Chapter 6 Broadband 6.5.1.1 ENET ENCAP The MAC Encapsulated Routing Link Protocol (ENET ENCAP) is only implemented with the IP network protocol. IP packets are routed between the Ethernet interface and the WAN interface and then formatted so that they can be understood in a bridged environment. For instance, it encapsulates routed Ethernet frames into bridged ATM cells. ENET ENCAP requires that you specify a gateway IP address in the Ga t e w a y I P Addr e ss field in the wizard or WAN screen.
Chapter 6 Broadband VC-based Multiplexing In this case, by prior mutual agreement, each protocol is assigned to a specific virtual circuit; for example, VC1 carries IP, etc. VC-based multiplexing may be dominant in environments where dynamic creation of large numbers of ATM VCs is fast and economical. LLC-based Multiplexing In this case one VC carries multiple protocols with protocol identifying information being contained in each packet header.
Chapter 6 Broadband Do not specify a nailed-up connection unless your telephone company offers flat-rate service or you need a constant connection and the cost is of no concern. 6.5.6 NAT 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 to a different IP address known within another network. 6.
Chapter 6 Broadband 6.6.1 ATM Traffic Classes These are the basic ATM traffic classes defined by the ATM Forum Traffic Management 4.0 Specification. Constant Bit Rate (CBR) Constant Bit Rate (CBR) provides fixed bandwidth that is always available even if no data is being sent. CBR traffic is generally time-sensitive (doesn't tolerate delay). CBR is used for connections that continuously require a specific amount of bandwidth. A PCR is specified and if traffic exceeds this rate, cells may be dropped.
C HAPT ER 7 Wireless LAN 7.1 Overview This chapter describes how to perform tasks related to setting up and optimizing your wireless network, including the following. • Turning the wireless connection on or off. • Configuring a name, wireless channel and security for the network. • Using WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) to configure your wireless network. • Setting up multiple wireless networks. • Using a MAC (Media Access Control) address filter to restrict access to the wireless network.
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN 7.1.2 What You Need to Know About Wireless Wireless Basics “Wireless” is essentially radio communication. In the same way that walkie-talkie radios send and receive information over the airwaves, wireless networking devices exchange information with one another. A wireless networking device is just like a radio that lets your computer exchange information with radios attached to other computers.

Chapter 7 Wireless LAN • An “infrastructure” type of network has one or more access points and one or more wireless clients. The wireless clients connect to the access points. • An “ad-hoc” type of network is one in which there is no access point. Wireless clients connect to one another in order to exchange information. The following figure provides an example of a wireless network. Figure 40 Example of a Wireless Network The wireless network is the part in the blue circle.
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN variety of networks to exist in the same place without interfering with one another. When you create a network, you must select a channel to use. Since the available unlicensed spectrum varies from one country to another, the number of available channels also varies. 7.10.2 Additional Wireless Terms The following table describes some wireless network terms and acronyms used in the AMG1312-T Series’s Web Configurator.
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN her favorite movie is Vanishing Point (which you know was made in 1971) you could use “70dodchal71vanpoi” as your security key. The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless network. 7.10.3.1 SSID Normally, the AMG1312-T Series acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the SSID instead, in which case the AMG1312-T Series does not broadcast the SSID.
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN 7.10.3.4 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. The types of encryption you can choose depend on the type of authentication. (See Section 7.10.3.3 on page 105 for information about this.
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN 7.10.5 BSS A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless stations or between a wireless station and a wired network client go through one access point (AP). Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the BSS. When Intra-BSS traffic blocking is disabled, wireless station A and B can access the wired network and communicate with each other.
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN • MBSSID should not replace but rather be used in conjunction with 802.1x security. 7.10.7 Wireless Distribution System (WDS) The AMG1312-T Series can act as a wireless network bridge and establish WDS (Wireless Distribution System) links with other APs. You need to know the MAC addresses of the APs you want to link to. Once the security settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between devices is made.
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN 2 Look for a WPS button on each device. If the device does not have one, log into its configuration utility and locate the button (see the device’s User’s Guide for how to do this - for the AMG1312-T Series, see Section 7.6 on page 99). 3 Press the button on one of the devices (it doesn’t matter which). For the AMG1312-T Series you must press the WPS button for more than three seconds. 4 Within two minutes, press the button on the other device.

The next time you use WPS, a different device can be the registrar if necessary. The WPS connection process is like a handshake; only two devices participate in each WPS transaction.
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN Figure 45 WPS: Example Network Step 1 ENROLLEE REGISTRAR SECURITY INFO AP1 CLIENT 1 In step 2 , you add another wireless client to the network. You know that Clie nt 1 supports registrar mode, but it is better to use AP1 for the WPS handshake with the new client since you must connect to the access point anyway in order to use the network. In this case, AP1 must be the registrar, since it is configured (it already has security information for the network).

It does not work in Ad-Hoc networks (where there is no AP). • When you use WPS, it works between two devices only.
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN access point is the WPS registrar, the enrollee, or was not involved in the WPS handshake; a rogue device must still associate with the access point to gain access to the network. Check the MAC addresses of your wireless clients (usually printed on a label on the bottom of the device). If there is an unknown MAC address you can remove it or reset the AP.
C HAPT ER 8 Home Networking 8.1 Overview A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many networking devices are connected. It is usually located in one immediate area such as a building or floor of a building. Use the LAN screens to help you configure a LAN DHCP server and manage IP addresses. LAN DSL 8.1.1 What You Can Do in the LAN Screens • Use the LAN Se t u p screen to set the LAN IP address, subnet mask, and DHCP settings of your AMG1312-T Series (Section 8.
Chapter 8 Home Networking 8.1.2 What You Need To Know 8.1.2.1 About LAN IP Address IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network. These networking devices are also known as hosts. Subnet Mask Subnet masks determine the maximum number of possible hosts on a network. You can also use subnet masks to divide one network into multiple sub-networks.
Chapter 8 Home Networking Cautions with UPnP The automated nature of NAT traversal applications in establishing their own services and opening firewall ports may present network security issues. Network information and configuration may also be obtained and modified by users in some network environments. When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For security reasons, the AMG1312-T Series allows multicast messages on the LAN only.

There are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN network as shown next. Figure 56 LAN and WAN IP Addresses LAN WAN 8.8.
Chapter 8 Home Networking • Some ISPs choose to disseminate the DNS server addresses using the DNS server extensions of IPCP (IP Control Protocol) after the connection is up. If your ISP did not give you explicit DNS servers, chances are the DNS servers are conveyed through IPCP negotiation. The AMG1312-T Series supports the IPCP DNS server extensions through the DNS proxy feature. Please note that DNS proxy works only when the ISP uses the IPCP DNS server extensions.
Chapter 8 Home Networking • 192.168.0.0 — 192.168.255.255 You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or it can be assigned from a private network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger organization, you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.
Chapter 8 Home Networking 224.0.0.1 is used for query messages and is assigned to the permanent group of all IP hosts (including gateways). All hosts must join the 224.0.0.1 group in order to participate in IGMP. The address 224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers group. At start up, the AMG1312-T Series queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the AMG1312-T Series periodically updates this information.
C HAPT ER 9 Static Route 9.1 Overview The AMG1312-T Series usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from computers on the LAN to the Internet. To have the AMG1312-T Series 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 AMG1312-T Series’s LAN interface. The AMG1312-T Series routes most traffic from A to the Internet through the AMG1312-T Series’s default gateway (R1 ).
Chapter 9 Static Route 9.1.1 What You Can Do in the Static Route Screens • Use the St a t ic Rou t e screens (Section 9.2 on page 133) to view and configure IP static routes on the AMG1312-T Series. • Use the I Pv6 St a t ic Rout e screens (Section 9.3 on page 134) to view and configure IPv6 static routes on the AMG1312-T Series. 9.2 The Static Route Screen Use this screen to view the static route rules.

C HAPTER 10 Quality of Service (QoS) 10.1 Overview Use the QoS screen to set up your AMG1312-T Series to use QoS for traffic management. Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network’s ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and the networking methods used to control bandwidth. QoS allows the AMG1312-T Series to group and prioritize application traffic and fine-tune network performance. Without QoS, all traffic data are equally likely to be dropped when the network is congested.
Chapter 10 Quality of Service (QoS) • Use the Que ue screen (Section 10.3 on page 138) to configure QoS settings on the AMG1312-T Series. • Use the Cla ss Se t u p screen (Section 10.4 on page 140) to configure QoS settings on the AMG1312-T Series. • Use the Ga m e List screen (Section 10.5 on page 144) to give priority to traffic for specific games. 10.1.2 What You Need to Know About QoS 802.1p QoS is used to prioritize source-to-destination traffic flows.

C HAPTER 11 Network Address Translation (NAT) 11.1 Overview This chapter discusses how to configure NAT on the AMG1312-T Series. 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 to a different IP address known within another network. 11.1.1 What You Can Do in the NAT Screens • Use the Ge n e r a l screen (Section 11.
Chapter 11 Network Address Translation (NAT) Port Forwarding A port forwarding set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can make visible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single computer to the outside world. Finding Out More See Section 11.6 on page 153 for advanced technical information on NAT. 11.2 The NAT General Screen Use this screen to activate NAT for the default WAN connection (PVC0).
Chapter 11 Network Address Translation (NAT) 11.3 The Port Forwarding Screen Use this 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.
Chapter 11 Network Address Translation (NAT) See Appendix F on page 286 for port numbers commonly used for particular services. Note: Make sure NAT is activated on the WAN connection before you configure a port forwarding rule for it. For the default WAN connection (PVC0), activate NAT in the N e t w or k Se t t in g > N AT > Ge n e r a l screen. For other WAN connections (PVC1~PVC7), activate NAT for an individual WAN connection in the Br oa dba n d > M or e Conn e ct ions > Edit screen.

Chapter 11 Network Address Translation (NAT) NAT never changes the IP address (either local or global) of an outside host. 11.6.2 What NAT Does In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a subscriber (the inside local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding the packet to the WAN side.
Chapter 11 Network Address Translation (NAT) Figure 76 NAT Application With IP Alias 11.6.5 NAT Mapping Types NAT supports five types of IP/port mapping. They are: • One t o One : In One-to-One mode, the AMG1312-T Series maps one local IP address to one global IP address. • M a ny t o One : In Many-to-One mode, the AMG1312-T Series maps multiple local IP addresses to one global IP address.
Chapter 11 Network Address Translation (NAT) The following table summarizes these types.
C HAPTER 12 Port Binding 12.1 Overview This chapter describes how to configure the port binding settings. Port binding allows you to aggregate port connections into logical groups. You may bind WAN PVCs to Ethernet ports and WLANs to specify how traffic is forwarded. Different ATM QoS settings can be specified for each WAN PVC to meet bandwidth requirements for the type of traffic to be transferred.
