LANs and WANs
Your DIR-430 is a network device that connects two networks; Local Area
Network (LAN) (the group of PCs in your home or office) and the Wide Area
Network (WAN), that is, the Internet. The Gateway processes and regulates the
data that travels between these two networks.
ȱ
Your DIR-430 is "equipped" with firewall software that protects your local area
network of PCs so that users on the Internet cannot hack into your PCs, hence
keeps your local PCs secure. The DIR-430 protects your network by inspecting
the first packet coming in through the WAN connection before delivery to the final
destination on Local PCs. The DIR-430 inspects Internet port services like the web
server, ftp server, or other Internet applications, and, if allowed, it will forward
the packet to the appropriate PC on the LAN side.
DIR-430 ports connect to two sides: your 10/100 LAN ports and the Internet WAN
port. The WAN and LAN ports can transmit data at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.

Static & Dynamic IP Addresses
IP stands for Internet Protocol. All IP based network devices like PCs, print
servers, Gateways, and routers have IP addresses that are independent of the
type of network interface. The IP address denotes the identity of the device on
the IP networks, both LAN and WAN. IP addresses can be assigned manually to a
device, or dynamically through a central server.
Static IP address is a fixed, and manually assigned to a PC or any other device
on the network. They retain their address until you change it. This type of
addressing is useful especially for the hosts/routers/Gateways that offer services
(Web, FTP, printer), and you may want to access them using their known static IP
address. If your ISP provides with static IP address, please use the static IP
settings for the Internet Access Connection Mode.
Dynamic IP address is assigned for temporary usage, issued by a server (DHCP
Server can be PC, Gateway or any other network service) in the network. The IP
address obtained this way is not guaranteed to be constant. After a certain time
period, they expire and may change. The DHCP server is notified of the expiry,
and may assign the same or different IP address to a network device. This is used
in the cases; where there is a constraint on the number of IP addresses, or to
reduce the configuration on the network devices and keeping the IP addressing
configuration centrally located.
For DSL connections, many ISPs may require you to log on with a user name and
password to have access to the Internet. The technology used is Point-to-Point
Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), which is similar to (PPP) dial-up connection, with
no telephone number dialling involved, provides dynamic IP address.
Firewall – Its need
With a rapid growth in the Internet around the world, and because of its open
nature of the Internet Protocol standard, network security has become a major
concern to the companies around the world. Once you are connected to the
Internet, you are physically connecting your network to few thousands of
unknown networks and their users. This enables all the Internet users around the
world to share the information. But the idea opens up the possibility of
confidential information being leaked out to Internet users who are involved in
unlawful activities.
There are various types of attacks on the Internet; few for example, Denial-ofservice attacks, SMURF, SYN flooding, ping of death attacks, Application layer
attacks. To protect a private network from all these type of attacks, firewall came
into existence. Your RGS Pro Gateway has firewall that provides a single point of
defence between two networks and can secure your Local Network.

Chapter 3 Connecting the DIR-430
Overview
DIR-430 setup requires little more than Hub or Switch setup. PCs on your local
network should be configured to obtain an IP address (or TCP/IP address) from
the DIR-430 (the DIR-430 also needs to get an IP address). Please consult your
Internet Service provider (ISP) for the method used in getting IP address for the
DIR-430.
Connecting Hardware together and booting up
1. Make sure you power down all of your hardware including the DIR-430, PCs,
hubs, switches and cable or DSL modem.
2. As in figure 3-1, Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to one
of the LAN ports (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4) on the back of the
Gateway, and the other end to a standard port on a network
device, e.g., a PC, Laptop, hub or switch.
Figureȱ3Ȭ1ȱ
Repeat the above step to connect more PCs or Network devices to the Gateway.
3. Connect the Internet Cable from your cable or DSL modem to
the DIR-430 WAN port on the back panel, as shown in the figure
3-2. This is the only port that will work for your cable/DSL
modem connection.
Figureȱ3Ȭ2ȱȱȱȱȱȱȱ
4. Connect the power adapter to the Power port on the back
panel of the DIR-430, and then plug the power adapter into a
power outlet as shown in the figure 3-3.
The Power LED should illuminate indicating a proper connection
to power.
If the Power LED fails to illuminate check the
connection.
5. Turn on the cable or DSL modem and PC or switch.
The DIR-430 hardware installation is now complete.

Prioritization
Prioritization will streamline traffic bound for the Internet based on configurations
made in the Network Filter Section (within the Advanced Configuration Menu). In
order for Prioritization to work properly you must know the Uplink Bandwidth of
your ISP connection. Prioritization may be enabled or disabled on the WAN page.
MAC cloning settings
Some times, the Internet Service provider requires your PC and its hardware
address to be registered with their network. Typically, they provide with an
installation CD with software to be installed on your PC. ISP once registers the
MAC address, allows the Internet access only to the computer with the hardware
address (MAC) it registered. To make ISP transparent about your DIR-430, you
have to clone your PC's MAC address on to your DIR-430. This allows the DIR-430
to use cloned MAC address to communicate to ISP.
Internet Connection Settings
The DIR-430 allows you to access the Internet in four different ways: DHCP,
Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP protocols as shown in below. DHCP is the default protocol
for the DIR-430 to access the Internet.
Connectivity to the Internet may be disabled on the WAN page (if connected).

DHCP client
If the option selected is DHCP client, the DIR-430 tries to get the IP address
automatically from the Internet. This requires a DHCP Server running on the
network connected to your Internet Port.
You should not disturb the
configuration while the progress bar is displayed on your browser.
Once successful, your quick setup is complete. You are ready to use the Gateway.
Proceed to Advanced Configuration section in this document for custom control
over the Gateway.
Once DHCP client successfully receives the IP address from the ISP, the HTML
configuration displays IP address information as shown in the following image.
Insert pic here
In case the Gateway fails to get an IP address, it shows an error on the screen.
You may press User->Add New Reference->File Server”, then
he/she has to add the server entry first in this table and use the “Click here to
add the reference manually” link provided in the “File Servers” page to add a
new reference.
To create a manual reference, click on “Add New Entry” hyper link. Enter the Host
name/IP Address for the server name and username/password to login to the
server while creating a new entry. For servers, which do not require any
username/password to login, those fields can be left empty, a default
username/password as anonymous will be used in such cases.
You can modify the username/password information of a server at any point of
time by clicking on modify button, and it will be effective immediately.
You can delete the server by clicking on the delete button.
ȱ
Before deleting the server, you have to delete all references which are created
based on this server.
Selecting a server from the list of File servers under
Manage Views adds the server to the server list.

Manage Views
A User’s View represents the collection of all resources presented or accessible to
a single user of the portal. In the DIR-430, a default user exists with the name
“guest”. The Administrator is allowed to configure access for the guest user which
can be accessed by anyone connecting to the DIR-430.
Administrator can configure the views for any user by clicking on the Manage
Views under the User Portal tab. Here a list of all the users will be displayed as
shown below, we have to select a user first and then click on the Manage View
button to configure the views for that user. A view created for a user will be solely
applicable for that particular user (although the administrator has the provision to
copy the same view to another user).
You can delete all references and albums of the user by clicking on the delete
link, associated with the username. This operation will also delete the desktop
references of that user.
There are five sections in Manage Views page - Blogs, Photos, Videos, Music and
folders. In any section, one has to create a category first and then references
under the category. These categories are like Albums and references within that
category are like photos in an album. You can create any number of Categories
and within each category you can have any number of references.

If the server you are looking for is listed in the list of File Servers you can simply
select the server and navigate to the respective folder to create the reference. If
the
server
is
not

Servers
then
click
on,
”Click here to add a reference manually” hyperlink on the File servers page,
shown previously.
Some of the possible reasons why the server, which is connected to the
network, is not listed in the list of File Servers are
1. The DIR-430, enumerates/queries for the list of all the servers, which
support File Sharing for every 1-minute. There could be a possibility that
when the query happened the PC was not connected to the LAN or must
have been shutdown. Correct the problem in such cases and please wait for
sometime, so that the system will be displayed in the File Servers.
ȱ
2. It could be a Linux PC running samba, which is a member of some
workgroup, in which there is no other windows machine belonging to the
same workgroup.
3. “Client for Microsoft Networks” should be installed for the Network interface
in the Windows PC.
4. If any Firewall software is running on the Windows/Linux PC’s you have to
make sure that port numbers 137/138/139 are allowed. Otherwise the
server will not be displayed in the File Servers page.

Appendix B: Glossary
Adapter – Electronic circuitry that converts one form of input to a different form
of output so that it fits for your PC or Gateway. Examples are Power Adapter,
Ethernet Adapter, and DSL Adapter.
Backbone – The part of a network that connects many systems and networks
and handles high volume of data.
Bit – binary digit with values 0 or 1 in the binary numbering system.
Boot – When your Gateway or PC is powered on, the built-in instructions in a
ROM chip that are automatically executed to search and load operating system
and pass control to it.
Bridge – A device that provides connectivity between different networks.
Broadband Connection – Media that offers higher bandwidth that has capability
to allow voice, video and data transmission. Now a days, Cable television network
and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) do offer residential broadband connections.
Browser - A browser is an application program that allows the user to browse
through the web pages on your PC. For example, the browser can be used to look
at web (html, shtml, xml) pages and download files that are available using FTP.
Cable Modem – A device that connects a computer to its Ethernet port and then
to Internet through the Cable TV network. Once connected, cable modem users
have a continuous connection to the Internet. Cable modems support bandwidth
of 36 Mbps downstream (from the Internet to the computer), and from 200 Kbps
to 2 Mbps upstream (from the computer to the Internet).
CAT 5 cable – ANSI/EIA (American National Standards Institute/Electronic
Industries Association) Standard 568 is one of standards that specify
"CATegories" of twisted pair cabling systems (wires, junctions, and connectors) in
terms of the data rates that they can sustain. CAT 5 cable has a maximum
throughput of 100 Mbps and is usually utilized for 100BaseTX networks.
Data Packet – It is a collection of bits sent over a network at once. For example,
an Ethernet packet can be from 64 to 1518 bytes in length.
DDNS – Dynamic Domain Name System allows a network device with a dynamic
Internet IP address to have a fixed host and domain name, such as
abcd.mydomain.com. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP
server, or other server behind a router, so people can find your site no matter
how often the Internet IP address changes. Using DDNS requires registering with
a DDNS service provider on the Internet.
Default Gateway – The routing device used to forward all traffic that is not
addressed to a station within the local subnet.
Denial of Service – When an attacker floods packets continuously to occupy the
network bandwidth, your PC will not be able to respond to any other service
requests. This leads to Denial of Service. The attack is called Denial of Service
attack.
DES – Data Encryption Standard, a standard by which sender and receiver use a
shared secret key to encrypt or decrypt the data. The key length used is 56-bits
in this standard.

DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. All hosts/gateways that are in the
network need to have an IP address to communicate. Without this protocol, you
have to manually specify the IP address in a host/gateway. This protocol allows
all IP address assignments to be centralized and automate the assignment of
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization’s network. The User of a
DHCP server can configure the lease time of an IP address to be used by a DHCP
client. It also supports static IP address assignment for fixed hosts/gateways if
they run application servers.
DMZ (De Militarized Zone) - Allows one IP address (or computer) to be
exposed to the Internet. Some applications require multiple TCP/IP ports to be
open. It is recommended that you set your computer with a static IP address if
you want to use DMZ Hosting.
DNS – Domain Name System maps the domain name against an IP address.
People remember meaningful domain names easily than the IP address that is in
the form of numbers.
Domain – A sub network comprised of a group of clients and servers under the
control of one security database. Dividing LANs into domains improves
performance and security.
Download – Receive the file from the network.
DSL – Digital Subscriber Line, Your telephone line is used as a digital carrier that
can allow both data and your normal telephone. DSL can be always be powered
on. It need not be dialed every time you are trying to connect to Internet.
Daylight saving time (DST) - time observed when clocks and other timepieces
are set ahead so that the sun will rise and set later in the day. The amount of
daylight on a given day of the year at given latitude is fixed, but over the year the
hours of sunrise and sunset vary from day to day. During the summer months,
the sun rises earlier and sets later and there are more hours of daylight. If clocks
and other timepieces are set ahead in the spring by some amount (usually one
hour), the sun will rise and set later in the day as measured by those clocks.
Dynamic IP Address - An IP address that is automatically assigned to a client
station in a TCP/IP network, typically by a DHCP server. Network devices that
offer services like web, printer do not generally use DHCP. They are assigned with
static IP addresses.
Encryption – A security method that applies a specific algorithm to data in order
to alter the data's appearance and prevent other devices from reading the
information.
Ethernet - Supports 10 Mbps speed, this IEEE standard network protocol
specifies how data is placed on and retrieved from a common transmission
medium. This is the physical carrier for all TCP/IP protocol and its application
messages.
Fast Ethernet – Same as Ethernet but supports 100 Mbps speed. Fast Ethernet
uses CSMA/CD network access method.
Firewall – A firewall can be a software/hardware device that is located as
network gateway to protect your private network from the attacks that can
happen in the public Internet. It examines each packet to determine whether to
forward it towards its destination.
Pageȱ97ȱofȱ103ȱ

Firmware – Binary code that is written onto read-only memory (ROM) or
programmable read-only memory (PROM). Once firmware has been written onto
the ROM or PROM, it is retained even when the device is turned off.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) – Protocol used to transfer the files across the
TCP/IP network. For example, placing the files on to a web server uses FTP
protocol.
Full Duplex – A device is capable of full duplex when it can send data
simultaneously in both directions.
FQDN - A fully qualified domain name consists of a host and domain name,
including top-level domain. For example, www.yahoo.com is a fully qualified
domain name. www is the host, yahoo is the second-level domain, and.com is the
top level domain.
Gateway – Device that can connect two different networks supporting two
different communication protocols.
Half Duplex – A device is capable of half duplex when it can send data in both
directions, but not simultaneously.
Hardware – All electronic component that are visible physically. Example,
Electronic circuit boards in PCs, Gateway.
Hop - The link between two network elements.
HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) – Protocol that allows web pages to be
transferred over the Internet.
ISP (Internet Service provider) - A company that offers internet access,
services such as web site building, virtual hosting to individuals and companies.
LAN (Local Area Network) – A group of computers/gateways/routers
connected that can communicate each other in a small geographic area.
MAC (Media Access Control) – Every Ethernet networking device such as
network adapter will be assigned with a unique number so that they can
communicate.
MD5 – A type of one-way authentication scheme that uses passwords. The
password is hashed and sent over the network so that only the sender and
authenticator know about it. It is not very secure authentication mechanism when
compared to others like EAP-TLS or EAP/TTLS.
NAT (Network Address Translation) – IP Address is translated for two
purposes by a Gateway that connects two networks. One reason is to save
number of IP addresses on one side, the other, to hide the internal IP addresses
of the hosts. In the case of NAT, when the traffic is generated from your private
network to public Internet, the source IP address of the packet generated will be
transformed to the public address of your Gateway. The end user receiving the
traffic perceives the packet to be generated by your Gateway.
Network Mask – Look at Subnet Mask.
Packet – A unit of data routed from an origin to its destination in a network.
Packet Filtering – Discarding unwanted network traffic based on its originating
address or range of addresses or its type (e-mail, file transfer, etc.).
Ping (Packet INternet Groper) – Utility used at the network elements (PCs,
routers) to determine whether a particular IP address is reachable and its delay to
reach that network element.
Pageȱ98ȱofȱ103ȱ
DIR-430 RangeBooster G Wireless Router User’s Guide

Plug-n-Play – When a device or an expansion board is attached to a computer
system they should be running without rebooting your computer system.
Port – A physical male or female sockets that can be hooked for plugging in
communication lines, modems and printers.
PPP (Point to Point Protocol) - Protocol that is used by your dial-up modem
for your PC to connect to the Internet. PPP protocol runs between dial-up modem
and ISP. Once PPP connection is established, your PC gets Internet connectivity.
PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) – It is a method that
encapsulates PPP packets over Ethernet frames from the user to the ISP over the
Internet. PPPoE is preferable by ISPs because it provides authentication
(username and password) in addition to data transport. A PPPoE session can be
initiated by either a client application residing on a PC, or by client firmware
residing on a modem or router.
PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) – The protocol defines the tunneling
service in IP network to carry PPP protocol messages. One example of a tunneling
service is secure access from a remote small office network to a headquarters
corporate intranet via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) that traverses the Internet.
They can also be used for residential purposes.
RJ – 45 (Registered Jack – 45) - A connector used for connecting Ethernet
devices that holds up to eight wires.
Reverse Network Address Translation – When an Internet user tries to
access a service at your Router/Gateway, the request made by the Internet user
will be forwarded to an internal machine that serves the request. This is achieved
by translating the destination IP address of the packet to private Local IP address
of the PC where service is offered. This operation is exactly reverse of the NAT
operation.
Router – Device that routes the packets across various sub networks that are
attached to. It helps in managing the large networks in to smaller ones. They
operate at IP layer of TCP/IP protocol suite.
Security Association – These are the parameters to be set for having a VPN
tunnel.
Server – A computer that services the users on a network, may be to access
files, web pages, printing.
Software – It is a series of instructions that control the behavior of the computer
and its hardware.
Stateful Packet Inspection – Firewall that monitors the state of the transaction
for the internal hosts. It looks at the internals of the packet and adjusts the
firewall policies automatically based on the state but specific to the port
requested/required. Hence this is more secured than the static packet filters
which are not intelligent of states of transactions.
Static IP Address – Permanent IP address that is assigned to a host/router in
an IP or TCP/IP network.
Switch – Device that connects host computers, large number of devices to share
a limited number of ports. 2. It helps users to make, break, and change the
connections physically on an electric circuit.

Subnet Mask – The method used for dividing IP networks into small networks
called subnets. The division is determined by a binary pattern (called mask).
Based on this mask (subnet mask), IP addresses of the hosts in that subnet can
be assigned.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - A setup of rules used to transmit data
along with the IP (Internet Protocol) to split the data to be transmitted into small
pieces. TCP creates connections with its peer to send the data. The protocol
offers reliability of the packet transmission and adds delay in the network.
Applications that assume unreliable networks generally use TCP.
TCP/IP – (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) Set of protocols for
communications over a network developed specifically for the Internet. TCP/IP
defines a suite or group of protocols that involves many protocols like ICMP, RIP,
DHCP, etc.
Throughput – The data sent successfully through the Internet in a given time
period.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) A setup of rules used to transmit data
along with the IP (Internet Protocol) to split the data to be transmitted into small
pieces (called datagrams). UDP does not create a connection with its peer to
send the data. Hence it is “connection-less”, unreliable, but faster because there
is no connection setup delay.
Upgrade – To replace the firmware version of the DIR-430 with a newer version.
URL (Universal Resource Locator) - It is the address that defines the route to
a file on the Web or any other Internet resource. These can be accessed through
typing the URLs in to the browser, or by clicking the hyperlinks on the existing
web pages on the browser.
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) – VoIP is a technology that makes use of
your existing Internet connection instead of normal PSTN. When you connect your
telephone on your RGS Gateway, the voice gets converted into digital
information, which will be transmitted on the Internet. At the receiver’s end, the
reverse operation is performed.
VPN (Virtual Private Network) - A technology with which hosts communicate
over public communication networks by creating private communication channels
called tunnels. This is mostly achieved through encrypting the traffic at the
originating point and decrypting the traffic at the destination point. Examples of
VPN technology are, PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol), L2TP (Layer 2
Tunneling Protocol), IPSec (Internet Protocol Security).
VPN end point – A host connected to a router (or the router itself for the router
related data traffic) has the ability to establish a VPN tunnel to some other host
supporting VPN.
WAN (Wide Area Network) - Networks that cover communication over a large
geographic area. These are through public networks like telephone (DSL) or cable
Networks, through leased lines or satellites. Internet is a Wide Area Network.
