35

4.3.4 UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows several devices (such as routers, televisions, stereo systems, game consoles, and cellular phones), to be controlled via an IP-based network with or without a central control through a gateway. UPnP connects PCs of all form factors, providing a seamless network for remote configuration and data transfer. Using UPnP, a new network device is discovered automatically. Once connected to the network, devices can be remotely configured to support P2P applications, interactive gaming, video conferencing, and web or proxy servers. Unlike Port forwarding, which involves manually configuring port settings, UPnP automatically configures the router to accept incoming connections and direct requests to a specific PC on the local network.

36

4.3.5 Virtual Server / Port Forwarding

Virtual Server is a method to direct network traffic from the Internet to a specific port or a specific range of ports to a device or number of devices on your local network. If you configure the LTE Router 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 LTE Router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).

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,byjustenteringtheIPaddressprovidedbythe ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them.

NOTE: The more common TCP service ports include: HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110. A list of ports is maintained at http://www. iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.

37

4.3.6 DMZ

Virtual DMZ exposes one client to the Internet, allowing this client to receive all inbound packets directed to your Local Area Network. Inbound traffic from the Internet is usually discarded and routed to a specific client only if port forwarding or a port trigger has been configured on the network. In a DMZ configuration, one network client receives all inbound packets. Setting up DMZ on a network is useful when you need incoming ports open or you want to host a domain, web, or e-mail server.

CAUTION: Opening all the ports on a client to the Internet makes the network vulnerable to outside attacks. Please be aware of the security risks involved in using DMZ.

38

To set up DMZ: 1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >

DMZ tab. 2. Configure the setting below. When done, click Apply.

Enable DMZ: Key in the last digit of the clients LAN IP address that will provide the DMZ service and be exposed on the Internet. Ensure that the server client has a static IP address. Tick Enable.

To remove DMZ:

1. Untick Enable, and click Apply.

39

4.3.7 DDNS

Setting up DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) allows you to access the router outside your network through the provided DDNS service. The DDNS service, which maps a domain name to a static or dynamic IP address, is powered by DynDNS.org. With a DDNS connection, you can host a website, an email server, an FTP site, and other Internet apps in your local area network even when using dynamic IP addresses for the domain names.

To set up DDNS: 1. Select DDNS Setting from the dropdown list and click Web

Site to go to the DynDNS.org web site. 2. Complete the registration on the DDNS web site. 3. Enter the username, password and domain name of your DDNS

settings. 4. Click Update Dynamic DNS to update your IP address

configuration. 5. When done, click Apply.

40

4.4 Firewall

4.4.1 General

To set up basic Firewall settings: 1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings >

Firewall > General tab. 2. On the Enable Firewall field, select Enable. 3. On the Respond Ping Request from WAN field, select Yes to

block hackers from pinging devices in your network from the Internet.

4. Click Apply.

41

4.4.2 MAC Filter

When MAC Filter is enabled, only those MAC addresses in the list are allowed or denied access to your network.

To set up a MAC filter: 1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings >

Firewall > MAC Filter tab. 2. On the Enable MAC Filter field, select Enable. 3. Enter an MAC address and click the button. 4. Click Apply.

42

4.4.3 Intrusion Detection

Intrusion Detection blocks and prevents malicious attacks or intrusions from harming your network and the devices connected to it. Your wireless router prevents Dos attachs such as IP Spoofing, Ping of Death, IP with Zero Length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN floodng.

Intrusion Detection Feature

SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection: When this item is enabled, all the incoming packets from the WAN services are blocked except for those types selected in the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) section. RIP defect: When this item is enabled, the router will not block RIP request packets from the WAN services, preventing the overflow of input queues due to packet accumulation.

Stateful Packet Inspection

Select Yes to allow the specific type of traffic to pass through the firewall or No to block the type of traffic.

43

4.4.4 Access Control

Access Control allows you to specify the clients or services that are allowed or blocked to the WAN port service. The access control rules are executed with the specified schedules.

To set up a network service filter: 1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings >

Firewall > Access Control tab. 2. On the Enable Filtering Function field, select Enable. 3. Click the button to launch the Add New Rule screen.

44

4. Enter a description of the clients. 5. Enter the clients IP range to block the specified clients. 6. Define a scheduling rule. You can select Always Blocking or

specify the day and time when the filters will be active. 7. To specify a network service to filter, select a network service

and check Blocking on Client PC Service to block the pre- defined network service.

8. On the User-defined services field, select a protocol type and enter the clients IP ranges to manually define the clients that will be blocked.

9. Click Apply.

45

4.4.5 URL Filter

You can specify keywords or web addresses to prevent access to specific URLs.

NOTE: The URL Filter is based on a DNS query. If a network client has already accessed a website such as http://www.abcxxx.com, then the website will not be blocked (a DNS cache in the system stores previously visited websites). To resolve this issue, clear the DNS cache before setting up the URL Filter.

To set up a URL filter: 1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings >

Firewall > URL Filter tab. 2. Enter a URL keyword. 3. Click Apply.

46

4.7 Network Tools

4.7.1 Ping

A ping test determines the latency (communication delay) between ASUS router and another server (such as www.google. com) on a network by sending multiple ICMP packets and listening for the replies. Enter a host name or IP address to perform a Ping. The test results display the shortest, the average and the maximum round-trip times and packet loss rate between hosts.

51

4.7.2 Traceroute

The Traceroute test (also known as trace route or tracert) will trace the route that test packets take from one server destination to another. The test results provide a list of hosts or IP addresses showing the route taken by the test packets starting from the selected monitoring location to the destination Domain or IP (such as www.google.com) . Common uses of the Traceroute test are network troubleshooting and to help identify routing problems or firewalls that may be blocking access to a web site.

52

4.7.3 WAN Capture

The WAN Capture allows you to capture all packets that pass through the Mobile Broadband Network.

To capture your routers WAN packets: 1. To start capturing the packets, click Start. The browser starts to

download the pktDump.cap file to your computer. 2. To stop capturing the packets, click Stop. The browser

terminates capturing the packets and completes downloading the pktDump.cap file.

NOTE: An external application like Wireshark is required to view the captured packets in the file.

Please see The GNU General Public License for the exact terms and conditions of this license. We include a copy of the GPL with every CD shipped with our product.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

60

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundations software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

61

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each authors protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyones free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

Terms & conditions for copying, distribution, & modification 0. This License applies to any program or other work which

contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The Program, below, refers to any such program or work, and a work based on the Program means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term modification.) Each licensee is addressed as you.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act

62

of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Programs source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute

63

the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,underSection2)inobjectcodeorexecutableformunderthe terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine- readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your

64

cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you receivedtheprograminobjectcodeorexecutableformwith such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with themajorcomponents(compiler,kernel,andsoon)ofthe operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

Ifdistributionofexecutableorobjectcodeismadeby offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the objectcode.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.

65

Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Programsubjecttothesetermsandconditions.Youmaynot impose any further restrictions on the recipients exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If,asaconsequenceofacourtjudgmentorallegationofpatent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance

66

on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/ donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and any later version, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission.

For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

67

NO WARRANTY 11 BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE,

THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM AS IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
