It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the Fast Ethernet LAN ports. Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL can provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 Kbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream. Cable modems can provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream. ISDN can provide up to 128 Kbps when using two bearer channels. PSTN analog connections can now run up to 56 Kbps. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits. Although access speed to the Internet is determined by the modem type connected to the Router, data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports. The Router includes an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides four RJ-45 LAN ports and one RJ-45 WAN port on the rear panel. 4 RJ-45 ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). These ports can auto-negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X

(i.e., allowing these ports to be connected to any network device with straight-through cable). These ports can be connected directly to a PC or to a server equipped with an Ethernet network interface card, or to a networking device such as an Ethernet hub or switch. 4 Hardware Description One RJ-45 port for connection to a DSL or cable modem

Warning: Using the wrong type of power adapter may damage your router. Connect your ethernet cable, or xDSL modem to this port. 5 Installing the Wireless Barricade Router System Requirements You must have an ISP that meets the following minimum requirements:

Internet access from your local telephone company or Internet Service Provider (ISP) using a DSL modem or cable modem. A PC using a fixed IP address or dynamic IP address assigned via DHCP, as well as a Gateway server address and DNS server address from your service provider. A computer equipped with a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet card, or a USB-to-Ethernet converter. TCP/IP network protocol installed on each PC that needs to access the Internet. A Java-enabled web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or above installed on one PC at your site for configuring the Router. Connect the System The Router can be positioned at any convenient location in your office or home. No special wiring or cooling requirements are needed. You should, however comply with the following guidelines:

Keep the Router away from any heating devices. Do not place the Router in a dusty or wet environment. You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you install the Router. 6 Connect the System Basic Installation Procedure 1. Connect the LAN: Connect the Router to your PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the rear of the Router to your computers network adapter or to another network device. You may also connect the Router to your PC (using a wireless client adapter) via radio signals. Position both antennas on the back of the Router into the desired positions. For more effective coverage, position the antennas along different axes. For example, try positioning the antennas around 45 to 90 degrees apart. (The antennas emit signals along the toroidal plane and thus provide more effective coverage when positioned along different axes.) 2. Connect the WAN: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting the Router to a cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet router. 3. Power on: Connect the power adapter to the Router. Internet Internet Access Device SMC2804WBRP-G Wireless Gateway SOHO Office or Residence Figure 2. Connecting the Wireless Barricade Router 7 Installing the Wireless Barricade Router Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling The four LAN ports on the Router auto-negotiate the connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex. Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four LAN ports on the Router to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you can cascade any of the LAN ports on the Router to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect your PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated. Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage the Router. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards. Figure 3. Making the LAN Connections 8 Connect the System Attach to Your Network Using Radio Signals Install a wireless network adapter in each computer that will be connected to the Internet or your local network via radio signals. SMC currently offers several wireless network cards, including the SMC2802W and SMC2835W wireless cards. Rotate both antennas on the back of the Router to the desired position. For more effective coverage, position the antennas around 45 to 90 degrees apart. Try to place the Router in a position that is located in the center of your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance. Ensure that the Routers location provides optimal reception throughout your home or office. Computers equipped with a wireless adapter can communicate with each other as an independent wireless LAN by configuring each computer to the same radio channel. However, the Router can provide access to your wired/wireless LAN or to the Internet for all wireless workstations. Each wireless PC in this network infrastructure can talk to any computer in the wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers or network resources in the wired LAN infrastructure or over the Internet via the Router. The wireless infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also increases the effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by retransmitting incoming radio signals through the Router. 9 Installing the Wireless Barricade Router A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central database, or for connection between mobile workers, as shown in the following figure:

If the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped.

(Default: 10 minutes) 41 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router Static IP Address If your Internet Service Provider has assigned a fixed IP address, enter the assigned address and subnet mask for the Router, then enter the gateway address of your ISP. You may need a fixed address if you want to provide Internet services, such as a web server or FTP server. BigPond 42 Advanced Setup BigPond is a service provider in Australia that uses a heartbeat system to maintain the Internet connection. On this page you can configure the user settings including, User Name, Password, and the Authentication Service Name. DNS Domain Name Servers map numerical IP addresses to the equivalent domain name (e.g., www.smc.com). Your ISP should provide the IP address of one or more domain name servers. Enter those addresses in this screen. 43 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router LAN LAN IP Use the LAN menu to configure the LAN IP address for the Router 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 address range may be specified (192.168.2.2254). IP addresses running from 192.168.2.100199 are the default value. Once the IP addresses, e.g. 192.168.2.100199, have been assigned, these IP addresses will be part of the dynamic IP address pool. IP addresses from 192.168.2.299, and 192.168.2.200254 will be available as static IP addresses. Remember not to include the address of the Router in the client address pool. Also remember to configure your client PCs for dynamic IP address allocation. 44 WIRELESS Advanced Setup To configure the Router as a wireless access point for wireless clients (either stationary or roaming), all you need to do is define the radio channel, the Service Set identifier (SSID), and security options. Channel and SSID You must specify a common radio channel and SSID (Service Set ID) to be used by the Router and all of your wireless clients. Be sure you configure all of your clients to the same values. 45 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router SSID: The Service Set ID. This should be set to the same value as the other wireless devices in your network. SSID Broadcast: Broadcasting the SSID on the wireless network for easy connection with client PCs. For security reasons, you should disable SSID broadcast. (Default: Enable) Note: The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Wireless Mode: Set the communication mode for the Router. Default: Mixed (11b+11g) Transmission Rate: Set the rate of data transmitted from the Router. The lower the data rate, the longer the transmission distance. (Default: Fully Automatic.) Channel: The radio channel through which the Router communicates with PCs in its BSS. (Default: 6) Note: The available channel settings are limited by local regulations. g Nitro: In a crowded 2.4 MHz frequency, the connection speed is much lower than the promised 54 Mbps. The g Nitro implemented by Intersils Prism Nitro technology dramatically enhances your wireless network speeds. It provides up to 50% more throughput in 11g only environment, and improves network throughput by 3 times in mixed mode. 46 Advanced Setup Security If you are transmitting sensitive data across radio channels, you should enable wireless security. 47 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/decryption keys for the Router and all of your wireless clients. WEP mode: You can choose disabled, 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. Key Provisioning: Select a key type of static key or dynamic key. Static WEP Key Setting You may manually enter the keys or automatically generate encryption keys. To manually configure the keys, enter 10 digits for each 64-bit key, or enter 26 digits for the single 128-bit key. (A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F.) For automatic 64-bit security, check the box of Passphrase, enter a passphrase and click APPLY. Four keys will be generated. Choose a key ID (1-4) from the drop-down list or accept the default key. 48 Advanced Setup If you use encryption, configure the same keys used for the Router on each of your wireless clients. Note that Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet. WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and 802.1x mechanisms. It provides dynamic key encryption and 802.1x authentication service. With TKIP, WPA uses 48-bit initialization vectors, calculates an 8-byte message integrity code, and generates an encryption key periodically. For authentication, it allows you to use 802.1x authentication for an environment with a RADIUS server installed on your network. Selecting the Pre-shared Key enables WPA to use the pre-shared key in a SOHO network. 49 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router Field Cypher suite Default Parameter Description TKIP One of the security mechanism used by WPA for frame body and CRC frame encryption Select the authentication mode. 802.1X: It is for an enterprise network with a RADIUS server installed. Pre-shared Key: It is for a SOHO network without any authentication server installed. Select the key type as in pass-phrase or in 64-Hex characters Specify in pass-phrase style or in 64-Hex characters. The period of renewing broadcast/

multicast key Authentication 802.1X Pre-shared key type Pre-shared Key Passphrase

(8~63 characters) none Group Key Re_Keying Disable 802.1X Management access will be checked against the authentication database stored on the Router. If an authentication RADIUS 50 Advanced Setup server is used, you must specify the secret key of the Message-Authenticator attribute, i.e., Message Digest-5 (MD5), and the corresponding parameters in the RADIUS Server Parameters field for the remote authentication protocol. General Parameters Field Enable 802.1X Session Idle Timeout Default Parameter Description Yes 300 seconds Starts using 802.1x security control. Defines a maximum period of time for which the connection is maintained during inactivity. Defines a maximum period of time for which the RADIUS server will dynamically re-assign a session key to a connected client station. Defines a maximum period of time for which the Router will wait between failed authentications. Selects the authentication server type. Re-Authentication Period 3600 seconds Quiet Period 60 seconds Server Type RADIUS RADIUS Server Parameters Field Server IP Server Port Defaults 192.168.1.1 1812 Secret Key none NAS-ID none Description The IP address of the RADIUS server. UDP port is used for RADIUS authentication messages. Defines a text string on both the RADIUS client and server to secure RADIUS traffic. The RADIUS server requires MD5 Message-Authenticator attribute for all access request messages. The 802.1x authentication scheme is supported by using the Extensible Authentication Protocol

(EAP) over the RADIUS server. Defines the request identifier of the Network Access Server (NAS) 51 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router NAT From this section you can configure the Virtual Server, and Special Application features that provide control over the TCP/

UDP port openings in the routers firewall. This section can be used to support several Internet based applications such as web, E-mail, FTP, and Telnet. NAT 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. 52 Advanced Setup Virtual Server If you configure the Router 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. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the Router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address). For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/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. The more common TCP service ports include:

HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110 53 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router 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. 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. 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. 54 Advanced Setup Public Port Public Type Comment Example:

ID Trigger Port 6112 1 2 Trigger Type UDP 6112 28800 TCP 2300-2400, 47624 UDP TCP Battle.net MSN Game Zone For a full list of ports and the services that run on them, see www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers. 55 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router FIREWALL The Router 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. Access Control Using this option allows you to specify different privileges based on IP address for the client PCs. Note: Click on Add PC and define the appropriate settings for client PC services (as shown in the following screen). 56 Advanced Setup Access Control Add PC This page allows users to define service limitations of client PCs, including IP address, service type and scheduling rule criteria. 57 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router MAC Filter This section provides MAC filtering configuration information. To use MAC address filtering, you must enter a list of allowed/

denied client MAC addresses into the filtering table. You can define up to 32 clients using the MAC address filtering table. When enabled only the MAC addresses entered will have access to your network. All other devices will be denied access to your network. 58 Advanced Setup URL Blocking To configure the URL Blocking feature, use the table below to specify the web sites (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 56. 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 web sites and keywords specified below. Use the above screen to block access to web sites or to web URLs containing the keyword specified in the table. 59 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router 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. 60 Advanced Setup Add Schedule Rule 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). 3. Click OK and then click the APPLY button to save your settings. 61 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router Hacker Prevention The Hacker Prevention feature limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port. 62 Advanced Setup SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection (Default: Enabled) When the SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) 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 acknowledged 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 the router from responding to any PING request on the WAN port. 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 63 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router 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 email Enter your email address. Specify your SMTP and POP3 servers, user name, and password. Connection Policy Enter the appropriate values for TCP/

UDP sessions as described in the following table. Parameter Fragmentation half-open wait Defaults Description 10 sec Configures the number of seconds that a packet state structure remains active. When the timeout value expires, the router drops the unassembled packet, freeing that structure for use by another packet. Defines how long the software will wait for a TCP session to synchronize before dropping the session. Specifies how long a TCP session will be maintained after the firewall detects a FIN packet. TCP SYN wait 30 sec TCP FIN wait 5 sec 64 Advanced Setup Parameter TCP connection idle timeout UDP session idle timeout H.323 data channel idle timeout Defaults Description 3600 sec

Maximum half-open fragmentation packet number from same host Half-open fragmentation detect sensitive time period 30 1 sec Flooding cracker block time 300 sec 66 Advanced Setup DMZ If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the firewall, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ host to this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ

(Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort. 67 Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router DDNS Provider This DNS feature is powered by either DynDNS, or TZO.com. With a DDNS connection you can host your own web site, E-mail server, FTP site, and more at your own location even if you have a dynamic IP address. (Default: Disable) Domain Name A series of alphanumeric strings separated by periods that maps to the address of a the Router network connection and identifies the owner of the address. Dynamic DNS provides users on the Internet with a method to tie their domain name to the router or server. DDNS allows your domain name to follow your IP address automatically by having your DNS records changed when your IP address changes. The section also has a Server Configuration section that automatically opens the port options checked in the Virtual Server section. Simply enter in the IP Address of your server, 68 Advanced Setup such as a web server, and then click on the port option HTTP Port 80 so users can access your server from the WAN connection (Internet).
