CPE device Basics
1. Check power connection to system.
2. Verify power light status in system.
3. Check connections for networking interface(s) and its light status.
4. If you are unable to access the CPE device's user interface, please check your computer's network settings - verify that IP settings are of same subnet. Try ping test from your computer to router. (E.g. ping 192.168.1.1)
5. Ensure that the latest firmware is installed in the CPE device

Firewall
The CPE device provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters to limit the risk of intrusion and defending against a wide array of common hacker attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a demilitarized zone (DMZ). top

Discard PING from WAN side
When this feature is enabled, hosts on the WAN cannot ping the CPE device.
top

Client Filtering
You can filter Internet access for local clients based on IP addresses, application types, (i.e., HTTP port), and time of day.
For example, one can configure the LAN clients in the address range 192.168.2.50-99 could be permanently restricted from using FTP (Port 21), while clients in the address range 192.168.2.110-119 can be blocked from browsing the Internet (i.e. HTTP Port 80) from Monday through Friday.

IPv6 Filtering

top

Packet Filtering
You can block access to your box by providing details of the packets to be blocked. These parameters include any or all of source IP/port, Destination IP/port, Protocol, Ingress/egress interface. You should be carefull while configuring these rules, as this can render your box inaccessible!

Virtual Server
If you configure the CPE device 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 address. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the CPE device redirects the external service request to the appropriate server.

Example:

    ID Private IP Private Port Type Public Port Comment
    1 192.168.2.20 80 TCP 200 Web Server
    2 192.168.2.12 21 TCP 333 FTP Server
    3 192.168.2.28 23 TCP 455 Telnet Server
top



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

QoS Settings The CPE device provides IP-QoS for prioritizing the packet traffic to WAN links. The QoS functionality can be controlled (enable or disable) by selecting the option here. The default DSCP marking configuration marks the DSCP to selected level for all traffic which is not matching any QoS classification rules.
top

QoS Queue Config The queues for IP-QoS can be managed here. The lower numbers of precedence denote higher priority. It is recommended to use default pre-configured values of queues for getting optimum QoS in CPE device.
top

QoS Classifier Config The QoS flows are identified by classification stage of QoS. The packet header fields can be configured for matching the QoS rules. The classfication rules are looked upon in order so needs to be carefully added. It is required to associate an appropriate queue of precedence to classification entries for getting right QoS prioritization in CPE device.

IGMP SNOOPING
IGMP Snooping is the ability by which multicast data (at Layer2 bridge layer) are not flooded but selectively forwarded only through interfaces on which there exist atleast one host interested in that multicast data. Snooping works in 2 modes, namely General mode = IGMPv2 Snooping only. Filter mode = IGMPv3 Snooping with backward compatibility for IGMPv2. Any one of the modes can be set at a given time.
top

IGMP PROXY
IGMP Proxy enables multicast forwarding based upon IGMP multicast group membership information. The proxy builds this information by processing the group membership reports (i.e. IGMP Join/Leave messages) that a multicast host on the LAN side may send.
IGMP Proxy supports configuration of more that one Routed WAN interfaces as its upstream interfaces.
top

IGMP ADVANCED
Fast leave is the option by which a host receiving multicast data is removed immediately when it desires to no longer receive and requests to leave. If Fast Leave is not set, then the host will be removed after some interval.

Group Query Interval is the interval between which the Proxy sends periodic IGMP queries.

Group Query Response Interval is the maximum time within which an IGMP response is expected to be received by the Proxy after it has sent a query.

Group Last Membership Query Interval is the MAX Response Time used to calculate the MAX Resp Code inserted into Group-Specific Queries sent by the Proxy in response to Leave Group messages.

Group Last Membership Query Count is the number of Group-Specific Queries sent before the Proxy assumes there are no local members.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
top

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically configures the IPv4 settings of connected computer to CPE.
top

DNS Server Address DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name and one or more IP addresses. A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested into your Internet browser, the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned.
top

DSL Modem DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.
top

Ethernet A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 100 million bits per second (Mbps).
top

IP Address IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that identifies an single, unique Internet computer host. Example: 192.34.45.8.
top

ISP Gateway Address (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. This address is required only when using a cable or DSL modem.
top

ISP Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.
top

LAN Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN. The LAN ports in device are of RJ48 type.
top

MAC Address MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network.
top

NAT Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. The NAT capability of the CPE device, allows you to access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.
Network Address Translation can be used to give multiple users access to the Internet with a single user account, or to map the local address for an IP server(such as Web or FTP) to a public 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. NAT must be enabled to provide multi-user access to the Internet or to use the Virtual Server function.
top

PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a method of secure data transmission originally created for dial-up connections. PPPoE is for Ethernet connections.
top

Subnet Mask A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet.
top

TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet.
