User guide
Welcome to GlobeSurfer® III
Welcome to the GlobeSurfer® III, your 3G wireless gateway router that connects
you to the internet, allows you to make and receive telephone calls, text messages and enables you to connect USB printers and external hard drives for a
truly collaborative life.
Within minutes of connecting your GlobeSurfer® III, you can connect to your
mobile network and use a wireless connection to the Internet through the 2G or
3G cellular network.
GlobeSurfer® III is compatible with GSM and 3G mobile networks and supports
GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. With ‘Receive Diversity’ on
all the high as well as low bands, the signal strength and overall 3G reception is
unparalleled.
Tip: To achieve the best possible reception, check the signal strength on the display of the unit (the more bars the better the reception). You may find that placing
the unit near a window provides the best reception.
Simple set-up
GlobeSurfer® III provides you with a quick installation and set-up that gets you
easily and quickly connected to the Internet. You can use an Internet browser (e.g.
Microsoft® Internet Explorer, Safari® or Firefox® ) and most personal computers,
including Windows®, Mac OS® and Linux ®. The ‘Quick Setup Wizard’ introduces
you to the basic settings that need to be configured for use with the mobile
network. Once you have these configured, you can review and enable customised
wireless security settings.
Instant protection
Your GlobeSurfer® III supports Network Address Translation (NAT). This network
service hides the computers in your network so they cannot be found or directly
Z08.209_UG_GSIII_V4.indd 2
14-08-2008 13:55:58
3
accessed from outside your network. A firewall is also included which, by default,
blocks incoming traffic and allows outgoing traffic.
Additional security
GlobeSurfer® III supports both Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected
Access (WPA and WPA2) to protect your network data. Security logs keep you
aware of potential security risks and intrusion attempts. You can view logs online
or via email.
Stay in touch
You can use GlobeSurfer® III to send and receive SMS text messages. The display
on the front of the unit lets you know when a new SMS arrives.
“Notifier” Software
If you have installed the “Notifier” software application, then you will also receive
a desktop alert indicating the receipt of text messages or telephone calls. The
“Notifier” software will also allow you to connect directly to the browser page that
handles SMS text messages and telephone calls.
When you get a phone call the display shows the caller’s number and indicates
missed calls. If you have installed the “Notifier” software application, then you will
also receive a desktop alert indicating the receipt of telephone calls, as well as
missed calls. The “Notifier” software will also allow you to connect directly to the
browser page that handles telephone calls.
Important note
To protect your network from unauthorised access, and to make it more difficult
for hackers to analyse your data, please configure the WLAN security settings and
enable WEP, WPA or WPA2 encryption on your GlobeSurfer® III Copyright

Quick Setup
You can use the ‘Quick Setup’ to change the main settings needed to use
GlobeSurfer® III. The following settings can be changed:
Language
Select the language for GlobeSurfer® III
Note: The current language setting will be restored if you do not apply the settings.
Telephony
Select the country for the telephone handset interface.
UMTS Setup
• Access point name: as provided by your mobile operator.
• UMTS Connect Method:

14-08-2008 13:56:42
45
• Connect Manually: connect to the Internet by clicking Connect on
the Connection Status page in the Graphical User Interface or press
the Connect button on GlobeSurfer® III.
• Automatically connect upon traffic: GlobeSurfer® III will automatically
connect when you attempt to send data via the Internet.
• In case of inactivity, disconnect after (minutes): The default is 10 minutes. Set
it to zero (0) if you want the UMTS to stay connected. The maximum is 1440
minutes (24 hours).
Note: Incoming traffic is treated as inactivity.
Wireless Setup
The following settings are the most important for the local Wireless LAN:
• SSID: The Service Set Identifier: enter a name for your local wireless network
(WLAN) (maximum 32 characters).
• SSID broadcast: If you set the ‘Enabled’ checkbox to broadcast then other
devices can detect and connect to your WLAN. You can install the WLAN with
this feature enabled and then disable it once you have set up GlobeSurfer® III
and its associated wireless clients.
Tip: You can clear this checkbox later to disable broadcasting and hide the
name of your network; this provides minimal security, as other devices have to
know the SSID to connect.

Wireless Encryption
Configure the encryption of the GlobeSurfer® III wireless network. The ‘No encryption’ option should only be used during installation of your network to simplify the
set-up procedure.
Add encryption to your wireless network to prevent unauthorised traffic monitoring
and access, as soon as your local wireless network has been set up. Configure
your wireless PC clients to use the same encryption type and keys, otherwise the
devices will not understand each other.
Select from the drop-down list:
• No encryption: not recommended except during installation of your network.
• WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access is a 256-bit encryption method with keys that
change automatically over time.
• WPA2: A more secure version of WPA with implementation of the 802.11i
standard.
• WPA and WPA2: A combination of both security protocols listed above.
Z08.209_UG_GSIII_V4.indd 46
14-08-2008 13:56:43
47
• 802.1X WEP: Wireless Equivalent Privacy is a 64 bit or 128-bit encryption
method with user configurable fixed keys. 128-bit provides higher security.
In 802.1X WEP, a radius server is used to perform authentication, contrary to
regular WEP
• WEP: Wireless Equivalent Privacy is a 64 bit or 128-bit encryption method with
user configurable fixed keys. 128-bit provides higher security.
• Authentication Only: Any user accessing web pages through Wireless LAN
will be redirected to the web GUI and asked to authenticate himself before
being able to access other web pages. This authentication only needs to be
performed once every session.
Note: Not all wireless client equipment supports ASCII-text format. If you are
experiencing problems, use the hexadecimal key format since most vendors
support it.
Note: WPA/WPA2 is recommended as it provides a higher level of security due to
the longer key that changes automatically.
Configuring WEP:
• Key Type: Select the encryption level from the drop-down list.
• Pre-shared key: Type in the hexadecimal 26 characters, or a plain text (ASCII)
pass-phrase of 5 or 13 characters.
Configuring WPA or WPA2 encryption:
• Key Type: Select the encryption level from the drop-down list.
• Pre-shared key: Type in the hexadecimal 64 characters, or a plain text (ASCII)
pass-phrase of at least 8 characters.
Note: Advanced options for encryption configuration are available via the icons
‘Connection Settings’, ‘Network Connections’. Wireless encryption has no security
effect on wired (Ethernet) connections.

Firewall Setup
The GlobeSurfer® III firewall has three pre-defined levels of security. The default,
‘typical security’, blocks traffic initiated by an external (Internet) source, and allows traffic initiated from the local network.
For advanced configuration of your firewall security parameters, please refer to
the ‘Reference Manual’.

Security Basics
Review the basics
Just connecting your computer to GlobeSurfer® III provides a basic level of protection because it supports Network Address Translation (NAT).
Network Address Translation
Your GlobeSurfer® III supports NAT. This network service makes it possible for all
of the computers in your network to share a single IP address. This IP address
is assigned to your GlobeSurfer® III and is the only address that is visible to the
outside world. The private addresses that DHCP assigns to computers in your
network remain private and cannot be reached from the Internet.
Determine the wireless exposure
If you live in a rural area far away from your neighbour, the likelihood that
someone will break into your wireless network is very low. On the other hand, if
you live in a densely populated area in the city next to an office building, there is a
potential danger that a third party may try to access your WLAN.
Based on your own security needs, decide which security settings you want to
implement:
• Change SSID
• Disable SSID broadcast
• Enable WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption
These settings are available from the ‘Quick Setup’ page of your GlobeSurfer® III.
Each computer to be connected to your WLAN must use the same settings.
Furthermore, you can enable MAC filtering on GlobeSurfer® III. MAC filtering
can be used to grant or deny WLAN computers in your network access to
GlobeSurfer® III based on the MAC address of the computer. For further
information see ‘MAC Address Filtering’, on page 54.

Firewall
Your GlobeSurfer® III has a true firewall that uses rules to control the incoming
and outgoing data traffic. The firewall has three pre-defined levels of security.
The default, ‘typical security’, blocks traffic initiated by an external (Internet)
source, and allows traffic initiated from the local network.
Control the traffic
A firewall blocks uninvited Internet traffic that might cause damage to the computers in your network. Before traffic is allowed in or out of your network, it has
to pass through the firewall. Incoming traffic is examined to see whether it meets
the conditions of incoming rules. If the conditions are met, the traffic is allowed
in. Outgoing traffic is also examined and compared to outgoing rules before it
is allowed out. Rules are based on Internet services, such as FTP, Telnet and
NetMeeting.
Is it necessary to change the default firewall rules or add new rules?
For private use, you should not have to add new rules or change the default rules.
By default, all incoming traffic is blocked and all outgoing traffic is allowed. If you
set up a virtual server, an additional incoming rule is automatically added to enable access to the server from the Internet.
An example of an attack that your GlobeSurfer® III will automatically block is a
Denial of Service (DoS) attack. This is an attack where a hacker chooses to flood
your network with more requests than it can handle. While this type of attack
would not harm computers in the network, it could slow or even stop network
operations. You do not need to set up a firewall rule for this.
More information about the firewall and applying corporate grade security is
provided in the ‘Reference Manual’.

IP- Hostname (URL) Filtering
You may configure GlobeSurfer® III to block specific Internet sites so that they
cannot be accessed from computers in the local network. Moreover, restrictions
can be applied to a comprehensive, automatically updated, table of sites.
To view the table of Web sites currently being blocked: click the ‘Services’ and
‘Firewall’ icons and select the ‘Website Restrictions’ tab.

1. Click ‘New Entry’. The ‘Restricted Website’ dialog will appear.
2. Enter the IP address or URL of the web site that you want made inaccessible
from your local network; all pages within the site will be blocked. If the web site
address has multiple IP addresses then GlobeSurfer® III will resolve these and
add them to the restrictions table.
3. You can apply the filtering rule to all computers, or a specific one or a group.
From the ‘Local host’ drop-down list you can select ‘Any’ (i.e. all computers), a named computer or group from the list, or ‘User defined’ to create a
new group. To learn how to create groups and apply rules see the ‘Reference
Manual’.
4. Rules can follow a specified timetable. From the ‘Schedule’ drop-down list, you
can select a pre-defined schedule or click ‘User defined’ to create one. To learn
how to create a new time schedule, see the ‘Reference Manual’.

into one or more IP addresses) then ‘Resolved’ will appear.
Tip: Click ‘Refresh’ to view the new status.
If the site cannot be found, the status ‘Host name resolution failed’ will appear.
Try to access the site using your web browser:
• If you can verify that the site is available, then you probably entered the
address incorrectly. See ‘Modify a Web site address currently in the table’ on
page 53.
• If you cannot verify that the site is available then wait and try later: return to
the ‘Restrictions list’ screen and click ‘Resolve now’ to verify that the Web
site can be found and blocked by GlobeSurfer® III.
Modify a Web site address currently in the table
1. Click the ‘Edit’ icon in the ‘Action’ column to open the ‘Restricted website’ dialog.
2. Modify the ‘Restricted website’ address, ‘Local host’ and ‘Schedule’ as
required. Tip: Copy and paste the address from the browser address bar to the
Graphical User Interface, leaving out the “http://” at the beginning and the “/”
at the end of the address.
3. Click ‘OK’ to save the changes.
Ensuring that all IP addresses to Web-sites in the table are blocked
From the ‘Web Restrictions’ tab, click ‘Resolve now’. GlobeSurfer® III will ensure
that all IP addresses at each web site address in the table are included.
You may disable a restriction and make a web site available again without
removing it from the ‘Restrictions list’. This way you can make the site temporarily
available when you expect to block it again later:

MAC Address Filtering
A common method of restricting WLAN network access is to specify the Media
Access Control (MAC) address. Every WLAN network adapter is identified by its
MAC address. Specifying which computers can connect to your network can limit
network access to trusted computers. GlobeSurfer® III supports MAC filtering
based on a list of denied or allowed computers. MAC filtering mode ‘Allow’ specifies that the list of MAC addresses is granted access to GlobeSurfer® III. MAC
filtering mode ‘Deny’ specifies that all computers except those in the list of MAC
addresses are granted access to GlobeSurfer® III.
Before you set up your list of trusted MAC addresses, you have to know what they
are. A device’s MAC address is usually found on a sticker on the bottom of the
device. For internal wireless PCI cards, refer to your operating system documentation for instructions.
You can also type ‘ipconfig /all’ in the ‘Command Prompt’ in Windows® to locate
the MAC address. The MAC address displays as the physical address.

format is supported for ‘read’ only, and will not enable you to write to the disk. It is possible to re-format your external hard drive in FAT32 format through the GlobeSurfer® III
device if you require read/write functionality.
Please note: External Hard drives that require power over their USB cable (ie., are not
independently powered) should be connected to the GlobeSurfer® III while it is turned off,
or there is a risk the sudden power surge required to start the external hard drive may
cause the GlobeSurfer® III to ‘hang’. USB ‘memory stick’ storage devices can be connected to the GlobeSurfer® III at any point (ie., while the GlobeSurfer® III is turned
on or off).
To add an external hard disk drive to the GlobeSurfer® III device, and use it over the LAN,
follow the steps below.
1. Power off the GlobeSurfer® III if the external hard drive is powered via the USB cable
2. Connect the external hard disk drive, and then turn on the GlobeSurfer® III.
3. Log in to the browser Graphical User Interface.
4. Select the “File Server” icon from the Basic or Advanced Home Screen.

Once you insert your external hard drive to the USB port on the GlobeSurfer® III,
the browser will refresh to show the presence of the external device.
Select ‘Share’ in order to publish your external hard disk drive on the LAN.

Selecting ‘Share’ will create a link to your external hard drive, and should open a
new client window showing the contents of your external hard drive.

In order to configure your external hard drive device so that it is available every
time you insert it into the GlobeSurfer® III, then select “Map Network Drive” from
the Tools menu and assign a drive label (such as ‘G:’).

Please note: Due to the single USB port on the GlobeSurfer® III device, it is highly
recommended that external hard drives be separately powered. For external hard
drives that require power over their USB cable, it is highly recommended that the
hard drive be connected to the GlobeSurfer® III device while the GlobeSurfer® III is
turned off. In the event an external hard drive is connected to the GlobeSurfer® III
while it is turned on, the sudden power drain on the GlobeSurfer® III device while
the external hard drive initially powers up, may cause the GlobeSurfer® III to hang.

The GlobeSurfer® III Notifier Software
The GlobeSurfer® III now comes with its own software package (contained on
the CD) that enables clients to take full advantage of the features of the gateway
router, without needing to have the device resident on their desks, by their PC’s.
Due to its very nature, the GlobeSurfer® III could easily reside on a wall, on a
remote desk, or in another room entirely, where the signal strength is optimised,
therefore there is a good chance the GlobeSurfer® III colour display is out of the
users view. With this in mind, the “Notifier” software has been developed, so
clients can still be alerted to events as and when they occur.
Once installed, the “Notifer” will reside in the client system tray, and will wait for
events to occur. An event could be a text message being received, a telephone
call being received/missed, or important information about the well-being of the
GlobeSurfer® III device (such as firmware updates).
1. Text message display: shows the text message received, the originators
number being displayed above the message.
2. Missed calls received: displays the call line identity (if sent) and the date/time
of the missed telephone call. Multiple missed calls can be scrolled through by
pressing the left/right arrows on the right hand side.
3. Device characteristics: Information relating to the operating environment of the
GlobeSurfer® III device; Operator name and Number of connected users.

4. Text message scroll arrows: As with telephone calls, by pressing the right/left
arrows clients can scroll through current and previous text messages.
5. Signal strength and 3G or 2G connection status.
Text message receipt
When the GlobeSurfer® III receives a text message, the “Notifer” software will
display an alert on the client desktop. This alert will display the contect of the text
message, including the number the message originated from. The client can select
the message alert, by clicking on it, and will then be forwarded to the Text Message
facility within the web browser, in order to reply to, or delete the message.
Tool-tip
If the client ‘hovers’ the mouse over the system tray icon, information relating to
the operating status of the GlobeSurfer® III will be displayed, eg Operator, 2G/3G
status and signal strength.
Telephone call
When the client receives a telephone call, the “Notifier” will alert them with
another pop up display, showing the originators telephone number.
