Description of Capabilities

◆NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account,
and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet
services such as Web, FTP, e-mail, and Telnet).
◆VPN pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP).
◆User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications
requiring multiple connections.
◆Easy setup through a Web browser on any operating system that
supports TCP/IP.
◆Compatible with all popular Internet applications.
In addition, the access point functionality offers full network management
capabilities through an easy to configure web interface, and support for
Simple Network Management tools.
APPLICATIONS Many advanced networking features are provided by the Barricade:
◆Wireless and Wired LAN — The Barricade provides connectivity to
wired 10/100 Mbps devices, and wireless IEEE 802.11b compatible
devices, making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.
◆Internet Access — This device supports Internet access through a
DSL connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to
establish communications with end users, the Barricade includes built-
in clients for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these
services on your computer.
◆Shared IP Address — The Barricade provides Internet access for up
to 253 users via a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP
account, multiple users on your network can browse the Web at the
same time.
◆Virtual Server — If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the
Barricade to act as a virtual host for network address translation.
Remote users access various services at your site using a constant IP
address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number),
the Barricade can route the request to the appropriate server (at
another internal IP address). This secures your network from direct
attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing
you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to
your network.
◆DMZ Host Support — Allows a networked computer to be fully
exposed to the Internet. This function is used when NAT and firewall
security prevent an Internet application from functioning correctly.

◆Security — The Barricade supports security features that deny
Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific
services the administrator does not want to serve. The Barricade’s
firewall also blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land
Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port
loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy), SSID, and MAC filtering provide security
over the wireless network.
◆Virtual Private Network (VPN) — The Barricade supports three of
the most commonly used VPN protocols – PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. These
protocols allow remote users to establish a secure connection to their
corporate network. If your service provider supports VPNs, then these
protocols can be used to create an authenticated and encrypted tunnel
for passing secure data over the Internet (i.e., a traditionally shared
data network). The VPN protocols supported by the Barricade are
briefly described below.
◆Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol — Provides a secure tunnel for
remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes
provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs. L2TP
merges the best features of PPTP and L2F. Like PPTP, L2TP requires that
the ISP’s routers support the protocol.
◆IP Security — Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can support
large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using digital
certificates for device authentication.

to a remote site using its RJ-11 WAN port. It connects directly to your PC
or to a local area network using its RJ-45 Fast Ethernet LAN port or via a
wireless network adapter.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Theoretically
ADSL2+ provides up to 24 Mbps downstream and 3.5 Mbps upstream.
However, this depends on the distance between your home and the central
office (CO) of the service provider. Actual rates provided by specific
broadband service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits
due to both distance and type of deployment of DSLAM equipment.
Typically a modern domestic broadband connection can reach maximum
download speeds dependent on your port capabilities and upload speeds
usually set at a slower rate. This again is dependent on your service
provider and what contract you sign with them.
Using the ADSL Router data passing between devices connected to your
local area network can run at up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports
and up to 54 Mbps over the built-in wireless network adapter.
The ADSL Router includes an LED display on the front panel for system
power and port indications that simplifies installation and network
troubleshooting.

ANTENNA The ADSL Router includes one integrated 802.11b/g antenna for wireless
connectivity.
Figure 3: Antenna
The antenna transmits the outgoing signal as a toroidal sphere (doughnut
shaped), with the coverage extending most in a direction perpendicular to
the antenna. Therefore, the antenna should be adjusted to an angle that
provides the appropriate coverage for the service area.

ETHERNET PORT The ADSL Router has one 100BASE-TX RJ-45 port that can be attached
directly to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN segments.
This port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use
straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or
hubs.
POWER CONNECTOR
AND BUTTON
The ADSL Router has a power button. When the AC power adapter is
attached and connected to a power source, you must depress the power
button to power the unit.
The power adapter automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100~240
volts at 50 or 60 Hz, and supplies 12 volts DC power to the unit. No voltage
range settings are required.
RESET BUTTON This button is used to restore the factory default configuration. If you hold
down the button for 5 seconds or more, any configuration changes you
may have made are removed, and the factory default configuration is
restored to the access point.

2INSTALLING THE ADSL ROUTER
This chapter describes how to install the ADSL Router.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
You must meet the following minimum requirements:
◆ADSL Internet service provider and modem with Ethernet connection.
◆A 2.4GHz 802.11b/g wireless adapter installed on each PC.
Alternatively an Ethernet adapter can be used.
◆A web browser: Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, Netscape 4.7 or above,
Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or above.
LOCATION SELECTION
Choose a proper place for the ADSL Router. In general, the best location is
at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line of sight of all
wireless devices. Try to place the ADSL Router in a position that can best
cover its service area. For optimum performance, consider these
guidelines:
◆Mount the ADSL Router as high as possible above any obstructions in
the coverage area.
◆Avoid mounting next to or near building support columns or other
obstructions that may cause reduced signal or null zones in parts of the
coverage area.
◆Mount away from any signal absorbing or reflecting structures (such as
those containing metal).
The ADSL Router can be mounted on any horizontal surface, or a wall.

3. Position the Antenna – The antenna emits a radiation pattern that is
toroidal (doughnut shaped), with the coverage extending most in the
direction perpendicular to the antenna. Therefore, the antenna should
be oriented so that the radio coverage pattern fills the intended
horizontal space. For example, if the ADSL Router is mounted on a
horizontal surface, the antenna should be positioned pointing vertically
up to provide optimum coverage.

ADSL SETTINGS
The ADSL Settings page configures the ADSL modulation type, ADSL2+
related parameters, capabilities and the ADSL tone mask.
Figure 29: ATM Settings
The following items can be enabled on this page:
ADSL MODULATION ADSL Modulation refers to a frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) scheme
utilized as a digital multi-carrier modulation method for DSL. A large
number of closely-spaced orthogonal sub-carriers are used to carry data.
The data is divided into several parallel data streams or channels, one for
each sub-carrier. Each sub-carrier is modulated with a conventional
modulation scheme (such as G.lite, ADSL2, etc. or more commonly
ADSL2+).
◆G.lite — A standard that defines the more economical splitterless ADSL
connection that transmits data at up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512
Kbps upstream. This ADSL option can be installed without an on-site
visit by the service provider.
◆G.dmt — A standard that defines full-rate ADSL, and utilizes Discrete
Multi-Tone (DMT) signaling to transmit data at up to 8 Mbps
downstream and 640 Kbps upstream.

◆T1.413 — ANSI standard that defines the requirements for ADSL for
the interface between the telecommunications network and the
customer installation in terms of their interaction and electrical
characteristics. (The Gateway complies with Issue 2 of this standard.)
◆ADSL2 — This standard extends the capability of basic ADSL data rates
to 12 Mbit/s downstream and 3 Mbit/s upstream (with a mandatory
capability of ADSL2 transceivers of 8 Mbit/s downstream and 800 Kbit/s
upstream.
◆ADSL2+ — This standard extends the capability of basic ADSL data
rates to 24 Mbit/s downstream and 1.4 Mbit/s upstream depending on
the distance from the DSLAM to the customer's home.
ANNEXL OPTION Annex L is an optional specification in the ITU-T ADSL2 recomendation
G.992.3 titled “Specific requirements for a Reach Extended ADSL2
(READSL2) system operating in the frequency band above POTS.” It is
often referred to as Reach Extended ADSL2 or READSL2.
◆Enabled — Once enabled AnnexL increases the range of DSL service,
enabling the link to work at a distance of 7 kilometers, or 23,000 feet.
ANNEXM OPTION Annex M is an optional specification in ITU-T recomendations G.992.3
(ADSL2) and G.992.5 (ADSL2+), also referred to as ADSL2 M and ADSL2+
M. This specification extends the capability of commonly deployed Annex A
by more than doubling the number of upstream bits.
◆Enabled — Once enabled AnnexM increases upload speeds by the
shifting the upstream/downstream frequency split from 138 kHz up to
276 kHz, allowing the maximum upstream bandwidth to be increased
from 1.4 Mbit/s to 3.3 Mbit/s.
ADSL CAPABILITY ADSL Capability refers to means of manipulating the bit loading of a
connection to increase quality of signal or transmission rate.
◆Bitswap — Enables bit swapping. Bit swapping is a way of swapping
the bit-loading of a noisy tone with another tone in the symbol which is
not as noisy. The bit loading from a specific tone can be increased or
decreased. In addition, the TX power can be increased or decreased for
a specific tone. However, there is no change in the overall payload rate
after the bit swap operation.
◆SRA — Enables seamless rate adaptation to set the optimal
transmission rate based on existing line conditions.

DHCP RELAY Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can dynamically allocate an
IP address and other configuration information to network clients that
broadcast a request. To receive the broadcast request, the DHCP server
would normally have to be on the same subnet as the client. However,
when the access point’s DHCP relay agent is enabled, received client
requests can be forwarded directly by the access point to a known DHCP
server on another subnet. Responses from the DHCP server are returned to
the access point, which then broadcasts them back to clients.

◆Band — Defines the radio mode. (Default: 2.4Ghz (B+G))
◆Mode — The unit can function as an access point alone allowing
connection to wireless clients, or both access point and WDS (wireless
distribution system) allowing WDS transparent bridging between APs.
(Default: AP)
◆SSID — The service set identifyer for the access point.
(Default: SMCAP)
◆Channel Number — The radio channel that the ADSL Router uses to
communicate with wireless clients. When multiple access points are
deployed in the same area, set the channel on neighboring access
points at least five channels apart to avoid interference with each other.
For example, you can deploy up to three access points in the same area
using channels 1, 6, 11. Note that wireless clients automatically set the
channel to the same as that used by the ADSL Router to which it is
linked. (Default: Auto; Range: 1~11)
◆Radio Power (mW) — Adjusts the power of the radio signals
transmitted from the access point. The higher the transmission power,

the farther the transmission range. Power selection is not just a trade
off between coverage area and maximum supported clients. You also
have to ensure that high-power signals do not interfere with the
operation of other radio devices in the service area. (Default: 60mW;
Range: 60mW, 30mW, 15 mW)
SECOND BSSID
This page configures a second VAP (virtual access point) on the ADSL
Router. Each VAP functions as a separate access point, and can be
configured with its own Service Set Identification (SSID) and security
settings. However, most radio signal parameters apply to both VAP
interfaces.
The VAPs function similar to a VLAN, with each VAP mapped to its own
VLAN ID. Traffic to specific VAPs can be segregated based on user groups
or application traffic. Each VAP can have up to 64 wireless clients, whereby
the clients associate with these VAPs the same as they would with a
physical access point.

■WPA(TKIP): WPA employs a combination of several technologies
to provide an enhanced security solution for 802.11 wireless
networks. TKIP is used as the multicast encryption cipher.
■WPA2(AES): WPA2 – WPA was introduced as an interim solution
for the vulnerability of WEP pending the ratification of the IEEE
802.11i wireless security standard. In effect, the WPA security
features are a subset of the 802.11i standard. WPA2 includes the
now ratified 802.11i standard, but also offers backward
compatibility with WPA. Therefore, WPA2 includes the same 802.1X
and PSK modes of operation.

Each access point radio interface can be configured to operate as a bridge,
which allows it to forward traffic directly to other access point units. To set
up bridge links between access point units, you must configure the wireless
Distribution System (WDS) forwarding table by specifying the wireless MAC
address of all units to which you want to forward traffic. Up to six WDS
bridge links can be specified for each unit in the wireless bridge network.

Figure 45: Wireless Security Setup - Advanced Settings
The following items are displayed on this page:
◆Fragment Threshold — Configures the minimum packet size that can
be fragmented when passing through the wireless interface.
Fragmentation of the PDUs (Package Data Unit) can increase the
reliability of transmissions because it increases the probability of a
successful transmission due to smaller frame size. If there is significant
interference present, or collisions due to high network utilization, try
setting the fragment size to send smaller fragments. This will speed up
the retransmission of smaller frames. However, it is more efficient to
set the fragment size larger if very little or no interference is present
because it requires overhead to send multiple frames. (Range: 256-
2346 bytes; Default: 2346 bytes)
◆RTS Threshold — Sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to
Send (RTS) signal must be sent to a receiving station prior to the
sending station starting communications. The wireless interface sends
RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate the sending of a data
frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station sends a CTS (clear to
send) frame to notify the sending station that it can start sending data.
◆Beacon Interval — The rate at which beacon signals are transmitted
from the wireless interface. The beacon signals allow wireless clients to
maintain contact with the ADSL Router. They may also carry power-
management information. (Range: 20-1000 TUs; Default: 100 TUs)
◆Data Rate — The maximum data rate at which the wireless interface
transmits multicast and broadcast packets. (Options: Auto, 1, 2, 5.5,
11, 6, 9, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps; Default: Auto)

◆Preamble Type — Sets the length of the signal preamble that is used
at the start of a data transmission. (Default: Long)
■Long Preamble: Sets the preamble to long (192 microseconds).
Using a long preamble ensures the wireless interface can support all
802.11b and 802.11g clients.
■Short Preamble: Sets the preamble according to the capability of
clients that are currently asscociated. Uses a short preamble (96
microseconds) if all associated clients can support it, otherwise a
long preamble is used. The wireless interface can increase data
throughput when using a short preamble, but will only use a short
preamble if it determines that all associated clients support it.
◆Broadcast SSID — Enables/disables the wireless interface to
broadcast an SSID (service set identifier) to uniquely identify it on the
network.
◆Apply Changes — Applies the specified changes.

RIP CONFIGURATION
RIP is an Internet protocol you can set up to share routing table
information with other routing devices on your LAN, at your ISP’s location,
or on remote networks connected to your network via the ADSL line. Most
small home or office networks do not need to use RIP; they have only one
router, such as the ADSL Router, and one path to an ISP. In these cases,
there is no need to share routes, because all Internet data from the
network is sent to the same ISP gateway.

IP QOS
The QoS setting page is used to configure Quality of Service (QoS) for
Traffic Prioritization and Bandwidth Management. Quality of Service (QoS)
provides users the control over which type of outgoing data traffic is given
priority by the router. The throughput rate of both the upload and
download data passed through the ADSL Router can be throttled.
The QoS is enforced by the QoS rules in the QoS table. A QoS rule contains
two configuration blocks: Traffic Classification and Action.

IGMP PROXY CONFIGURATION
Multicasting is useful when the same data needs to be sent to more than
one host. Using multicasting as opposed to sending the same data to the
individual hosts uses less network bandwidth. The multicast feature also
enables you to receive multicast video stream from multicast servers.
IP hosts use Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) to report their
multicast group memberships to neighboring routers. Similarly, multicast
routers use IGMP to discover which of their hosts belong to multicast
groups. This device supports IGMP proxy that handles IGMP messages.
When enabled, this device acts as a proxy for a LAN host making requests
to join and leave multicast groups, or a multicast router sending multicast
packets to multicast group on the WAN side.
Figure 71: IGMP Configuration
The following items are displayed on this pages:
◆IGMP Proxy — Enables IGMP proxy. When enabled, the upstream
interface acts as a host interface, sending query messages periodically
to the downstream interfaces, sending join and leave messages to the
upstream multicast router when a first join or last leave message is
received from a downstream interface, and sending membership
reports in response to query messages from the multicast router.

route exists between any two stations on the network, and provide backup
links which automatically take over when a primary link goes down.

BEFORE CONTACTING TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Check the following items before you contact local Technical Support.
1. If wireless clients cannot access the network, check the following:
■Be sure the ADSL Router and the wireless clients are configured
with the same Service Set ID (SSID).
■If authentication or encryption are enabled, ensure that the wireless
clients are properly configured with the appropriate authentication
or encryption keys.
■If authentication is being performed through a RADIUS server,
ensure that the clients are properly configured on the RADIUS
server.
■If authentication is being performed through IEEE 802.1X, be sure
the wireless users have installed and properly configured 802.1X
client software.
■If MAC address filtering is enabled, be sure the client’s address is
included in the local filtering database or on the RADIUS server
database.
■If the wireless clients are roaming between ADSL Routers, make
sure that all the ADSL Routers and wireless devices in the Extended
Service Set (ESS) are configured to the same SSID, and
authentication method.
2. If the ADSL Router cannot be configured using the Telnet, a web
browser, or SNMP software:
■Be sure to have configured the ADSL Router with a valid IP address,
subnet mask and default gateway.
■Check that you have a valid network connection to the ADSL Router
and that the Ethernet port or the wireless interface that you are
using has not been disabled.
■If you are connecting to the ADSL Router through the wired
Ethernet interface, check the network cabling between the
management station and the ADSL Router. If you are connecting to
ADSL Router from a wireless client, ensure that you have a valid
connection to the ADSL Router.
■If you cannot connect using Telnet, you may have exceeded the
maximum number of concurrent Telnet sessions permitted (i.e, four
sessions). Try connecting again at a later time.

CCABLES AND PINOUTS
TWISTED-PAIR CABLE ASSIGNMENTS
For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs
of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have
four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For
example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes.
Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
N
OTE
:
Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific
orientation.
C
AUTION
:
DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into the RJ-45 port. Use
only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC
standards.
The following figure illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are
numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when
attaching the wires to the pins.

10/100BASE-TX PIN ASSIGNMENTS
Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for
RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps
connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection
does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
The RJ-45 port on the access point supports automatic MDI/MDI-X
operation, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for all
network connections to PCs, switches, or hubs. In straight-through cable,
pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through
to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable.
STRAIGHT-THROUGH WIRING
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has
an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-
through. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this
switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect
to any device type.)
You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to
support Gigabit Ethernet connections.

If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are
labeled with an “X” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a
crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (When auto-negotiation is
enabled for any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use either straight-
through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.)
You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to

RJ-11 PORTS
Standard telephone RJ-11 connectors and cabling can be found in several
common wiring patterns. These six-pin connectors can accommodate up to
three wire-pairs (three telephone lines), but usually only one or two pairs
of conductor pins and wires are implemented.
The RJ-11 ports on the side of the Gateway contain two wire-pairs, an
inner pair (pins 3 and 4) and outer pair (pins 2 and 5). On the LINE port,
the inner wire-pair carries both voice and digital data. On the PHONE port,
the inner wire-pair carries voice only.
The outer wire-pair is only connected if there is a second telephone line,
and carries voice only.

networks. Access points attached to a wired network, support the creation
of multiple radio cells that enable roaming throughout a facility.
ADVANCED ENCRYPTION
STANDARD (AES)
An encryption algorithm that implements symmetric key cryptography. AES
provides very strong encryption using a completely different ciphering
algorithm to TKIP and WEP.
AUTHENTICATION The process to verify the identity of a client requesting network access.
IEEE 802.11 specifies two forms of authentication: open system and
shared key.
BACKBONE The core infrastructure of a network. The portion of the network that
transports information from one central location to another central location
where it is unloaded onto a local system.
BEACON A signal periodically transmitted from the access point that is used to
identify the service set, and to maintain contact with wireless clients.
BROADCAST KEY Broadcast keys are sent to stations using dynamic keying. Dynamic
broadcast key rotation is often used to allow the access point to generate a
random group key and periodically update all key-management capable
wireless clients.

NETWORK TIME
PROTOCOL (NTP)
NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time across the network. The
time servers operate in a hierarchical-master-slave configuration in order
to synchronize local clocks within the subnet and to national time
standards via wire or radio.
OPEN SYSTEM A security option which broadcasts a beacon signal including the access
point’s configured SSID. Wireless clients can read the SSID from the
beacon, and automatically reset their SSID to allow immediate connection
to the nearest access point.
ORTHOGONAL
FREQUENCY DIVISION
MULTIPLEXING (ODFM)
OFDM allows multiple users to transmit in an allocated band by dividing the
bandwidth into many narrow bandwidth carriers.
SERVICE SET IDENTIFIER
(SSID)
An identifier that is attached to packets sent over the wireless LAN and
functions as a password for joining a particular radio cell; i.e., Basic Service
Set (BSS).
SESSION KEY Session keys are unique to each client, and are used to authenticate a
client connection, and correlate traffic passing between a specific client and
the access point.
SHARED KEY A shared key can be used to authenticate each client attached to a wireless
network. Shared Key authentication must be used along with the 802.11
Wireless Equivalent Privacy algorithm.
SIMPLE NETWORK TIME
PROTOCOL (SNTP)
SNTP allows a device to set its internal clock based on periodic updates
from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Updates can be requested from
a specific NTP server, or can be received via broadcasts sent by NTP
servers.
TEMPORAL KEY
INTEGRITY PROTOCOL
(TKIP)
A data encryption method designed as a replacement for WEP. TKIP avoids
the problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data encryption
keys.
TRIVIAL FILE TRANSFER
PROTOCOL (TFTP)
A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads.
VIRTUAL ACCESS POINT
(VAP)
Virtual AP technology multiplies the number of Access Points present within
the RF footprint of a single physical access device. With Virtual AP
technology, WLAN users within the device.s footprint can associate with
what appears to be different access points and their associated network

ACCESS
WPA employs 802.1X as its basic framework for user authentication and
dynamic key management to provide an enhanced security solution for
802.11 wireless networks.
WIRED EQUIVALENT
PRIVACY (WEP)
WEP is based on the use of security keys and the popular RC4 encryption
algorithm. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from
network traffic.
WPA PRE-SHARED KEY
(WPA-PSK)
WPA-PSK can be used for small office networks with a limited number of
users that may not need a high level of security. WPA-PSK provides a
simple security implementation that uses just a pre-shared password for
network access.
