Internet 4G LTE Status: Choose Activated to enable the 3G/4G-LTE connection. Usage Allowance: to control 4G LTE flow, click it to further configure about 4G LTE flow control, refer to the following Usage Allowance for more information. Network Mode: There are some options of service standards: “Automatic”, “UMTS 3G only”, “GSM 2G Only”, “UMTS 3G Preferred”, “GSM 2G Preferred”, “GSM and UMTS Only”, “LTE Only”, “GSM, UMTS, LTE”. If you are not sure which mode to use, you may select Automatic to auto detect the best mode for you. TEL No.: The dial string to make a GPRS / 3G/4G-LTE user internetworking call. It may provide by your mobile service provider. Dual APN: MX-1000 can support up to two APNs. Select Single or Dual. APN: An APN is similar to a URL on the WWW, it is what the unit makes a GPRS / UMTS call. The service provider is able to attach anything to an APN to create a data connection, requirements for APNs varies between different service providers. Most service providers have an internet portal which they use to connect to a DHCP Server, thus giving you access to the internet i.e. some 3G operators use the APN ‘internet’ for their portal. The default value is “internet”. Username/Password: Enter the username and password provided by your service provider. The username and password are case sensitive. PIN: PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. A PIN code is a numeric value used in certain systems as a password to gain access, and authenticate. In mobile phones a PIN code locks the SIM card until you enter the correct code. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly 3 times in a row, then the SIM card will be blocked and you will require a PUK code from your network/service provider. Connection: Default set to Always on to keep an always-on 3G/4G-LTE connection. Keep Alive: Select Yes to keep the 3G/4G-LTE connection always on. Keep Alive IP: Enter the IP address whic is used for “ping”, and router will ping the IP to find whether the connection is on or not, if not, router will recover the connection. Default Route: Select Yes to use this interface as default route interface. NAT: Select this option to Disabled/Enable the NAT (Network Address Translation) function. Enable NAT to grant multiples devices in LAN to access to the Internet through a single WAN IP. Usage Allowance Mode: include Volume-based and Time-based control. Volume-based include “only Download”, ”only Upload” and “Download and Upload” to limit the flow. Time-based control the flow by providing specific hours per month. The billing period begins on: the beginning day of billing each month. Over usage allowance action: what to do when the flow is over usage allowance, the availablemethods are “Disconnect”, “E-mail Alert”, ”E-mail Alert and Disconnect”. Save the statistics to ROM: to save the statistics to ROM system. EWAN Status: Select whether to enable the service. IPv4/IPv6 IP Version: Choose IPv4, IPv4/IPv6, IPv6 based on your environment.

PPPoE (If selected PPPoE as WAN Connection Type; otherwise, skip this part) Username: Enter the user name provided by your ISP. Password: Enter the password provided by your ISP. Bridge Interface for PPPoE: When “Activated”, the device will gain WAN IP from your ISP with the PPPoE account. But if your PC is connected to the router working as a DHCP client, in this mode, the device acts as a NAT router; while if you dial up with the account within your PC, the device will then work as a bridge forwarding the PPPoE information to the PPPoE server and send the response to your PC, thus your PC gets a public WAN IP working in the internet. Connection Setting Connection: Always On: Click on Always On to establish a PPPoE session during start up and to automatically re-establish the PPPoE session when disconnected by the ISP. Connect Manually: Select Connect Manually when you don't want the connection up all the time. TCP MSS Option: Enter the maximum size of the data that TCP can send in a segment. Maximum Segment Size (MSS). IP Options Default Route: Select Yes to use this interface as default route interface. TCP MTU Option: Enter the maximum packet that can be transmitted. Default MTU is set to 1492. IPv4 Options Get IP Address: Choose Static or Dynamic Static IP Address: If Static is selected in the above field, please enter the specific IP address you get from ISP and the following IP subnet mask and gateway address. IP Subnet Mask: The default is 0.0.0.0. User can change it to other such as 255.255.255.0.Type the subnet mask assigned to you by your ISP (if given). Gateway: Enter the specific gateway IP address you get from ISP. NAT: Select Enable if you use this router to hold a group of PCs to get access to the internet. Dynamic Route: RIP Version: (Routing Information protocol) Select this option to specify the RIP version, including RIP-1, RIP-2. RIP Direction: Select this option to specify the RIP direction. None is for disabling the RIP function. Both means the router will periodically send routing information and accept routing information then incorporate into routing table. IN only means the router will only accept but will not send RIP packet. OUT only means the router will only send but will not accept RIP packet. IGMP Proxy: IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group. Choose whether enable IGMP proxy. IPv6 Options(only when choose IPv4/IPv6 or just IPv6 in IP version field above) IPv6 Address: Type the WAN IPv6 address from your ISP. Obtain IPv6 DNS: Choose if you want to obtain DNS automatically. Primary/Secondary DNS: if you choose Disable in the Obtain IPv6 DNS field, please type the exactly primary and secondary DNS. MLD Proxy: MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol) is to IPv6 just as IGMP to IPv4. It is a Multicast Management protocol for IPv6 multicast packets. When router’s Internet configuration is finished successfully, you can go to status to get the connection information. LAN A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached and is limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building. IPv4 Parameters IP Address: Enter the IP address of Router in dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.254 (factory default). IP Subnet Mask: The default is 255.255.255.0. User can change it to other such as 255.255.255.128. Alias IP Address: This is for local networks virtual IP interface. Specify an IP address on this virtual interface. Alias IP Subnet Mask: Specify a subnet mask on this virtual interface. Snooping: Select Activated to enable IGMP/MLD Snooping function, Without IGMP/MLD snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP/MLD snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group. Dynamic Route: Select the RIP version from RIP1 or RIP2. DHCPv4 Server DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. DHCPv4 Server: If set to Enabled, your MX-1000 can assign IP addresses, default gateway and DNS servers to the DHCP client. If set to Disabled, the DHCP server will be disabled. If set to Relay, the MX-1000 acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays DHCP requests and responses between the remote server and the clients. Enter the IP address of the actual, remote DHCP server in the Remote DHCP Server field in this case. When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set. Start IP: This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. IP Pool Count: This field specifies the count of the IP address pool. Lease Time: The current lease time of client. DNS Relay Select Automatically obtained or Manually set (if selected. Please set the exactly information). Primary DNS Server: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask. Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask. Fixed Host In this field, users can map the specific IP (must in the DHCP IP pool) for some specific MAC, and this information can be listed in the following table. IP Address: Enter the specific IP. For example: 192.168.1.110. MAC Address: Enter the responding MAC. For example: 00:0A:F7:45:6D:ED When added, you can see the ones listed as showed below: IPv6 parameters The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID. Interface Address / Prefix Length: Enter a static LAN IPv6 address. If you are not sure what to do with this field, please leave it empty as if contains false information it could result in LAN devices not being able to access other IPv6 device. Router will take the same WAN’s prefix to LAN side if the field is empty. DHCPv6 Server There are two methods to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts, Stateless and Stateful. Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of routers, and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a host to generate its own addresses using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers. Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while hosts generate an "interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An address is formed by combining the two. When using stateless configuration, you needn’t configure anything on the client. Stateful configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful auto configuration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track of which addresses have been assigned to which hosts. DHCPv6 Server: Check whether to enable DHCPv6 server. DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is available. Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server. Stateful: If selected, the PCs in LAN will be configured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses and DNS information from DHCPv6 server. Start interface ID: enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4. End interface ID: enter the end interface ID. Leased Time (hour): the leased time, similar to leased time in DHCPv4, is a time limit assigned to clients, when expires, the assigned ID will be recycled and reassigned. Router Advertisement: Check to Enable or Disable the Issue Router Advertisement feature. This feature is to send Router Advertisement messages periodically which would multicast the IPv6 Prefix information (similar to v4 network number 192.168.1.0) to all LAN devices if the field is enabled. We suggest enabling this field. Wireless This section introduces the wireless LAN and some basic configurations. Wireless LANs can be as complex as a number of computers with wireless LAN cards communicating through access points which bridge network traffic to the wired LAN. Access Point Settings Access Point: Default setting is set to Activated. If you want to close the wireless interface, select Deactivated. AP MAC Address: The MAC address of wireless AP. Wireless Mode: The default setting is 802.11b+g+n (Mixed mode). If you do not know or have both 11g and 11b devices in your network, then keep the default in mixed mode. From the drop-down manual, you can select 802.11g if you have only 11g card. If you have only 11b card, then select 802.11b and if you only have 802.11n then select 802.11n. Channel: The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless devices is called a channel. There are Regulation Domains and Channel ID in this field. The Channel ID will be different based on Regulation Domains. Select a channel from the drop-down list box. Beacon interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to synchronize the wireless network. RTS/CTS Threshold: The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between 1500 and 2347. Fragmentation Threshold: The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value between 256 and 2346, even number only. DTIM Interval: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). TX Power: The transmission power of the antennas, ranging from 1-100, the higher the more powerful of the transmission performance. IGMP Snooping: Enable or disable the IGMP Snooping function for wireless. Without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group.” 11n Settings Channel Bandwidth: Select either 20 MHz or 20/40 MHz for the channel bandwidth. The wider the Channel bandwidth the better the performance will be. Guard Interval: Select either 400nsec or 800nsec for the guard interval. The guard interval is here to ensure that data transmission do not interfere with each other. It also prevents propagation delays, echoing and reflections. The shorter the Guard Interval, the better the performance will be. We recommend users to select Auto. MCS: There are options 0~15 and AUTO to select for the Modulation and Coding Scheme. We recommend users selecting AUTO. SSID Settings Available SSID: User can determine how many virtual SSIDs to be used. Default is 1, maximum is 4. SSID Index: Select the number of SSIDs you want to config; up to 4 SSIDs are available in the list. SSID: The SSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguished from another. For security propose, change the default wlan-ap to a unique ID name to the AP which is already built-in to the router’s wireless interface. Make sure your wireless clients have exactly the SSID as the device, in order to get connected to your network. Broadcast SSID: Select Yes to make the SSID visible so a station can obtain the SSID through passive scanning. Select No to hide the SSID in so a station cannot obtain the SSID through passive scanning. Clients Isolation: This parameter is to control access between two wireless clients. If users enable this function, then each of the wireless clients will not be able to communicate with the other. SSID Activated: Select the time period during which the SSID is active. Default is always which means the SSID will be active all the time without time control. See Time Schedule to set the timeslot to flexibly control when the SSID functions. WPS Settings WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature is a standard protocol created by Wi-Fi Alliance. This feature greatly simplifies the steps needed to create a Wi-Fi network for a residential or an office setting. WPS supports 2 types of configuration methods which are commonly known among consumers: PIN Method & PBC Method. Use WPS: Enable this feature by choosing the ”YES” radiobutton. WPS State: Display whether the WPS is configured or unconfigured. WPS Mode: Select the mode which to start WPS, choose between PIN Code and PBC (Push Button). Selecting Pin Code mode will require you to know the enrollee PIN code. To future understand the two modes of configuration; please refer to the example of the Wi-Fi Protected Setup. Security Settings Security Type: You can disable or enable wireless security for protecting wireless network. The default type of wireless security is OPEN and to allow all wireless stations to communicate with the access points without any data encryption. To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the router offers secure data encryption, known as WEP and WPA. There are five alternatives to select from: WEP 64-bit, WEP 128-bit, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK. If you require high security for transmissions, please select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA/WPA2-PSK. WEP 64-bit, WEP 128-bit WEP Authentication Method: WEP authentication method, there are two methods of authentication used, Open System authentication (OPENWEB) and Share Key authentication (SHAREDWEB). We suggest you select OPENWEB. Key 1 to Key 4: Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission, the WEP Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router. There are four keys for your selection. The input format is in HEX style, 5 and 13 HEX codes are required for 64-bitWEP and 128-bitWEP respectively. If you chose WEP 64-bit, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). If you chose WEP 128-bit, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be activated at any one time. The default key is key 1. Note: When you enable WPS function, this WEP function will be invalid. And if you select one of WEP-64Bits/ WEP-128Bits, the following prompt box will appear to notice you. WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK WPA Algorithms: TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or AES (Advanced Encryption System) utilizes a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. Pre-Shared key: The key for network authentication. The input format should be 8-63 ASKII characters or 64 hexadecimal characters Key Renewal Interval: The time interval for changing the security key automatically between wireless client and AP. WDS Settings WDS (Wireless distributed system) is a wireless access point mode that enables wireless link and communication with other access point. It is easy to be installed, just define the peer’s MAC of the connected AP. WDS Mode: select Activated to enable WDS feature and Deactivated to disable this feature. MAC Address: Enter the AP MAC addresses (in XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format) of the peer connected AP. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Example I: PIN Method: Configure AP as Registrar 1.

Dual WAN Dual WAN is specially designed to offer users failover/fallback. Auto failover/failback is to ensure an always-on internet connection. Users can set a WAN1 (main WAN) and WAN 2 (backup WAN), and when WAN1 fails, it will switch to WAN2, and when WAN1 restores, it will switch to WAN1 again. General Setting Select Failover to enable the failover/failback feature to keep WAN always on. Failover & Failback WAN Port Service Detection Policy WAN1: Select “4G LTE 1”, “4G LTE 2” or “EWAN” for WAN1 (The main WAN). WAN2: Select the “4G LTE 2” or “EWAN” for WAN2 as backup port if you select “4G LTE 1” as WAN1. Keep Backup Interface Connected: Select if to keep backup WAN interface connected. Connectivity Decision: Set how many times of probing failure to switch to backup port. Probe Cycle: Set the time duration for the Probe Cycle to determine when the router will switch to the backup connection (backup port) once the main connection (main port) fails. For example, when set to 30 seconds, the probe will be conducted every 30 seconds. Note: 1) The time set is for each probe cycle, but the decision to change to the backup port is determined by Probe Cycle multiplied by connection Decision amount (e.g. From the image above it will be 30 seconds multiplied by 3 consecutive fails, the router will determine failover to WAN2 (backup port)). 2).The failback setting follow the same decision policy as the failover. For example, according to settings above in the screenshot, the connection probe will be carried out every 30 seconds, and 3 consecutive times of probe success is found, the router will determine failback to WAN1 (main WAN). Probe WAN 1: Choose the probe policy, to probe gateway or host (users decide themselves) Gateway: It will send ping packets to gateway of Wan1 interface and wait for response from it in every “Probe Cycle” to check the connectivity of the gateway of WAN1 interface. Host: It will send ping packets to specific host and wait for response in every “Probe Cycle”. The host must be an IP address. Failover & Priority WAN Port Service Detection Policy WAN1: Select “4G LTE 1”, “4G LTE 2” or “EWAN” for WAN1 (The main WAN). WAN2: Select the “4G LTE 2” or “EWAN” for WAN2 as backup port if you select “4G LTE 1” as WAN1. Connectivity Decision: Set how many times of probing failure to switch to backup port. Probe Cycle: Set the time duration for the Probe Cycle to determine when the router will switch to the backup connection (backup port) once the main connection (main port) fails. For example, when set to 30 seconds, the probe will be conducted every 30 seconds. Note: 1) The time set is for each probe cycle, but the decision to change to the backup port is determined by Probe Cycle multiplied by connection Decision amount (e.g. From the image above it will be 30 seconds multiplied by 3 consecutive fails, the router will determine failover to WAN2 (backup port)). 2).The failback setting follow the same decision policy as the failover. For example, according to settings above in the screenshot, the connection probe will be carried out every 30 seconds, and 3 consecutive times of probe success is found, the router will determine failback to WAN1 (main WAN). Priority by: The condition is signal strength. Load Balance WAN Port Service Detection Policy WAN1: Select “4G LTE 1”, “4G LTE 2” or “EWAN” for WAN1 (The main WAN). WAN2: Select the “4G LTE 2” or “EWAN” for WAN2 as backup port if you select “4G LTE 1” as WAN1. Service Detection: Select if to keep detecte WAN interface connected. Connectivity Decision: Set how many times of probing failure to disable load balance. Probe WAN 1/2: Choose the probe policy, to probe gateway or host (users decide themselves) Gateway: It will send ping packets to gateway of Wan1 interface and wait for response from it in every “Probe Cycle” to check the connectivity of the gateway of WAN1 interface. Host: It will send ping packets to specific host and wait for response in every “Probe Cycle”. The host must be an IP address. Outbound Load Balance The connections are distributed over WAN1 and WAN2 so that it can utilize bandwidth of both WAN ports. With Outbound load balance, traffic may be routed to a faster link when one of the WAN is slower or congested so that user gains better throughput and less delay. User can distribute outbound traffic based on Session Mechanism or IP Hash Mechanism. Base on Session Mechanism: Balance by Session (Round Robin): Balance session traffic based on a round robin method. Balance by Session weight: Balance session traffic based on a weight ratio. Enter the desired ratio in the fields provided. Base on IP Hash Mechanism: Balance by weight: Use an IP hash to balance traffic based on a ratio. Enter the desired ratio into the fields provided. Protocol Binding Protocol Binding lets you direct specific traffic to go out from a specific WAN port. Policies determine how specific types of internet traffic are routed, for example, traffic from a particular IP(es) granted access to only one WAN port rather than using both of the WAN ports as with load balancing. Rule Index: The index marking the rule. Maximum entries can be 16. Active: Select whether to enable the rule. Bind Interface: To determine the WAN interface the to-be-set rule will apply to and what type of traffic is to be bound to forward to the which WAN interface. Source IP Address: Enter the source IP address featuring the traffic origin. Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet of the designation network. Port Number: Enter the port number which defines the application. Destination IP Address: Enter the destination IP address featuring the traffic destination. Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet of the designation network. Port Number: Enter the port number which defines the application. DSCP: The DSCP value. Value Range:0~64, 64 means Don't care Protocol: Select the protocol traffic is using (TCP, UDP, ICMP). Advanced Setup Advanced Step provides advanced features including Firewall, Routing, NAT, Static DNS, Time Schedule, Mail Alert and Remote System Log for advanced users. Firewall Your router includes a firewall for helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet. Firewall: To automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, Port Scan and Land Attack. Enabled: It activates your firewall function. Disabled: It disables the firewall function. SPI: If you enabled SPI, all traffics initiated from WAN would be blocked, including DMZ, Virtual Server, and ACL WAN side. Enabled: It activates your SPI function. Disabled: It disables the SPI function. Routing This is static route feature. You are equipped with the capability to control the routing of all the traffic across your network. With each routing rule created, user can specifically assign the destination where the traffic will be routed to. Index: Item number Destination IP Address: IP address of the destination network Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of destination network. Gateway IP Address: IP address of the gateway or existing interface that this route uses. Metric: It represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. Interface: Media/channel selected to append the route. Edit: Edit the route; this icon is not shown for system default route. Drop: Drop the route; this icon is not shown for system default route. Add Route Destination IP Address: This is the destination subnet IP address. Destination Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of destination network. Gateway IP Address/Interface: This is the gateway IP address or existing interface to which packets are to be forwarded. Metric: It represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. NAT The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature transforms a private IP into a public IP, allowing multiple users to access the internet through a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. NAT break the originally envisioned model of IP end-to-end connectivity across the internet so NAT can cause problems where IPSec/ PPTP encryption is applied or some application layer protocols such as SIP phones are located behind a NAT. And NAT makes it difficult for systems behind a NAT to accept incoming communications. In this session, there are “VPN Passthrough”, “SIP ALG”, “DMZ” and “Virtual Server” provided to solve these nasty problems. NAT Status: Enabled. It depends on ISP Connection Type in Internet settings. VPN Passthrough: VPN pass-through is a feature of routers which allows VPN client on a private network to establish outbound VPNs unhindered. SIP ALG: Enable the SIP ALG when SIP phone needs ALG to pass through the NAT. Disable the SIP ALG when SIP phone includes NAT-Traversal algorithm. Interface: Select to set DMZ/Virtual Server for “3G/4G-LTE” or “EWAN”. Click DMZ or Virtual Server to move on to set the DMZ or Virtual Server parameters, which are represented in the following scenario. DMZ NOTE: This feature disables automatically if WAN connection is in BRIDGE mode. The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets will be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms then passed to the DMZ host, when a packet received does not use a port number used by any other Virtual Server entries. DMZ for: Indicate the related WAN interface which allows outside network to connect in and communicate. DMZ: Enabled: It activates your DMZ function. Disabled: It disables the DMZ function. DMZ Host IP Address: Give a static IP address to the DMZ Host when Enabled radio button is checked. Be aware that this IP will be exposed to the WAN/Internet. Select the Save button to apply your changes. Virtual Server NOTE: This feature disables automatically if WAN connection is in BRIDGE mode. The device can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP services via the public (WAN) IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN network. Depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the device redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. Virtual Server for: Indicate the related WAN interface which allows outside network to connect in and communicate. Protocol: Choose the application protocol. Start / End Port Number: Enter a port or port range you want to forward. (Example: Start / End: 21 or Start: 1000, End: 2000). The starting greater than zero (0) and the ending port must be the same or larger than the starting port. Local IP Address: Enter your local server IP address in this field. Start / End Port Number (Local): Enter the start / end port number of the local application (service). Examples of well-known and registered port numbers are shown below. For further information, please see IANA’s website at http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers Well-known and Registered Ports Port Number 21 22 23 25 53 69 80 110 443 1503 1720 7070 Protocol TCP TCP & UDP TCP TCP TCP & UDP UDP TCP TCP TCP & UDP TCP TCP UDP Description FTP Control SSH Remote Login Protocol Telnet SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) DNS (Domain Name Server) TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) World Wide Web HTTP POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) HTTPS T.120 H.323 RealAudio Using port forwarding does have security implications, as outside users will be able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires, instead of using DMZ. As doing so will result in all connections from the WAN attempt to access to your public IP of the DMZ PC specified. Attention If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server function will hence be invalid. If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router. Example : How to setup Port Forwarding for port 21 (FTP server) If you have a FTP server in your LAN network and want others to access it through WAN. Step 1: Assign a static IP to your local computer that is hosting the FTP server. Step 2: Login to the Gateway and go to Configuration / Advanced Setup / NAT / Virtual Server. FTP server uses TCP protocol with port 21. Enter ”21” to Start and End Port Number. MX-1000 will accept port 21 requests from WAN side. Eneter the static IP assiged to the local PC that is hosting the FTP server. Ex: 192.168.1.110 Enter ”21” to Local Start and End Port number. MX-1000 will forward port 21 request from WAN to the specific LAN PC (ex:192.168.1.110) in the network. Step 3: Click Save to save settings. Static DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide. An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the phone book for the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, the domain name www.example.com can be translated into the addresses 192.0.32.10 (IPv4). IP Address: The IP address you are going to give a specific domain name. Domain Name: The friendly domain name for the IP address. Press Save button to apply your settings. Time Schedule The Time Schedule supports up to 16 timeslots which helps you to manage your Internet connection. In each time profile, you may schedule specific day(s) i.e. Monday through Sunday to restrict or allowing the usage of the Internet by users or applications. This Time Schedule correlates closely with router’s time, since router does not have a real time clock on board; it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server from the Internet. Rule Index: The rule index (0-15) for identifying each timeslot. Rule Name: User-defined identification for each time period. Day of Week: Mon. to Sun. Specify the time interval for each timeslot from “Day of Week”. Start Time: The starting point of the interval for the timeslot, anytime in 00:00 – 24:00. End Time: The ending point of the interval for the timeslot, anytime in 00:00 – 24:00. For example, user can add a timeslot named “TimeSlot1” which features a period from 9:00 of Saturday to 18:00 of Sunday. Another TimeSlot2 spanning from 09:00 to 18:00 of Wednesday Mail Alert Mail alert is designed to keep system administrator or other relevant personnel alerted of any unexpected events that might have occurred to the network computers or server for monitoring efficiency. With this alert system, appropriate solutions may be tackled to fix problems that may have arisen so that the server can be properly maintained. SMTP Server: Enter the SMTP server that you would like to use for sending emails. Username: Enter the username of your email account to be used by the SMTP server. Password: Enter the password of your email account. Sender’s Email: Enter your email address. SSL/TLS: Check to whether to enable SSL encryption feature. Port: the port, default is 25. Account Test: Press this button to test the connectivity and feasibility to your sender’s e-mail. Recipient’s Email (WAN IP Change Alert): Enter the email address that will receive the alert message once a WAN IP change has been detected. Recipient’s Email (3G/LTE Usage Allowance): Enter the email address that will receive the alert message once the 3G over Usage Allowance occurs. Remote System Log Remote System Log is designed to keep remote administrators informed of the system-operating information. Administrator can set up a remote system log server for receiving and monitoring the system information by enabling remote system log feature on the router. Remote System Log: Select whether to activate “Remote System Log”. Server IP Address: Enter the remote syslog server IP address. Server UDP Port: Enter the UDP port of the remote syslog server. VPN A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a private network that interconnects remote (and often geographically separate) networks through primarily public communication infrastructures such as the Internet. VPNs provide security through tunneling protocols and security procedures such as encryption. For example, a VPN could be used to securely connect the branch offices of an organization to a head office network through the public Internet. MX-1000 supports IPSec, PPTP, L2TP, GRE for enterprise users. IPSec Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a protocol suite for securing Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPsec also includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to be used during the session. IPSec is an end-to-end security scheme operating in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite. It can be used in protecting data flows between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), or between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host). A total of 8 IPSec tunnels can be added. Click Add New Connection to create IPSec connections. IPSec Connection Setting Connection Name: A given name for the connection (e.g. “connection to office”). Active: Select Yes to activate the tunnel. Interface: Select the set used interface for the IPSec connection, when you select 3G/4G-LTE interface, the IPSec tunnel would via this interface to connect to the remote peer. Remote Gateway IP: The WAN IP address of the remote VPN gateway that is to be connected, establishing a VPN tunnel. Local Access Range: Set the IP address or subnet of the local network. Single IP: The IP address of the local host, for establishing an IPSec connection between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host). Subnet: The subnet of the local network, for establishing an IPSec tunnel between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network) Remote Access Range: Set the IP address or subnet of the remote network. Single IP: The IP address of the local host, for establishing an IPSec connection between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host). If the remote peer is a host, select Single Address. Subnet: The subnet of the local network, for establishing an IPSec tunnel between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), If the remote peer is a network, select Subnet. IPSec Phase 1(IKE) IKE Mode: IKE, Internet Key Exchange, is the mechanism to negotiate and exchange parameters and keys between IPSec peers to establish security associations(SA). Select Main or Aggressive mode. Pre-Shared Key: This is for the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, a string from 4 to 128 characters. Both sides should use the same key. IKE is used to establish a shared security policy and authenticated keys for services (such as IPSec) that require a key. Before any IPSec traffic can be passed, each router must be able to verify the identity of its peer. This can be done by manually entering the pre-shared key into both sides (router or hosts). Local ID Type and Remote ID Type: When the mode of IKE is aggressive, Local and Remote peers can be identified by other IDs. IDContent: Enter IDContent the name you want to identify when the Local and Remote Type are Domain Name; Enter IDContent IP address you want to identify when the Local and Remote Type are IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6 supported). Encryption Algorithm: Select the encryption algorithm from the drop-down menu. There are several options: DES and AES (128, 192 and 256). 3DES and AES are more powerful but increase latency. DES: Stands for Data Encryption Standard, it uses 56 bits as an encryption method. 3DES: Stands for Triple Data Encryption Standard, it uses 168 (56*3) bits as an encryption method. AES: Stands for Advanced Encryption Standards, you can use 128, 192 or 256 bits as encryption method. Authentication Algorithm: Authentication establishes the integrity of the datagram and ensures it is not tampered with in transmission. There are 3 options: Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA1, SHA256). SHA1 is more resistant to brute-force attacks than MD5. However, it is slower. MD5: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128−bit hash. SHA1: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 160−bit hash. Diffle-Hellman Group: It is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared secret over an unsecured communication channel (i.e. over the Internet). MODP stands for Modular Exponentiation Groups. IPSec Phase 2(IPSec) IPSec Proposal: Select the IPSec security method. There are two methods of verifying the authentication information, AH(Authentication Header) and ESP(Encapsulating Security Payload). Use ESP for greater security so that data will be encrypted and the data origin be authenticated but using AH data origin will only be authenticated but not encrypted. Authentication Algorithm: Authentication establishes the integrity of the datagram and ensures it is not tampered with in transmission. There are 3 options: Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA1, SHA256). SHA1 is more resistant to brute-force attacks than MD5. However, it is slower. MD5: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128−bit hash. SHA1: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 160−bit hash.

AES: Stands for Advanced Encryption Standards, you can use 128, 192 or 256 bits as encryption method. Perfect Forward Secrecy: It is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared secret over an unsecured communication channel (i.e. over the Internet). MODP stands for Modular Exponentiation Groups. IPSec SA Lifetime SA Lifetime: Specify the number of minutes that a Security Association (SA) will stay active before new encryption and authentication key will be exchanged. There are two kinds of SAs, IKE and IPSec. IKE negotiates and establishes SA on behalf of IPSec, an IKE SA is used by IKE. Phase 1 (IKE): To issue an initial connection request for a new VPN tunnel. The range can be from 5 to 15,000 minutes, and the default is 480 minutes. Phase 2 (IPSec): To negotiate and establish secure authentication. The range can be from 5 to 15,000 minutes, and the default is 60 minutes. A short SA time increases security by forcing the two parties to update the keys. However, every time the VPN tunnel re-negotiates, access through the tunnel will be temporarily disconnected. IPSec Conneciton Keep Alvie Keep Alive: None: The default setting is None. To this mode, it will not detect the remote IPSec peer has been lost or not. It only follows the policy of Disconnection time after no traffic, which the remote IPSec will be disconnected after the time you set in this function. PING: This mode will detect the remote IPSec peer has lost or not by pinging specify IP address. DPD: Dead peer detection (DPD) is a keeping alive mechanism that enables the router to be detected lively when the connection between the router and a remote IPSec peer has lost. Please be noted, it must be enabled on the both sites. PING to the IP: It is able to IP Ping the remote PC with the specified IP address and alert when the connection fails. Once alter message is received, Router will drop this tunnel connection. Reestablish of this connection is required. Default setting is 0.0.0.0 which disables the function Interval: This sets the time interval between Pings to the IP function to monitor the connection status. Default interval setting is 10 seconds. Time interval can be set from 0 to 3600 second, 0 second disables the function. Ping to the IP Interval (sec) 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (A valid IP Address) 2000 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(A valid IP Address) 2000 Ping to the IP Action No No No Yes, activate it in every 2000 second. Disconnection Time after No Traffic: It is the NO Response time clock. When no traffic stage time is beyond the Disconnection time set, Router will automatically halt the tunnel connection and re-establish it base on the Reconnection Time set. 180 seconds is minimum time interval for this function. Reconnection Time: It is the reconnecting time interval after NO TRAFFIC is initiated. 3 minutes is minimum time interval for this function. Click SAVE to submit the settings.

Keepalive Retry Times: Set the keepalive retry times, default is 3. Keepalive Interval: Set the keepalive Interval, unit in seconds. Default is 5 seconds. MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. Active as Default Route: Select if to set the GRE tunnel as the default route. Access Management Access Management equipments the users with the ability of maintaining the access management, including Device Management, SNMP, Universal Plug & Play, Dynamic DNS, Access Control, Packet Filter, CWMP(TR-069), Parental Control, and SAMBA & FTP Server. Device Management Device management offers users a way to change the embedded web server accessing port, default 80. User can change the http port to 8080 or something else here. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. MX-1000 serves as a SNMP agent which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the router through the network. SNMP: Select to enable SNMP feature. Get Community: Type the Get Community, which is the password for the incoming Get-and-GetNext requests from the management station. Set Community: Type the Set Community, which is the password for incoming Set requests from the management station. Trap Manager IP: Enter the IP of the server receiving the trap message (when some exception occurs) sent by this SNMP agent. SNMPv3: Enable to activate the SNMPv3. Username: Enter the name allowed to access the SNMP agent. Access Permissions: Set the access permissions for the user; RO--read only and RW--read and writer. Authentication Protocol: Select the authentication protocol, MD5 and SHA. SNMP agent can communicate with the manager station through authentication and encryption to secure the message exchange. Set the authentication and encryption information here and below. Authentication Key: Set the authentication key, 8-31 characters. Privacy Protocol: Select the privacy mode, DES and AES. Privacy Key: Set the privacy key, 8-31 characters. Universal Plug & Play UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device. Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition to the router. Windows XP and Windows ME natively support UPnP (when the component is installed), and Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing client from Windows XP in order to support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP. UPnP: Select this checkbox to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a UPnP application to open the web configuration’s login screen without entering the MX-1000 IP address. Auto-configured: Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the MX-1000 so that they can communicate through the gateway, for example by using NAT traversal, UPnP applications automatically reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to communicate with another UPnP enabled device; this eliminates the need to manually configure port forwarding for the UPnP enabled application. Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your internet connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP. Here users can register different WAN interfaces with different DNS(es). But note that first users have to go to the Dynamic DNS registration service provider to register an account. Dynamic DNS: Select this check box to activate Dynamic DNS. Service Provider: Select from drop-down menu for the appropriate service provider, for example: www.dyndns.org. My Host Name: Type the domain name assigned to your router by your Dynamic DNS provider. Username: Type your user name. Password: Type the password. Wildcard support: Select this check box to enable DYNDNS Wildcard. Period: Set the time period between updates, for the Router to exchange information with the DDNS server. In addition to updating periodically as per your settings, the router will perform an update when your dynamic IP address changes. Example: How to register a DDNS account Note first users have to go to the Dynamic DNS registration service provider to register an account. User test1 register a Dynamic Domain Names in DDNS provider http://www.dyndns.org/ . DDNS: www.hometest.com using username/password test/test Access Control Access Control Listing allows you to determine which services/protocols can access MX-1000 interface from which computers. It is a management tool aimed to allow IPs (set in secure IP address) to access specified embedded applications (Web, etc, user can set) through some specified interface (LAN, WAN or both). User can have an elaborate understanding in the examples below. The maximum number of entries is 16. Access Control: Select whether to make Access Control function available. Rule Index: This is item number Active: Select to activate the rule. Secure IP Address: The default 0.0.0.0 allows any client to use this service to manage the gateway.

CWMP (TR-069) CWMP, short for CPE WAN Management Protocol, also called TR069 is a Broadband Forum technical specification entitled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices. It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices. As a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP based protocol it can provides the communication between customer premises equipment (CPE) and Auto Configuration Server (ACS). It includes both a safe configuration and the control of other CPE management functions within an integrated framework. In the course of the booming broadband market, the number of different internet access possibilities grew as well (e.g. modems, routers, gateways, set-top box, VoIP-phones).At the same time the configuration of this equipment became more complicated –too complicated for end-users. For this reason, TR-069 was developed. It provides the possibility of auto configuration of the access types. Using TR-069 the terminals can get in contact with the Auto Configuration Servers (ACS) and establish the configuration automatically and let ACS configure CPE automatically. CWMP: Select activated to enable CWMP. ACS Login Information URL: Enter the ACS server login URL. User Name: Specify the ACS User Name for ACS authentication to the connection from CPE. Password: Enter the ACS server login password. Connection Request Information Path: Local path in HTTP URL for an ACS to make a Connection Request notification to the CPE.
