1.2 Ways to Manage the P-2812HNU-51c
Use any of the following methods to manage the P-2812HNU-51c.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the P2812HNU-51c using a (supported) web browser.
• SNMP. The device can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See the SNMP
chapter in this User’s Guide.
• TR-069. This is an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your
device.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the P-2812HNU51c
Do the following things regularly to make the P-2812HNU-51c more secure and to
manage the P-2812HNU-51c 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).
Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes
unstable or even crashes. If you forget y our password, you will hav e to reset the
P-2812HNU-51c to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the P-2812HNU51c. You could simply restore your last configuration.
1.4 Applications for the P-2812HNU-51c
Here are some example uses for which the P-2812HNU-51c is well suited.
1.4.1 Internet Access
You can have up to eight WAN services over one ADSL, VDSL or Ethernet WAN
line. The P-2812HNU-51c cannot work in ADSL, VDSL and Ethernet W AN mode at
the same time.
24
Computers can connect to the P-2812HNU-51c’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).
You can also configure IP filtering on the P-2812HNU-51c for secure Internet
access. When the IP filter is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your
P-2812HNU-51c User’s Guide
Page 25
network is blocked by default unless it is initiated from your network. This means
that probes from the outside to your network are not allowed, but you can safely
browse the Internet and download files.
1.4.1.1 DSL

1.4.1.3 3G WAN
The USB port allows you to wirelessly connect to a 3G netowk to get Internet
access by attaching a 3G wireless card. You must leave the DSL or Ethernet WAN
port unconnected and attached a 3G wireless card to use 3G as your WAN. You
can also heve the P-2812HNU-51c use the 3G WAN connection as a backup. That
means the P-2812HNU-51c switches to the 3G wireless WAN connection after the
wired DSL or Ethernet WAN connection fails. The P-2812HNU-51c automatically
changes back to use the wired DSL or Ethernet WAN connection when it is
available.

The P-2812HNU-51c allows you to have more than one PVC using the ATM layer-2
interface. You can apply different ATM QoS settings to traffic through different
PVCs. In this example, real-time or video service, such as using a webcam to send
photos or uploading media content to share videos and images on a blog, comes
from LAN 1 and is forwarded out through PVC 1 (0/33). Non-time sensitive data
transfers, such as e-mail or FTP, come from LAN 2 or LAN 3 and are forwarded out
through PVC 2 (0/34). The maximum upstream transmission speed of your ADSL
port is 1 Mbps. You want to give the real-time traffic fixed bandwidth 400 Kbps
and higher priority over the general data transmission which shares the bandwidth
600 Kbps.

This chapter discusses the P-2812HNU-51c’s WAN screens. Use these screens to
configure your P-2812HNU-51c for Internet access.
A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another
network or the Internet. It connects your private networks, such as a LAN (Local
Area Network), and other networks, so that a computer in one location can
communicate with computers in other locations.

5.2 What You Need to Know
Encapsulation Method
Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower
layer protocol. To set up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the
same encapsulation method used by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). If your
ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) or PPPoA,
they should also provide a username and password (and service name) for user
authentication.
WAN IP Address
The WAN IP address is an IP address for the P-2812HNU-51c, which makes it
accessible from an outside network. It is used by the P-2812HNU-51c to
communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be static (fixed) or
dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the P-2812HNU-51c tries to access the
Internet.
Chapter 5 WAN Setup
If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the
subnet mask and DNS server IP address(es) (and a gateway IP add ress if you use
the Ethernet or ENET ENCAP encapsulation method).
ATM
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is is a LAN and WAN networking technology
that provides high-speed data transfer. A TM uses fix ed-size pack ets of information
called cells. With A TM, a high QoS (Quality of Service) can be guaranteed. ATM
uses a connection-oriented model and establishes a virtual circuit (VC) between
two endpoints before the actual data exchange begins.
PTM
Packet Transfer Mode (PTM) is packet-oriented and supported by the VDSL2
standard. In PTM, packets are encapsulated directly in the High-level Data Link
Control (HDLC) frames. It is des igned to provide a low-ov erhead, tr ansparent w ay
of transporting packets over DSL links, as an alternative to ATM.
NAT Types
This section discusses the following NAT types that are implemented on the P2812HNU-51c.

• Port Restricted Cone
• Symmetric
The following table summarizes how these NAT types handle outgoing and
incoming packets. Read the following sections for more details and examples.
Table 17 NAT Types
PORT
RESTRICTED
CONE
Only external
hosts with an IP
address and port
to which the
internal host has
already sent a
packet can send
packets to the
mapped external
IP address and
port.
SYMMETRIC
A host on the external
network can only send
packets to the specific
mapped external IP
address and port that
the NAT router used in
sending a packet to
the external host’s IP
address and port.
The NAT router maps
the internal IP address
and port of each
outgoing packet to a
different external IP
address and port for
each different
destination IP address
and port.
Incoming
Packets
Outgoing
Packets
FULL CONE
Any external
host can send
packets to the
mapped external
IP address and
port.
The NAT router maps the internal IP address and port
of all outgoing packets to a single IP address and port
on the external network.
RESTRICTED
CONE
Only external
hosts with an IP
address to which
the internal host
has already sent
a packet can
send packets to
the mapped
external IP
address and port.
The examples in these NAT type sections describe NAT translation between
internal (private) and external (public) IP addres ses.
100
IPv6
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to enhance IP address size and
features. The P-2812HNU-51c supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack and can run IPv4 and
IPv6 at the same time. See Appendix F on page 483 for more information about
IPv6.
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.
