recommend keeping the factory default setting (192.168.1.64).

Ending IP Address

This is the IP address at which the DHCP server stops assigning IP addresses.We

recommend keeping the factory default settings (192.168.1.254).

The beginning and ending IP addresses define the IP address range of the

Gateway. If the default values are left intact, the Gateway supplies a unique

IP address between 192.168.1.64 and 192.168.1.254 to each computer on

the network. Note that the first three groups of numbers of the addresses are

identical; this means they are on the same subnet.The IP address of the Gateway

must be on the same subnet as the IP address range it generates. For instance, if

the Gateway’s IP address is changed to 10.33.222.1, set the beginning IP address

to 10.33.222.2, and the ending IP address to 10.33.222.254.

Subnet Mask

Enter the IP address of the DHCP server’s subnet mask here.

Lease Time

This value represents the amount of time (in seconds) the DHCP server holds

onto a specific IP address.

4. Enable Public/Private IP Addressing.This feature is used in conjunction

with Multiple Static IP Addresses.When selected, the Gateway uses NAT

for private IP addressing for the LAN, allowing both public and private IP

addressing to be configured to the LAN simultaneously, while the DHCP

server is reserved for private IP addressing. All computers using public IP

addresses must have the public IP addresses statically assigned.

5. Select the DNS type. If static DNS address was selected, enter the primary

DNS address and, optionally, the secondary DNS address in the appropriate

text boxes.

6. Select Dialout on-demand (optional).To have the Gateway automatically

connect to the Internet whenever needed (when a Web browser is opened,

for example), activate“Dialout on-demand”by clicking in the appropriate

check box.When Dialout on-demand is activated, the user can also set the

Gateway to disconnect from the Internet after a certain amount of idle

time (no Internet activity).To do this, enter the number of idle time minutes

(minimum 2 minutes) before disconnection occurs in the text box before

“Minutes.”

7. Adjust MTU settings (optional). Enter the maximum transmission unit (MTU)

value (in bytes) in this text box.This value corresponds to the largest physical

packet size the network is allowed to transmit. Packets larger than this size

are divided into smaller packets. It is recommended to leave this value set at

the default (1492).

s Ensure the Gateway is properly installed, the LAN connections are correct,

and the power is on.

s Confirm the computer and Gateway are on the same network segment. If

unsure, let the computer get the IP address automatically by initiating the

DHCP function (see“DHCP Server”in chapter 3), then verify the computer

is using an IP address within the default range (192.168.1.2 through

198.168.1.254). If the computer is not using an IP address within the range, it

will not connect to the Gateway.

s Ensure the Subnet Mask address is set to 255.255.255.0 by clicking Status in

the“Main Menu”screen.

Cannot Connect to the Internet

s Ensure both ends of the power cord and all network cables are connected.

9.2 Frequently Asked Questions

This section includes a list of questions and answers concerning the Gateway.

9.2a General

I have run out of Ethernet ports on my Gateway. How do I add more computers?

Plugging in an Ethernet hub or switch expands the number of ports on the

Gateway. Run a standard Ethernet cable from the“Uplink”port of the new hub

or switch to an Ethernet port on the Gateway.

Which protocols does the Gateway support?

The internal LAN connections support multiple protocols (e.g.TCP/IP, NetBEUI,

IPX/SPX, and AppleTalk).The External WAN connection supports only TCP/IP.

Troubleshooting

9.2 Frequently Asked Questions

Which connection speeds does the Gateway support?

The LAN connections on the Gateway support 10/100 Mbps.The WAN

connection supports 8 Mbps, because of the physical restrictions placed on

broadband connections.The 802.11g wireless connection supports up to 54

Mbps connection speeds (depending on signal quality, environmental factors,

and physical distance).

Will my Xbox work with the Gateway?

Yes, the Gateway is compatible with the Xbox.You need to set a static IP on the

Xbox in the Xbox live network settings, and forward ports 3074 (both UDP and

TCP), 53 (both UDP and TCP), and 88 (UDP) if you run into DSL resolution errors.

Is the Gateway flash-upgradeable? How do I do it?

Yes, the firmware is upgradeable.You can find a link to the firmware site under

“Utilities”in the Web-based configurator.

Does the Gateway function as a DSL modem?

Yes, the Gateway has a built-in DSL Modem.

9.2b Wireless

Can I use an 802.11b wireless card to connect to the Gateway?

Yes, the Gateway can handle 802.11b cards or 802.11g cards. The 802.11g

standard is backward compatible with the 802.11b standard.The Gateway can

be setup to handle just“g”wireless cards, just“b”wireless cards, or both.

If I install several Gateways in different locations in my building, will they be able

to talk to each other? Will I be able to stay connected as I move between them?

The Gateway does not communicate with other access points, since it functions

as a single access point system. If you installed several Gateway devices and

were to move between coverage areas, your wireless device would have to

reconnect to a separate network.

Wireless DSL Gateway User Manual

10/16/08

Which wireless cards will work with the Gateway?

The Gateway connects with any wireless card supporting the 802.11g/802.11b

wireless standards.

Can my wireless signal pass through floors, walls, and glass?

The physical environment surrounding the Gateway can have a varying effect

on signal strength and quality. Generally, the more dense the object (a concrete

wall compared to a plaster wall, for example), the greater the interference.

Concrete or metal-reinforced structures will experience a higher degree of signal

loss than those made of wood, plaster, or glass.

I have an Apple computer that uses the Airport wireless device. Is this device

compatible with the Gateway?

Yes, the Apple Airport system complies with the 802.11b standards. If you be

use the WEP security feature, refer to the Apple Airport documentation for

information on the proper method to enter the WEP key for compatibility with

the Gateway’s hexadecimal WEP entry.

9.2c Network

I use my laptop at work and at home. Is there something special I need to do to

make it work in both places?

Yes. Reconfigure your network setting (Workgroup, Domain, Password, User

name, IP addressing or any other specific settings used by your company).You

may also use third party software like NetSwitcher to automatically switch

between different configurations.

What is the valid IP range I can use for my home network?

The valid IP range for the Gateway is 192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.254 by default.

Troubleshooting

9.2 Frequently Asked Questions

Enter.When the“Winipcfg”window appears, ensure your network device is

selected.

Windows NT, 2000, and XP - Select Start, Run and type“cmd.”Press Enter.

When the command screen appears, type“ipconfig”and press Enter.

I used DHCP to configure my network. Do I need to restart my computer to

refresh my IP address?

No. Follow these steps to refresh your IP address:

Windows 95, 98, 98SE, and Me - Select Start, Run, type“winipcfg,”and press

Enter. Ensure the Ethernet adapter is selected in the device box. Press Release_

all, then Renew_all.

Windows NT 4.0 and 2000 - Select Start, Run, type“cmd,”and press Enter. At

the DOS prompt, type“ipconfig /release,”then type“ipconfig /renew.”

Windows XP - Unplug the Ethernet cable or wireless card and plug it back in.

Can I run an application located on another computer over the network?

Yes, if the application is designed to run over a network.

Can I play games between computers on my network, or on the Internet?

Yes, if the games were designed for multi-player or LAN play. For specific

information about whether a game is capable of Internet or LAN play, refer to

the game documentation. Some games require ports to be forwarded to host or

join games over the Internet.

I have an FTP or Web server on my network. How can I make it available to users

on the Internet?

For a Web server, enable port forwarding for port 8088 to the IP address of the

server and set up the Web server to receive on that port, as well. (Configuring

the server to use a static IP address is recommended.)

For an FTP server, enable port forwarding for port 21 to the IP address of the

server. (Configuring the server to use a static IP address is recommended.)

9.2d Connections

How many computers can be connected through the Gateway?

The Gateway is capable of 254 connections, but it is recommended to have no

more than 45 connections. As you increase the number of connections, you

decrease the available speed for each computer.

Security

What is the default username for the Gateway?

The default username for the router is“admin”and the default password is

“password”(all lower case, no quotation marks).To activate the password to

protect the Gateway, change the default password. Remote management will

not be available on the Gateway until the default password is changed.

Does the Gateway function as a firewall?

Yes.The Gateway provides its security through the use of NAT firewall, which

acts as a physical barrier between your network and the Internet.

What is NAT and how does it protect my network?

NAT (Network Address Translation) is a type of security that masks the private

IP addresses of the computers on your network with a single public IP address.

With NAT, the private IP address of the computers on your network is never

transmitted over the Internet.

Which Virtual Private Networking (VPN) protocols are supported?

The Gateway supports pass-through for PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec.

Computer Security

C.1 Overview

The Internet is a giant network of computers located all over the world.When

a computer is connected to the Internet, it can exchange information with any

other computer on the Internet.This allows a computer user to send e-mail,

surf the World Wide Web, download files, and buy products and services online,

but it also makes the computer vulnerable to attack from persons intent on

doing malicious mischief, or worse. Unless access to the computer is controlled,

someone on the Internet can access the information on the computer and

damage or destroy that information.

We recommend securing your computer from unwanted intrusion. Security is

ultimately the end user’s responsibility. Please secure your computer, and don’t

be a victim.

C.2 Comparing DSL Service with a Dial-Up Modem

With a dial-up modem, a computer user makes an Internet connection by

dialing a telephone number, surfs the Internet for a period of time, and then

disconnects the dial-up modem. No one on the Internet can access a computer

that is not connected to the Internet.

Unlike a dial-up modem, DSL service is“always connected.”The connection

is always available – there is no need to dial a phone number to access the

Internet.The computer can be connected to the Internet all the time.

With both types of Internet connections, access to the computer must be

controlled to make sure someone on the Internet doesn’t access the information

on the computer.The longer the computer is connected to the Internet, the

easier it is for someone on the Internet to find the computer and attempt to

access it without permission. DSL service also provides fast Internet connections.

This not only improves Internet performance, it also improves Internet

performance for anyone attempting to access the computer.

Wireless DSL Gateway User Manual

10/16/08

C.3 Gateway Security

If connecting to the ISP through Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), be sure to provide

the Gateway an administrative password. If a password is not set, someone on

the Internet can access the Gateway and change its configuration or steal your

PPP login name and password. For instructions on setting the password, see the

“Advanced Setup chapter.

If connecting to the ISP through bridging mode, the Gateway should be safe

from unwarranted and illegal intrusion.

C.4 Computer Security

To protect the valuable information on the computer, review the following

topics.These topics cover software programs and operating system features

affecting the security of the computer’s data.

C.4a Anti-Virus Programs

The computer should have an anti-virus program, and the virus definitions

should be updated on a regular basis – at least once a month.

C.4b E-Mail Attachments

Never run a program received as an attachment to an e-mail message unless the

program is known to be safe. A program from an unknown source can delete all

the files on the computer’s hard disk or install a“backdoor”software application

that lets people on the Internet gain access to the computer without permission.

C.4c Internet Browsers

Always exit the Internet browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, for

example). Never“minimize”the browser or leave it open in the background.

Breaking into a computer is easier when an Internet browser is running.

127

Computer Security

C.5 Electronic Security

C.4d Network Applications

Network applications (such as software programs) that allow remote access

to the computer also make the computer vulnerable to access from other

people on the Internet. If using a network application that allows remote access,

consider installing a firewall.

C.5 Electronic Security

The following are two methods to secure your computer electronically.

C.5a Network Address Translation

If a local area network and a PPP connection to the ISP using dynamic IP

addresses through a DHCP server are being used, Network Address Translation

(NAT) is being used. NAT provides a very basic level of security.

C.5b Firewalls

The safest way to prevent attacks on the computer is through a firewall – a

hardware device or software program that protects the computer from

unauthorized access by controlling who can access your computer and by

monitoring the transmissions between the computer and the Internet

Windows XP has a built-in firewall. For more information, select Help and

Support Center from the Help menu. Search for“Internet Connection Firewall.”

If Windows 98 SE, Me, NT 4.0, or 2000 is running on the computer, consider

installing a firewall. Hardware and software firewall products are changing

rapidly as more homes and businesses establish high-speed digital connections

between their

Glossary

E.1 Glossary

Access Point

A device that allows wireless clients to connect to one another. An access point

can also act as a bridge between wireless clients and a“wired”network, such

as an Ethernet network.Wireless clients can be moved anywhere within the

coverage area of the access point and remain connected to the network. If

connected to an Ethernet network, the access point monitors Ethernet traffic

and forwards appropriate Ethernet messages to the wireless network, while

also monitoring wireless traffic and forwarding wireless client messages to the

Ethernet network.

ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)

A networking technology based on transferring data in fixed-size packets

Client

A desktop or mobile computer connected to a network.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

A protocol designed to automatically assign an IP address to every computer on

your network.

DNS (Domain Name System) Server Address

Allows Internet host computers to have a domain name and one or more

IP addresses. A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their

respective domain names and IP addresses so that when a user enters a domain

name into a Web browser, the user is sent to the proper IP address.The DNS

server address used by computers on the home network corresponds to the

location of the DNS server the ISP has assigned.

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) Modem

A modem that uses existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.

A unique identifier for a wireless network. Also known as“SSID.”

Ethernet Network

A standard wired networking configuration using cables and hubs.

Firewall

A method preventing users outside the network from accessing and/or

damaging files or computers on the network.

Gateway

A central device that manages the data traffic of your network, as well as data

traffic to and from the Internet.

IP (Internet Protocol) Address

A series of four numbers separated by periods identifying a unique Internet

computer host.

ISP Gateway Address

An IP address for the Internet router.This address is only required when using a

cable or DSL modem.

ISP (Internet Service Provider)

A business that allows individuals or businesses to connect to the Internet.

LAN (Local Area Network)

A group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area

(such as a house or an office). A home network is considered a LAN.

MAC (Media Access Control) Address

The hardware address of a device connected to a network.

NAT (Network Address Translation)

A method allowing all of the computers on a home network to use one IP

address, enabling access to the Internet from any computer on the home

network without having to purchase more IP addresses from the ISP.

PC Card

An adapter that inserts in the PCMCIA slot of a computer, enabling the

communication with a device.

PPPoE (Point-To-Point Protocol over Ethernet)/

PPPoA (Point-To-Point Protocol over ATM)

Methods of secure data transmission.

Router

A central device that manages the data traffic of your network.

Subnet Mask

A set of four numbers configured like an IP address used to create IP address

numbers used only within a particular network.
