Rhine II Configuring Your Macintosh Computer You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your screen. This is because these steps and screenshots were created using Mac OS 8.5. Mac OS 7.x and above are all very similar, but may not be identical to Mac OS 8.5. Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings After you have completed the hardware setup, you need to configure your computer to connect to your Rhine II. You need to determine how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs issue these numbers automatically using a networking technology known as Dynamic Host Control Protocol, or DHCP. Other ISPs will specify your IP address and associated numbers, which you must enter manually. This is also known as a static IP address. How your ISP assigns your IP address determines how you will configure your computer. Here is what to do: 1. Pull down the Apple Menu. Click “Control Panels” and select TCP/IP. 2. In the TCP/IP dialog box, make sure that “Ethernet” is selected in the “Connect Via:” field. If “Using DHCP Server” is already selected in the “Configure” field, your computer is already configured for DHCP. Close the TCP/IP dialog box, and skip to Step 2 “Disable HTTP Proxy.” 3. All the information that you need to record is on the “TCP/IP” dialog box. Use the space below to record the information. 4. After writing down your IP settings, select “Using DHCP Server” in the “Configure” field and close the window. 5. Another box will appear asking whether you want to save your TCP/IP settings. Click Save.

At this point your Rhine II should be setup properly. The IP address of the LAN port is 192.168.0.1, and the DHCP server is configured starting from 192.168.0.100. The SSID for the wireless LAN card is “Troy”. BroadNet Technology Inc. 21 Configuring Your Rhine II – Basic Configuration The main page of basic configuration is shown below. System Time Zone Set the proper time zone and the daylight savings for the Rhine II. Password Settings Set the password of the user. The Idle Time Out value is used for Rhine II to log out automatically when no access to the web after this timeout value. Rhine II WAN Settings The Rhine II supports 4 types of WAN connection – Dynamic IP (DHCP Client), PPPoE, Static IP and Bridging. Dynamic IP Under this mode, Rhine II enables DHCP client to get IP address automatically from your service provider. The Host Name is optional, but may be required by some Service Provider’s. The default MAC address is set to the WAN’s physical interface on the Rhine II. If required by Service Provider, you use the button to copy the MAC address of the Network Interface Card installed in your PC and replace the WAN MAC address with this MAC address. If necessary, you can use the and buttons to release and renew the WAN IP address. BroadNet Technology Inc. Rhine II PPPoE Under this mode, Rhine II is acting as a PPPoE client. Enter the PPPoE user name and password assigned by your Service Provider. The Service Name is normally optional, but may be required by some service providers. Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in seconds) to define a maximum period of time for which the Internet connection is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, then it will be dropped. You can enable the Autoreconnect option to automatically re-establish the connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again Static IP If your Service Provider has assigned a fixed IP address, enter the assigned IP address, subnet mask and the gateway address provided. Most service providers provide a DNS server for speed and convenience. If there is a DNS server that you would rather use, you need to specify the IP address here. BroadNet Technology Inc. Rhine II Bridging Under this mode, Rhine II is acting as a layer 2 bridge. In this page, you can enter the IP address for the Rhine II device. This IP address will be used for remote users to access the device. Note that if user select Bridging mode, the default IP in this page will be set to the static IP address in the previous section, the LAN IP address will be set to the same as the IP address in this page, and the DHCP server will be disabled. LAN Settings The Rhine II needs to have an IP address of the local network. You can enable DHCP to dynamically allocate IP addresses to your client PCs. When DHCP server is enabled, you need to enter the IP address range for the local hosts. BroadNet Technology Inc. Rhine II Wireless Settings Channel and SSID This page allows you to define SSID, Transmission Rate, Basic Rate and Channel ID for wireless connection. In the wireless environment, this gateway can be acting as an wireless access point. These parameters are used for the mobile stations to connect to this access point. Encryption Rhine II supports 64-bit or 128 bit WEP encryption. BroadNet Technology Inc. Rhine II When encryption is enabled, user can enter a passphrase to generate the key or simple enter the key. Click button to clear all the key entried. NAT Settings Rhine II is a NAT router. All the IP addresses coming in and going out to Rhine II can be converted between public and private IP addresses. You can configure Rhine II as a virtual server so that remote users accessing services such as the Web or FTP at your local sites via public IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP address. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP), the Rhine II redirects the external service request to the appropriate server. BroadNet Technology Inc. Rhine II BroadNet Technology Inc. Rhine II Configuring Your Rhine II – Advanced Configuration The main page of advanced configuration is shown below. Firewall The EtherPortal provides firewall for client filtering. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a demilitarized zone (DMZ). Client Filtering Client filtering allows user to block different type of traffic during a particular time frame. When this feature is enabled, user can enter IP address, port range and protocol type, TCP or UDP, the packets with the specified header will be blocked during the time and date period. When block time is checked, the specified traffic will be blocked all the time; when is checked, the specified traffic will be blocked only during the time and date specified in the right hand side. When the right most check box is checked, the entry is activated. BroadNet Technology Inc. Rhine II DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the NAT firewall or after configuring a Special Applications trigger port, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a Virtual DMZ Host. User enables this feature by select in the top of this page. Rhine II supports multiple (up to 8) public IP addresses. The first one is the WAN port address assigned to Rhine II. When an entry is defined, Rhine II maps private client IP address to the public IP address, and vice versa, to provide a 1-to-1 address mapping between private host and public IP address. SNMP The Rhine II supports SNMP feature and standard MIB II alone with some proprietary MIB for configuration. It provides SNMP settings for community and trap information. Community In the context of SNMP, a relationship between an agent and a set of SNMP managers defines security characteristics. The community concept is a local one, defined at the agent. The agent establishes one community for each desired combination of authentication, access control, and proxy characteristics. Each community is given a unique (within this agent) community name, and the management stations within that community are provided with and must employ the community name in all get operations. The agent may establish a number of communities, with overlapping management station membership. BroadNet Technology Inc. Rhine II Trap In the context of SNMP, an unsolicited message can be sent by an agent to management station. The purpose is to notify the management station of some unusual event. BroadNet Technology Inc. 10 Rhine II Configuring Your Rhine II – Tools The tools feature provided for Rhine II include configuration tools – save /restore configuration and restore to factory defaults, system log, firmware upgrade and reset.
