Fast Ethernet Switch

A 4-port 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built-in with automatic switching between MDI and MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports, with auto detection allowing you to use either straight or cross-over Ethernet cables.

Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection

The router supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with an ISP. The router also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

Quick Installation Wizard

A web-based GUI and quick installation wizard help you easily install the DC-223\~226 series. Enter your ISP's information and begin browsing the Internet immediately.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal

This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices and PCs from many different vendors, and it makes setting up a network simple and affordable. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, you can seamlessly connect to NetMeeting or MSN Messenger.

Network Address Translation

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateways (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.

Firewall

NAT technology supports simple firewalls and provides options for blocking access from the Internet, like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP.

Domain Name System Relay

Domain Name System (DNS) relay provides an easy way to map a domain name with a user-friendly name such as www.Sitecom.com with an IP address. When a local machine

sets its DNS server to the router's IP address, every DNS conv the PC to this router is forwarded to the real DNS on the outsi

Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. To use the service, you must first apply for an account from a DDNS service such as http://www.dyndns.org/.

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)

The DC-223\~226 series provides an embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection. You get greater access speed without changing the operation concept, while sharing the same ISP account and paying for one access account. No PPPoE client software is required for the local computer. Automatic Reconnect and Disconnect Timeout (Idle Timer) functions are also provided.

Quality of Service (QoS)

QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the router, ensuring important data like gaming packets, customer information, or management information move through the router ay lightning speed, even under heavy load. The QoS features are configurable by source IP address, destination IP address, protocol, and port. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router, to ensure P2P users don't saturate upload bandwidth, or office browsing doesn't bring client web serving to a halt. In addition, or alternatively, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds.

Virtual Server:

You can specify which services are visible to outside users. The router detects an incoming service request and forwards it to the specific local computer for handling. For example, you can assign a PC in a LAN to act as a Web server inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside the web server directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided for local computers exposed to the outside Internet network.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server

On a WAN site, the DHCP client obtains an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) automatically. On a LAN site, the DHCP server allocates a range of client IP

addresses, including subnet masks and DNS IP address computers. This provides an easy way to manage the local IP net

Packet Filtering

This feature filters the packet based on IP addresses as well as Port numbers. Filtering packets to and from the Internet provides a higher level of server

Static and RIP1/2 Routing

An easy static routing table or RIP1/2 routing protocol supports routing capability.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

SNMP allows convenient remote management of the router.

Web-based GUI

A web-based GUI offers easy configuration and management. User-friendly and with on-line help, it also supports remote management capability for manage this product.

Firmware Upgradeable

You can upgrade the router with the latest firmware through i

3. Installation

You can configure the DC-223\~226 series router through the convenient and user-friendly interface of a web browser. Most popular operating systems such as Linux, Mac and Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me include a web browser as a standard application.

3.1 Before Configuration

PCs must have a properly installed Ethernet interface and connect to the router directly or through an external switching hub. In addition, PCs must have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 10.0.0.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.254). The easiest way is to configure the PC to obtain an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router's web interface you are advised to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 10.0.0.1 IP address of the router.

Please follow the steps below for installation on your PC's network environment. First of all, check your PC's network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating systems manuals.

NOTE:

Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through the DC-223\~226 series. To configure other types of workstations, please consult the manufacturer's documentation.

4.3.3 Time Zone

The router does not have a real time clock on board. Instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone, click "Enable" and click the "Apply" button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router retrieves the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the dropdown list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use.

Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router waits before it resynchronizes the router's time with that of the specified SNTP server. To avoid unnecessarily increasing the load on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the absolute minimum every few hours or even days.

This router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a "natural" Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet. See the WAN configuration section for more details on NAT.

QOS: Keeping Your Internet Connection Fast and Responsive.

Configurable by source IP address, destination IP address, protocol, and port, the Quality of Service (QOS) gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the router, ensuring bandwidth-consumption data like gaming packets, latency-sensitive application like voice, or even mission critical files, move through the router at lightening speed, even under heavy load. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router. In addition, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds.

After clicking the QOS item, you can Add / Edit / Delete a QOS policy. This page will show the brief information for policies you have added or edited. This page will also display the total available (Non-assigned) bandwidth, in percentage, can be assigned.

Application: A name that identifies an existing policy.

Time Schedule: Scheduling your QOS policy to be applied.

Direction: The traffic flow direction to be controlled by the QOS policy.

There are two settings to be provided in the Router:

LAN to WAN: You want to control the traffic flow from the local network to the outside world. E.g., you have a FTP server inside the local network and you want to have a limited traffic rate controlled by the QOS policy. So, you need to add a policy with LAN to WAN direction setting.

LAN to WAN: Control Traffic flow from the WAN to LAN. The connection maybe either issued from LAN to WAN or WAN to LAN.)

Assigned Bandwidth Ratio: This field shows the assigned bandwidth ratio in percentage for a QOS policy. If WAN connection to internet is established, the estimated transfer rate will be shown in kbps. You may specify a fixed transfer rate or Minimum Guaranteed Rate with priority for non-used bandwidth.

Non-Assigned Bandwidth Ratio: This field shows the available bandwidth ratio, for LAN to WAN and WAN to LAN, which has not yet assigned.

Controlled Traffic Flow: Specify the traffic flow you want to control. For GRE protocol, there is no need to specify the IP addresses or Application ports in this page. For other protocols, at least one value shall begin.

Packet type: The packet type will be controlled. For GRE protocol, there is no need to specify the IP addresses or Application ports in this page. For other protocols, at least one value shall be given.

Any: No specified protocol type is specified.

• T CP
• UDP
• I CMP
• GRE: For PPTP VPN Connections.

Assigned Data Rate: Assign the data ratio for this policy to be controlled. For examples, we want to only allow 20% of the total data transfer rate for the LAN-to-WAN direction to be used for FTP server. Then we can specify here with data ratio = 20. If you have ADSL LINE with 256K/bps.rate, the estimated data rate, in kbps, for this rule is 20%*256*0.9 = 46kbps. (For 0.9 is an estimated factor for the effective data transfer rate for a ADSL LINE from LAN to WAN. For WAN-to-LAN, it is 0.85 to 0.8).

Data Ratio: percentage for the data rate to be controlled by this policy. As above FTP server examples, it is 20.

Rate Type: We provide 2 types here:

Fixed (Maximum): specify a fixed data rate for this policy. It also is the maximal rate for this policy. As above FTP server example, you may want to "throttle" the outgoing FTP speed to 20% of 256K and limit to it, you may use this type.

Guaranteed (Minimum): specify a minimal data rate for this policy. For example, you want to provide a guaranteed data rate for your outside customers to access your internal FTP server with, say at least, 20% of your total bandwidth. You can use this type. Then, if there is available bandwidth that is not used, it will be given to this policy by following priority assignment.

Priority for Non-used Bandwidth: Specify the priority for the bandwidth that is not used. For examples, you may specify two different QOS policies for different applications. Both applications need a minimal bandwidth and need more bandwidth, beside the assigned one, if there is any available/non-used one available. So, you may specify which application can have higher priority to acquire then non-used bandwidth.

• High
  • Normal: The default is normal priority.
• Low

For the sample priority assignment for different policies, it is served in a First-In-First-Out way.

DSCP Marking: Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), it is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte. DSCP Marking allows users to classify traffic based on DSCP value and send packets to next Router.

4.5.2 Virtual Server

In TCP/IP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers

Authority), and these are referred to as "well-known ports". Support assignments so clients can locate them.

If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e. from other machines on the Internet that are outside your local network), or any application that can accept incoming connections (e.g. Peer-to-peer/P2P software such as instant messaging applications and P2P file-sharing applications) and are using NAT (Network Address Translation), then you need to configure your router to forward these incoming connection attempts using specific ports to the PC on your network running the application. You also need to use port forwarding if you wish to host an online game server.

The reason is that when using NAT, your publicly accessible IP address is used by and points to your router, which needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by your PCs. Please see the WAN configuration section of this manual for information on NAT.

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the central coordinator for the assignment of unique parameter values for Internet protocols. Port numbers range from 0 to 65535, but only port numbers 0 to 1023 are reserved for privileged services and are designated as "well-known ports". The registered ports are numbered from 1024 through 49151. The remaining ports, referred to as dynamic ports, or private ports, are numbered from 49152 through 65535.

Examples of well-known and registered port numbers are shown below, for further information, please see IANA's website at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

Start Port & End Port: Enter the public port number & range you wish to configure.

IP Address: Enter the IP address of a specific internal server to which requests from the specified port is forwarded.

Since NAT acts as a "natural" Internet firewall, the access by outside users, as all incoming connection attempts specifically create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your network. When it is needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g. a web server, FTP server, Email server or game server, the router can act as a "virtual server". You can set up a local server with a specific port number for the service to use, e.g. web/HTTP (port 80), FTP (port 21), Telnet (port 23), SMTP (port 25), or POP3 (port 110). When an incoming access request to the router for a specified port is received, it is forwarded to the corresponding internal server.

For example, if you set the port number 80 (Web/HTTP) to be mapped to the IP Address 10.0.0.2, then all incoming HTTP requests from outside users are forwarded to the local server (PC) with the IP address of 10.0.0.2. If the port is not listed as a predefined application, you need to add it manually.

In addition to specifying the port number used, you also need to specify the protocol used. The protocol is determined by the particular application. Most applications use TCP or UDP. However you can specify other protocols using the drop-down Protocol menu. Setting the protocol to "all" causes all incoming connection attempts using all protocols on all port numbers to be forwarded to the specified IP address.

DMZ: The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets are checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms, and then passed to the DMZ host when a packet received does not use a port number in use by any other Virtual Server entries.

NOTE:

Using port forwarding does have security implications, since outside users are able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires instead of simply using DMZ or creating a Virtual Server entry for "All" protocols, as doing so results in all connection attempts to your public IP address accessing the specified PC.

If you disable the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server function becomes invalid.

If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually assign a static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router.

4.5.3 Static Route

Gateway: The gateway IP address to which packets are forwarded.

Interface: Select the interface through which packets are forwarded.

Cost: Represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 0 and 65535.

4.5.4 Dynamic DNS

The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if your ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is

especially useful for hosting servers via your ADSL to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP.

You first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/

4.5.5.1 Embedded Web Server:

HTTP Port: The port number of the router's embedded web server (for web-based configuration uses. The default value is the standard HTTP port, 80. You may specify an alternative if, for example, you are running a web server on a PC within your LAN.

For Example: User A changes HTTP port number to 100, specifies their own IP address of 10.0.0.55, and sets the logout time to be 100 seconds. The router only allows User A access from the IP address 10.0.0.55 to logon to the Web GUI by typing: http://10.0.0.1:100 in their web browser. After 100 seconds, the device automatically logs out User A.

4.5.5.2 Universal Plug and Play (UPnP):

UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.

Both the user's Operating System and the relevant app addition to the router. Windows XP and Windows Me na component is installed), and Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing client from Windows XP in order to support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.

Disable: Check to disable the router's UPnP functionality.

Enable: Check to enable the router's UPnP functionality.

UPnP Port: The default setting is 2800. It is highly recommended that you use this port value. If the value conflicts with other ports already in use you may wish to change the port.

4.5.5.3 SNMP Access Control

Simple Network Management Protocol—software on a PC within the LAN is required to use this function.

SNMP V1 and V2:

Read Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Read Community, and an IP address. This community string is checked against the string entered in the configuration file. Once the string name is matched, you can obtain this IP address and are able to view the data.

Write Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Write Community, and an IP address. This community string is checked against the string entered in the configuration file. Once a string name is matched, users from this IP address are able to view and modify data.

Trap Community: Specify a name and an IP address. This community string is checked against the string entered in the configuration file. Once a string name is matched, users from this IP address are sent SNMP Traps.

SNMP V3:

Specify a name and password for authentication, and define access rights from the identified IP address. Once authentication has succeeded, users from this IP address are able to view and modify data.

SNMP Version: SNMPv2c and SNMPv3

SNMPv2c is the combination of the enhanced protocol

SNMPv2 security. The "c" comes from the fact that SNMPv2c uses the SNMPv1 community string paradigm for "security" but is widely accepted as the SNMPv2 standard.

SNMPv3 is a strong authentication mechanism with fine granularity for remote monitoring.

Traps Supported: Cold Start, Authentication Failure.

VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a group of devices on different physical LAN segments that can communicate with each other as if they were all on the same physical LAN segment. While clients and servers may be located anywhere on a network, they are grouped together by VLAN technology, and broadcasts are sent to devices within the same VL AN.

VLAN function provides you a very convenient way to manage hosts by grouping them based on the physical port. Networking devices belong to different VLAN cannot communicate with each other directly. That means it can enhance the security level of your network.
