![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s GuideChapter 7 WAN Setup 71CHAPTER 7WAN SetupThis chapter describes how to configure WAN settings.7.1 WAN Overview A WAN (Wide Area Network) is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. Your ZyXEL Device uses the IEEE 802.16e WiMAX standard to connect wirelessly to a WiMAX base station (see Section 1.1 on page 29).7.2 WiMAX WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is the IEEE 802.16 wireless networking standard, which provides high-bandwidth, wide-range wireless service across wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). ZyXEL is a member of the WiMAX Forum, the industry group dedicated to promoting and certifying interoperability of wireless broadband products.In a wireless MAN, a wireless-equipped computer is known either as a mobile station (MS) or a subscriber station (SS). Mobile stations use the IEEE 802.16e standard and are able to maintain connectivity while switching their connection from one base station to another base station (handover) while subscriber stations use other standards that do not have this capability (IEEE 802.16-2004, for example). The following figure shows an MS-equipped notebook computer MS1 moving from base station BS1’s coverage area and connecting to BS2.Figure 37 WiMax: Mobile StationWiMAX technology uses radio signals (around 2 to 10 GHz) to connect subscriber stations and mobile stations to local base stations. Numerous subscriber stations and mobile stations connect to the network through a single base station (BS), as in the following figure.](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-1.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s Guide72 Chapter 7 WAN SetupFigure 38 WiMAX: Multiple Mobile StationsA base station's coverage area can extend over many hundreds of meters, even under poor conditions. A base station provides network access to subscriber stations and mobile stations, and communicates with other base stations.7.2.1 AuthenticationWhen authenticating a user, the base station uses a third-party RADIUS or Diameter server known as an AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) server to authenticate the mobile or subscriber stations. The following figure shows a base station using an AAA server to authenticate mobile station MS, allowing it to access the Internet.Figure 39 Using an AAA ServerIn this figure, the dashed arrow shows the PKM (Privacy Key Management) secured connection between the mobile station and the base station, and the solid arrow shows the EAP secured connection between the mobile station, the base station and the AAA server.

See the WiMAX security appendix for more details.](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-3.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s Guide74 Chapter 7 WAN Setup7.4 Frequency SettingsIn a WiMAX network, a mobile or subscriber station must use a radio frequency supported by the base station to communicate. When the ZyXEL Device looks for a connection to a base station, it can search a range of frequencies. TTLS Inner EAP This field displays the type of secondary authentication method. Once a secure EAP-TTLS connection is established, the inner EAP is the protocol used to exchange security information between the mobile station, the base station and the AAA server to authenticate the mobile station. At the time of writing, the ZyXEL Device supports only CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol). See the WiMAX security appendix for more details.WAN IP Address AssignmentGet automatically from ISP (Default)Select this if you have a dynamic IP address.

![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s GuideChapter 7 WAN Setup 75Radio frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz). 7.4.1 Frequency RangesThe following figure shows the ZyXEL Device searching a range of frequencies to find a connection to a base station. Figure 41 Frequency RangesIn this figure, A is the WiMAX frequency range. “WiMAX frequency range” refers to the entire range of frequencies the ZyXEL Device is capable of using to transmit and receive (see the Product Specifications appendix for details). In the figure, B shows the operator frequency range. This is the range of frequencies within the WiMAX frequency range supported by your operator (service provider).The operator range is subdivided into bandwidth steps. In the figure, each C is a bandwidth step.The arrow D shows the ZyXEL Device searching for a connection.Have the ZyXEL Device search only certain frequencies by configuring the downlink frequencies. Your operator can give you information on the supported frequencies. The downlink frequencies are points of the frequency range your ZyXEL Device searches for an available connection. Use the Site Survey screen to set these bands. You can set the downlink frequencies anywhere within the WiMAX frequency range. In this example, the downlink frequencies have been set to search all of the operator range for a connection.7.4.2 Configuring Frequency SettingsYou need to set the ZyXEL Device to scan one or more specific radio frequencies to find an available connection to a WiMAX base station.

![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s GuideChapter 8 LAN 83CHAPTER 8LANUse these screens to set up the ZyXEL Device on the LAN. You can configure its IP address and subnet mask, DHCP services, and other subnets. You can also control how the ZyXEL Device sends routing information using RIP, and you can enable and disable Any IP.8.1 LAN OverviewA Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached. A LAN is usually a computer network limited to the immediate area, such as the same building or floor of a building.8.1.1 IP Address and Subnet MaskSimilar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, computers on a LAN share one common network number.Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this is the case, it is recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 and you must enable the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the ZyXEL Device. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise. Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the first three numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual computer on that network.Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for instance, 192.168.1.1, for your ZyXEL Device, but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address.The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your ZyXEL Device will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don't need to change the subnet mask computed by the ZyXEL Device unless you are instructed to do otherwise.](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-13.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s Guide84 Chapter 8 LAN8.1.2 DHCP SetupDHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the ZyXEL Device as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the ZyXEL Device provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else each computer must be manually configured.The ZyXEL Device is pre-configured with a pool of IP addresses for the DHCP clients (DHCP Pool). See the product specifications in the appendices. Do not assign static IP addresses from the DHCP pool to your LAN computers.These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS server address(es), see Section 8.2.2 on page 88.8.1.3 LAN TCP/IPThe ZyXEL Device has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that support DHCP client capability.The LAN parameters of the ZyXEL Device are preset in the factory with the following values:• IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)• DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33. These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS server address(es), see Section 8.2.2 on page 88.8.1.4 DNS Server AddressDNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it. The DNS server addresses that you enter in the DHCP setup are passed to the client machines along with the assigned IP address and subnet mask.There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses. The first is for an ISP to tell a customer the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when s/he signs up. If your ISP gives you the DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup, otherwise, leave them blank.Some ISPs choose to pass the DNS servers using the DNS server extensions of PPP IPCP (IP Control Protocol) after the connection is up. If your ISP did not give you explicit DNS servers, chances are the DNS servers are conveyed through IPCP negotiation. The ZyXEL Device supports the IPCP DNS server extensions through the DNS proxy feature.](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-14.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s GuideChapter 8 LAN 85If the Primary and Secondary DNS Server fields in the LAN Setup screen are not specified, for instance, left as 0.0.0.0, the ZyXEL Device tells the DHCP clients that it itself is the DNS server. When a computer sends a DNS query to the ZyXEL Device, the ZyXEL Device forwards the query to the real DNS server learned through IPCP and relays the response back to the computer.Please note that DNS proxy works only when the ISP uses the IPCP DNS server extensions. It does not mean you can leave the DNS servers out of the DHCP setup under all circumstances. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS servers, make sure that you enter their IP addresses in the LAN Setup screen. This way, the ZyXEL Device can pass the DNS servers to the computers and the computers can query the DNS server directly without the ZyXEL Device’s intervention.8.1.5 RIP SetupRIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. When set to:•Both - the ZyXEL Device will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP information that it receives.•In Only - the ZyXEL Device will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP packets received.•Out Only - the ZyXEL Device will send out RIP packets but will not accept any RIP packets received.•None - the ZyXEL Device will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the ZyXEL Device sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally supported; but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network topology.Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting.8.1.6 MulticastTraditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1.IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236) is an improvement over version 1 (RFC 1112) but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use. If you would like to read more detailed information about interoperability between IGMP version 2 and version 1, please see sections 4 and 5 of RFC 2236. The class D IP address is used to identify host groups and can be in the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The address](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-15.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s Guide86 Chapter 8 LAN224.0.0.0 is not assigned to any group and is used by IP multicast computers. The address 224.0.0.1 is used for query messages and is assigned to the permanent group of all IP hosts (including gateways). All hosts must join the 224.0.0.1 group in order to participate in IGMP. The address 224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers group.The ZyXEL Device supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2 (IGMP-v2). At start up, the ZyXEL Device queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the ZyXEL Device periodically updates this information. IP multicasting can be enabled/disabled on the ZyXEL Device LAN and/or WAN interfaces in the web configurator (LAN; WAN ). Select None to disable IP multicasting on these interfaces.8.1.7 Any IPTraditionally, you must set the IP addresses and the subnet masks of a computer and the ZyXEL Device to be in the same subnet to allow the computer to access the Internet (through the ZyXEL Device). In cases where your computer is required to use a static IP address in another network, you may need to manually configure the network settings of the computer every time you want to access the Internet via the ZyXEL Device.With the Any IP feature and NAT enabled, the ZyXEL Device allows a computer to access the Internet without changing the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the computer, when the IP addresses of the computer and the ZyXEL Device are not in the same subnet. Whether a computer is set to use a dynamic or static (fixed) IP address, you can simply connect the computer to the ZyXEL Device and access the Internet.The following figure depicts a scenario where a computer is set to use a static private IP address in the corporate environment. In a residential house where a ZyXEL Device is installed, you can still use the computer to access the Internet without changing the network settings, even when the IP addresses of the computer and the ZyXEL Device are not in the same subnet.](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-16.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s GuideChapter 8 LAN 87Figure 46 Any IP ExampleThe Any IP feature does not apply to a computer using either a dynamic IP address or a static IP address that is in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device’s IP address.Note: You must enable NAT to use the Any IP feature on the ZyXEL Device. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP address) to a physical machine address, also known as a Media Access Control or MAC address, on the local area network. IP routing table is defined on IP Ethernet devices (the ZyXEL Device) to decide which hop to use, to help forward data along to its specified destination.The following lists out the steps taken, when a computer tries to access the Internet for the first time through the ZyXEL Device.1When a computer (which is in a different subnet) first attempts to access the Internet, it sends packets to its default gateway (which is not the ZyXEL Device) by looking at the MAC address in its ARP table. 2When the computer cannot locate the default gateway, an ARP request is broadcast on the LAN. 3The ZyXEL Device receives the ARP request and replies to the computer with its own MAC address. 4The computer updates the MAC address for the default gateway to the ARP table. Once the ARP table is updated, the computer is able to access the Internet through the ZyXEL Device. 5When the ZyXEL Device receives packets from the computer, it creates an entry in the IP routing table so it can properly forward packets intended for the computer. After all the routing information is updated, the computer can access the ZyXEL Device and the Internet as if it is in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device.](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-17.png)

You can also enable and disable SIP, FTP, and H.323 ALG.9.1 NAT Overview9.1.1 Port Forwarding: Services and Port NumbersA NAT server set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can make accessible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single machine to the outside world.Use the NAT Port Forwarding Screen to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port numbers. In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A service request that does not have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the default is not defined, the service request is simply discarded.See Appendix F on page 249 for some examples of services.For example, let's say you want to assign ports 21-25 to one FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (A in the example), port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign a default server IP address of 192.168.1.35 to a third (C in the example). You assign the LAN IP addresses and the ISP assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet.](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-27.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s Guide98 Chapter 9 NATFigure 53 Multiple Servers Behind NAT Example9.1.2 Trigger Port ForwardingSome services use a dedicated range of ports on the client side and a dedicated range of ports on the server side. With regular port forwarding you set a forwarding port in NAT to forward a service (coming in from the server on the WAN) to the IP address of a computer on the client side (LAN). The problem is that port forwarding only forwards a service to a single LAN IP address. In order to use the same service on a different LAN computer, you have to manually replace the LAN computer's IP address in the forwarding port with another LAN computer's IP address, Trigger port forwarding solves this problem by allowing computers on the LAN to dynamically take turns using the service. The ZyXEL Device records the IP address of a LAN computer that sends traffic to the WAN to request a service with a specific port number and protocol (a "trigger" port). When the ZyXEL Device's WAN port receives a response with a specific port number and protocol ("incoming" port), the ZyXEL Device forwards the traffic to the LAN IP address of the computer that sent the request. After that computer’s connection for that service closes, another computer on the LAN can use the service in the same manner. This way you do not need to configure a new IP address each time you want a different LAN computer to use the application.9.1.2.1 Trigger Port Forwarding ExampleThe following is an example of trigger port forwarding. In this example, J is Jane’s computer and S is the Real Audio server.Figure 54 Trigger Port Forwarding Process: Example](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-28.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s GuideChapter 9 NAT 991Jane requests a file from the Real Audio server (port 7070).2Port 7070 is a “trigger” port and causes the ZyXEL Device to record Jane’s computer IP address. The ZyXEL Device associates Jane's computer IP address with the "incoming" port range of 6970-7170.3The Real Audio server responds using a port number ranging between 6970-7170.4The ZyXEL Device forwards the traffic to Jane’s computer IP address. 5Only Jane can connect to the Real Audio server until the connection is closed or times out. The ZyXEL Device times out in three minutes with UDP (User Datagram Protocol), or two hours with TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). 9.1.2.2 Two Points To Remember About Trigger Ports1Trigger events only happen on data that is coming from inside the ZyXEL Device and going to the outside.2If an application needs a continuous data stream, that port (range) will be tied up so that another computer on the LAN can’t trigger it. 9.1.3 SIP ALGSome applications, such as SIP, cannot operate through NAT (are NAT un-friendly) because they embed IP addresses and port numbers in their packets’ data payload. Some NAT routers may include a SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG). An Application Layer Gateway (ALG) manages a specific protocol (such as SIP, H.323 or FTP) at the application layer. A SIP ALG allows SIP calls to pass through NAT by examining and translating IP addresses embedded in the data stream. When the ZyXEL Device registers with the SIP register server, the SIP ALG translates the ZyXEL Device’s private IP address inside the SIP data stream to a public IP address. You do not need to use STUN or an outbound proxy (see Chapter 10 on page 105) if your ZyXEL Device is behind a SIP ALG.9.2 NAT Screens9.2.1 NAT General ScreenUse this screen to enable and disable NAT and to allocate memory for NAT and firewall rules.

![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s GuideChapter 10 SIP 105CHAPTER 10SIPUse these screens to set up your SIP accounts and to configure QoS settings.10.1 SIP Overview10.1.1 Introduction to VoIPVoIP (Voice over IP) is the sending of voice signals over the Internet Protocol. This allows you to make phone calls and send faxes over the Internet at a fraction of the cost of using the traditional circuit-switched telephone network. You can also use servers to run telephone service applications like PBX services and voice mail. Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP) companies provide VoIP service. A company could alternatively set up an IP-PBX and provide it’s own VoIP service.Circuit-switched telephone networks require 64 kilobits per second (kbps) in each direction to handle a telephone call. VoIP can use advanced voice coding techniques with compression to reduce the required bandwidth. 10.1.2 Introduction to SIPThe Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol that handles the setting up, altering and tearing down of voice and multimedia sessions over the Internet.SIP signaling is separate from the media for which it handles sessions. The media that is exchanged during the session can use a different path from that of the signaling. SIP handles telephone calls and can interface with traditional circuit-switched telephone networks.10.1.3 SIP IdentitiesA SIP account uses an identity (sometimes referred to as a SIP address). A complete SIP identity is called a SIP URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). A SIP account's URI identifies the SIP account in a way similar to the way an e-mail address identifies an e-mail account. The format of a SIP identity is SIP-Number@SIP-Service-Domain.10.1.3.1 SIP NumberThe SIP number is the part of the SIP URI that comes before the “@” symbol. A SIP number can use letters like in an e-mail address (johndoe@your-ITSP.com for example) or numbers like a telephone number (1122334455@VoIP-provider.com for example).](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-35.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s Guide106 Chapter 10 SIP10.1.3.2 SIP Service DomainThe SIP service domain of the VoIP service provider (the company that lets you make phone calls over the Internet) is the domain name in a SIP URI. For example, if the SIP address is 1122334455@VoIP-provider.com, then “VoIP-provider.com” is the SIP service domain.10.1.4 SIP Call ProgressionThe following figure displays the basic steps in the setup and tear down of a SIP call. A calls B. 1A sends a SIP INVITE request to B. This message is an invitation for B to participate in a SIP telephone call. 2B sends a response indicating that the telephone is ringing.3B sends an OK response after the call is answered. 4A then sends an ACK message to acknowledge that B has answered the call. 5Now A and B exchange voice media (talk). 6After talking, A hangs up and sends a BYE request. 7B replies with an OK response confirming receipt of the BYE request and the call is terminated.10.1.5 SIP Client ServerSIP is a client-server protocol. A SIP client is an application program or device that sends SIP requests. A SIP server responds to the SIP requests. When you use SIP to make a VoIP call, it originates at a client and terminates at a server. A SIP client could be a computer or a SIP phone. One device can act as both a SIP client and a SIP server.

This means that SIP can be used for peer-to-peer communications even though it is a client-server protocol. In the following figure, either A or B can act as a SIP user agent client to initiate a call. A and B can also both act as a SIP user agent to receive the call.Figure 60 SIP User Agent10.1.5.2 SIP Proxy ServerA SIP proxy server receives requests from clients and forwards them to another server.In the following example, you want to use client device A to call someone who is using client device C. 1The client device (A in the figure) sends a call invitation to the SIP proxy server (B).2The SIP proxy server forwards the call invitation to C.Figure 61 SIP Proxy Server](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-37.png)

Then the client device that originally sent the request can send requests to the IP address that it received back from the redirect server. Redirect servers do not initiate SIP requests. In the following example, you want to use client device A to call someone who is using client device C. 1Client device A sends a call invitation for C to the SIP redirect server (B).2The SIP redirect server sends the invitation back to A with C’s IP address (or domain name).3Client device A then sends the call invitation to client device C.Figure 62 SIP Redirect Server10.1.5.4 SIP Register ServerA SIP register server maintains a database of SIP identity-to-IP address (or domain name) mapping.

![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s GuideChapter 10 SIP 10910.1.7 NAT and SIPThe ZyXEL Device must register its public IP address with a SIP register server. If there is a NAT router between the ZyXEL Device and the SIP register server, the ZyXEL Device probably has a private IP address. The ZyXEL Device lists its IP address in the SIP message that it sends to the SIP register server. NAT does not translate this IP address in the SIP message. The SIP register server gets the ZyXEL Device’s IP address from inside the SIP message and maps it to your SIP identity. If the ZyXEL Device has a private IP address listed in the SIP message, the SIP server cannot map it to your SIP identity. See Chapter 9 on page 97 for more information about NAT.Use a SIP ALG (Application Layer Gateway), Use NAT, STUN, or outbound proxy to allow the ZyXEL Device to list its public IP address in the SIP messages.10.1.7.1 SIP ALGSee Section 9.1.3 on page 99.10.1.7.2 Use NATIf you know the NAT router’s public IP address and SIP port number, you can use the Use NAT feature to manually configure the ZyXEL Device to use a them in the SIP messages. This eliminates the need for STUN or a SIP ALG.You must also configure the NAT router to forward traffic with this port number to the ZyXEL Device. 10.1.7.3 STUNSTUN (Simple Traversal of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) through Network Address Translators) allows the ZyXEL Device to find the presence and types of NAT routers and/or firewalls between it and the public Internet. STUN also allows the ZyXEL Device to find the public IP address that NAT assigned, so the ZyXEL Device can embed it in the SIP data stream. STUN does not work with symmetric NAT routers or firewalls. See RFC 3489 for details on STUN.The following figure shows how STUN works. 1The ZyXEL Device (A) sends SIP packets to the STUN server (B).2The STUN server (B) finds the public IP address and port number that the NAT router used on the ZyXEL Device’s SIP packets and sends them to the ZyXEL Device.3The ZyXEL Device uses the public IP address and port number in the SIP packets that it sends to the SIP server (C).](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-39.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s Guide110 Chapter 10 SIPFigure 63 STUN10.1.7.4 Outbound ProxyYour VoIP service provider may host a SIP outbound proxy server to handle all of the ZyXEL Device’s VoIP traffic. This allows the ZyXEL Device to work with any type of NAT router and eliminates the need for STUN or a SIP ALG. Turn off a SIP ALG on a NAT router in front of the ZyXEL Device to keep it from retranslating the IP address (since this is already handled by the outbound proxy server).10.1.8 Voice CodingA codec (coder/decoder) codes analog voice signals into digital signals and decodes the digital signals back into voice signals. The ZyXEL Device supports the following codecs.•G. 7 11 is a Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) waveform codec. PCM measures analog signal amplitudes at regular time intervals (sampling) and converts them into digital bits (quantization). Quantization “reads” the analog signal and then “writes” it to the nearest digital value. For this reason, a digital sample is usually slightly different from its analog original (this difference is known as “quantization noise”). G.711 provides excellent sound quality but requires 64kbps of bandwidth.•G. 7 2 3 is an Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) waveform codec. Differential (or Delta) PCM is similar to PCM, but encodes the audio signal based on the difference between one sample and a prediction based on previous samples, rather than encoding the sample’s actual quantized value. Many thousands of samples are taken each second, and the differences between consecutive samples are usually quite small, so this saves space and reduces the bandwidth necessary. However, DPCM produces a high quality signal (high signal-to-noise ratio or SNR) for high difference signals (where the actual signal is very different from what was predicted) but a poor quality signal (low SNR) for low difference signals (where the actual signal is very similar to what was predicted). This is because the level of quantization noise is the same at all signal levels. Adaptive DPCM solves this problem by adapting the difference signal’s level of quantization according to the audio signal’s strength. A low difference signal is given a higher quantization level, increasing its signal-to-noise ratio. This provides a similar sound quality at all signal levels.G.723 provides high quality sound and requires 20 or 40 kbps.](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-40.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s GuideChapter 10 SIP 111•G. 7 2 9 is an Analysis-by-Synthesis (AbS) hybrid waveform codec. It uses a filter based on information about how the human vocal tract produces sounds. The codec analyzes the incoming voice signal and attempts to synthesize it using its list of voice elements. It tests the synthesized signal against the original and, if it is acceptable, transmits details of the voice elements it used to make the synthesis. Because the codec at the receiving end has the same list, it can exactly recreate the synthesized audio signal.G.729 provides good sound quality and reduces the required bandwidth to 8kbps.10.1.9 PSTN Call Setup SignalingPSTNs (Public Switched Telephone Networks) use DTMF or pulse dialing to set up telephone calls.Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signaling uses pairs of frequencies (one lower frequency and one higher frequency) to set up calls. It is also known as Touch Tone®. Each of the keys on a DTMF telephone corresponds to a different pair of frequencies.Pulse dialing sends a series of clicks to the local phone office in order to dial numbers.110.1.10 MWI (Message Waiting Indication)Enable Message Waiting Indication (MWI) enables your phone to give you a message–waiting (beeping) dial tone when you have one or more voice messages. Your VoIP service provider must have a messaging system that sends message-waiting-status SIP packets as defined in RFC 3842.10.1.11 Custom Tones (IVR)IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is a feature that allows you to use your telephone to interact with the ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device allows you to record custom tones for the Caller Ringing Tone and On Hold Tone functions. The same recordings apply to both the caller ringing and on hold tones. 1. The ZyXEL Device supports DTMF at the time of writing.Table 32 Custom Tones DetailsLABEL DESCRIPTIONTotal Time for All Tones 128 seconds for all custom tones combinedMaximum Time per Individual Tone 20 secondsTotal Number of Tones Recordable8You can record up to eight different custom tones but the total time must be 128 seconds or less.](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-41.png)

![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s GuideChapter 10 SIP 11310.1.12.2 DiffServDiffServ is a class of service (CoS) model that marks packets so that they receive specific per-hop treatment at DiffServ-compliant network devices along the route based on the application types and traffic flow. Packets are marked with DiffServ Code Points (DSCPs) indicating the level of service desired. This allows the intermediary DiffServ-compliant network devices to handle the packets differently depending on the code points without the need to negotiate paths or remember state information for every flow. In addition, applications do not have to request a particular service or give advanced notice of where the traffic is going.110.1.12.3 DSCP and Per-Hop Behavior DiffServ defines a new DS (Differentiated Services) field to replace the Type of Service (TOS) field in the IP header. The DS field contains a 2-bit unused field and a 6-bit DSCP field which can define up to 64 service levels. The following figure illustrates the DS field. Figure 64 DiffServ: Differentiated Service FieldDSCP is backward compatible with the three precedence bits in the ToS octet so that non-DiffServ compliant, ToS-enabled network device will not conflict with the DSCP mapping. The DSCP value determines the forwarding behavior, the PHB (Per-Hop Behavior), that each packet gets across the DiffServ network. Based on the marking rule, different kinds of traffic can be marked for different priorities of forwarding. Resources can then be allocated according to the DSCP values and the configured policies.10.1.12.4 VLANVirtual Local Area Network (VLAN) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical networks. Only stations within the same group can communicate with each other. Your ZyXEL Device can add IEEE 802.1Q VLAN ID tags to voice frames that it sends to the network. This allows the ZyXEL Device to communicate with a SIP server that is a member of the same VLAN group. Some ISPs use the VLAN tag to identify voice traffic and give it priority over other traffic.1. The ZyXEL Device does not support DiffServ at the time of writing.DSCP(6-bit)Unused(2-bit)](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-43.png)

![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s GuideChapter 12 Firewall 131CHAPTER 12FirewallUse these screens to enable, configure and disable the firewall that protects your ZyXEL Device and your LAN from unwanted or malicious traffic.12.1 Firewall OverviewOriginally, the term firewall referred to a construction technique designed to prevent the spread of fire from one room to another. The networking term "firewall" is a system or group of systems that enforces an access-control policy between two networks. It may also be defined as a mechanism used to protect a trusted network from an untrusted network. Of course, firewalls cannot solve every security problem. A firewall is one of the mechanisms used to establish a network security perimeter in support of a network security policy. It should never be the only mechanism or method employed. For a firewall to guard effectively, you must design and deploy it appropriately. This requires integrating the firewall into a broad information-security policy. In addition, specific policies must be implemented within the firewall itself.12.1.1 Stateful Inspection Firewall. Stateful inspection firewalls restrict access by screening data packets against defined access rules. They make access control decisions based on IP address and protocol. They also "inspect" the session data to assure the integrity of the connection and to adapt to dynamic protocols. These firewalls generally provide the best speed and transparency; however, they may lack the granular application level access control or caching that some proxies support. Firewalls, of one type or another, have become an integral part of standard security solutions for enterprises.12.1.2 About the ZyXEL Device FirewallThe ZyXEL Device firewall is a stateful inspection firewall and is designed to protect against Denial of Service attacks when activated. The ZyXEL Device's purpose is to allow a private Local Area Network (LAN) to be securely connected to the Internet. The ZyXEL Device can be used to prevent theft, destruction and modification of data, as well as log events, which may be important to the security of your network. The ZyXEL Device is installed between the LAN and a WiMAX base station connecting to the Internet. This allows it to act as a secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and the LAN.](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-61.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s Guide132 Chapter 12 FirewallThe ZyXEL Device has one Ethernet (LAN) port. The LAN (Local Area Network) port attaches to a network of computers, which needs security from the outside world. These computers will have access to Internet services such as e-mail, FTP and the World Wide Web. However, “inbound access” is not allowed (by default) unless the remote host is authorized to use a specific service.12.1.3 Guidelines For Enhancing Security With Your Firewall1Change the default password via web configurator.2Think about access control before you connect to the network in any way.3Limit who can access your router.4Don't enable any local service (such as telnet or FTP) that you don't use. Any enabled service could present a potential security risk. A determined hacker might be able to find creative ways to misuse the enabled services to access the firewall or the network.5For local services that are enabled, protect against misuse. Protect by configuring the services to communicate only with specific peers, and protect by configuring rules to block packets for the services at specific interfaces.6Protect against IP spoofing by making sure the firewall is active.7Keep the firewall in a secured (locked) room.12.1.4 The Firewall, NAT and Remote ManagementFigure 72 Firewall Rule Directions12.1.4.1 LAN-to-WAN rules LAN-to-WAN rules are local network to Internet firewall rules. The default is to forward all traffic from your local network to the Internet. You can block certain LAN-to-WAN traffic in the Services screen (click the Services tab). All services displayed in the Blocked Services list box are LAN-to-WAN firewall rules that block those services originating from the LAN.](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-62.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s GuideChapter 12 Firewall 133Blocked LAN-to-WAN packets are considered alerts. Alerts are “higher priority logs” that include system errors, attacks and attempted access to blocked web sites. Alerts appear in red in the View Log screen. You may choose to have alerts e-mailed immediately in the Log Settings screen.LAN-to-LAN/ZyXEL Device means the LAN to the ZyXEL Device LAN interface. This is always allowed, as this is how you manage the ZyXEL Device from your local computer.12.1.4.2 WAN-to-LAN rulesWAN-to-LAN rules are Internet to your local network firewall rules. The default is to block all traffic from the Internet to your local network. How can you forward certain WAN to LAN traffic? You may allow traffic originating from the WAN to be forwarded to the LAN by:• Configuring NAT port forwarding rules.• Configuring One-to-One and Many-One-to-One NAT mapping rules in the SMT NAT menus. • Configuring WAN or LAN & WAN access for services in the Remote Management screens or SMT menus. When you allow remote management from the WAN, you are actually configuring WAN-to-WAN/ZyXEL Device firewall rules. WAN-to-WAN/ZyXEL Device firewall rules are Internet to the ZyXEL Device WAN interface firewall rules. The default is to block all such traffic. When you decide what WAN-to-LAN packets to log, you are in fact deciding what WAN-to-LAN and WAN-to-WAN/ZyXEL Device packets to log. Forwarded WAN-to-LAN packets are not considered alerts.12.2 Triangle RouteWhen the firewall is on, your ZyXEL Device acts as a secure gateway between your LAN and the Internet. In an ideal network topology, all incoming and outgoing network traffic passes through the ZyXEL Device to protect your LAN against attacks.Figure 73 Ideal Firewall Setup](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-63.png)
![ZyXEL MAX-200M1 Series User’s Guide134 Chapter 12 Firewall12.2.1 The “Triangle Route” ProblemA traffic route is a path for sending or receiving data packets between two Ethernet devices. You may have more than one connection to the Internet (through one or more ISPs). If an alternate gateway is on the LAN (and its IP address is in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device’s LAN IP address), the “triangle route” (also called asymmetrical route) problem may occur. The steps below describe the “triangle route” problem. 1A computer on the LAN initiates a connection by sending out a SYN packet to a receiving server on the WAN.2The ZyXEL Device reroutes the SYN packet through Gateway A on the LAN to the WA N. 3The reply from the WAN goes directly to the computer on the LAN without going through the ZyXEL Device. As a result, the ZyXEL Device resets the connection, as the connection has not been acknowledged.Figure 74 “Triangle Route” Problem12.2.2 Solving the “Triangle Route” ProblemIf you have the ZyXEL Device allow triangle route sessions, traffic from the WAN can go directly to a LAN computer without passing through the ZyXEL Device and its firewall protection. Another solution is to use IP alias. IP alias allows you to partition your network into logical sections over the same Ethernet interface. Your ZyXEL Device supports up to three logical LAN interfaces with the ZyXEL Device being the gateway for each logical network. It’s like having multiple LAN networks that actually use the same physical cables and ports. By putting your LAN and Gateway A in different subnets, all returning network traffic must pass through the ZyXEL Device to your LAN. The following steps describe such a scenario.1A computer on the LAN initiates a connection by sending a SYN packet to a receiving server on the WAN. 2The ZyXEL Device reroutes the packet to Gateway A, which is in Subnet 2.](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/MAX200M1.User-manual2/User-Guide-903013-Page-64.png)
