:
NAT natural firewall: This masks LA N users’ IP addresses which are inv isible to out side users on the Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural firewall is on when NAT function is enabled.
When using Virtual Servers your PCs will be exposed to the degree specified in your Virtual Server settings provided the ports specified are opened in your firewall packet filter settings.
Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules to prevent
unauthoriz ed comput ers or app lic at ions access ing your local network f rom the Internet.

Intr usion De t e ction
TW-EA510 version 4 ADSL2+, WLAN 802.11g, VPN, Firewall Router
The router’s Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker attacks and intrusion attempts from the I nternet. If the IDS f unction of the fi rewal l is ena bled, in boun d packet s are filtered and b locked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks, intrusion attempts or other connections that the router determines t o be suspic ious .
Blacklist: I f the rout er det ects a possibl e att ack, the sourc e IP or dest inat ion I P addres s will be ad d ed to the Blacklis t. Any furt her attempts using this IP address will be block ed for the ti me period sp ecified as the Block Duration. The default setting for this function is false (disabled). Some attack types are denied i m me diately without using t he Blacklis t f unction, suc h as Land attack and Echo/CharGen scan.
Intrusio n Detecti o n: If enabled, IDS wil l bloc k Smurf at t ac k at t empts. Default is false. Block Durati on:
Victim Protection Block Duration: T his is the duration f or blocking Smurf attacks. Default value
is 600 seconds.
Scan Attack Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible
Scan attack. Scan attack types include X’mas scan, IMAP SYN/FIN scan and similar att empts. Default va lue is 86400 seconds.
DoS Attack Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible
Denial of Servic e (DoS) attack. Pos sible DoS atta cks this attempts to block include Ascend Ki ll and WinNuke. Default value is 1800 seconds .
Max TCP Open Handshaking Count: This is a threshold value t o decid e wheth er a SY N Flood attempt is occurring or not. Default value is 100 TCP SYN per sec onds.
Max PING Count: This is a thres hold val ue to decide whether a n ICMP Ech o Storm is oc currin g or not. Default va lue is 15 IC MP Ec ho Request s (PING) per s ec ond.
Max ICMP Count: This is a t hreshold to decid e whether an ICMP flood is occurrin g or not. Default value is 100 ICM P pac kets per seconds ex c ept ICMP Echo Requests (PING).
For SYN Flood, ICMP Echo Storm and ICMP flood, IDS will just warn the user in the Event Log. It cannot pr ot ec t against such attacks.

Virtual Server (“Port Forwarding”)
In TCP/IP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a serv er) inc oming c onnect ions sho uld b e deliver ed to. So me ports hav e nu mbers that are pre­assigned to them by the IA NA (the Inter net Assig ned Num bers Autho rity), and t hese ar e referred to as “well-kno w n ports”. Se rv ers f ollow the w ell-known port assi gnments so c lients can l oc at e t hem.
If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e. from other machines on the Internet that are outside your local network), or any application that can accept incoming c onnect ions ( e.g. Peer -to-pee r/P2P s oftw are such as insta nt mess aging a pplicat ions a nd P2P file-shari ng applications) an d are using N AT (Network Address T ranslation), t hen you will us ually nee d t o configur e your router to forward thes e incoming connect ion attempts using sp ecific ports to the PC on your net work run ning the applicatio n. You will also need to use p ort forwarding if you want to host an online game serv er.
The reaso n f or t his is t hat when us ing NA T, y our publicly accessible IP add res s will be used by and point to your router, which then needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by your PCs. Please se e t he WAN configuration sec t ion of this manual for more infor mation on NA T.
The devic e can be confi gured as a virtu al serv er so that remot e users acces sing serv ices s uch as Web or FTP services via the public ( WAN) IP address can be auto matically re directed to local s ervers in t he LAN network. Depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the device redirects the external service request to the appropriate serve r within the LA N network

Using port forwarding does have security implications, as outside users will be able to connect to PCs on your ne twor k. For t his reason y ou are advised to us e specific Virtua l Server entries just for the ports your application requires, instead of using DMZ. As doing so will result in all connections from the WAN attempt to access to your public IP of the DMZ PC specified.
If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server function will hence be invalid.
If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring
Attention
Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP ad dresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much easier by lett ing the applicat ion control the r equired settin gs, removing th e need for the use r to control advance d c onf iguratio n of t heir device.
Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition to the router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when the c omponent is installed), and Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing client from Windows XP in order to support UP nP. Windo ws 2000 does not s u pport UPnP.
