You can see the status of the WANs you have configured from the WAN Settings web page. You will know if your WAN is connected with a valid IP or has been disconnected, etc. This will help in diagnosing the problem with your connection, in case you have one top WAN VLAN Status You can configure if you want to turn the WAN VLAN feature ON/OFF. If this setting is turned OFF then the individual settings for each WAN will not take effect. If this is turned ON, then you can go and set the individual setting for each WAN from the WAN Settings web page. Please consult your ISP for the settings you need to keep. top Application Server Settings - You can configure access rights to certain core services running on your device. You can allow/disallow access from the LAN/WAN, to keep the security setting that you feel suits your need. Be aware that certain servers may not be running on your box even if this page shows so. This depends on the model of the box you purchased. top Special Application Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, Internet telephony and others. These applications cannot work when Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections,-specify the port normally associated with an application in the "Trigger Port" field,select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic. Example: Firewall The ADSLRT provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters to limit the risk of intrusion and defending against a wide array of common hacker attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a demilitarized zone (DMZ). top Discard PING from WAN side - When this feature is enabled, hosts on the WAN cannot ping the ADSLRT. top Client Filtering You can filter Internet access for local clients based on IP addresses, application types, (i.e., HTTP port), and time of day. For example, one can configure the LAN clients in the address range 192.168.2.50-99 could be permanently restricted from using FTP (Port 21), while clients in the address range 192.168.2.110-119 can be blocked from browsing the Internet (i.e. HTTP Port 80) from Monday through Friday. top Packet Filtering - You can block access to your box by providing details of the packets to be blocked. These parameters include any or all of source IP/port, Destination IP/port, Protocol, Ingress/egress interface. You should be carefull while configuring these rules, as this can render your box inaccessible! top Parental Control - You can block certain client PCs accessing the Internet based on MAC address. This can be also done for particular times during the day and particular days of the week. top Application Filtering - You can prevent certain applications from accessing the internet. Just select the checkbox in front of the application that needs to be blocked, and enable the Main settings at the top of the page. top Application Server Settings - You can prevent certain applications from accessing the internet. Just select the checkbox in front of the application that needs to be blocked, and enable the Main settings at the top of the page. top Virtual DMZ Host - If you have a client PC that cannot run Internet application properly from behind the NAT firewall or after configuring the Special Applications function, 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. top Status You can use the Status screen to see the connection status for the ADSLRT WAN/LAN interfaces, firmware and hardware version numbers, and the number of connected clients to your network. The following items are included in this screen: INTERNET - Displays WAN connection type and status. GATEWAY - Displays system IP settings, as well as DHCP, NAT and Firewall status. INFORMATION - Displays the number of connected clients, as well as the ADSLRT's hardware and firmware version numbers. top System Logs System Log - Syslogd logs the system messages. For viewing, the logged messages can filtered based on the log levels. Currently available log levels are: Default, Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Information and Debug. For "Default" filter levellogged messages are displayed. Syslogd can log messages locally in the system as well as to a remote server running sylogd over a UDP port. Example messages: Sep 6 03:23:45 localhost user.emerg syslog: function name is [_set_system_log] !! Sep 6 03:21:57 localhost syslog.info -- MARK -- Sep 6 03:09:28 localhost user.err syslog: Event Notification Invoked. Sep 6 03:09:27 localhost daemon.notice pppd[2170]: local IP address 145.145.145.145 Sep 6 03:09:27 localhost daemon.debug pppd[2170]: sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x10 ] DHCP Client List - Displays information on all DHCP clients on your network. top Reset Reset <%ifx_get_adsl_mode()%> - Reboot this device and retain all existing configuration settings. FactoryReset <%ifx_get_adsl_mode()%> - Reboot this device and bring back the factory supplied initial configuration settings. The current configuration of the device will be lost and can not be retrieved back. top Configuration Settings Backup & Restore - This facilitates the backup of current running configuration of device to host computer and also allows uploading the previously backed up configuration back to device. Click BACKUP button to download the file or RESTORE button to upload the file top Backup Settings Save the settings/Configuration of this device to a file. The Configuration file will be in gzipped format. Restore Settings Restore the settings/Configuration of this device specified by the file given . The configuration file to be restored MUST be in gzipped .i.e ".gz" format only top TR-069 and TR-064/UPnP This page allows you to configure parameters for managing the device through TR-069 and TR-064/UPnP. TR-069 Checkbox : Enables TR-069 feature for WAN side device management ACS URL : Auto Configuration Server (ACS) URL (e.g. http://www.acsvendor.com:2457/acs) ACS Username : Username to access the ACS ACS Password : Password to access the ACS CPE Username : Username used by ACS to access this CPE CPE Password : Password used by ACS to access this CPE TR-064/UPnP Checkbox : Enables TR-064 or UPnP feature for LAN side device management Connect to ACS button : Clicking on this button, system would send an Inform message with CONN_REQ event to the ACS top SNMP Settings - You can configure parameters for Simple Network Management Protocol running on your box. You should ideally not change these settings as doing so will affect your ISP's ability to access your box and help you solve your problems with the same. top GLOSSARY OF TERMS top DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically
configures the IPv4 settings of connected computer to CPE. DNS Server
Address DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet
host computers to have a domain name and one or more IP addresses.
A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective
domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested
into your Internet browser, the user is sent to the proper IP address.
The DNS server address used by the computers on your home network is
the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned. DSL Modem
DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing
phone lines to transmit data at high speeds. Ethernet A
standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by
special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 100 million bits
per second (Mbps). IP Address
IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of
four numbers separated by periods, that identifies an single, unique
Internet computer host. Example: 192.34.45.8. ISP Gateway
Address (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP
address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. This
address is required only when using a cable or DSL modem. ISP
Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides
connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or
organizations. LAN Local
Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected
together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your
home network is considered a LAN. The LAN ports in device are of RJ48 type. MAC Address
MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware
address of a device connected to a network. NAT Network
Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your
home network to use one IP address. The NAT capability of the ADSLRT,
allows you to access the Internet from any
computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP
addresses from your ISP. PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a
method of secure data transmission originally created for dial-up
connections. PPPoE is for Ethernet connections. Subnet Mask A
subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by
your ISP, is a set of four numbers configured like an IP address. It is
used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network
(as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet. TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is the standard
protocol for data transmission over the Internet. WAN
Specify the WAN connection type
required by your Internet Service Provider, then click "Apply" to provide detailed configuration
parameters for the selected connection type. Specify one of the first five options to configure a
WAN connection through the RJ-45 port. WLAN Basic Settings Configure the Basic Wireless settings, which includes enable/disable WLAN from web, allows you to select operational mode, country settings, channel and modify SSID. top WLAN Advanced Settings The Advanced settings allows you to select SSID and configure relevant advanced params associated with the selected SSID. top WLAN Security Settings The Security settings allows you to select the desired key type and allows to set the key value either in ASCII or HEX format. In WEP type, HEX format and in PassPhrase, ASCII format is supported. top WLAN MAC Control The MAC Control setting allows you to configure access control list used by the access point to control access to the network. Supported values for ACL Mode, Disable - Any station can associate to the access point, Allow - Any station other than the entries in the table will not be allowed to associate to the access point, Deny - Any station other than the entries in the table will be allowed to associate to the access point. top WLAN MAC Address Filter The WLAN MAC Address Filter allows you to configure MAC address of station to the access control list used by the access point to control access to the network. top |
