DMZ
A DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) host is a computer on your network that can be accessed
from the Internet. The de-militarised zone (DMZ) is for forwarding IP packets from the
remote parties that are not fixed to any of the applications configured in the virtual
server. These packets are forwarded to a designated DMZ host device. A DMZ is
often used to host Web servers, FTP servers etc that need to be accessible from the

Assigning static Internet information to your PCs
If you are a typical user, you will not need to assign static Internet information to your
LAN PCs because your ISP automatically assigns this information for you.
In some cases however, you may want to assign Internet information to some or all of
your PCs directly (often called “statically”), rather than allowing the device to assign it.
This option may be desirable (but not required) if:
You have obtained one or more public IP addresses that you want to always
associate with specific computers (for example, if you are using a computer as
a public web server).
You maintain different subnets on your LAN (subnets are described in
Appendix B).
Before you begin, you must have the following information available:
The IP address and subnet mask of each PC
The IP address of the default gateway for your LAN. In most cases, this is the
address assigned to the LAN port on the device. By default, the LAN port is
assigned the IP address 192.168.1.1. (You can change this number or another
number can be assigned by your ISP.)
The IP address of your ISP’s Domain Name System (DNS) server.
On each PC to which you want to assign static information, follow the instructions
relating only to checking for and/or installing the IP protocol. Once it is installed,
continue to follow the instructions for displaying each of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
properties. Instead of enabling dynamic assignment of the IP addresses for the
computer, DNS server and default gateway, click the radio buttons that enable you to
enter the information manually.
Note
Your PCs must have IP addresses that place them in the same
subnet as the device’s LAN port.

Configuring Wireless PCs
You need to configure the operating system installed on your Wireless PCs using the
same procedure described for Configuring Ethernet PCs section.
Positioning the wireless PCs
The wireless network cards used determine the maximum distance between your
wireless PCs and your device. Guidelines on positioning the hardware components of
your wireless network should be provided by your network card provider.
Wireless PC cards and drivers
Each PC on your wireless LAN must be fitted with a wireless access card. You must
also install the corresponding driver files for your particular wireless card on your PC.
You should receive driver files and instructions on how to install them together with
your wireless card.
Configuring PC access to your Wireless device
Before you start configuring your Wireless PC, you must ensure that you have:
A Wireless access card for each of the PCs
Corresponding wireless access card driver software files
The configuration steps below will vary depending on both the operating system and
wireless card installed on the PC. These steps provide a basic outline, however you
should refer to the documentation provided with your wireless access card for specific
instructions.
To configure Wireless PCs:
Install the wireless access card.
Install the wireless driver software files.
Configure the following wireless parameters on each of the wireless PCs:
• Set the adapter to use infrastructure mode. This configures the PCs to access each
other and the Internet via the device.
Configure the SSID and channel to match the SSID and channel previously
configured on the device.
Your wireless network can now communicate with the Internet via the device.

Diagnosing Problem using IP Utilities
Ping
Ping is a command you can use to check whether your PC can recognize other
computers on your network and the Internet. A ping command sends a message to
the computer you specify. If the computer receives the message, it sends messages
in reply. To use it, you must know the IP address of the computer with which you are
trying to communicate.
On Windows-based computers, you can execute a ping command from the Start
menu. Click the Start button, and then click Run. In the Open text box, type a
statement such as the following:
ping 192.168.1.1
Click OK. You can substitute any private IP address on your LAN or a public IP
address for an Internet site, if known.
If the target computer receives the message, a Command Prompt window is
displayed:
If the target computer cannot be located, you will receive the message Request timed
out.
Using the ping command, you can test whether the path to the device is working
(using the preconfigured default LAN IP address 192.168.1.1) or another address you
assigned.
X5671 User’s Guide
62
You can also test whether access to the Internet is working by typing an external
address, such as that for www.yahoo.com (216.115.108.243). If you do not know the
IP address of a particular Internet location, you can use the nslookup command, as
explained in the following section.
From most other IP-enabled operating systems, you can execute the same command
at a command prompt or through a system administration utility.
Nslookup
You can use the nslookup command to determine the IP address associated with an
Internet site name. You specify the common name, and the nslookup command looks
up the name in on your DNS server (usually located with your ISP). If that name is not
an entry in your ISP’s DNS table, the request is then referred to another higher-level
server, and so on, until the entry is found. The server then returns the associated IP
address.
On Windows-based computers, you can execute the nslookup command from the
Start menu. Click the Start button, and then click Run. In the Open text box, type the
following:
Nslookup
Click OK. A Command Prompt window displays with a bracket prompt (>). At the
prompt, type the name of the Internet address that you are interested in, such as
www.microsoft.com.
The window will display the associate IP address, if known, as shown below:
There may be several addresses associated with an Internet name. This is common
for web sites that receive heavy traffic; they use multiple, redundant servers to carry
the same information.
To exit from the nslookup utility, type exit and press [Enter] at the command prompt.

Term Description
802.11
A family of specifications for wireless
LANs developed by a working group of the IEEE. This
wireless Ethernet protocol, often called Wi-Fi.
10BASE-T A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet
networks with a data rate of 10 Mbps. Also known as
Category 3 (CAT 3) wiring. See data rate, Ethernet.
100BASE-T A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet
networks with a data rate of 100 Mbps. Also known as
Category 5 (CAT 5) wiring. See data rate, Ethernet.
ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
The most commonly deployed “flavor” of DSL for home
users is asymmetrical DSL. The term asymmetrical
refers to its unequal data rates for downloading and
uploading (the download rate is higher than the upload
rate). The asymmetrical rates benefit home users
because they typically download much more data from
the Internet than they upload.
Analog An analog signal is a signal that has had its frequency
modified in some way, such as by amplifying its strength
or varying its frequency, in order to add information to
the signal. The voice component in DSL is an analog
signal. See digital.
ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode
A standard for high-speed transmission of data, text,
voice, and video, widely used within the Internet. ATM
data rates range from 45 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps. See data
rate.
Authenticate To verify a user’s identity, such as by prompting for a
password.
Binary The “base two” system of numbers that uses only two
digits, 0 and 1, to represent all numbers. In binary, the
number 1 is written as 1, 2 as 10, 3 as 11, 4 as 100, etc.
Although expressed as decimal numbers for
convenience, IP addresses in actual use are binary
numbers; e.g., the IP address 209.191.4.240 is
11010001.10111111.00000100.11110000 in binary.
See bit, IP address, network mask.
Bit Short for “binary digit,” a bit is a number that can have
two values, 0 or 1. See binary.
Bps bits per second
Bridging Passing data from your network to your ISP and vice
versa using the hardware addresses of the devices at
each location. Bridging contrasts with routing which can
add more intelligence to data transfers by using network
addresses instead. The device can perform both routing
and bridging. Typically, when both functions are
enabled, the device routes IP data and bridges all other
X5671 User’s Guide
64
types of data. See routing.
Broadband A telecommunications technology that can send
different types of data over the same medium. DSL is a
broadband technology.
Broadcast To send data to all computers on a network.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP automates address assignment and
management. When a computer connects to the LAN,
DHCP assigns it an IP address from a shared pool of IP
addresses; after a specified time limit, DHCP returns the
address to the pool.
DHCP relay Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol relay
A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data
between computers that request IP addresses and the
DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each of the
device’s interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay.
See DHCP.
DHCP server Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server
A DHCP server is a computer that is responsible for
assigning IP addresses to the computers on a LAN. See
DHCP.
Digital Of data, having a form based on discrete values
expressed as binary numbers (0’s and 1’s). The data
component in DSL is a digital signal. See analog.
DNS Domain Name System
The DNS maps domain names into IP addresses. DNS
information is distributed hierarchically throughout the
Internet among computers called DNS servers. For
example, www.yahoo.com is the domain name
associated with IP address 216.115.108.243. When you
start to access a web site, a DNS server looks up the
requested domain name to find its corresponding IP
address. If the DNS server cannot find the IP address, it
communicates with higher-level DNS servers to
determine the IP address. See domain name.
Domain name A domain name is a user-friendly name used in place of
its associated IP address. Domain names must be
unique; their assignment is controlled by the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN). Domain names are a key element of URLs,
which identify a specific file at a web site. See DNS.
Download To transfer data in the downstream direction, i.e., from
the Internet to the user.
DSL Digital Subscriber Line
A technology that allows both digital data and analog
voice signals to travel over existing copper telephone
lines.
Encryption keys See network keys
Ethernet The most commonly installed computer network
technology, usually using twisted pair wiring. Ethernet
data rates are 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. See also
10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, twisted pair.
X5671 User’s Guide

FTP File Transfer Protocol
A program used to transfer files between computers
connected to the Internet. Common uses include
uploading new or updated files to a web server, and
downloading files from a web server.
Gbps Abbreviation of Gigabits per second, or one billion bits
per second. Internet data rates are often expressed in
Gbps.
Host A device (usually a computer) connected to a network.
HTTP Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol
HTTP is the main protocol used to transfer data from
web sites so that it can be displayed by web browsers.
See web browser, web site.
Hub A hub is a place of convergence where data arrives from
one or more directions and is forwarded out in one or
more directions. It connects an Ethernet bridge/router to
a group of PCs on a LAN and allows communication to
pass between the networked devices.
ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol
An Internet protocol used to report errors and other
network-related information. The ping command makes
use of ICMP.
IEEE The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is a
technical professional society that fosters the
development of standards that often become national
and international standards.
Internet The global collection of interconnected networks used
for both private and business communications.
Intranet A private, company-internal network that looks like part
of the Internet (users access information using web
browsers), but is accessible only by employees.
IP See TCP/IP.
IP address Internet Protocol address
The address of a host (computer) on the Internet,
consisting of four numbers, each from 0 to 255,
separated by periods, e.g., 209.191.4.240. An IP
address consists of a network ID that identifies the
particular network the host belongs to, and a host ID
uniquely identifying the host itself on that network. A
network mask is used to define the network ID and the
host ID. Because IP addresses are difficult to
remember, they usually have an associated domain
name that can be specified instead. See domain name,
network mask.
ISP Internet Service Provider
A company that provides Internet access to its
customers, usually for a fee.
LAN Local Area Network.
A network limited to a small geographic area, such as a
home or small office.

LED Light Emitting Diode
An electronic light-emitting device. The indicator lights
on the front of the device are LEDs.
MAC address Media Access Control address
The permanent hardware address of a device, assigned
by its manufacturer. MAC addresses are expressed as
six pairs of hex characters, with each pair separated by
colons. For example; NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN.
Mask See network mask.
Mbps Abbreviation for Megabits per second, or one million bits
per second. Network data rates are often expressed in
Mbps.
NAT Network Address Translation
A service performed by many routers that translates
your network’s publicly known IP address into a private
IP address for each computer on your LAN. Only your
router and your LAN know these addresses; the outside
world sees only the public IP address when talking to a
computer on your LAN.
Network A group of computers that are connected together,
allowing them to communicate with each other and
share resources, such as software, files, etc. A network
can be small, such as a LAN, or very large, such as the
Internet.
Network keys (Also known as encryption keys.) 64-bit and 128-bit
encryption keys used in WEP wireless security
schemes. The keys encrypt data over the WLAN, and
only wireless PCs configured with WEP keys that
correspond to the keys configured on the device can
send/receive encrypted data.
Network mask A network mask is a sequence of bits applied to an IP
address to select the network ID while ignoring the host
ID. Bits set to 1 mean “select this bit” while bits set to 0
mean “ignore this bit.” For example, if the network mask
255.255.255.0 is applied to the IP address 100.10.50.1,
the network ID is 100.10.50, and the host ID is 1. See
binary, IP address, subnet.
NIC Network Interface Card
An adapter card that plugs into your computer and
provides the physical interface to your network cabling.
For Ethernet NICs this is typically an RJ-45 connector.
See Ethernet, RJ-45.
Packet Data transmitted on a network consists of units called
packets. Each packet contains a payload (the data),
plus overhead information such as where it came from
(source address) and where it should go (destination
address).
Ping Packet Internet (or Inter-Network) Groper
A program used to verify whether the host associated
with an IP address is online. It can also be used to
reveal the IP address for a given domain name.
Port A physical access point to a device such as a computer
or router, through which data flows into and out of the
device.
PPP Point-to-Point Protocol
A protocol for serial data transmission that is used to
carry IP (and other protocol) data between your ISP and
your computer. The WAN interface on the device uses
two forms of PPP called PPPoA and PPPoE. See
PPPoA, PPPoE.
X5671 User’s Guide
67
PPPoA Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM
One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can define
for a Virtual Circuit (VC), the other type being PPPoE.
You can define only one PPPoA interface per VC.
PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can define
for a Virtual Circuit (VC), the other type being PPPoA.
You can define one or more PPPoE interfaces per VC.
Protocol A set of rules governing the transmission of data. In
order for a data transmission to work, both ends of the
connection have to follow the rules of the protocol.
Remote In a physically separate location. For example, an
employee away on travel who logs in to the company’s
intranet is a remote user.
RIP Routing Information Protocol
The original TCP/IP routing protocol. There are two
versions of RIP: version I and version II.
RJ-11 Registered Jack Standard-11
The standard plug used to connect telephones, fax
machines, modems, etc. to a telephone port. It is a 6-pin
connector usually containing four wires.
RJ-45 Registered Jack Standard-45
The 8-pin plug used in transmitting data over phone
lines. Ethernet cabling usually uses this type of
connector.
Routing Forwarding data between your network and the Internet
on the most efficient route, based on the data’s
destination IP address and current network conditions.
A device that performs routing is called a router.
SDNS Secondary Domain Name System (server)
A DNS server that can be used if the primary DSN
server is not available. See DNS.
Subnet A subnet is a portion of a network. The subnet is
distinguished from the larger network by a subnet mask
that selects some of the computers of the network and
excludes all others. The subnet’s computers remain
physically connected to the rest of the parent network,
but they are treated as though they were on a separate
network. See network mask.
Subnet mask A mask that defines a subnet. See network mask.
TCP See TCP/IP.
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
The basic protocols used on the Internet. TCP is
responsible for dividing data up into packets for delivery
and reassembling them at the destination, while IP is
responsible for delivering the packets from source to
destination. When TCP and IP are bundled with
higher-level applications such as HTTP, FTP, Telnet,
etc., TCP/IP refers to this whole suite of protocols.
Telnet An interactive, character-based program used to access
a remote computer. While HTTP (the web protocol) and
FTP only allow you to download files from a remote
computer, Telnet allows you to log into and use a
computer from a remote location.
X5671 User’s Guide
68
TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol
A protocol for file transfers, TFTP is easier to use than
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) but not as capable or
secure.
TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) provides WPA
with a data encryption function. It ensures that a unique
master key is generated for each packet, supports
message integrity and sequencing rules and supports
re-keying mechanisms.
Triggers Triggers are used to deal with application protocols that
create separate sessions. Some applications, such as
NetMeeting, open secondary connections during normal
operations, for example, a connection to a server is
established using one port, but data transfers are
performed on a separate connection. A trigger tells the
device to expect these secondary sessions and how to
handle them.
Once you set a trigger, the embedded IP address of
each incoming packet is replaced by the correct host
address so that NAT can translate packets to the correct
destination. You can specify whether you want to carry
out address replacement, and if so, whether to replace
addresses on TCP packets only, UDP packets only, or
both.
Twisted pair The ordinary copper telephone wiring used by telephone
companies. It contains one or more wire pairs twisted
together to reduce inductance and noise. Each
telephone line uses one pair. In homes, it is most often
installed with two pairs. For Ethernet LANs, a higher
grade called Category 3 (CAT 3) is used for 10BASE-T
networks, and an even higher grade called Category 5
(CAT 5) is used for 100BASE-T networks. See
10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, Ethernet.
Unnumbered interfaces
An unnumbered interface is an IP interface that does not
have a local subnet associated with it. Instead, it uses a
router-id that serves as the source and destination
address of packets sent to and from the router. Unlike
the IP address of a normal interface, the router-id of an
unnumbered interface is allowed to be the same as the
IP address of another interface. For example, the WAN
unnumbered interface of your device uses the same IP
address of the LAN interface (192.168.1.1).
The unnumbered interface is temporary – PPP or DHCP
will assign a ‘real’ IP address automatically.
Upstream The direction of data transmission from the user to the
Internet.
VC Virtual Circuit
A connection from your DSL router to your ISP.
VCI Virtual Circuit Identifier
Together with the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI), the VCI
uniquely identifies a VC. Your ISP will tell you the VCI
for each VC they provide. See VC.
VDSL Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line
It provides faster transmission rate and is capable of
supporting high bandwidth applications like IPTV and
bandwidth consumed applications.
VPI Virtual Path Identifier
Together with the Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI), the VPI
uniquely identifies a VC. Your ISP will tell you the VPI
for each VC they provide. See VC.
X5671 User’s Guide
69
WAN Wide Area Network
Any network spread over a large geographical area,
such as a country or continent. With respect to the
device, WAN refers to the Internet.
Web browser A software program that uses Hyper-Text Transfer
Protocol (HTTP) to download information from (and
upload to) web sites, and displays the information, which
may consist of text, graphic images, audio, or video, to
the user. Web browsers use Hyper-Text Transfer
Protocol (HTTP). Popular web browsers include
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
See HTTP, web site, WWW.
Web page A web site file typically containing text, graphics and
hyperlinks (cross-references) to the other pages on that
web site, as well as to pages on other web sites. When a
user accesses a web site, the first page that is displayed
is called the home page. See hyperlink, web site.
Web site A computer on the Internet that distributes information to
(and gets information from) remote users through web
browsers. A web site typically consists of web pages
that contain text, graphics, and hyperlinks. See
hyperlink, web page.
WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encrypts data over
WLANs. Data is encrypted into blocks of either 64 bits
length or 128 bits length. The encrypted data can only
be sent and received by users with access to a private
network key. Each PC on your wireless network must be
manually configured with the same key as your device in
order to allow wireless encrypted data transmissions.
Eavesdroppers cannot access your network if they do
not know your private key. WEP is considered to be a
low security option.
Wireless Wireless is a term used to describe telecommunications
in which electromagnetic waves (rather than some form
of wire) carry the signal over part or the entire
communication path. See wireless LAN.
Wireless LAN A wireless LAN (WLAN) is one in which a mobile user
can connect to a local area network (LAN) through a
wireless (radio) connection. A standard, IEEE 802.11,
specifies the technologies for wireless LANs.
WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access
WPA is an initiative by the IEEE and Wi-Fi Alliance to
address the security limitations of WEP. WPA provides
a stronger data encryption method (called Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol (TKIP)). It runs in a special,
easy-to-set-up home mode called Pre-Shared Key
(PSK) that allows you to manually enter a pass phrase
on all the devices in your wireless network. WPA data
encryption is based on a WPA master key. The master
key is derived from the pass phrase and the network
name (SSID) of the device.
It provides improved data encryption and stronger user
authentication. The mode of WPA supported on your
device is called Pre-Shared Key (PSK), which allows
you to manually enter a type of key called a pass
phrase.
WWW World Wide Web
Also called (the) Web. Collective term for all web sites
anywhere in the world that can be accessed via the
Internet.
