IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN
Wireless communication occurs over radio waves rather than a wire. Like a cordless telephone, a wireless LAN
uses radio signals instead of wires to exchange data. A wireless network eliminates the need for expensive and
intrusive wiring to connect computers throughout the home or office. Mobile users can remain connected to the
network even when carrying their laptop to different locations in the home or office.
Each computer on a wireless LAN requires an adapter described in “Optional Accessories” on page 4:
•For wireless laptops connections, use a Motorola PCC11b Wireless Card in the PCMCIA slot.
•For wireless desktop connections, use a Motorola USB11b Wireless Adapter to connect your PC USB port.
Sample wireless network connections
To set up the SBG1000, on a computer wired to the SBG1000 over Ethernet or USB, perform the procedures in
“Setting Up the Wireless LAN” on page 67.
To set up each wireless client (station):
1Insert the PCC11b and USB11b Wireless Adapter CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive on the client.
2Install the device software from the CD.
3Connect the Motorola PCC11b wireless card or USB11b wireless adapter following the instructions supplied
with the card or adapter

Security
The Motorola SBG1000 Wireless Cable Modem Gateway provides:
•A firewall to protect the SBG1000 LAN from undesired attacks over the Internet
•Security measures to prevent eavesdropping of wireless data
Network Address Translation (NAT) provides some security because the IP addresses of SBG1000 LAN
computers are not visible on the Internet.
The logical network diagram does not necessarily correspond to the network cabling. A full discussion of network
security is beyond the scope of this document.
SBG1000 security measures shown in a logical network diagram
Firewall
The SBG1000 firewall protects the SBG1000 LAN from undesired attacks and other intrusions from the Internet. It
provides an advanced integrated stateful-inspection firewall supporting intrusion detection, session tracking, and
denial-of-service attack prevention. The firewall:
•Maintains state data for every TCP/IP session on the OSI network and transport layers
•Monitors all incoming and outgoing packets, applies the firewall policy to each one, and screens for improper
packets and intrusion attempts
•Provides comprehensive logging for all:
— User authentications
— Rejected internal and external connection requests
— Session creation and termination
— Outside attacks (intrusion detection)
You can configure the firewall filters to set rules for port usage and to block specific IP domains and networks. For
information about choosing a default firewall policy, see “Setting the Firewall Policy” on page 36.

DMZ
A de-militarized zone (DMZ) is one or more computers logically located outside the firewall between an SBG1000
LAN and the Internet. A DMZ prevents direct access by outside users to private data. You can use a DMZ to set up
a web server without exposing confidential data on your network. A DMZ is also useful for gamers that have a
problem running a computer game’s protocol through a firewall. DMZ provides the gamer a way to expose a single
host directly to the Internet and thus overcome any firewall issues.
Wireless Security
To prevent unauthorized eavesdropping of data transmitted over the wireless LAN, you must enable wireless
security. The default Open authentication setting provides no security for transmitted data.
You can encrypt data transmitted over the IEEE 802.11b wireless interface by configuring a WEP key on the
Motorola SBG1000 Wireless Cable Modem Gateway and wireless LAN clients (stations).
You can also define a MAC access control list to restrict wireless LAN access to specified clients based on the
client MAC address.
If you enable closed network operation, the network name (ESSID) is not transmitted in the IEEE 802.11b beacon
frame. This provides additional network protection because only IEEE 802.11b stations that are configured with
your network name can associate with the SBG1000. Closed network operation is not part of the IEEE 802.11b
standard
For information about configuring a WEP key, see “Configuring Basic Wireless LAN Security” on page 69.
Virtual Private Networks
The SBG1000 allows multiple tunnel VPN pass-through operation to securely connect remote computers over the
Internet through the SBG1000. The SBG1000:
•Is compatible with Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)
•Is fully interoperable with any IPSec client or gateway and ANX certified IPSec stacks

Firewall > POLICY — basic Page
Use this page to select a predefined firewall policy for all packets processed by the SBG1000 firewall, as
described in “Setting the Firewall Policy” on page 36. Advanced users only can create a custom policy on the
Firewall > POLICY — advanced Page (see page 39). The FIREWALL POLICY setting None disables the firewall
and provides no security. We do not recommend this setting.
The predefined policies provide outbound Internet access for computers on the SBG1000 LAN.
The SBG1000 firewall uses stateful inspection to allow inbound responses when there already is an outbound
session running corresponding to the data flow. For example, if you use a web browser, outbound HTTP
connections are permitted on port 80. Inbound responses from the Internet are allowed because an outbound
session is established. When required, the SBG1000 firewall can be configured to allow inbound packets
without first establishing an outbound session.
