SMCBR18VPN Front Panel: 8 LAN, 1 WAN, and 1 COM port Port Type Description 5 VDC Receptor for power adapter: 5 VDC, 2 A (minimum) WAN This is the connection for the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.
You must first verify that the TCP/IP communi cation protocol is properly in stalled and the computer is configured to get its IP address via the DHCP Server that is built-into this router. If you have not previous ly installed TCP/IP protocols on your client PCs, refer to the following section.
into your CDROM drive and check the correct file location, e.g ., D:win98, D:win9x. (if D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive). 9. Windows may prompt you to restart the PC. If so, click the Yes button. If Windows does not prompt you to restart your com puter, do so to insure your setting s.
6.4 | Config uring a Macintosh Computer You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your screen. This is because these steps and screen shots were creat ed usi ng Mac OS 10.2. Mac OS 7.x and above are all very similar, but may not be identical to Mac OS 10.
7 | Configuring Your Broadband VPN Router Before you attempt to log into the web-based Admi nistration, please verify the following. 1. Your browser is configured properly (s ee below). 2. Disable any firewall or security software that may be running.
Note that there are two different Web user in terfaces, one for general users and one for the system administrator. To log on as an admini strator, enter the system password (default password is smcadmin ) and click the LOGIN button.
Cable Modem The cable modem option allows you to confi gure a host name and MAC Address. The Host Name is optional, but may be required by some ISP s. The default MAC address is set to the WAN’s physical interface on the Router. Use this ad dress when registering for Internet service, and do not change it unl ess required by your ISP.
Fixed-IP xD SL Some xDSL Internet Service Providers may assi gn a fixed (static) IP address. If you have been provided with this information, choose this option and enter th e assigned IP address, gateway IP address, DNS IP addresses, and subnet mask.

7.6 | Advanced S etup - L AN This is the local IP address of the router. All networked comput ers must use the LAN IP address of the router as their d efault Gateway. However, if necessary, it can be changed. Here you can configure the LAN IP address fo r the router and enable/disable the DHCP server for dynamic client addre ss allocation.
You also have the option to configure more ad vanc ed settings by clicking the “More” button. You can configure the router’s DHCP server to give out specific Primary and Second ary DNS, Primary and Secondary W INS, and an alternate Gat eway (in the event that the rout er is not the Internet gateway).
7.7 | Advanced Setup - NAT 7.7.1 | Virtu al Server The firewall of the router filters out unrecogni zed packets to protect your intranet. This means that all network hosts are invisible to th e outside world. However, some of the hosts can be made accessible by enabling th e Virtual Se rver mapping.
For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21 ) at 192.168.123.1, a We b server (port 80) at 192.168.123.2, and a VPN server at 192.168.123.6, you need to specify the f ollowing virtual server mapping as shown in the table below: Service Port Server IP Enable 21 192.
For a full list of ports and the services that run on them, see http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers 7.7.3 | Virtu al Computer Use the “Virtual Computer” option to maintain th e privacy and security of the local net work.
You can select one of the two filtering policies: • Allow all to pass except those that match the specified rules • Deny all to pass except those that match the specif ied rules You can apply up to 8 rules for each direction, inbound or outbound.
7.8.3 | MAC Filter MAC Address Filtering allows you assign differe nt access rights to various users and you can also assign a specific IP address to a certain MAC address. Select the Enable radio button to enable the MA C Address Cont rol. All of the settings on this screen take effect when Enable is ch ecked.
7.8.4 | Schedul e Rule Set scheduled times to be used to control what time of day a service or set of services is enabled. Use this section to configure up to 10 Schedule Rules to lim it network access based on time and day. To create a schedule rule click the [Add Schedule Rule .
The Schedule Rule screen appears. It now shows your setting for Rule 1. If you need to make changes to your setting, click the Edit button. If you want to delete Rule 1, click the Delet e button.
7.8.6 | DMZ If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the NAT firewall, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a Virtual DMZ Host. 7.9 | Advanced S etup - VPN 7.
• VPN: VPN protects network information from intruders. However, it greatly decreases network throughput. Enable it onl y when a security tu nnel is absolutely necessary. This feature is disabled by default. • Max. Number of Tunnels: Set the number of tunnel s that are allowed to be in operation simultaneously.
Options • Select IKE proposal: Click this button to se tup a set of frequently used IKE p roposals for the dedicated tunnel. • Select IPSec proposal: Click this button to setup a set of frequently used IPSec proposals for the dedicated tunnel. The tunnel name is equal to the name you c onfigured on the p revious page of VPN settings.

The first character of the name with the value of 0x00 stands for the IPSec proposal that is not available. • DH Group - Three groups can be selected: o Group 1 (MODP768) o Group 2 (MODP1024) o Group 5 (MODP1536) However, you can also select None.
7.9.4 | Dyna mic VPN When using the VPN Dynamic IP Setting, the r outer functions as a Dynamic VPN server. The Dynamic VPN server does not check the VPN client IP information - this means that you can build a VPN tunnel with a VPN gateway from any remote host, regardless of the IP information.
7.9.5 | PPTP/L2TP Server Point-to-Point and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol s (PPTP / L2TP) allows the secure remote access over the Internet by simply dialing in a local point provid ed by an ISP.
7.10 | Advanced Setu p - SNMP The Simple Network Management Protocol (S NMP) lets you manage a compu ter network remotely by polling and setting terminal values and monitoring network events. • Enable SNMP: You can check Local, Remote, or both options to enable the SNMP function.
7.11 | Advanced Setup - ROUTING The Routing Table lets you determine which phy sical interface address to use for outgoing IP data grams. If you have more than one router and subnet, you will have to enable the rout ing table to allow packets to find the routing path.
7.12 | Advanced Setup - MISCELLANEOUS If you experience difficulties accessing an FTP server that is running on a port other than 21, you can enter that port in the “Non-standard FTP port” and apply the changes. Wake-on-LAN is a technology that lets you power up a netwo rked router remotely.
7.13 | Advanced Setup – DISPLAY STATUS Enable the Display Status option to view the W AN connectivity settings on the login page. When this is enabled, the login page appears as follows: 7.14 | DDNS (Dynami c DNS) Dynamic DNS provides users on the Internet a method to tie their domain name(s) to computers or servers.
7.15 | UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Pla y) The Universal Plug and Play architecture offers p ervasive pe er-to-peer network connecti vity of PCs of all form factors, intelligent app liances, and wireless devices.
7.17 | Status You can use the Status screen to see the connection status for Barricade's WAN/LAN interfaces, firmware and hard ware version numbers, any illega l attempts to access your network, as well as information on all DHCP clie nt PCs currently connected to your network.

9 | Troubleshooting A. Verifying your connection to the router If you are unable to access the Router’s we b-bas ed administration pages, then you may not be properly connected or configured. To determine your TCP/IP configuration status please follow the steps below: 1.
F. I am having problem s establish ing a PPPoE xDSL WAN connecti on Some ISP’s require you to enter the domain name in addition to your username and password. For instance, for SBC Global, enter username@sbcglo bal.net. For Ameritech users, enter username@a meritech.
J. I forgot my password and can no longer log into the ro uter. You should restore your router to factory defaults via its hard ware reset button. Locate the reset button (to the right of the power input). While the device is powered on, use a paper clip to depress this button for about 5-7 sec onds and then release.
