Network Address Translation (NAT) with port forwarding or DMZ default host. Logging via syslog and SNMP. NTP Client - to synchronise the router's internal clock with NTP time servers.

Remote Management of the router using web/telnet. The package is quite comprehensive and includes everything you need to plug a computer with an Ethernet adaptor and get on- line using a wires- only ADSL connection. If you also want to use other devices on the phone line, you will also require a splitter (or "microfilter") for each other extension (telephones, faxes, Sky Digital boxes, etc.) at a cost of around £1. You should be able to order these with the router from any reputable supplier. The kit includes.
External PSU. RJ1. BT- RJ1. 1 adaptor for those not using splitters. Straight RJ4. 5 CAT5 cable for connection to one computer. Documentation/Tools CD. Antennae (for wireless connection).

The Router. The router comes with a "Quick start guide" which is very easy to understand using clear diagrams (see below) to illustrate how the router connects to your network, its role in a virtual private network and how to set it up. Diagram from the Quick start guide showing how the Vigor connects to your local network. Firstly, I have to admit I'm not a great fan of manuals or automated setup tools. In fact, I only use them if I can't get something to work without them. True to my style, I tried setting it up without referring to any documentation, but I soon realised it would be faster to look up the initial IP address than try to guess it and sure enough on page 1.
Quick start guide, there it was: 1. As the router doesn't have a serial port, the only way to configure it is using a network connection (although untested, this should be possible using a wireless adaptor by setting the SSID to 'default') but this is the case with many routers. The Quick start guide also includes step- by- step troubleshooting instructions for setting the router up on various Microsoft Windows versions and the Apple Macintosh OS9 and OSX operating systems. Users of Microsoft Windows should find the setup of the router even easier with the Smart Start Wizard on the CD- ROM which sets up the connection to the router via the ARP protocol making it easy to install if your local network does not currently use the 1. IP addresses. On the downside, I failed to get this to work under Windows XP and the message "Your windows not support this tool" message is shown.
This simply means you have to configure the IP address manually and won't affect the use of the router beyond the two minutes it takes to change the IPs. If you already have an existing network, use the Smart Start Wizard to configure the router with an IP address. Otherwise, just let your computer obtain an IP using DHCP. Once configured, you need to do some basic steps on the web setup. Go to the router's website (http: //1.
IP you have assigned is). You will be asked for a username (admin) and password (leave blank) after which you will be presented with the main menu. We now need to proceed through the basic setup. The first step is to give your router a system password to prevent anyone else tampering with it. Click the "Administrator Password Setup" link and set up a new password. Once done, click OK.
You can change TCP/IP and DHCP settings at this point also if required (e. IP ranges that the built- in DHCP server assigns). Next, configure the wireless access point, whether or not you intend to use it (see more on security below). You need to change the SSID, configure access control lists, and if possible, set up WEP encryption. Your ISP Connection. The final step in the basic router configuration is to set up the connection to your ISP who will have probably have provided you with two important pieces of information, a username (something@isp- name. Click the "Internet Access Setup" option, and select "Auto Detect ATM/DSL Settings".
Follow the prompts until it asks you whether you have a fixed IP or not, at which point click Cancel. It should now have detected the settings. Settings for the BT's ADSL network. You can set/edit these manually when adding your ISP account details. Type in the ISP name as well as the Username/Password provided by them. Also, you probably want to tick the "Always On" box as there's no reason to disconnect the router when you're not using the Internet.
Ignore the fixed IP settings as an ISP will send then to you each time you login anyway. The ISP setup screen. Once you have finished, click OK and then proceed to the Online Status screen (link off the main menu) to see whether you are connected. If not, click "Dial PPPo. A" and wait for the screen to update. Once connected, your screen should look something like this.
The Online Status screen. Having connected up to the Internet, now would be a good time to set the clock of the Vigor router. You can update it using your computer's time, or configure it to use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. A list of these can be found here.
Unfortunately the Vigor doesn't allow you to use a hostname (e. IP address and enter it into the Time Setup section of the web configuration.
If you need to run servers behind your router, now is the time to set up any port forwardings, etc. If you are having difficulties, make sure you take a look at the manual and troubleshooting guide on the CD- ROM (or downloadable here) as they provide answers to many questions you may have (including getting multiple IPs to work, why Half- Life or Counterstike aren't working, etc.).
Key Features. Firewall. The router features a packet- level firewall that inspects each packet and makes a determination as to whether it will be permitted to pass through. This allows the router to block unsolicited packets by keeping a log of the active connections.
It also has built- in denial of service and anti- IP spoofing protection and allows security alerts to be logged to a syslog server (see below). A default 'deny' policy (although port 1. PPTP is allowed) ensures that when the router is powered up, it does not allow inbound connections although the wireless connection remains insecure until you manually either turn it off, or set up access lists, encryption, etc. The IP filter/firewall is quite complex allowing a number of rulesets, etc.
I am slightly disappointed with. It should offer an easier to use interface to set up simple filters as many users don't require long complex lists of rules. Help is not far away at http: //www. Wireless. One of the key features of the router is the built in 8.
Wireless Access Point enabling users in the vicinity to use laptops or desktops equipped with a suitable wireless card to access the Internet and each other us without cabling. This is a particularly attractive feature in offices with roaming users, adding capacity temporarily and many other situations. The latency increases by about 2ms (1.
DSL situations) and is hardly noticeable, although gamers may benefit from using a wired network. Also, reports indicate problems with Bluetooth devices nearby, although I didn't have any problems during the review. However, you should proceed with caution in implementing a wireless network- -There is a significant danger in allowing outsiders access both to your internal network thereby bypassing firewalls and perimeter security, and in allowing abuse of your Internet connectivity. A variety of security measures are available in the Vigor to help you protect against this.
Firstly, you can restrict access to specific MAC addresses of network cards used in your office.
