5 Chapter 1: Introduction Introduction to your Router Welcome to the wireless ADSL Firewall Router. The router is an “all-in-one” ADSL router, combining an ADSL modem, ADSL router and Ethernet network switch functionalities, providing everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over your ADSL broadband connection. With features such as an ADSL Quick-Start wizard and DHCP Server, you can be online in no time at all and with a minimum of fuss and configuration, catering for first-time users to the guru requiring advanced features and control over their Internet connection and network. Features Express Internet Access The router complies with ADSL worldwide standards. It supports downstream rate up to 12/24 Mbps with ADSL2/2+, 8Mbps with ADSL. Users enjoy not only high-speed ADSL services but also broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much easier and faster than ever. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (ITU G.992.1); G.lite (ITU G.992.2); G.hs (ITU G994.1); G.dmt.bis (ITU G.992.3); G.dmt.bis.plus (ITU G.992.5)). 802.11g Wireless AP with WPA Support With integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point in the router, the device offers a quick and easy access among wired network, wireless network and broadband connection with single device simplicity, and as a result, mobility to the users. In addition to 54 Mbps 802.11g data rate, it also interoperates backward with existing 802.11b equipment. The Wireless Protected Access (WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK) and Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) supported features enhance the security level of data protection and access control via Wireless LAN. Fast Ethernet Switch A 4-port 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching between MDI and MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports. An Ethernet straight or crossover cable can be used directly for auto detection. Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection It supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation overATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with the ISP. The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
6 Quick Installation Wizard It supports a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, end users can enter the information easily which they get from their ISP, then surf the Internet immediately. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices and PCs from many different vendors. It makes network simple and affordable for users. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, users can now connect to Net meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly. Network Address Translation (NAT) Allows multi-users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateway (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others. SOHO Firewall Security with DoS and SPI Along with the built-in NAT natural firewall feature, the router also provides advanced hacker pattern-filtering protection. It can automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The router is built with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to determine if a data packet is allowed through the firewall to the private LAN. Domain Name System (DNS) Relay It provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for users such as www.yahoo. com) and IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server with this router’s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router will be forwarded to the real DNS in the outside network. Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use the service, you must first apply for an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/. More than 5 DDNS servers are supported. Quality of Service (QoS) QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the router, ensuring important data like gaming packets, customer information, or management information move through the router ay lightning speed, even under heavy load. The QoS features are configurable by source IP address, destination IP address, protocol, and port. You can throttle
7 the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router, to ensure P2P users don’t saturate upload bandwidth, or office browsing doesn’t bring client web serving to a halt. In addition, or alternatively, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds. Virtual Server (“port forwarding”) Users can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect incoming service requests and forward either a single port or a range of ports to the specific local computer to handle it. For example, a user can assign a PC in the LAN acting as a WEB server inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside web servers directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the outside network, Internet. Rich Packet Filtering Not only filters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will filter packets from and to the Internet, and also provides a higher level of security control. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server In the WAN site, the DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate a range of client IP addresses and distribute them including IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP address to local computers. It provides an easy way to manage the local IP network. Static and RIP1/2 Routing It has routing capability and supports easy static routing table or RIP1/2 routing protocol. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP. Web based GUI It supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with on-line help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and manage this product. Firmware Upgradeable Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.
8 Rich Management Interfaces It supports flexible management interfaces with LAN port, and WAN port. Users can use terminal applications through Telnet, WEB GUI, and SNMP through LAN or WAN ports to configure and manage the device.

12 Cabling One of the most common causes of problems is the bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables. Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections.
13 Chapter 3: Basic Installation The router can be configured through your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me/Vista, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration. Please check your PC network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals. There are ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater hub or connect directly to your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior to connecting the router device. You ought to configure your PCs to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problem accessing the router web interface it is advisable to uninstall your firewall program on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their network. Please follow the following steps to configure your PC network environment.

Note: NAT/NAPT can be applied to management interface only.
38 Ethernet The router supports more than one Ethernet IP addresses in the LAN that supports multiple internet access at the same time. Users usually only have one subnet in their LAN. The default IP address for the router is 192.168.1.254. Primary IP Address IP Address: The default IP on this router. Subnet Mask: The default subnet mask on this router. RIP: RIP v1, RIP v2, and RIP v2 Multicast. Check to enable RIP function. IP Alias This function enables the creation of multiple virtual IP interfaces for this router. It helps to connect two or more local networks to the ISP or remote node. In this case, an internal router is not required. IP Address: Specify an IP address for this virtual interface. Netmask: Specify a subnet mask for this virtual interface. Security Interface: Specify the firewall setting for this virtual interface. Internal: This mean the network is behind NAT. All traffic will do network address translation when sending out data to the Internet if NAT is enabled. External: This means there is no NAT on this IP interface and it is connected directly to the Internet. This function is mostly used when you are provided with multiple public IP addresses by the ISP. In this case, you can use the public IP address in the local network whose gateway IP address points to the IP address on this interface. DMZ: Specify this network to a DMZ area. There is no NAT on this interface.
39 Ethernet Client Filter The Ethernet Client Filter can support up to 16 Ethernet network computers. It enables you to accept traffic from specific authorized computers or can restrict unwanted computer(s) to access your LAN. There are no pre-defined Ethernet MAC address filter rules, you can add the filter rules to meet your requirements. Ethernet Client Filter: Default setting is set Disable. Allowed: check to enable a specific PC to access your LAN by inserting the MAC Address in the space provided or click the Candidate button. Make sure your PC’s MAC is listed. Blocked: check to prevent an unwanted PC from accessing your LAN by inserting the MAC Address in the space provided or click the Candidate button. Make sure your PC’s MAC is not listed. The maximum number of client is 16. The MAC addresses should be 6 bytes long and are presented only in hexadecimal characters. Only numbers (0 - 9) and letters (a - f) are acceptable. Note: Follow the MAC Address Format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. Semicolon ( : ) must be included. Candidates: automatically detects devices that are connected to the router through the Ethernet. Click the Candidate button to access the Active PC in LAN window. Active PC in LAN: Active PC in LAN window displays a list of IP Address & MAC Address of each Ethernet device which connects to the router. You can check the checkbox next to the IP address to block or to allow the PC from accessing the LAN. Then, click Add to insert the IP to the Ethernet Client Filter table. The maximum number of supported Ethernet client is 16.

If you do not know or do not have both 11g and 11b devices on your network, then keep the setting in mixed mode. From the drop-down menu, you can select 802.11g if you have only 11g card. If you have only 11b card, then select 802.11b. ESSID: The ESSID is a unique name of a wireless access point (AP) used to distinguish one from another. For security purpose, change the default wlan-ap to a unique ID name that is already built into the router wireless interface. It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. Make sure your wireless clients have exactly the ESSID as the device in order to connect to your network. Note: It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. ESSID Broadcast: It is used to broadcast its ESSID on the network so that when a wireless client searches for a network, the router can be discovered and recognized. Default setting is Enable. Enable: When enabled, you allow anybody with a wireless client to be able to locate the Ac- cess Point (AP) of your router. Disable: When disabled, you do not broadcast your ESSID. Therefore, no one will be able to locate the Access Point (AP) of your router.

43 WEP WEP Authentication: To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the router offers secure data encryption, known as WEP. If you require high security for transmissions, there are two options to select from: Open System, Share key. WEP Encryption: To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the router offers highly secure data encryption, known as WEP. If you require high security for transmissions, there are two alternatives to select from: WEP 64 and WEP 128. WEP 128 will offer increased security over WEP 64. Passphrase: This is used to generate WEP keys automatically based upon the input string and a pre-defined algorithm in WEP64 or WEP128. Default Used WEP Key: Select the encryption key ID; please refer to Key (1~4) below. Key (1-4): Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission, the WEP Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router. There are four keys for your selection. The input format is in HEX style, 10 and 26 HEX codes are required for WEP64 and WEP128 respectively.
44 Wireless Client / MAC Address Filter The MAC Address supports up to 16 wireless network PCs and helps you manage your network control to accept traffic from specific authorized PCs or to restrict unwanted PC(s) to access your LAN.

45 WPS WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) feature is a standard protocol created by Wi-Fi Alliance. This protocol is used to build a Wi-Fi networks within a home / small office environment in an easy and secured manner. This feature thus provides a much simplified method to configure WiFi Protected Access to those who know very little about wireless security.
46 Port Setting This section allows you to configure the settings for the router’s Ethernet ports to solve some of the compatibility problems that may be encountered while connecting to the Internet, as well allowing users to tweak the performance of their network. Port # Connection Type: There are Six options to choose from: Auto, disable, 10M half-duplex, 10M full-duplex, 100M half-duplex, 100M full-duplex and Disable. Sometimes, there are Ethernet compatibility problems with legacy Ethernet devices, and you can configure different types to solve compatibility issues. The default is Auto, which users should keep unless there are specific problems with PCs not being able to access your LAN. IPv4 TOS priority Control (Advanced users): TOS, Type of Services, is the 2nd octet of an IP packet. Bits 6-7 of this octet are reserved and bit 0-5 are used to specify the priority of the packet. This feature uses bits 0-5 to classify the packet’s priority. If the packet priority is set as high, its transmission will be given the first priority it will not be constrained by the Rate Limit. Therefore, when this feature is enabled, the router’s Ethernet switch will first check the 2nd octet of each IP packet. If the value in the TOS field matches the values checked in the table (0 to 63), this packet will be treated as high priority.
47 DHCP Server You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or enable the router’s DHCP relay functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to dynamically assign IP addresses to the PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP addresses automatically. To disable the router DHCP Server, check Disabled and click Next, then click Apply. When the DHCP Server is disabled you will need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each PC on your network, and set the default gateway for each PC to the IP address of the router (by default this is 192.168.1.254). To configure the router DHCP Server, check DHCP Server and click Next. You can then configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and ending IP address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP address (the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the gateway IP address. These details are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from the DHCP server. Click Apply to enable this function. If you check Use Router as a DNS Server”, the Router will perform the domain name lookup, find the IP address from the outside network automatically and forward it back to the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network). If you check DHCP Relay Agent and click Next, then you will have to enter the IP address of the DHCP server which will assign an IP address back to the DHCP client in the LAN. Use this function only if advised to do so by your network administrator or ISP. Click Apply to enable this function.

60 System Here are the items within the System section: Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart and User Management. Time Zone The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use. Daylight Saving is also known as Summer Time Period. Many places in the world adapt it during summer time to move one hour of daylight from morning to the evening in local standard time. Check Enable checkbox to set your local time. Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router will wait before it re-synchronizes the router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. In order to avoid unnecessarily increasing the load on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the absolute minimum every few hours or even days.
61 Remote Access This feature enables system administrator to set the time interval where the router can be accessed for administration purpose from a remote site (i.e. from outside your LAN). If you wish to permanently enable remote access, set the time period to 0 minute. Firmware Upgrade Your router firmware is the software that enables it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software it runs. Over time this software may be improved and revised, and your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes. Clicking on Browse will allow you to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded to your PC. Once the correct file is selected, click Upgrade to update the firmware in your router.
62 Backup / Restore This function allows you to save a backup of the current configuration of your router to a file on your PC, or to restore a previously saved configuration. This is very useful if you wish to customize the setting of the router, knowing in advance that you can always restore the setting if any mistakes do occur. Therefore, It is advisable that you create a backup of the configuration of your router before customizing its configuration. Create a Router Configuration Backup To create a backup of the setting, simply press the Backup button and specify the location on where to save your configuration file. You may also change the name of the file if you wish to keep multiple backups. Restoring the Router Configuration To restore the configuration of the router, press Browse to locate the configuration file from your PC. Once the file has been located, click on the file then click on the Restore button to load the setting. Note: You should only restore the setting with the files that have been created using the Backup function with the most current firmware version. Settings files saved to your PC should not be manually edited in any way.
63 Restart Router Click Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router (and restore your last saved configuration). If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory default settings. You may also reset your router to factory settings by holding the small Reset pinhole button more than 6 seconds on the back of your router. Caution: After pressing the RESET button for more than 6 seconds, to be sure you power cycle the device again.
64 User Management In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router’s configuration interface, it requires that all users are to login the GUI with a password. You can set up multiple user accounts, each with their own password. You can Edit any existing user accounts and Add new user account to grant access to the device configuration interface. Edit Account Information You can change the informations of any account whether the account is active or valid. 1. To edit an account, select the Edit radio button of the account to be edited. Once selected, all information of that account will be displayed. 2. Delete the information to be edited and replace it with the new one. 3. When it is done, simply click on the Edit/ Delete button to save your changes. Note: It is recommended that you change the password immediately to prevent security breach to your GUI.
65 To Add an Account 1. Check the Valid checkbox, fill in all the information: User name, Comment (optional), Password, Confirm Password. 2. When it is done, click the Add button. To delete a user account: 1. Click on the Delete radio button of the account you want to delete. 2. Then click the Edit/Delete to confirm the deletion. Note: You can delete any user account except for the default admin account. Thus there is no delete radio button available for this account.
66 Firewall and Access Control Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for Internet access controlling from your LAN. This feature also protects your system from being attacked by hackers. When using NAT, the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, as all PCs on your LAN will have their own private IP addresses which is not directly accessible from the Internet. The router provides three levels of security support. NAT natural firewall: This masks LAN users’ IP addresses which are invisible to users on the Internet, thus making it more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural firewall is turned on when NAT function is enabled. Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules to prevent unauthorized computers or applications to access your local network from the Internet. Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent and log malicious attacks. Access Control: Prevent access from PCs on your local network: Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Outbound direction of Packet Filter rules to prevent unauthorized computers or applications from accessing the Internet. URL Filter: To block PCs on your local network from unwanted websites. Listed are the items under the Firewall section: General Settings, Packet Filter, Intrusion Detection, URL Filter, IM/P2P Blocking and Firewall Log.
67 General Settings You can choose to disable Firewall and still be able to access the URL Filter and IM/P2P Blocking or enable the Firewall using the preset filter rules and modify the port filter rules as required. The Packet Filter is used to filter packets based on Applications (Port) or IP addresses. There are four policy options to choose from: All blocked/User-defined: no predefined port or address filter rules by default, meaning that all inbound (Internet to LAN) and outbound (LAN to Internet) packets will be blocked. Users have to add their own filter rules to access the Internet. High/Medium/Low security level: the predefined port filter rules for High, Medium and Low security are displayed in the Port Filters of the Packet Filter. Select either High, Medium or Low security level to enable Firewall protection. The only difference between these three is the preset port filter rules in the Packet Filter. Firewall function is the same for all levels; it is only the list of preset port filters that changes between each setting. For more detail on level of preset port filter information, please refer to Table 1: Predefined Port Filter. If you choose the preset security levels and add custom filters, the level of filter rules will be saved and you do not need to re-configure the rules again if you disable or switch to the other security level. The “Block WAN Request” is a standalone function that is not affected by whether the security is enabled or disabled. This is used to prevent any scan tools that might be from hackers.
68 Packet Filter This function is only available when Firewall is enabled with one of the four security levels selected (All blocked, High, Medium and Low). The preset port filter rules in the Packet Filter must be modified accordingly to the level of security selected. See Table1: Predefined Port Filter for more detail information.
69 Example: Predefined Port Filters Rules The predefined port filter rules for High, Medium and Low security levels are listed. See Table 1. Note: Firewall – All Blocked/User-defined, you must define and create the port filter rules yourself. No predefined rule is being preconfigured.

It is recommended that this option be configured by an advanced user. Destination Port: This is the Port or Port Ranges that defines the application. Inbound / Outbound: Select Allow or Block the access to the Internet (“Outbound”) or from the Internet (“Inbound”). When all changes is made, click Add button to apply your changes.
72 Example: Configuring your firewall to allow a publicly accessible web server on your LAN The predefined port filter rule for HTTP (TCP port 80) is the same whether the firewall is set to a high, medium or low security level. To setup a web server located on the local network when the firewall is enabled, you have to configure the Port Filters setting for HTTP. As you can see from the diagram below, when the firewall is enabled with one of the three presets (Low/Medium/High) security level selected, an inbound HTTP access is not allowed which means remote access through HTTP to your router is not allowed. Note: Inbound indicates accessing from the Internet to LAN and Outbound is from LAN to the Internet.
73 Configuring Packet Filter: 1. Click Packet Filters. You will then be presented with the predefined port filter rules screen (in this case for the low security level), shown below: Note: You may click Edit the predefined rule instead of Delete it. This is an example to show to how you add a filter on your own. 2. If you want to delete a filter rule, select the delete radio button of the HTTP rule you want to delete. Then click the Edit/Delete button to delete the rule.
74 3. To add a new rule, Input the Rule Name, Time Schedule, Source/Destination IP, Type, Source/ Destination Port, Inbound and Outbound. Then click the Add button.
75 Intrusion Detection The router Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker’s attack and intrusion attempts from the Internet. If the IDS function of the firewall is enabled, inbound packets are filtered and blocked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks, intrusion attempts or other connections that the router determines to be suspicious. Blacklist: If the router detects a possible attack, the source IP or destination IP address will be added to the Blacklist. Any further attempts using this IP address will be blocked for the time period specified in the Block Duration. The default setting for this function is false (disabled). Some types of attack are denied immediately without using the Blacklist function, such as Land attack and Echo/CharGen scan. Intrusion Detection: If enabled, IDS will block Smurf attack attempts. Default is false. Block Duration: Victim Protection Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking Smurf attacks. Default value is 600 seconds. Scan Attack Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible Scan attack. Scan attack types include X’mas scan, IMAP SYN/FIN scan and similar at- tempts. Default value is 86400 seconds. DoS Attack Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Possible DoS attacks this attempts to block include Ascend Kill and WinNuke. Default value is 1800 seconds. Max TCP Open Handshaking Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether a SYN Flood attempt is occurring or not. Default value is 100 TCP SYN per seconds. Max PING Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether an ICMP Echo Storm is occurring or not. Default value is 15 ICMP Echo Requests (PING) per second. Max ICMP Count: This is a threshold to decide whether an ICMP flood is occurring or not. Default value is 100 ICMP packets per seconds except ICMP Echo Requests (PING).
76 For SYN Flood, ICMP Echo Storm and ICMP flood, IDS will just warn the user in the Event Log. It cannot protect against such attacks.

77 URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator) (e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http:// www.example.com) filter rule allows you to prevent users on your network from accessing specific websites defined by their URL. There are no predefined URL filter rules, therefore you can add filter rules to meet your requirements. Enable/Disable: Select to enable or disable URL Filter feature. Block Mode: A list of the modes that you can choose from to check the URL filter rules. The default is set to Always On. Disabled: No action will be performed by the Block Mode. Always On: Action is enabled. URL filter rules will be monitoring and checking at all hours of the day. TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: It is a self defined time period. You may specify the time period to check the URL filter rules, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section. Keywords Filtering: Allow blocking against specific keywords within a particular URL rather than having to specify a complete URL (e.g. to block any image called “advertisement.gif”). When enabled, your specified keywords list will be checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Please note that the URL filter blocks web browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only.
78 For example, if the URL is http://www.abc.com/abcde.html, the connection will be dropped if the keyword “abcde” occurs in the URL. Domains Filtering: This function checks the whole URL address but not the IP address against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will either be sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). For this function to be activated, both enable and disable checkboxes of Domain Filtering must be checked. Here is the checking procedure: 1. Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the connection attempt is sent to the remote web server. 2. If not, check if it is listed in the forbidden list. If yes, then the connection attempt will be dropped. 3. If the packet does not match either of the above two conditions, it is sent to the remote web server. 4. Please be noted that the completed URL, “www” + domain name should be specific. e.g.: In order to block traffic to www.google.com.au, enter “www.google” or “www.google.com” In the example below, the URL request for www.abc.com will be sent to the remote web server because it is listed in the trusted list, whilst the URL request for www.google or www.google.com will be dropped, because www.google is in the forbidden list.
79 Example: Andy wishes to disable all WEB traffic except for the ones listed in the trusted domain, which would prevent Bobby from accessing other websites. Andy selects both conditions in the Domain Filtering thinking that this will stop Bobby. But Bobby knows this function, Domain Filtering, ONLY disables all WEB traffic except for Trusted Domain, BUT not its IP address. If this is the situation, Block surfing by IP address function can become helpful. Now, Andy can successfully prevent Bobby from accessing other websites. Restrict URL Features: This function enhances the restriction to your URL rules. Block Java Applet: This function can block Web content that includes Java Applets. It is to prevent someone who wants to damage your system via standard HTTP protocol. Block surfing by IP address: A further restriction against someone who uses IP address as URL to cheat around the Domains Filtering rule. Activates only if Domain Filtering is en- abled.
80 IM / P2P Blocking IM, short for Instant Message, is a client software that allows users to communicate & exchange text messages with other IM users in real time over the Internet. A P2P application, known as Peer- to-peer, is group of users who share their files with each other within the network over the Internet across the globe. Both Instant Message and Peer-to-peer applications make communication faster and easier but your network can become increasingly insecure at the same time. Billion’s IM and P2P blocking helps users to restrict LAN PCs to access the commonly used IM, Yahoo and MSN, and P2P, BitTorrent and eDonkey, applications over the Internet. Instant Message Blocking: The default is set to Disabled. Disabled: Instant Message blocking is not triggered. No action will be performed. Always On: Action is enabled. TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: This is the self defined time period. You may specify the time period to trigger the blocking, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section. Yahoo/MSN Messenger: Check the checkbox to block either or both Yahoo or/and MSN Messenger. To be sure you enabled the Instant Message Blocking first. Peer to Peer Blocking: The default is set to Disabled. Disabled: Instant Message blocking is not triggered. No action will be performed. Always On: Action is enabled. TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: This is the self defined time period. You may specify the time period to trigger the blocking, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section. BitTorrent / eDonkey: Check the checkbox to block either or both Bit Torrent or/and eDonkey. To be sure you enabled the Peer to Peer Blocking first.
81 Firewall Log Firewall Log displays a log that contains information of any unexpected actions that occur to your firewall settings. Check the Enable checkbox to activate event logging. Log information can be seen in the Status – Event Log after the feature is enabled.
82 QoS - Quality of Service QoS function helps you to control the network traffic of each application from LAN (Ethernet and/ or Wireless) to WAN (Internet). It facilitates you the features to control the quality and speed of throughput for each application when the system is running with full upstream load. These are the items within the QoS section: Prioritization, Outbound IP Throttling & Inbound IP Throttling (bandwidth management). Prioritization There are three priority settings to be provided in the Router: High Normal (The default is normal priority for all of traffic without setting) Low The utilization percentage of each priority settings are High (60%), Normal (30%) and Low (10%). To delete an application, you can click on the Delete radio button of the application and then click the Edit/Delete button. Name: User defined description to identify the new policy/application created. Time Schedule: Schedule your prioritization policy. Priority: The priority given to each policy/application. Its default setting is set to High. You may adjust this setting to fit your policy / application. Protocol: The name of the supported protocol. Source IP Address Range: The source IP address or the range of the packets to be monitored. Source Port: The source port of the packets to be monitored.
83 Destination IP address Range: The destination IP address or range of packets to be monitored. Destination Port: The destination port of the packets to be monitored. DSCP Marking: Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), it is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte. DSCP Marking allows users to classify the traffic of the application to be executed according to the DSCP value. See Table 4 for DSCP Mapping Table. Note: Make sure that the router(s) in the network backbone are capable to execute and check the DSCP throughout the QoS network. Table 4: DSCP Mapping Table DSCP Mapping Table (Wireless) ADSL Router Standard DSCP Disabled None Best Effort Best Effort (000000) Premium Express Forwarding (101110) Gold service (L) Class 1, Gold (001010) Gold service (M) Class 1, Silver (001100) Gold service (H) Class 1, Bronze (001110) Silver service (L) Class 2, Gold (010010) Silver service (M) Class 2, Silver (010100) Silver service (H) Class 2, Bronze (010110) Bronze service (L) Class 3, Gold (011010) Bronze service (M) Class 3, Silver (011100) Bronze service (H) Class 3, Bronze (011110)

86 Example: QoS for your Network Connection Diagram VoIP Normal PCs Restricted PC
87 Information and Settings Upstream: 928 kbps Downstream: 8 Mbps VoIP User : 192.168.1.1 Normal Users : 192.168.1.2~192.168.1.5 Restricted User: 192.168.1.100
88 Mission-critical application Mostly the VPN connection is mission-critical application for doing data exchange between head and branch office. The mission-critical application must be sent out smoothly without any drop out. Set the level of priority as high to prevent other applications from saturating the bandwidth. Voice application Voice is latency-sensitive application. Most VoIP devices are use SIP protocol and the port number will be assigned by SIP module automatically. Better to use fixed IP address for catching VoIP packets as high priority. The setting above will help to improve the quality of your VoIP service when the the traffic is fully loaded.
89 Restricted Application Some companies will setup their FTP servers for data download while others may use FTP for file sharing. The setting above helps to limit the utilization of the FTP upstream rate. Time schedule also helps to limit its utilization only during daytime. Advanced setting by using IP throttling IP throttling enables you to set parameters for bandwidth allocation, although the applications maybe located on the same level. Upstream: 928kbps (29*32kbps) Mission-critical Application: 192kbps (6*32kbps) Voice Application: 128kbps (4*32kbps) Restricted Application: 160kbps (5*32kbps) Other Applications: 448kbps (14*32kbps) 6+4+14+5=29, 29*32kbps=928kbps
90 Sometime your customers or friends may upload their files to your FTP server and that will saturate your downstream bandwidth. The settings below help you to limit bandwidth for the restricted application.
91 Virtual Server (known as Port Forwarding) In TCP/IP and UDP networks, a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can locate them. If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e. from other machines on the Internet that are outside your local network), or any application that can accept incoming connections (e.g. Peer-to-peer/P2P software such as instant messaging applications and P2P file-sharing applications) and are using NAT (Network Address Translation), then you will usually need to configure your router to forward these incoming connection attempts using specific ports to the PC on your network running the application. You will also need to use port forwarding if you want to host an online game server. The reason for this is that when using NAT, your publicly accessible IP address will be used by and point to your router, which then needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by your PCs. Please see the WAN configuration section of this manual for more information on NAT. The device can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP services via the public (WAN) IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN network. Depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the device redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
92 Add Virtual Server Because NAT can act as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from being accessed by outside users when using NAT, as all incoming connection attempts will point to your router unless you specifically create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your network. When your router needs to allow an outside user to access the internal server, e.g. a web server, FTP server, Email server or game server, the router can act as a virtual server. You can set up a local server with a specific port number for this service, e.g. web/HTTP (port 80), FTP (port 21), Telnet (port 23), SMTP (port 25), or POP3 (port 110). When an incoming access request to the router for a specified port is received, it will be forwarded to the corresponding internal server. Application: User defined description to identify this entry or click the Application drop-down menu to select an existing predefined rules. : 20 predefined rules are available. Application, Protocol and External/Redirect Ports will be filled after the selection. Protocol: It is the supported protocol for the virtual server. In addition to specifying the port number to be used, you will also need to specify the protocol used. The protocol used is determined by a particular application. Most applications will use TCP or UDP. Time Schedule: User defined time period to enable your virtual server. You may specify a time schedule or select “Always on” for this Virtual Server Entry. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section. External Port: The Port number on the Remote/WAN side used when accessing the virtual server. Redirect Port: The Port number used by the Local server in the LAN network. Internal IP Address: The private IP in the LAN network, which will be providing the virtual server application. List all existing PCs connecting to the network. You may assign a PC with IP address and MAC from this list.
93 Example: If you like to remotely access your Router through the Web/HTTP all the time, you will need to enable port number 80 (Web/HTTP) and map to the Router’s IP Address. Then all incoming HTTP requests from you (Remote side) will be forwarded to the Router with an IP address of 192.168.1.254. Since port number 80 has already been predefined, next to the Application click Helper. A window with a list of predefined rules will pop, you can then select HTTP_Sever. Application: HTTP_Sever Time Schedule: Always On Protocol: tcp External Port: 80-80 Redirect Port: 80-80 IP Address: 192.168.1.254 Add: Click it to apply your settings. Edit/Delete: Click it to edit or delete this virtual server application.
94 Edit DMZ Host DMZ Host is a local computer that is exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets especially those that do not use the port number that is being used by any other Virtual Server entries will be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms before being passed to the DMZ host. Cautious: The local computer that is exposed to the Internet may face various security risks. Go to Configuration > Virtual Server > Edit DMZ Host Enabled: It activates your DMZ function. Disabled: As set in default setting, it disables the DMZ function. Internal IP Address: Give a static IP address to the DMZ Host when Enabled radio button is checked. Be aware that this IP will be exposed to the WAN/Internet. List all the existing PCs connected to the network. You may assign a PC with an IP address from this list. Select the Apply button to apply your changes.
95 Edit One-to-One NAT (Network Address Translation) One-to-One NAT maps a specific private / local IP address to a global / public IP address. If you have multiple public / WAN IP addresses from your ISP, you are eligible to use these IP addresses in One-to-One NAT . Go to Configuration > Virtual Server > Edit One-to-one NAT NAT Type: Select the desired NAT type. One-to-One NAT function is set to Disabled by default. Global IP Address: Subnet: The subnet of the public/WAN IP address given by your ISP. If your ISP has pro- vided this information, you may insert it here. Otherwise, use IP Range method. IP Range: The IP address range of your public/WAN IP addresses. For example, IP: 1.1.1.1, end IP: 1.1.1.10 Select the Apply button to apply your changes. Check to create a new One-to-One NAT rule:
96 Application: User defined description to identify this entry or click the drop-down menu to select an existing predefined rule. :20 predefined rules are available. Application, Protocol and External/Redirect Ports will be filled after the selection. Protocol: It is the supported protocol for the virtual server. In addition to specifying the port number to be used, you will also need to specify the protocol used. The protocol used is determined by the particular application. Most applications will use TCP or UDP. Time Schedule: User defined time period to enable your virtual server. You may specify a time schedule or select “Always on” for this Virtual Server Entry. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section. Global IP: Define a public / WAN IP address for this Application. This Global IP address must be defined in the Global IP Address blank. External Port: The Port number on the Remote / WAN side used when accessing the virtual server. Redirect Port: The Port number used by the Local server in the LAN network. Internal IP Address: The private IP in the LAN network which provides the virtual server application. List all the existing PCs connecting to the network. You may assign a PC with an IP address from this list. Select the Add button to apply your changes.
97 Example: List of some well-known and registered port numbers. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the central coordinator for the assignment of unique parameter values for Internet protocols. Port numbers range from 0 to 65535, but only ports numbers 0 to 1023 are reserved for privileged services and are designated as “well-known ports” (Please refer to Table 5). The registered ports are numbered from 1024 through 49151. The remaining ports, referred to as dynamic or private ports, are numbered from 49152 through 65535. For further information, please see IANA’s website at http://www.iana.org/assignments/port- numbers For help on determining which private port numbers are used by common applications on this list, please see the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) at http://www.billion.com Table 5: Well-known and registered Ports Port Number Protocol Description 20 TCP FTP Data 21 TCP FTP Contro 22 TCP & UDP SSH Remote Login Protocol 23 TCP Telnet 25 TCP SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) 53 TCP & UDP DNS (Domain Name Server) 69 UDP TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) 80 TCP World Wide Web HTTP 110 TCP POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) 119 TCP NEWS (Network News Transfer Protocol) 123 UDP NTP (Network Time Protocol) / SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) 161 TCP SNMP 443 TCP & UDP HTTPS 1503 TCP T.120 1720 TCP H.323 4000 TCP ICQ 7070 UDP RealAudio
98 Wake on LAN This feature provides greater flexibility for users to turn on / boot the computer of the network from a remotely site. MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the target computer or you can select the MAC address directly from the Select drop down menu on the right. : You can select the MAC from this list.
99 Time Schedule The Time Schedule supports up to 16 time slots which helps you to manage your Internet connection. In each time profile, you may schedule specific day(s) i.e. Monday through Sunday to restrict or allow the use of the Internet by users or applications. Time Schedule correlates closely with router time. Since router does not have a real time clock on board, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server. Refer to Time Zone for details. Your router time should correspond with your local time. If the time is not set correctly, your Time Schedule will not function properly.
100 Configuration of Time Schedule Edit a Time Slot 1. Choose any Time Slot (ID 1 to ID 16) to edit, click Edit radio button. Note: Watch it carefully, the days you have selected will present in capital letter. Lower case letter shows the day(s) is not selected, and no rule will apply on this day(s). 2. A detailed setting of this Time Slot will be shown. ID: This is the index of the time slot. Name: A user defined description to identify this time portfolio. Day in a week: The default is set from Monday through Friday. You may also specify the days for the schedule to be applied to. Start Time: The default is set at 8:00 AM. You may specify the start time of the schedule. End Time: The default is set at 18:00 (6:00PM). You may specify the end time of the schedule. Choose Edit radio button and click Edit/Delete button to apply your changes.
101 Delete a Time Slot Click on the Delete radio button of the Time Slot you wish to delete under the Time Slot section, and then click the Edit/Delete button to confirm the deletion of the selected Time profile, i.e. erase the Day and back to default setting of Start Time / End Time.
102 Advanced Configuration options within the Advanced section are for users who wish to take advantage of the more advanced features of the router. Users who do not understand the features should not attempt to reconfigure their router, unless advised to do so by support staff. These are the items within the Advanced section: Static Route, Static ARP, Dynamic DNS, Check Email, Device Management and IGMP. Static Route Go to Configuration > Advanced > Static Route. Destination: This is the destination subnet IP address. Netmask: Subnet mask of the destination IP addresses based on the above destination subnet IP. Gateway: This is the gateway IP address to which packets are to be forwarded. Interface: Select the interface through which packets are to be forwarded. Cost: This is the same meaning as Hop. This should usually be left at 1.
103 Static ARP IP Address: Fill in the IP address of the host computer that is sending the data packet. MAC Address: Fill in the MAC address of the computer that the incoming data packets are to be forwarded.
104 Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP. You will first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/ There are more than 5 DDNS services supported. Dynamic DNS: Disable: Check to disable the Dynamic DNS function. Enable: Check to enable the Dynamic DNS function. The following fields will be activated and required. Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with. Domain Name, Username and Password: Enter your registered domain name and your username and password for this service. Period: Set the time period between updates, for the Router to exchange information with the DDNS server. In addition to updating periodically as per your settings, the router will perform an update when your dynamic IP address changes.
105 Check Email This function allows you to have the router check your POP3 mailbox for new Email messages. The Mail LED on your router will light when it detects new messages waiting for download. You may also view the status of this function using the Status – Email Checking section of the web interface, which also provides details on the number of new messages waiting. See the Status section of this manual for more information. Check Email: Disable: Check to disable the Email checking function. Enable: Check to enable the Email checking function. The following fields will be activated and required. Account Name: Enter the name (login) of the POP3 account you wish to check. Normally, it is the text in your email address before the "@" symbol. If you have trouble with it, please contact your ISP. Password: Enter the account’s password. POP3 Mail Server: Enter your (POP) mail server name. You Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network administrator will be able to supply you with this. Period: Enter the value in minutes between periodic mail checks. Dial-out for checking Emails: When the function is enabled, your ADSL router will connect to your ISP automatically to check emails if your Internet connection dropped. Please be careful when using this feature if your ADSL service is charged by time online.
106 Device Management The Device Management advanced configuration setting allows you to control your router security option and device monitoring features. Device Host Name Host Name: Assign it a name. Note: The Host Name must have more than a word. These two words should be connected with a ‘.’ period inbetween. Example: Host Name: homegateway ==> Incorrect Host Name: home.gateway or my.home.gateway ==> Correct)
107 Embedded Web Server ( 2 Management IP Accounts) HTTP Port: This is the port number that the router embedded web server (for web-based configuration) will use. The default value is the standard HTTP port 80. Users may specify an alternative if, for example, they are running a web server on a PC within their LAN. Management IP Address: You may specify an IP address for logon and access the router web server. Setting the IP address to 0.0.0.0 will disable IP address restrictions, allowing users to login from any IP address. Expire to auto-logout: Specify a duration for the system to log the user out of the configuration session automatically. For Example: User A changes the HTTP port number to 100, specifies their own IP address as 192.168.1.55 and sets the logout time as 100 seconds. The router will only allow User A to access the Web GUI from the IP address 192.168.1.55 by typing http://192.168.1.254:100 in their web browser. Nevertheless, after 100 seconds the device will automatically log User A out of the system. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control and data transfer featuers between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users that run NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal and on supported systems. This makes tasks such as port forwarding become easier by letting the application control the required settings & remove the need for the user to control the advanced configuration of their device. Both operating system and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition to the router. Windows XP and Windows ME natively support UPnP (when the component is installed) while Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing client from Windows XP in order to gain support for UPnP. Nevertheless Windows 2000 does not support UPnP. Disable: Check to disable the router’s UPnP functionality. Enable: Check to enable the router’s UPnP functionality. UPnP Port: Its default setting is 2800. It is highly recommended for users to use this port value. If this value conflicts with other ports already being used, you may wish to change the port. SNMP Access Control (Software on a PC within the LAN is required in order to utilize this function) – Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP V1 and V2: Read Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Read Community and an IP address. This community string will be checked against the string entered in the configuration file. Once the string name is matched, user with this IP address will be able to view the data. Write Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Write Community and an IP address. This community string will be checked against the string entered in the configuration file. Once the string name is matched, users with this IP address will be able to view and modify the data. Trap Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Trap Community and an IP address. This community string will be checked against the string entered in the configuration file. Once the string name is matched, users with this IP address will be sent SNMP Traps. SNMP V3: Specify a name and password for authentication and define the access right from an identified IP address. Once the authentication has succeeded, users with this IP address will be able to view and modify the data.
108 SNMP Version: SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 SNMPv2c is the combination of the enhanced protocol features of SNMPv2 without the SNMPv2 security. The “c” comes from the fact that SNMPv2c uses the SNMPv1 community string paradigm for “security”, but is widely accepted as the SNMPv2 standard. SNMPv3 is a strong authentication mechanism, authorization with fine granularity for remote monitoring. Traps supported: Cold Start, Authentication Failure. The following MIBs are supported: From RFC 1213 (MIB-II)System group System group Interface group Address Translation group IP group ICMP Group TCP group UDP group EGP (not applicable) Transmission SNMP group From RFC 1650 (EtherLike-MIB) dot3stats From RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB) dot1 dBase group dot1 dTp group dot1 dStp group (if configured as span- ning tree) From RFC 1472 (PPP/Security MIB) PPP security group From RFC 1473 (PPP/IP MIB) PPP IP group From RFC 1474 (PPP/Bridge MIB) PPP Bridge group From RFC 1573 (IfMIB) ifMIBObjects group From RFC 1695 (atmMIB) atmMIBObjects From RFC 1907 (SNMPv2) only snmpSetSerialNo OID From RFC 1471 (PPP/LCP MIB) pppLink group pppLgr group (not applicable)

110 Logout To exit the router web interface, choose Logout. Please save your configuration setting before logging out of the system. Be aware that the router configuration interface can only be accessed by one PC at a time. Therefore when a PC has logged into the system interface, the other users cannot access the system interface until the current user has logged out of the system. If the previous user forgets to logout, the second PC can only access the router web interface after a user-defined auto logout period which is by default 3 minutes. You can however modify the value of the auto logout period using the Advanced > Device Management section of the router web interface. Please see the Advanced section of this manual for more information.
111 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting If your router is not functioning properly, please refer to the suggested solutions provided in this chapter. If your problems persist or the suggested solutions do not meet your needs, please kindly contact your service provider or Billion for support. Problems with the router Problem Suggested Action None of the LEDs lit when the router is turned on. You have forgotten your login username or password Check the connection between the router and the adapter. If the problem persists, most likely it is due to the malfunction of your hardware. Please contact your service provider or Billion for technical support. Try the default username & password (Please refer to Chapter 3). If this fails, restore your router to its default setting by pressing the reset button for more than 6 seconds. Problems with WAN interface Problem Suggested Action Initialization of PVC connection (line- sync)fail Frequent loss of ADSL linesync (disconnection) Make sure that the telephone cable is properly con- nected between the ADSL port and the wall jack. The ADSL LED on the front panel should lit. Check that your VPI, VCI, encapsulation type and type of multi- plexing settings are the same as those provided by your ISP. Reboot the router GE. If you still have prob- lem, you may need to verify these settings with your ISP. Make sure that all devices (e.g telephone, fax ma- chine, analogue modems) that are connected to the telephone line as your router have a line filter con- nected between them and the wall outlet (unless your are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician). Make sure that alll line filters are correctly installed as missing line filters or incorrect installation of line filters can cause ADSL connection problem, including frequent disconnec- tions.
112 Problem with LAN interface Problem Suggested Action Cannot PING any PC on LAN Check the Ethernet LEDs on the front panel. The LED should be on for the port that has a PC connected. If it does not lit, check to see if the cable between your router and the PC is properly connected. Make sure you have first unin- stalled your firewall program before troubleshooting. Verify that the IP address and the subnet mask are consis- tent for both the router and the workstations.
