Installation
Follow the steps and guidelines in this section to physically set up and position the VT2400/VT2500 voice gateway
on a flat surface or mount it on the wall.
Positioning Your Router for Optimal Wireless Performance (VT2500 only)
Your voice gateway has an embedded wireless router that uses a radio transmission technology defined by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) called 802.11 Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi). This standard is
subdivided into distinct categories of speed and the frequency spectrum used, designated by the lowercase letter
after the standard.
For example, the router supports both the ‘b’ and ‘g’ specifications. The 802.11b specification transmits data rates
up to 11 Mbps while the 802.11g specification transmits data rates up to 54 Mbps. These are theoretical standards
so performance may vary. The radio waves radiate in a donut-shaped pattern. The waves travel through walls and
floors, but transmission power and distance are affected. The theoretical distance limit is 1,000 feet (305 meters),
but actual throughput and distance varies.
Both standards operate in the 2.4 GHz range, meaning other electrical appliances also might interfere with the
router – televisions, radios, microwave ovens, or 2.4 GHz cordless telephones. Therefore, positioning the voice
gateway where it encounters the least interference helps maintain a better connection.
The following table lists the expected wireless range of the router. This table is only a guide and coverage varies
due to local conditions.
To achieve the best wireless performance, review these guidelines before deciding where to place the voice
gateway:
•Placing the voice gateway in the center of your network is the best location because the antenna sends out
the signal in all directions.
•Placing the voice gateway in a higher location, such as on top of a cabinet, helps disperse the signal cleanly,
especially to receiving locations on upper stories.
•If possible, position the voice gateway so there is direct line of sight between the unit and your other home
network devices.
•Avoid placing the voice gateway next to large solid objects like computer cases, monitors, walls, fireplaces,
etc. This helps the signal penetrate more cleanly.
•Other wireless devices such as televisions, radios, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless telephones can
interfere with the signal. Keep these devices away from the voice gateway.
•Mirrors, especially silver-coated, can reduce transmission performance.
Data Rate Open Area Closed Area
54 Mbps Up to 100 ft (30m) Up to 60 ft (18 m)
11 Mbps Up to 900 feet (275 m) Up to 160 feet (49 m)
5.5 Mbps Up to 1300 feet (396 m) Up to 200 feet (61 m)
2 or 1 Mbps Up to 1500 feet (457 m) Up to 300 feet (91 m)

For basic operation of your network, these tasks must be completed:
•Selecting the firewall policy and enabling the firewall
•Disabling the wireless option (if you are setting up a wired network only); or
•Enabling wireless security (if setting up a LAN with one or more wireless devices
Setting the Firewall Policy and Enabling the Firewall
The VT2400/VT2500 firewall protects your LAN from attacks and other intrusions from the Internet. This section
describes using the Policy > POLICY — config page to choose one of the predefined firewall policies provided
with the voice gateway.
The predefined policies provide outbound Internet access for computers on the VT2400/VT2500 LAN. The voice
gateway 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.
To set up a custom firewall, see Firewall > FIREWALL — basic in Advanced Configuration.
Caution!
Firewalls are not foolproof. Choose the most secure firewall policy possible. To enable easy network
setup, the default firewall policy is None, which provides no security.

•View the firewall logs on the Firewall > LOG page.
•Configure the VT2500 firewall to allow inbound packets without first establishing an outbound session. You
will also need to configure a port forwarding entry on the Gateway > PORT FORWARDING — config page or
a DMZ client on the Gateway > LAN – static leases page.
High The safest firewall policy template, that provides the highest security. We recommend this setting.
Medium A firewall policy template that provides a common configuration having modest risk.
Low A firewall policy template that provides minimum security, with a higher risk of intrusions.
Custom You may need to create your own custom firewall policy. Do not create a custom policy unless you have
the necessary expertise and the need to do so.

Gaming Configuration Guidelines
The following sections provide information about configuring the voice gateway firewall and a DMZ for gaming.
Configuring the Firewall for Gaming
By default, the VT2500 firewall is disabled. If you enable the firewall, as recommended, refer to the game’s
documentation to ensure that the necessary ports are open for use by that game.
The predefined VT2400/VT2500 firewall policies affect Xbox LiveTM as follows:
Configuring Port Triggers
Because the voice gateway has predefined port triggers for games using any of the following applications, no user
action is required to enable them:
•DirectX 7 and DirectX 8
•MSN Games by Zone.com
•Battle.net
For a list of games supported by Battle.net, visit http://www.battle.net.
You may need to create custom port triggers to enable other games to operate properly. If you set custom port
triggers and enable the firewall, you must customize the firewall to allow traffic through those ports. To create
custom port triggers, use the Gateway > PORT TRIGGERS - custom page.
Low Xbox Live data can pass through the firewall. No user action is required.
Medium or high To enable Xbox Live traffic to pass, you must configure:
•Choose Firewall > FIREWALL — advanced to create your own custom firewall
•Enter UDP 88:88 and UDP/TCP 3074:3074 on the ...........?

Configuration: Basic Advanced TCP/IP Wireless
VT2400/VT2500 Series Voice Gateway User Guide 27
Configuring a Gaming DMZ Host
Some games and game devices require one of these:
•The use of random ports
•The forwarding of unsolicited traffic
For example, to connect a PlayStation® 2 for PS2® online gaming, designate it as the gaming DMZ host because
the ports required vary from game to game. For these games, we recommend configuring the gaming computer or
device as a gaming DMZ device.
To configure a gaming DMZ device, on the Gateway > LAN – static leases page:
1Reserve a private IP address for the computer or game device MAC address.
2Designate the device as a DMZ device.
You can reserve IP addresses for multiple devices, but only one device can be designated as the gaming DMZ at
a time.
Caution!
The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the firewall. It is open to communication or hacking from any
computer on the Internet. Consider carefully before configuring a device to be in the DMZ.

Enable DNS Proxy Enables a server that sits between the client application, such as a Web browser, and a
real server. Its job is to improve performance as it intercepts all requests to the real server
to see if it can fulfill the requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to the real server. A
company or household might use a proxy server to prevent its members from accessing a
specific set of Web sites.
Enable DHCP Relay The Gateway can relay the actual DNS queries to some other server. Such relaying of
DNS querying to some other server is called a DNS relay.

RESERVE NEW IP
ADDRESS You can reserve up to 64 IP addresses assigned by the VT2400/VT2500 DHCP server for
specific LAN clients. For example, to ensure that they always receive the same private IP
address, you can reserve IP addresses for a private FTP server or gaming DMZ device.
You may reserve up to 16 IP addresses for CPEs on your LAN that are assigned by the
voice gateway’s DHCP server. You may want to reserve an IP address on your LAN for a
particular server (such as a private FTP server) to ensure the designated server always
receives the same private IP address.
MAC Address Type the MAC address of the DHCP client for which a reserved IP address is required.
The format is 16 hexadecimal numerals.
NOTE: If the MAC Address you entered already has an IP Address assigned and is listed
in the CURRENT DHCP LEASES table as Dynamic on the Gateway > LAN — dhcp
leases page, you must reserve the same IP Address that is listed there for this MAC
Address.
IP Address Sets the host portion of the reserved IP address for the LAN client having the specified
MAC address. When the LAN client requests an IP address, the VT2400/VT2500 DHCP
server assigns the client this IP address.
Add (button) After you have entered a MAC address and an IP address, click Add to reserve a new IP

Add a DMZ Host:
Enable DMZ The gaming DMZ host is a computer with a reserved IP address designated as the default
DMZ host. Only one gaming DMZ host can be active at once.
The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the firewall. It is open to communication or
hacking from any computer on the Internet. Consider carefully before configuring a
computer to be in the DMZ.
The benefit of using a gaming DMZ host instead of a NAT passthrough host is that a
gaming DMZ host does not require a public IP address as does a NAT passthrough host.
If the application requires a public IP address, configure the computer for NAT
passthrough on the Gateway > LAN — nat config page.
IP Address Sets the host portion of the reserved IP address for the LAN client having the specified
MAC address. When the LAN client requests an IP address, the VT2500 voice gateway
DHCP server assigns the client this IP address.

FORWARDING ENTRY You can configure up to 64 virtual servers. If you select Custom, you must set the Name,
Port Start, Port End, and LAN IP Address.
Port Forwarding Entry
(new) Type a unique identifier for the custom virtual server. The typical practice is to use the
protocol as a unique identifier (for example “ftp”).
Service Sets the LAN internal interface port or the start of a port range. Inbound Internet
connection requests are statically mapped to this port. The voice gateway includes
predefined port triggers (enabled by default) for many popular applications and protocols,
including: DirectX, MS zone.com, Battle.net, Quicktime, Netmeeting H.323, Net2Phone,
MSN Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger. In addition, predefined port forwarding
templates are provided for many applications, such as:
•FTP 20, 21
•HTTP 80
•NTP 123
•Secure Shell 22
•SMTP e-mail 25
•Telnet 23
Local IP Sets the private LAN IP address for the port forwarding page. An Internet user must know
the public IP address to access any port forwarding entry you define on the private LAN.

Use this IP address Select this option if you are using a static IP address, then type the address in the field
provided.
Enable PAT
(Port Address
Translation)
Select this box to enable the port forwarding entries to be accessed through network
address translation (NAT).
Notes:
The most common form of address translation between public and private IP addresses is
NAT. This represents a mapping of one public IP address to many private IP addresses.
Using NAT, you can support up to 253 clients on your private LAN.
If NAT is disabled, then the voice terminal DHCP server is also disabled. In this case, none
of the client devices on your private internal LAN will be assigned an IP address from the
voice terminal DHCP server. Instead, your clients are treated as passthrough devices, and
if they are configured to use DHCP, they will attempt to obtain a public IP address from
your ISP.

Gateway > PORT TRIGGERS - predefined
When you run a PC application that accesses the Internet, it communicates with a computer on the Internet. In
some applications, especially gaming, the computer on the Internet also communicates with your PC. Because
NAT does not normally allow these incoming connections, the VT2400/VT2500 supports port triggering.
The VT2400/VT2500 is preconfigured with port triggering for common applications. You can also configure
additional port triggers if needed. Configuring port triggers for an application requires:
•The application transport protocol — TCP or UDP
•The application port number
You can use the default values for the remaining parameters.
Only one computer at a time connected to the VT2400/VT2500 can use an application that requires port
triggering. Use this page to view predefined port triggers.
