4 Advanced Setup Options In addition to its basic setup options, the Zoom IG-4160 Internet Gateway includes options for specialized, or advanced, settings. If you are like most users, you will not need these options. Your Gateway is designed so that the basic setup settings are sufficient for most users.
Specifying Special Application Settings To make it easier to use, your Gateway includes some preprogrammed special application settings—for example, MSN Gaming Zone and Battle.net. To enable one of these preprogrammed applications, follow these steps. 1 2 3 4 Open the Gateway’s Basic Setup screen by clicking the samenamed icon at the top of the main interface window, and click the Modify Firewall button to display the following screen.
If you want to use a special application that isn’t on the Gateway’s preprogrammed list, we recommend that you first visit this web site: www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/specialapps.htm. This site contains easy-to-understand instructions about special applications and trigger and port usage. It also includes a list of open ports, which you will need to manually set triggers and incoming ports. A trigger is the numeric name for an outbound port.
1 2 Open the Gateway’s Advanced Setup screen by clicking the same-named icon at the top of the main interface window. In the LAN Setup Items list, next to the entry IP Address of DMZ Host, there is an IP Address box. Type the IP address of the computer you want to have unrestricted Internet access, and check the Enable box. Note: You must also set up your DMZ host with the same static IP address you’ve entered here. 3 Click Save to save your changes, or click Undo to start over.
2 3 In the LAN Setup Items list, next to the entry Non-standard FTP Port, highlight the Non-standard FTP field and type in the number you want to use. Click Save to save your changes (or Undo to start over). Note: For security reasons, specifying the use of a non-standard FTP port is temporary. It will be lost when you restart the Gateway. 4.2 Configuring the LAN DHCP Server If your LAN has a lot of computers, it can be a time-consuming task to configure each one with an IP address.
2 3 Define the range of IP addresses you want to use by filling in the IP Pool Starting and Ending Address fields. Note: You need only type the last three digits of the IP addresses. (The first nine will be automatically entered based on your Gateway address.) The starting IP address can be 1239; the ending IP address can be 2-253. Optional Entries: Domain Name and Gateway Address. A domain name is a means of easily identifying your network.
To simplify the task of setting up a virtual server, the Gateway includes a preprogrammed list of well-known Internet services. To enable one of these preprogrammed services, follow these steps. Note: You can ensure that a user always has the same IP address by “locking” their MAC address to a specific IP address. Click LAN MAC Address Control to set this up.
If you want to use a special service that isn’t on the Gateway’s preprogrammed list, you can do so manually. Before you do so, however, we recommend that you visit this web site: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/specialapps. htm. This site contains easy-to-understand instructions about special services. It also includes a list of open ports, which you will need to set up a virtual server.
1 2 3 4 Open the Gateway’s Advanced Setup screen by clicking the same-named icon at the top of the main interface window, and click the LAN MAC Address Control button. Then check the MAC Access Control Enable box. Specify which devices you want to be able to connect or associate with the Gateway by checking the accompanying Enable boxes and selecting allow or deny from the dropdown lists. Define the LAN MAC address and IP address pairs.
4.5 Configuring the Router Access Control The Router Access Control option allows a system administrator to give clients or groups of clients specific access rights to Internet services. To set up this feature, follow the steps below. We’ve also included a list of common service port numbers on page 37. Note: We recommend that you define the LAN MAC-address to LAN IP-address relationships before beginning the process of configuring Router Access Control. Click the LAN MAC Address Control button to proceed.
4 Click Save to save your changes (or Undo to start over).
4.6 Configuring the WAN Ping Response The Gateway’s WAN Ping Response feature is enabled by default. That way, anyone can “ping” your Gateway to determine if it is still active on the network. (Ping stands for Packet INternet Groper.) Oftentimes helpful during network testing and debugging, this utility sends out a packet and waits for a response. You should also be aware that some people ping others to access their IP addresses and hack into their systems.
3 Click the Save button. Note: As a safety precaution, you may see the following dialog box when you click the Clone button. Be sure that your service provider has recorded your computer’s WAN MAC address.
5 System Administration Using a Web-based browser such as Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer, you can monitor and administer the IG4160. This Web-based approach works with any Windows, Macintosh, or Unix computer. Using any PC, launch your browser and type the Gateway’s IP address: 192.168.123.254. 192.168.123.254 5.1 Monitoring System Status From the System Status screen, you can review the Gateway’s current network settings.
The System Status screen displays the following types of information. • WAN MAC Address: This is the MAC address of the WAN port of the Gateway. This MAC address may be needed by your service provider to register your connection. It is printed on the Gateway’s bottom label. • WAN IP Address: This IP address is assigned to your Gateway WAN port by your service provider. • Subnet Mask: This is your service provider’s IP address subnet mask.
5.2 Performing System Administration Tasks Clicking the Toolbox icon at the top of any Gateway user interface screen brings up the Administrator Toolbox, from which you can monitor or change several system administration-type settings. For example, you can • Change the Administrator’s password. Type the existing password, then type the new password twice (once for verification purposes).
that any host can connect to the Gateway to take care of administrative tasks. By entering a specific IP address, only that computer can perform remote administration. If you want to specify a group of trusted users’ IP addresses, use subnet mask addresses and /nn notation; for example, 10.1.2.0/24. Note: When you enable Remote Administration Host, the web server port will be shifted to 88 (the default is 80). • View System Log. Click this button to view a log of system activity.
The Gateway’s user interface uses four basic buttons, which are listed in the table below. BUTTON FUNCTION Save To save changes. Undo To undo any changes and start over. Restart To restart the Gateway. Tip: You must restart the Gateway if you have changed your type of Internet access method (WAN type). In all other instances, you will be prompted if you need to restart the Gateway. Help Clicking the Help icon at the top of any screen displays the Gateway’s context-sensitive help.
