© NetgearInc. 2004 Page 7 of 36 All Rights Reserved 3.2 Basic Settings 3.2.1 Basic Settings Note: If you are setting up the Router for the first time, the default settings may work for you with no changes. Does Your Internet Connection Require A Login? Select this option based on the type of account you have with your ISP. If you need to enter login information every time you connect to the Internet or you have a PPPoE account with your ISP, select Yes. Otherwise, select No.
© NetgearInc. 2004 Page 8 of 36 All Rights Reserved Note: If you have installed PPP software such as WinPoET (from Earthlink) or Enternet (from PacBell), then you have PPPoE. Select Yes. After selecting Yes and configuring your Router, you will not need to run the PPP software on your PC to connect to the Internet. Account Name (also known as Host Name or System Name) For most users, type your account name or user name in this box. For example, if your main mail account is JerAB@ISP.com, then put JerAB in this box. If your ISP has given you a specific Host name, then type it (for example, CCA7324-A). Domain Name For most users, you may leave this box blank, unless required by your ISP. You may type the domain name of your ISP. For example, if your ISP's mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, you would type xxx.yyy.zzz as the Domain Name. If you have a Domain name given to you by your ISP, type it in this box. (For example, Earthlink Cable may require a Host name of 'home' and Comcast sometimes supplies a Domain name.) Internet IP Address If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a fixed IP address, the Router will find an IP address for you automatically when you connect. Select Get Dynamically From ISP. If you have a fixed (or static IP) address, your ISP will have provided you with the required information. Select Use Static IP Address and type the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address into the correct boxes. For example: • IP Address: 24.218.156.183 • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 • Gateway IP Address: 24.218.156.1
© NetgearInc. 2004 Page 9 of 36 All Rights Reserved DNS Address The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names. If your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses, select Use These DNS Servers and type the primary and secondary addresses. Otherwise, select Get Automatically From ISP. Note: If you get 'Address not found' errors when you go to a Web site, it is likely that your DNS servers aren't set up properly. You should contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses. NAT (Network Address Translation) NAT allows all LAN PCs to gain Internet access via this Router, by sharing this Router's WAN IP address. In most situations, NAT is essential for Internet access via this Router. You should only disable NAT if you are sure you do not require it. When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is performed by this Router.
© NetgearInc. 2004 Page 10 of 36 All Rights Reserved 3.2.2 Logs Your router will log security-related events such as denied incoming service requests, hacker probes, and administrator logins, according to your settings on this screen. If you have set up content filtering on the Block Sites page, you can also log when someone on your network tried to access a blocked site. If you have E-mail notification on, you'll receive these logs in an E-mail message. If you don't have E-mail notification set up, you can view the logs here. To delete all log entries: • Click Clear Log. To see the most recent entries: • Click Refresh. To E-mail the log now: • Click Send Log.
© NetgearInc. 2004 Page 11 of 36 All Rights Reserved Include in Log Use these checkboxes to determine which events are included in the log. Checking all options will increase the size of the log, so it is good practice to disable any events which are not really required. • Known DoS attacks and Port Scans - If checked, Denial of Service attacks, as well as port scans, will be logged. • Attempted access to blocked sites - If checked, attempted Internet accesses which were blocked are logged. • Router Administration - If checked, other Router operations (not covered by the selections above) will be logged. • All Websites and newsgroups visited - If checked, all visited websites and newsgroups are logged.
© NetgearInc. 2004 Page 12 of 36 All Rights Reserved • Local activity - If checked, this will log connections to this Router, rather than through this Router to the Internet. • All incoming and Outgoing traffic - All incoming and outgoing connections are logged. Checking this will generate a large number of log entries, and is only recommended if using a Syslog server. Syslog Enable one of these three options, as required: • Disable - Select this if you don't have a Syslog server. • Broadcast on LAN - the Syslog data is broadcast, rather than sent to a specific Syslog server. Use this if you Syslog Server does not have a fixed IP address. • Send to this Syslog server IP address - If your Syslog server has a fixed IP address, select this option, and enter the IP address of your Syslog server. 3.2.3 Block sites If you want to prevent access to certain sites on the Internet, you can use the router's content filtering feature. You can specify up to 32 words that, should they appear in the website name (URL) or newsgroup name, will cause the site to be blocked by the router. When users try to access a blocked site, they will get a message: "Blocked by NETGEAR".

Go to the NETGEAR Web site to get new versions of the Router software. After downloading the file, you'll need to unzip (or unstuff) it before upgrading the Router. IMPORTANT! Once you click Upload do NOT interrupt the process of sending the software to the Router and restarting the Router. If you think the process may be interrupted in some way, click Cancel to keep the current Router software. To upgrade Router software: 1. Go to www.NETGEAR.com and download the updated software. 2. If not done automatically, uncompress the file. You may want to read the Release Notes before continuing. 3. Click Browse. 4. Locate and select the file you just downloaded and uncompressed. 5. Click Upload to send the software to the Router. This loads the new software in the Router and causes the Router to restart. Note: Do not try to go online, turn off the Router, shutdown the computer or do anything else to the Router until the Router finishes restarting! When the Ready light stops blinking, wait a few more seconds before doing anything. 6. Click Router Status and check the Firmware Version to verify that your Router now has the new software installed.
© NetgearInc. 2004 Page 29 of 36 All Rights Reserved IMPORTANT! In some cases, such as a major upgrades, you may need to reconfigure your Router after upgrading it. Refer to the Release Notes included with the software to find out if you need to reconfigure the Router. If you are unable to successfully upgrade using this method, refer to the Reference Manual on the WGR826V Resource CD for other ways to upgrade the Router. Provisioning of TA: TA contacts a provisioning server for dynamic configuration of VoIP parameters. Configuration, image upgrade, interface address change notifications are carried over automatically by TA. When the TA boots up, it first tries to contact Provisioning server (SASVP) and get the latest configuration file. It configures VoIP stack with the configuration and make voice ports UP. It need to register TA with SASVP in order to download the configuration and image updates. This is done by customer in the first time when he buys the box. The general procedure to register or create an account with a Provisioning server is: 1) The user connects TA to ISP and brings up the Internet connection. 2) Then he configures NAT on the TA and uses TA as edge router.
© NetgearInc. 2004 Page 30 of 36 All Rights Reserved He browses SASVP sever on any Internet browser from his PC connected back on TA and using TA as router. When he activates his account, TA receives an authentication key, which will be used in subsequent communications with SASVP server. The authentication key in stored in securely, so that successive reboots of TA doesn't erase authentication key. For testing purposes, one can activate an account for testing by going to the following link from any web browser. This can be done even when TA is not connected in the path for Internet. https://12.0.37.209/att/auth/auth.pl?ip=66.80.10.151&tn=7323684360 Replace ip = xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa with whatever address TA will communicate with SASVP. This would be the address of WAN interface of TA. Replace tn = xyzabcpqrs with what ever telephone number assigned for you for testing. This would be assigned by Voice service providers. Trouble shooting and Log: You can view and enable trouble shooting on TA , if you want to see what is going on between TA and provisioning server. For this you need access to TA console. Connect a serial cable to console port of TA ( baud rate 115200). Press "return" key on the keyboard. You should get linux bash prompt (#) Enter cli from the bash prompt. You will get WGR826V's CLI prompt. #cli ************************************************************** Welcome To The iGateway Command Line Interface ************************************************************** VoIP initialized sip@8882 cp@8884 on 127.0.0.1 To change the current settings you may run /config/voip/deinit && /config/voip/ init... iGateway:/> Enter the following commands from iGateway CLI prompt. iGateway:/>traceenable PRVD TRACING FOR PRVD IS ENABLED AS 1 iGateway:/>tracestart TRACING HAS BEEN STARTED BEFOREHAND iGateway:/>traceset all GLOBAL TRACE LEVEL IS ALL WITH LEVEL NUMBER 1 iGateway:/> "Traceenable" command enables tracing for PRVD daemon .

You should see four sections in the page. In "Automatic Provisioning" , you can modify the URL for SASVP server . This URL is used to communicate with SASVP server. "Upload SASVP CA Certificate " section is used to upload CA certificate to TA . This CA certificate is used by TA for authenticating SASVP server. Have the CA certificate in the local folder of the PC from where you accessed this page and click on browse button to give the certificate path in your PC and click on "upload" button. "Erase Provisioning Authentication Key" section is used to erase authentication key from the TA. This causes TA to start the communication with SASVP server from the beginning, as if the box is purchased new. Use this with caution, as this requires setting up new account with VOIP service provider. "Firmware Upgrade" section is used to upgarde the image on TA, if the image is available on the harddisk of local PC. The user can download the images out of band to his local PC and use "browse" button to select the image and upload it to TA. 3.2.13 LAN IP Setup The DHCP and TCP/IP default values work for most users.
© NetgearInc. 2004 Page 33 of 36 All Rights Reserved LAN TCP/IP Setup These are advanced settings that you may configure if you are a network administrator and your network contains multiple Routers. If you make any changes to these settings you will need to restart your computer(s) for the settings to take effect. • IP Address: Type the IP address of your Router in dotted decimal notation (factory default: 192.168.0.1). • IP Subnet Mask: The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your Router will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask (computed by the Router). • RIP Direction: RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC1389) allows a Router to exchange routing information with other Routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the Router sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default. o When set to Both or Out Only, the Router will broadcast its routing table periodically. o When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
© NetgearInc. 2004 Page 34 of 36 All Rights Reserved o When set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received. • RIP Version: This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the Router sends. (It recognizes both formats when receiving.) By default, this is set for RIP-1. o RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network setup. o RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2 format.  RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting.  RIP-2M uses multicasting. (See note below.) Note: Multicasting can reduce the load on non-Router machines because they do not listen to the RIP multicast address and will not receive the RIP packets. However, if one Router uses multicasting, then all Routers on your network must use multicasting. Use Router As DHCP Server The WGR826V Router is set up by default as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server, which provides the TCP/IP configuration for the all the computers that are connected to the Router. Unless told to change these settings by your ISP, leave the Use Router As DHCP Server check box checked. If your ISP has you clear this check box, you must have another DHCP server within your network or else you must manually configure the computer. • Starting IP Address: This box specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. 192.168.0.2 is the default start address. • Ending IP Address: This box specifies the last of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. 192.168.0.254 is the default ending address. Address Reservation When you specify a reserved IP address for a PC on the LAN, that PC will always receive the same IP address each time it accesses the DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings. To Reserve An IP Address: 1. Click the Add button. 2. Input the IP address, MAC address and device name that are to be reserved. 3. Click the Add button when finished. To Edit A Reserved IP Address:
