Page 5 of 35 Introduction 1 This Chapter provides an overview of the DRG700 features and capabilities. Congratulations on the purchase of your new DRG700 router. The DRG700- is a multi-function digital residential gateway device that provides the following services: • Multiport GigabitEthernet Switch for 100BaseT or 1000BaseT connections. • Voice over IP Ports for IP telephones • Wireless Access Point for 802.11b/g/n wireless devices • TV Out coaxial connector Figure 1. DRG700 multi-functions in the broadband network DRG600 WiFi Features The DRG700 incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use. Internet Access Features • Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet through the DRG700, using only a single external IP Address. The local IP addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation) • Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet connection, the DRG700 supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address. • PPPoE support. Connecting to the Internet using Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is also supported.
DRG700 User Guide Introduction Page 6 of 35 Wireless Features • Standards Compliant. The DRG700 complies with the IEEE802.11 b/g/n specifications for Wireless LANs. • Supports both 802.11b and 802. 11g Wireless Stations. The 802.11 standard is backwards compatible with earlier versions, so both 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n wireless clients can be used simultaneously. • Speeds up to 300Mbps. All connection speeds up to the 802.11n maximum of 300 Mbps are supported. • WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. • WPA support. Support for WPA is included. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if possible. • WPA2 support. Support for WPA2 is also included. By default, WPA2 uses the extremely secure AES encryption method. • Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature can check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN. • Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed quickly and easily. LAN Features • 4 Port GigabitEthernet switch. The DRG700 incorporates a 4 port 100/1000BaseT gigabitethernet switch, making it easy to create and extend your LAN. • DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The DRG700 can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN. Configuration & Management • Easy Setup. Use your web browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN to configure the DRG700 connection (if permitted by service provider). • Network Diagnostics. You can use the DRG700 to perform a Ping, traceroute troubleshooting operation. Security Features • Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings. • Wireless LAN Security. WEP, WPA and WPA2 data encryption protocols are supported, as well as wireless access control, to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN. • NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the DRG700. • Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources. • Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The DRG700 incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

Page 23 of 35 Status Diagnostics In this page, you can use the network utilities ping and traceroute to troubleshoot the internet connection status. You can change the target websites by editing the URL in the appropriate text fields. Field Description Ping This is the target webpage used by the ping utility. Enter a new webpage using alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9), blank spaces are not allowed. You can enter the IP address for the target xxx.xxx.x.xxx if preferred. TraceRoute This is the target webpage used by the traceroute utility. Enter a new webpage using alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9), blank spaces are not allowed. You can enter the IP address for the target xxx.xxx.x.xxx if preferred. Using ping The ping tool is a network utility used to test whether a particular website is reachable across the Internet Protocol (IP) network. It also measures the round-trip time for packets sent from the DRG700 to a specified destination. Use this to verify that the DRG700 has internet access. FIXME: example of successful/unsuccessful ping requests Using traceroute The traceroute tool is a network utility used to show the route taken by packets across the IP network. The tool sends successive batches of packets and increases the number of servers that the packets traverse on their way to the target destination. The returning packets then produce a list of hosts that the packets have passed through to reach the destination. In this way, statistics are produced that can help identify routin problems, for example if a firewall configuration is blocking some types of traffic.

Page 28 of 35 Network Under this tab, you can configure the user settings for the following network interfaces: • WAN • LAN • Wireless WAN Configuration Field Description WAN status This will show "Enabled" or "Disabled". If "Enabled", the Internet IP Address from your ISP is allocated automatically upon connection. (Dynamic IP Address). If "Disabled", the Internet IP Address from your ISP is Fixed or Static. Connection Type This is the method used to assign the IP address for the DRG700. In most cases, it will be DHCP. Interface The WAN interface is always eth0
Page 30 of 35 LAN Configuration Parameter Description LAN status If Enabled, the DRG700 will allocate IP Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (and recommended) value is Enabled. If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to treat the DRG600-WiFi as the default Gateway. LAN IP Address IP address for the DRG600-WiFi, as seen from the local LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN. Netmask The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C") networks. For other networks, use the Network Mask for the LAN segment to which the DRG700 is attached. i.e. the same value as the PCs on that LAN segment.
Page 31 of 35 Wireless Configuration The wireless configuration page allows you to configure the parameters for the wireless network. For example, you may wish to change the default SSID and password. Field Description Radio By default ON, this broadcast Country Select your country from the drop-down list. This field displays the country of operation for which the wireless interface is intended. It may not be legal to operate the router in another country. If your country is not listed, please check with your local government agency for more information on which channels you are allowed to use, and select a country which allows those channels. (The channel list changes according to the selected region.) Mode Mixed 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n- This is the default setting, and should normally be used. All 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n wireless devices can use the wireless network.. 802.11g - Only 802.11g devices can use the wireless network 802.11b - Only 802.11b devices can use the wireless network. 802.11n - Only 802.11n devices can use the wireless network.
Page 32 of 35 Mixed 802.11b and 802.11g – Excludes 802.11n devices from the wireless network. Mixed 802.11g and 802.11n – Excludes 802.11b devices from the wireless network. Channel This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access point. The default is Auto. Channel Width IEEE802.11n allows for the use of wideband channels (40MHz). This effectively doubles the bandwidth of the data channel.NOTE: It should be noted however, that selecting 40MHz channel bandwidth will adversely affect any other nearby WLANs. Therefore, as required by the standard, if other WLANs are detected the bandwidth used will fall back to 20MHz. Channel Ext Rate Adjusts the power strength of the wireless signal. Reducing the power strength may reduce the wireless coverage. WMM WMM (Wireless Multi Media) enables DSCP and VLAN tag based QoS. SSID The name of the wireless network Broadcast SSID On your PC, some wireless status screens may display the SSID as the Access Point in use. If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access points) this ID is called an ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier). To communicate, all wireless devices should use the same SSID/ESSID for the network. Authentication method The current wireless security encryption method is displayed. Default value is WPA2-PSK. Click the drop down list to select alternative encryption methods. See Wireless security for more information. WPA Encryption Default is AES. See Wireless security for more information Key The key used for the selected encryption method. See “Wireless security” for more information.
Page 33 of 35 Wireless Security There are four options for Wireless security: • Disabled - no data encryption is used. It is strongly recommended that this mode is not used. All WLAN data will be visible to anyone with range of the WLAN. • WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard. The WEP protocol is severely compromised and, therefore, it is strongly recommended that this mode is not used. • WPA -PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA standard. This is a later standard than WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. • WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and the best level of security. It is strongly recommended that this method is used.
