N_One Wireless Broadband Router Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server) This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address. This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you. DDNS Services work as follows: 1.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router Web Site Click this button to open a new window and connect to the Web site of the selected DDNS service provider. DDNS Data Host Name Enter the domain name allocated to you by the DDNS Service. If you have more than one name, enter the name you wish to use. User Name Enter your Username for the DDNS Service. (TZO.com uses your E-mail address.) Password Enter your current password for the DDNS Service. (TZO.com calls this a key.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router Firewall Rules The Firewall Rules screen allows you to define "Firewall Rules" which can allow or prevent certain traffic. "Traffic" means incoming connection attempts, not packets. By default: • All Outgoing traffic is permitted. • All Incoming traffic is denied. Because of this default behavior, any Outgoing rules will generally Block traffic, and Incoming rules will generally Allow traffic. Firewall Rules Screen An example screen is shown below.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router LAN Server IP Address The PC or Server on your LAN to which traffic covered by this rule will be sent. WAN Users The WAN IP address or addresses covered by this rule. Log Indicates whether or not connections covered by this rule should be logged. Buttons Use the Add button to create a new rule. The other buttons - Edit, Move, or Delete - require that a rule be selected first. Use the radio buttons in the left column to select the desired rule.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router Incoming Rules (Inbound Services) This screen is displayed when the "Add" or "Edit" button for Incoming Rules is clicked. Figure 36: Inbound Services Screen Data - Incoming Rules Screen Inbound Services Service Select the desired Service. This determines which packets are covered by this rule. If necessary, you can define a new Service on the "Services" screen, by defining the protocols and port numbers used by the Service.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router option: Log • Any - All IP addresses are covered by this rule. • Single address - Enter the required address in the "Single/Start" fields. • Address range - If this option is selected, you must enter the desired values in the "Single/Start" and "Finish" fields to determine the address range. This determines whether packets covered by this rule are logged. Select the desired action. • Always - always log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router Data - Outbound Rules Screen Outbound Services Service Select the desired Service or application to be covered by this rule.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router Firewall Services Services are used when creating Firewall Rules. If you wish to create a firewall rule, but the required service is not listed in the "Service" list, you can use this feature to define the required service or services. Once created, these services will be listed in the "Service" list, and can be used when creating Firewall Rules. Figure 38: Add Services Screen Data - Services Services Existing Services This lists any Services you have defined.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router Virtual Servers This feature, sometimes called Port Forwarding, allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because: • Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address. • Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router • For Internet Users, ALL of your Servers have the same IP address. This IP address is allocated by your ISP. • To make it easier for Internet users to connect to your Servers, you can use the "DDNS" feature. This allows Internet users to connect to your Servers with a URL, rather than an IP address. This technology works even if your ISP allocates dynamic IP addresses (IP address is allocated upon connection, so it may change each time you connect).
N_One Wireless Broadband Router Internal Ports Enter the range of internal port numbers. Buttons Defaults This will delete any Servers you have defined, and set the pre-defined Servers to use their default port numbers. Disable All This will cause the "Enable" setting of all Virtual Servers to be set OFF. Update Selected Server Update the current Virtual Server entry, using the data shown in the "Properties" area on screen.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router Connecting to the Virtual Servers Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use the Internet IP Address (the IP Address allocated to you by your ISP). e.g. http://203.70.212.52 ftp://203.70.212.52 It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic. However, you can use the Dynamic DNS feature to allow users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router Options This screen allows advanced users to enter or change a number of settings. For normal operation, there is no need to use this screen or change any settings. An example Options screen is shown below. Figure 41: Options Screen Data - Options Screen Internet Respond to Ping MTU Size • If checked, the Wireless Router will respond to Ping (ICMP) packets received from the Internet. • If not checked, Ping (ICMP) packets from the Internet will be ignored.

Appendix A Troubleshooting This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions. Overview This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Wireless Broadband Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless Broadband Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1: Can't connect to the Wireless Broadband Router to configure it.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Broadband Router. Solution 2: The Wireless Broadband Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent. For incoming connections, you must use the Virtual Server or Firewall Rules to specify the PC which will receive the incoming traffic. You can also use the DMZ function.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router devices should be shielded or relocated. • RF Shielding Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close to the Wireless Broadband Router.
Appendix B About Wireless LANs This Appendix provides some background information about using Wireless LANs (WLANs). Modes Infrastructure Mode In Infrastructure Mode, one or more Access Points are used to connect Wireless Stations (e.g. Notebook PCs with wireless cards) to a wired (Ethernet) LAN. The Wireless Stations can then access all LAN resources. Access Points can only function in "Infrastructure" mode, and can communicate only with Wireless Stations which are set to "Infrastructure" mode.
N_One Wireless Broadband Router • In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.) • If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join.
