3800HGV-B Overview  
The 3800HGV-B is a residential gateway used to connect to the Lightspeed network. It has many of the  
features of an advanced broadband router as well as some additional features. Following are some of the  
major features of the 2Wire gateway.  
Advanced modem technology. 2Wires modem technology features enhanced bridge tap, long loop, and  
disturber performance.  
Super-fast router. The 2Wire gateways router provides the fastest data transfer speeds available between  
the network and the Internet. The high-performance router distributes data seamlessly to all of the  
computers on the network, without a dramatic loss of performance or speed.  
Professional-grade firewall. The 2Wire gateway firewall includes both standard NAT/PAT security and  
Stateful Packet Inspection to defend against Denial of Service Internet attacks.  
Flexible networking. The 2Wire gateway includes a variety of home networking technologies in one box:  
1
Ethernet, direct USB, HyperG wireless, and MoCA.  
Figure 1. 3800HGV-B, Rear View  
Note: The Phones Lines 1&2/Aux Line ports are reserved for connecting to VoIP service, and are  
not currently active.  
Ethernet. Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) technology that transmits information between computers  
at speeds of 10 or 100 Mbps. The 3700HGV-B has 4 Ethernet ports for directly connecting computers or  
devices. If the home or office is wired for Ethernet, use the Ethernet interface(s) on the gateway to create a  
broadband network.  
USB. The 2Wire gateways USB 1.1 port allows users to directly connect a computer or other network-ready  
device.

Networking Technology Overview  
Wireless. The 2Wire gateway includes an integrated wireless access point, which allows users to roam  
wirelessly throughout the home or office. 2Wire's high-powered wireless technology virtually eliminates  
wireless “coldspots” in the home. The 2Wire gateways high power 400mW transmitter ensures that users  
benefit from increased wireless bandwidth throughout the coverage area. In addition, the 2Wire gateway  
employs a special triple antenna design. The third antenna is used only for transmitting packets, thus  
mitigating the power loss associated with switching the antenna use back and forth between transmit and  
receive. This results in greater access point sensitivity, as antenna placement can be better optimized with  
a dedicated set of receive-only antennas.  
MoCA. MoCA technology allows users to easily share digital entertainment throughout the home using the  
existing coax cable infrastructure to distribute content such as video (SDTV and HDTV), music, games, and  
images. MoCA provides the following benefits:  
Multi-room HDTV DVR. Allows users to record and share digital videos simultaneously in every room.  
Multi-room gaming. Allows users to access games from various locations in the home and play  
simultaneously.  
PC to TV. Allows users to merge data and video-centric networks throughout the home.  
802.1X Authentication. 802.1X Authentication provides port-based authentication using certificates.  
These certificates reside in the RADIUS authentication server and the 3700HGV-B gateway, and are signed  
by a Certificate Authority (CA). When the RADIUS server and the gateway successfully exchange certificates,  
access to the network is allowed.  
Prior to authentication, only limited security traffic (Layer 1 and Layer 2) is allowed on ports. After  
authentication, ports open up for all other traffic (such as DHCP, IP, or Layer 3 and above).  
The VDSL DSLAM is the authenticator between the 3700HGV-B and the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server  
provides authentication and authorization for the 3700HGV-B, and decides if the VDSLAM will open the port  
for upper layer traffic. The 3700HGV-B and RADIUS server will exchange certificates to provide mutual  
authentication. They will ensure that the certificate was issued from a trusted CA and that the certificates  
are valid, and other related information.  
If the VDSL DSLAM port is not configured for 802.1X, the 3700HGV-B attempts to authenticate 3 times. If it  
cannot authenticate, it bypasses 802.1X authentication. This does not mean that the 3700HGV-B will be  
allowed on the network, just that it does not attempt the authentication again until power cycled or the  
network requests it.

Non-2Wire Wireless Adapter Configuration  
Locating the Serial Number and Wireless  
Encryption Key  
A portion of the serial number of your  
3700HGV-B is used as the network name  
(SSID). Beneath the serial number is a ten-  
digit number which is used as the encryption  
key. These are located on the bottom of your  
3700HGV-B (shown in vertical orientation).  
You will need this information to configure  
your wireless adapter.  
Configuring the Adapter  
1. Install and configure your wireless  
adapter according to the manufacturers  
instructions.  
2. Use the network adapter configuration  
software or Windows network connection  
wizard to set the network name (SSID)  
and encryption key (WPA).  
a.The network name is the word “2WIRE”  
(in all capital letters), followed by the  
last three digits of the gateway serial  
number (for example, 2WIRE110).  
b. The encryption key is a 64-bit hex value, located beneath the bar code on the bottom of the  
2Wire gateway. In the example, it is 4119627022.  
c. For Mac OS X users, you may need to enter the “$” character at the beginning of the  
encryption key (for example, $4119627022).  
Note: The above instructions are for users configuring their adapter with WPA. If the users

The Home Network Summary page displays information about the devices installed on your network.  
Local Devices  
The Local Devices panel shows you the name of the device, how it is connected, any special configuration  
information, and provides links to other system features that you can set up for the device. A “device” on  
your network is usually a computer — either a personal computer used by a household member, or a  
computer that is dedicated to a specific use (such as a Web server that hosts online games). The status of  
each device is shown in the Local Devices list.  
Each device on your home network is represented with a computer icon. If the “show inactive devices”  
option is enabled, and the device becomes inactive because it is powered off or removed from your  
network, this icon will display as Inactive.  
If you defined a name for your computer during System Setup or when your computer was set up, the name  
displays next to the device. However, there are two instances where the device name will not appear:  
If your computer was manually configured with a static IP address, the static IP address displays  
instead of the computers name.  
If you have not named the device but it still obtains its Internet address from the system, the word  
“Unknown” displays.  
If you have configured the firewall to allow information from the Internet to pass through to the computer  
(also referred to as “hosting an application”), the name of the application(s) that you are hosting are

Customizing Security Settings  
You should always enable encryption for wireless communication. When encryption is enabled, you must  
define an encryption key for the 2Wire gateways wireless access point and configure that same key on each  
wireless client that will use your 2Wire gateway wireless network.  
Note: If encryption is enabled, each wireless client must be configured with the encryption key  
defined on the system before it can operate on your wireless network.  
Configuring Additional Settings  
The Additional Settings panel allows you to customize wireless settings. In general, it is  
recommended that you leave the default settings in place; however, if you are experiencing  
connection or performance difficulties, altering these settings may improve performance.  
Note: Because the fields that display are dependent on the type of wireless adapter you are  
using, some of these settings may not display.

settings ONLY if you are very familiar with computer networking technologies.  
The Current Settings panel shows the following information:  
Router Address. The IP address used by your gateway on the private home network (the default is  
192.168.1.254). The gateway has two IP addresses: a private address that it uses on the home  
network, and one that is used on the public broadband connection on the Internet. You can change the  
home network IP address by changing the home network IP address range.  
Subnet Mask. The subnet mask is determined by the home network IP address range settings (the  
default is 255.255.255.0).  
DHCP Range. The range of IP addresses used by your system (the default is 192.168.1.33 through  
192.168.1.250). IP addresses can be either static (permanently assigned) or dynamic (automatic and  
temporary).

Editing Address Allocation Settings  
The Current Settings panel displays the computers currently on the local network, and their IP address. It  
also indicates whether a given computer is receiving its IP address via DHCP or has been manually entered  
into the computer (static).  
If users enable the Public Network feature, they can choose to have their broadband accessible (non-NAT) IP  
addresses assigned automatically via DHCP to computers on the local network. To do so:  
1. Click the Edit Address Allocation button. The Edit Address Allocation Settings page opens.  
2. In the Settings panel, select an available IP address from the pulldown menu next to the computer to  
which you want an IP address automatically assigned.  
3. Click Save.  
Users can choose to have the address assigned from any of the available networks. Computers that are  
assigned non-routable (private network) addresses will use Network Address Translation (NAT) to access  
the internet. Selecting a “DHCP Fixed” entry instructs the gateway to always provide the same address from  
the DHCP pool to the specified computer.  
Computers on the Public Network are still behind the firewall. To allow inbound traffic to these computers,  
the firewall settings specified for that computer must be modified.

Firewall Pages  
The 2Wire gateway has a professional-grade firewall to help prevent unauthorized users from accessing your  
local network. The 2Wire gateway firewall includes the following features:  
Stateful packet inspection. Blocks common Denial of Service attacks (such as SYN/FIN flooding or  
Smurf), and detects and logs TCP and UDP port scans.  
Stateless packet inspection. Filters specific NetBios traffic, suspicious packets and IP fragments;  
blocks packets sent from the private network to the Internet that have spoofed IP addresses.  
Network Address Translation (NAT). Translates a local networks IP address to an external address  
maintained by the 2Wire gateway, effectively “hiding” the existence of a home network to the Internet.  
The 2Wire gateway then uses this external address to communicate with the Internet on behalf of  
devices connected to the local network.  
Port Address Translation (PAT). A function provided by some routers which allows hosts on a LAN to  
communicate with the rest of a network (such as the Internet) without revealing their own private IP  
address. All outbound packets have their IP address translated to the routers external IP address.  
Replies come back to the router, which then translates them back into the private IP address of the  
original host for final delivery. During PAT, each computer on the LAN is translated to the same IP  
address, but with a different port number assignment.  
Inbound and outbound port blocking. Blocks common inbound and outbound protocol types from  
passing information to or receiving information from the Internet.

Gateway User Interface  
The Firewall Settings panel displays the Current Settings for your firewall.  
Default. Unsolicited inbound traffic is not allowed to pass through the firewall.  
Custom. Applications are associated with computers on your network.  
An access list shows the computers (Devices) on your network and the names of the Allowed Applications  
for each computer. When you allow application traffic, external users on the Internet can have limited  
access to your home network. This access might be required to allow some programs (such as game  
servers or instant messaging software) to operate properly.  
For example, a remote game player on the Internet might need to contact the game server program that you  
have installed on your home network in order to play against you. Normally, the firewall blocks this  
communication. By changing the firewall settings, this communication is permitted to pass through a  
“pinhole” in the firewall. This function may be referred to as “port-mapping” or “port-forwarding” in your  
software program documentation.  
Click VIEW DETAILS to access the Firewall Details page, which shows a list of all the devices that have  
applications configured in the firewall and the details of these configurations.

Gateway User Interface  
Configuring Firewall Settings  
The Edit Firewall Settings page allows you to open select ports, or “pinholes” in the firewall.  
You can allow individual applications, or use DMZplus mode. When in DMZplus mode, the designated  
computer:  
Shares your gateways IP address (Router Address).  
Appears as if it is directly connected to the Internet.  
Has all of the unassigned TCP and UDP ports opened and pointed to it.  
Can receive unsolicited network traffic from the Internet.  
Because all filtered traffic is forwarded to the designated computer, you should use DMZplus mode with  
caution. A computer in DMZplus mode is less secure because all available ports are open and all incoming  
Internet traffic is directed to this computer.

Gateway User Interface  
Configuring Advanced Firewall Settings  
The Edit Advanced Firewall Settings page allows you to configure advanced features on your firewall.  
Enabling Advanced Security  
The 2Wire gateway firewall already provides a high level of security. You can configure the firewall to provide  
advanced security features, including stealth mode, strict UDP, or block pings.  
Stealth Mode. When in stealth mode, the 2Wire gateway firewall does not return information in  
response to network queries; that is, it will appear to hackers who are trying to access your network  
that your network does not exist. This discourages hackers from further attempts at accessing your  
network, because to them it will appear as though there is no active network to access.  
Block Ping. Ping is a basic Internet program that, when used without malicious intent, allows a user to  
verify that a particular IP address exists and can accept requests. Hackers can use ping to launch an  
attack against your network, because ping can determine the number form of the networks IP address  
enable Block Ping, your network will block all ping requests.  
29

Gateway User Interface  
Strict UDP Session Control. Enabling this feature provides increased security by preventing the 2Wire  
gateway from accepting packets sent from an unknown source over an existing connection. The ability  
to send traffic based on destination only is required by some applications. Enabling this feature may not  
allow some on-line applications to work properly.  
Allowing Inbound and Outbound Traffic  
The Inbound and Outbound Control pane displays some common protocol types. When one of the Inbound  
protocol boxes is checked, the firewall allows the corresponding protocol to pass through from the Internet  
to the network. If one of the Outbound protocol boxes is checked, the firewall allows the traffic from the  
network to pass through the firewall to the Internet.  
Note: If you configure the firewall to block an Inbound protocol, you may disable support for  
hosted applications that require that type of protocol.  
Disabling Attack Detection  
By default, the 2Wire gateway firewall rules block the attack types listed in the Attack Detection pane. There  
are some applications and devices that require the use of specific data ports through the firewall. The  
gateway allows users to open the necessary ports through the firewall using the Firewall Settings page. If  
the user requires that a computer have all incoming traffic available to it, this computer can be set to the  
DMZplus mode. While in DMZplus mode, the computer is still protected against numerous broadband  
attacks (for example, SYN Flood or Invalid TCP flag attacks).  
In rare cases, the incoming traffic may be inadvertently blocked by the firewall (for example, when  
integrating with external third-party firewalls or VPN servers). You may need to disable one or more of the  
attack detection capabilities for any device placed in the DMZplus. In this case, the third-party server  
provides the attack protection normally provided by the gateway.  
Following are the attacks for which the gateway firewall filters continuously checks.  
Excessive Session Detection. When enabled, the firewall will detect applications on the local network  
that are creating excessive sessions out to the Internet. This activity is likely due to a virus or “worm”  
infected computer (for example, Blaster Worm). When the event is detected, the gateway displays a  
HURL warning page.  
TCP/UDP Port Scan. A port scan is a series of messages sent by someone attempting to break into a  
computer to learn which computer network services, each associated with a well-known port number  
(such as UDP and TCP), the computer provides. When enabled, the firewall detects UDP and TCP port  
scans, and drops the packet.  
Invalid Source/Destination IP address. When enabled, the firewall will verify IP addresses by checking  
for the following:  
IP source address is broadcast or multicast — drop packet.  
TCP destination IP address is not unicast — drop packet.  
IP source and destination address are the same — drop packet.  
Invalid IP source received from private/home network — drop packet.

Gateway User Interface  
Packet Flood (SYN/UDP/ICMP/Other). When enabled, the firewall will check for SYN, UDP, ICMP, and  
other types of packet floods on the local and Internet facing interfaces and stop the flood.  
Invalid TCP Flag Attacks (NULL/XMAS/Other). When enabled, the firewall will scan inbound and  
outbound packets for invalid TCP Flag settings, and drop the packet to prevent SYN/FIN, NULL, and  
XMAS attacks.  
Invalid ICMP Detection. The firewall checks for invalid ICMP/code types, and drops the packet.  
Miscellaneous. The firewall checks for the following:  
Unknown IP protocol — drop packet.  
Port 0 attack detected — drop packet.  
TCP SYN packet — drop packet.  
Not a start session packet — drop packet.  
ICMP destination unreachable — terminate session.

Upgrade the Software  
Gateway field upgrades are typically performed via CMS, which is the gateway remote management system.  
The following procedure describes how to perform a local upgrade; however, because the gateways  
configuration information is not retained when performing a local upgrade, upgrading via CMS is the  
preferred method. Perform the local upgrade only if you cannot access the broadband link to upgrade via  
CMS, or the target release is not published on CMS.  
Note: This procedure assumes that you have been provided with a software image via CD, or  
downloaded it from an ftp server.  
Note: Do not disconnect the power cord from the gateway during an upgrade. Doing so will erase  
all gateway information, and cause the gateway to fail.  
2. Click CONTINUE. In the provided field, enter the location of the software image or click the Browse button  
and navigate to the location where the image is stored. Click UPGRADE NOW.  
3. The gateway firmware is upgraded. The gateway will then reboot.

Configuring Multiple Static IP Addresses  
This chapter describes how to configure the 3700HGV-B for use with multiple service provider-assigned  
(static) broadband IP addresses on the SBC Lightspeed network.  
To use multiple broadband addresses with the 3700HGV-B, you must have subscribed to the appropriate  
service from your Internet Service Provider. In addition, you need the IP address and networking information  
that has been identified for the subscribed service.  
The configuration process is divided into three steps.  
1. Enable the Public Network function of the 3700HGV-B and configure it with the appropriate router IP  
address and subnet mask.  
2. Assign the broadband IP address(es) to the desired network devices.  
3. (Optional) Configure firewall rules to direct unsolicited traffic to the associated network devices.

Configuring Mulitple Static IP Addresses  
Step 1: Enable Public Network Mode  
To enable Public Network mode:  
1. Access the Management and Diagnostic Console (MDC) by entering  
2. In the left-hand navigation menu, click the Local Network - Configure link.  
The Local Network - Configuration page opens.  
3. In the Public Network pane, click the Create a route from the Internet to the public network specified below  
checkbox. Althernatively, you can use the Home Network - Advanced Settings page to set this  
information.  
Your gateway uses two sets of IP addresses, one for use between the router and the network (usually  
just 2 addresses) and a second independent set solely for use with end devices. You should have been  
provided with the second set of IP addresses. For example, you might have been provided with a WAN  
gateway address of 66.124.231.65 and a WAN IP address for your router of 66.124.231.66, and told  
that your LAN devices were to use addresses in the range 207.214.87.137 through 207.214.87.141.  
4. In the Router Address and Subnet Mask fields, enter the router address and subnet mask provided to  
you by your ISP.  
5. Click the Submit button to save your results.

If you did not receive a subnet mask from your ISP, but were provided with a number of addresses has been,  
you can look up the associated subnet mask in the table below. Because this information may have been  
identified in a number of different ways, it has been presented here in a number of different ways.

Step 2: Allocate Public IP Addresses to the LAN Clients  
This step requires that all network devices that you wish to configure with a broadband IP address be turned  
on and connected to the 3700HGV-B. Devices should be configured to use their DHCP client for obtaining  
an IP address, although this is not an absolute requirement as identified below.  
Once the gateway is configured to use multiple broadband IP addresses, network devices can be configured  
for one of three modes. Access the Address Allocation page of the MDC to select the desired option (Figure  
2) for each LAN device. This information can also be set by clicking the EDIT ADDRESS ALLOCATION button on  
the Home Network - Advanced Settings page.  
Mode 1: DHCP Private Network. The network client is given a private IP address on the private network  
(Default is the 192.168.1.0 network). This is the normal mode of operation for all LAN devices by  
default (with or without the use of multiple broadband addresses.)  
Mode 2: Public Fixed Network. The network client is given one of the currently available broadband IP  
addresses. The address may change as the IP address lease is renewed, but will always come from the  
pool of available broadband IP addresses.  
Mode 3: DHCP Fixed Address. The network client is permanently assigned one of the broadband IP  
addresess. The address will not change until the gateway is reconfigured via the Address Allocation  
page. This will be the most common configuration for publicly accessible network devices.  
In all the above cases, the network devices should be configured to enable their DHCP client. From this  
point on, the IP addresses for these LAN devices are managed by the 3700HGV-B. However, if DHCP is  
unavailable or its use undesirable, devices can be configured (hard-coded) with a static IP address.  
For devices in the Private Network (NAT), the proper range must be used. The default range is 192.168.1.0,  
so the network device may statically use 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.64, inclusive. Devices assigned  
with these addresses act as if they were assigned an IP address (Mode 1 above).

Configuring Mulitple Static IP Addresses  
For devices using the Public Network addresses, simply configure the device to use the IP address (subnet  
mask and default gateway) as assigned by the ISP. The gateway will automatically detect the usage of a  
broadband IP address on the LAN network and correctly route the return traffic to the appropriate LAN  
device. Once a broadband IP address has been detected by the gateway as being statically coded on the  
device, its entry in the Address Allocation page will no longer be displayed.  
Note: The ability to use DHCP in assigning WAN addresses to LAN devices is different from how  
some other routers operate. These other routers usually require that the address be hard coded  
on the LAN device.  
Upon successful configuration of the gateway, refresh the IP address of the network device (this may require  
restarting that device). It should now have the desired public, or private, IP address assigned by the  
3700HGV-B. Confirm proper configuration by attempting to access the public Internet.  
Figure 2  
Step 3: Configure Firewall Rules  
LAN devices using addresses from the Public Network are still protected by the gateway firewall. To allow  
unsolicited inbound traffic to any of these LAN devices, you must modify the firewall settings specified for  
that device. That is, a LAN device can receive inbound traffic associated with outbound traffic (e.g., web  
browsing) but needs to have a firewall rule established to function as a server.  
To change the firewall settings, access the Firewall - Settings page of the MDC or the Firewall Settings page  
of the standard web pages to configure the Hosted applications allowed for each device to be used with  
unsolicited traffic.  
Note: This is different from how some other routers operate. These other routers automatically  
allow all traffic to pass through from the WAN to the LAN devices configured with WAN IP  
addresses.  
The type of traffic to be received by the device determines the type of firewall configuration required:  
If the device only requires the public IP address then no rules need to be established.  
In some cases, all broadband traffic destined for a device is to be passed to that device. In this case,  
the 3700HGV-B should be configured to Allow all applications for the specific device.  
In other cases, only the traffic associated with a specific application (e.g., ftp server) is to be passed to  
a device. In this case, the “hosted application” feature of the 3700HGV-B will be used to configure  
which traffic to send to the device.  
Note: The 2Wire firewall only allows traffic for a public network IP address to be directed to a  
local LAN device with the same public network IP address. That is, except for traffic sent to the  
single broadband IP address assigned to the router and shared through NAPT, traffic sent to other  
specific broadband IP addresses associated with the connection cannot be directed to local LAN  
devices that may be using private IP addresses.

Configuring Mulitple Static IP Addresses  
Sample Configuration  
In the sample network below, the customer has subscribed to service with an 8 IP address subnet (i.e., 5  
usable broadband IP addresses). The customer wants to host dedicated VPN and web servers in addition to  
having PCs with private IP addresses. The subnet assigned to the customer is 208.35.230.192/29. The  
sample network is shown in Figure *.  
Figure *. Sample Network  
Following are the steps required to configure the gateway for this configuration.

Configuring Mulitple Static IP Addresses  
First, configure the gateway to support “Public Network” static IP addressing using the service provider  
assigned IP addresses of 208.35.206.198 for the gateway and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.248 as  
shown in Figure xxx. Click SAVE to ensure the changes are saved.  
Figure xx  
Second, assign static IP addresses to the Network Servers from the available. This can be done by hard  
coding these on the network interface for these servers or via the gateway using DHCP. The later is shown in  
this example.  
Check that the gateway-connected network interface for each server is configured as a DHCP client (i.e. to  
“Obtain an IP address automatically”).

Configuring Mulitple Static IP Addresses  
Edit the addresses assigned to each device as shown below. Assign an available static IP address to each  
server, selecting the “DHCP Fixed” option from the list box next to each server name. For this example,  
select the following options:  
Device  
IP Address  
VPNSRV  
WEBSRV  
DHCP Fixed 208.35.230.193  
DHCP Fixed 208.35.230.194  
Click SAVE after making your selections in order to ensure the addresses are properly assigned.  
After this step, restart each server so that it is issued the desired static IP address.  
Finally, configure the gateway to allow the appropriate broadband traffic to flow to the network servers.  
In this example, all broadband traffic destined for the VPN server will be allowed. Allowing all inbound traffic  
disables the inbound port blocking feature of the gateway firewall. However, stateful packet inspection will  
still occur as the traffic passes through the gateway providing continued protection against Denial of  
Service and other common Internet attacks.

Configuring Mulitple Static IP Addresses  
In the case of the Web Server, the “hosted application” feature of the 3700HGV-B will be used. This feature  
provides a quick and easy way to allow specific types of unsolicited traffic through the 3700HGV-B firewall.  
For the web server, this includes traffic on TCP port 80 (http).  
Select the computer to which you would like to have all data sent. In this example, the computer selected is  
VPNSRV.  
Select Allow all applications and click DONE. Doing so will allow all inbound data destined for the selected  
server to pass through the firewall.

Configuring Mulitple Static IP Addresses  
To allow all traffic for the web server, configure the gateway to allow the specific type of the associated  
inbound ports to flow to the server. In this example, the computer WEBSRV is selected as the destination  
for the web server traffic.  
Select the Allow individual application(s) option.  
Select the appropriate application from the application list, click the ADD buttton, and then click the DONE  
button. In this example, the application type is “Web Server.”  
When the configuration has been completed, you should confirm your firewall settings on the gateway.
