Some 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 XMG 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 XMG's WAN port
receives a response with a specific port number and protocol ("open" port), the XMG 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.
For example:
Figure 80 Trigger Port Forwarding Process: Example
1Jane requests a file from the Real Audio server (port 7070).
2Port 7070 is a “trigger” port and causes the XMG to record Jane’s computer IP address. The XMG
associates Jane's computer IP address with the "open" port range of 6970-7170.
3The Real Audio server responds using a port number ranging between 6970-7170.
4The XMG 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 XMG
times out in three minutes with UDP (User Datagram Protocol) or two hours with TCP/IP (Transfer Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol).

11.6 The ALG Screen
Some NAT routers may include a SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG). A SIP ALG allows SIP calls to pass
through NAT by examining and translating IP addresses embedded in the data stream. When the XMG
registers with the SIP register server, the SIP ALG translates the XMG’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 if your XMG is
behind a SIP ALG.

11.9 Technical Reference
This part contains more information regarding NAT.
11.9.1 NAT Definitions
Inside/outside denotes where a host is located relative to the XMG, for example, the computers of your
subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web servers on the Internet are the outside hosts.
Global/local denotes the IP address of a host in a packet as the packet traverses a router, for example,
the local address refers to the IP address of a host when the packet is in the local network, while the
global address refers to the IP address of the host when the same packet is traveling in the WAN side.
Note that inside/outside refers to the location of a host, while global/local refers to the IP address of a
host used in a packet. Thus, an inside local address (ILA) is the IP address of an inside host in a packet
when the packet is still in the local network, while an inside global address (IGA) is the IP address of the
same inside host when the packet is on the WAN side. The following table summarizes this information.
NAT never changes the IP address (either local or global) of an outside host.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
MAX NAT
Session Per Host
Use this field to set a limit to the number of concurrent NAT sessions each client host can have.
If only a few clients use peer to peer applications, you can raise this number to improve their
performance. With heavy peer-to-peer application use, lower this number to ensure no single
client uses too many of the available NAT sessions.

Chapter 11 Network Address Translation (NAT)

11.9.2 What NAT Does
In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a subscriber (the
inside local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding the packet to the WAN
side. When the response comes back, NAT translates the destination address (the inside global address)
back to the inside local address before forwarding it to the original inside host. Note that the IP address
(either local or global) of an outside host is never changed.
The global IP addresses for the inside hosts can be either static or dynamically assigned by the ISP. In
addition, you can designate servers, for example, a web server and a telnet server, on your local
network and make them accessible to the outside world. If you do not define any servers (for Many-to-
One and Many-to-Many Overload mapping), NAT offers the additional benefit of firewall protection.
With no servers defined, your XMG filters out all incoming inquiries, thus preventing intruders from probing
your network. For more information on IP address translation, refer to RFC 1631, The IP Network Address
Translator (NAT).
11.9.3 How NAT Works
Each packet has two addresses – a source address and a destination address. For outgoing packets,
the ILA (Inside Local Address) is the source address on the LAN, and the IGA (Inside Global Address) is
the source address on the WAN. For incoming packets, the ILA is the destination address on the LAN,
and the IGA is the destination address on the WAN. NAT maps private (local) IP addresses to globally
unique ones required for communication with hosts on other networks. It replaces the original IP source
address (and TCP or UDP source port numbers for Many-to-One and Many-to-Many Overload NAT
mapping) in each packet and then forwards it to the Internet. The XMG keeps track of the original
addresses and port numbers so incoming reply packets can have their original values restored. The
following figure illustrates this.
Figure 88 How NAT Works
11.9.4 NAT Application
The following figure illustrates a possible NAT application, where three inside LANs (logical LANs using IP
alias) behind the XMG can communicate with three distinct WAN networks.

CHAPTER 12
DNS
12.1 Overview
DNS
DNS (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.
In addition to the system DNS server(s), each WAN interface (service) is set to have its own static or
dynamic DNS server list. You can configure a DNS static route to forward DNS queries for certain domain
names through a specific WAN interface to its DNS server(s). The XMG uses a system DNS server (in the
order you specify in the Broadband screen) to resolve domain names that do not match any DNS
routing entry. After the XMG receives a DNS reply from a DNS server, it creates a new entry for the
resolved IP address in the routing table.
Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with one or many dynamic DNS
services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe, etc.). You can also access your
FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a domain name (for instance myhost.dhs.org, where
myhost is a name of your choice) that will never change instead of using an IP address that changes
each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives will always be able to call you even if they don't know
your IP address.
First of all, you need to have registered a dynamic DNS account with www.dyndns.org. This is for people
with a dynamic IP from their ISP or DHCP server that would still like to have a domain name. The Dynamic
DNS service provider will give you a password or key.
12.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the DNS Entry screen to view, configure, or remove DNS routes (Section 12.2 on page 168).
• Use the Dynamic DNS screen to enable DDNS and configure the DDNS settings on the XMG (Section
12.3 on page 169).
12.1.2 What You Need To Know
DYNDNS Wildcard
Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP
address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use, for example,
www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.

VLAN Group
14.1 Overview
Virtual LAN IDs are used to identify different traffic types over the same physical link.
In the following example, the XMG (DSL) can use VLAN IDs (VID) 100 and 200 to identify Video-on-
Demand and IPTV traffic respectively coming from the two VoD and IPTV multicast servers. The XMG
(DSL) can also tag outgoing requests to these servers with these VLAN IDs.

CHAPTER 15
Interface Grouping
15.1 Overview
By default, all LAN and WAN interfaces on the XMG are in the same group and can communicate with
each other. Create interface groups to have the XMG assign the IP addresses in different domains to
different groups. Each group acts as an independent network on the XMG. This lets devices connected
to an interface group’s LAN interfaces communicate through the interface group’s WAN or LAN
interfaces but not other WAN or LAN interfaces.
15.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
The Interface Grouping screens let you create multiple networks on the XMG (Section 15.2 on page 175).
15.2 The Interface Grouping Screen
You can manually add a LAN interface to a new group. Alternatively, you can have the XMG
automatically add the incoming traffic and the LAN interface on which traffic is received to an
interface group when its DHCP Vendor ID option information matches one listed for the interface group.
Use the LAN screen to configure the private IP addresses the DHCP server on the XMG assigns to the
clients in the default and/or user-defined groups. If you set the XMG to assign IP addresses based on the
client’s DHCP Vendor ID option information, you must enable DHCP server and configure LAN TCP/IP
settings for both the default and user-defined groups. See Chapter 8 on page 111 for more information.
In the following example, the client that sends packets with the DHCP Vendor ID option set to MSFT 5.0
(meaning it is a Windows 2000 DHCP client) is assigned the IP address 192.168.2.2 and uses the WAN
VDSL_PoE/ppp0.1 interface.

USB Service
16.1 Overview
You can share files on a USB memory stick or hard drive connected to your XMG with users on your
network.
The following figure is an overview of the XMG’s file server feature. Computers A and B can access files
on a USB device (C) which is connected to the XMG.
Figure 102 File Sharing Overview
The XMG will not be able to join the workgroup if your local area network has restrictions set up
that do not allow devices to join a workgroup. In this case, contact your network administrator.
16.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the File Sharing screen to enable file-sharing server (Section 16.1.3 on page 181).

16.1.2.1 About File Sharing
Workgroup name
This is the name given to a set of computers that are connected on a network and share resources such
as a printer or files. Windows automatically assigns the workgroup name when you set up a network.
Shares
When settings are set to default, each USB device connected to the XMG is given a folder, called a
“share”. If a USB hard drive connected to the XMG has more than one partition, then each partition will
be allocated a share. You can also configure a “share” to be a sub-folder or file on the USB device.
File Systems
A file system is a way of storing and organizing files on your hard drive and storage device. Often
different operating systems such as Windows or Linux have different file systems. The file sharing feature
on your XMG supports File Allocation Table (FAT) and FAT32.
Common Internet File System
The XMG uses Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for its file sharing functions. CIFS compatible
computers can access the USB file storage devices connected to the XMG. CIFS protocol is supported
on Microsoft Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer to your systems specifications for
CIFS compatibility).
16.1.3 Before You Begin
Make sure the XMG is connected to your network and turned on.
1Connect the USB device to one of the XMG’s USB port. Make sure the XMG is connected to your
network.
2The XMG detects the USB device and makes its contents available for browsing. If you are connecting a
USB hard drive that comes with an external power supply, make sure it is connected to an appropriate
power source that is on.
Note: If your USB device cannot be detected by the XMG, see the troubleshooting for
suggestions.
16.2 The File Sharing Screen
Use this screen to set up file sharing through the XMG. The XMG’s LAN users can access the shared folder

clients (like Windows Media Player). The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a group of personal
computer and electronics companies that works to make products compatible in a home network.
The XMG media server enables you to:
• Publish all shares for everyone to play media files in the USB storage device connected to the XMG.
• Use hardware-based media clients like the DMA-2500 to play the files.
Note: Anyone on your network can play the media files in the published shares. No user name
and password or other form of security is used. The media server is enabled by default

CHAPTER 17
Firewall
17.1 Overview
This chapter shows you how to enable and configure the XMG’s security settings. Use the firewall to
protect your XMG and network from attacks by hackers on the Internet and control access to it. By
default the firewall:
• allows traffic that originates from your LAN computers to go to all other networks.
• blocks traffic that originates on other networks from going to the LAN.
The following figure illustrates the default firewall action. User A can initiate an IM (Instant Messaging)
session from the LAN to the WAN (1). Return traffic for this session is also allowed (2). However other traffic
initiated from the WAN is blocked (3 and 4).
Figure 105 Default Firewall Action
17.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the General screen to configure the security level of the firewall on the XMG (Section 17.2 on
page 185).
• Use the Protocol screen to add or remove predefined Internet services and configure firewall rules
(Section 17.3 on page 186).
• Use the Access Control screen to view and configure incoming/outgoing filtering rules (Section 17.4

17.1.2 What You Need to Know
SYN Attack
A SYN attack floods a targeted system with a series of SYN packets. Each packet causes the targeted
system to issue a SYN-ACK response. While the targeted system waits for the ACK that follows the SYN-
ACK, it queues up all outstanding SYN-ACK responses on a backlog queue. SYN-ACKs are moved off the
queue only when an ACK comes back or when an internal timer terminates the three-way handshake.
Once the queue is full, the system will ignore all incoming SYN requests, making the system unavailable
for legitimate users.
DoS
Denials of Service (DoS) attacks are aimed at devices and networks with a connection to the Internet.
Their goal is not to steal information, but to disable a device or network so users no longer have access
to network resources. The XMG is pre-configured to automatically detect and thwart all known DoS
attacks.
DDoS
A DDoS attack is one in which multiple compromised systems attack a single target, thereby causing
denial of service for users of the targeted system.
LAND Attack
In a LAND attack, hackers flood SYN packets into the network with a spoofed source IP address of the
target system. This makes it appear as if the host computer sent the packets to itself, making the system
unavailable while the target system tries to respond to itself.
Ping of Death
Ping of Death uses a "ping" utility to create and send an IP packet that exceeds the maximum 65,536
bytes of data allowed by the IP specification. This may cause systems to crash, hang or reboot.
SPI
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) tracks each connection crossing the firewall and makes sure it is valid.
Filtering decisions are based not only on rules but also context. For example, traffic from the WAN may
only be allowed to cross the firewall in response to a request from the LAN.
17.2 The Firewall Screen

CHAPTER 21
Certificates
21.1 Overview
The XMG can use certificates (also called digital IDs) to authenticate users. Certificates are based on
public-private key pairs. A certificate contains the certificate owner’s identity and public key.
Certificates provide a way to exchange public keys for use in authentication.
21.2 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the Local Certificates screen to generate certification requests and import the XMG's CA-signed
certificates (Section 21.5 on page 204).
• Use the Trusted CA screen to save the certificates of trusted CAs to the XMG (Section 21.5 on page
204).
21.3 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
Certification Authority
A Certification Authority (CA) issues certificates and guarantees the identity of each certificate owner.
There are commercial certification authorities like CyberTrust or VeriSign and government certification
authorities. The certification authority uses its private key to sign certificates. Anyone can then use the
certification authority's public key to verify the certificates. You can use the XMG to generate
certification requests that contain identifying information and public keys and then send the
certification requests to a certification authority.

CHAPTER 22
VoIP
22.1 Overview
Use this chapter to:
• Connect an analog phone to the XMG.
• Make phone calls over the Internet, as well as the regular phone network.
• Configure settings such as speed dial.
• Configure network settings to optimize the voice quality of your phone calls.
22.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
These screens allow you to configure your XMG to make phone calls over the Internet and your regular
phone line, and to set up the phones you connect to the XMG.
• Use the SIP Account screen () to set up information about your SIP account, control which SIP
accounts the phones connected to the XMG use and configure audio settings such as volume levels
for the phones connected to the XMG.
• Use the SIP Service Provider screen () to configure the SIP server information, QoS for VoIP calls, the
numbers for certain phone functions, and dialing plan.
• Use the Phone Device screen () to view detailed information of the XMG’s phone ports.
• Use the Region screen () to change settings that depend on the country you are in.
• Use the Call Rule screen () to set up shortcuts for dialing frequently-used (VoIP) phone numbers.
You don’t necessarily need to use all these screens to set up your account. In fact, if your service
provider did not supply information on a particular field in a screen, it is usually best to leave it at its
default setting.
22.1.2 What You Need to Know About VoIP
VoIP
VoIP stands for Voice over IP. IP is the Internet Protocol, which is the message-carrying standard the
Internet runs on. So, Voice over IP is the sending of voice signals (speech) over the Internet (or another
network that uses the Internet Protocol).
SIP
SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol. SIP is a signalling standard that lets one network device (like a
computer or the XMG) send messages to another. In VoIP, these messages are about phone calls over
Chapter 22 VoIP
XMG3563-B10A User’s Guide
208
the network. For example, when you dial a number on your XMG, it sends a SIP message over the
network asking the other device (the number you dialed) to take part in the call.
SIP Accounts
A SIP account is a type of VoIP account. It is an arrangement with a service provider that lets you make
phone calls over the Internet. When you set the XMG to use your SIP account to make calls, the XMG is
able to send all the information about the phone call to your service provider on the Internet. Strictly
speaking, you don’t need a SIP account. It is possible for one SIP device (like the XMG) to call another
without involving a SIP service provider. However, the networking difficulties involved in doing this make
it tremendously impractical under normal circumstances. Your SIP account provider removes these
difficulties by taking care of the call routing and setup - figuring out how to get your call to the right
place in a way that you and the other person can talk to one another.
22.2 Before You Begin
• Before you can use these screens, you need to have a VoIP account already set up. If you don’t
have one yet, you can sign up with a VoIP service provider over the Internet.
• You should have the information your VoIP service provider gave you ready, before you start to
configure the XMG.
22.3 The SIP Account Screen
The XMG uses a SIP account to make outgoing VoIP calls and check if an incoming call’s destination
number matches your SIP account’s SIP number. In order to make or receive a VoIP call, you need to
enable and configure a SIP account, and map it to a phone port. The SIP account contains information
that allows your VMG to connect to your VoIP service provider.
See Section 21.3.1 on page 219 for how to map a SIP account to a phone port.
Use this screen to view SIP account information. You can also enable and disable each SIP account. To
access this screen, click VoIP > SIP > SIP Account.

codec used by phone companies and digital handsets.
•G.711a is typically used in Europe.
•G.711u is typically used in North America and Japan.
G.726-24 operates at 24 kbps.
G.726-32 operates at 32 kbps.
G.722 is a 7 KHz wideband voice codec that operates at 48, 56 and 64 kbps. By using a
sample rate of 16 kHz, G.722 can provide higher fidelity and better audio quality than
narrowband codecs like G.711, in which the voice signal is sampled at 8 KHz.
The XMG must use the same codec as the peer. When two SIP devices start a SIP session, they
must agree on a codec.
Select the XMG’s first choice for voice coder/decoder.
Select the XMG’s second choice for voice coder/decoder. Select None if you only want the

VoIP service is activated only when one of the selected WAN connections is up.
Outbound Proxy
Outbound Proxy
Address
Enter the IP address or domain name of the SIP outbound proxy server if your VoIP service
provider has a SIP outbound server to handle voice calls. This allows the XMG to work with any
type of NAT router and eliminates the need for STUN or a SIP ALG. Turn off any SIP ALG on a NAT
router in front of the XMG to keep it from re-translating the IP address (since this is already
handled by the outbound proxy server).
Outbound Proxy

SRTP Support
SRTP Support When you make a VoIP call using SIP, the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is used to handle
voice data transfer. The Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) is a security profile of RTP. It is
designed to provide encryption and authentication for the RTP data in both unicast and
multicast applications.
The XMG supports encryption using AES with a 128-bit key. To protect data integrity, SRTP uses a
Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) calculation with Secure Hash Algorithm
(SHA)-1 to authenticate data. HMAC SHA-1 produces a 80 or 32-bit authentication tag that is
appended to the packet.
Both the caller and callee should use the same algorithms to establish an SRTP session.
Crypto Suite Select the encryption and authentication algorithm set used by the XMG to set up an SRTP
media session with the peer device.
Select AES_CM_128_HMAC_SHA1_80 or AES_CM_128_HMAC_SHA1_32 to enable both data
encryption and authentication for voice data.
Select AES_CM_128_NULL to use 128-bit data encryption but disable data authentication.
Select NULL_CIPHER_HMAC_SHA1_80 to disable encryption but require authentication using the
default 80-bit tag.
DTMF Mode
DTMF Mode Control how the XMG handles the tones that your telephone makes when you push its buttons.
You should use the same mode your VoIP service provider uses.
RFC2833 - send the DTMF tones in RTP packets.
PCM - send the DTMF tones in the voice data stream. This method works best when you are using
a codec that does not use compression (like G.711). Codecs that use compression (like G.729
and G.726) can distort the tones.
SIP INFO - send the DTMF tones in SIP messages.
Transport Type
Transport Type Select the transport layer protocol UDP or TCP (usually UDP) used for SIP.
Ignore Direct IP Select Enable to have the connected CPE devices accept SIP requests only from the SIP proxy/
register server specified above. SIP requests sent from other IP addresses will be ignored.
FAX Option This field controls how the XMG handles fax messages.
G711 Fax
Passthrough
Select this if the XMG should use G.711 to send fax messages. You have to also select which
operating codec (G.711Mulaw or G.711Alaw) to use for encoding/decoding FAX data. The
peer devices must use the same settings.
T38 Fax Relay Select this if the XMG should send fax messages as UDP or TCP/IP packets through IP networks.
This provides better quality, but it may have inter-operability problems. The peer devices must
also use T.38.

VoIP
VoIP is the sending of voice signals over 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.
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.
SIP
The 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.
SIP Identities
A 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.
SIP Number
The 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).
SIP Service Domain
The SIP service domain of the VoIP service provider 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.
SIP Registration
Each XMG is an individual SIP User Agent (UA). To provide voice service, it has a public IP address for SIP
and RTP protocols to communicate with other servers.
A SIP user agent has to register with the SIP registrar and must provide information about the users it
represents, as well as its current IP address (for the routing of incoming SIP requests). After successful
registration, the SIP server knows that the users (identified by their dedicated SIP URIs) are represented by
the UA, and knows the IP address to which the SIP requests and responses should be sent.
Registration is initiated by the User Agent Client (UAC) running in the VoIP gateway (the XMG). The
gateway must be configured with information letting it know where to send the REGISTER message, as
well as the relevant user and authorization data.
Chapter 22 VoIP
XMG3563-B10A User’s Guide
224
A SIP registration has a limited lifespan. The User Agent Client must renew its registration within this
lifespan. If it does not do so, the registration data will be deleted from the SIP registrar's database and
the connection broken.
The XMG attempts to register all enabled subscriber ports when it is switched on. When you enable a
subscriber port that was previously disabled, the XMG attempts to register the port immediately.
Authorization Requirements
SIP registrations (and subsequent SIP requests) require a username and password for authorization. These
credentials are validated via a challenge / response system using the HTTP digest mechanism (as
detailed in RFC 3261, "SIP: Session Initiation Protocol").
SIP Servers
SIP 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.
SIP User Agent
A SIP user agent can make and receive VoIP telephone calls. 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 137 SIP User Agent
SIP Proxy Server
A 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.
Chapter 22 VoIP
XMG3563-B10A User’s Guide
225
Figure 138 SIP Proxy Server
SIP Redirect Server
A SIP redirect server accepts SIP requests, translates the destination address to an IP address and sends
the translated IP address back to the device that sent the request. 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.
Chapter 22 VoIP
XMG3563-B10A User’s Guide
226
Figure 139 SIP Redirect Server
SIP Register Server
A SIP register server maintains a database of SIP identity-to-IP address (or domain name) mapping. The
register server checks your user name and password when you register.
RTP
When you make a VoIP call using SIP, the RTP (Real time Transport Protocol) is used to handle voice data
transfer. See RFC 1889 for details on RTP.
Pulse Code Modulation
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) measures analog signal amplitudes at regular time intervals and converts
them into bits.
SIP Call Progression
The 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.
SIP Call Progression Through Proxy Servers
Usually, the SIP UAC sets up a phone call by sending a request to the SIP proxy server. Then, the proxy
server looks up the destination to which the call should be forwarded (according to the URI requested
by the SIP UAC). The request may be forwarded to more than one proxy server before arriving at its
destination.
The response to the request goes to all the proxy servers through which the request passed, in reverse
sequence. Once the session is set up, session traffic is sent between the UAs directly, bypassing all the
proxy servers in between.
The following figure shows the SIP and session traffic flow between the user agents (UA 1 and UA 2) and
the proxy servers (this example shows two proxy servers, PROXY 1 and PROXY 2).

The following table shows the SIP call progression.

participate in a SIP telephone call. Proxy 1 sends a response indicating that it is trying to complete the
request.
2Proxy 1 sends a SIP INVITE request to Proxy 2. Proxy 2 sends a response indicating that it is trying to
complete the request.
3Proxy 2 sends a SIP INVITE request to User Agent 2.
4User Agent 2 sends a response back to Proxy 2 indicating that the phone is ringing. The response is
relayed back to User Agent 1 via Proxy 1.
5User Agent 2 sends an OK response to Proxy 2 after the call is answered. This is also relayed back to User
Agent 1 via Proxy 1.
6User Agent 1 and User Agent 2 exchange RTP packets containing voice data directly, without involving
the proxies.
7When User Agent 2 hangs up, he sends a BYE request.
8User Agent 1 replies with an OK response confirming receipt of the BYE request, and the call is
terminated.
Voice Coding
A codec (coder/decoder) codes analog voice signals into digital signals and decodes the digital
signals back into analog voice signals. The XMG supports the following codecs.
• G.711 is a Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) waveform codec. PCM measures analog signal amplitudes
at regular time intervals and converts them into digital samples. G.711 provides very good sound
quality but requires 64 kbps of bandwidth.

• G.726 is an Adaptive Differential PCM (ADPCM) waveform codec that uses a lower bitrate than
standard PCM conversion. ADPCM converts analog audio into digital signals based on the difference
between each audio sample and a prediction based on previous samples. The more similar the
audio sample is to the prediction, the less space needed to describe it. G.726 operates at 16, 24, 32 or
40 kbps.
• G.729 is an Analysis-by-Synthesis (AbS) hybrid waveform codec that uses a filter based on information
about how the human vocal tract produces sounds. G.729 provides good sound quality and reduces
the required bandwidth to 8 kbps.
Voice Activity Detection/Silence Suppression
Voice Activity Detection (VAD) detects whether or not speech is present. This lets the XMG reduce the
bandwidth that a call uses by not transmitting “silent packets” when you are not speaking.
Comfort Noise Generation
When using VAD, the XMG generates comfort noise when the other party is not speaking. The comfort
noise lets you know that the line is still connected as total silence could easily be mistaken for a lost
connection.
Echo Cancellation
G.168 is an ITU-T standard for eliminating the echo caused by the sound of your voice reverberating in
the telephone receiver while you talk.
MWI (Message Waiting Indication)
Enable Message Waiting Indication (MWI) enables your phone to give you a message–waiting
(beeping) dial tone when you have a voice message(s). Your VoIP service provider must have a
messaging system that sends message waiting status SIP packets as defined in RFC 3842.
Custom Tones (IVR)
IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is a feature that allows you to use your telephone to interact with the
XMG. The XMG allows you to record custom tones for the Early Media and Music On Hold functions. The
same recordings apply to both the caller ringing and on hold tones.

22.10.1 Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and the
networking methods used to provide bandwidth for real-time multimedia applications.
Type of Service (ToS)
Network traffic can be classified by setting the ToS (Type of Service) values at the data source (for
example, at the XMG) so a server can decide the best method of delivery, that is the least cost, fastest
route and so on.
DiffServ
DiffServ 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 (DSCP) indicating the level of service desired.
Chapter 22 VoIP
XMG3563-B10A User’s Guide
231
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.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.
DSCP 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.
Figure 141 DiffServ: Differentiated Service Field
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.
22.10.2 Phone Services Overview

22.10.2.1 The Flash Key
Flashing means to press the hook for a short period of time (a few hundred milliseconds) before releasing
it. On newer telephones, there should be a "flash" key (button) that generates the signal electronically. If
the flash key is not available, you can tap (press and immediately release) the hook by hand to achieve
the same effect. However, using the flash key is preferred since the timing is much more precise. With
manual tapping, if the duration is too long, it may be interpreted as hanging up by the XMG.
You can invoke all the supplementary services by using the flash key.
22.10.2.2 Europe Type Supplementary Phone Services
This section describes how to use supplementary phone services with the Europe Type Call Service
Mode. Commands for supplementary services are listed in the table below.
After pressing the flash key, if you do not issue the sub-command before the default sub-command
timeout (2 seconds) expires or issue an invalid sub-command, the current operation will be aborted.
European Call Hold
Call hold allows you to put a call (A) on hold by pressing the flash key.
If you have another call, press the flash key and then “2” to switch back and forth between caller A and
B by putting either one on hold.
Press the flash key and then “0” to disconnect the call presently on hold and keep the current call on
line.
Press the flash key and then “1” to disconnect the current call and resume the call on hold.
If you hang up the phone but a caller is still on hold, there will be a remind ring.

Log
23.1 Overview
The web configurator allows you to choose which categories of events and/or alerts to have the XMG
log and then display the logs or have the XMG send them to an administrator (as e-mail) or to a syslog
server.
23.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the System Log screen to see the system logs (Section 23.2 on page 237).
• Use the Security Log screen to see the security-related logs for the categories that you select (Section
23.3 on page 237).
23.1.2 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
Alerts and Logs
An alert is a type of log that warrants more serious attention. They include system errors, attacks (access
control) and attempted access to blocked web sites. Some categories such as System Errors consist of
both logs and alerts. You may differentiate them by their color in the View Log screen. Alerts display in
red and logs display in black.
Syslog Overview
The syslog protocol allows devices to send event notification messages across an IP network to syslog
servers that collect the event messages. A syslog-enabled device can generate a syslog message and
send it to a syslog server.
Syslog is defined in RFC 3164. The RFC defines the packet format, content and system log related
information of syslog messages. Each syslog message has a facility and severity level. The syslog facility
identifies a file in the syslog server. Refer to the documentation of your syslog program for details. The
following table describes the syslog severity levels.
Table 112 Syslog Severity Levels
CODE SEVERITY
0 Emergency: The system is unusable.
1 Alert: Action must be taken immediately.
2 Critical: The system condition is critical.
3 Error: There is an error condition on the system.
4 Warning: There is a warning condition on the system.

Status This field displays the current call progress or call process state of the VoIP phone call.
Calling - This state is only associated with the call categorized as Outgoing Call or Internal Call in
the Call Type field. For the Outgoing Call, it means the SIP account has issued a (SIP-based) call
setup signal to the SIP server, tries to make an outgoing VoIP call to the SIP account of remote
peers. As for the Internal Call, it means the call-originating local phone port has issued a
(Internal and Non-SIP) call setup signal to other target local phone ports, and the phones
attached to the target local phone ports will be ringing.
Ringing - The state is only associated with the call categorized as Incoming Call in the Call Type
field. This state indicates that there is an incoming VoIP call setup signaling coming to the SIP
account, and the phone ports configured to receive the incoming call from the SIP account will
be ringing.
InCall - Whichever type is in the Call Type field, this state will indicate that the call setup signaling
procedure has finished, and thus the call has been successfully established. The users of both
peers can begin to converse on the phone.
OnHold - This state is only associated with the call categorized as Outgoing Call or Incoming Call
in the Call Type field. This state indicates that the current call is connecting to the SIP account,
and the remote peer is in the OnHold state. This situation happens under the following two
scenarios: (a) the remote peer put the call on hold, or (b) the local user put the call on hold.
Call Type This field displays the call direction type of the current VoIP call.
Outgoing Call - It’s a SIP VoIP call made by local phone ports, and this SIP account is able to
issue a (SIP-based) call setup to the SIP account of remote peers for a VoIP call establishment.
This (SIP-based) call setup signal is sent to the SIP server first, and then the SIP server would relay it
to the target peer after correctly resolving and locating the target peer. During the call setup
(signaling) phase, Calling state is displayed in the Status field, and it turns to InCall state once
the call is successfully established.
Incoming Call - It’s a SIP VoIP call made or originated by remote SIP accounts to connect to this
local SIP account. One or more local phone ports can be configured to receive this type of call,
see the Incoming Number below, and all of them should begin to ring during the call setup
(signaling phase), see the Status above. Once some remote SIP accounts start to ring one local
phone, answer by off-hook to the call, and the call is successfully established. The other ringing
local phone ports will stop ringing and turning to InCall state in the Status field.
Internal Call - It’s a local VoIP call between two different local phone ports. No SIP signaling is
needed and thus no SIP server is involved to establish this type of call. This type of call is
established via the Internal and Non-SIP local setup signaling procedure between the call-
originating and call-terminating local phone ports. In general, one or more local phone ports
can be designed to receive this type of call, and once any of the ringing phones answer the
call, the other ringing ones will stop ringing. During the call setup phase (signaling phase),
Calling state is displayed in Status field, and turns to InCall state once the call is successfully
established.
Codec This field displays what voice codec is being used for a current VoIP call through a phone port.
Note: Before the call is established, meaning when it’s Calling or Ringing state
in Status, the state of this codec field will be Unknown, since the codec
hasn’t been determined during the call setup (signaling) phase.
From Phone Port
Type
This field displays the phone ports type used to originate, start, or create the current VoIP call.
Two possible type values will be displayed here:
SIP - For the current call which is categorized as Incoming Call in the Call Type filed, this field will
show the type SIP.
FXS - As for the other cases: Outgoing Call and Internal Call, this field will show the
corresponding local phone port type: FXS, the legacy analog phone port on the device.

Type
This field displays the phone ports type used to receive the current VoIP call. Three possible type
values will be displayed here:
SIP - For the current call which is categorized as Outgoing Call in the Call Type field, this field will
show the type SIP.
FXS and Unknown - As for the other cases: Incoming Call and Internal Call, this field will show the
corresponding local phone port type: FXS, the legacy analog phone port on the device. While
the call is established, this field shows Unknown during the call setup phase (signaling phase).
This is because one or more local phone ports can be configured or designed to receive these
two types of calls, see the Call Type above, and the local phone port will answer the call that
hasn’t been determined yet at that time.
Peer Number This field displays the phone Number for the Outgoing Call and Internal Call cases or the SIP
account number for the Incoming Call case of the remote party that’s engaged in the current
VoIP call.
Phone Status (This table displays the name and the SIP account binding relationship of different local phone ports.

CHAPTER 26
ARP Table
26.1 Overview
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.
An IP (version 4) address is 32 bits long. In an Ethernet LAN, MAC addresses are 48 bits long. The ARP
Table maintains an association between each MAC address and its corresponding IP address.
26.1.1 How ARP Works
When an incoming packet destined for a host device on a local area network arrives at the device, the
device's ARP program looks in the ARP Table and, if it finds the address, sends it to the device.
If no entry is found for the IP address, ARP broadcasts the request to all the devices on the LAN. The
device fills in its own MAC and IP address in the sender address fields, and puts the known IP address of
the target in the target IP address field. In addition, the device puts all ones in the target MAC field
(FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF is the Ethernet broadcast address). The replying device (which is either the IP address of
the device being sought or the router that knows the way) replaces the broadcast address with the
target's MAC address, swaps the sender and target pairs, and unicasts the answer directly back to the
requesting machine. ARP updates the ARP Table for future reference and then sends the packet to the
MAC address that replied.

xDSL Port Details
Upstream These are the statistics for the traffic direction going out from the port to the service provider.
Downstream These are the statistics for the traffic direction coming into the port from the service provider.
Line Rate These are the data transfer rates at which the port is sending and receiving data.
Actual Net Data
Rate
These are the rates at which the port is sending and receiving the payload data without
transport layer protocol headers and traffic.
Trellis Coding This displays whether or not the port is using Trellis coding for traffic it is sending and receiving.
Trellis coding helps to reduce the noise in ADSL transmissions. Trellis may reduce throughput but
it makes the connection more stable.
SNR Margin This is the upstream and downstream Signal-to-Noise Ratio margin (in dB). A DMT sub-carrier’s
SNR is the ratio between the received signal power and the received noise power. The signal-
to-noise ratio margin is the maximum that the received noise power could increase with the
system still being able to meet its transmission targets.
Actual Delay This is the upstream and downstream interleave delay. It is the wait (in milliseconds) that
determines the size of a single block of data to be interleaved (assembled) and then
transmitted. Interleave delay is used when transmission error correction (Reed- Solomon) is
necessary due to a less than ideal telephone line. The bigger the delay, the bigger the data
block size, allowing better error correction to be performed.
Transmit Power This is the upstream and downstream far end actual aggregate transmit power (in dBm).
Upstream is how much power the port is using to transmit to the service provider. Downstream is
how much port the service provider is using to transmit to the port.
Receive Power Upstream is how much power the service provider is receiving from the port. Downstream is
how much power the port is receiving from the service provider.
Actual INP Sudden spikes in the line’s level of external noise (impulse noise) can cause errors and result in
lost packets. This could especially impact the quality of multimedia traffic such as voice or
video. Impulse noise protection (INP) provides a buffer to allow for correction of errors caused
by error correction to deal with this. The number of DMT (Discrete Multi-Tone) symbols shows the
level of impulse noise protection for the upstream and downstream traffic. A higher symbol
value provides higher error correction capability, but it causes overhead and higher delay
which may increase error rates in received multimedia data.
Total Attenuation This is the upstream and downstream line attenuation, measured in decibels (dB). This
attenuation is the difference between the power transmitted at the near-end and the power
received at the far-end. Attenuation is affected by the channel characteristics (wire gauge,
quality, condition and length of the physical line).
Attainable Net
Data Rate
These are the highest theoretically possible transfer rates at which the port could send and
receive payload data without transport layer protocol headers and traffic.
xDSL Counters
Downstream These are the statistics for the traffic direction coming into the port from the service provider.
Upstream These are the statistics for the traffic direction going out from the port to the service provider.
FEC This is the number of Far End Corrected blocks.
CRC This is the number of Cyclic Redundancy Checks.
ES This is the number of Errored Seconds meaning the number of seconds containing at least one
errored block or at least one defect.
SES This is the number of Severely Errored Seconds meaning the number of seconds containing 30%
or more errored blocks or at least one defect. This is a subset of ES.

TR-069 defines how Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), for example your XMG, can be managed over
the WAN by an Auto Configuration Server (ACS). TR-069 is based on sending Remote Procedure Calls
(RPCs) between an ACS and a client device. RPCs are sent in Extensible Markup Language (XML)
format over HTTP or HTTPS.
An administrator can use an ACS to remotely set up the XMG, modify settings, perform firmware
upgrades as well as monitor and diagnose the XMG. You have to enable the device to be managed by
the ACS and specify the ACS IP address or domain name and username and password.

CHAPTER 34
SNMP
34.1 Overview
This chapter explains how to configure the SNMP settings on the XMG.
34.2 The SNMP Screen
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information
between network devices. Your XMG supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager
station to manage and monitor the XMG through the network. The XMG supports SNMP version one
(SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation.
Figure 160 SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the XMG). An agent
translates the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with
SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform network management
functions. It executes applications that control and monitor managed devices.
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of
information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of packets
received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed
objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these
objects.
Chapter 34 SNMP
XMG3563-B10A User’s Guide
264
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager
issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:
• Get - Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
• GetNext - Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent.
In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get
operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.
• Set - Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
• Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.

settings.

Start Rule Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you enabled Daylight Saving.
You can select a specific date in a particular month or a specific day of a specific week in a
particular month. The Hour field uses the 24 hour format. Here are a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving Time starts in most parts of the United States on the second Sunday of March.
Each time zone in the United States starts using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in
the United States, set the day to Second, Sunday, the month to March and the time to 2 in the
Hour field.
Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last Sunday of March. All of the time
zones in the European Union start using Daylight Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M.
GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would set the day to Last, Sunday and the month
to March. The time you select depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you
would select 2 in the Hour field because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or
UTC (GMT+1).
End Rule Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time ends if you enabled Daylight Saving.
You can select a specific date in a particular month or a specific day of a specific week in a
particular month. The Time field uses the 24 hour format. Here are a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the first Sunday of November. Each time
zone in the United States stops using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the United
States you would set the day to First, Sunday, the month to November and the time to 2 in the
Time field.
Daylight Saving Time ends in the European Union on the last Sunday of October. All of the
time zones in the European Union stop using Daylight Saving Time at the same moment (1

CHAPTER 40
Diagnostic
40.1 Overview
The Diagnostic screens display information to help you identify problems with the XMG.
The route between a CO VDSL switch and one of its CPE may go through switches owned by
independent organizations. A connectivity fault point generally takes time to discover and impacts
subscriber’s network access. In order to eliminate the management and maintenance efforts, IEEE
802.1ag is a Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) specification which allows network administrators to
identify and manage connection faults. Through discovery and verification of the path, CFM can
detect, analyze and isolate connectivity faults in bridged LANs.
40.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• The Ping & TraceRoute & NsLookup screen lets you ping an IP address or trace the route packets take
to a host (Section 40.3 on page 278).
• The 802.1ag screen lets you perform CFM actions (Section 40.4 on page 278).
• The OAM Ping screen lets you send an ATM OAM (Operation, Administration and Maintenance)
packet to verify the connectivity of a specific PVC. (Section 40.5 on page 279).
40.2 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
How CFM Works
A Maintenance Association (MA) defines a VLAN and associated Maintenance End Point (MEP) ports
on the device under a Maintenance Domain (MD) level. An MEP port has the ability to send
Connectivity Check Messages (CCMs) and get other MEP ports information from neighbor devices’
CCMs within an MA.
CFM provides two tests to discover connectivity faults.
• Loopback test - checks if the MEP port receives its Loop Back Response (LBR) from its target after it
sends the Loop Back Message (LBM). If no response is received, there might be a connectivity fault
between them.
• Link trace test - provides additional connectivity fault analysis to get more information on where the
fault is. If an MEP port does not respond to the source MEP, this may indicate a fault. Administrators
can take further action to check and resume services from the fault according to the line
connectivity status report.

ATM sets up virtual circuits over which end systems communicate. The terminology for virtual circuits is as
follows:
Figure 178 Virtual Circuit Topology
Think of a virtual path as a cable that contains a bundle of wires. The cable connects two points and
wires within the cable provide individual circuits between the two points. In an ATM cell header, a VPI
(Virtual Path Identifier) identifies a link formed by a virtual path; a VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier)
identifies a channel within a virtual path. A series of virtual paths make up a virtual circuit.
F4 cells operate at the virtual path (VP) level, while F5 cells operate at the virtual channel (VC) level. F4
cells use the same VPI as the user data cells on VP connections, but use different predefined VCI values.
F5 cells use the same VPI and VCI as the user data cells on the VC connections, and are distinguished
from data cells by a predefinded Payload Type Identifier (PTI) in the cell header. Both F4 flows and F5
flows are bidirectional and have two types.
• segment F4 flows (VCI=3)
• end-to-end F4 flows (VCI=4)
• segment F5 flows (PTI=100)
• end-to-end F5 flows (PTI=101)
OAM F4 or F5 tests are used to check virtual path or virtual channel availability between two DSL
devices. Segment flows are terminated at the connecting point which terminates a VP or VC segment.
End-to-end flows are terminated at the end point of a VP or VC connection, where an ATM link is
terminated. Segment loopback tests allow you to verify integrity of a PVC to the nearest neighboring
ATM device. End-to-end loopback tests allow you to verify integrity of an end-to-end PVC.
Note: The DSLAM to which the XMG is connected must also support ATM F4 and/or F5 to use
this test.
Note: This screen is available only when you configure an ATM layer-2 interface.

41.4 Wireless Internet Access
What factors may cause intermittent or unstabled wireless connection? How can I solve this
problem?
The following factors may cause interference:
• Obstacles: walls, ceilings, furniture, and so on.
• Building Materials: metal doors, aluminum studs.
• Electrical devices: microwaves, monitors, electric motors, cordless phones, and other wireless devices.
To optimize the speed and quality of your wireless connection, you can:
• Move your wireless device closer to the AP if the signal strength is low.
• Reduce wireless interference that may be caused by other wireless networks or surrounding wireless
electronics such as cordless phones.
• Place the AP where there are minimum obstacles (such as walls and ceilings) between the AP and
the wireless client.
• Reduce the number of wireless clients connecting to the same AP simultaneously, or add additional
APs if necessary.
• Try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications. If the wireless
client is sending or receiving a lot of information, it may have too many programs open that use the
Internet.
What is a Server Set ID (SSID)?
An SSID is a name that uniquely identifies a wireless network. The AP and all the clients within a wireless
network must use the same SSID.

Wireless LANs
Wireless LAN Topologies
This section discusses ad-hoc and infrastructure wireless LAN topologies.
Ad-hoc Wireless LAN Configuration
The simplest WLAN configuration is an independent (Ad-hoc) WLAN that connects a set of computers
with wireless adapters (A, B, C). Any time two or more wireless adapters are within range of each other,
they can set up an independent network, which is commonly referred to as an ad-hoc network or
Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). The following diagram shows an example of notebook computers
using wireless adapters to form an ad-hoc wireless LAN.
Figure 180 Peer-to-Peer Communication in an Ad-hoc Network
BSS
A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless clients or between a wireless
client and a wired network client go through one access point (AP).
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless clients in the BSS. When Intra-BSS is enabled, wireless client A
and B can access the wired network and communicate with each other. When Intra-BSS is disabled,
wireless client A and B can still access the wired network but cannot communicate with each other.
Appendix B Wireless LANs
XMG3563-B10A User’s Guide
296
Figure 181 Basic Service Set
ESS
An Extended Service Set (ESS) consists of a series of overlapping BSSs, each containing an access point,
with each access point connected together by a wired network. This wired connection between APs is
called a Distribution System (DS).
This type of wireless LAN topology is called an Infrastructure WLAN. The Access Points not only provide
communication with the wired network but also mediate wireless network traffic in the immediate
neighborhood.
An ESSID (ESS IDentification) uniquely identifies each ESS. All access points and their associated wireless
clients within the same ESS must have the same ESSID in order to communicate.
Appendix B Wireless LANs
XMG3563-B10A User’s Guide
297
Figure 182 Infrastructure WLAN
Channel
A channel is the radio frequency(ies) used by wireless devices to transmit and receive data. Channels
available depend on your geographical area. You may have a choice of channels (for your region) so
you should use a channel different from an adjacent AP (access point) to reduce interference.
Interference occurs when radio signals from different access points overlap causing interference and
degrading performance.
Adjacent channels partially overlap however. To avoid interference due to overlap, your AP should be
on a channel at least five channels away from a channel that an adjacent AP is using. For example, if
your region has 11 channels and an adjacent AP is using channel 1, then you need to select a channel
between 6 or 11.
RTS/CTS
A hidden node occurs when two stations are within range of the same access point, but are not within
range of each other. The following figure illustrates a hidden node. Both stations (STA) are within range
of the access point (AP) or wireless gateway, but out-of-range of each other, so they cannot "hear"
each other, that is they do not know if the channel is currently being used. Therefore, they are
considered hidden from each other.
DSL DSL
Appendix B Wireless LANs
XMG3563-B10A User’s Guide
298
Figure 183 RTS/CTS
When station A sends data to the AP, it might not know that the station B is already using the channel. If
these two stations send data at the same time, collisions may occur when both sets of data arrive at the
AP at the same time, resulting in a loss of messages for both stations.
RTS/CTS is designed to prevent collisions due to hidden nodes. An RTS/CTS defines the biggest size data
frame you can send before an RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake is invoked.
When a data frame exceeds the RTS/CTS value you set (between 0 to 2432 bytes), the station that wants
to transmit this frame must first send an RTS (Request To Send) message to the AP for permission to send
it. The AP then responds with a CTS (Clear to Send) message to all other stations within its range to notify
them to defer their transmission. It also reserves and confirms with the requesting station the time frame
for the requested transmission.
Stations can send frames smaller than the specified RTS/CTS directly to the AP without the RTS (Request
To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake.
You should only configure RTS/CTS if the possibility of hidden nodes exists on your network and the "cost"
of resending large frames is more than the extra network overhead involved in the RTS (Request To
Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake.
If the RTS/CTS value is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold value (see next), then the RTS (Request
To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented before
they reach RTS/CTS size.
Note: Enabling the RTS Threshold causes redundant network overhead that could negatively
affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy.
Fragmentation Threshold
A Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum data fragment size (between 256 and 2432 bytes) that can
be sent in the wireless network before the AP will fragment the packet into smaller data frames.
A large Fragmentation Threshold is recommended for networks not prone to interference while you
should set a smaller threshold for busy networks or networks that are prone to interference.
If the Fragmentation Threshold value is smaller than the RTS/CTS value (see previously) you set then the
RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be
fragmented before they reach RTS/CTS size.

IEEE 802.11g Wireless LAN
IEEE 802.11g is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard. This means an IEEE 802.11b adapter can
interface directly with an IEEE 802.11g access point (and vice versa) at 11 Mbps or lower depending on
range. IEEE 802.11g has several intermediate rate steps between the maximum and minimum data
rates. The IEEE 802.11g data rate and modulation are as follows:
Wireless Security Overview
Wireless security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between wireless clients,
access points and the wired network.
Wireless security methods available on the XMG are data encryption, wireless client authentication,
restricting access by device MAC address and hiding the XMG identity.
The following figure shows the relative effectiveness of these wireless security methods available on your
XMG.
Note: You must enable the same wireless security settings on the XMG and on all wireless
clients that you want to associate with it.
IEEE 802.1x
In June 2001, the IEEE 802.1x standard was designed to extend the features of IEEE 802.11 to support
extended authentication as well as providing additional accounting and control features. It is
supported by Windows XP and a number of network devices. Some advantages of IEEE 802.1x are:
• User based identification that allows for roaming.
• Support for RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC 2138, 2139) for centralized user
profile and accounting management on a network RADIUS server.

• Support for EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol, RFC 2486) that allows additional authentication
methods to be deployed with no changes to the access point or the wireless clients.
RADIUS
RADIUS is based on a client-server model that supports authentication, authorization and accounting.
The access point is the client and the server is the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server handles the following
tasks:
• Authentication
Determines the identity of the users.
•Authorization
Determines the network services available to authenticated users once they are connected to the
network.
• Accounting
Keeps track of the client’s network activity.
RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which your AP acts as a message relay between the wireless
client and the network RADIUS server.
Types of RADIUS Messages
The following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the access point and the RADIUS
server for user authentication:
• Access-Request
Sent by an access point requesting authentication.
• Access-Reject
Sent by a RADIUS server rejecting access.
• Access-Accept
Sent by a RADIUS server allowing access.
• Access-Challenge
Sent by a RADIUS server requesting more information in order to allow access. The access point sends
a proper response from the user and then sends another Access-Request message.
The following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the access point and the RADIUS
server for user accounting:
• Accounting-Request
Sent by the access point requesting accounting.
• Accounting-Response
Sent by the RADIUS server to indicate that it has started or stopped accounting.
In order to ensure network security, the access point and the RADIUS server use a shared secret key,
which is a password, they both know. The key is not sent over the network. In addition to the shared key,
password information exchanged is also encrypted to protect the network from unauthorized access.

Types of EAP Authentication
This section discusses some popular authentication types: EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP and LEAP.
Your wireless LAN device may not support all authentication types.
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an authentication protocol that runs on top of the IEEE 802.1x
transport mechanism in order to support multiple types of user authentication. By using EAP to interact
with an EAP-compatible RADIUS server, an access point helps a wireless station and a RADIUS server
perform authentication.
The type of authentication you use depends on the RADIUS server and an intermediary AP(s) that
supports IEEE 802.1x.
For EAP-TLS authentication type, you must first have a wired connection to the network and obtain the
certificate(s) from a certificate authority (CA). A certificate (also called digital IDs) can be used to
authenticate users and a CA issues certificates and guarantees the identity of each certificate owner.
EAP-MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5)
MD5 authentication is the simplest one-way authentication method. The authentication server sends a
challenge to the wireless client. The wireless client ‘proves’ that it knows the password by encrypting the
password with the challenge and sends back the information. Password is not sent in plain text.
However, MD5 authentication has some weaknesses. Since the authentication server needs to get the
plaintext passwords, the passwords must be stored. Thus someone other than the authentication server
may access the password file. In addition, it is possible to impersonate an authentication server as MD5
authentication method does not perform mutual authentication. Finally, MD5 authentication method
does not support data encryption with dynamic session key. You must configure WEP encryption keys for
data encryption.
EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security)
With EAP-TLS, digital certifications are needed by both the server and the wireless clients for mutual
authentication. The server presents a certificate to the client. After validating the identity of the server,
the client sends a different certificate to the server. The exchange of certificates is done in the open
before a secured tunnel is created. This makes user identity vulnerable to passive attacks. A digital
certificate is an electronic ID card that authenticates the sender’s identity. However, to implement EAP-
TLS, you need a Certificate Authority (CA) to handle certificates, which imposes a management
overhead.
EAP-TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Service)
EAP-TTLS is an extension of the EAP-TLS authentication that uses certificates for only the server-side
authentications to establish a secure connection. Client authentication is then done by sending
username and password through the secure connection, thus client identity is protected. For client
authentication, EAP-TTLS supports EAP methods and legacy authentication methods such as PAP, CHAP,
MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP v2.
PEAP (Protected EAP)
Like EAP-TTLS, server-side certificate authentication is used to establish a secure connection, then use
simple username and password methods through the secured connection to authenticate the clients,
thus hiding client identity. However, PEAP only supports EAP methods, such as EAP-MD5, EAP-MSCHAPv2
Appendix B Wireless LANs
XMG3563-B10A User’s Guide
302
and EAP-GTC (EAP-Generic Token Card), for client authentication. EAP-GTC is implemented only by
Cisco.
LEAP
LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a Cisco implementation of IEEE 802.1x.
Dynamic WEP Key Exchange
The AP maps a unique key that is generated with the RADIUS server. This key expires when the wireless
connection times out, disconnects or reauthentication times out. A new WEP key is generated each
time reauthentication is performed.
If this feature is enabled, it is not necessary to configure a default encryption key in the wireless security
configuration screen. You may still configure and store keys, but they will not be used while dynamic
WEP is enabled.
Note: EAP-MD5 cannot be used with Dynamic WEP Key Exchange
For added security, certificate-based authentications (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP) use dynamic keys for
data encryption. They are often deployed in corporate environments, but for public deployment, a
simple user name and password pair is more practical. The following table is a comparison of the
features of authentication types.
WPA and WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless
security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and key management than WPA.
Key differences between WPA or WPA2 and WEP are improved data encryption and user
authentication.
If both an AP and the wireless clients support WPA2 and you have an external RADIUS server, use WPA2
for stronger data encryption. If you don't have an external RADIUS server, you should use WPA2-PSK
(WPA2-Pre-Shared Key) that only requires a single (identical) password entered into each access point,
wireless gateway and wireless client. As long as the passwords match, a wireless client will be granted
access to a WLAN.
If the AP or the wireless clients do not support WPA2, just use WPA or WPA-PSK depending on whether
you have an external RADIUS server or not.

303
Select WEP only when the AP and/or wireless clients do not support WPA or WPA2. WEP is less secure
than WPA or WPA2.
Encryption
WPA improves data encryption by using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Message Integrity Check
(MIC) and IEEE 802.1x. WPA2 also uses TKIP when required for compatibility reasons, but offers stronger
encryption than TKIP with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in the Counter mode with Cipher block
chaining Message authentication code Protocol (CCMP).
TKIP uses 128-bit keys that are dynamically generated and distributed by the authentication server. AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) is a block cipher that uses a 256-bit mathematical algorithm called
Rijndael. They both include a per-packet key mixing function, a Message Integrity Check (MIC) named
Michael, an extended initialization vector (IV) with sequencing rules, and a re-keying mechanism.
WPA and WPA2 regularly change and rotate the encryption keys so that the same encryption key is
never used twice.
The RADIUS server distributes a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) key to the AP that then sets up a key hierarchy
and management system, using the PMK to dynamically generate unique data encryption keys to
encrypt every data packet that is wirelessly communicated between the AP and the wireless clients. This
all happens in the background automatically.
The Message Integrity Check (MIC) is designed to prevent an attacker from capturing data packets,
altering them and resending them. The MIC provides a strong mathematical function in which the
receiver and the transmitter each compute and then compare the MIC. If they do not match, it is
assumed that the data has been tampered with and the packet is dropped.
By generating unique data encryption keys for every data packet and by creating an integrity
checking mechanism (MIC), with TKIP and AES it is more difficult to decrypt data on a Wi-Fi network than
WEP and difficult for an intruder to break into the network.
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSK are the same. The only difference
between the two is that WPA(2)-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific
credentials. The common-password approach makes WPA(2)-PSK susceptible to brute-force password-
guessing attacks but it’s still an improvement over WEP as it employs a consistent, single, alphanumeric
password to derive a PMK which is used to generate unique temporal encryption keys. This prevent all
wireless devices sharing the same encryption keys. (a weakness of WEP)
User Authentication
WPA and WPA2 apply IEEE 802.1x and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless
clients using an external RADIUS database. WPA2 reduces the number of key exchange messages from
six to four (CCMP 4-way handshake) and shortens the time required to connect to a network. Other
WPA2 authentication features that are different from WPA include key caching and pre-authentication.
These two features are optional and may not be supported in all wireless devices.
Key caching allows a wireless client to store the PMK it derived through a successful authentication with
an AP. The wireless client uses the PMK when it tries to connect to the same AP and does not need to go
with the authentication process again.
Pre-authentication enables fast roaming by allowing the wireless client (already connecting to an AP) to
perform IEEE 802.1x authentication with another AP before connecting to it.

Wireless Client WPA Supplicants
A wireless client supplicant is the software that runs on an operating system instructing the wireless client
how to use WPA. At the time of writing, the most widely available supplicant is the WPA patch for
Windows XP, Funk Software's Odyssey client.
The Windows XP patch is a free download that adds WPA capability to Windows XP's built-in "Zero
Configuration" wireless client. However, you must run Windows XP to use it.
WPA(2) with RADIUS Application Example
To set up WPA(2), you need the IP address of the RADIUS server, its port number (default is 1812), and the
RADIUS shared secret. A WPA(2) application example with an external RADIUS server looks as follows. "A"
is the RADIUS server. "DS" is the distribution system.
1The AP passes the wireless client's authentication request to the RADIUS server.
2The RADIUS server then checks the user's identification against its database and grants or denies
network access accordingly.
3A 256-bit Pairwise Master Key (PMK) is derived from the authentication process by the RADIUS server and
the client.
4The RADIUS server distributes the PMK to the AP. The AP then sets up a key hierarchy and management
system, using the PMK to dynamically generate unique data encryption keys. The keys are used to
encrypt every data packet that is wirelessly communicated between the AP and the wireless clients.

WPA(2)-PSK Application Example
A WPA(2)-PSK application looks as follows.

1First enter identical passwords into the AP and all wireless clients. The Pre-Shared Key (PSK) must consist
of between 8 and 63 ASCII characters or 64 hexadecimal characters (including spaces and symbols).
2The AP checks each wireless client's password and allows it to join the network only if the password
matches.
3The AP and wireless clients generate a common PMK (Pairwise Master Key). The key itself is not sent over
the network, but is derived from the PSK and the SSID.
4The AP and wireless clients use the TKIP or AES encryption process, the PMK and information exchanged
in a handshake to create temporal encryption keys. They use these keys to encrypt data exchanged
between them.

Antenna Overview
An antenna couples RF signals onto air. A transmitter within a wireless device sends an RF signal to the
antenna, which propagates the signal through the air. The antenna also operates in reverse by
capturing RF signals from the air.
Positioning the antennas properly increases the range and coverage area of a wireless LAN.
Antenna Characteristics
Frequency
An antenna in the frequency of 2.4GHz (IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g) or 5GHz (IEEE 802.11a) is needed
to communicate efficiently in a wireless LAN
Radiation Pattern
A radiation pattern is a diagram that allows you to visualize the shape of the antenna’s coverage area.
Antenna Gain
Antenna gain, measured in dB (decibel), is the increase in coverage within the RF beam width. Higher
antenna gain improves the range of the signal for better communications.
For an indoor site, each 1 dB increase in antenna gain results in a range increase of approximately 2.5%.
For an unobstructed outdoor site, each 1dB increase in gain results in a range increase of approximately
5%. Actual results may vary depending on the network environment.
Antenna gain is sometimes specified in dBi, which is how much the antenna increases the signal power
compared to using an isotropic antenna. An isotropic antenna is a theoretical perfect antenna that
sends out radio signals equally well in all directions. dBi represents the true gain that the antenna
provides.
Types of Antennas for WLAN
There are two types of antennas used for wireless LAN applications.
• Omni-directional antennas send the RF signal out in all directions on a horizontal plane. The coverage
area is torus-shaped (like a donut) which makes these antennas ideal for a room environment. With a
wide coverage area, it is possible to make circular overlapping coverage areas with multiple access
points.
• Directional antennas concentrate the RF signal in a beam, like a flashlight does with the light from its
bulb. The angle of the beam determines the width of the coverage pattern. Angles typically range
from 20 degrees (very directional) to 120 degrees (less directional). Directional antennas are ideal for
hallways and outdoor point-to-point applications.
Positioning Antennas
In general, antennas should be mounted as high as practically possible and free of obstructions. In
point-to–point application, position both antennas at the same height and in a direct line of sight to
each other to attain the best performance.
Appendix B Wireless LANs
XMG3563-B10A User’s Guide
307
For omni-directional antennas mounted on a table, desk, and so on, point the antenna up. For omni-
directional antennas mounted on a wall or ceiling, point the antenna down. For a single AP application,
place omni-directional antennas as close to the center of the coverage area as possible.
For directional antennas, point the antenna in the direction of the desired coverage area.
