WEP
If you want to use WEP to protect your wireless network, you need to set
the same parameters for the Barricade and all your wireless clients.
To generate the key automatically with passphrase, enter a string of
characters and click the GENERATE button. Select the default key from
the drop-down menu. Click SAVE SETTINGS.
Note: The passphrase can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
To manually configure the encryption key, enter five hexadecimal pairs of
digits for the 64-bit key, or enter 13 pairs for the 128-bit key.
(A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F.)
Note: WEP protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does
not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the
Internet.

NAT
Network Address Translation allows multiple users to access the Internet
sharing one public IP.
NAT
4-41
Address Mapping
Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal
users. This also hides the internal network for increased privacy and
security. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into the Global IP
field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the global IP into the
“from” field.

Virtual Server
If you configure the ADSL Router as a virtual server, remote users
accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP
addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with
private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service
(TCP/UDP port number), the ADSL Router redirects the external service
request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).
For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and
the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from
outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by
just entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access
the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them.
The more common TCP service ports include:
HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110.
A list of ports is maintained at the following link:

Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming,

Network Address Destination IP address.
Netmask The subnetwork associated with the destination.
This is a template that identifies the address bits in the
destination address used for routing to specific subnets. Each bit
that corresponds to a “1” is part of the subnet mask number;
each bit that corresponds to “0” is part of the host number.
Gateway The IP address of the router at the next hop to which frames are
forwarded.
Interface The local interface through which the next hop of this route is
reached.
Metric When a router receives a routing update that contains a new or
changed destination network entry, the router adds 1 to the
metric value indicated in the update and enters the network in
the routing table.

Firewall
The Barricade Router’s firewall inspects packets at the application layer,
maintains TCP and UDP session information including time-outs and the
number of active sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent
certain types of network attacks.
Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called
Denial-of-Service (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 Barricade protects against the following DoS attacks: 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.
(For details see“Intrusion Detection,” page 4-54.)
The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise
enabling the function to protect your network.
Select Enable and click the SAVE SETTINGS button.

Intrusion Detection
• Intrusion Detection Feature
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Anti-DoS firewall protection
(Default: Enabled) — The Intrusion Detection Feature of the Barricade
Router limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI
feature is turned on, all incoming packets will be blocked except for those
types marked in the Stateful Packet Inspection section.
RIP Defect (Default: Enabled) — If an RIP request packet is not
acknowledged to by the router, it will stay in the input queue and not be
released. Accumulated packets could cause the input queue to fill, causing
severe problems for all protocols. Enabling this feature prevents the
packets from accumulating.
Discard Ping to WAN (Default: Disabled) — Prevent a ping on the
Barricade’s WAN port from being routed to the network.

IREWALL

•Stateful Packet Inspection
This is called a “stateful” packet inspection because it examines the
contents of the packet to determine the state of the communications; i.e., it
ensures that the stated destination computer has previously requested the
current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all communications
are initiated by the recipient computer and are taking place only with
C
ONFIGURING
THE
B
ARRICADE
4-56
sources that are known and trusted from previous interactions. In addition
to being more rigorous in their inspection of packets, stateful inspection
firewalls also close off ports until connection to the specific port is
requested.
When particular types of traffic are checked, only the particular type of
traffic initiated from the internal LAN will be allowed. For example, if the
user only checks “FTP Service” in the Stateful Packet Inspection section,
all incoming traffic will be blocked except for FTP connections initiated
from the local LAN.
Stateful Packet Inspection allows you to select different application types
that are using dynamic port numbers. If you wish to use the Stateful Packet
Inspection (SPI) to block packets, click on the Yes radio button in the
“Enable SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection” field and then check the
inspection type that you need, such as Packet Fragmentation, TCP
Connection, UDP Session, FTP Service, H.323 Service, or TFTP Service.

orientation. The following figure illustrates how the pins on an Ethernet
RJ-45 connector are numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same
orientation when attaching the wires to the pins.

RJ-45 Port Ethernet Connection
Use the straight-through CAT -5 Ethernet cable provided in the package
to connect the Barricade to your PC. When connecting to other network
devices such as an Ethernet switch, use the cable type shown in the
following table.

Pin Assignments
With 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX cable, pins 1 and 2 are used for
transmitting data, and pins 3 and 6 for receiving data.
Straight-Through Wiring
If the port on the attached device has internal crossover wiring (MDI-X),
then use straight-through cable.
