3. Quick Start Guide A brief overview of setting up your IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router Welcome to IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router! Your IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router is a versatile network component that satisfies the needs of novice and most sophisticated network administrators. This quick start guide will get you connected to Internet in a number of easy steps. Before you start, please gather the Internet connection information from your ISP. You will need to install and configure an Ethernet card properly to obtain a dynamic IP address on a computer. Depending on your network configuration, you might need an Ethernet hub / switch and enough Ethernet cables to connect every computer to the Ethernet hub / switch. To start using IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router : 1. Follow the steps in setting up the hardware in previous chapter and point your browser to http://192.168.1.254 to get the graphical user interface (GUI) screen. 2 Enter username/password which set to admin/admin as default value. 3. Click on the WAN tab and enter the Wide Area information provided by your ISP, click the Update button. 4. Click on the DNS tab and enter the Domain Name Service information provided by your ISP, click the Update button to confirm. 5. Click on Save Changed and Restart the system. 6. Enjoy the Internet
4. Understanding the User Interface Navigation rules IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router has a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that can be accessed using a standard HTML (HTTP v1.0) compliant browser. Once the LAN is properly connected, a network administrator can connect to it through the URL http://192.168.1.254 The GUI has two main navigational components: Tabs and Menus. Each Tab represents a major group of functions that a user can configure and is located on the top part of the screen. The Home tab presents version information as well as a brief feature list. The Networking tab includes all the essential configuration items required to get a LAN up and running. The Security tab provides configuration items that control firewall behavior. By default, IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router comes configured to lock out unsolicited network connections. To allow specific services to be allowed through IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router, some modifications under this tab is required. The Intranet tab accommodates changes that are LAN specific. Under this tab, a network administrator can specify rules for the assignment of IP addresses as well as manipulate tools that improve local area network performance and resource availability, such as the transparent proxy cache. The Administration Tab provides control, monitoring and troubleshooting tools. The Help Tab provides additional context sensitive information. Menus are located at the left side of the screen to provide additional navigation for tab components. After each session involving configuration modifications, the changes should be saved and the system should be restarted to activate the changes.
5. Basic Configuration First things first This chapter covers the use of all the configuration items under the Networking Tab. Once configured, you should be able to securely access the Internet through your IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router. Wide Area Network (WAN) The Internet is made up of wide area networks (WAN) and local area networks (LAN). Each local area network connects to the Internet through a wide area network. The IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router is the gateway used by your LAN to connect to your WAN. Your WAN is provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) using a WAN medium (Cable/DSL modem or T1/E1/ISDN CSU/DSU connection). You will need information provided by your ISP to complete this step. Depending on your WAN medium, your ISP may provide you with either a static or dynamic (DHCP/BootP) connection. This information should be included in the package that came from your ISP. Generally, if your ISP has provided you with a fixed IP address, you have a static IP address. If your ISP has provided a username and password, you have a PPPoE link. If your ISP provided neither an IP address or username/password pair, you most likely have a DHCP based connection. If unsure, contact your Internet Service Provider customer support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) based configurations do not require further setup since IP address, gateway and DNS information are automatically set by the ISP.
5.1. WIZARD When you first connected to IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router, you will need to complete the setup by answering a sequence of questions provided by the Configuration Wizard. 5.1.1.

5.2.5. Configuring IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router to Use a PPTP Connection 1. Click on Connection Type under WAN1 Interface in the Networking tab. 2. Click on ADSL-PPTP and press Apply. 3. Enter My IP Address (192.168.100.100), My Subnet Mask (ex: 255.255.255.0), Server IP Address (ex: 192.168.100.1), PPTP Account (ex: 123456) , PPTP Password (ex: 123456) and press Apply.
5.2.6. Configuring the DNS Service Domain Name Service (DNS) Domain name service helps you to work with IP addresses by mapping them out to simple “human readable “ names. IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router needs the correct values for certain LAN side client services (like web-browsing) to work properly. The DNS server IP addresses should be provided to you by your ISP. 1. Click on DNS Settings under WAN1 Interface in the Networking tab. 2. Enter DNS IP address your ISP gave to you. 3. Press Apply button.
5.2.7. Cloning a MAC Address Some ISPs audit connections using the MAC addresses. These systems only allow “registered” MAC address to connect to the Internet. To circumvent this obstacle, IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router provides a“ MAC Cloning” feature which allows the Network Administrator to modify the MAC address that is reported to the ISP. This feature facilitates the use of IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router in such environments. 1. Click on MAC Cloning under WAN1 Interface in the Networking tab. 2. Enter MAC Address (ex: 12:35:84:95:23:11) and press Apply.
5.2.8. Dynamic DNS Configuration Conventional DNS information associates a static IP address with a human readable machine name, for use on the World Wide Web. When a DNS server receives a name lookup request, it compares it against a list of published IP-host name associations. Once a match is found, the server replies with either the IP address or host name. Since the published lists are static, conventional DNS servers are unable to map DHCP or PPPoE configured hosts as the configuration protocols do not guarantee that the host computer will always have the same IP address. (thus, the IP address-hostname mapping will not always be correct). Dynamic DNS overcomes the fixed IP requirement of conventional DNS by running a daemon that automatically updates DNS server information. To avail of this service, you will have to register with one of several dynamic DNS service providers and configure IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router to forward IP address changes to the dynamic DNS server. This feature is particularly useful for providing WAN side services (e.g. HTTP or FTP). 1. Click on Dynamic DNS under WAN1 Interface in the Networking tab. 2. Click on Enable. 3. Choose Service Provider form combo box (ex: www.dyndns.org). 4. Enter Host Name (ex: 1234), Username (ex: 123564), Password (ex: 123564). 5. If necessary, click on Enable Wildcard and enter Mail Exchanger (ex: mail.123564.com). 6. Press Apply.
5.2.9. LAN Interface Configuration In this section, you specify the IP address that the IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router will use. IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router uses 192.168.1.1 as its default address, with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 (Class C netmask) . This IP is used as the default router for the LAN as well as the Web server address for the IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router configuration interface. IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router allows a single Internet account to be shared by several computers. This is done through a principle called Network Address Translation (or NAT). Connection requests from LAN side computers are translated into the single IP address provided through the ISP account. IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router tracks each individual LAN client connection in a way that the process is transparent to the LAN side computers. The NAT mechanism also provides part of the firewall features of IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router since only LAN side initiated connections are translated. WAN side connection attempts are ignored unless specifically configured to be accepted (see chapter on Security). 1. Click on IP Setting under LAN Interface in the Networking tab. 2. Enter Host Name, IP address and press Apply.
5.2.10. Virtual DMZ Configuration The virtual DMZ is used to enable protocols which need to open ports on the gateway. The Gateway will forward all unspecified incoming traffic to the host specified in this page. Therefore, since it is very close to one-to-one NAT mapping, most protocols can be supported. In general, Internet applications use only one unique port and can pass through a NAT Router by enabling Virtual Server. However, some special applications need to implement multiple ports, port ranges, dynamically assigned ports, and special protocols. IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router can support the transparent pass-through of these special applications, such as NetMeeting/H.323, and ICQ etc. Enable Virtual DMZ when you have problems running these applications. 1. Click on Virtual DMZ under DMZ in the Networking tab. 2. Enter Host IP address and press Apply.
5.2.11. NAT Configuration (Static Connection) SET UP ONE-TO-MANY NAT WITH WAN1 INTERFACE 1. Click on NAT under WAN1 Interface in the Networking tab. 2. Click on One-to-Many NAT and press Apply. SET UP MANY-TO-MANY NAT WITH WAN1 INTERFACE 1. Click on NAT under WAN1 Interface in the Networking tab. 2. Click on Advanced Setting. 3. Enter Public IP Range (ex: 61.220.168.202-61.220.168.206). 4. Press Apply. SET UP ONE-TO-ONE NAT WITH WAN1 INTERFACE 1. Click on NAT under WAN Interface in the Networking tab. 2. Click on Advanced Setting. 3. Enter Public IP in WAN (ex: 61.220.168.204), Private IP in LAN (ex: 192.168.1.50). 4. Press Apply.
5.2.12. Router Service Configuration DYNAMIC ROUTING 1. On Dynamic Routing under Router Services in the Networking tab. 2. Click on Yes to enable RIP support. 3. Choose on Version 1 of Send and Receive Protocol. 4. Press Apply.

5.3. SECURITY IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router is the key to controlling the flow of information A real world firewall is built between buildings to slow down the progress of a disaster, and preserve valuable life and property. Network firewalls are put between networks to control the amount of information that flows through them. One of the fundamental goals of a firewall is to prevent unwanted connections from the outside of the network from entering the LAN. On the other hand, a firewall can also block connection from LAN to the Internet. A common practice of this feature is the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) blocking used by parents to limit access to certain Internet sites for their children. The Security tab enables the network administrator to fine-tune or customize various features of the IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router firewall. Packet Internet Groper (PING) Packet Internet Groper (or”Ping” is a very useful utility used by network administrators to determine if a computer is up and running. The ping program sends a small packet to an address, if there is a computer assigned to the address, it sends a reply. Ping uses the Internet Control Messaging Protocol (ICMP). IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router can be configured not to reply to PING requests.
5.3.1. Disabling ICMP Replies 1. Click on ICMP Blocking under Firewall in the Networking tab. 2. Click on No and press Apply. Keeping Stuff out IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router blocks all traffic from WAN side computers from getting into your LAN by default. On the other hand, LAN clients can connect to any computer that is on the Internet. This behavior can be modified to prevent particular (or all) LAN clients from accessing certain WAN side IP addresses. These features are useful for network administrators of offices or households that have policies or guidelines about the proper use of the Internet.
5.3.2. Blocking Individual (or Service Port) of IP Address on the Internet 1. Click on the Security tab. 2. Under the Firewall menu item, click on Incoming Policy. 3. Enter the IP address and port number (or range) to be blocked onto the corresponding text box at the bottom of the list (marked New) according the following figure. 4. Click combo box and select PERMIT / DENY action. 5. Check Enable box to log the event 6. Press Apply.
