1.1 Basic Concepts

The Verizon 4G LTE Network

4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the latest standard for mobile Internet access and offers superior connection speeds compared to 3G, the predecessor.

The HomeFusion Broadband Router only supports 4G LTE to access the Internet. It is not possible to fall back to 3G in the event of a temporary service interruption of the 4G LTE network.

Your Home Network

4G LTE Network

MoCA connection

Wired Ethernet connection

WiFi connection

HBA

HBR

Your Home Networ

Your home network consists of the following components:

 One HomeFusion Broadband Antenna (HBA)

 One HomeFusion Broadband Router (HBR)

 One or more network devices (computers, network printers and so on)

MoCA is a standard for home networking over a coax connection.

The HBA

The HBA is mounted on the side of the house and is the interface between the Verizon 4G LTE Network and your MoCA devices.

The HBR

The HomeFusion Broadband Router is located in your home and is responsible for interconnecting:

 WiFi devices (for example: portable computers, wireless printers, smartphones

with WiFi support and so on)

 Wired Ethernet devices (for example: computers).

 MoCA devices (for example: the HBA)

This means that all devices that are connected to the HBR will also have access to the HBA, which in turn provides access to the Verizon 4G LTE Network.

4.3.1 Securing Your Wireless Connection

Encryption types

The HBR supports the following encryption types:

 WEP:

The least safe encryption type used for wireless connections. WEP has been proven to have security issues. Only use this encryption if your wireless device does not support WPA2 or WPA.

 WPA - TKIP

The first version of WPA. Only choose this option if none of your wireless clients support WPA2.

 WPA+WPA2:

This is a mixed mode. In this mode, WPA2 is the preferred encryption type but wireless clients that do not support WPA2 can still use WPA as encryption type. Choose this option if not all of your wireless clients support WPA2 or if you are not sure. Wireless clients that support WPA2 will use WPA2. The others will use WPA.

 WPA2 (default and recommended encryption):

The most recent and most secure version of WPA. Choose this version if you are sure that all your wireless clients support WPA2.

 None

If you want to configure WPA2 on the built-in wireless utility of Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), you first have to:

 Upgrade your Windows XP to Service Pack 3.

- or -

 Install the following update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917021.

Although the HBR allows you to use WEP or no security, we strongly advise against this! We recommend that you use WPA2.

Changing the encryption type

1 On the Wireless Settings menu, click Advanced Security Settings.

4.3.2 SSID Broadcast

SSID

To be able to distinguish one wireless network from another, each wireless network has its own network name, often referred to as Service Set IDentifier (SSID). All your wireless devices on your network must use this network name (and the correct encryption).

Broadcast

By default, the HBR broadcasts its wireless SSID. Wireless clients can then detect the presence of your network and inform the users that this network is available.

Enabling SSID broadcast does not mean that everyone can connect to your network. They still need the correct wireless key to connect to the HBR network. It only informs them that your network is present.

Disabling SSID Broadcast

Proceed as follows:

1 On the Wireless Settings menu, click Advanced Security Settings.

2 Under Level 2, click SSID Broadcast.

3 The SSID Broadcast page appears:

Click:

 Enable to allow wireless clients to see your wireless network.

4.3.3 Wireless MAC Authentication

MAC Address

A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique hexadecimal code that identifies a device on a network. Each network device has such a MAC address.

MAC Authentication

When using MAC authentication, you allow or deny devices to access to your network based on their MAC address.

Warning: MAC authentication alone is not enough!

Wireless MAC Authentication only offers a limited level of security. Hackers can easily detect a trusted MAC address and clone this trusted MAC address to their own computer, which will enable them to pass the MAC authentication filter. That’s why it is important that you first secure your wireless connection (preferably with a WPA2 encryption key). This way hackers won’t be able to interpret your wireless traffic.

Enabling MAC Authentication

Proceed as follows:

1 On the Wireless Settings menu, click Advanced Security Settings.

2 Under Level 3, click Wireless MAC Authentication.

3 Select Enable Access List.

4 Select:

 Accept all devices listed below if you want to block all devices by default.

 Deny all devices listed below if you want to allow all devices by default.

5 Now you can add exceptions to the default rule: enter the MAC addresses of the

device in the Client MAC Address box and click Add. Repeat this step for each device.

If you choose Accept all devices listed below and you are currently connected using a wireless connection, make sure to add the MAC address of your wireless client. If you do not do so, you will be disconnected from the wireless network.

6.1 General

Introduction

The firewall controls the flow of data between the local network and the Internet. Both incoming and outgoing data are inspected and then either accepted (allowed) or rejected (barred) from passing through the HBR according to a set of rules. The rules are calculated to stop unwanted intrusions from the outside, while allowing local network users access to required Internet services.

Security levels

The HBR features three pre-defined firewall security levels:

Security Level Internet Requests

(Incoming Traffic)

Maximum Security (High)

Typical Security (Medium)

Minimum Security (Low)

Blocked: No access to local network from Internet, except as configured in the Port Forwarding, DMZ host, and Remote Access screens.

Unrestricted: Permits full access from Internet to local network; all connection attempts permitted.

Configuring the firewall settings

Proceed as follows:

1 On the top menu, click Firewall Setting.

2 The HBR prompts you to confirm your choice. Click Ye s .

Local network requests (Outgoing Traffic)

Limited:

Only commonly used services, such as web browsing and e-mail, are permitted. These services include Telnet, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, IMAP, POP3 and SMTP.

6.3 Port Forwarding

Introduction

In its default state, the HBR blocks all external users from connecting to, or communicating with the network, making it safe from hackers who may try to intrude on the network and damage it.

However, the network can be exposed to the Internet in certain limited and controlled ways to enable some applications to work from the local network (game, voice, and chat applications, for example) and to enable Internet access to servers in the network. Port forwarding (sometimes referred to as local servers) supports both of these functions.

To grant Internet users access to servers inside the local network, each service provided, as well as the computer providing it, must be identified.

Accessing the Port Forwarding page

Proceed as follows:

1 On the top menu, click Firewall Settings.

2 The HBR prompts you to confirm your choice. Click Ye s .

6.4 DMZ Host

Introduction

The DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) host feature allows one device on the network to operate outside the firewall. To designate a DMZ host:

 To use an Internet service, such as an online game or video-conferencing

program, not present in the Port Forwarding list and for which no port range information is available.

 To expose one computer to all services without restriction or security.

Only one network computer can be a DMZ host at any time.

WARNING!

A DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and may be vulnerable to attack. Designating a DMZ host may also put other computers in the local network at risk. When designating a DMZ host, consider the security implications and protect it if necessary.

Assigning a DMZ Host

Proceed as follows:

1 On the top menu, click Firewall Settings.

2 The HBR prompts you to confirm your choice. Click Ye s .

6.5 Port Triggering

Introduction

Port triggering can be used for dynamic port forwarding configuration. By setting port triggering rules, inbound traffic is allowed to arrive at a specific network host using ports different than those used for the outbound traffic. The outbound traffic triggers which ports inbound traffic is directed to.

Example

Scenario

1 A local user accesses a remote gaming server using UDP protocol on port 2222.

2 The gaming server responds by connecting the user using UDP on port 3333

when starting gaming sessions.

Problem

 The firewall blocks inbound traffic by default. So the incoming message from the

game server (UDP:3333) will be blocked.

 If it would pass the firewall, the message will be addressed to the public IP

address of the HBR. Since the HBR did not have any previous UDP messages on port 3333, it will not know to which device it should forward the message.

Solution

To solve this problem, we use port triggering. This means that if the HBR detects traffic on the trigger port (in our case UDP:2222) it will automatically open a specific port (in our example: UDP:3333).

The HBR will also know that if it receives a UDP message on port 3333 it should be forwarded to the same device that sent a request via UDP port 2222.

Accessing the Port Triggering page

Proceed as follows:

1 On the top menu, click Firewall Settings.

2 The HBR prompts you to confirm your choice. Click Ye s .

3 On the left menu, click Port Triggering.

 Outgoing Trigger Ports

Enter the port number(s) that the local host will be using to contact the remote host. When the HBR detects outbound traffic on this port, the HBR will open the ports specified in your rule.

 Incoming Ports to open

These ports will be opened when the rule is triggered. Incoming traffic arriving at this port will we forwarded to the host that triggered the rule.

3 The port triggering rule is now created.

6.6 Remote Aministration

WARNING

Enabling Remote Administration puts your local network at risk from outside attacks.

Introduction

On the Remote Administration page, you can enable/disable:

 Incoming WAN Access to the Telnet Server.

 Incoming WAN Access to Web-Management.

 Diagnostic Tools.

Telnet

Telnet is used to create a command-line session and gain access to all system settings and parameters using a text-based terminal.

Web Management

Web Management is used to obtain access to the HBR GUI and gain access to all settings and parameters, using a web browser. Both secure (HTTPS) and non-secure (HTTP) access is available.

Telnet and Web Management remote administration access may be used to modify or disable firewall settings. Local IP addresses and other settings can also be changed, making it difficult or impossible to access the HBR from the local network. Therefore, remote administration access to Telnet or Web Management services should be activated only when absolutely necessary.

Diagnostic Tools

Diagnostic Tools are used for troubleshooting and remote system management by a user or the ISP.

Encrypted remote administration is performed using a secure SSL connection, and requires an SSL certificate. When accessing the HBR for the first time using encrypted remote administration, a warning appears regarding certificate authentication because the HBR’s SSL certificate is selfgenerated. When encountering this message under these circumstances, ignore it and continue. Even though this message appears, the self-generated certificate is safe and provides a secure SSL connection.

8.1.9 DNS Server

Introduction

The Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names into IP addresses and vice versa. The HBA’s DNS server is an auto-learning DNS, which means that when a new computer is connected to the network, the DNS server learns its name and automatically adds it to the DNS table. Other network users can immediately communicate with this computer using either its name or its IP address.

Services offered

The following services are provided by the DNS server of the HBA:

 Shares a common database of domain names and IP addresses with the DHCP

server.

 Supports multiple subnets within the local network simultaneously.

 Automatically appends a domain name to unqualified names.

 Allows new domain names to be added to the database using the HBA’s GUI.

 Permits a computer to have multiple host names.

 Permits a host name to have multiple IPs (needed if a host has multiple network

cards).

Configuration

The DNS Server does not require configuration. However, the list of computers known by the DNS can be viewed or a new computer can be added to the list.

Viewing DNS Table

Proceed as follows:

1 On the top menu, click Advanced.

2 The Advanced page appears. Click HBA Advanced Settings on the bottom of
