Congratulations on your purchase of the ADSL Barricade™ g, hereafter referred to as the "Barricade". We are proud to provide you with a powerful yet simple communication device for connecting your local area network (LAN) to the Internet. For those who want to surf the Internet in the most secure way, this router provides a convenient and powerful solution.

About the Barricade

The Barricade provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a single-user account. Support is provided for both wired and wireless devices. New technology provides wireless security via Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and MAC address filtering. It is simple to configure and can be up and running in minutes.

Features and Benefits

  • Internet connection to an ADSL modem via an RJ-11 ADSL port
  • Local network connection via four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports
  • On-board IEEE 802.11g wireless network adapter
  • DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name mapping

  • Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion detection, and NAT

  • NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account, and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet services such as web, FTP, e-mail, and Telnet)
    VPN pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP)
  • User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications requiring multiple connections
  • Easy setup through a web browser on any operating system that supports TCP/IP
  • Compatible with all popular Internet applications

Applications

Many advanced networking features are provided by the Barricade:

  • Wireless and Wired LAN

The Barricade provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, and wireless IEEE 802.11g compatible devices, making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.

  • Internet Access

This device supports Internet access through an ADSL connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to establish communications with end users, the Barricade includes built-in clients for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these services on your computer.

- Shared IP Address

The Barricade provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can browse the web at the same time.

Virtual Server

If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the Barricade to act as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number), the Barricade can route the request to the appropriate server (at another internal IP address). This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.

- DMZ Host Support

Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an Internet application from functioning correctly.

Security

The Barricade supports security features that deny Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services that the administrator does not want to serve. The Barricade's firewall also blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), SSID, and MAC filtering provide security over the wireless network.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The Barricade supports three of the most commonly used VPN protocols — PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. These protocols allow remote users to establish a secure connection to their corporate network. If your service provider supports VPNs, then these protocols can be used to create an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for passing secure data over the Internet (i.e., a traditionally shared data network). The VPN protocols supported by the Barricade are briefly described below.

  • Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol — Provides a secure tunnel for remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs.
  • L2TP merges the best features of PPTP and L2F — Like PPTP, L2TP requires that the ISP's routers support the protocol.
  • IP Security — Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using digital certificates for device authentication.

Before installing the ADSL Barricade™ g, verify that you have all the items listed under the Package Contents list. If any of the items are missing or damaged, contact your local distributor. Also be sure that you have all the necessary cabling before installing the Barricade. After installing the Barricade, refer to "Configuring the Barricade" on page 4-1.

Immediately inform your dealer in the event of any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If possible, please retain the carton and original packing materials in case there is a need to return the product.

System Requirements

You must meet the following minimum requirements:

ADSL line installed by your Internet Service Provider.
- A PC using a fixed IP address or dynamic IP address assigned via DHCP, as well as a gateway server address and DNS server address from your service provider.
- A computer equipped with a 10/100 Mbps network adapter, a USB-to-Ethernet converter or an IEEE 802.11g wireless network adapter.
- TCP/IP network protocols installed on each PC that will access the Internet.
- A Java-enabled web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or above installed on one PC at your site for configuring the Barricade.

Hardware Description

The Barricade contains an integrated ADSL modem and connects to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-11 WAN port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the four Fast Ethernet LAN ports.

Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 kbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 kbps upstream. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.

Data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run at up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports and 54 Mbps over the built-in wireless network adapter.

The Barricade includes an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides the following ports on the rear panel:

Phone Line Configuration

Installing a Full-Rate Connection

If you are using a full-rate (G.dmt) connection, your service provider will attach the outside ADSL line to a data/voice splitter. In this case you can connect your phones and computer directly to the splitter as shown below:

SMC 7804WBRB - Installing a Full-Rate Connection - 1
Figure 2-3. Installing with a Splitter

Installing a Splitterless Connection

If you are using a splitterless (G.lite) connection, then your service provider will attach the outside ADSL line directly to your phone system. In this case you can connect your phones and computer directly to the incoming ADSL line, but you will have to add low-pass filters to your phones as shown below:

SMC 7804WBRB - Installing a Splitterless Connection - 1
Figure 2-4. Installing without a Splitter

Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling

The four LAN ports on the Barricade auto-negotiate the connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, as well as the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.

Use RJ-45 cables to connect any of the four LAN ports on the Barricade to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, cascade any of the LAN ports on the Barricade to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect your PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 connector, be sure the tab on the connector clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.

Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This may damage the Barricade.

Notes: 1. Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors for all Ethernet ports. Use Category 3, 4, or 5 for connections that operate at 10 Mbps, and Category 5 for connections that operate at 100 Mbps.

  1. Make sure each twisted-pair cable length does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

Connect the Power Adapter

Plug the power adapter into the power socket on the rear of the Barricade, and the other end into a power outlet.

Check the power indicator on the front panel is lit. If the power indicator is not lit, refer to "Troubleshooting" on page A-1.

In case of a power input failure, the Barricade will automatically restart and begin to operate once the input power is restored.

After completing hardware setup by connecting all your network devices, you need to configure your computer to connect to the Barricade.

NAT

Network Address Translation allows multiple users to access the Internet sharing one public IP.

SMC 7804WBRB - NAT - 1

Address Mapping

Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal users. This also hides the internal network for increased privacy and security. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into the Global IP field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the global IP into the "from" field.

SMC 7804WBRB - Address Mapping - 1

Virtual Server

If you configure the Barricade as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the Barricade redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).

SMC 7804WBRB - Virtual Server - 1

For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by just entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them.

The more common TCP service ports include:

HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110. A list of ports is maintained at the following link:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.

Note: The WAN interface should have a fixed IP address to best utilize this function. See "DDNS" on page 4-58 for using the same domain name even though your IP address changes each time you log into the ISP.

Special Application

Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video-conferencing, and Internet telephony. These applications may not work when Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, use these pages to specify the additional public ports to be opened for each application.

SMC 7804WBRB - Special Application - 1

Routing

These pages define routing related parameters, including static routes and RIP (Routing Information Protocol) parameters.

Operation ModeDisable: RIP disabled on this interface. Enable: RIP enabled on this interface.
Silent: Listens for route broadcasts and updates its route table. It does not participate in sending route broadcasts.
VersionSets the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) version to use on this interface.
Poison ReverseA method for preventing loops that would cause endless retransmission of data traffic.
Authentication RequiredNone: No authentication.
Password: A password authentication key is included in the packet. If this does not match what is expected, the packet will be discarded. This method provides very little security as it is possible to learn the authentication key by watching RIP packets.
MD5: An algorithm that is used to verify data integrity through the creation of a 128-bit message digest from data input (which may be a message of any length) that is claimed to be as unique to that specific data as a fingerprint is to a specific individual.
Authentication CodePassword or MD5 Authentication key.

RIP sends routing-update messages at regular intervals and when the network topology changes. When a router receives a routing update that includes changes to an entry, it updates its routing table to reflect the new route. RIP routers maintain only the best route to a destination. After updating its routing table, the router immediately begins transmitting routing updates to inform other network routers of the change.

Routing Table

SMC 7804WBRB - Routing Table - 1

ParameterDescription
FlagsIndicates the route status: C = Direct connection on the same subnet. S = Static route. R = RIP (Routing Information Protocol) assigned route. I = ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Redirect route.
Network AddressDestination IP address.
NetmaskThe subnetwork associated with the destination. This is a template that identifies the address bits in the destination address used for routing to specific subnets. Each bit that corresponds to a “1” is part of the subnet mask number; each bit that corresponds to “0” is part of the host number.
GatewayThe IP address of the router at the next hop to which frames are forwarded.
InterfaceThe local interface through which the next hop of this route is reached.
MetricWhen a router receives a routing update that contains a new or changed destination network entry, the router adds 1 to the metric value indicated in the update and enters the network in the routing table.

Firewall

The Barricade Router's firewall inspects packets at the application layer, maintains TCP and UDP session information including time-outs and the number of active sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent certain types of network attacks.

SMC 7804WBRB - Firewall - 1

Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and networks with a connection to the Internet. Their goal is not to steal information, but to disable a device or network so users no longer have access to network resources.

The Barricade protects against the following DoS attacks: IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. (See page 4-46 for details.)

The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network. Select Enable and click the "APPLY" button to open the Firewall submenus.

Access Control

Access Control allows users to define the outgoing traffic permitted or not-permitted through the WAN interface. The default is to permit all outgoing traffic.

MAC Filter

The Barricade can also limit the access of hosts within the local area network (LAN). The MAC Filtering Table allows the Barricade to enter up to 32 MAC addresses that are not allowed access to the WAN port.

SMC 7804WBRB - MAC Filter - 1

Click Yes to enable, or No to disable this function.

Enter the MAC address in the space provided.

URL Blocking

The Barricade allows the user to block access to web sites from a particular PC by entering either a full URL address or just a keyword. This feature can be used to protect children from accessing violent or pornographic web sites.

SMC 7804WBRB - URL Blocking - 1

You can define up to 30 sites here.

Schedule Rule

You may filter Internet access for local clients based on rules. Each access control rule may be activated at a scheduled time. Define the schedule on the Schedule Rule page, and apply the rule on the Access Control page.

SMC 7804WBRB - Schedule Rule - 1

Follow these steps to add a schedule rule:

  1. Click "Add Schedule Rule".

Intrusion Detection

Intrusion Detection Feature

Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Anti-DoS firewall protection

(Default: Enabled) — The Intrusion Detection Feature of the Barricade Router limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI feature is turned on, all incoming packets will be blocked except for those types marked in the Stateful Packet Inspection section.

RIP Defect (Default: Enabled) — If an RIP request packet is not acknowledged to by the router, it will stay in the input queue and not be released. Accumulated packets could cause the input queue to fill, causing severe problems for all protocols. Enabling this feature prevents the packets from accumulating.

Discard Ping to WAN (Default: Disabled) — Prevent a ping on the Barricade's WAN port from being routed to the network.

SMC 7804WBRB - Intrusion Detection Feature - 2

Stateful Packet Inspection

This is called a "stateful" packet inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to determine the state of the communications; i.e., it ensures that the stated destination computer has previously requested the current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all communications are initiated by the recipient computer and are taking place only with sources that are known and trusted from previous interactions. In addition to being more rigorous in their inspection of packets, stateful inspection firewalls also close off ports until connection to the specific port is requested.

When particular types of traffic are checked, only the particular type of traffic initiated from the internal LAN will be allowed. For example, if the user only checks "FTP Service" in the Stateful Packet Inspection section, all incoming traffic will be blocked except for FTP connections initiated from the local LAN.

Stateful Packet Inspection allows you to select different application types that are using dynamic port numbers. If you wish to use the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to block packets, click on the Yes radio button in the

"Enable SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection" field and then check the inspection type that you need, such as Packet Fragmentation, TCP Connection, UDP Session, FTP Service, H.323 Service, or TFTP Service.

Note: The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise enabling the prevention features to protect your network.

DMZ

If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host on this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.

SMC 7804WBRB - DMZ - 1

SNMP

Use the SNMP configuration screen to display and modify parameters for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Community

A computer attached to the network, called a Network Management Station (NMS), can be used to access this information. Access rights to the agent are controlled by community strings. To communicate with the Barricade, the NMS must first submit a valid community string for authentication.

SMC 7804WBRB - Community - 1

ParameterDescription
CommunityA community name authorized for management access.
AccessManagement access is restricted to Read Only (Read) or Read/Write (Write).
ValidEnables/disables the entry.

Note: Up to five community names may be entered.

Trap

Specify the IP address of the NMS to notify when a significant event is detected by the agent. When a trap condition occurs, the SNMP agent sends an SNMP trap message to any NMS specified as a trap receiver.

SMC 7804WBRB - Trap - 1

Parameter Description

IP AddressTraps are sent to this address when errors or specific events occur on the network.
CommunityA community string (password) specified for trap management. Enter a word, something other than public or private, to prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing information on your system.
VersionSets the trap status to disabled, or enabled with V1 or V2c. The v2c protocol was proposed in late 1995 and includes enhancements to v1 that are universally accepted. These include a get-bulk command to reduce network management traffic when retrieving a sequence of MIB variables, and a more elaborate set of error codes for improved reporting to a Network Management Station.

ADSL

ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is designed to deliver more bandwidth downstream (from the central office to the customer site) than upstream. This section is used to configure the ADSL operation type and shows the ADSL status.

Troubleshooting Chart
SymptomAction
LED Indicators
Power LED is Off·Check connections between the Barricade, the external power supply, and the wall outlet. ·If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or external power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses, or surges at the power outlet. If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the external power supply may be defective. In this case, contact Technical Support for assistance.
Link LED is Off·Verify that the Barricade and attached device are powered on. ·Be sure the cable is plugged into both the Barricade and the corresponding device. ·Verify that the proper cable type is used and that its length does not exceed the specified limits. ·Be sure that the network interface on the attached device is configured for the proper communication speed and duplex mode. ·Check the adapter on the attached device and cable connections for possible defects. Replace any defective adapter or cable if necessary.
Network Connection Problems
Cannot ping the Barricade from the attached LAN·Verify that the IP addresses are properly configured. For most applications, you should use the Barricade's DHCP function to dynamically assign IP addresses to hosts on the attached LAN. However, if you manually configure IP addresses on the LAN, verify that the same network address (network component of the IP address) and subnet mask are used for both the Barricade and any attached LAN devices. ·Be sure the device you want to ping (or from which you are pinging) has been configured for TCP/IP.
Management Problems
Cannot connect using the web browser• Be sure to have configured the Barricade with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. • Check that you have a valid network connection to the Barricade and that the port you are using has not been disabled. • Check the network cabling between the management station and the Barricade.
Forget or lost the password• Press the Reset button on the rear panel (holding it down for at least five seconds) to restore the factory defaults.
Wireless Problems
A wireless PC cannot associate with the Barricade.·Make sure the wireless PC has the same SSID settings as the Barricade. See “Channel and SSID” on page 4-26. ·You need to have the same security settings on the clients and the Barricade. See “Security” on page 4-27.
The wireless network is often interrupted.·Move your wireless PC closer to the Barricade to find a better signal. If the signal is still weak, change the angle of the antenna. ·There may be interference, possibly caused by a microwave ovens or wireless phones. Change the location of the interference sources or of the Barricade. ·Change the wireless channel on the Barricade. See “Channel and SSID” on page 4-26. ·Check that the antenna, connectors, and cabling are firmly connected.
The Barricade cannot be detected by a wireless client.·The distance between the Barricade and wireless PC is too great. ·Make sure the wireless PC has the same SSID and security settings as the Barricade. See Barricade. See “Channel and SSID” on page 4-26 and “Security” on page 4-27.
