System Requirements Before you begin, review the system requirements, as outlined below. If you are connecting the Eicon 1530 directly to a computer, the following is required: • A 10Base-T Ethernet network interface card, properly installed and configured to use the TCP/IP protocol. A 100 Mbps Ethernet card can be used if the card supports auto-sensing. • TCP/IP communications protocol configured to obtain its IP address automatically (DHCP client), and not configured to use a DNS server.
Step 1: Connect the Cables Leave your computer on when connecting the cables. Front of device VHSI Port Back of device Ethernet Port VHSI Light VHSI cable Blue Ethernet cable (straightthrough) Ethernet Lights Power Light Power Ethernet Hub Power adapter To modem or leased line 1. Connect the power adapter. The Power indicator light should turn green. Note: For more information on indicator lights, see Ports and Indicator Lights on page 29. 2. Connect your VHSI Cable.
Step 2: Verify Computer TCP/IP Settings The Eicon 1530 settings are changed via a series of web pages that reside on the Eicon 1530 itself. However, to access these pages, your TCP/IP settings must be configured appropriately, as described below. IP Address Recommendations • Set your Ethernet card to acquire its IP address dynamically if: – You are connecting the Eicon 1530 to a single computer. – You are installing on a LAN and wish to use the Eicon 1530 as your DHCP server.
Step 3: Log in to the Eicon 1530 Whenever you wish to change settings on the Eicon 1530, you must first log in, as shown below. 1. Launch your web browser and click ‘File’, ‘Open’. 2. Enter 192.168.1.1 as the web page to open. 3. Click ‘OK’. You should see the ‘Log in’ page. Note: If you do not see the ‘Log in’ page, see Troubleshooting on the following page. 4. Click the ‘Log in’ button. Note: By default there is no password. 5. The main menu should appear, as shown below.
Troubleshooting If you cannot access the ‘Log in’ page: • Verify that the Ethernet cable is connected properly. The green light at the top left of the Ethernet port should be on (see Ports and Indicator Lights on page 29 for more information). • Verify that your computer’s TCP/IP settings are configured according to your situation. As the Eicon 1530’s default IP address is 192.168.1.
Step 4: Modify VHSI Settings Once you have logged into the Eicon 1530 web interface, the first setting you should verify is the choice of protocol for the VHSI port (set to ‘X.25’ by default). The protocol should be selected first because all profile settings (which define particular connections) are deleted when the protocol is changed. About the Web Interface The Eicon 1530 settings are changed via web pages that reside on the Eicon 1530 itself.
Choosing a VHSI Protocol 1. From the Link List (the menu at the left of the screen), click on the small ‘+’ next to ‘VHSI Port’ to expand the VHSI Port group, then click the ‘Protocol’ link. ‘Protocol’ link 2. From the ‘Protocol’ drop-down menu, select a protocol. ‘Protocol’ drop-down menu 3. Click the ‘Save’ button, located at the bottom right of the web page, when finished. Note: If you do not click ‘Save’, the changes will be lost when you move to another page.
Step 5: Create a Profile Settings for particular connections are contained in profiles on the Eicon 1530. Note: When you change protocols for the VHSI interface, all profile information is lost. To avoid having to re-enter configuration information, choose the protocol first, as described at the beginning in Step 4: Modify VHSI Settings on page 17. Creating a Profile 1. From the Link List, click the ‘Connection’ link. The ‘Connection Profiles’ page appears. 2.
Switching Between Profiles When you have more than one profile, selecting the associated radio button allows you to select which profile to edit. 1. Select Profile 2. Click ‘Edit”. Deleting Profiles To delete a profile: 1. Select the profile and click ‘Delete’. 1. Select profile 2. Click ‘Delete’. To delete all profiles, click the ‘Delete All’ button. What’s Next? See Step 6: Modify LAN Settings (if required) on page 21.
Step 6: Modify LAN Settings (if required) The following changes may be required if you are connecting the Eicon 1530 to a LAN. Change Device IP Address The Eicon 1530’s default IP address of 192.168.1.1 may or may not be suitable for your LAN. If you are unsure as to whether or not the IP address should be changed, consult your support personnel. Some guidelines are given below. • Eicon 1530 as DHCP server: You do not have to change the Eicon 1530’s IP address.
Step 7: Reset the Device For your settings to take effect, you must reset the device by clicking the ‘Reset Device’ button at the top of the browser window. ‘Reset Device’ button Notes: • Normally you are returned to the welcome page after performing a reset. However, if the LAN IP address has been changed, you will lose contact with the Eicon 1530. If this is the case, you should receive an error message from your browser after about 45 seconds.
Step 8: Test WAN Access Once you have made the required changes, test that you have access to the remote device using your WAN application. You can also ping the remote device to which you are attempting to connect. Troubleshooting If you cannot access the WAN: • Check your configuration settings (see Step 4: Modify VHSI Settings on page 17). Verify that your settings are consistent with those of your network provider.
Adjusting LAN Settings (if required) Depending on your setup, you may have to adjust some of the configuration settings on your computers or servers in order to communicate with the Eicon 1530. Due to the diversity of networking equipment and topologies, this section can only cover the most common setups. If you setup is more complex, contact your network administrator (or other support personnel) to help with the installation.
Changing TCP/IP Settings to DHCP For most connection scenarios, your computer must have TCP/IP configured to act as a DHCP client. This allows your computer to dynamically acquire its IP address and other settings from the Eicon 1530. Note: If you do not want to use the Eicon 1530’s DHCP feature, you must change the IP address of your computer to 192.168.1.2, or 192.168.1.3, etc., as the default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
TCP/IP Settings for Windows NT 4.0 The following procedure describes how to install TCP/IP on Windows NT 4.0. Note that if you have more than one Ethernet adapter installed on your system, you must only change the settings for the adapter used by the Eicon 1530. 1. Click ‘Start’, ‘Settings’, ‘Control Panel’. 2. Double-click the ‘Network’ icon. The Network dialog box appears. 3. Click the ‘Protocols’ tab. 4.

Upgrading Firmware via a Web Browser Eicon Networks posts the latest Eicon 1530 firmware on its web site. You can automatically update your Eicon 1530 to the latest version using the web configuration interface. Note: Configuration settings are normally preserved during firmware updates. However, if you wish to make a backup of your configuration before upgrading, see Saving and Resetting Configuration Settings on page 36. Procedure 1.
Saving and Resetting Configuration Settings The web-based configuration interface makes it easy to save and restore configuration settings on the Eicon 1530. This is useful for backup purposes, or if you intend to maintain several different configurations. You can also reset all settings to factory defaults. When you save the configuration settings, they are stored in a file on your computer. Procedure 1. Log in to the Eicon 1530 as described in Accessing the Configuration Menu on page 31. 2.
Changing the VHSI Port Protocol The Eicon 1530 uses profiles to make individual connections. However, the connection profiles depend on the protocol chosen for the VHSI port. When you change the VHSI port protocol, all profiles associated with that protocol are erased. Therefore, it is very important to select the VHSI port protocol first, before creating or modifying connection profiles.
4. To change the protocol setting, select a new protocol from the drop-down menu. In the following example, the protocol was changed from ‘X.25’ to ‘PPP’. ‘Protocol’ is now set to PPP Note: The ‘Protocol’ page may or may not contain general protocol settings, depending on the protocol chosen. For example, when the protocol is set to X.25, the protocol page lists several parameters that can be modified. But when the protocol is set to PPP, no parameters are available. 5.
Creating and Editing Profiles Settings for particular connections are contained in profiles on the Eicon 1530. However, when you change protocols for the VHSI interface, all profile information is lost. To avoid having to re-enter configuration information, choose the protocol first, as described in Changing the VHSI Port Protocol on page 37. Once your protocol is configured properly, you need to create connection profiles.
6. Make the required changes to the profile. Be sure to scroll down and inspect all parameters. In particular: • If you are using X.25, make sure to enter the remote DTE address and remote IP address. • If you are using Frame Relay, make sure the local DLCI number is the same as the remote DLCI. • If you are using PPP, make sure to enter the IP information at the bottom of the page. 7. Click the ‘Save’ button when finished making your changes. If you do not click ‘Save’, your changes will be ignored.
Security Overview .................................................................................................................... 42 Security Features Summary..................................................................................... 43 System Password ....................................................................................................... 44 Automatic Log Out ...................................................................................................
Overview Connecting your computers to an external network creates a wide range of benefits, but also exposes your computers to certain risks. To safeguard your data and systems, the Eicon 1530 provides a comprehensive range of security features. This section explains how to use and configure each feature for optimal protection of your systems.
Security Features Summary This table lists all security features offered by the Eicon 1530, and their default settings. Feature Default Description System password None Restricts access to the Eicon 1530 configuration interfaces. Automatic log out Active Automatically terminates idle configuration sessions. Network address translation (NAT) Disabled NAT hides the addresses of the computers on the internal Ethernet LAN from the external network.
System Password The Eicon 1530 provides a system password that restricts access to the web-based configuration interface and the CLI. This ensures that configuration changes can only be made by authorized personnel. By default, no password is defined. Setting a System Password 1. From the Link List, click ‘System’. 2. Enter the new system password in the ‘Login Password’ and ‘Repeat Login Password’ fields. Password fields 3. Click ‘Save’ then ‘Reset’.
Automatic Log Out The Eicon 1530 applies an automatic timeout to configuration sessions. When a configuration session is idle for more than the timeout value, the Eicon 1530 automatically logs the user out. This reduces the risk of unauthorized persons taking advantage of a logged-in computer that has been left unattended. The timeout values, which are not configurable, are as follows: • Web interface: 30 minutes. • Telnet session: 2 minutes.
Network Address Translation (NAT) The Eicon 1530 uses network address translation (NAT) to ‘hide’ the local LAN from all external resources. The benefits of this are the ability for all connected computers to access the external network using one user account, defined on the device itself. For example, when communicating with the Internet, the four computers in the following diagram share the dynamically assigned address ‘222.182.22.39’.
• Remote access to the configuration interfaces on the Eicon 1530 via the external network can be disrupted. For example, if you designate a computer to receive HTTP traffic, remote access to the web configuration interface will be disrupted. However, local access via Ethernet will still be possible. • Only one computer on the internal LAN can be designated to receive the traffic for a specific protocol.
To define a default NAT server, enter the IP address of the device that should receive these datagrams into the ‘Default NAT server’ field on the IP Parameters panel. ‘Default NAT Server’ field Note: The Eicon 1530 handles traffic with the following protocols: HTTP, Telnet, TFTP, ECHO (UDP port 7), and SNMP. Only traffic that does not contain these protocols will be forwarded to the default NAT server. To forward the aformentioned protocols you must define a NAT static mapping for each one.
Remote Management By default, the Eicon 1530 allows remote devices to access its configuration interfaces via the external network. This feature can be disabled; however, this does not affect traffic on the local LAN created by the Eicon 1530. If the local LAN is connected to other networks, these computers will continue to have access to the Eicon 1530, even if remote management is disabled.
1. From the Link List, click ‘System’. 2. Clear the ‘Enable remote management’ check box. ‘Enable remote management’ option 3. Click ‘Save’ then ‘Reset’. Defining a Password If remote management is enabled, it is strongly suggested that you define a login password. This parameter is available on the same page as the remote management option.
Authentication (PPP only) Authentication works through the exchange of usernames and passwords. This process can be one-way (either the caller or callee gets validated) or two-way (both sides validate each other). Generally, authentication is one-way, with the incoming connection being validated. For example, when the Eicon 1530 connects to a device on the external network, the Eicon 1530 is authenticated by the remote device, i.e., the Eicon 1530 must supply a username and password to log on.
Manual Dialing The Manual Dialing feature lets you manually control when the connection is to be established. Enabling Manual Dialing 1. From the Link List, click ‘Connection’. 2. Scroll down to the ‘IP’ section of the page. ‘Manual Dialing’ option 3. Check the ‘Manual Dialing’ option. 4. Click ‘Save’, then ‘Reset’.
Custom Security Features using IP Filters By using IP filters you can create your own custom security solutions. For example, you can limit local access to the Eicon 1530 for specific computers, accept incoming traffic only from certain remote users or networks, or drop incoming or outgoing nuisance traffic. • • • • • How Filtering Works............................................................................................ 53 Defining a New Filter ......................................................
Important Notes on Filters • Profile information is not retained when the protocol (PPP or X.25) is changed. Since filters apply to individual profiles, filter information is also lost when the protocol is changed. Be sure that you have set up the Eicon 1530 with the proper protocol, and that you have created all the necessary profiles, before creating filters. • If you create a new profile, then wish to add filters for the profile, you must first reset the device.
5. To insert a new filter, click the ‘+’ symbol. ‘Plus’ symbol 6. The ‘Edit Filters’ page appear. 7. Define the settings for the filter using the drop-down menus and click ‘Done’. The following diagram shows a quick description of what each field means. For more details on the available options, see ‘Edit Filters’ Page Options on page 56. Source /Destination Action Direction Address 8. Location Protocol When finished, click the ‘Save’ button. Note: Two other options, the ‘Select the operation...
9. Once you click ‘Save’, you are returned to the main filter page. The new filter you just defined is shown in the list. However, the checkbox to the left of the filter definition is empty, indicating that the filter is not enabled. The new filter 10. Enable the filter by clicking the box that appears to the right of the ‘Edit’ button. Checkbox 11. Click ‘Save’. This makes the filter operational.
Source / Destination • ‘from’: Examine the source IP address of the datagram. • ‘to’: Examine the destination IP address of the datagram. Location • ‘the Ethernet LAN’: Sets the filter to match datagrams with network addresses that are the same as that of the Eicon 1530. By default, this is 192.168.1.0. A mask of 255.255.255.0 is used to extract the network address. • ‘the network’: Sets the filter to match datagrams with network addresses that are the same as that the one you specify.
• ‘TFTP’: The Eicon 1530 can function as a TFTP server to support uploading and downloading of configuration files. If you filter TFTP traffic, you will not be able to use this feature. • ‘DNS’: Domain name system. Filtering DNS datagrams can cause disruptions in the ability to access remote sites. The following options are also available: NFS/RPC, News, Time (NTP), BOOTP, SNMP, ICMP, Ping (ICMP), Ping Reply, ICMP Redir.
However, the moment you create one filter, a new default is used that drops all traffic, as shown below. New default filter This situation will usually require that you create at least one filter before the last filter. The new filter would forward legitimate traffic; all other traffic would be dropped by the last filter. For example, if you wanted to bar all incoming and outgoing web traffic, but allow all other traffic, the filter stack would resemble the following: 1.
After creating the first filter, the filter page should look like this: First filter Since the Eicon 1530 automatically changed the last filter to one that drops all traffic, you must create a second filter (before the last one) that allows all other traffic through, as shown below. Without the second filter, all traffic would essentially be barred.
