7 2. Wireless LAN Networking This section provides background information on wireless LAN networking technology. Consult the Glossary for definitions of the terminology used in this section. THE INFORMATION IN THIS SECTION IS FOR YOUR REFERENCE. CHANGING NETWORK SETTINGS AND PARTICULARLY SECURITY SETTTINGS SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY AN AUTHORIZED ADMINISTRATOR. Transmission Rate (Transfer Rate) The TEW-691GR provides various transmission (data) rate options for you to select. In most networking scenarios, the factory default Best (automatic) setting proves the most efficient. This setting allows your TEW-691GR to operate at the maximum transmission (data) rate. When the communication quality drops below a certain level, the TEW-691GR automatically switches to a lower transmission (data) rate. Transmission at lower data speeds is usually more reliable. However, when the communication quality improves again, the TEW-691GR gradually increases the transmission (data) rate again until it reaches the highest available transmission rate. 2.1 Introduction The TEW-691GR 2.4GHz 450Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router is an high-performance, wireless router that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places. Unlike most routers, the TEW-691GR provides data transfers at up to 450Mbps when using 11n connection. This router is also back compatible with 802.11g or 11b devices. This means that you do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity. You may sacrifice some of 11n’s speed when you mix 11n and 11b/g devices, but you will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 11n standard into your 11b/g network. You may choose to slowly change your network by gradually replacing the 11b/g devices with 11n devices. 2.2 Features  Supports draft IEEE 802.11n & 11b/g 2.4GHz wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) application  2.412 to 2.472GHz frequency band operation, the operation frequency range for US model is limited to channel 1 to 11  Compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u & 802.3ab standards  Support OFDM and CCK modulation  High-Speed up to 450Mbps Data Rate using IEEE 802.11n 3x3 connection  Supports Cable/DSL Modems with Dynamic IP, Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP Connection Types

10 3.3 Installation Considerations The TEW-691GR 2.4GHz Wireless N Gigabit Router lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines: 1 Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the TEW-691GR and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized. 2 Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception. 3 Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials. 4 Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate extreme RF noise. 3.4 Getting Started For a typical wireless setup at home, please do the following: 1. You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line into your home or office) 2. Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem. 3. Connect the Cable or DSL modem to the TEW-691GR Wireless Broadband Router (WAN port). 4. Ethernet LAN ports of the TEW-691GR are Auto MDI/MDIX and will work with both Straight-Through and Cross-Over cable.
11 4. Using the Configuration Menu Whenever you want to configure your TEW-691GR, you can access the Configuration Menu through your PC by opening the Web-browser and typing in the IP Address of the TEW-691GR. The TEW-691GR’s default IP Address is http://192.168.10.1 ¾ Open the Web browser. ¾ Type in the IP Address of the Router (http://192.168.10.1 ) If you have changed the default IP Address assigned to the TEW-691GR, make sure to enter the correct IP Address. ¾ Select admin in the User Name field. ¾ Leave the Password blank. ¾ Click Login In.
12 4.1 Network 4.1.1. Network: WAN Setting WAN Connection Type There are several connection types to choose from: Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and Russia PPTP. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your Internet Service Provider. Static Used when your ISP provides you a set IP address that does not change. The IP information is manually entered in your IP configuration settings. You must enter the IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary DNS Server, and Secondary DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with all of this information. DHCP A method of connection where the ISP assigns your IP address when your router requests one from the ISP's server. Host Name: Some ISP's may check your computer's Host Name. The Host Name identifies your system to the ISP's server. PPPoE Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) connection. DSL providers typically use this option. This method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet. Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to set the reconnection mode. The settings are: Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
13 On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed. Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet. Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual" reconnect modes. L2TP L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP. This method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet. L2TP Server IP Address: The ISP provides this parameter, if necessary. The value may be the same as the Gateway IP Address. Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to set the reconnection mode. The settings are: Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained. On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed. Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet. Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual" reconnect modes. WAN Interface IP Type Static: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP provides the values for the following fields for WAN Interface IP Setting: IP Address, Subnet Mask , Default Gateway. Dynamic: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a connection, select this option. PPTP PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP. This method of connection is primarily used in Europe. This method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet. PPTP Server IP Address: The ISP provides this parameter, if necessary. The value may be the same as the Gateway IP Address. Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to set the reconnection mode. The settings are: Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained. On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed. Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet. Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual" reconnect modes. WAN Interface IP Type Static: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP provides the values for the following fields for WAN Interface IP Setting: IP Address, Subnet Mask , Default Gateway, and optional for DNS Server Dynamic: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a connection, select this option. Russia PPTP The Russia PPTP can configure IP address on the WAN interface and establish PPTP to get IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS for ANOTHER logical IP interface on WAN port. So the physical WAN port will have 2 logical IP interfaces and can communicate with
14 internal ISP’s network resources and also communicate with Internet through PPTP tunnel. It is specified by Russia Cobrina ISP, user can configure it the same as the normal PPTP and PPTP server IP Address can use the domain name string. WAN MTU Setting The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest packet size (in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger packets, the router will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the connection to your ISP. Typical values are 1500 bytes for an Ethernet connection and 1492 bytes for a PPPoE connection. If the router's MTU is set too high, packets will be fragmented downstream. If the router's MTU is set too low, the router will fragment packets unnecessarily and in extreme cases may be unable to establish some connections. In either case, network performance can suffer. t modes. MAC Address Clone Each networking device has it's own unique MAC address defined by the hardware manufacturer. Some ISP's may check your computer's MAC address. Some ISP's record the MAC address of the network adapter in the computer or router used to initially connect to their service. The ISP will then only grant Internet access to requests from a computer or router with this particular MAC address. This router has a different MAC address than the computer or router that initially connected to the ISP. If you need to change the MAC address of the rounter's WAN-side Ethernet interface, either type in an alternate MAC address (for example, the MAC address of the router initially connected to the ISP) or copy the MAC address of a PC. To copy the MAC address of the computer that initially connected to the ISP, connect to the router using that computer and click the Clone Your PC's MAC Address button. The WAN interface will then use the MAC address of the network adapter in your computer.
15 4.1.2. Network: LAN Setting IP Address The IP address of the this device on the local area network. Assign any unused IP address in the range of IP addresses available for the LAN. Subnet Mask The subnet mask of the local area network. DHCP Server Settings
16 DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP section is where you configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the computers and other devices on your local area network (LAN). Enable DHCP Server Once your router is properly configured and this option is enabled, the DHCP Server will manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other devices connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself. The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP configuration set to "DHCP" or "Obtain an IP address automatically". When you set Enable DHCP Server, the following options are displayed. DHCP IP Address Range These two IP values (Start and End) define a range of IP addresses that the DHCP Server uses when assigning addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area Network. Any addresses that are outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server; these could, therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain network address details automatically. It is possible for a computer or device that is manually configured to have an address that does reside within this range. In this case the address should be reserved, so that the DHCP Server knows that this specific address can only be used by a specific computer or device. Your router, by default, has a static IP address of 192.168.10.1. This means that addresses 192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.254 can be made available for allocation by the DHCP Server. Subnet Mask The subnet mask of the local area network. Gateway The IP address of the router on the local area network. For example, 192.168.10.1. DHCP Lease Time The amount of time that a computer may have an IP address before it is required to renew the lease. The lease functions just as a lease on an apartment would. The initial lease designates the amount of time before the lease expires. If the tenant wishes to retain the address when the lease is expired then a new lease is established. If the lease expires and the address is no longer needed than another tenant may use the address. Add/Edit DHCP Reservation This option lets you reserve IP addresses, and assign the same IP address to the network device with the specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This is almost the same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must still request an IP address from the router. The router will provide the device the same IP address every time. DHCP Reservations are helpful for server computers on the local network that are hosting applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your network should either use a static IP address or use this option. Computer Name You can assign a name for each computer that is given a reserved IP address. This may help you keep track of which computers are assigned this way. Example: Game Server. IP Address: The LAN address that you want to reserve. MAC Address To input the MAC address of your system, enter it in manually or connect to the router's Web-Management interface from the system and click the Copy Your PC's MAC Address button. A MAC address is usually located on a sticker on the bottom of a network device. The MAC address is comprised of twelve digits. Each pair of hexadecimal digits are usually separated by dashes or colons such as 00-0D-88-11-22-33 or 00:0D:88:11:22:33. If your network device is a
17 computer and the network card is already located inside the computer, you can connect to the router from the computer and click the Copy Your PC's MAC Address button to enter the MAC address. Clear Re-initialize this area of the screen, discarding any changes you have made. DHCP Reservations List This shows clients that you have specified to reserve DHCP addresses. Click the Enable checkbox at the left to directly activate or de-activate the entry. An entry can be changed by clicking the Edit icon or can be deleted by clicking the Delete icon.

20 4.2 Wireless 4.2.1 Wireless: Basic Radio On/Off This indicates the wireless operating status. The wireless can be turned on or off by the slide switch. When the radio is on, the following parameters are in effect. Wireless Mode If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this router can connect in the same transmission mode, you can improve performance slightly by choosing the appropriate wireless mode. If you have some devices that use a different transmission mode, choose the appropriate wireless mode. The TEW-691GR supports 2.4GHz wireless networks. There are many different configuration options available to choose from. Use the drop down list to select the wireless mode.
21 Note: One wireless mode can be selected can select at any one time. This means that you can only select one of the operating frequency at a time. Wireless Mode options 2.4GHz 802.11b/g mixed mode - This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and will allow both wireless b and wireless g client to connect and access the TEW-691GR at 11Mbps for wireless b, at 54Mbps for wireless g and share access at the same time. Although the wireless b/g operates in the 2.4GHz frequency, it will allow the use of other 2.4GHz client devices (Wireless n/g @ 54Mbps) to connect and access at the same time. 2.4GHz 802.11 n only – This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and will only allow the use of wireless n client devices to connect and access the TEW-691GR up to 450Mbps*. Although the wireless n operates in the 2.4GHz frequency, this mode will only permit wireless n client devices to work and will exclude any other wireless mode and devices that are not wireless n only. 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n mixed mode - This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and will only allow the use of wireless g client devices to connect and access the TEW-691GR at 11Mbps for wireless b, 54Mbps for wireless g and up to 450Mbps* for wireless n and share access at the same time. Although the wireless b/g/n operates in the same 2.4GHz frequency, it will allow the use of other 2.4GHz client devices (Wireless b/g/n) to connect and access at the same time. *Maximum wireless signal rates are referenced from IEEE 802.11 theoretical specifications. Actual data throughput and coverage will vary depending on interference, network traffic, building materials and other conditions. Wireless Network Name (SSID) When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list (unless Visibility Status is set to Invisible, see below). This name is also referred to as the SSID. For security purposes, it is highly recommended to change from the pre-configured network name. Add up to three additional SSIDs to create virtual wireless networks from one wireless Router Access Point device. Add Additional Wireless Network Name (SSID) To add additional wireless Network Names simply add the name to the Multiple SSID field and click on apply at the bottom of the page. When finished, go to the Security section in this Users Guide for wireless security configuration. Frequency (Channel) A wireless network uses specific channels in the wireless spectrum to handle communication between clients. Some channels in your area may have interference from other electronic devices. Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the performance and coverage of your wireless network. Wireless Distribution System (WDS) When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless repeater and is able to wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links. A WDS link is bidirectional; so this AP must know the MAC Address (creates the WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must have a WDS link back to this AP. Make sure the APs are configured with same channel. (Note that WDS security is incompatible with mixed mode, like WPAPSK+WPA2PSK mixed, WEP AUTO and 802.1x, both feature cannot be used at the same time). Configuring WDS with TEW-691GR Enable the option for WDS and input the MAC Address of the wireless device that also supports WDS in to the blank fields. You can add up to four additional devices in the spaces provided. Click on apply at the bottom of the page, to apply your setting changes. Enable the security seeing in security page, each WDS APs need to use same security setting. (Note: WDS supports wireless g/n modes. The use multiple Access Point will reduces the overall network throughput to ½ the TEW-691GR. HT Physical Mode In HT (High Throughput) Physical mode setting allow for control of the 802.11n wireless environment.
22 Operating Mode  Mixed Mode  Green Field Mixed Mode: In this mode packets are transmitted with a preamble compatible with the legacy 802.11a/g, the rest of the packet has a new format. In this mode the receiver shall be able to decode both the Mixed Mode packets and legacy packets. Green Field: In this mode high throughput packets are transmitted without a legacy compatible part. Channel BandWidth: Set channel width of wireless radio.  20  20/40 20 Channel Width = 20 MHz 20/40 Channel Width = 20/40 MHz Guard Interval: Support Short/Long GI, the purpose of the guard interval is to introduce immunity to propagation delays, echoes and reflections, to which digital data is normally very sensitive.  Long  Auto Long Guard Interval, 800 nsec Short Guard Interval, 400 nsec MCS: Fix MCS rate for HT rate.  0-15 The Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) is a value that determines the modulation, coding and number of spatial channels. 802.11
23 4.2.2 Wireless: Advanced Beacon Interval Beacons are packets sent by a wireless router to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds. DTIM A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255. Fragmentation Threshold Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments) to improve performance in the presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when frame size in bytes is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value of 2346 bytes. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance. RTS Threshold When an excessive number of wireless packet collisions are occurring, wireless performance can be improved by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake protocol. The wireless transmitter will begin to send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when data frame size in bytes is greater than the RTS Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value of 2346 bytes. Short Preamble and Slot Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput. However, it can also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections. Select the option that works best for your installation. TX Burst Allows the wireless Router to deliver better throughput in the same period and environment in order to increase speed. Pkt_Aggregate
24 Increase efficiency by aggregating multiple packets of application data into a single transmission frame. In this way, 802.11n networks can send multiple data packets with the fixed overhead cost of just a single frame.
25 4.2.3 Wireless: Security Security Mode Unless one of these encryption modes is selected, wireless transmissions to and from your wireless network can be easily intercepted and interpreted by unauthorized users. WEP A method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide the same level of privacy as a wired network. WEP is not as secure as WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily. A default key is selected for use on the network. Key Length Hex ASCII 64-bit 10 characters 5 characters 128-bit 26 characters 13 characters WPA-Personal and WPA-Enterprise Both of these options select some variant of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) -- security standards published by the Wi-Fi Alliance. The WPA Mode further refines the variant that the router should employ.
26 WPA Mode: WPA is the older standard; select this option if the clients that will be used with the router only support the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation of the stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard. With the "WPA2" option, the router tries WPA2 first, but falls back to WPA if the client only supports WPA. With the "WPA2 Only" option, the router associates only with clients that also support WPA2 security. Cipher Type: The encryption algorithm used to secure the data communication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based encryption. With the "TKIP and AES" option, the router negotiates the cipher type with the client, and uses AES when available. Group Key Update Interval: The amount of time before the group key used for broadcast and multicast data is changed. WPA-Personal This option uses Wi-Fi Protected Access with a Pre-Shared Key (PSK). Pre-Shared Key: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric characters in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to generate session keys that are unique for each wireless client. WPA-Enterprise This option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate wireless clients. Wireless clients should have established the necessary credentials before attempting to authenticate to the Server through this Gateway. Furthermore, it may be necessary to configure the RADIUS Server to allow this Gateway to authenticate users. Authentication Timeout: Amount of time before a client will be required to re-authenticate. RADIUS Server IP Address: The IP address of the authentication server. RADIUS Server Port: The port number used to connect to the authentication server. RADIUS Server Shared Secret: A pass-phrase that must match with the authentication server. WPA/WPA2 mixed environment For those WPA2 stations, they will use AES for unicast. For those WPA stations, they will use TKIP for unicast. But for multicast all WPA and WPA2 stations have to use the same key, and that will be TKIP, because WPA station only knows about TKIP, WPA2 is new standard, so it is defined to backward support TKIP on multicast. Wireless MAC Filtering Choose the type of MAC filtering needed. Turn MAC Filtering Disable: When "Disable" is selected, MAC addresses are not used to control network access. Add MAC Filtering Rule Use this section to add MAC addresses to the list below. MAC Address Enter the MAC address of a computer that you want to control with MAC filtering. Computers that have obtained an IP address from the router's DHCP server will be in the DHCP Client List. Select a device from the drop down menu. The rule of thumb: In mixed mode, multicast key has to be TKIP, but unicast key can be different per stations. In WPA or WPA2 only mode, unicast and multicast key can be only AES for WPA2, and TKIP
27 for WPA. (AES means the unicast and multicast key are all AES. TKIP/AES means multicast is TKIP. But unicast can be AES or TKIP, which depends on the peer.)
28 4.2.4 Wireless: WPS
29 Enable Enable the WPS feature. Lock Wireless Security Settings Locking the wireless security settings prevents the settings from being changed by any new external registrar using its PIN. Devices can still be added to the wireless network using WPS. PIN Settings A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the router to an existing network or to create a new network. The default PIN may be printed on the bottom of the router. For extra security, a new PIN can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at any time. Only the Administrator ("admin" account) can change or reset the PIN. Current PIN Shows the current value of the router's PIN. Reset To WPS Default Restore the default PIN of the router. Generate New PIN Create a random number that is a valid PIN. This becomes the router's PIN. You can then copy this PIN to the user interface of the registrar. PBC Settings The push button method can be used to allow wireless clients to connect to the router without entering/remember any encryption keys. The user can use the PBC method by pressing the WPS button on the side of the router or select the PBC option under Wireless/WPS settings page and hit Apply.
30 4.2.5 Wireless: Station List All the wireless clients connecting to the router will be shown here, you could monitor your network and prevent any unauthorized wireless connection easily.
31 4.3 Advanced 4.3.1 Advanced: DMZ DMZ Setting DMZ means "Demilitarized Zone." If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that computer. When a LAN host is configured as a DMZ host, it becomes the destination for all incoming packets that do not match some other incoming session or rule. If any other ingress rule is in place, that will be used instead of sending packets to the DMZ host; so, an active session, virtual server, active port trigger, or port forwarding rule will take priority over sending a packet to the DMZ host. (The DMZ policy resembles a default port forwarding rule that forwards every port that is not specifically sent anywhere else.) The router provides only limited firewall protection for the DMZ host. The router does not forward a TCP packet that does not match an active DMZ session, unless it is a connection establishment packet (SYN). Except for this limited protection, the DMZ host is effectively "outside the firewall". Anyone considering using a DMZ host should also consider running a firewall on that DMZ host system to provide additional protection. Packets received by the DMZ host have their IP addresses translated from the WAN-side IP address of the router to the LAN-side IP address of the DMZ host. However, port numbers are not translated; so applications on the DMZ host can depend on specific port numbers. The DMZ capability is just one of several means for allowing incoming requests that might appear unsolicited to the NAT. In general, the DMZ host should be used only if there are no other alternatives, because it is much more exposed to cyberattacks than any other system on the LAN. Thought should be given to using other configurations instead: a virtual server, a port forwarding rule, or a port trigger. Virtual servers open one port for incoming sessions bound for a specific application (and also allow port redirection and the use of ALGs). Port forwarding is rather like a selective DMZ, where incoming traffic targeted at one or more ports is forwarded to a specific LAN host (thereby not exposing as many ports as a DMZ host).
32 Port triggering is a special form of port forwarding, which is activated by outgoing traffic, and for which ports are only forwarded while the trigger is active. Few applications truly require the use of the DMZ host. Following are examples of when a DMZ host might be required: ‧ A host needs to support several applications that might use overlapping ingress ports such that two port forwarding rules cannot be used because they would potentially be in conflict. ‧ To handle incoming connections that use a protocol other than ICMP, TCP, UDP, and IGMP (also GRE and ESP, when these protocols are enabled by the PPTP and IPSec Enable DMZ Putting a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only recommended as a last resort. DMZ IP Address Specify the LAN IP address of the LAN computer that you want to have unrestricted Internet communication.
33 4.3.2 Advanced: Virtual Server Enable Specifies whether the entry will be active or inactive. Name Assign a meaningful name to the virtual server, for example Web Server. Several well-known types of virtual server are available from the "Application Name" drop-down list. Selecting one of these entries fills some of the remaining parameters with standard values for that type of server. IP Address The IP address of the system on your internal network that will provide the virtual service, for example 192.168.10.50. You can select a computer from the list of DHCP clients in the "Computer Name" drop-down menu, or you can manually enter the IP address of the server computer. Protocol Select the protocol used by the service. The common choices -- UDP, TCP, and both UDP and TCP -- can be selected from the drop-down menu. To specify any other protocol, select "Other" from the list, then enter the corresponding protocol number (as assigned by the IANA) in the Protocol box. Private Port The port that will be used on your internal network. Public Port The port that will be accessed from the Internet. Schedule

35 4.3.3 Advanced: Routing Add/Edit Route Adds a new route to the IP routing table or edits an existing route. Destination IP The IP address of packets that will take this route. Gateway Specifies the next hop to be taken if this route is used. A gateway of 0.0.0.0 implies there is no next hop, and the IP address matched is directly connected to the router on the interface specified: LAN or WAN. Metric The route metric is a value from 1 to 16 that indicates the cost of using this route. A value of 1 is the lowest cost, and 15 is the highest cost. A value of 16 indicates that the route is not reachable from this router. When trying to reach a particular destination, computers on your network will select the best route, ignoring unreachable routes. Interface Specifies the interface -- LAN or WAN -- that the IP packet must use to transit out of the router, when this route is used.
