CAUTION: Safety Instructions Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your base station. • Maintain a distance of at least 20 cm between persons and a functioning radio base station. • Do not store or use the radio base station in locations that are exposed to heat, direct sunlight, excessive dust, or extreme cold. Keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat. • Only a qualified technician should open the radio base station case.
1 Getting to Know Your Radio Base Station Welcome The S1 GSM/GPRS Radio Base Station is the link between your cell phone (or your data card) and your service provider, providing your own personal island of coverage. It has a network connection for Internet access through your cable or DSL modem. There’s also a router inside and four LAN (local area network) ports for sharing connectivity with multiple computers. To create your cell radio link, install and set up the base station.
2 The S1 Indicators, Connectors and Reset Button S1 LEDs are located on the front panel, shown in Figure 1, and connectors and the reset button are located on the back panel, shown in Figure 2. Figure 1 Front Indicators Indicators Connected Indicator Green. Lights when the S1 detects a valid cell communication channel. Green. The LAN indicators serve two purposes.
3 Connecting the S1 Your S1 connects to your broadband modem (cable or DSL). Then you can connect networked devices, for example a computer and a printer server, to the network ports on the S1. See Figure 3. Note: The Internet packets for your cellular service are time-critical for smooth conversation. Therefore the S1 gives priority to voice packets. It is important to connect the S1 directly to your broadband modem and connect other devices to the network ports on the S1.
Figure 4 S1 Connections 1 Make sure that all network devices you are going to connect to the S1 are OFF. Make sure the DSL or cable modem is OFF. Make sure the modem is properly connected to the coax cable or telephone cable that provides your broadband Internet service. Note: Your ISP can assist you with this connection. It requires that the ISP has configured your Internet access and you have received any necessary setup information from your ISP.
4 Configuring the S1 Router For the majority of situations, the router configuration does not need your attention. The S1 uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to find the information it needs from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) over the Wide Area Network (WAN) connection. If you do wish to make router configuration changes, you can use this chapter of the manual to see what the settings mean. (To secure the router, you will need to change the default password.
Figure 6 Sample Automatic Setup Performed Along the top of the interface are 6 main tabs: Setup, Routing, Security, Status, Reset Configuration, and Logout. The Setup Tab—Basic Setup Internet Setup By default, your ISP will provide an IP address automatically. In this case, the DHCP radio button is selected and the fields in this section are automatically populated.
Host Name If your ISP asks for a host name, make one up and enter it here. MTU The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) setting specifies the largest packet size permitted for network transmission. Size This is not editable if you leave MTU at its default. The Setup Tab—DHCP Setup From the setup tab, if you click the DHCP Server link in the left margin, you will see the screen shown in Figure 7.
The Routing Tab—Advanced Routing Figure 8 Advanced Routing Dynamic Routing By default, dynamic routing is disabled. It enables the router to determine network packets’ route based on the fewest hops between source and destination. Static Routes Static routes are designated routes that network packets must take between source and destination. Destination IP Address This is the address of the host (or network) to which packets on the static route are directed.
The Security Tab—Firewall Figure 9 Firewall: Add Rule Add Rule Use this screen to set up rules to filter Internet packets to enhance your network’s security. Source IP Enter the IP Address where the filtered packets originate. Destination IP Enter the IP Address where the filtered packets are destined. Protocol Optionally, choose a protocol for the packets you wish to filter. Application Choose the application for the packets you wish to filter. Source Port No This field is read-only.
The Security Tab—Port Forwarding Figure 10 Port Range Forwarding Port Range Forward Use this table to allow for public services or for specialized applications to work on your network. Application Enter the name of the application. Start Enter the port the server or Internet application uses. End Enter the same port number or the upper end of the range. Protocol Select TCP, UDP, or Both. IP Address Enter the IP address of the server that you want the Internet users to be able to access.
