Figure 2.4b 19 The Basic Settings page contains, Internal Network Interface , Domain Name Server , and External Net- work Interface . We describe these settings in detail in the f ollowing sections. Y ou must click the Apply button after you finish inputting the settings .
20 Installation How the Router W orks The router implements an IP-sharing feature. With only one physical IP address to access the Internet it is impossible for all computers within the home or office network to use the same IP address to gain access to the Internet at the same time.
21 According to the default settings , we will assign the LAN to network “192.168.2.1” Y ou can add more detailed configurations later in section 4.
Class Address Range A Class 10.0.0.0/10.255.255.255 B Class 172.16.0.0/172.31.255.255 C Class 192.168.0.0/192.168.255.255 Domain Name Server Y our ISP may require a DNS (Domain Name Server) address. Please contact your ISP (cab le or DSL provider) for the needed DNS addresses.
External Network Interface External network interface includes ADSL/PPP oE , DHCP Client and Fixed IP Address settings. Y ou must choose one of three wa ys to configure the e xternal network interface . The y are illustrated as f ollows: Example 1: If y ou are connecting through a fixed IP address from the ISP .
2 4 Example 1: Fixed IP Address Settings If you have a fixed IP address obtained 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 .
2 5 Example 2: DHCP Client If you have a dynamic IP address provided by 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.
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 f or authentication. Please f ollo w the steps below . Please select the ADSL/PPPoE radio button. In ADSL/PPPoE Setting : Enter the User Name and Password .
After completing your configuration, each time the BOSS™ boots, it will try to connect with your ISP and the ISP will assign the BOSS™ an external IP address. If you w ould like to connect immediately , you can clic k on the Connect symbol. Once successfully connected, the Status field should reflect this.
Configuration Hierarchies and Power Management This chapter gives you an overview of all the configuration options av ailab le. The BOSS™ is a multifunction product. Section 3.1 explains the corresponding settings for each function. Section 3.2 describes the power management in detail.
Figure 3.2a 2 9 P o wer Management 3.2 Power Management We divided the po wer management function into three parts. There are P ower Down, W ak e on LAN, and Hard Disk Standby .
Wake On LAN (WOL) The WOL function allows remote users on the network to turn on the BOSS™. Please note that the power adapter is connected to the BOSS™ and plugged into a power outlet. Hard Disk Standby If the hard disk is idle for a while, it can enter Standby Mode to reduce the consumption of power .
3 1 Network Settings T o Configure Y our Network Settings When you select Network Settings in the left menu of the web page, five configuration options appear: DHCP Server , IP Alias, Multiple NA T , Route Settings and DDNS. Please refer to the corresponding section for these configurations.
In DHCP Server settings, we assign the range of the virtual IP addresses for the four LAN ports of BOSS™. All devices connected to the LAN ports of BOSS™ will be dynamically assigned the IP addresses within the range. Y ou can either enable the DHCP server or disable it in this screen also.
3 3 Network Settings 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 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.250 is dynamically assigned to individual DHCP clients.
3 4 4.2 IP Alias In Basic Settings, we’ve set the private IP address of BOSS™ as “192.168.2.1”. We will assign the LAN ports of BOSS™ to the network of “192.168.X.XXX”. In DHCP server settings, we’ve set the IP addresses of the LAN as “192.
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 packets from always sending on the same IP address and the other IP address to sit idle. Multiple NA T solves this and allows you to increase the bandwidth.
3 6 5. Or enter “0” in each field for non-setting multiple NA T . 6. Click the Apply button. After you configure the Multiple NA T 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.
In the figures, the destination network is “172.16.6.X”. And the packets will be route in or out of the destina- tion network through the gateway “192.
Dynamic DNS service allows you to assign a fixed machine name to a dynamic IP address. Dynamic DNS provides you with the ability to change the IP address of your domain name to point to your dynamically allocated IP address. This allo ws you to host y our server on a changing IP address.
3 9 Firewall Settings When you select the “Firewall Settings” item in the left menu of the web page, four configuration items appear , including: Vir tual Ser ver settings, URL Filter , IP Filter setup and Denial of Service. Please refer to the corresponding section for each of these items.
The Virtual Ser ver Service is a wa y to simulate mul- tiple servers on the intranet. Y ou hav e se v eral IP addresses within your LAN; howe v er , internal IPs are not visible to others outside of your network.
4 1 5.2 URL Filter Setup The URL Filter function is used to restrict internal users from accessing specific URL locations or web sites. If the Site 1 is given as www .yahoo .com, any hosts in the intranet will not be allo wed to connect to www .yahoo .
The IP filter function is similar to URL Filter . It provides further restrictions in access permission. URL Filter- ing only blocks port number 80 (HTTP) on servers outside of your own network. In IP filtering, you can assign a group of IPs to be restricted.
4. Enter the port number of the ports you wish to block from the selected IP . There are f our fields you can enter por t numbers into , in any order or combination. 5. T o block more than 4 ports, enter a range of por t numbers (if any) in the last field.
4 4 VPN Settings VPN (Virtual Private Networking) provides for secure communication between two separate networks without using a dedicated leased line. In order to achiev e this functionality , a secure tunnel must be built between the two sites for secure communication over the Inter net.
6.1 IPSec Settings 4 5 Sometimes there is a need to transfer commercial infor- mation from a branch office through the Internet. The infor- mation being transferred cannot be sent over the Internet without encryption. The best solution f or most customers is to establish a secure tunnel between the company and branch office.
4 6 VPN Settings 9. In Remote Host Setting: If the remote computer has a fixed IP address (e.g. 10.0.0.9). Please select the Fixed IP radio button. 10. Enter the remote computer’ s IP address within the Remote IP field. (e.g. 10.0.0.9) 11. Enter the remote computer’ s Subnet.
Figure 6.1a,b,c 4 7 VPN Settings The Name field is the connection name; the Gate- way field is the IP address with which the remote and local computers will communicate; the Destina- tion Subnet field specifies the sub-network address with which computers will communicate; the Status field shows you whether the current link is estab- lished or not.
6.2 PPTP Settings For most companies, the PPTP server creates a se- cure connection that a remote user can access a local computer within the company . The remote user has to run a PPTP client and connect to the PPTP ser ver . The PPTP server has to validate the remote user as being in the User List in section 9.
4 9 User Management The BOSS™ provides a client/server environment for users to share files over a network. File sharing works by authorizing the users or groups to access folders by their username and password. When we create a new shared f older , w e must create a ne w user/group list from the current users/groups.
50 User Management For file sharing to work, we have to allow users and/or groups. W e create the user accounts here. The “admin” and “guest” accounts are in the system by default. Please follow these steps to create new users: 1. Click the NEW button in User Management.
7.2 Group After creating the users, you can categorize the users into different groups. In the following example, we will assign Mary to the teacher group and T om and Sophia to the student group. The group management interface is similar to user man- agement.
