Advanced Features Overview The following advanced features are provided: • Internet: • DMZ • URL filter • Access Control • Dynamic DNS • Options • Schedule • Port Trigger • Port Forward • Port Range Forward • QoS Internet This screen provides access to the DMZ and URL Filter features. DMZ This feature, if enabled, allows the DMZ computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on the Internet.
• This allows almost any application to be used on the "DMZ PC". • The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data. • If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must enter the IP address of the PC to be used as the "DMZ PC". The "DMZ PC" is effectively outside the Firewall, making it more vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, you should only enable the DMZ feature when required. URL Filter If you want to limit access to certain sites on the Internet, you can use this feature.
Data - URL Filter Screen Current Filter Strings Current Filter Strings Add Filter String The list contains the current list of items to block. • To add to the list, use the "Add" option below. • To delete an entry, select it and click Delete button. • To delete all entries, click the Delete All button. To add to the current list, type the word or domain name you want to block into the field provided, then click the Add button. Filter strings should be as specific as possible.
Access Control This feature is accessed by the Access Control link on the Advanced menu. Overview The Access Control feature allows administrators to restrict the level of Internet Access available to PCs on your LAN. With the default settings, everyone has unrestricted Internet access. Restrictions are imposed by blocking "Services", or types of connections. All common Services are pre-defined. If required, you can also define your own Services.
Blocked Services This lists all defined Services. Select the Services you wish to block. To select multiple services, hold the CTRL key while selecting. (On the Macintosh, hold the SHIFT key rather than CTRL.) Schedule If Internet access is being blocked, you can choose to apply the blocking only during scheduled times. (If access is not blocked, no Scheduling is possible, and this setting has no effect.
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server) This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address. This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you. DDNS Services work as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
of the selected DDNS service provider. DDNS Data Host Name Enter the domain name allocated to you by the DDNS Service. If you have more than one name, enter the name you wish to use. User Name Enter your Username for the DDNS Service. (TZO.com uses your Email address.) Password Enter your current password for the DDNS Service. (TZO.com calls this a key.) DDNS Status • This message is returned by the DDNS Server.
Options This screen allows advanced users to enter or change a number of settings. For normal operation, there is no need to use this screen or change any settings. An example Options screen is shown below. Data - Options Screen Internet Respond to Ping MTU Size • If checked, the Wireless Router will respond to Ping (ICMP) packets received from the Internet. • If not checked, Ping (ICMP) packets from the Internet will be ignored. Disabling this option provides a slight increase in security.
Schedule This Schedule can be used for the Firewall Rules and the URL filter. Data - Schedule Screen Schedule Day Each day of the week can scheduled independently. Session 1 Session 2 Two (2) separate sessions or periods can be defined. Session 2 can be left blank if not required. Start Enter the start using a 24 hr clock. Finish Enter the finish time using a 24 hr clock. Local Time Time Zone In order to display your local time correctly, you must select your "Time Zone" from the list.
Port Trigger If you use Internet applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers, you may find that they do not function correctly because they are blocked by the Wireless ADSL Router's firewall. In this case, you can define the application as a "Port Trigger". The Port Trigger screen can be reached by clicking the Port Trigger on the screen. You can then define your Port Trigger.
Incoming Ports • Type - Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used when you receive data from the special application or service. (Note: Some applications use different protocols for outgoing and incoming data). • Start - Enter the beginning of the range of port numbers used by the application server, for data you receive. If the application uses a single port number, enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields.
Port Forward This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because: • Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address. • Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device. Data - Single Port Forwarding Screen Port Forwarding Application Enter the desired application type.
Port Range Forward This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because: Data - Port Range Forwarding Screen Port Range Forwarding Application Enter the desired application type. Start Enter the beginning of the range of port numbers used by the application server. End Enter the end of the range of port numbers used by the application server.
QoS The QoS (Quality of Service) feature allows you specify priorities for different traffic. Lower priority traffic will be slowed down to allow greater throughput or less delay for high priority traffic. An example QoS screen is shown below. Data - QoS Screen QoS Setting QoS Setting To disable QoS (Quality of Service), keep the default setting, Disable. To enable QoS (Quality of Service), click Enable and follow these instructions.
Category • • • Normal-Applications: • Add a New Application (Once selected, please complete the following setups.) • Ip/Net: Enter the IP addresses. • Outbound Rate: Enter the desired rate value. • Inbound Rate: Enter the desired rate value. • Priority: Select the desired option (High, Normal, Low) Self-Define • Name. Enter a name for your device. • Port Range: Enter the values for the desired port range. • Protocol: Select the desired option.
Advanced Administration Overview Normally, it is not necessary to use these screens, or change any settings. These screens and settings are provided to deal with non-standard situations, or to provide additional options for advanced users. The available settings and features are: PC Database This is the list of PCs shown when you select the "DMZ PC" or a "Virtual Server". This database is maintained automatically, but you can add and delete entries for PCs which use a Fixed (Static) IP Address.
PC Database The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC). • It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses. • Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your LAN. However, if you do use a fixed IP address on some devices on your LAN, you should enter details of each such device into the PC database, using the PC Database screen. PC Database Screen An example PC Database screen is shown below.
Data - PC Database Screen Known PCs This lists all current entries. Data displayed is name (IP Address) type. The "type" indicates whether the PC is connected to the LAN. Buttons Refresh Update the data on screen. Advanced Administration View the Advanced version of the PC database screen - PC Database (Admin). See below for details.
PC Database - Advanced This screen is displayed if the "Advanced Administration" button on the PC Database is clicked. It provides more control than the standard PC Database screen. Data - Advanced PC Database Known PCs This lists all current entries. Data displayed is name (IP Address) type. The "type" indicates whether the PC is connected to the LAN. PC Properties Name If adding a new PC to the list, enter its name here. It is best if this matches the PC's "hostname".
MAC Address Select the appropriate option • Automatic discovery - Select this to have the Wireless ADSL Router contact the PC and find its MAC address. This is only possible if the PC is connected to the LAN and powered On. • MAC address is - Enter the MAC address on the PC. The MAC address is also called the "Hardware Address", "Physical Address", or "Network Adapter Address". The Wireless ADSL Router uses this to provide a unique identifier for each PC.
Config File This feature allows you to download the current settings from the Wireless ADSL Router, and save them to a file on your PC. You can restore a previously-downloaded configuration file to the Wireless ADSL Router, by uploading it to the Wireless ADSL Router. This screen also allows you to set the Wireless ADSL Router back to its factory default configuration. Any existing settings will be deleted. An example Config File screen is shown below.
Logs The Logs record various types of activity on the Wireless ADSL Router. This data is useful for troubleshooting, but enabling all logs will generate a large amount of data and adversely affect performance. Since only a limited amount of log data can be stored in the Wireless ADSL Router, log data can also be E-mailed to your PC. Use the E-mail screen to configure this feature. Data - Logs Screen Logs Current Time The current time on the Wireless ADSL Router is displayed.
Logs Include (Checkboxes) Use these checkboxes to determine which events are included in the log. Checking all options will increase the size of the log, so it is good practice to disable any events which are not really required. • Attempted access to blocked sites - If checked, attempted Internet accesses which were blocked are logged. • Connections to the Web-based interface of this Router - If checked, this will log connections TO this Router, rather than through this Router to the Internet.
E-mail This screen allows you to E-mail Logs and Alerts. A sample screen is shown below. Data - E-mail Screen E-Mail Notification Turn E-mail Notification on Check this box to enable this feature. If enabled, the E-mail address information (below) must be provided. Send to this Email address Enter the E-mail address the Log is to be sent to. The E-mail will also show this address as the Sender's address.
E-mail Alerts Send E-mail alerts immediately You can choose to have alerts E-mailed to you, by checking the desired checkboxes. The Broadband ADSL Router can send an immediate alert when it detects a significant security incident such as • A known hacker attack is directed at your IP address • A computer on the Internet scans your IP address for open ports • Someone on your LAN (Local Area Network) tries to visit a blocked site.
Diagnostics This screen allows you to perform a "Ping" or a "DNS lookup". These activities can be useful in solving network problems. An example Network Diagnostics screen is shown below. Data - Network Diagnostics Screen Ping IP Address Enter the IP address you wish to ping. The IP address can be on your LAN, or on the Internet. Note that if the address is on the Internet, and no connection currently exists, you could get a "Timeout" error. In that case, wait a few seconds and try again.
Remote Administration If enabled, this feature allows you to manage the Wireless ADSL Router via the Internet. Data - Remote Administration Screen Remote Administration Enable Remote Management Check to allow administration/management via the Internet. (To connect, see below). If Disabled, this device will ignore Administration connection attempts from the Internet. Current IP Address This is the current address you will use when accessing this device from the Internet.
dresses as practical. To connect from a remote PC via the Internet 1. 2. Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser. In the "Address" bar, enter "HTTP://" followed by the Internet IP Address of the Wireless ADSL Router. If the port number is not 80, the port number is also required. (After the IP Address, enter ":" followed by the port number.) e.g. HTTP://123.123.123.123:8080 This example assumes the WAN IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and the port number is 8080. 3.
Routing Overview • If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing" page completely. • If the Wireless ADSL Router is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the "Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers. • If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the Wireless ADSL Router is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.
Data - Routing Screen RIP RIP Direction Select the desired RIP Direction. RIP Version Choose the RIP Version for the Server. Static Routing Static Routing Table Entries This list shows all entries in the Routing Table. • This area shows details of the selected item in the list. • Change any the properties as required, then click the "Edit" button to save the changes to the selected entry.
Local Router The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Wireless ADSL Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the Wireless ADSL Router itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows. Destination IP Address Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation. Network Mask Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation. Gateway IP Address The IP Address of the Wireless ADSL Router.
Gateway IP Address 192.168.0.100 (Wireless ADSL Router's local Router) Metric 2 Entry 2 (Segment 2) Destination IP Address 192.168.2.0 Network Mask 255.255.255.0 (Standard Class C) Gateway IP Address 192.168.0.100 Metric 3 For Router A's Default Route Destination IP Address 0.0.0.0 Network Mask 0.0.0.0 Gateway IP Address 192.168.0.1 (Wireless ADSL Router's IP Address) For Router B's Default Route Destination IP Address 0.0.0.0 Network Mask 0.0.0.0 Gateway IP Address 192.168.1.

You must first download the upgrade file, then select Upgrade Firmware on the Administration menu. You will see a screen like the following. To perform the Firmware Upgrade: 1. 2. 3. Click the Browse button and navigate to the location of the upgrade file. Select the upgrade file. Its name will appear in the Upgrade File field. Click the Upload button to commence the firmware upgrade.
Modem Mode Overview There are two modes available on the Mode screen. • Router - Both the ADSL Modem and the Router features are operational. In this mode, this device can provide shared Internet Access to all your LAN users. Also, by default, it acts a DHCP Server, providing an IP address and related information to all Wireless and LAN users. • Modem - Only the ADSL Modem component is operational. All Router features are disabled.
Home Screen If in Modem mode, the home screen will look like the example below. Note that the menu has changed, many of the options in Router mode are not available. The screens available are: • Mode - change back to Router mode, if desired. • LAN - set IP address, mask and gateway. This is the same as in Router mode, except that the DHCP server is not available while in Modem mode. • Wireless - this screen, and related sub-screens, is the same as in Router mode.

Appendix Troubleshooting This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Wireless ADSL Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless ADSL Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1: Can't connect to the Wireless ADSL Router to configure it.
Appendix A - Troubleshooting Rules to specify the PC which will receive the incoming traffic. You can also use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every application, but: • It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled. • Only one (1) PC can use this feature. Wireless Access Problem 1: My PC can't locate the Wireless Access Point. Solution 1: Check the following. • Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode.
About Wireless LANs Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes: • Ad-hoc • Infrastructure Ad-hoc Mode Ad-hoc mode does not require an Access Point or a wired (Ethernet) LAN. Wireless Stations (e.g. notebook PCs with wireless cards) communicate directly with each other. Infrastructure Mode In Infrastructure Mode, one or more Access Points are used to connect Wireless Stations (e.g. Notebook PCs with wireless cards) to a wired (Ethernet) LAN.
• If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join. WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted. This is desirable because it is impossible to prevent snoopers from receiving any data which is transmitted by your Wireless Stations.
Encryption The same encryption method must be used. The most common encryption method is TKIP. Another widelysupported method is AES. WPA-802.1x This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA standard. If this option is used: • The Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. • Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
