6.5.3 Configuring Demilitarized Zone

Configuring a device on the LAN as a demilitarized zone (DMZ) host allows unrestricted two-way Internet access for Internet applications, such as online video games, to run from behind the NAT firewall. The DMZ function allows the router to redirect all packets going to the WAN port IP address to a particular IP address on the LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that a virtual server redirects a particular service or Internet application, such as FTP, to a particular LAN client or server, whereas a DMZ redirects all packets, regardless of the service, going to the WAN IP address to a particular LAN client or server.

A DMZ host allows a computer to have all its connections and ports completely open during data transmission.

WARNING!

The PC defined as a DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and is vulnerable to malicious network attacks. Do not store or manage sensitive information on the DMZ host.

6.7.4 Port Triggering Setup

Some applications, such as online games, videoconferencing and VoIP telephony, require multiple ports for inbound and outbound traffic. If an application requires both an incoming and an outgoing port simultaneously, it is possible to configure static port forwarding to handle the packets. That is not an optimal solution because a static IP address must be configured for each device. With port triggering an application, local port or range of ports and a communication protocol can be mapped to a specific public port. Sending packets out over the local port triggers the router to open an incoming local port that is mapped to the same public port and application as the outgoing local port(s). The local application can communicate over the incoming and outgoing ports without the need for creating a fixed address.

• Enable Port Triggering Click Enable Trigger Port to activate port triggering.
• Description Enter notes or details about the port triggered configuration.
• Popular Applications Select a default application or add a new one.

USB Services

WIRELESS SERVICES

The ESR600H/ESR750H provides two ways to access USB devices over a network: server mode and NetUSB mode. In server mode, the router allows USB storage devices to act as a file servers which can be shared by users connected to the same network. In NetUSB mode, or USB over IP, the router allows users to connect to remote USB non-storage devices, such as speakers, on the same network.

7.1 USB Over IP

7.1.1 Using the USB Device Server

Introduction

NetUSB is a USB over IP technology that transparently redirects all USB packets to a TCP/IP network channel. The technology allows a USB device to be used as if it were connected directly to a PC when actually the USB device is remotely connected to the ESR600H/ESR750H Dual Concurrent Wireless Router.

Connect & Disconnect

Connecting to a USB device with the EnGenius USB Control Center simulates plugging a USB device into a PC. Similarly, disconnecting a USB device simulates unplugging a USB device from a PC. Once connected, the USB device can be used as if it were physically connected to the PC. Only one PC can connect to the USB device at a time so no other PC can connect this USB device until the USB device is disconnected.

Subnet Issue

In order for a PC to use the NetUSB technology, both the PC and USB device server must be on the same subnet. To determine the USB device server's subnet, open the Control Centre software let it search for available devices. All available USB device servers are listed in the control center. If a server is not on the same subnet as the PC, the server is highlighted in red. If the server is on the same subnet, it is highlighted in blue and can be used with NetUSB. To configure the USB device server to be on the same subnet as the PC, modify the device server's IP address to use the same subnet or switch the server to use DHCP mode.

Installation of a USB Device Driver

Some USB devices, like printers or multifunction printers (MFPs), require installing a vendor-supplied driver. For USB devices that do not need to a driver installed, skip this section.

To install a USB device driver, do the following:

1. Insert the CDROM into the CDROM drive and run the "autorun" program.

There are different ways of connecting your personal computer (PC) or mobile computing device to the Internet. Here are four of the most common ways and how to connect to the Internet using them.

Dynamic IP Address (DHCP)

A DHCP of connection is where your internet connection is usually always on and your internet service provider automatically provides you with an IP address. A DHCP connection is usually from a Cable internet service.

Static IP

To set up a Static IP connection, enter the following: IP Address of the Internet Connection, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and both DNS Servers. This information can be obtained by either your Internet Service provider or Network Administrator. If your internet service provider requires a username and password to connect, you will then be prompted to enter the correct information.

MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for internet transmission. The factory default MTU size of Static IP is 1500. If you wish to manually change the MTU size, set it between 512 and 1500.

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE): To set up a PPPoE connection, enter the Username, Password, and Service (name) of the internet connection provided by your ISP. Click Next and the ESR300H should connect to the internet successfully. A PPPoE connection is usually from a DSL internet service.

1. Login: The username or e-mail address that the internet connection uses to access internet connectivity.
2. Password: The password that corresponds to the username or e-mail address used to connect to the internet in the PPPoE.
3. Service Name: The Service Name is optional. This is to signify the name of the Internet Service Provider.
4. MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for internet transmission. The factory default MTU size of Static IP is 1500. If you wish to manually change the MTU size, set it between 512 and 1500.
5. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)

To set up a PPTP connection, enter the type of WAN connection (Static IP or DHCP). After, depending on the type of WAN, follow the instructions of DHCP or Static IP to fill out the corresponding information. Then, proceed to enter the Username, Password, Service, and Connection ID of the PPTP internet connection. Once completed, click Next. Once configured, the internet connection will successfully connect.

Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)

To set up an L2TP connection, enter the type of WAN connection (Static IP or DHCP). After, depending on the type of WAN, follow the instructions of DHCP or Static IP to fill out the corresponding information. Then, proceed to enter the Username, Password, and Service. Click next when completed. Once configured, the internet connection will successfully connect.

MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for internet transmission. The factory default MTU size of Static IP is 1500. If you wish to manually change the MTU size, set it between 512 and 1500.
