A Draft 3 86 January 2004 VersaLink™ Small Business Router User Guide PPPoE = Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet Bridge = Bridge Protocol Classical IPoA = Internet Protocol over ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode). This is an ATM encapsulation of the IP protocol. Status The protocol status. VC 1 Bridge Settings Bridge = A bridge is a layer 2 device that connects two segments of the same LAN that use the same protocol such as Ethernet. The modem does not have a WAN IP address in this mode. The client PC will typically get an IP address form a DHCP server in the network or it can be assigned statically. Routed Bridge = Routed Bridged Encapsulation (RBE) is the process by which a bridged segment is terminated on a routed interface. Specifically, VersaLink is routing on an IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet header carried over RFC 1483 bridged ATM. RBE was developed to address the known RFC1483 bridging issues, including broadcast storms and security. The modem will get a WAN IP address through DHCP or can be assigned statically. NAT will use the global address assigned to the modem. Proxy Bridge = Proxy Bridge is the process in which the modem acts as a proxy ARP agent for a local public subnet. The modem will be assigned an IP address from within that public subnet. The modem will direct all traffic to a VersaLink, which is configured statically. VersaLink address must not reside within VersaLink’s assigned public subnet. All traffic will be sent via VersaLink’s MAC address. The LAN may also have a private NAT'ed network. NAT will use the global address assigned to the modem. Mode VLAN = Assigns VLAN tags to individual data ports on the modem. If you selected the Routed Bridge mode under VC 1- Bridge Settings, the following screen will be displayed.

The System Self Test will run a diagnostic test that executes independent of firewall security settings. See the following table for test descriptions and possible responses. If you want to PING using the MS-DOS (shell) window, first you will need to check your firewall security setting. (If you PING via DOS shell you are susceptible to firewall rules, as this PING is dependent on VersaLink's firewall settings.) If your firewall is set to Medium or High, you will not be able to PING. You must set your firewall security setting to Low or None. Connection/Status DSL VersaLink checks the status of the DSL connection. Possible responses are: UP: VersaLink is operating correctly and has obtained synchronization with the opposing network device. DOWN: VersaLink is operating correctly, but has not synchronized with the opposing device. PPPoE Indicates that a PPPoE session is or is not established. Possible responses are: Session UP: A valid PPPoE session has been detected. No Session: Currently there is no active PPPoE session established. Initiating Session: A PPP session must be connected from the homepage screen. PPP Indicates that a PPPoE or PPPoA session must already be established. Possible responses are: Connection UP: VersaLink has established a connection No Connection: There is no PPP connection Initiating Connection: The PPP connection process has been initiated Connection Halted: A successful PPP connection was halted Cannot Connect: A PPP connection could not be made because of a PPPoE session failure. Authorization Failure: The user name or password is incorrect. Link Control Protocol Failed: Re-establish the session (from the home page). Test Description / Test Results Self Test Performs an integrity check of certain internal components of VersaLink. PING ISP’s VersaLink Performs an IP network check (i.e., an IP Ping) of the Service Provider’s VersaLink. This test verifies that VersaLink can exchange IP traffic with an entity on the other side of the DSL line. Possible responses are: Success: VersaLink has detected an IP Remote VersaLink connection. No Response: The IP Remote VersaLink does not answer the IP Ping. Could not test: The test could not be executed due to VersaLink settings. Check your DSL sync or your PPP session. You must have both a DSL sync and a PPP connection established to execute a PING. DNS Performs a test to try to resolve the name of a particular host. The host name is entered in the input box.
030-300390 Rev. A Draft 3 115 January 2004 VersaLink™ Small Business Router User Guide Possible responses are: Success: VersaLink has successfully obtained the resolved address.

030-300390 Rev. A Draft 3 122 January 2004 VersaLink™ Small Business Router User Guide 15.4 Wireless Statistics The following settings will be displayed if you select Wireless from the Statistics menu. Wireless Card Information Network Name (SSID) This string, (32 characters or less) is the name associated with the Access Point (AP). To connect to the AP, the SSID on a Station card must match the SSID on the AP. 802.11 MAC Address (BSSID) This is the Media Access Controller address of the AP. It is used as the Basic Service Set Identifier. FW Version This is the Network Interface Card Identifier. It uniquely identifies the hardware platform of the AP. This is used with other information to determine if the inserted card can be used as an AP, and if so, the version of AP firmware to be used. Not all makes of wireless station cards can be used as an AP. Communication Statistics NOTE: Data preceded by OUT pertain to transmissions from the VersaLink to a station; VersaLink is the source. Data preceded by IN pertain to data received by VersaLink; VersaLink is the destination. OUT-Unicast Frames The number of successfully transmitted frames whose destination address was a single station; not necessarily the same station, but to any single station as opposed to a transmission that multiple stations would receive-as in the case of broadcast message. OUT-Multicast Frames The number of successfully transmitted frames whose destination address was a multicast address (received by more that one station): not necessarily
030-300390 Rev. A Draft 3 123 January 2004 VersaLink™ Small Business Router User Guide broadcast to all stations, but more than a single station. Broadcast messages are included in the count. OUT-Fragments The number of successful transmissions made. This will typically be greater than the sum of the Unicast and Multicast frames because large frames are broken into multiple transmissions. The number of fragments per frame is based on the Fragmentation Threshold setting (not user-configurable). OUT-Frames after single retry The number of frames that were successfully transmitted after one, and only one, retry. All fragments of the frame must have met this requirement if the frame was fragmented. OUT-Frames after many retries The number of frames that successfully transmitted after more than one retry. Any fragment of a frame that required multiple retries would increment this counter for the whole frame. OUT-Dropped Frames, too many retries The number of frames that did not transmit due to the short or long retry limit being reached because no acknowledgement or CTS was received. OUT-Discarded Frames The number of transmit requests that were discarded to free up buffer space on the NIC. This count is incremented when one of the following occurs: 1) A transmit request is queued too long on the transmit queue due to excessive retries, deferrals, scans, etc. 2) A transmit request is queued too long on the Power-Save queue because the station did not poll or wake up in time. IN-Unicast Frames The number of successfully received frames whose destination address was a single location, not necessarily the same location, but to any single location as opposed to the broadcast address. IN-Multicast Frames The number of successfully received frames whose destination address was a multicast address. Broadcast messages are included in this count. IN-Fragments The number of fragments successfully received. This may not be equal to the sum of the Unicast and Multicast frames because large frames are broken into multiple transmissions. The number of fragments per frame is based on the Fragmentation Threshold setting (not user-configurable) on the source station. IN-Drops due to insufficient Rx buffers The number of received frames discarded due to lack of buffer space. IN-Packet not passing checksum The number of received frames with a Frame Check Sequence (FCS) error.

030-300390 Rev. A Draft 3 136 January 2004 VersaLink™ Small Business Router User Guide D Diagnostics Help This screen provides tools for diagnosing PPP connection problems. Some tests depend on VersaLink’s status and the capabilities exercised by previous tests, which may prevent other types of testing. Beginning of Diagnostics Help screens DSL VersaLink status checks the connection. The following is a list of the possible responses: DSL Up VersaLink is operating correctly and has obtained synchronization with the opposing modem. Down Explanation: VersaLink is operating correctly, but has not synchronized with the opposing DSLAM. Solution: First, check to be sure that the cable connecting VersaLink to the ADSL wall jack is properly connected at both ends. If the cable is properly connected and VersaLink does not synchronize, try another phone cable. Next, wait for VersaLink to train. It can sometimes take as long as two minutes for VersaLink to train. If it still has not come into synchronization, power cycle VersaLink. If you have tried the approach above and VersaLink still does not synchronize, contact your service provider. PPPoE The PPPoE status indicates if a PPPoE session is established (i.e., if the PPPoE Discovery procedure has completed). The following is a list of the possible responses: PPPoE Session up A valid PPPoE session has been detected. no session Currently there is no active PPPoE session. A PPP session must be connected from the homepage screen. initiating session The connection process for a PPPoE session has been initialized. It can sometimes take a few seconds for the PPPoE Discovery procedure to complete. Wait 10-15 seconds and try again. If the PPPoE Discovery still cannot complete, there may be a configuration issue with your service provider's equipment. Verify your VPI/VCI settings (on the LAN Advanced page) and contact your ISP provider. Session halted A successful PPPoE session was halted. A PPP session must be connected from the homepage screen. passed A valid PPPoE session was established. Session failure A PPPoE session could not be made. There may be a configuration issue with your service provider's equipment. Verify your VPI/VCI settings (on the LAN Advanced page) and contact your provider.
030-300390 Rev. A Draft 3 137 January 2004 VersaLink™ Small Business Router User Guide PPP This field displays the PPP Connection status. A PPPoE or PPPoA session must already be established. The following is a list of the possible responses: PPP Connection up VersaLink has established a PPP connection. no connection There is no PPP connection. A PPP session must be connected from the homepage screen. initiating connection The PPP connection process has been initialized. Connection halted A successful PPP connection was halted. Solution: A PPP session must be connected from the homepage screen. Cannot connect Explanation: A PPP connection could not be made because of a PPPoE session failure. Authorization failure The username or password is incorrect. Verify that the username and password your Service Provider issued are entered correctly. Link control protocol failed Try re-establishing the session (from the home page). If this doesn't help, there may be a configuration issue or other failure with your provider's equipment. Contact your service provider. Self Test The Self Test performs an integrity check of certain internal components of VersaLink. The following is a list of the possible responses: Self Test Success VersaLink is operating correctly. Flash Corrupt Explanation: The self-test process has detected a problem with internal flash memory. Solution: Restart VersaLink. If the error persists, contact your service provider. PING ISPs' VersaLink The IP remote VersaLink test performs an IP network check (i.e., an IP Ping) of the Service Provider's VersaLink. This test verifies that VersaLink can exchange IP traffic with an entity on the other side of the DSL line. The following is a list of the possible responses: PING ISP’s VersaLink Success VersaLink has detected an IP remote VersaLink connection. No Response Explanation: This message will occur when an IP remote VersaLink does not answer the IP Ping. Solution: This test fails when the provider's VersaLink does not give its IP address to VersaLink during session establishment. Try Pinging another host, using the Ping test near the bottom of the Diagnostic screen. If you are able to Ping any host, or even if you are able to find an IP address for a given host name (try "www.yahoo.com"), then the failure of the "IP Remote VersaLink" test is moot, because the success of the Ping demonstrates that you are getting IP traffic across the DSL line. If the separate Ping fails as well, contact your service provider. could not test Explanation: Test could not be executed because of VersaLink status.
030-300390 Rev. A Draft 3 138 January 2004 VersaLink™ Small Business Router User Guide DNS The DNS test issues a request to try to resolve the name of a particular host. The host name is entered in the input box. The following is a list of the possible responses: DNS Success VersaLink has successfully obtained the resolved address. The IP address is shown below the host name input box No Response Explanation: VersaLink has failed to successfully obtain the resolved address. Solution: Determine the IP addresses of your DNS servers (from the home page, click "Edit" and then "Advanced"), and then use the Ping test near the bottom of the Diagnostic screen to try to Ping those addresses. This may provide useful information when you contact your service provider and speak with Technical Support. Host not found Explanation: The DNS Server was unable to find an address for the given host name. Solution: That host may no longer be available on the Internet. Try entering a different host name. No data, enter host name Explanation: There must be a host name entered in the input box. could not test Explanation: Test could not be executed because of VersaLink status. PING Select PING to check IP continuity to a remote computer either within or beyond the Service Providers network. Enter either the IP address or the hostname of the remote host computer into the input box to the right of the Test button. If you Ping by name, DNS will be used to look up the appropriate IP address for that name. The following is a list of the possible responses: PING Success The Remote Host Computer was detected. No Response Explanation: This message will occur when there was no response to the Ping from the remote computer. Solution: Bear in mind that many hosts on the Internet are configured for security reasons to not respond to IP Ping messages. If you get a success from the DNS test using the same host name, chances are good that your connection is fine, whether you can Ping the named host or not. No name or address to PING Explanation: There must be a host name or IP address entered in the input box in order for VersaLink to Ping. could not test Explanation: Test could not be executed because of VersaLink status.

It allows you to set the level of security you wish to have on your local network. All security levels except “None” protect against known Internet attacks and devices that attempt to gain remote access to VersaLink. The following settings are displayed. Firewall Settings High This security level only allows basic Internet functionality. Only Mail, News, Web, FTP, and IPSEC are allowed. No other traffic is allowed. Another restriction of high security is that it can’t be modified by NAT configuration options. With High security, you are guaranteed to only pass the previously mentioned traffic. Medium This security level only allows basic Internet functionality by default. Like High security, Medium security, allows customization through NAT configuration, so you can enable the traffic that you want to pass. Low The low security setting will allow all traffic except for known attacks. With low security, VersaLink is visible by other computers on the Internet. Custom Custom is a very advanced configuration option that allows you to edit the firewall configuration directly. Only the most expert users should try this. H Home Page The home page gives you a quick summary of VersaLink’s state. The following settings are displayed. Home Page Connection Overview The Connection Overview section displays the status of the DSL connection.

030-300390 Rev. A Draft 3 146 January 2004 VersaLink™ Small Business Router User Guide Turbo TCP Turbo Turbo TCP is a sophisticated network traffic prioritization and queuing method that dramatically improves the performance of downstream TCP/FTP/HTTP transfers under heavy upstream bandwidth utilization conditions. This feature first assigns a high priority to TCP signaling packets in the upstream direction, then places the packet in one of several transmit queues based on this priority. Packets of unspecified priority, like TCP or UDP data, are assigned a low priority and placed in a low priority queue. The packets in the high priority queues are then transmitted before packets in the lower priority queues minimizing any transmit delays. Minimizing the transmit delay of the TCP messages upstream enables the server to send the TCP data downstream faster, resulting in a substantial throughput gain. U Update Device Update Device (Software Upgrade) Update Device (Software Upgrade) This screen is used to upgrade VersaLink’s application image. The application image is specified by entering in the filename or by using the browse button.

VPI/VCI VPI/VCI VPI/VCI This screen asks for information that VersaLink needs to establish a communication channel to your ISP. The VPI and VCI values are supplied by your ISP. W Wireless Configuration ACRONYMS AP-Access Point BSSID-Basic Service Set ID FW-Firmware MAC-Media Access Controller NIC-Network Interface Card SSID-Service Set ID WEP-Wired Equivalent Privacy WLAN-Wireless Local Area Network Network Name (SSID) This string, (32 characters or less) is the name associated with the AP. To connect to the AP, the SSID on a Station card must match the SSID on the AP card or be set to “ANY.” Channel The AP transmits and receives data on this channel. The number of channels to choose from is pre-programmed into the AP card. Station cards do not have to be set to the same channel as the AP; the Stations scan all channels, and look for an AP to connect to. WEP Security WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) The AP card supports 64-bit, 128-bit, or 256-bit WEP encryption. The WEP option can also be disabled. If so, any station can connect to the AP (as long as its SSID matches the AP SSID). text only WEP Key If selected, the WEP Key is treated as a string of text characters, and the number of characters must be either 5 (for 64-bit encryption) or 13 (for 128-bit encryption) or 29 (for 256-bit encryption). If not selected, the WEP key is treated as a string of hexadecimal characters, and the number of characters must be either 10 (for 64-bit encryption), 26 (for 128-bit encryption), or 58 (for 256-bit encryption). The only allowable hexadecimal characters are 0-9 and A-F. NOTE: The WEP key must be the same value and type for both Versa Link and the wireless network adapter. “Pass Phrase” is not the same as “text” and should not be used. Enhanced Security If selected, the SSID is hidden from detection in certain frames of the radio protocol. This makes the SSID harder to discover by external equipment capable of passively scanning the radio signal. Additionally, the station SSID must match the AP Network Name (SSID); the generic station SSID, “ANY” will be refused.
030-300390 Rev. A Draft 3 148 January 2004 VersaLink™ Small Business Router User Guide Data Rates (Mbits/s) These are the allowable communication rates that the AP will attempt to use. The rates are broadcast within the connection protocol as rates supported by the VersaLink. If multiple rates are chosen, multi-rate communication and automatic optimum rate selection is possible. This is the default, and provides the most flexible system. If the Station signal strength or quality is poor, and the throughput of the connection is slow or intermittent, select only the lower two data rates (1 and 2 MB). This can improve performance by reducing the number of pad packets, re-tries and timeouts that could be occurring when the higher rates are automatically trying to be used. Lower rates can be maintained over longer distances and in a wider range of environments. Wireless Station Configuration The configuration of wireless stations must correspond with VersaLink’s configuration. Typically, WLAN station cards come with a utility for changing the card configuration. Additionally, the WLAN driver might present configuration options as part of the Properties for the installed wireless network adapter. The following configuration items should be considered when setting up a station card. SSID This is a description of the default connection profile, which VersaLink will use. Feel free to use whatever description you desire. Mode The station’s operating mode must be set to, Infrastructure. Most station configuration software will use this term to indicate operation with an AP. Other terms used are ESS or BSS. The terms Ad-Hoc or IBSS indicate operation without an AP; these terms should not be selected. Tx Rate (Data Rate) The station’s transmission rate (data rate) should be set to Automatic. Selecting a specific data r ate is typically only done in difficult environments where conditions limit the maximum possible rate to less than 54 megabits per second. Encryption The station’s encryption settings must match the AP’s settings. This includes the settings for 64-bit, 128-bit, and 256-bit encryption (or none) and the WEP keys. Make certain that the key entries use the same format. The two typical formats provided are simple text entry and hexadecimal entry. Text entry is sometimes termed ASCII entry. Hexadecimal entry is sometimes termed Hex or Manual entry. Do not use the Pass Phrase option if it is present. Authentication Algorithm On the station, this setting is typically located under the Advanced properties for the wireless network adapter. Two or three algorithm settings are usually present. These might be termed: “Must use Shared for WEP,” “Automatic based on WEP setting” and/or “WECA compliant.” Select “Automatic based on WEP setting” or “Must use Shared for WEP.” Wireless Statistics Network Name (SSID) This string, (32 characters or less) is the name associated with the AP. To connect to the AP, the SSID on a Station card must match the SSID on the AP. 802.11b/g/g+ MAC Address (BSSID) This is the Media Access Controller address of the AP. It is used as the Basic Service Set Identifier. Primary FW Primary firmware version number. This is read from the card and helps determine the AP firmware to use. The format of the number is: …>. The version number is also needed to identify existing errata. Secondary FW Secondary firmware version number. This is the station firmware that the

The version number is needed to identify existing errata. OUT and IN Data preceded by OUT pertain to transmissions from VersaLink to a station; VersaLink is the source. Data preceded by IN pertain to data received by VersaLink; VersaLink is the destination. OUT-Unicast Frames The number of successfully transmitted frames whose destination address was a single station, not necessarily the same station, but to any single station: As opposed to a transmission that multiple stations would receive (an example would be a broadcast message). OUT-Multicast Frames The number of successfully transmitted frames whose destination address was a multicast address (received by more that one station): not necessarily broadcast to all stations, but more than a single station. Broadcast messages are included in the count. OUT-Fragments The number of successful transmissions made. This will typically be greater than the sum of the Unicast and Multicast frames because large frames are broken into multiple transmissions. The number of fragments per frame is based on the Fragmentation Threshold setting (not user-configurable). OUT-Unicast Bytes The number of bytes transmitted in Unicast Frames. This includes the header and body of each frame. OUT-Multicast Bytes The number of bytes transmitted in Multicast Frames. This includes the header and body of each frame or frame fragment. OUT-Transmission Deferred The number of frames (frame fragments) for which one or more transmission attempts were deferred to avoid a collision. OUT-Frames after single retry The number of frames that were successfully transmitted after one, and only one, retry. All fragments of the frame must have met this requirement if the frame was fragmented. Wireless Statistics Cont. OUT-Frames after many retries The number of frames that successfully transmitted after more than one retry. Any fragment of a frame that required multiple retries would increment this counter for the whole frame. OUT-Dropped Frames, too many retries The number of frames that did not transmit due to the short or long retry limit being reached. This number is a result of no acknowledgement or CTS received. OUT-Discarded Frames The number of transmit requests that were discarded to free up buffer space. This count is incremented when one of the following occurs: 1) A transmit request is queued too long on the transmit queue due to excessive retries, deferrals, scans, etc. 2) A transmit request is queued too long on the Power-Save queue because the station did not poll or wake up in time. IN-Unicast Frames The number of successfully received frames whose destination address was a single location, not necessarily the same location, but to any single location (as opposed to the broadcast address). IN-Multicast Frames The number of successfully received frames whose destination address was a multicast address. Broadcast messages are included in this count. IN-Fragments The number of fragments successfully received. This might not be equal to the sum of the Unicast and Multicast frames because large frames are broken into multiple transmissions. The number of fragments per frame is based on the Fragmentation Threshold setting (not user-configurable) on the source station. IN-Unicast Bytes The number of bytes received in Unicast Frames. This includes the header and body of each frame or frame fragment. IN-Multicast Bytes The number of bytes received in Multicast Frames. This includes the header and body of each frame of frame fragment. IN-Packet not passing checksum The number of received frames with a Frame Check Sequence (FCS) error.
030-300390 Rev. A Draft 3 150 January 2004 VersaLink™ Small Business Router User Guide IN-Drops due to insufficient Rx buffers The number of received frames discarded due to lack of buffer space. IN-Un-decryptable packets The number of received frames (with the WEP sub-field set to one) that were discarded because the frame should not have been encrypted or the source station did not have privacy enabled. IN-Messages received in message fragments The number of frames received successfully while another good reception was going on above the carrier detect threshold (the message-in-message path #1 in the modem). IN-Messages received in bad message fragments The number of frames received successfully while another reception was going on above the carrier detect threshold, but with a bad or incomplete PLCP Preamble and Header (the message-in-message path #2 in the modem).
