If your ISP has given you a secondary phone number, or if you have a secondary Internet service account, then fill in the relevant fields under Secondary Phone Number. 42 LAN Advanced Setup

LAN IP Use the LAN menu to configure the LAN IP address for the Wireless Barricade and to enable the DHCP server for dynamic client address allocation.

Set a period for the lease time if required. For home networks this may be set to Forever, which means there is no time limit on the IP address lease.

IP Address Pool A dynamic IP start address may be specified by the user, e.g. 192.168.2.100 (default value). Once this start IP address has been assigned, IP addresses running from 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.199 will be part of the dynamic IP address pool. IP addresses from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.99, and 192.168.2.200 to 192.168.2.254 will be available as static IP addresses. Remember not to include the address of the Wireless Barricade in the client address pool. Also remember to configure your client PCs for dynamic IP address allocation. 43 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Wireless Settings (Wireless) To configure the Wireless Barricade as a wireless access point for wireless clients (either stationary or roaming), all you need to do is define the service set identifier (ESSID), the rates of transmission of data and of commands, the radio channel, and the encryption options. Note that the radio channel and the service set identifier must be set to the same value for the Wireless Barricade and for all wireless clients. Channel and SSID ESSID The Extended Service Set Identifier for the wireless network. Also known as the wireless service domain. Transmission Rate The rate of transmission of data, the selections from the drop-down menu are: Fully Automatic, 11 Mbps, Automatic 1 or 2 Mbps, 2 Mbps, or 1 Mbps. 44 Advanced Setup If set to Fully Automatic, the data rate will be automatically selected. If set to Automatic 1 to 2 Mbps the data rate will automatically be selected between these values. If manually set to a specific value then the data rate is fixed at that value. Basic Rate The rate of transmission of commands. Channel The radio channel. Encryption If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable encryption. Encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/

decryption keys for the Wireless Barricade and your wireless clients. You can choose between standard 64-bit or the more robust 128-bit encryption keys. However, please be aware that the extra processing time required for encryption may affect the throughput for wireless communications. 45 Configuring the Wireless Barricade You can automatically generate encryption keys or you can manually enter the keys. For automatic 64-bit security, you enter a passphrase that is used to create four keys and click Generate

(as shown below). A passphrase may consist of up to 32 alphanumeric digits. The automatic 128-bit security generates a single key by entering a passphrase. To manually configure the keys, enter five hexadecimal pairs for each 64-bit key, or enter 13 pairs for the single 128-bit key. (A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F.) Network Address Translation (NAT) From this section you can configure the Address Mapping, Virtual Server, and Special Application features that provide control over the port openings in the routers firewall. This section can be used to support several Internet based applications such as VPN 46 Advanced Setup Address Mapping Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal users. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into the Global IP field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the global IP. 47 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Virtual Server If you configure the Wireless Barricade as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses (LAN IP Addresses). In other words, depending on the requested service

(TCP/UDP port number), the Wireless Barricade redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address). For example, if you set Protocol Type /Public Port to TCP/80

(HTTP or Web) and the LAN IP Address/LAN Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by just entering the IP Address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them. 48 Advanced Setup The more common TCP service ports include:

HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110. Note: This tool can support both port ranges, multiple ports, and combinations of the two. For example:

Port Ranges:100-150 Multiple Ports: 25,110,80 Combination: 25-50,80 Special Applications Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections. These applications cannot work with Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, use the following screen to specify the additional public ports to be opened for each application. 49 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Specify the public port number normally associated with an application in the Trigger Port field. Set the protocol type to TCP or UDP, then enter the ports that the application requires. The ports may be in the format 7, 11, 57, or in a range, e.g., 72-96, or a combination of both, e.g., 7, 11, 57, 72-96. Popular applications requiring multiple ports are listed in the Popular Applications field. From the drop-down list, choose the application and then choose a row number to copy this data into. Note: Choosing a row that already contains data will overwrite the current settings. For a full list of ports and the services that run on them, see www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers. Firewall The Wireless Barricade firewall can provide access control of connected client PCs, block common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network users. To access the firewall menu, select Enable and click on Apply. 50 Advanced Setup Access Control Using this option allows you to specify different privileges based on IP address for the client PCs. 51 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Note: Click on Add PC and define the appropriate settings for client PC services (as shown in the following screen). MAC Filtering Table 52

Advanced Setup The MAC Filtering feature of the Wireless Barricade allows you to control access to your network to up to 32 clients based on the MAC (Media Access Control) Address of the client machine. This ID is unique to each network adapter. If the MAC address is listed in the table, that client machine will have access to the network. URL Blocking To configure the URL Blocking feature, use the table below to specify the websites (www.somesite.com) and/or keywords you want to filter on your network. To complete this configuration, you will need to create or modify an access rule in Access Control on page 51. To modify an existing rule, click the Edit option next to the rule you want to modify. To create a new rule, click on the Add PC option. From the Access Control Add PC section check the option for WWW with URL Blocking in the Client PC Service table to filter out the websites and keywords specified below. 53 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Use the above screen to block access to Web sites or to Web URLs containing the keyword specified in the table. Schedule Rule The Schedule Rule feature allows you to configure specific rules based on Time and Date. These rules can then be used to configure more specific Access Control. Enables Schedule-based Internet access control. 1. Click Add Schedule Rule. 2. Define the settings for the schedule rule (as shown on the following screen). 54 Advanced Setup 3. Click OK and then click the APPLY button to save your settings. Intrusion Detection 55 Configuring the Wireless Barricade

SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection (Default: Enabled) The Wireless Barricade Intrusion Detection Feature limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI feature is turned on, all incoming packets will be blocked except for those types marked with a check in the Stateful Packet Inspection section.

RIP Defect (Default: Enabled) If an RIP request packet is not replied to by the router, it will stay in the input queue and not be released. Accumulated packets could cause the input queue to fill, causing severe problems for all protocols. Enabling this feature prevents the packets accumulating.

Discard Ping from WAN (Default: Disabled) Prevents a PING on the Gateways WAN port from being routed to the network. 56 Advanced Setup

Stateful Packet Inspection This is called a stateful packet inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to determine the state of the communications; i.e., it ensures that the stated destination computer has previously requested the current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all communications are initiated by the recipient computer and are taking place only with sources that are known and trusted from previous interactions. In addition to being more rigorous in their inspection of packets, stateful inspection firewalls also close off ports until connection to the specific port is requested. When particular types of traffic are checked, only the particular type of traffic initiated from the internal LAN will be allowed. For example, if the user only checks FTP Service in the Stateful Packet Inspection section, all incoming traffic will be blocked except for FTP connections initiated from the local LAN. Stateful Packet Inspection allows you to select different application types that are using dynamic port numbers. If you wish to use the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to block packets, click on the Yes radio button in the Enable SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection field and then check the inspection type that you need, such as Packet Fragmentation, TCP Connection, UDP Session, FTP Service, H.323 Service, and TFTP Service.

When hackers attempt to enter your network, we can alert you by e-mail Enter your E-mail address. Specify your SMTP and POP3 servers, user name, and password. 57 Configuring the Wireless Barricade
