1.1 Overview
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the LTE3301.
The LTE3301 is a wireless router, which can connect to a mobile network and the Internet through a
wireless WAN connection and provide easy network access to mobile users without additional
wiring. You can set up a wireless network with other IEEE 802.11b/g/n compatible devices.
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
A range of services such as a firewall and content filtering are also available for secure Internet
computing.
1.2 Applications
Your can have the following networks with the LTE3301:
• Wired. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the LTE3301 so that they can
communicate with each other and access the Internet.
• Wireless LAN. Wireless clients can connect to the LTE3301 to access network resources. You
can use WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) to create an instant network connection with another WPScompatible device.
• Wireless WAN. Insert a 4G SIM card into the SIM card slot to connect to a mobile network for
Internet access.
LTE3301 Series User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.3 Ways to Manage the LTE3301
Use any of the following methods to manage the LTE3301.
• WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). You can use the WPS button or the WPS section of the Web
Configurator to set up a wireless network with your LTE3301.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the LTE3301 using a
(supported) web browser.
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the LTE3301
Do the following things regularly to make the LTE3301 more secure and to manage the LTE3301
more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different
types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). See Section 20.7 on page
131. Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or
even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the LTE3301 to its factory
default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally reconfigure the LTE3301. You could simply restore your last configuration.
1.5 Resetting the LTE3301
If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need
to use the RESET button at the back of the LTE3301 to reload the factory-default configuration file.
This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be
reset to “1234” (see Section 20.4 on page 127) and the IP address will be reset to “192.168.1.1”.
1.5.1 How to Use the RESET Button
1 Make sure the power LED is on.
2 Press the RESET button for one to four seconds to restart/reboot the LTE3301.
3 Press the RESET button for longer than ten seconds to set the LTE3301 back to its factory-default
configurations.
1.6 The WPS Button
Your LTE3301 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure
wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.

Strength
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to
configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both
devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its
configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device
to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two
minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set
up a secure network by themselves.
You can use the WPS button ( ) on the top panel of the LTE3301 to activate WPS in order to
quickly set up a wireless network with strong security.
1 Make sure the power LED is on (not blinking).
2 Press the WPS button for more than three seconds and release it. Press the WPS button on another
WPS-enabled device within range of the LTE3301.
Note: You must activate WPS in the LTE3301 and in another wireless device within two
minutes of each other.
For more information on using WPS, see Section 4.2 on page 30.
1.7 SIM Card Slot
The LTE3301 comes with a built-in 4G LTE module for 4G connections. To set up a 4G connection
using the built-in 4G LTE module, just insert a 4G SIM card into the SIM card slot at the back of the
LTE3301.
Note: You must insert the 4G SIM card into the card slot before turning on the LTE3301.

4.1 Overview
This chapter provides tutorials for setting up your LTE3301.
• Set Up a Wireless Network Using WPS
• Connect to LTE3301 Wireless Network without WPS
• Using Multiple SSIDs on the LTE3301
4.2 Set Up a Wireless Network Using WPS
This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses
the LTE3301 as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to a notebook.
Tutorials
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter
or PCI card).
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection via the web configurator or utility.
This tutorial shows you how to do both.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a
button. See Section 4.2.1 on page 30. This is the easier method.
• PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN
(Personal Identification Number) in the LTE3301’s interface. See Section 4.2.2 on page 31. This is
the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.
4.2.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1 Make sure that your LTE3301 is turned on. Make sure the WIFI button (at the back panel of the
LTE3301) is pushed in, and that the device is placed within range of your notebook.
2 Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the NWD210N) driver and
utility in your notebook.
3 In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (Start or
WPS button)
4 Log into LTE3301’s Web Configurator and press the Push Button in the Configuration >
Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G > WPS Station screen.

Note: Your LTE3301 has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button in its
configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use one
or the other.
Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button
within two minutes of pressing the first one.
The LTE3301 sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two
minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the LTE3301 securely.
The following figure shows you an example to set up wireless network and security by pressing a
button on both LTE3301 and wireless client (the NWD210N in this example).
Figure 18 Example WPS Process: PBC Method
4.2.2 PIN Configuration
When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both LTE3301’s configuration
interface and the client’s utilities.
1 Launch your wireless client’s configuration utility. Go to the WPS settings and select the PIN method
to get a PIN number.
2 Enter the PIN number to the PIN field in the Configuration > Network > Wireless LAN > WPS

4.3.1 Configure Your Notebook
Note: In this example, we use the ZyXEL NWD6505 wireless adapter as the wireless
client and use the Windows built-in utility (Windows Zero Configuration (WZC)) to
connect to the wireless network.
1 The LTE3301 supports IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and IEEE 802.11n wireless clients. Make sure
that your notebook or computer’s wireless adapter supports one of these standards.
2 Wireless adapters come with software sometimes called a “utility” that you install on your
computer. See your wireless adapter’s User’s Guide for information on how to do that.

8 If the wireless client keeps trying to connect to or acquiring an IP address from the LTE3301, make
sure you entered the correct security key.
If the connection has limited or no connectivity, make sure the DHCP server is enabled on the
LTE3301.
If your connection is successful, open your Internet browser and enter http://www.zyxel.com or the
URL of any other web site in the address bar. If you are able to access the web site, your wireless
connection is successfully configured.
4.4 Using Multiple SSIDs on the LTE3301
You can configure more than one SSID on a LTE3301. See Section 7.4 on page 71.
This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on the LTE3301 as if there
were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each virtual AP has its own SSID, and wireless security type. That
is, each SSID on the LTE3301 represents a different access point/wireless network to wireless
clients in the network.
Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients
using different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the LTE3301 (such as a
printer).

6.3 What You Need To Know
The information in this section can help you configure the screens for your WAN connection, as well
as enable/disable some advanced features of your LTE3301.
3G
3G (Third Generation) is a digital, packet-switched wireless technology. Bandwidth usage is
optimized as multiple users share the same channel and bandwidth is only allocated to users when
they send data. It allows fast transfer of voice and non-voice data and provides broadband Internet
access to mobile devices.
4G
4G is the fourth generation of the mobile telecommunications technology and a successor of 3G.
Both the WiMAX and Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards are the 4G candidate systems. 4G only
supports all-IP-based packet-switched telephony services and is required to offer gigabit speed
access.
DNS Server Address Assignment
Use Domain Name System (DNS) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice
versa, for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely
important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access
it.
The LTE3301 can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.
1 The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you
sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, manually enter them in the DNS server fields.
2 If your ISP dynamically assigns the DNS server IP addresses (along with the LTE3301’s WAN IP
address), set the DNS server fields to get the DNS server address from the ISP.

Chapter 6 WAN
Multicast
Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient)
or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of
hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1.
Figure 27 Multicast Example
In the multicast example above, systems A and D comprise one multicast group. In multicasting,
the server only needs to send one data stream and this is delivered to systems A and D.
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership
in a multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. The LTE3301 supports both IGMP version 1
(IGMP v1), IGMP version 2 (IGMP v2) and IGMP version 3 (IGMP v3).
At start up, the LTE3301 queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After
that, the LTE3301 periodically updates this information. IP multicasting can be enabled/disabled on
the LTE3301 WAN interface in the Web Configurator.
IPv6 Introduction
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to enhance IP address size and features. The
increase in IPv6 address size to 128 bits (from the 32-bit IPv4 address) allows up to 3.4 x 10
addresses. The LTE3301 can use IPv4/IPv6 dual stack to connect to IPv4 and IPv6 networks, and
supports IPv6 rapid deployment (6RD).
38
IP
IPv6 Addressing
The 128-bit IPv6 address is written as eight 16-bit hexadecimal blocks separated by colons (:). This
is an example IPv6 address 2001:0db8:1a2b:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:0000.
IPv6 addresses can be abbreviated in two ways:
• Leading zeros in a block can be omitted. So 2001:0db8:1a2b:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:0000 can
be written as 2001:db8:1a2b:15:0:0:1a2f:0.
• Any number of consecutive blocks of zeros can be replaced by a double colon. A double colon can
only appear once in an IPv6 address. So 2001:0db8:0000:0000:1a2f:0000:0000:0015 can be
written as 2001:0db8::1a2f:0000:0000:0015, 2001:0db8:0000:0000:1a2f::0015,
2001:db8::1a2f:0:0:15 or 2001:db8:0:0:1a2f::15.

IPv6 Prefix and Prefix Length
Similar to an IPv4 subnet mask, IPv6 uses an address prefix to represent the network address. An
IPv6 prefix length specifies how many most significant bits (start from the left) in the address
compose the network address. The prefix length is written as “/x” where x is a number. For
example,
2001:db8:1a2b:15::1a2f:0/32
means that the first 32 bits (2001:db8) is the subnet prefix.
IPv6 Subnet Masking
Both an IPv6 address and IPv6 subnet mask compose of 128-bit binary digits, which are divided
into eight 16-bit blocks and written in hexadecimal notation. Hexadecimal uses four bits for each
character (1 ~ 10, A ~ F). Each block’s 16 bits are then represented by four hexadecimal
characters. For example, FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FC00:0000:0000:0000.
IPv6 Rapid Deployment
Use IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd) when the local network uses IPv6 and the ISP has an IPv4
network. When the LTE3301 has an IPv4 WAN address, you can enable 6rd to encapsulate IPv6
packets in IPv4 packets to cross the ISP’s IPv4 network.
The LTE3301 generates a global IPv6 prefix from its IPv4 WAN address and tunnels IPv6 traffic to
the ISP’s Border Relay router (BR in the figure) to connect to the native IPv6 Internet. The local
network can also use IPv4 services. The LTE3301 uses it’s configured IPv4 WAN IP to route IPv4
traffic to the IPv4 Internet.

7.1 Overview
This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your LTE3301.
See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks.
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.
Figure 33 Example of a Wireless Network
CHAPTER 7
Wireless LAN
The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are
called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices
(such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your LTE3301 is the AP.
LTE3301 Series User’s Guide
61
7.1.1 What You Can Do
•Use the General screen to turn the wireless connection on or off, set up wireless security
between the LTE3301 and the wireless clients, and make other basic configuration changes
(Section 7.2 on page 64).
•Use the More AP screen to set up multiple wireless networks on your LTE3301 (Section 7.4 on
page 71).
•Use the MAC Filter screen to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from
connecting to the LTE3301 (Section 7.5 on page 73).
•Use the Advanced screen to allow intra-BSS networking and set the RTS/CTS Threshold (Section
7.6 on page 75).
•Use the QoS screen to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) in your wireless network (Section 7.7 on
page 76).
•Use the WPS screen to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to
configure security settings manually (Section 7.8 on page 76).
•Use the WPS Station screen to add a wireless station using WPS (Section 7.9 on page 78).
•Use the Scheduling screen to set the times your wireless LAN is turned on and off (Section 7.10
on page 78).
•Use the WDS screen to configure the LTE3301’s WDS settings (Section 7.11 on page 79).
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN
7.1.2 What You Should Know
Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.
• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.
The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.
• If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels.
Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or
frequency, to send and receive information.
• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.
Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the
information that is sent in the wireless network.
Wireless Security Overview
The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless
network.
SSID
Normally, the AP acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the
SSID instead, in which case the AP does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you should change
the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess.
This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized devices to
get the SSID. In addition, unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the
wireless network.
LTE3301 Series User’s Guide
62
MAC Address Filter
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN
Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC address is
usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters
00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate User’s
Guide or other documentation.
You can use the MAC address filter to tell the AP which wireless clients are allowed or not allowed to
use the wireless network. If a wireless client is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to
have the correct settings (SSID, channel, and security). If a wireless client is not allowed to use the
wireless network, it does not matter if it has the correct settings.
This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network.
Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the MAC address of an authorized
wireless client. Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network.
2
; for example, 00A0C5000002 or
User Authentication
You can make every user log in to the wireless network before they can use it. This is called user
authentication. However, every wireless client in the wireless network has to support IEEE 802.1x
to do this.
For wireless networks, there are two typical places to store the user names and passwords for each
user.
• In the AP: this feature is called a local user database or a local database.
• In a RADIUS server: this is a server used in businesses more than in homes.
If your AP does not provide a local user database and if you do not have a RADIUS server, you
cannot set up user names and passwords for your users.
Unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network, even if they
cannot use the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized wireless users to
get a valid user name and password. Then, they can use that user name and password to use the
wireless network.
Local user databases also have an additional limitation that is explained in the next section.
Encryption
Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless
network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot
understand the message.
1. Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless networks. These kinds
of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses.
2. Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F.
LTE3301 Series User’s Guide
63
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN
The types of encryption you can choose depend on the type of user authentication. (See page 63
for information about this.)
Table 17 Types of Encryption for Each Type of Authentication
NO AUTHENTICATION RADIUS SERVER
Weakest No Security WPA
Static WEP
WPA-PSK
Strongest WPA2-PSK WPA2
For example, if the wireless network has a RADIUS server, you can choose WPA or WPA2. If users
do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no encryption, Static WEP, WPA-PSK, or
WPA2-PSK.
Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless
network supports. For example, suppose the AP does not have a local user database, and you do
not have a RADIUS server. Therefore, there is no user authentication. Suppose the wireless network
has two wireless clients. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA.
Therefore, you should set up Static WEP in the wireless network.
Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, WPA, or stronger
encryption. IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it is
still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty
quickly.
Note: It is not possible to use WPA-PSK, WPA or stronger encryption with a local user
database. In this case, it is better to set up stronger encryption with no
authentication than to set up weaker encryption with the local user database.
When you select WPA2 or WPA2-PSK in your LTE3301, you can also select an option (WPA/WPA-
PSK Compatible) to support WPA/WPA-PSK as well. In this case, if some wireless clients support
WPA and some support WPA2, you should set up WPA2-PSK or WPA2 (depending on the type of
wireless network login) and select the WPA/WPA-PSK Compatible option in the LTE3301.
Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer
the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the
same key.
WPS
WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance. WPS
allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure
security settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a
button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification
Number) in the devices. Then, they connect and set up a secure network by themselves. See how
to set up a secure wireless network using WPS in the Section 4.2 on page 30.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Channel Width Select the wireless channel width used by LTE3301.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 144Mbps (2.4GHz) whereas a
40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300Mbps
(2.4GHz).
Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select Auto 20/40MHz to allow the
LTE3301 to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.
40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase
throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20
MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.
Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.
802.11 Mode You can select from the following:
• 802.11b: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the LTE3301. In this mode, all wireless devices can only transmit at the
data rates supported by IEEE 802.11b.
• 802.11g: allows IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the Device.
IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices can associate with the LTE3301 only when they
use the short preamble type.
• 802.11bg: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the LTE3301. The LTE3301 adjusts the transmission rate automatically
according to the wireless standard supported by the wireless devices.
• 802.11n: allows IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
LTE3301. This can increase transmission rates, although IEEE 802.11b or IEEE
802.11g clients will not be able to connect to the LTE3301.
• 802.11gn: allows either IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the LTE3301. The transmission rate of your LTE3301 might be reduced.
• 802.11bgn: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the LTE3301. The transmission rate of your LTE3301 might
be reduced.

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access points
to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications in a
network. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key.
Your LTE3301 allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys but only one key can be
enabled at any one time.

9.1 Overview
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to
obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the LTE3301’s LAN as a
DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the LTE3301 provides the TCP/IP
configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on
your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.
9.1.1 What You Can Do
•Use the General screen to enable the DHCP server (Section 9.2 on page 83).
•Use the Advanced screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers
based on their MAC Addresses (Section 9.3 on page 85).
•Use the Client List screen to view the current DHCP client information (Section 9.4 on page 87).

NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in
a packet. For example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network is
changed to a different IP address known within another network.
The figure below is a simple illustration of a NAT network. You want to assign ports 21-25 to one
FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (A in the example), port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign
a default server IP address of 192.168.1.35 to a third (C in the example).
You assign the LAN IP addresses to the devices (A to D) connected to your LTE3301. The ISP
assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet. All traffic
coming from A to D going out to the Internet use the IP address of the LTE3301, which is
192.168.1.1.

and the local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example,
web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or
where one server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it
might be better to specify a range of port numbers.

Chapter 10 NAT
In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A service request
that does not have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the
default is not defined, the service request is simply discarded.
Note: Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server
processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may
periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any
active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP.
Port forwarding allows you to define the local servers to which the incoming services will be
forwarded. To change your LTE3301’s port forwarding settings, click Network > NAT > Port
Forwarding. The screen appears as shown.
Note: If you do not assign a Default Server, the LTE3301 discards all packets received
for ports that are not specified in this screen or remote management.

10.6 Technical Reference
The following section contains additional technical information about the LTE3301 features
described in this chapter.
10.6.1 NATPort Forwarding: Services and Port Numbers
A port forwarding set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP,
that you can make accessible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside
network appear as a single machine to the outside world.
Use the Port Forwarding screen to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your
local network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and
the local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web
service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one
server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be
better to specify a range of port numbers.
In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A service request
that does not have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the
default is not defined, the service request is simply discarded.
Note: Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server
processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may
periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any
active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP.

10.6.2 NAT Port Forwarding Example
Let's say you want to assign ports 21-25 to one FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (A in the example),
port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign a default server IP address of 192.168.1.35 to a
third (C in the example). You assign the LAN IP addresses and the ISP assigns the WAN IP address.
The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet.
Figure 60 Multiple Servers Behind NAT Example
10.6.3 Trigger Port Forwarding
Some services use a dedicated range of ports on the client side and a dedicated range of ports on
the server side. With regular port forwarding you set a forwarding port in NAT to forward a service
(coming in from the server on the WAN) to the IP address of a computer on the client side (LAN).
The problem is that port forwarding only forwards a service to a single LAN IP address. In order to
use the same service on a different LAN computer, you have to manually replace the LAN
computer's IP address in the forwarding port with another LAN computer's IP address.
Trigger port forwarding solves this problem by allowing computers on the LAN to dynamically take
turns using the service. The LTE3301 records the IP address of a LAN computer that sends traffic to
the WAN to request a service with a specific port number and protocol (a "trigger" port). When the
LTE3301's WAN port receives a response with a specific port number and protocol ("incoming"
port), the LTE3301 forwards the traffic to the LAN IP address of the computer that sent the request.
After that computer’s connection for that service closes, another computer on the LAN can use the
service in the same manner. This way you do not need to configure a new IP address each time you
want a different LAN computer to use the application.
10.6.4 Trigger Port Forwarding Example
The following is an example of trigger port forwarding.

Jane’s computer
Real Audio Server
Port 7070
Figure 61 Trigger Port Forwarding Process: Example
1 Jane requests a file from the Real Audio server (port 7070).
2 Port 7070 is a “trigger” port and causes the LTE3301 to record Jane’s computer IP address. The
LTE3301 associates Jane's computer IP address with the "incoming" port range of 6970-7170.
3 The Real Audio server responds using a port number ranging between 6970-7170.
4 The LTE3301 forwards the traffic to Jane’s computer IP address.
5 Only Jane can connect to the Real Audio server until the connection is closed or times out. The
LTE3301 times out in three minutes with UDP (User Datagram Protocol), or two hours with TCP/IP
(Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).
10.6.5 Two Points To Remember About Trigger Ports
1 Trigger events only happen on data that is coming from inside the LTE3301 and going to the
outside.
2 If an application needs a continuous data stream, that port (range) will be tied up so that another
computer on the LAN can’t trigger it.

LAN
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes for your LTE3301.
The LTE3301 usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from computers on the LAN
to the Internet. To have the LTE3301 send data to devices not reachable through the default
gateway, use static routes.
For example, the next figure shows a computer (A) connected to the LTE3301’s LAN interface. The
LTE3301 routes most traffic from A to the Internet through the LTE3301’s default gateway (R1).
You create one static route to connect to services offered by your ISP behind router R2. You create
another static route to communicate with a separate network behind a router R3 connected to the
LAN.
