SANTIS ADSL 50/500 User Manual

Securing your wireless network

Using radio waves, a wireless network introduces some security risks which are not present in a wired network; an unauthorized third party can intercept transmitted data, gain access to your wireless network, ??? In order to make your wireless network as secure as a wired network you should apply, at least, the following guidelines:

Change the SSID

Your wireless network is identified on the basis of an SSID (Service Set Identifier). This parameter, which can be considered as the network name, is broadcasted periodically through a beacon. Also the SSID is, in most cases, set default to a well-known value. To improve the security you can:

1.Disable the SSID broadcast. Users who want to connect to your wireless network must know this value to become connected. Also, your wireless network becomes invisible to a third party.

2.Change the default value of the SSID. The SSID can contain maximal 32 characters and it???s best to choose a value, which is not too obvious.

Activate WEP

To guarantee that your data is transmitted in a private manner, you should activate WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). Use of this protocol will result in your data being encrypted while traveling through the air. Choose the largest encryption key possible (in most cases this is 128 bits) and make sure that each PC on your wireless network uses the same key as the access point.

You can even improve the security by changing the WEP-key on a regular base.

Activate MAC-address control list

By means of the MAC-address list, also known as the Association Control List, you can determine which client adapters can access your wireless network. This is done by introducing the MAC-address of the client adapter in the concerned list of the access point. A MAC address consists of 12 characters (0-9,A-F) and can be found on the back of the client adapter. A client adapter whose MAC address is not included in the list will not be granted access to your wireless network.

Change / activate passwords

Configuration of the access point is done through a web browser. Secure this access, and any other access, which may exist, by a carefully chosen password. If a default password, set by the manufacturer, is used, you should replace this by your own password.

Chapter 3: Configuration

Step 2: Quick Configuration via web browser

Note:

For security reasons it is very important that you follow carefully the instructions in paragraphs Wireless Configuration and Wireless Security below!

LAN Configuration

For the LAN Configuration, there are two types that you have to know, IP Address and DHCP Server.

IP Address

LAN Configuration allows you to define the public/private IP address over the LAN interface.

Primary IP Address: Private IP address is used for the purpose of system management. When it is assigned, PC on the LAN is able to use the specified address to access this ADSL Router through Ethernet.

By default, the IP address and subnet mask is 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0 respectively. This will give you an available range of IP addresses from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 that can be assigned to PCs on the LAN.

Secondary IP Address: If you applied for multiple IP address from your ISP, you will have a range of IP address for the ADSL Router and other network devices on the LAN. You can fill in the IP address assigned by ISP in the public IP address field.

DHCP Server

This page allows you to enable DHCP server on LAN interface and then your router can assign IP addresses to those PCs connected to your router.

SANTIS ADSL 50/500 User Manual

The ADSL Router implements a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which dynamically assigns IP addresses and DNS server to the PCs on the LAN. DHCP function spares you the hassle of manually assigning a fixed IP address to each PC on the LAN. It is probably you already have a DHCP server on your network and you do not enable this function. By default the DHCP Server is enabled on private LAN interface (192.168.1.1).

Start IP address: First IP address of the DHCP address range.

End IP address: Last IP address of the DHCP address range.

DHCP lease time: Specify the time that a network device can lease a private IP address before the ADSL Router reassigning the IP address.

Default Gateway: You check the Report this host as the default gateway box to use this host as the default gateway or fill in an IP address as the default gateway.

Domain Name Servers: You can check the Report this host as the DNS server box to use this host as the default DNS. Or you can uncheck the box and manually set up the DNS IP address in the Primary/Secondary DNS IP address fields. The DNS server addresses will be passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP addresses. The DHCP clients use the DNS to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa.

DHCP Relay Agent: If the DHCP Relay Agent is activated, those DHCP Discover or Request packets coming from the end users??? PCs will be relayed to a remote end DHCP server which is hosted by an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Some ISPs would like to be able to distribute IP addresses to end user PCs directly.

Select DHCP Server Enabled and click Configure to get advanced settings. Please enter the requiring information and click Apply to invoke the configurations.

The ADSL Router supports for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) over ADSL. To set up connections over the WAN, you have to define ATM PVC interface for each remote connection. On this page, you can create, modify and delete PVC interface.

You can select an existing ATM PVC interface and click Modify to edit its parameters or click Delete if you want to delete it.

To add a new PVC interface, click Create a new PVC and follow these steps:

1.Select one of connection type in the Data Mode (RFC1483 Bridged, RFC1483 Routed, RFC1483 MER, PPPoA or PPPoE) and click Next.

2.Fill in the VPI/VCI values and select ATM Service Type, Encapsulation Type and PCR.

3.Click Apply.

SANTIS ADSL 50/500 User Manual

4.At PPPoE, PPPoA, RFC1483 Routed and RFC1483 MER mode Configuration, you can select Specify an IP address or Server assigned IP address.

5.Unless your ATM PVC is set on RFC1483 Bridged mode, you can check NAT box to enable NAT function.

6.If you are using PPP (PPPoE or PPPoA) configuration mode, you need to fill in the user name and password and you can set the PPP session to Dial on demand or Always on mode.

The parameters are described as below:

VPI (Virtual Path Identifier): Identifies the virtual path between endpoints in an ATM network. The valid range is from 0 to 255.

VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier): Identifies the virtual channel endpoints in an ATM network. The valid range is from 32 to 4095 (1 to 31 is reserved for well-known protocols).

Note:

If a fixed WAN IP is entered, note that this IP address and the subnet mask could not be the same with the public LAN interface.

Note: When you initially add a PVC for the PPP connection and connect to ISP, a default routing of 0.0.0.0 is added automatically to the IP Static Routing. If you set up more than one PVC profiles and the first PVC is deleted, then you have to manually add the default routing.

IP Route

Static Route

This page shows all static route status and allows you to add new static IP route or delete IP route. A Static IP Routing is a manually defined path, which determines the data-transmitting route. If your local network is composed of multiple subnets, you may want to specify a routing path to the routing table.

You can click Create a new route to add new route.

Destination Address: The destination IP address of the network where data packets are to be sent.

SANTIS ADSL 50/500 User Manual

Forward packets to: If you want add a rout on LAN side, you should choose the Gateway Address. Enter the router address and then click Apply. If you want add a rout on WAN side, you should choose the Interface. Select ATM PVC interface and then click Apply.

Dynamic Routing

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is utilized as a means of exchanging routing information between routers. It helps the routers to determine optimal routes. This page allows you to enable/disable this function.

By default, RIP is disabled with Disabled selected. You are allowed to enable RIP over the primary LAN interface. Upon each interface, you can customize the RIP on Receive Mode and Transmit Mode respectively.

Receive Mode: It incorporates the RIP information when receiving the RIP packets. From the drop-down list select which RIP version should be accepted, RIP disabled, RIPv1, RIPv2 and both.

Transmit Mode: It broadcasts the routing table. From the drop-down list select which RIP version should be broadcasted, RIP disable, RIPv1, RIPv2 and both.

Virtual Server

This page shows all virtual server rules configured in your ADSL Router.

The Router implements NAT to let your entire local network appear as a single machine to the Internet. The typical situation is that you have local servers for different services and you want to make them publicly accessible. With NAT applied, it will translate the internal IP addresses of these servers to a single IP address that is unique on the Internet. NAT function not only eliminates the need for multiple public IP addresses but also provides a measure of security for your LAN.

When the router receives an incoming IP packet requesting for access to your local server, the router will recognize the service type according to the port number in this packet (e.g., port 80 indicates HTTP service and port 21 indicates FTP service). By specifying the port number, you tell the router which service should be forwarded to the

Chapter 3: Configuration

local IP address you specify.

After you setting the virtual server you should modify the filter rule whichever port and service you set on virtual server. Because the firewall has protect the route by filter rule so that you should update the filter rule after you set up virtual server.

Protocol:Select a protocol type used by the service that will be forwarded.

TCP/IP Port: The Router supports port mapping function that translates a standard port number to a non-standard number. Incoming data packets sent to a specific IP port can be mapped to the port you specify. The most often used port numbers include:

21 (FTP), 80 (HTTP), 23 (Telnet) and 25(SMTP)

IP Address: Specify the internal IP address to which the packets are forwarded.

In the virtual server list table, you may select required entry to modify or delete it by clicking Modify or Delete. In order to add new virtual server service entry, click Create a new server button.

Then follow the steps below:

1.Select the ATM PVC interface.

2.Select the protocol type from the drop-down list.

3.Select a service in TCP /IP Port field and enter the port number you want to use.

4.Enter the IP address of the internal server in the IP Address filed.

5.Click Apply to commit the setting.

SANTIS ADSL 50/500 User Manual

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) allows one IP address (computer) to be exposed to the Internet. Some applications require multiple TCP/IP ports to be open. It is recommended that you set your computer with a static private IP address if you want to use DMZ. The DMZ Host settings allow one local user to be exposed to the Internet to use special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or Video-conferencing. It is strongly recommended that you only define servers as DMZ host, which do not signify a security risk. To set up a DMZ host proceed as follows:

1.Enter the IP address of your DMZ host and click to Apply.

2.Your designated servers on the LAN are no accessible to the outside.

IGMP Proxy

IGMP proxy enables the system to issue IGMP host messages on behalf of hosts that the system discovered via standard IGMP interfaces. The system acts as a proxy for its hosts.

If you enable IGMP proxy on your ADSL Router, your ADSL Router is the upstream interface.

On the interfaces connected to your ADSL Router you have to run IGMP. These interfaces are known as downstream interfaces.

Downstream interfaces connected to the upstream interface (IGMP Proxy) can join for example the same video stream at the same time. The advantage with the IGMP Proxy is, that the bandwidth of the video stream is only used once: from the upstream interface to the video server in the Internet. All downstream interfaces will download the video stream form the IGMP Proxy and not from the Internet directly.

In IGMP operation, hosts interact with the system through the exchange of IGMP messages. Similarly, when you configure IGMP proxy, the system interacts with the router on its upstream interface through the exchange of IGMP messages. However, when acting as the proxy, the system performs the host portion of the IGMP task on the upstream interface as follows:

???When queried, sends group membership reports to the group

???When one of its hosts joins a multicast address group to which none of its other hosts belong, sends unsolicited group membership report to that group

???When the last of its hosts in a particular multicast group leaves the group, sends an unsolicited leave group membership report to all-routers group

Chapter 6: Troubleshooting

If the suggested solutions in this section do not resolve your issue, contact your system administrator or Internet service provider.

Problems with LAN

PCs on the LAN can not get IP addresses from the ADSL Router.

The chances are that the interface used as DHCP server is modified and the clients PCs do not renew IP addresses.

If your DHCP server is enabled on Private IP Address previously and you modify the interface to Public IP Address, the client PCs should renew IP addresses.

The PC on the LAN cannot access the Web page of the ADSL Router.

Check that your PC is on the same subnet with the ADSL Router.

The virtual server can???t be access after setting virtual server.

Check the filter rule of the port that virtual server service setting for example, the virtual server service set FTP 21 you need update the filter rule of the ftp 21 Direction setting: Choose filter the packets that incoming action (In Bound) are Allow on the interface.

Problems with WAN

You cannot access the Internet.

If your ADSL Router is set to routing mode and you use private IP addresses on the LAN, go to WAN Configuration > ATM PVC > Setup the ATM PVC Interface page. Make sure that Enable network address Translation (NAT) is checked.

Check the IP settings:

Go to LAN Configuration > IP Address page, ensure you specify IP address on Public IP Address field.

Or go to WAN Configuration > ATM PVC > Setup the ATM PVC Interface page, ensure you specify IP address on Specified Local WAN IP address field

Check the physical connection between the ADSL Router and the LAN.

If the DSL LED on the front panel is off or keeps blinking, there may be problem on the cable connecting to the ADSL Router.

At the DOS prompt, ping the IP address of the ADSL Router, e.g., ping 192.168.1.1. If the following response occurs:

Relay from 192.168.1.1 bytes=32 time=100ms TTL=253

Then the connection between the ADSL Router and the network is OK.

If you get a failed ping with the response of:

Request time out

Then the connection is fail. Check the cable between the ADSL Router and the network. Check the DNS setting of the ADSL Router.

At the DOS prompt, ping the IP address of the DNS provided by your ISP. For example, if your DNS IP is 168.95.1.1, then ping 168.95.1.1. If the following response occurs:

Relay from 168.65.1.1 bytes=32 time=100ms TTL=253

Then the connection to the DNS is OK.

If you get a failed ping with the response of:

Chapter 7: Glossary

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol )

ARP is a TCP/IP protocol for mapping an IP address to a physical machine address that is recognized in the local network, such as an Ethernet address.

A host wishing to obtain a physical address broadcasts an ARP request onto the TCP/IP network. The host on the network that has the IP address in the request then replies with its physical hardware address.

Inverse ARP (In-ARP), on the other hand, is used by a host to discover its IP address. In this case, the host broadcasts its physical address and a RARP server replies with the host's IP address.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

When operates as a DHCP server, the ADSL Router assign IP addresses to the client PCs on the LAN. The client PCs ???leases??? these Private IP addresses for a user-defined amount of time. After the lease time expires, the private IP address is made available for assigning to other network devices.

The DHCP IP address can be a single, fixed public IP address, an ISP assigned public IP address, or a private IP address.

If you enable DHCP server on a private IP address, a public IP address will have to be assigned to the NAT IP address, and NAT has to be enabled so that the DHCP IP address can be translated into a public IP address. By this, the client PCs are able to access the Internet.

LAN (Local Area Network) & WAN (Wide Area Network)

A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building. A WAN, on the other hand, is an outside connection to another network or the Internet.

The Ethernet side of the ADSL Router is called the LAN port. It is a twisted-pair Ethernet 10Base-T interface. A hub can be connected to the LAN port. More than one computers, such as server or printer, can be connected through this hub to the ADSL Router and composes a LAN.

The DSL port of the ADSL Router composes the WAN interface, which supports PPP or RFC 1483 connecting to another remote DSL device.

NAT (Network Address Translation) IP Address

NAT is an Internet standard that translates a private IP within one network to a public IP address, either a static or dynamic one. NAT provides a type of firewall by hiding internal IP addresses. It also enables a company to use more internal IP addresses.

If the IP addresses given by your ISP are not enough for each PC on the LAN and the ADSL Router, you need to use NAT. With NAT, you make up a private IP network for the LAN and assign an IP address from that network to each PC. One of some public addresses is configured and mapped to a private workstation address when accesses are made through the gateway to a public network.

For example, the ADSL Router is assigned with the public IP address of 168.111.2.1. With NAT enabled, it creates a Virtual LAN. Each PC on the Virtual LAN is assigned with a private IP address with default value of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.2.254. These PCs are not accessible by the outside word but they can communicate with the outside world through the public IP 168.111.2.1.

Chapter 7: Glossary

Private IP Address

Private IP addresses are also LAN IP addresses, but are considered ???illegal??? IP addresses to the Internet. They are private to an enterprise while still permitting full network layer connectivity between all hosts inside an enterprise as well as all public hosts of different enterprises.

The ADSL Router uses private IP addresses by assigning them to the LAN that cannot be directly accessed by the Internet or remote server. To access the Internet, private network should have an agent to translate the private IP address to public IP address.

Public IP Address

Public IP addresses are LAN IP addresses that can be considered ???legal??? for the Internet, because they can be recognized and accessed by any device on the other side of the DSL connection. In most cases they are allocated by your ISP.

If you are given a range of fixed IP addresses, then one can be assigned to the router and the others to network devices on the LAN, such as computer workstations, ftp servers, and web servers.

PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit)

A PVC is a logical point-to-point circuit between customer sites. PVCs are low-delay circuits because routing decisions do not need to be made along the way. Permanent means that the circuit is preprogrammed by the carrier as a path through the network. It does not need to be set up or torn down for each session.

RIP (Routing Information Protocol)

RIP is a routing protocol that uses the distance-vector routing algorithms to calculate least-hops routes to a destination. It is used on the Internet and is common in the NetWare environment. It exchanges routing information with other routers. It includes V1, V2 and V1&V2, which controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets over Ethernet.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol)

UDP is a connectionless transport service that dispenses with the reliability services provided by TCP. UDP gives applications a direct interface with IP and the ability to address a particular application process running on a host via a port number without setting up a connection session.

Virtual Server

You can designate virtual servers, e.g., a FTP, web, telnet or mail server, on your local network and make them accessible to the outside world. A virtual server means that it is not a dedicated server -- that is, the entire computer is not dedicated to running on the public network but in the private network.

VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) & VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier)

A VPI is a 8-bit field while VCI is a 16-bit field in the ATM cell header. A VPI identifies a link formed by a virtual path and a VCI identifies a channel within a virtual path. In this way, the cells belonging to the same connection can be distinguished. A unique and separate VPI/VCI identifier is assigned in advance to indicate which type of cell is following, unassigned cells, physical layer OAM cells, metasignalling channel or a generic broadcast signaling channel. Your ISP should supply you with the values.
