Basic Installation
12
BEC MX-200 User Manual
CHAPTER 3: BASIC INSTALLATION
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard
application in the following operating systems: Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8, Linux, Mac OS, etc. The
product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly
or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed or configured to obtain an IP address
through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The
default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any
attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically
from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it
may also be advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause
problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should make their own
decisions on how to best protect their network.
Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please check
your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be
installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with
or through the MX-200. To configure other types of workstations,
please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.

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
Device Configuration

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 (seconds): 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

Connectivity Decision & Probe Cycle: Set a number of times and time in seconds to determine
when to switch to the backup link (WAN2) when primary link (WAN1) fails and vise versa.
Example, Auto failover takes place after straight 3 consecutive failures in every 30 seconds meaning
all traffic will hand over to backup link (WAN2) after primary link fails to response in total of 90 seconds,
30 seconds for 3 consecutive failures.
Note: Failover and Failback follow the same Connectivity Decision & Probe Cycle rule to failover from WAN1 to WAN2
or fallback from WAN2 to WAN1.

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.
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.

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 Connection Keep Alive
Keep Alive:
None: Disable. The system will not detect remote IPSec peer is still alive or lost. The remote
peer will get disconnected after the interval, in seconds, is up.
PING: This mode will detect the remote IPSec peer has lost or not by pinging specify IP

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.
UPnP: Select this checkbox to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use an UPnP application to
open the web configuration’s login screen without entering the MX-200's IP address
Auto-configured: Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically
configure the MX-200 so that they can communicate through the MX-200, 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.

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 Providers.

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.
