Chapter 3 The Web User Interface
The 6xxx gateways have a Wide Area Network (WAN) connection which connects to your
Internet Service Provider (ISP) via a DSL, Ethernet interface, or a 3G connection. The Local Area
Network (LAN) connections are where you plug in your local computers to the gateway. The 6xxx
also has a wireless interface. The gateway is normally configured to automatically provide all the
PCs on your network with Internet addresses.
Your gateway may be pre-configured with your ISP configuration to ease your installation.
Please contact your ISP if you need information on how to connect the gateway to your ISP. To
set up your gateway with a basic configuration required by your service provider, you can use the
Quick Setup form the top of the navigation bar. In order for this to work, all other WAN services
must first be removed. To remove services, from the top navigation bar select Quick Setup.
If you connected a PC (rather than a hub or a switch) directly to the gateway, your LAN consists
of that PC. You may also create connections for various protocol options by creating new
connections.
To configure your device you will first need to log in to the gateway.
Note: Before configuring your gateway, make sure you have followed the instructions in Chapter
2, Hardware Installation and PC Setup on page 30. You should have your PCs configured for
DHCP mode (if your gateway will be), and have proxies disabled on your browser. If you see a
login redirection screen when you access the web interface, verify that JavaScript support is
enabled in your browser. Also, if you do not get the screen shown below, you may need to delete
your temporary Internet files.
Log in to the Gateway
This section explains how to log in to your gateway.
1. Launch your web browser.
2. Enter the URL http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar and press Enter.
A login screen like the one below will be displayed after you connect to the user interface.
3. Enter your user name and password, and then click on OK to display the user interface.
The default admin user name / password is admin / adminXXXXXX, where XXXXXX is the
last six digits of the serial number of the unit; both user name and password are case
sensitive.
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 36
Note: For security reasons you should change your password as soon as possible.
Note: There are three default user name and password combinations; admin, support, and user.
The user / user name and password combination provides limited access to the gateway. With
this password you can view the configuration, run diagnostics, and change the LAN side
configuration such as the WiFi, but you cannot change the WAN configuration.
The support/supportXXXXXX combination allows an ISP technician to access the gateway from
the WAN only to perform maintenance and run diagnostics. The XXXXXX are the last six
digits of the serial number of the unit.
The admin / adminXXXXXX combination can perform all functions.
All passwords are case sensitive and can be changed at any time. For information about password
administration, see Passwords on page 165.

VDSL is a PTM or ATM (ADSL fallback) based technology. The gateway supports Bridging and
Ethernet over ATM (EoA) configurations and ATM based configurations:
Bridging
Bridging (Layer 2 MAC addressing); uses Ethernet frames.
PPPoE
Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet; encapsulates PPP packet in Ethernet. (RFC 2516)
IPoE
IP over Ethernet (Layer 3 Internet Protocol addressing in Ethernet frames)
PPPoA
Point to Point Protocol over ATM, encapsulates PPP frames in ATM adaption layer 5 (AAL5)
packets.
IPoA
IP over ATM (Layer 3 Internet Protocol addressing in AAL5 packets
The table below describes the supported WAN interfaces and services supported on each interface.

The service category selection will be provided by your ISP. The service category defines
five classes of traffic:
UBR Without PCR (Unspecified Bit Rate without Peak Cell Rate)—UBR service is suitable
for applications that can tolerate variable delays and some cell losses. Applications suitable
for UBR service include text/data/image transfer, messaging, distribution, and retrieval and
also for remote terminal applications such as telecommuting.
UBR With PCR (Unspecified Bit Rate with Peak Cell Rate).
• Specify a Peak cell Rate. The Peak cell rate is 1-3442 (cells / sec).
CBR (Constant Bit Rate): used by applications that require a fixed data rate that is
continuously available during the connection time. It is commonly used for
uncompressed audio and video information such as videoconferencing, interactive audio
(telephony), audio / video distribution (e.g. television, distance learning, and pay-per-
view), and audio / video retrieval (e.g. video-on-demand and audio library).
• Specify a Peak cell Rate. The Peak Cell Rate is rate is 1-3442 (cells / sec).
Non Realtime VBR (Non-Real-time Variable Bit Rate): can be used for data transfers
that have critical response-time requirements such as airline reservations, banking
transactions, and process monitoring.
• Specify a Peak cell Rate. The Peak Cell Rate is rate is 1-3442 (cells / sec).
• Sustainable Cell Rate. The maximum Sustainable Cell Rate is rate is 1-3442
(cells / sec).1-3442 (cells / sec).
• Maximum Burst Size. The maximum number of contiguous cells that can be sent
at the Peak Cell Rate. The maximum burst size is 1-1000000 (cells / sec).
Realtime VBR (Real-time Variable Bit Rate)—used by time-sensitive applications such
as real-time video. Rt-VBR service allows the network more flexibility than CBR.
• Specify a Peak cell Rate. The Peak Cell Rate is rate is 1-3442 (cells / sec).
• Sustainable Cell Rate. The maximum Sustainable Cell Rate is rate is 1-3442
(cells / sec).1-3442 (cells / sec).
• Maximum Burst Size. The maximum number of contiguous cells that can be sent
at the Peak Cell Rate. The maximum burst size is 1-1000000 (cells / sec).
If using UBR without PCR, select the IP Quality of Service (QoS) algorithm. The options
are Weighted Round Robin or Weighted Fair Queuing.
8. Select the queuing option, either Weighted Round Robin or Weighted Fair Queuing.
Use the default values unless directed by your ISP to change the values.

Add an Ethernet Layer 2 WAN Interface
You can specify any of the gateway’s Ethernet ports as a WAN interface or LAN interface. In
other words, the GE WAN (ETHWAN) interface may be used as a LAN interface, and any of
LAN1, LAN2, LAN3 and LAN 4 may be used as a WAN interface. Only one of the Ethernet
interfaces may be selected as a WAN interface. All of the other Ethernet interfaces may be use
as LAN interfaces.
1. In the left hand menu pane, click Advanced Setup.
2. Under Advanced Setup, click Layer2 Interface then ETH Interface, then click the Add
button.
3. Select the Ethernet port for the WAN interface.
Normally you would select ETHWAN, the GigE Ethernet port, though one of the LAN ports
could be selected as well.
4. Click Apply/Save to add the appropriate WAN service.
WAN Service
Use the WAN Service page to create a PPPoE, IPoE or Bridging Interface.
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 56
Add a PPPoE WAN Service
1. Add an EoA Layer 2 interface or an Ethernet WAN interface as described above (see Add an
ATM Layer 2 Interface on page 52).
2. Under Advanced Setup click WAN Service then click Add.
3. On the WAN Service Interface Configuration page, select the interface associated with the
PPPOE interface from the drop down, then click Next.
4. On the WAN Service Configuration page, select PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE).
5. Optionally enter a name if you wish to customize the description shown for the service.
6. Optionally specify the 801.1P priority and 802.1Q VLAN tagging parameters, and then click
Next. For untagged service, set the parameter to -1 to both 802.1P and 802.1Q VLAN ID.
By default the 802.1P and 802.1Q values are set to -1, which means that the parameters
are ignored.
7. Specify the address type, IPv4 only or dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6).
The IPv6 option enables IPv6 on the WAN interface. Use only when IPv6 is required.
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 57
8. Click Next.
9. On the PPP Username and Password page you will need the following information:
PPP Username: Your account from ISP to access Internet.
PPP Password: The password assigned by your ISP.
Note: If you set the username/password to default/default, the modem will redirect the
user to a web page within the modem to change their password when they first log on.
PPPoE Service Name: Server name of network ISP. No need to set this.
Authentication Method: Authentication mode of network ISP. Default is AUTO.
MTU: the Maximum transmission unit (MTU) value may be set for your needs. Higher
MTU can provide for a more efficient link because each packet will carry more data while
the overhead in the packet such as header information does not get larger with the size
of the packet. So the bulk throughput on the link will go up. Generally a large packet size
can occupy the time on the link, so the higher MTU can increase lag time and minimum
latency which is not appropriate for all applications.
MTU size can be 576-1492.
Enable KeepAlive:
• KeepAlive Time: The interval in which the PPPoE client will send out keep alive
message to the PPPoE server to keep the PPPoE session up.
• KeepAlive Max Fail: The maximum number of retries the gateway will attempt if the
PPP client encounters an error. For example if the number is 1 the gateway will only
retry once.
Enable NAT: Enables Network Address Translation. See NAT on page 81.
Enable FireWall: Enables Firewall. See Firewall on page 85.
PPP Dial Up Delay Seconds: The number of seconds the gateway will pause before
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 58
attempting PPP authentication. The default (0) means that the gateway will pause a
random number of seconds before attempting authentication. This helps prevents the
PPP server from being flooded with authentication requests after a power shutdown or a
reset.
Limit Retry Time of PPP Password on Authentication Error: Number of times the
gateway should re-attempt PPPoE authentication after a failure. When the Retry Timer is
disabled, the device will keep retrying using the PPP username and password.
NAT Public Address (available if NAT is enabled). Enter 0.0.0.0 to specify that the
device should use pubic IP addresses provided by the network.
Enable Fullcone NAT: RFC 3489 defines four types of Network Address Translation
(NAT). Fullcone NAT. As with other types of NAT there is a mapping from a public IP
address to a private IP address. The external public IP address is extended with the
external port. With Fullcone NAT once the mapping is created any external host may
send packets to the private IP address by sending to the external IP address and port.
Other types of NAT have restrictions such as the sending IP address must initially have
had packets sent from the private IP address and port regardless of the external port, or
from the private IP address and the external port.
Dial on demand: When this mode is selected, the connection that has no traffic within
assigned disconnect timeout (e.g. 1 minute) will be automatically disconnected. The
connection will be activated again when traffic arrives. This function is advantageous for
users who are charged with online time. It should be noted that some programs
automatically link to Internet. Connections will not be disconnected under these data
streams.
• Inactivity Timeout: When Dial on demand is selected, this input box indicates that
after how long the connection will be disconnected in the absence of traffic. If the
value is 0, connection will not be disconnected.
Manual Connect: connect/disconnect PPPoE connection manually
PPP IP extension: Allows only one PC on the LAN. The public IP address assigned by
the remote using the PPP/IPCP protocol is actually not used on the WAN PPP interface.
Instead, it is forwarded to the PC’s LAN interface through DHCP.
Only one PC on the LAN can be connected to the remote since the DHCP server within
the VDSL gateway has only a single IP address to assign to a LAN device. NAT and
firewall are disabled when this option is selected. The VDSL gateway becomes the
default gateway and DNS server to the PC through DHCP using the LAN interface IP
address. The VDSL gateway extends the IP subnet at the remote service provider to the
LAN PC. That is, the PC becomes a host belonging to the same IP subnet. The VDSL
gateway bridges the IP packets between WAN and LAN ports, unless the packet is
addressed to the gateway’s LAN IP address.
MAC Clone: Clicking the Clone the PC MAC Address button will use the MAC address
from the connected PC for the MAC address of the gateway.
Use Static Ipv4 Address: Enter the Static IP V4 address
Enable PPP Debug Mode: Used to debug PPPoE issues. Use only when instructed by
your ISP.
Bridge PPPoE Frames Between WAN and Local Ports: By default the bridge PPPoE
frame between WAN and local ports is on. This allows a PC behind the modem to be the
PPPoE termination point. PPPoE authentication is passed on to the PC instead of to the
gateway. If there are multiple PCs then, each one will have a PPPoE authentication. Note
that this option is not applicable for PPPoA.
Enable IGMP Multicast Proxy: Configures the gateway for IGMP snooping so the
gateway can keep limit multicast traffic.
Enable MLD Multicast Proxy: Configures the gateway to act as a proxy by issuing MLD
host messages for the hosts that have been discovered through MLD interfaces.
Enable MLD Multicast Proxy is for IGMP in IPv6 mode.

• Open: anyone can access the network. The default is a disabled WEP encryption setting.
Shared: WEP encryption is enabled and encryption key strength of 64-bit or 128-bit needs to be
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 135
selected. Click on Set Encryption Keys to manually set the network encryption keys. Up to 4
different keys can be set and you can come back to select which one to use at anytime.
802.1X: requires mutual authentication between a client station and the router by including a
RADIUS-based authentication server. Information about the RADIUS server such as its IP
address, port and key must be entered. WEP encryption is also enabled and the encryption
strength must also be selected.
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 136
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access): usually used for the larger Enterprise environment, it uses a
RADIUS server and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) encryption (instead of WEP
encryption which is disabled). TKIP uses 128-bit dynamic session keys (per user, per
session, and per packet keys).
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access – Pre-Shared Key): WPA for home and SOHO environments
also using the same strong TKIP encryption, per-packet key construction, and key
management that WPA provides in the enterprise environment. The main difference is that
the password is entered manually. A group re-key interval time is also required.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2): second generation WPA which uses AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard) instead of TKIP as its encryption method. Network re-authorization
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 137
interval is the time in which another key needs to be dynamically issued.
WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 – Pre-Shared Key): suitable for home and SOHO
environments, it also uses AES encryption and requires you to enter a password and a re-key
interval time.
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 138
Mixed WPA2 / WPA: useful during transitional times for upgrades in the enterprise environment,
this mixed authentication method allows “upgraded” and users not yet “upgraded” to access
the network via the router. RADIUS server information must be entered for WPA and a as
well as a group re-key interval time. Both TKIP and AES are used.
Mixed WPA2 / WPA-PSK: useful during transitional times for upgrades in the home or SOHO
environment, a pre-shared key must be entered along with the group re-key interval time.
Both TKIP and AES are also used.
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 139

54g Rate: The rate at which information will be transmitted and received on your wireless
network. Not settable when the router is set to 802.11n.
Multicast Rate: the rate at which a message is sent to a specified group of recipients.
Basic Rate: the set of data transfer rates that all the stations will be capable of using to receive
frames from a wireless medium.
Fragmentation Threshold: used to fragment packets which help improve performance in the
presence of radio frequency (RF) interference.
RTS Threshold (Request to Send Threshold): determines the packet size of a transmission
through the use of the router to help control traffic flow.
DTIM Interval: sets the Wake-up interval for clients in power-saving mode.
Beacon Interval: a packet of information that is sent from a connected device to all other devices
where it announces its availability and readiness. A beacon interval is a period of time (sent
with the beacon) before sending the beacon again. The beacon interval may be adjusted in
milliseconds (ms).
Global Max Clients: maximum number of clients allowed to connect to the router
Xpress Technology: a technology that utilizes standards based on frame bursting to achieve
higher throughput. With Xpress Technology enabled, aggregate throughput (the sum of the
individual throughput speeds of each client on the network) can improve by up to 25% in
802.11g only networks and up to 75% in mixed networks comprised of 802.11g and 802.11b

SIP Basic Settings (Admin)
The SIP Basic Settings page configures many basic SIP settings.
Bound Interface Name: Select the interface to bind to the settings from the drop-down list.
SIP Local Port: Set the SIP local port of the gateway, the default value is 5060. SIP local port is
the SIP UA (user agent) port.
SIP domain name: Enter the SIP domain name.
Use SIP Proxy: If your DSL router uses a SIP proxy, select Use SIP Proxy. SIP proxy allows
other parties to call DSL router through it. When it is selected, the following fields appear.
SIP Proxy: The IP address of the proxy.
SIP Proxy port: The port which this proxy is listening on. By default, the port value is 5060.
Use SIP Outbound Proxy: Some network service providers require the use of an outbound
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 148
proxy. This is an additional proxy through which all outgoing calls are directed. In some
cases, the outbound proxy is placed alongside the firewall and is the only way to let SIP
traffic pass from the internal network to the Internet. When SIP Outbound Proxy is selected,
the following fields appear.
SIP Outbound Proxy: The IP address of the outbound proxy.
SIP Outbound Proxy port: The port that the outbound proxy is listening on. By default, the port
value is 5060.
Use SIP Registrar: Select the checkbox of Use SIP Registrar to register with the proxy. You can
register your user ID on the SIP registrar. SIP registrar works with SIP proxy, allowing other
parties to call DSL router through it. When it is selected, the following fields appear.
SIP Registrar: The IP address of the SIP registrar.
SIP Registrar port: The port that SIP registrar is listening on. By default, the port value is 5060.
Account Enabled: If Account Enabled is not selected, the corresponding account is disabled.

Polarity Reverse Enable: Enable or disable this function.
Authentication name: Set the user name of authentication.
Password: Set the password of authentication.
Cid Name: User name. It is the Display Name.
Cid Number: Set the caller number. It must be a number of 0~9.
ptime: You can use the ptime parameter to set the packetization time (PT). The PT is the length
of the digital voice segment that each packet holds. The default setting is to create 20
millisecond packets. Selecting 10 milliseconds for the parameter may improve the voice
quality. Because of the packet loss, less information is lost, but because there are more
packets and a smaller payload to overhead ratio per packet, selecting 10 milliseconds puts a
heavier load on the network traffic.
Priority: The priority of codec is defined in a range from 1-100. Codecs define the method of
relaying voice data. Different codecs have different characteristics, such as data compression
and voice quality. For Example, G723 is a codec that uses compression, therefore, it is a
good option when bandwidth is limited, however the voice quality for G723 is not good as
other codecs, such as the G711. If no codec is specified, the DSL router chooses the codec
automatically.

A dialing plan for POTS-to-SIP outgoing calls consists of a series of acceptable dial strings. If an
acceptable dialplan is not entered which matches one of the acceptable dial strings entered in the
Digit Map Setting window, the call will not proceed.
The following rules are used to configure the dialplan:
Each dial string is represented as digits, wildcards, and regular-expression-like patterns.
Digits “0” to “9” are allowed as well as “*” and “#”. The character “x” indicates a wildcard for 0
or more digits between 0-9.
The character “T” or “t” designates an override for the interdigit timeout.
Brackets “[]” define digit range. [135] means digits 1, 3, or 5. [1-4] means digits 1, 2, 3, or 4.
The use of “.” represents any digit and a ‘|’ character indicates an inclusive OR, so “*.xT | x.T “
indicates star plus any number of digits followed by the inter-digit timeout.

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting
The Router Is Not Functional
1. Check to see that the power LED is green and the network cables are installed correctly.
Refer to the quick start guide for more details.
2. Check to see that the LAN and Status LEDs are green.
3. Check the settings on your PC. Again, refer to the quick start guide for more details
4. Check the router's settings.
5. From your PC, can you ping the router? Assuming that the router has DHCP enabled and
your PC is on the same subnet as the router, you should be able to ping the router.
6. Can you ping the WAN? Your ISP should have provided the IP address of their server. If you
can ping the router and your protocols are configured correctly, you should be able to ping
the ISP's network. If you cannot ping the ISP's network, make sure you are using the correct
protocols with the correct VPI/VCI values.
7. Make sure NAT is enabled if you are using private addresses on the LAN ports.
You Cannot Connect to the Router
1. Check to see that the power LED is green and that the network cables are installed correctly.
If the LED is off, make sure the router is turned on. If the LED is red, please contact your
ISP.
2. Check the Ethernet network cable is plugged in correctly. If the LAN LED does not turn
green when the Ethernet cable is connected to the router, check the cable.
3. Make sure you have connected the Ethernet port to the PC.
4. Make sure that your PC and the router are on the same network segment. The router's
default IP address is 192.168.1.1. If you are running a Windows-based PC, type ipconfig /all
(or winipcfg /all on Windows 95, 98, or ME) at a command prompt to determine the IP
address of your network adapter. Make sure that it is within the same 192.168.1.x subnet.
Your PC's subnet mask must match the router's subnet mask. The router has a default
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
5. If the router is in Bridge mode, you may need to set your PC to a fixed IP address within the
same subnet as the modem (i.e. 192.168.1.2)
The DSL LED Continues to Blink
This means that the DSL line is trying to train but for some reason it cannot establish a valid
connection. The likely cause of this is that you are too far away from the central office. Contact
your DSL service provider for further assistance.
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 172
The DSL LED is Always Off
Make sure you have DSL service. You should receive notification from your ISP that DSL service
is installed. You can usually tell if the service is installed by listening to the phone line: you will
hear some high-pitched noise. If you do not hear high-pitched noise, contact your ISP.
Check to make sure the DSL cable is connected properly.
The Internet LED is Always Off
If the router is set to router mode (i.e. IPoE or IPoE or PPPoA), and the Internet LED is off, check
the modem configuration.
View the Router Summary page and see if the router is configured properly. Check the WAN
Status to make sure the link is up and the router is able to get a WAN IP address from the
network.
The Internet LED is Red
The gateway is set to routed mode but it is not able to connect to the DHCP or PPPoE:
If a wrong username/password was set in the PPP credential, user will see an error screen
instructing them of wrong password and they can re-enter the correct username/password
combination.
If the Internet LED continues to stay red, contact the ISP.
Diagnosing Problems using IP Utilities
Ping
Ping is a command you can use to check whether your PC can recognize other computers on
your network and the Internet. A ping command sends a message to the computer you specify. If
the computer receives the message, it sends messages in reply. To use it, you must know the IP
address of the computer with which you are trying to communicate.
On Windows-based computers, you can execute a ping command from the Start menu.
1. Click the Start button, and then click Run. In the Open text box, type a statement such as
the following:
ping 192.168.1.1 or the IP address you have changed
2. Click OK. You can substitute any private IP address on your LAN or a public IP address for
an Internet site, if known.
If the target computer receives the message, a Command Prompt window is displayed:
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 173
If the target computer cannot be located, you will receive the message “Request timed out.”
Using the ping command, you can test whether the path to the device is working (using the
preconfigured default LAN IP address 192.168.1.1) or another address you assigned.
You can also test whether access to the Internet is working by typing an external address, such
as that for www.yahoo.com (216.115.108.243). If you do not know the IP address of a particular
Internet location, you can use the nslookup command, as explained in the following section.
From most other IP-enabled operating systems, you can execute the same command at a
command prompt or through a system administration utility.
Tracert
You can use the tracert command to determine the route to an external web site.
On Windows-based computers, you can execute the tracert command from the Start menu.
1. Click the Start button, and then click Run. In the Open text box, type the following:
tracert www.zhone.com
Nslookup
You can use the nslookup command to determine the IP address associated with an Internet site
name. You specify the common name, and the nslookup command looks up the name in on your
DNS server (usually located with your ISP). If that name is not an entry in your ISP’s DNS table,
the request is then referred to another higher-level server, and so on, until the entry is found. The
server then returns the associated IP address.
On Windows-based computers, you can execute the nslookup command from the Start menu.
1. Click the Start button, and then click Run. In the Open text box, type the following:
Nslookup
2. Click OK. A Command Prompt window displays with a bracket prompt (>). At the prompt,
type the name of the Internet address that you are interested in, such as
www.microsoft.com.
The window will display the associate IP address, if known, as shown below:
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 174
There may be several addresses associated with an Internet name. This is common for web
sites that receive heavy traffic; they use multiple, redundant servers to carry the same
information.
3. To exit from the nslookup utility, type exit and press [Enter] at the command prompt.

Appendix A – Glossary
Term Description
802.11
A family of specifications for wireless
LANs developed by a working group of the IEEE. This wireless Ethernet
protocol, often called Wi-Fi.
10BASE-T A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet networks with a data
rate of 10 Mbps. Also known as Category 3 (CAT 3) wiring. See data rate,
Ethernet.
100BASE-T A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet networks with a data
rate of 100 Mbps. Also known as Category 5 (CAT 5) wiring. See data
rate, Ethernet.
ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
The most commonly deployed “flavor” of DSL for home users is
asymmetrical DSL. The term asymmetrical refers to its unequal data rates
for downloading and uploading (the download rate is higher than the
upload rate). The asymmetrical rates benefit home users because they
typically download much more data from the Internet than they upload.
Analog An analog signal is a signal that has had its frequency modified in some
way, such as by amplifying its strength or varying its frequency, in order to
add information to the signal. The voice component in DSL is an analog
signal. See digital.
ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode
A standard for high-speed transmission of data, text, voice, and video,
widely used within the Internet. ATM data rates range from 45 Mbps to 2.5
Gbps. See data rate.
Authenticate To verify a user’s identity, such as by prompting for a password.
Binary The “base two” system of numbers that uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to
represent all numbers. In binary, the number 1 is written as 1, 2 as 10, 3
as 11, 4 as 100, etc. Although expressed as decimal numbers for
convenience, IP addresses in actual use are binary numbers; e.g., the IP
address 209.191.4.240 is 11010001.10111111.00000100.11110000 in
binary. See bit, IP address, network mask.
Bit Short for “binary digit,” a bit is a number that can have two values, 0 or 1.
See binary.
Bps bits per second
Bridging Passing data from your network to your ISP and vice versa using the
hardware addresses of the devices at each location. Bridging contrasts
with routing which can add more intelligence to data transfers by using
network addresses instead. The device can perform both routing and
bridging. Typically, when both functions are enabled, the device routes IP
data and bridges all other types of data. See routing.
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 176
Broadband A telecommunications technology that can send different types of data
over the same medium. DSL is a broadband technology.
Broadcast To send data to all computers on a network.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP automates address assignment and management. When a
computer connects to the LAN, DHCP assigns it an IP address from a
shared pool of IP addresses; after a specified time limit, DHCP returns the
address to the pool.
DHCP relay Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol relay
A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data between
computers that request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns
the addresses. Each of the device’s interfaces can be configured as a
DHCP relay. See DHCP.
DHCP server Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server
A DHCP server is a computer that is responsible for assigning IP
addresses to the computers on a LAN. See DHCP.
Digital Of data, having a form based on discrete values expressed as binary
numbers (0’s and 1’s). The data component in DSL is a digital signal. See
analog.
DNS Domain Name System
The DNS maps domain names into IP addresses. DNS information is
distributed hierarchically throughout the Internet among computers called
DNS servers. For example, www.yahoo.com is the domain name
associated with IP address 216.115.108.243. When you start to access a
web site, a DNS server looks up the requested domain name to find its
corresponding IP address. If the DNS server cannot find the IP address, it
communicates with higher-level DNS servers to determine the IP address.
See domain name.
Domain name A domain name is a user-friendly name used in place of its associated IP
address. Domain names must be unique; their assignment is controlled by
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
Domain names are a key element of URLs, which identify a specific file at
a web site. See DNS.
Download To transfer data in the downstream direction, i.e., from the Internet to the
user.
DSL Digital Subscriber Line
A technology that allows both digital data and analog voice signals to
travel over existing copper telephone lines.
Encryption keys See network keys
Ethernet The most commonly installed computer network technology, usually using
twisted pair wiring. Ethernet data rates are 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. See
also 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, twisted pair.
Firewall A firewall is protection between the Internet and your local network. It acts
as the firewall in your car does, protecting the interior of the car from the
engine. Your car's firewall has very small opening that allow desired
connections from the engine into the cabin (gas pedal connection, etc),
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 177
but if something happens to your engine, you are protected.
The firewall in the router is very similar. Only the connections that you
allow are passed through the firewall. These connections normally
originate from the local network, such as users web browsing, checking e-
mail, downloading files, and playing games. However, you can allow
incoming connections so that you can run programs like a web server.
FTP File Transfer Protocol
A program used to transfer files between computers connected to the
Internet. Common uses include uploading new or updated files to a web
server, and downloading files from a web server.
Gbps Abbreviation of Gigabits per second, or one billion bits per second.
Internet data rates are often expressed in Gbps.
Host A device (usually a computer) connected to a network.
HTTP Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol
HTTP is the main protocol used to transfer data from web sites so that it
can be displayed by web browsers. See web browser, web site.
Hub A hub is a place of convergence where data arrives from one or more
directions and is forwarded out in one or more directions. It connects an
Ethernet bridge/router to a group of PCs on a LAN and allows
communication to pass between the networked devices.
ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol
An Internet protocol used to report errors and other network-related
information. The ping command makes use of ICMP.
IEEE The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is a technical
professional society that fosters the development of standards that often
become national and international standards.
Internet The global collection of interconnected networks used for both private and
business communications.
Intranet A private, company-internal network that looks like part of the Internet
(users access information using web browsers), but is accessible only by
employees.
IP See TCP/IP.
IP address Internet Protocol address
The address of a host (computer) on the Internet, consisting of four
numbers, each from 0 to 255, separated by periods, e.g., 209.191.4.240.
An IP address consists of a network ID that identifies the particular
network the host belongs to, and a host ID uniquely identifying the host
itself on that network. A network mask is used to define the network ID
and the host ID. Because IP addresses are difficult to remember, they
usually have an associated domain name that can be specified instead.
See domain name, network mask.
ISP Internet Service Provider
A company that provides Internet access to its customers, usually for a
fee.
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 178
LAN Local Area Network.
A network limited to a small geographic area, such as a home or small
office.
LED Light Emitting Diode
An electronic light-emitting device. The indicator lights on the front of the
device are LEDs.
MAC address Media Access Control address
The permanent hardware address of a device, assigned by its
manufacturer. MAC addresses are expressed as six pairs of hex
characters, with each pair separated by colons. For example;
NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN.
Mask See network mask.
Mbps Abbreviation for Megabits per second, or one million bits per second.
Network data rates are often expressed in Mbps.
NAT Network Address Translation
A service performed by many routers that translates your network’s
publicly known IP address into a private IP address for each computer on
your LAN. Only your router and your LAN know these addresses; the
outside world sees only the public IP address when talking to a computer
on your LAN.
Network A group of computers that are connected together, allowing them to
communicate with each other and share resources, such as software,
files, etc. A network can be small, such as a LAN, or very large, such as
the Internet.
Network keys (Also known as encryption keys.) 64-bit and 128-bit encryption keys used
in WEP wireless security schemes. The keys encrypt data over the
WLAN, and only wireless PCs configured with WEP keys that correspond
to the keys configured on the device can send/receive encrypted data.
Network mask A network mask is a sequence of bits applied to an IP address to select
the network ID while ignoring the host ID. Bits set to 1 mean “select this
bit” while bits set to 0 mean “ignore this bit.” For example, if the network
mask 255.255.255.0 is applied to the IP address 100.10.50.1, the network
ID is 100.10.50, and the host ID is 1. See binary, IP address, subnet.
NIC Network Interface Card
An adapter card that plugs into your computer and provides the physical
interface to your network cabling. For Ethernet NICs this is typically an
RJ-45 connector. See Ethernet, RJ-45.
Packet Data transmitted on a network consists of units called packets. Each
packet contains a payload (the data), plus overhead information such as
where it came from (source address) and where it should go (destination
address).
Ping Packet Internet (or Inter-Network) Groper
A program used to verify whether the host associated with an IP address
is online. It can also be used to reveal the IP address for a given domain
name.
Port A physical access point to a device such as a computer or router, through
which data flows into and out of the device.
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 179
PPP Point-to-Point Protocol
A protocol for serial data transmission that is used to carry IP (and other
protocol) data between your ISP and your computer. The WAN interface
on the device uses two forms of PPP called PPPoA and PPPoE. See
PPPoA, PPPoE.
PPPoA Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM
One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can define for a Virtual Circuit
(VC), the other type being PPPoE. You can define only one PPPoA
interface per VC.
PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can define for a Virtual Circuit
(VC), the other type being PPPoA. You can define one or more PPPoE
interfaces per VC.
Protocol A set of rules governing the transmission of data. In order for a data
transmission to work, both ends of the connection have to follow the rules
of the protocol.
Remote In a physically separate location. For example, an employee away on
travel who logs in to the company’s intranet is a remote user.
RIP Routing Information Protocol
The original TCP/IP routing protocol. There are two versions of RIP:
version I and version II.
RJ-11 Registered Jack Standard-11
The standard plug used to connect telephones, fax machines, modems,
etc. to a telephone port. It is a 6-pin connector usually containing four
wires.
RJ-45 Registered Jack Standard-45
The 8-pin plug used in transmitting data over phone lines. Ethernet
cabling usually uses this type of connector.
Routing Forwarding data between your network and the Internet on the most
efficient route, based on the data’s destination IP address and current
network conditions. A device that performs routing is called a router.
SDNS Secondary Domain Name System (server)
A DNS server that can be used if the primary DSN server is not available.
See DNS.
Subnet A subnet is a portion of a network. The subnet is distinguished from the
larger network by a subnet mask that selects some of the computers of
the network and excludes all others. The subnet’s computers remain
physically connected to the rest of the parent network, but they are
treated as though they were on a separate network. See network mask.
Subnet mask A mask that defines a subnet. See network mask.
TCP See TCP/IP.
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
The basic protocols used on the Internet. TCP is responsible for dividing
data up into packets for delivery and reassembling them at the
destination, while IP is responsible for delivering the packets from source
to destination. When TCP and IP are bundled with higher-level
applications such as HTTP, FTP, Telnet, etc., TCP/IP refers to this whole
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 180
suite of protocols.
Telnet An interactive, character-based program used to access a remote
computer. While HTTP (the web protocol) and FTP only allow you to
download files from a remote computer, Telnet allows you to log into and
use a computer from a remote location.
TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol
A protocol for file transfers, TFTP is easier to use than File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) but not as capable or secure.
TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) provides WPA with a data
encryption function. It ensures that a unique master key is generated for
each packet, supports message integrity and sequencing rules and
supports re-keying mechanisms.
Triggers Triggers are used to deal with application protocols that create separate
sessions. Some applications, such as NetMeeting, open secondary
connections during normal operations, for example, a connection to a
server is established using one port, but data transfers are performed on
a separate connection. A trigger tells the device to expect these
secondary sessions and how to handle them.
Once you set a trigger, the embedded IP address of each incoming
packet is replaced by the correct host address so that NAT can translate
packets to the correct destination. You can specify whether you want to
carry out address replacement, and if so, whether to replace addresses
on TCP packets only, UDP packets only, or both.
Twisted pair The ordinary copper telephone wiring used by telephone companies. It
contains one or more wire pairs twisted together to reduce inductance and
noise. Each telephone line uses one pair. In homes, it is most often
installed with two pairs. For Ethernet LANs, a higher grade called
Category 3 (CAT 3) is used for 10BASE-T networks, and an even higher
grade called Category 5 (CAT 5) is used for 100BASE-T networks. See
10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, Ethernet.
Unnumbered interfaces An unnumbered interface is an IP interface that does not have a local
subnet associated with it. Instead, it uses a router-id that serves as the
source and destination address of packets sent to and from the router.
Unlike the IP address of a normal interface, the router-id of an
unnumbered interface is allowed to be the same as the IP address of
another interface. For example, the WAN unnumbered interface of your
device uses the same IP address of the LAN interface (192.168.1.1).
The unnumbered interface is temporary – PPP or DHCP will assign a
‘real’ IP address automatically.
Upstream The direction of data transmission from the user to the Internet.
VC Virtual Circuit
A connection from your DSL router to your ISP.
VCI Virtual Circuit Identifier
Together with the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI), the VCI uniquely identifies a
VC. Your ISP will tell you the VCI for each VC they provide. See VC.
VDSL Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line
It provides faster transmission rate and is capable of supporting high
bandwidth applications like IPTV and bandwidth consumed applications.
66xx/67xx Router Users Guide 181
VPI Virtual Path Identifier
Together with the Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI), the VPI uniquely identifies
a VC. Your ISP will tell you the VPI for each VC they provide. See VC.
WAN Wide Area Network
Any network spread over a large geographical area, such as a country or
continent. With respect to the device, WAN refers to the Internet.
Web browser A software program that uses Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to
download information from (and upload to) web sites, and displays the
information, which may consist of text, graphic images, audio, or video, to
the user. Web browsers use Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
Popular web browsers include Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer. See HTTP, web site, WWW.
Web page A web site file typically containing text, graphics and hyperlinks (cross-
references) to the other pages on that web site, as well as to pages on
other web sites. When a user accesses a web site, the first page that is
displayed is called the home page. See hyperlink, web site.
Web site A computer on the Internet that distributes information to (and gets
information from) remote users through web browsers. A web site typically
consists of web pages that contain text, graphics, and hyperlinks. See
hyperlink, web page.
WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encrypts data over WLANs. Data is
encrypted into blocks of either 64 bits length or 128 bits length. The
encrypted data can only be sent and received by users with access to a
private network key. Each PC on your wireless network must be manually
configured with the same key as your device in order to allow wireless
encrypted data transmissions. Eavesdroppers cannot access your
network if they do not know your private key. WEP is considered to be a
low security option.
Wireless Wireless is a term used to describe telecommunications in which
electromagnetic waves (rather than some form of wire) carry the signal
over part or the entire communication path. See wireless LAN.
Wireless LAN A wireless LAN (WLAN) is one in which a mobile user can connect to a
local area network (LAN) through a wireless (radio) connection. A
standard, IEEE 802.11, specifies the technologies for wireless LANs.
WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access
WPA is an initiative by the IEEE and Wi-Fi Alliance to address the security
limitations of WEP. WPA provides a stronger data encryption method
(called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)). It runs in a special, easy-
to-set-up home mode called Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that allows you to
manually enter a pass phrase on all the devices in your wireless network.
WPA data encryption is based on a WPA master key. The master key is
derived from the pass phrase and the network name (SSID) of the device.
It provides improved data encryption and stronger user authentication.
The mode of WPA supported on your device is called Pre-Shared Key
(PSK), which allows you to manually enter a type of key called a pass
phrase.
WWW World Wide Web
Also called (the) Web. Collective term for all web sites anywhere in the
world that can be accessed via the Internet.
