and decrypted via the pre-defined dedicated tunnel. This prevents any

hackers from stealing private information in the public network. With this

functionality, any sub-network can be grouped as though they are in the same

network.

Firewall

The SOHO Server provides a powerful firewall capable of preventing

hackers from attacking the gateway or internal network. Many famous DoS

attacks can be detected and prevented. Whenever an attack is detected, the

system will alert the network manager that an attack has occurred. The

network manager can then inspect the log information to find the IP address

that sent the packets.

Easy Installation

In order to facilitate the use of the SOHO Server , the product comes with

default settings that most network managers can install it without any

modification. If the network manager needs to modify any of the settings, the

SOHO Server provides an intuitive Web-based user interface.

Network Attached Storage

Network-attached storage (NAS) is the concept of shared storage on a

network. NAS transfers data using industry standard file sharing protocols

such as CIFS, AFP, NFS and FTP. Files can be shared simultaneously by

clients regardless of the operating system they are using or the network

server they are attached to. This solution provides convenient common

storage resources.

Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS allows anyone wishing to reach your host by the name only.

Dynamic DNS will map that name to your current IP address, which changes

each time you dial your Internet service provider. With a URL that stays the

same all the time regardless of IP address your options become almost as

unlimited as a normal content provider like www.indiatimes.com or

www.yahoo.com.

USB Print Server

USB Print Server allows any computer in the network to share an USB printer.

It complies with USB 2.0 specifications. And the users can print from any

computer over a LAN.

Personal Web Server

The Personal Web Server enables users to host an information type website

from their appliance. Create your website and place it on the appliance for the

world to see. Use it in combination with our built-in DDNS client and anyone

with a broadband connection can have their very own website.

Personal POP E-mail Server

The Personal POP E-mail Server provides users the ability to run a personal

private e-mail server. Send e-mail you’re your registered domain name or just

create a DDNS account and have your personalized e-mail address.

FTP Server

FTP is the most secure, fastest, reliable method of transferring files. The FTP

server allows you full control over who can login to the SOHO Server , which

files the user can access or they could upload data.

Power Management

We divide the power management function into three parts. These are Power

Down and Hard Disk Standby.

We’ll describe each part in detail below.

- Power Down

We turn the power down in several ways:

Domain Name Server

„

Most of the time this information is not needed, as your ISP will

automatically provide the information.

„

Please ask the DNS IP address from your ISP if one is required.

External Network Interface

External network interface includes ADSL/PPPoE , DHCP Client and Fixed

IP Address settings. Make sure that the system information webpage shows

that your Link status is ‘Link Up’. If not, please check your connection and/or

switch the MDX switch located next to your WAN port. We have to choose

one of the three ways to configure the external network interface. They are

illustrated as follows:

Example 1: If you are connecting through a fixed IP address from the ISP.

Example 2: If you are connecting through a dynamic IP address from ISP.

Example 3: If you usually enter a username and password to access the

Internet.

Example 1: Fixed IP Address Settings

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

If you have a fixed IP address from your ISP to access the Internet, please

follow the steps below:

1. Select the Fixed IP Address radio button.

2. Enter the Public IP address.

3. Enter the External Gateway.

4. Enter the External Netmask.

5. Click the apply button.

Example 2: DHCP Client / Cable Modem

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

If you have a dynamic IP address from your ISP to access the Internet,

please select the DHCP Client radio button. Once the external IP address is

obtained via the DHCP protocol, there is no need to give an external IP

address, external gateway address or netmask. The DHCP server will

dynamically assign these fields. In general, you should choose this option if

you are connecting the SOHO Server to a cable modem. Note: Cable

modem users MUST disconnect the cable modem from the wall outlet for at

least 2 minutes before turning it on again. Some cable modem connections

need you to provide specific hardware address. For the case, you should fill

your hardware address that you get from your ISP provider in Hardware

Address field to override the original hardware address. However, it does not

update the original hardware address stored in EEPROM. If you would not

like to override the hardware address, you should set each field of the

Hardware Address to zero “00”.

Example 3: ADSL Connection

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Most ADSL connections do not give you a fixed IP address. In this case, you

must enter the user name and password provided by your ISP for

authentication. Please follow the steps below.

1. Please select the ADSL/PPPoE radio button.

2. In ADSL/PPPoE Setting: Enter the User Name and Password.

3. Click the apply button to save your settings.

After completing your configuration, each time the SA boots, it will try to

connect with your ISP and the ISP will assign the SOHO Server an

external IP address. Once successfully connected, the Status field should

reflect this. If the Status is still the same, check to make sure that the

username, password, cables, etc. are all correct.

Example 4: ADSL/PPTP Client Setting

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

If your ISP provides a PPTP server, you could set up the PPTP client here.

Please follow the steps:

1. Select ADSL/PPTP radio button.

2. Enter the user name. (You get this from your ISP)

3. Enter the password. (You get this from your ISP)

4. Enter the IP address of your host in My IP Address.

5. Enter the IP address of the server in Server IP Address.

In the following chapters, we will cover more details of configuring the SA.

Configuration Hierarchy

This chapter gives you an overview of all the configuration options available.

The SOHO Server is a multifunction product. The section3.1 explains the

corresponding settings for each function. And in section3.2, we describe the

power management in detail.

There are eight main categories in configuration menu, Basic settings,

Network settings, Firewall settings, VPN settings, System management,

System reports, User management and NAS management. Each item

has advanced configurations. See Figure 3.1.

Network Settings

When you select Network Settings in the left menu of the web page, five

configuration options appear: DHCP Server, IP Alias, Multiple NAT, Route

Settings and DDNS. Please refer to the corresponding section for these

configurations.

DHCP Server

In DHCP Server settings, we assign the rage of the virtual IP addresses for

the four LAN ports of SA. All devices connect to the LAN ports of SA will be

dynamically assigned the IP addresses within the range. If you wish to mix

dynamic and static IP clients on your network:

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Under DHCP server settings, the SA defaults to assigning IPs 172.16.1.2

through 172.16.1.250...So depending on how many fixed IP devices they

have, they can assign their device to an IP of 172.16.1.251 (through 254) as

these IPs will not be handed out by the SA. If they have more devices or want

a different IP range, then all they need to do is modify the range that the SA

hands out so it does not hand out an IP in that range. Typical offices set their

DHCP server to assign IPs from 30 through 200. IPs 1 through 29 are usually

assigned to servers and 201 and above are reserved for special uses.

You can either enable the DHCP server or disable it in this screen also.

„

To Enable the DHCP Server

If you do not have a DHCP server on your network,

1. Select the Enable radio button.(already enabled by default).

2. Enter a number in Lease time field.

3. Enter the IP address range1 as “192.168.0.2” and “192.168.0.250”

(default).

4. Enter the IP address range2, otherwise enter “0” in each field.

5. Enter the IP address range3, otherwise enter “0” in each field.

6. Enter the IP address range4, otherwise enter “0” in each field.

7. Click the apply button.

When DHCP server is enabled, it will allow DHCP clients to obtain their

network configuration from the unit. In the figure above, the IP address range

of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.250 is dynamically assigned to individual DHCP

clients. The DHCP client may be assigned an IP address like “192.168.0.10”.

The IP address “192.168.0.1” cannot be assigned as it is not in the range and

is also assigned to SA under Basic Settings. If you assign another network

(e.g. 192.168.1.x) to IP address ranges 2, 3, 4, please refer to section 4.2 for

further IP Alias setting. When no other IP address ranges are assigned, a

zero value should be filled in to indicate that no other IP addresses are

available for assignment.

„

To Disable the DHCP Server

If you already have a DHCP server on your network,

1. Select Disable radio button

2. Click the apply button.

Or you do not have DHCP server on your network, but you would like

to assign a static IP address to each device connected to the LAN

port of SA.

1. Select Disable radio button.

2. Assign a static IP address to each device connected to the LAN port.

For example, you have four PCs, PC1, PC2, PC3 and PC4 connected to

the LAN port. You have to assign a UNIQUE static IP address i.e.

“192.168.0.34”, “192.168.0.25”, “192.168.0.18”, “192.168.0.108” to PC1,

PC2, PC3 and PC4 respectively. Note: The static IP addresses

assigned are all in the same subnet with SA. In Basic Settings, we set

“192.168.0.1” as private IP address of SA with a 255.255.255.0 subnet.

Therefore, the networked PCs need to belong to “192.168.0.x”.

IP Alias

In Basic Settings, we’ve set the private IP address of SA as “192.168.0.1”.

We will assign the LAN ports of SA to the network of “192.168.0.x”. In DHCP

server settings, we’ve set the IP addresses of the LAN as “192.168.0.x”.

“192.168.0.x” includes “192.168.0.x”, and therefore is considered to be in the

same network. There is no problem if the network interface contains only one

IP address range, but if you want to assign another IP addresses like

“192.168.1.x” to the LAN, then there is an issue. “192.168.1.x” and

“192.168.0.x” are not in the same network. We need IP Aliasing to resolve

this issue. IP alias allows one network interface to contain more than one

network. It allows the additional network “192.168.1.x” to be recognized by

the SA.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Please follow the steps to add another network:

1. Enter “192.168.1.1” in IP Alias 1.

2. Enter “255.255.255.0” in Netmask of IP Alias 1.

3. Click the apply button.

Note that the IP Alias 1, 192.168.1.1 is assigned to SA and the network is

“192.168.1.x”.

For additional IP addresses of the internal network interface to be accepted,

enter the other IP address in IP Alias 2 and IP Alias 3. Enter “0” in each field if

none.

Multiple NAT

If you get several fixed IP addresses from your ISP and the ISP restricts the

bandwidth for each fixed IP address, you have to prevent the network

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

packets from always sending on the same IP address and the other IP

address to sit idle. Multiple NAT solves this and allows you to increase the

bandwidth. Multiple NAT allows you to dispatch your network packets evenly

to these IP addresses provided by ISP.

1. Enter the Internal IP range1, e.g. “172.16.1.1/24”. It means the

network is “172.16.1.x”

2. Enter the External IP range1, the IP address range you get from

your ISP.

3. Enter the Internal IP range2, e.g. “192.168.1.1/24”. It means the

network is “192.168.1.x”.

4. Enter the External IP range2, the IP address range you get from

your ISP.

5. Or enter “0” in each field for non-setting multiple NAT.

6. Click the apply button.

After you configure the Multiple NAT on the group of fixed IP addresses, it

can increase the bandwidth. The Internal IP range you entered will be routed

to the corresponding External IP range.

Route Settings

The Route Settings page gives you a way to set the static route. You have to

set the static route if you would like to route your packets to the specific

network and the router of the destination network does not support RIP

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

(Routing Information Protocol). If the router supports RIP, it will automatically

exchange routing information with SA and it is not necessary to set a static

route. Please refer the steps and figures to set a static route.

1. Select Enable radio button in Routing Setup.

2. Enter the network in Destination network column. (e.g.

“192.168.6.0/24”)

3. Enter IP address of the gateway in Gateway column. (e.g.

“172.16.1.249”)

4. Enter the number in Hop count column. The number means how

many gateways you have to pass through.

5. Click the apply button.

In the figures, the destination network is “192.168.6.x”. And the packets will

be route in or out of the destination network through the gateway

“172.16.1.249”.

DDNS

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you at least one IP address to

use when connecting to the Internet. The address you as assigned may be

static, meaning it never changes, or more than likely dynamic, meaning it’s

likely to change periodically. How often it changes depends on your ISP. A

dynamic IP address complicates remote access since you may not know your

current WAN IP address when you want to access your network over the

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Internet. DDNS provides a simple, and in most cases free, solution.

The Internet uses DNS servers to lookup domain names and translates then

into IP addresses. Domain names, such as www.yahoo.com, are just easy to

remember aliases for IP addresses. A dynamic DNS service provides a

means of updating your IP address so that you listing will be current when

your IP address changes. There are several services on the Internet that are

available for free. We will only cover one, www.dyndns.org. You will need to

provide for you.

The DDNS service in our device works by uploading your new WAN IP

address to the servers when it changes. You would only need to enter the

account information in the DDNS setup page of your unit.

How to setup a DynDNS DDNS account:

1. Access the DynDNS homepage ( www.dyndns.org ).

2. If you have not registered, click ‘Sign Up Now’ to create a new

account.

3. Follow the instructions to create a free DDNS account. Requires only

e-mail address.

4. Log into your account by providing a username and password.

5. Select ‘Services’ from the top menu.

6. Select ‘Dynamic DNS’ from the choice of services.

7. Select ‘Add A Host’ from the ‘Your Hosts’ section. Follow the

instructions.

8. Note your hostname so you can input it in the DDNS configuration for

your device.

You can setup additional host names for additional devices.

Please follow the steps below to setup DDNS on your SA.

1. Select Enable radio button in DDNS Client Service field.

2. Select the DDNS service provider.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

3. Enter the User name. The user name you log in DDNS service.

4. Enter the password. The password you log in DDNS service.

5. Enter the Host name. The host name you register in DDNS

service.

6. Click the apply button.

Every time your public IP changes, the SA will tell the DDNS server what your

new IP address is. Other users, through the magic of DDNS, will be sent to

the right place.

Firewall Settings

When you select the Firewall Settings item in left menu of the web page, four

configuration items appear including: Virtual Server settings, URL Filter, IP

Filter setup and Denial of Service. Please refer the corresponding section for

each of these items.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Virtual Server Settings

The virtual server service is a way to simulate multiple servers on the intranet.

You have several IP addresses within your LAN. These IPs are not visible to

the users from the Internet. When servers are installed in the office that need

to be seen from the Internet, we establish some forwarding rules to deal with

the packet from the Internet users and direct the SA to forward the specific

packets to the specific IP address. Users from the Internet could be allowed

to access the specific server on your LAN. You can configure different IPs to

act as different virtual servers. For example, the users accessing port 21 will

be directed to “172.16.2.1”. “172.16.2.1” could be a FTP server. Users

accessing port 80 will be directed to “172.16.2.2”, an HTTP server on the

LAN. For users outside the LAN, they will feel like many services are running

on a single host. Please follow the steps below.

1. Select Enable radio button in Virtual Server.

2. Enter the IP address , in LAN will be set as a virtual server.

3. Select the Protocol.

4. Enter the number in Ports, the users accessing the port will be

directed to the virtual server in step 2.

5. Please repeat the steps above to establish more virtual servers

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

or enter “0” in each field for none.

6. Click the apply button.

URL Filter Setup

The URL Filter function is used to restrict internal hosts from accessing

specific URL locations. You deny any access to the URL location specified in

the Site1, Site2 …Site10 fields.

Please follow the steps:

1. Select Enable radio button in URL Filter.

2. In Site 1, please enter the URL address.

3. Please repeat the step 2 to build more URL addresses not

allowed.

4. Click the apply button.

If the Site1 is given as www.yahoo.com, any hosts in the intranet will not be

allowed to connect to www.yahoo.com. If you do not restrict any access from

intranet to Internet, please select the Disable radio button in the URL Filter.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

IP Filter Setup

The IP filter function is similar to URL Filter. It provides further restrictions in

access permission. URL Filtering only blocks port number 80 (HTTP). In IP

filtering, you can assign a group of IP to be restricted. You can block four

individual ports or a range of ports in the same time. So the specific group of

intranet hosts cannot connect to these ports. Please follow the steps:

1. Select Enable radio button in IP Filter.

2. Enter the IP address range in the format “x. x. x. x / x”(e.g.

“192.168.1.0/24”, you would like to restrict the IP group)

3. Select the Protocol.

4. Enter the port number in Blocked Ports No. There are four

fields you can enter in any order or combination. You can enter

one, two, etc.

5. Enter the range of port numbers (if any) in Blocked Port Range.

In the example, if any hosts that requests information from 192.168.1.1 to

192.168.1.254 in the intranet with port number 21, 23 or from 100 to 1024

with TCP protocol, will be blocked.

Denial of Service

It is highly recommended that the DoS Protection feature be enabled to

prevent attacks on the network. However, if you allow someone to manage

the router from outside or are running a web server, e-mail server, or FTP

server, you should either disable Detect SYN Flood Attack or increase the

TCP flow. Otherwise, the configuration web pages will not be sent smoothly.

VPN Settings

VPNs (Virtual Private Networking) provide secure communication between

two separate networks without using a dedicated leased line. In order to

achieve this functionality, a secure tunnel must be built between the two sites

for secure communication over the Internet. The SA supports the most

popular protocol - PPTP.

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol),

described in RFC 2637 is a PPP-specific protocol proposed by Microsoft. The

SA implements a PPTP server. The remote user can connect to the PPTP

server and access a local host behind the PPTP server. When you select the

VPN item in left menu of the web page, PPTP configuration options will

appear. Please refer to the corresponding section for these configurations.

PPTP Settings

For most companies, the PPTP server creates a secure connection that a

remote user can access a host within the company. The remote user has to

run a PPTP client and connect to the PPTP server. The PPTP server has to

validate the remote user as being in the User List in section 9.1. The server

certifies the PPTP client with a username and password. After passing the

certification, the server will assign a private IP address to the client. The

remote user will be treated like a member of the LAN and can access the

local hosts inside the company. Please refer to Appendix A for more details

about configuring a PPTP VPN connection. To run the PPTP server on the

company side, please follow the steps below:

1. In PPTP Settings page: Select the Enable button in PPTP Server field.

(Figure 6.1)

2. Enter the private IP address of the server in Server IP Address field.

3. Enter the Client IP Range. The server will assign the IP to each client

within the range.

4. Click the apply button.

User Management

The NAS provides a client/server

environment for users to share

files over the network. File sharing works by authorizing the users or groups

to access shared folders by their username and password. When creating a

new shared folder, user and groups from the current list must be assigned.

When a user/group tries to access the folder, the system will check the list of

valid users for the shared folder. If the user/group is included in the list, the

user/group then has permission to access the shared folder.

File Sharing

For file sharing, you must create users and groups first. Use this to organize

the data on the NAS. You can create private and public folders. By managing

which users have

access to the shares,

users can only access

information that they are

allowed to. This access

is the same whether they

are accessing the share

from the local network or

through the Internet via FTP.

FTP Server

If you want to access files stored on your NAS from a remote location, the

included FTP server is the easiest way. Here is a typical setup:

Connection Diagram:

Work PC<-->Internet<-->DSL/Modem<-->Router<-->NAS

To access files from the NAS from a remote location, a static IP and/or a DNS

name is required. You can also setup a DDNS account if you are using a

dynamic IP (your DSL IP changes all the time). See Dynamic Domain Name

Server for additional information and help in setting up this service. Your

router must have this feature or you may have to run a client software on a

PC that is running on the network. You must set your router to forward port

21 to your NAS’s fixed IP address. Refer to the DDNS and port

forwarding/virtual server chapter of your router manual for details.

Enable the FTP server on the NAS.

You can change the default FTP port in the same configuration screen. This

is useful for making you FTP server less visible to users whom you do not

want to grant access. Some networks also block the standard port 21 and

may require you to change to a different port. Note: If you change the default

port 21, you will need to enter the port number every time you access the

FTP server.

Make sure to have users and passwords assigned to all your shared folders.

If you want to allow anyone access, just assign the 'guest' account to that

folder. FTP users can then log on with and anonymous account to that folder.

Note: Users will be able see the names of all the other shared folders, but will

not be able to access them without a username and password. To completely

disable anonymous access (must have user account on NAS to see folders),

make sure you do not have the ‘guest’ account assigned to any shared folder.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Now from the remote location, type into a browser (or FTP application)

ftp://<DDNS Name> and it will take you to your NAS unit. If you cannot see

anything on your browser, make sure you have the 'View FTP Folders' option

turned on in your browser settings. You may also have to go into 'File->Login

As'. Use a valid user name and password for the NAS.

Personal Web Server

The Web Server settings are currently under 'Nas Management->Web Server'.

Getting started

Enable the web server by selecting the ‘Enable’ radio button. It will then create

a shared folder called 'www'. Set the server port number to '80' if you want all

default HTTP calls to go to your website. When you type in a URL address in a

browser, the Internet automatically directs your browser to port 80 at that

address. This is the industry standard and should be used 99% of the time. If

you want to hide or make your site available only to people who know your port

number, then you can assign it a different port. For example, if you were to

assign port 77 instead of 80, users would have to type in their browser

www.mywebsite.com:77 to see the website. You do not normally use ‘:80’

because that’s the assumed default in the industry.

Uploading your web page(s)

All web pages for your website will be stored in the ‘www’ shared folder. You

can copy the folders and files of your website into that directory via the

network neighborhood, mapped drive, or FTP if you have enabled that

function. Make sure that you have allowed the user uploading the files to

have read/write access under ‘File Sharing’. By default, anyone (anonymous)

can have access to the ‘www’ shared folder as the guest account is assigned

to that share.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Web page design

You must have an 'index.html' file as that is what the web server will look for

as the first page of your website. You are free to make folders under the ‘www’

directory to help organize your website. All references to those directories can

be called on from any page. You can use many popular web page design

programs to make your website and then copy the finished product (all

associated images, files and folders also) to the ‘www’ shared folder.

Accessing the website

Users with a static WAN IP address can access the website simply by typing

in the IP address on any browser. If you are on the inside of the network, you

must use the WAN IP address to access the website, not the internal

appliance IP address. If you have a domain name, then you can have the

domain name company forward the domain to this static IP address. With a

domain name, you do not have to remember the IP address, just the domain

name.

If you have a dynamic IP, you can setup a DDNS account and enable the

DDNS feature of your appliance to make your website accessible without

having to find out the current IP address. Refer to the DDNS Chapter for

more information.

Important Note:

The ‘www’ share defaults to allow ‘guest’ users to have access. Please go

into NAS Management -> File Sharing, add a valid user and remove ‘guest’ if

you do not wish everyone to be able to modify you web pages.

E-mail Server

The E-mail Server settings are located under Nas Management->E-mail

Server.

Getting started

In order to use the e-mail server, you must have a domain name or have

registered with a DDNS service provider. E-mail requires a domain name and

will not work with just an IP address. Enable the e-mail server by selecting the

‘Enable’ radio button. Enter your domain name in ‘Mail Domain Name’. For

example, myhomedomain.com is a valid name. Do not enter the ‘www’

usually associated with domain names. If you have a DDNS name, for

example, myname.dyndns.org, you can enter it here in as shown also. You

should limit the maximum size a mailbox under the quota field and the size of

each e-mail in the following field. Default settings are ‘0’ for unlimited.

E-mail names

After applying the settings, your e-mail accounts are now active. They are

based on your user names that are created under user management. For

example, if ‘teacher’ is a user on the appliance, and ‘school.com’ is the

domain name, the e-mail address for ‘teacher’ is now ‘teacher@school.com’.

DDNS e-mail addresses work in a similar manner. For example, if ‘teacher’ is

the user on the appliance and the domain name (DDNS) is

‘school.dyndns.org’, then the e-mail address would then be

‘teacher@school.dyndns.org’.

Sending and receiving e-mail

You can use any POP e-mail type program to retrieve and send your e-mails.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Windows includes MS Outlook Express as a standard application. Start

Outlook. Under Tools->Mail, you want to ADD a mail account. Enter a display

name, the formal name you want your e-mails to appear to come from

(Usually your full name). In the e-mail address field, enter your new e-mail

address. From the above example, we would enter ‘teacher@school.com’ or

‘teacher@school.dyndns.org’. Under ‘Incoming mail server’ and ‘Outgoing

mail server’, enter your domain name. In the above examples, it would either

be ‘school.com’ or ‘school.dyndns.org’. Both fields should be the same. Lastly,

enter the Account name and password. This name is the same one as on

your appliance. In this case, user name is ‘teacher’ and password is: ****.

Click on the ‘Finish’ and you are ready to send and receive e-mail!

NOTE:

Passwords are highly suggested for all e-mail account users to protect your

e-mails and to prevent people from unauthorized use of your e-mail server.

Windows USB Printer Server

Standard USB 1.1 and 2.0 printers can easily be shared between Windows

Appendix A

PPTP VPN (W2K and XP only)

Important:

Make sure that the subnet of your Appliance is different the network you are

trying to connect from. For example: User’s office IP addresses are

192.168.1.x, set your Appliance to 192.168.2.1 Netmask 255.255.255.0.

Make sure that you have created a user account and password on the

Appliance for the users that you want to allow VPN access.

Proceed to your appliance’s PPTP Settings under VPN Settings.

1. Enable the Server

2. Enter a server IP, a number from 2-254 that is not being used by any

computer on the Appliance network. Usually 200 is a safe number.

3. Enter a range of IP addresses that users logging into the Appliance will

be assigned. Usually 201-210 is ok. Again make sure that there are no

computers on the Appliance network using the IP addresses in this

range.

4. Select Apply.

From the remote computer:

1. From the start menu: Select Settings -> Network and Dial-up

Connections -> Make a new connection.

2. Click Next on the wizard and select Connect to a private network

through the internet. Click on Next.

3. Select Do not dial…..Click Next

4. Enter the host name. This should be a static IP if you have one. If not,

then set up a DDNS account before continuing. This is where the

Appliance can be found on the Internet. Click Next.

5. Select if you want to create this connection for all users on your

remote network or just for the one computer. Click Next.

6. Name your connection and select if you want to have an icon on your

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

desktop. Click Finish when done.

7. Use the user name and password on your Appliance to log in. You

should be able to see the Appliance in your network neighborhood

now. You must initiate the VPN connection each time unless you

selected otherwise.

TIPS: If all you need is file transfer, we suggest using the FTP server feature,

as it is faster and simpler. If you must use the PPTP VPN feature, then you

can also disable the encryption under Properties -> Security to increase the

performance.

Pinging

You can test your network connection in various situations with this very

simple method.

From a command

prompt, type in: ping
