LAN
The RG230 must have a valid IP address for management using a web browser and
to support other features. The unit has a default IP address of 192.168.1.1. You can
use this IP address or assign another address that is compatible with your existing
local network. The unit can also be enabled as a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server to allocate IP addresses to local PCs.
LAN Settings
The RG230 includes a DHCP server that can assign temporary IP addresses to any
attached host requesting the service. Addresses are assigned to clients from a
common address pool configured on the unit. Configure an address pool by
specifying start and end IP addresses. Be sure not to include the unit's IP address in
the address pool range.
Figure 5-1 LAN Settings
IP Address – The IP address of the unit. Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal
numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.The default setting is 192.168.1.1.
Subnet Mask – Indicates the local subnet mask is fixed as 255.255.255.0.
The Gateway acts as DHCP Server – Check this box to enable the DHCP server.
IP Pool Starting/Ending Address – Specifies the start and end IP address of a
range that the DHCP server can allocate to DHCP clients. You can specify a single
address or an address range. Note that the address pool range is always in the
same subnet as the unit’s IP setting. (Default: 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254)

Lease Time – Selects a time limit for the use of an IP address form the IP pool.
When the time limit expires, the client has to request a new IP address.
(Default: Half hour; Options: Half hour, one hour, two hours, half day, one day,
two days, one week, two weeks)
Local Domain Name – This optional parameter specifies the name of the domain
the unit is attached to.
DHCP Client List
The DHCP Client List page enables you to see the MAC address of devices that are
currently connected to the unit and have been assigned an IP address by the DHCP
server.
Figure 5-2 DHCP Client List
NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a standard method of mapping multiple
"internal" IP addresses to one "external" IP address on devices at the edge of a
network. For the RG230, the internal (local) IP addresses are the IP addresses
assigned to local PCs by the DHCP server, and the external IP address is the IP
address assigned to the WiMAX interface.
Virtual Server
Using the NAT Virtual Server feature, remote users can access different servers on
your local network using your single public IP address.
Remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site thorugh
your public IP address, are redirected (mapped) to other local server IP addresses
and TCP/UDP port numbers. For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80
(HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.7.9/80, then all HTTP requests
from outside users forwarded to 192.168.7.9 on port 80. Therefore, by just using
your external IP address provided by your ISP, Internet users can access the
services they need at the local addresses to which you redirect them.

Port Mapping
Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony
and others, require multiple connections. These applications cannot work with
Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled. If you need to run applications that
require multiple connections, use port mapping to specify the additional public ports
to be opened for each application.

DMZ
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind
the NAT firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way internet access
by defining a virtual-DMZ (virtual-demilitarized-zone) host.
Figure 5-5 DMZ Settings
Enable – Enables the feature. (Default: Disabled)
IP Address of Virtual DMZ Host – Specifies the IP address of the virtual DMZ host.
(Range: 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254; Default: 0.0.0.0)
Note: Adding a host to the DMZ may expose your local network to a variety of security
risks, so only use this option as a last resort.
Firewall
The RG230 provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection
parameters to limit the risk of intrusion and defending against a wide array of
common hacker attacks. You can also block access to the Internet from clients on
the local network based on IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers, or specific
MAC addresses.

Firewall Options
The RG230’s firewall enables access control of client PCs, blocks common hacker
attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, Smurf Attack, TCP null
scan, ICMP defect, and TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not significantly affect
system performance and it is best to leave it enabled to protect your network.
Figure 5-7 Firewall Options
Enable Hacker Attack Protect – Network attacks that deny access to a network
device are called DoS attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and networks with
a connection to the Internet. Their goal is not to steal information, but to disable a
device or network so users no longer have access to network resources. The Router
protects against the following DoS attacks: IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death,
Smurf Attack, TCP null scan, ICMP defect, and TCP SYN flooding.
Discard PING from WAN side – Prevents pings on the unit’s WiMAX interface from
being routed to the network.
Discard to PING the Gateway – Prevents any response to a ping to the unit’s IP
address.

Chapter 7: VoIP Settings
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology is a way of using the Internet to make
phone calls. Phone calls can be tranmitted over the Internet by encoding a voice call
into data packets at one end and then decoding it back into voice calls at the other
end. This encoding and decoding is from a analog signal (your voice) into a digital
signal (data packets) and then back into an analog signal.
The RG230 uses Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) as the control mechanism that
sets up, initiates, and terminates calls between a caller and a called party. The SIP
messaging makes use of “Proxy,” “Redirect,” and “Registration” servers to process
call requests and find the location of called parties across the Internet. When SIP
has set up a call between two parties, the actual voice communication is a direct
peer-to-peer connection using the standard Real-Time Protocol (RTP), which
streams the encoded voice data across the network.
You can make VoIP calls by connecting a regular phone to one of the RG230’s
RJ-11 Phone ports. You can also make VoIP calls from your computer using a VoIP
application with a simple microphone and computer speakers. Using either method,
VoIP provides an experience identical to normal telephoning.
The RG230 allows the two RJ-11 Phone ports to be configured separately with
different settings.
The VoIP configuration pages include the following options.

Dial Plan
Dial-plan strings specify key sequences used for specific calling features (Transfer,
New Call, 3-way conference), as well as defining call restriction filters.
A dial plan can filter the number and pattern of digits that a user dials to reach a
particular telephone number. Access codes, area codes, specialized codes, and
combinations of the number of digits dialed can all be part of a dial plan. This
enables a user to predefine dialling sequences that are permitted.
The dial-plan string consists of a single digit rule. A typical example of a dial-plan
string is: [0123]xxxxxx.t
Three standard dial plans are defined; Call Transfer Key, New Call Key, and 3-way
Conference. Up to 10 other dial plans can be defined by the user.
Figure 7-2 Dial Plan Settings
The function of elements allowed in a dial plan are described in the table below:
Table 7-1. Dial Plan Elements
Element Example Description
x xxxx Represents a digit of any value ( 0 to 9) that can be dialed on a
phone. This example has a rule with four digits of any number.
. xx. Indicates zero or more occurrences of the previous symbol. The
example acts like a wildcard, meaning any dialed phone number of
two or more digits is allowed.
0-9 01xx Indicates dialed digits that must be matched. This example only
allows four-digit numbers starting “01.”
![](/img.php?id=1150308&img=bg3c.png)
VoIP Settings
7-4
7
When a user dials a series of digits, the dial-plan rule is tested for a possible match.
If a match is made, the dialed sequence is transmitted. If no match is made, the
dialed number is blocked and the user will hear an error tone.
A dial-plan string cannot include spaces between elements. Dialed sequences that
are longer than specified in a dial-plan rule are truncated after the number of
specified digits. For example, if the dial-plan rule is “011x” and “0115678” is dialed,
only the digit sequence “0115” is transmitted.
[ ] [125-8] Limits a dialed digit to specified values or a range of values. The
example specifies that only digits 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are permitted.
t xx.t The timeout indicator that can placed after dialed digits or at the end

Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments
For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two 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.
Caution: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific
orientation. (See “Straight-Through Wiring” on page C-2 and “Crossover
Wiring” on page C-2 for an explanation.)
Caution: 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.
Figure C-1 RJ-45 Connector
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, or
100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure
that the
length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
The RJ-45 ports on the unit 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.

Crossover Wiring
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.

GNU General Public License (GPL), GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), or
other related free software licences. The GPL code used in this product is distributed
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY and is subject to the copyrights of one or more
authors. For details, refer to the section “The GNU General Public License” below, or

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the
Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors
commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you
receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or
use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you
these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to
certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you
modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee,
you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that
they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms
so they know their rights.

License Information

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you
this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the
software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone
understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is
modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what
they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not
reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to
avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent
licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it
clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program
or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by
this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and
to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a
copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at
your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus
forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you
also meet all of these conditions:
![](/img.php?id=1150308&img=bg4b.png)
The GNU General Public License
D-3
D
a). You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
you changed the files and the date of any change.
b). You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in
part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
License.
c). If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run,
you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the
most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else,
saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the
program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of
this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not
normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is
not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License,
and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole
which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to
work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control
the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with
the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section
2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
provided that you also do one of the following:
a). Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b). Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any
third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing
source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
![](/img.php?id=1150308&img=bg4c.png)
License Information
D-4
D
c). Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute
corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for
noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object
code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b
above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the
executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need
not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form)
with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating
system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source
code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even
though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object
code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or
any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License
to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You
may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights
granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third
parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or
for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on
you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
![](/img.php?id=1150308&img=bg4d.png)
The GNU General Public License
D-5
D
consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a
patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all
those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way
you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the
section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other
property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has
the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution
system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have
made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through
that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the
author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any
other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries
either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who
places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted
only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies
a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you
have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program
does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version
ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose
distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission.
For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the
Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
software generally.

NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO
IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY
WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS
PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING
ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY
OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Tunneled Transport Layer Security (TTLS)
EAP-TTLS is a protocol extension of EAP-TLS. The authentication server is
authenticated to the client using its Certification Authority certificate, this establishes
a secure “tunnel” through which the client is then authenticated.
URL (Uniform Resource Locator)
An easy-to-read character string that is used to represent a resource available on
the Internet. For example, “http://www.url-example.com/.”
UTP
Unshielded twisted-pair cable.
Wi-Fi Protected Access
WPA employs IEEE 802.1X as its basic framework for user authentication and
dynamic key management to provide an enhanced security solution for 802.11 Wi-Fi
networks.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
WEP is the Wi-Fi security based on the use of RC4 encryption keys. Wi-Fi devices
without a valid WEP key are excluded from the network.
WPA Pre-shared Key (PSK)
PSK security can be used for small Wi-Fi networks that may not have the resources
to configure and maintain a RADIUS server. WPA provides a simple operating mode
that uses just a pre-shared password for network access.
WiMAX
The IEEE 802.16 standard for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. The
IEEE 802.16-2004 standard, known as “fixed WiMAX,” supports only point-to-point
links and has no support for mobility. The IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard, known as
“mobile WiMAX,” is an amendment to IEEE 802.16-2004 and supports mobility. Note
that mobile WiMAX standard is not backward compatible with the fixed WiMAX
standard.
