1. If the ADSL gateway is not on, turn on the power. Wait about one minute.

2. In a Web browser on the PC, connect to http://192.168.1.1/ to enter the gateway's configuration program. The browser should connect and you should see the Enter Network Password screen shown below.

Type admin in the User Name field. Type admin in the Password field. Click OK. These values can be changed later in the Web User Interface (WUI).

Restoring Factory Default Settings

It is only necessary to restore the gateway to the factory default settings when the gateway is in a non-functioning state or you wish to reprogram completely. In the majority of cases, your gateway is already configured to the default values. The factory default configuration can be restored either by pushing the reset button for more than five seconds, or by clicking the Restore Default Configuration option in the Restore Settings screen.

The following default settings are present when setting up the gateway for the first time.

• LAN port IP address: 192.168.1.1
• WAN connection type: bridging
• WAN ATM PVC encapsulation: LLC
• Local administrator account name: admin
• Local administrator account password: admin
• Local non-administrator account name: user
• Local non-administrator account password: user
• Remote WAN access: disabled
• Remote WAN access account name: support
• Remote WAN access account password: support
• NAT and Firewall: disabled
• DHCP server on LAN interface: enabled
• WAN IP address: none

Device Configuration

After login, the Device Info screen appears:

Note: If this screen does not have values yet, this means you need to setup your gateway by going to Begin Quick Setup.

ADSL List

The ADSL List screen details specific connectivity values as directed by your ISP.

Note: If this screen does not have values yet, this means you need to setup your gateway by going to Begin Quick Setup.

Status LEDs

The USRobotics SureConnect ADSL Wireless Gateway has eight LEDs on the front of the gateway: PWR, WAN IP, WLAN, Ethernet 1, 2, 3, 4, and ADSL. The operational status of the gateway is indicated by the LED conditions listed in the following table.

Begin Quick Setup

Begin Quick Setup allows the user to configure the ADSL gateway for DSL connectivity and Internet access. It also guides the user through the ISP network setup first and then the home or office network setup. The USRobotics SureConnect ADSL Wireless Gateway supports the following five ISP network operating modes over gateway ADSL interface:

• PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
• PPP over ATM (PPPoA)
• MAC Encapsulated Routing (MER)
• IP over ATM (IPoA)
• Bridging

The ISP network operating mode depends on the service provider's configuration on the Central Office side and Broadband Access Server (BRAS) for your ADSL line.

Your ISP should be able to provide the following, if needed:

• VPI/VCI values
• ADSL Standard (Modulation)
• Encapsulation Mode
• Authentication (PAP or CHAP) for PPP connections

The following configuration considerations apply:

• If the service provider provides PPPoE service, then the connection selection depends on whether the LAN-side device (typically a PC) is running a PPPoE client or whether the Wireless Gateway is to run the PPPoE client. The Wireless Gateway can support both cases simultaneously. Consult your ISP instructions on the appropriate protocol to use.
• NAPT and Firewall are always enabled when PPPoE or PPPoA mode is selected, but they can be enabled or disabled by the user when MER or IPoA mode is selected. NAPT and Firewall are always disabled when Bridge mode is selected.
• Depending on the network operating mode, and whether NAPT and Firewall are enabled or disabled, the main panel will display or hide the NAPT/Firewall menu. For instance, at initial setup, the default network operating mode is Bridge. The main panel will not show the NAPT and Firewall menu.

1. Click Begin Quick Setup to start the setup process.



2. Enter the appropriate VPI and VCI and click Next. The valid VPI range is from 0 to 255. The valid VCI range is from 32 to 65535.

Connection Type

The Connection Type screen allows you to select the type of network protocol over the ATM PVC supported by the Internet Service Provider. Refer to the beginning of this section for a bridge description of these protocols.

Select the protocol as assigned by your ISP and proceed to the matching sections in this manual for further instructions.

PPP over ATM (PPPoA) / PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)

1. Select the PPP over ATM (PPPoA) or PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) radio button.
2. Select the appropriate Encapsulation Mode and click Next. . The following screen appears:



The screen provides fields to enter the PPP Username and the PPP Password. The password requirement is dependent on the particular settings of the ISP or the ADSL service provider.

The WUI allows a maximum of 256 characters in the PPP user name and a maximum of 32 characters in PPP password.

Authentication Method is default to Auto. It is recommended that you leave the Authentication Method in Auto, however, you may select PAP or CHAP if necessary.

The Wireless Gateway can be configured to disconnect if there is no activity for a specific period of time by selecting the Disconnect if no activity check box.

The entered value must be between 1 minute to 4320 minutes. Default is 30 minutes. The PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service providers. Unless your service provider specifically requires this setup, do not select it.

The PPP IP Extension supports the following conditions:

• Allows only one PC on the LAN
• The public IP address assigned by the remote using the PPP/IPCP protocol is actually not used on the WAN PPP interface. Instead, it is forwarded to the PC's LAN interface through DHCP. Only one PC on the LAN can be connected to the remote since the DHCP server within the ADSL gateway has only a single IP address to assign to a LAN device.
• NAPT and firewall are disabled when this option is selected.
• The ADSL gateway becomes the default gateway and DNS server to the PC through DHCP using the LAN interface IP address.
• The ADSL gateway extends the IP subnet at the remote service provider to the LAN PC. That is, the PC becomes a host belonging to the same IP subnet.
• The ADSL gateway bridges the IP packets between WAN and LAN ports, unless the packet is addressed to the gateway's LAN IP address.
3. After entering your settings, click Next. The following screen appears:



4. This page allows the user to Enable IGMP Multicast, enable WAN service, and Enable Quality of Service. Quality of Service is not enabled by default. Refer to your ISP to determine if Quality of Service should be enabled. After verifying and entering your settings, click Next. The following screen appears:
   
   
   

5. This page allows the user to configure the LAN interface IP address and subnet mask, if the user would like to assign a static IP address to the router or computer. Select the button Enable DHCP Server to enter the starting IP address and end IP address and DHCP lease time.
   
   Select Disable DHCP Server on the LAN if you wish to assign a static IP address to your Local Area Network.
   
   

The secondary LAN IP supports public and private IP addresses and doesn't use Network Address Translation (NAT).You may wish to configure the secondary IP Address for LAN interface with one of the configuration scenarios below:

• Public IP Address: This allows subnets in Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) environments to access the Internet through the secondary LAN interface which uses a public IP address assigned by your ISP while other subnets in SOHO, connected to the primary LAN interface, will access the Internet using the WAN IP address. Only subnets connected to the primary LAN interface will be able to access and manage the ADSL router. The ADSL router can also route between the two different LAN subnets.
• Private IP Address: This means that if the secondary LAN interface is not connected to the Internet, the SOHO clients connected to it can't access the Internet but can communicate with clients connected to the primary IP Address. The ADSL router can also route between the two different LAN subnets.
7. Click Next after completion. The following screen appears:



Note: Enable Wireless is checked by default. Deselect this if you are not using the router as a wireless device in order to minimize the risk of security breeches. Also, you can change the Wireless SSID now or you can do it later from the Wireless AP menu.

8. Click Next.
9. The Network Setup - Summary Screen presents the entire configuration summary. Click Finish if the settings are correct.

After clicking Finish, the gateway will save the configuration to the memory and reboot. The WUI will not respond until the system is brought up again. After the system is up, close the Web browser and relaunch another Web browser session.

Service Provider Settings

The DSL Settings dialog box allows you to select an appropriate modulation mode.

Note: In most cases, automode will suffice and should only be changed at the request of your ISP.

ADSL Standard Settings

This release supports ADSL2 connection. Check with your ISP to make use of this higher rate connection standad.

The DSL Advanced Settings dialog box allows you to select an appropriate test mode.

Warning!! These tests are for your ISP to perform DSL line testing. Running these tests may render your DSL service inoperable.

All three of these modes enable PSD measurements for each phase of training and showtime.

Tone Selection

The Tone Selection button prompts the ADSL Tone Settings dialog box. This allows you to select an appropriate number of upstream and downstream tones. Click Apply after you have made your selections.

WAN Setup

The WAN Setup dialog box allows you to Edit or Remove your ISP configuration that was configured either by EasyConfigurator or during the Quick Setup step. Changes will take effect only after you choose Finish and reboot your gateway.

Access Control - Services

Select Services under the Access Control section. This screen allows for the control of device management to specify protocol for the LAN and WAN sides.

Access Control - IP Addresses

Select IP Addresses under the Access Control section. Select Disable or Enable here to either activate or deactivate the Access Control Mode (Device Management) by user's IP address. To add an IP Address to the list select Add. To remove an IP Address from the list, select Remove.

Access Control - Passwords

Select Passwords under the Access Control section. Use this screen to change or create Device Management passwords. When complete, click Apply.

Quality of Service

The Quality of Service (QoS) tab is useful only when all of the following conditions are met:

• PVC is not in bridge mode (that is, the WAN protocol can be in PPPoA, PPPoE, IPoA or MER)
• PVC is in set to one of the following ATM service categories:
  - UBR-with-PCR
  - UBR-without-PCR
  - non-realtime-VBR
• There are enough ATM TX queues left in the system.

IP QoS is executed in the IP layer. It will classify traffic according to the classification rules. Each rule may contain a combination of the following conditions: protocol (TCP/UDP/ICMP), source IP address/subnet mask, destination IP address/subnet mask, source port (one or range), destination port (one or range). The result of matching a classification rule will produce a priority (high, medium, low) and a type of service (don’t care, Normal Service, Minimum Cost, Maximum Reliability, Maximum Throughput, Minimum Delay).

The IP Type of Service (TOS) of the matching rule will overwrite the original IP header TOS field if “don’t care” is not selected.

The priority of the matching rule determines which ATM TX queue to send over the PVC if the packet is routed to this PVC. The ATM SAR scheduler transmits the packet according to the following order:

1. ATM service categorizes from the highest to lowest order: CBR, rt-VBR, rrt-VBR, UBR
2. For the same service category: Priority level from high, medium, to low
3. For the same priority level: round robin.

IP QoS will only take effect if the packet is routed to a QoS-enabled PVC. If it is routed to a regular QoS-disabled PVC, it will be transmitted at the same priority level as the low priority of a QoS enabled PVC of the same ATM service category.

Network

LAN Setup/DHCP Server

Configure the DSL gateway IP Management Address and Subnet Mask for LAN interface and DHCP Server.

Default Gateway

The Default Gateway Configuration dialog box allows you to configure a static default gateway IP address.

If deselecting the Automatically Assigned Default Gateway checkbox, the following screen appears:

If you are configuring your gateway for either Routed Mode (IPoA) or Static MER Mode, you should enter a static Default Gateway IP Address in the corresponding field and use the appropriate WAN interface.

Note: It is significant that both of these fields are compatible with each other. The WAN interface check box should report the same value as found in the Service Name field box on the WAN Setup screen.

These settings will take affect only after you click Apply. If changing the Automatic Assigned Default Gateway from deselected to selected, you must reboot the gateway to get the automatically assigned default gateway.

DNS Server Configuration

The DNS Server Configuration dialog box allows you to configure a static DNS server IP Address.

If deselecting the Enable Automatic Assigned DNS check box, the following screen appears:

• If you are configuring your gateway for either Routed Mode or Static MER Mode, you should enter a static DNS server IP Address in the Primary DNS Server field. A secondary DNS server could also be entered.
• These settings will take affect only after you click Apply. If changing the Automatic Assigned DNS from deselected to selected, you must reboot the gateway to get the automatically assigned DNS address.

Dynamic DNS

DNS (Domain Name Service) is responsible for resolving an Internet name such as www.usr.com into an IP address for your ISP's equipment to find and serve you with it's Web contents. If we reverse the process, you use a Dynamic DNS Service. By registering with these Dynamic DNS Service providers, and programing your router, you router's public address will be resolved.

Routing

The Routing dialog box allows you to configure Static Route entry.

Routing-Static Route

Pressing Add will open the following screen and you can add static routes

1. Fill in data for:
• Destination Network Address and Subnet Mask
• Gateway IP Address
2. Select the interface for which your settings apply
3. Click Apply.

Routing ARP

The MAC address has the following format "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" where xx are hexidecimal numbers.

Security

Firewall

Firewalls use one or more of three methods to control traffic flowing in and out of the network:

• Packet filtering: Packets (small chunks of data) are analyzed against a set of filters. Packets that make it through the filters are sent to the requesting system, and all others are discarded.
• Proxy service: Information from the Internet is retrieved by the firewall and then sent to the requesting system and vice versa.
• Stateful inspection: A newer method that doesn't examine the contents of each packet but instead compares certain key parts of the packet to a database of trusted information. Information traveling from inside the firewall to the outside is monitored for specific defining characteristics, then incoming information is compared to these characteristics. If the comparison yields a reasonable match, the information is allowed through. Otherwise, it is discarded.

IP Filtering-Outbound Filters

The firewall blocks internal users from accessing the Internet. There are two ways to accomplish this:

Using the TCP/UDP port to block internal users from accessing the Internet (also known as Port Filtering).

Using the source or destination or source or destination port or protocol or any combination of any IP address to block a specific user from accessing the Internet (also known as Address Filtering), the Firewall dialog box allows you to configure outgoing packet types to be sent using either TCP or UDP (or a combination of both) from specific ports.

The following screen appears after you click Add.

Firewall Outgoing - Port Filter Screen Fields

IP Filtering - Inbound Filters

The screen allows inbound IP addresses to reach your computer. To add an IP address to the inbound filter list, click Add. To remove an IP address from the inbound filter list, click Remove.

IP Filtering - Inbound Filters

Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT)

Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) allows a single device, such as a gateway, to act as an agent between the Internet (or "public network") and a local (or "private") network. This means that only a single, unique IP address is required to represent an entire group of computers.

Implementing dynamic NAPT automatically creates a firewall between your internal network and outside networks, or between your internal network and the Internet. NAPT only allows connections that originate inside the sub-domain. Essentially, this means that a computer on an external network cannot connect to your computer unless your computer has initiated the contact. You can browse the Internet and connect to a site, and even download a file; but somebody else cannot latch onto your IP address and use it to connect to a port on your computer.

Under the NAPT environment, all computers behind the NAPT are not accessible from outside (i.e., the WAN). However, if public services, such as web servers, ftp servers or e-mail servers, are needed from your private network, a virtual server can be configured to set up permit secured access. A virtual server setup enables a connection from outside to be redirected to a host running the services on the private subnet. This host running the services is called a virtual server (a virtual server is synonymous with IP forwarding).

The Virtual Servers Setup dialog box allows you to configure Virtual Servers and DMZ Host settings by adding, removing, and saving.

Virtual Servers

Selecting the Add button prompts the following screen:

Port Triggering (also known as Dynamic Port Forwarding)

Enter the application name, outgoing protocol, outgoing port range, incoming protocol, incoming port range, and click Apply to forward IP packets for this application to the specified ports.

Note: A port trigger is available to a single active session and can not support multiple triggers to multiple outgoing clients.

DMZ Host

The DeMilitarized Zone (DMZ) Host option is used to forward IP packets from the WAN that do not belong to any of the applications configured in the virtual servers table, to the DMZ host computer. While virtual server can only forward (redirect) a limited number of services (ports), DMZ hosting allows all the services (ports) running on the DMZ host, to be accessible externally.

Selecting the DMZ Host button prompts the following screen.

To configure the DMZ, type in the address of your computer that will function as a DMZ Host.

UPNP

By default, UPNP is enabled. To disable, deselect Enable UPNP and click Apply.

Wireless AP

The Wireless dialog box allows you to enable the wireless capability, hide the access point, set the wireless network name, enable wireless security, and restrict the channel set.

Wireless Security Screen

The Wireless Security Screen allows you to configure security features of the LAN interface.

Note: For wireless connectivity, the same settings applied here must also be applied to each wireless client.

WPA - PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key)

WPA Pre-Shared Key: There are two encryption options for WPA Pre-Shared Key, TKIP and AES. TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP utilizes a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. AES stands for Advanced Encryption System, which utilizes a symmetric 128-bit clock data encryption.

To use WPA Pre-Shared Key, enter a password in the WPA Pre-Shared Key field between 8 and 63 characters long. You may also enter a Group Key Renewal Interval time between 0 and 99,999 seconds.

WPA Radius: WPA Radius uses an external Radius server to perform user authentication. To use WPA Radius, enter the IP Address of the Radius server, the Radius port (default is 1812) and the shared secret from the Radius server.

802.1x Radius: Radius utilizes either a Radius server for authentication or WEP for data encryption. To utilize Radius, enter the IP Address of the Radius server and its shared secret. Select the desired encryption bit (64 or 128) for WEP and enter either a passphrase or a manual WEP key.

Wireless Settings - Encryption Keys

A network key is a key used for network encryption using the WEP algorithm. Under 802.11, a wireless station can be configured with up to four network keys, with the key index values being 0, 1, 2, and 3. When an access point or a wireless station transmits an encrypted message using a key that is stored in a specific key index, the transmitted message indicates the key index that was used to encrypt the message body. The receiving access point or wireless station can then retrieve the key that is stored at the key index and use it to decode the encrypted message body.

Encryption Keys are also known as WEP passwords. These are hexadecimal pass-keys that can consist of any combination of 10 of the following 16 characters: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f

An illegal entry prompts an error message.

The intent of this screen is to have up to four available network keys (key indexes) that can be matched with the network keys on the client station. The drop down menu allows the selection on one of the four network keys.

Associated Clients

The Associated Clients screen displays all of the clients associated to your wireless router.

Wireless MAC Filter Screen

All NICs have a unique 48-bit MAC address burned into the ROM chip on the card. When MAC address filtering is enabled, you are restricting the NICs that are allowed to connect to your access point. Therefore, an access point will grant access to any wireless device whose MAC address is on its "allow" list.

Wi-Fi routers and access points that support MAC filtering let you specify a list of MAC addresses that may connect to the access point, and thus dictate what devices are authorized to access the wireless network. When a device is using MAC filtering, any address not explicitly defined will be denied access.

Wireless Advanced Screen

Tools

Upgrade Gateway

The Update Software screen allows you to obtain an updated software image file from your ISP. Manual software upgrades from a locally stored file can be performed using the following screen.

1. Select the new image file after clicking Browse.
2. Click Update Software. Completion of this step takes about two minutes. The Wireless Gateway will reboot in the process.

Restore to Defaults

The original factory installed settings can be restored by clicking the Restore Default Configuration option in the Restore Settings screen.

Note: This entry has the same effect as the hardware reset-to-default button. The Wireless Gateway hardware and the boot loader software supports the "reset to default" button. If the reset button is continuously pushed for more than 5 seconds, the boot loader will erase all the configuration data saved in the "Permanent Storage" section on the flash memory.

Note: If you hold the switch for more than 30 seconds, the gateway boots into recovery mode. Simply power cycle to go back to normal boot mode.

Default Settings

The Wireless Gateway default settings are:

• Default network operating mode is Bridging.
• Default LAN port IP address is 192.168.1.1, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
• Local User Name: admin
• Local User Password: admin
• Remote User Name: support
• Remote User Password: support

After the Restore Default Configuration button is selected, the following screen appears.

NOTE: You must have Explorer 6.0 or greater to successfully update your configuration settings.

Reboot Gateway

The Reboot Gateway dialog box allows you to reboot the gateway. The reboot takes two minutes.

Diagnostics

The Diagnostics menu provides feedback on the connection status of the Wireless Gateway and the ADSL link. A description of each test can be obtained by clicking the Help button associated with the test.

Without an active ADSL connection, many of the tests will not be activated, as shown in the following screen.

When the current network operating mode is in bridge, the default gateway and DNS server tests will not be activated.

Rerunning Diagnostics Tests

There are two buttons at the bottom of the screen:

• Rerun Diagnostic Tests
• Rerun Diagnostic Tests With OAM F4

When either of the Rerun Diagnostic Tests buttons are clicked, all the diagnostic tests are repeated. Normally, if one or more tests return a failure status, the user should rerun all the tests again to more thoroughly diagnose the problems encountered.

When you click Rerun Diagnostic Tests With OAM F4, ATM OAM F4 loopback cells are also transmitted, in addition to OAM F5 cells. It is possible that the ATM OAM F4 loopback or segment tests may not be supported by the ATM devices in the DSL service provider's network. For this reason, the OAM F4 test is separated from the general diagnostics tests. When an OAM F4 failure is encountered, the output screen will appear as an F4 Fail. The graphic below shows an example of diagnostics results when the PVC is configured in the PPPoE operating mode.

2. Select from the desired System Log options, enter an option, then click Apply.

System Log - Configuration Options

Option	Description
Log Status	Log Status indicates whether the system is currently recording events. The user can enable or disable event logging. By default, it is disabled. To enable it, click Enable and then Apply.
Log Level	Log Level allows you to configure the event level and filter out unwanted events below this level. The events ranging from the highest critical level "Emergency" down to this configured level will be recorded to the log buffer on the Wireless Gateway SDRAM. When the log buffer is full, the newer event will wrap up to the top of the log buffer and overwrite the old event. By default, the log level is "Debugging," which is the lowest critical level. The following log levels are: Emergency = system is unusable Alert = action must be taken immediately Critical = critical conditions Error = error conditions Warning = warning conditions Notice = normal but significant conditions Informational = information events Debugging = debug-level messages Emergency is the most serious event level, whereas Debugging is the least important. For instance, if the log level is set to Debugging, all the events from the lowest Debugging level to the most critical level Emergency level will be recorded. If the log level is set to Error, only Error and the level above will be logged.
Display Level	Display Level allows the user to select the logged events and display on the "View System Log" page for events of this level and above to the highest Emergency level.
Mode	Mode allows you to specify whether events should be stored in the local memory or be sent to a remote syslog server, or both simultaneously. If "remote" mode is selected, view system log will not be able to display events saved in the remote syslog server. There are several types of syslog server software available for Windows and Linux operation systems.
