INTRODUCTION
Applications
Many advanced networking features are provided by the SMC7901BRA:
• Wired LAN
The ADSL Router provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps 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 ADSL providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to establish
communications with end users, the ADSL Router includes built-in
clients for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these
services on your computer.
• Shared IP Address
The ADSL Router 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 ADSL Router 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 ADSL
Router 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.
1-3
APPLICATIONS
• 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 ADSL Router 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 ADSL Router’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.
• Virtual Private Network (VPN Pass-through)
The ADSL Router supports three of the most commonly used VPN
protocols – PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. The VPN protocols supported
by the ADSL Router 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.

CONFIGURING THE
CLIENT PC
After completing hardware setup by connecting all your network devices,
you need to configure your computer to connect to the Barricade ADSL
Router. First determine how your ISP issues your IP address. Many ISPs
issue these numbers automatically using Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP). Other ISPs provide a static IP address and associated
numbers, which you must enter manually. How your ISP assigns your IP
address determines how you need to configure your computer.
Depending on your operating system see:
this section for Windows 95/98/Me configuration.
“Configuring Your Computer in Windows NT 4.0” on page 3-9,
“Configuring Your Computer in Windows 2000” on page 3-14,

WAN
WAN
Specify the WAN connection parameters provided by your Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
The ADSL Router can be connected to your ISP in one of the following
ways:
• ATM PVC
• Clone MAC
ATM PVC
The ADSL Router uses ATM as its WAN interface. Protocols including
1483 Routing, 1483 Bridging, MAC Encapsulated Routing (MER), PPPoA
and PPPoE with LLC-SNAP and VC-Mux encapsulations are supported
for each ATM PVC. The ADSL Router supports up to 8 ATM PVCs. Click
on each ATM VC for WAN configuration.
4-21
See the table below for a description of the parameters.
Description Click on the VC to set the values for the connection.
VPI/VCI Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI).
Encapsulation Specifies how to handle multiple protocols at the ATM transport
layer.
• VC-MUX: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Virtual
Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation) allows only one
protocol running per virtual circuit with less overhead.
• LLC: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Logical Link
Control (LLC) allows multiple protocols running over one
virtual circuit (using slightly more overhead).
Protocol Protocol used for the connection.
4-22
WAN
ATM Interface
Clicking on the ATM VC brings up the following screen.
4-23
See the table below for a description of the parameters.
Protocol • Disable: Disables the connection.
• 1483 Bridging: Bridging is a standardized layer 2
technology. It is typically used in corporate networks to
extend the physical reach of a single LAN segment and
increase the number of stations on a LAN without
compromising performance. Bridged data is
encapsulated using the RFC1483 protocol to enable data
transport.
• PPPoA: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM is a method
of encapsulating data for transmission to a far point.
• 1483 Routing: 1483 Routing allows a simple, low-cost
connection to the Internet via a standard Ethernet port.
The router looks up the network address for each packet
seen on the LAN port. If the address is listed in the
routing table as local, it is filtered. If the address is listed
under the ADSL port, it is forwarded. Or if the address
is not found, then it is automatically forwarded to the
default router (i.e., the ADSL router at the head end).
VPI/VCI See Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit Identifier
(VCI). Data flows are broken up into fixed length cells, each of
which contains a Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) that identifies
the path between two nodes, and a Virtual Circuit Identifier
(VCI) that identifies the data channel within that virtual path.
Each virtual circuit maintains a constant flow of cells between
the two end points. When there is no data to transmit, empty
cells are sent. When data needs to be transmitted, it is
immediately inserted into the cell flows.
Encapsulation Shows the packet encapsulation type.
Packet encapsulation specifies how to handle multiple
protocols at the ATM transport layer.
• VC-MUX: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Virtual
Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation) allows only one
protocol running per virtual circuit with less overhead.
• LLC: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Logical Link
Control allows multiple protocols running over one
virtual circuit (using slightly more overhead).

IP Address Pool
Start IP Specify the start IP address of the DHCP pool. Do not include
the gateway address of the ADSL Router in the client address
pool. (See “TCP/IP Configuration” on page 3-2). If you
attempt to include the ADSL Router gateway address
(192.168.2.1 by default) in the DHCP pool, an error dialog box
will appear. If you change the pool range, make sure the first
three octets match the gateway’s IP address, i.e.,
192.168.2.xxx.
End IP Specify the end IP address of the DHCP pool.
Domain Name If your network uses a domain name, enter it here. Otherwise,
leave this field blank.
Remember to configure your client PCs for dynamic address allocation.

(See “TCP/IP Configuration” on page 3-2 for details.)
4-28
NAT
NAT
Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming,
videoconferencing, Internet telephony, and others. 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.
Address Mapping
Use Address Mapping to allow a limited number of public IP addresses to

be translated into multiple private IP addresses for use on the internal
LAN network. This also hides the internal network for increased privacy
and security.
4-29
Virtual Server
Using this feature, you can put PCs with public IPs and PCs with private
IPs in the same LAN area.
If you configure the ADSL 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 ADSL 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, 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.
4-30
NAT
Special Applications
Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet
telephony and others, require multiple connections. These applications
cannot work with Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled. If you
need to run applications that require multiple connections, use the
following screen to specify the additional public ports to be opened for
each application.
Specify the public port number normally associated with an application in

the Trigger Port field. Set the protocol type to TCP or UDP, then enter the
ports that the application requires. The ports may be in the format 7, 11,
57, or in a range, e.g., 72-96, or a combination of both, e.g., 7, 11, 57,
72-96.
4-31
Popular applications requiring multiple ports are listed in the Popular

Applications field. From the drop-down list, choose the application and
then choose a row number to copy this data into.
Note: Choosing a row that already contains data will overwrite the
current settings.

route table. It does not participate in sending route
broadcasts.
4-36
ROUTING
Version Sets the RIP version to use on this interface.
Poison Reverse A method for preventing loops that would cause
endless retransmission of data traffic.
Authentication Required • None: 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 Code Password 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.
4-37
Routing Table
Flags Indicates 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 Destination IP address.
Address
Netmask The 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.
Gateway The IP address of the router at the next hop to which frames are
forwarded.
Interface The local interface through which the next hop of this route is
reached.
Metric When 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
Firewall
The ADSL Router’s firewall enables access control of client PCs, 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. The firewall does not
significantly affect system performance and we advise leaving it enabled to
protect your network.
Note: After you check the radio button in the “Enable or disable Firewall
features” field, you must click the SAVE SETTINGS button to
display the list of firewall features.
4-39
Access Control
Access Control allows users to define the outgoing traffic permitted or

not-permitted through the WAN interface. In the example above, all
incoming and outgoing emails are blocked. The default is to permit all
outgoing traffic. (See the following page for details.)
The ADSL Router can also limit the access of hosts within the local area
network (LAN). The MAC Filtering Table allows the ADSL Router to
enter up to 32 MAC addresses that are not allowed access to the WAN
port.

Intrusion Detection
The ADSL Router’s firewall inspects packets at the application layer,
maintains TCP and UDP session information including timeouts and
number of active sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent
certain types of network attacks such as Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks.
4-46
FIREWALL
Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called 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 ADSL Router protects against DoS attacks including: Ping of Death
(Ping flood) attack, SYN flood attack, IP fragment attack (Teardrop
Attack), Brute-force attack, Land Attack, IP Spoofing attack, IP with zero
length, TCP null scan (Port Scan Attack), UDP port loopback, Snork
Attack.
Note: The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so

we advise enabling the prevention features to protect your
network.
4-47
Parameter Defaults Description

Enable SPI and Yes The Intrusion Detection feature of the ADSL
Anti-DoS firewall Router limits the access of incoming traffic at the
protection WAN port. When the Stateful Packet Inspection
(SPI) feature is turned on, all incoming packets are
blocked except those types marked with a check in
the Stateful Packet Inspection section at the top of
the screen.
Stateful Packet This option allows you to select different
Inspection application types that are using dynamic port
numbers. If you wish to use Stateful Packet
Inspection (SPI) for blocking 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, and TFTP Service.
It is called a “stateful” packet inspection because it
examines the contents of the packet to determine
the state of the communication; 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 a 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.

Upstream: Maximum reduction in the strength of the upstream signal.
Downstream: Maximum reduction in the strength of the downstream

Fast Path FEC There are two latency paths that may be used: fast and
Correction interleaved. For either path a forward error correction (FEC)
scheme is employed to ensure higher data integrity. For
maximum noise immunity, an interleaver may be used to
supplement FEC.
Interleaved Path An interleaver is basically a buffer used to introduce a delay,
FEC Correction allowing for additional error correction techniques to handle
noise. Interleaving slows the data flow and may not be
optimal for real-time signals such as video transmission.
Fast Path CRC Indicates the number of Fast Path Cyclic Redundancy Check
Error errors.
Interleaved Path Indicates the number of Interleaved Path Cyclic Redundancy
