Its content filtering features include: · Content filtering by domain or keyword The Model DG814 gateway uses content filtering to enforce your network's Internet access policies. The gateway allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for keywords within Website names or newsgroup names. Logging of inappropriate use You can configure the Model DG814 gateway to log access to Web sites and to e-mail the log to you. You can also configure the gateway to send an immediate alert e-mail message to you whenever a local user attempts to access a blocked Web site. · Security The Model DG814 gateway is equipped with several features designed to maintain security, as described in this section. · PCs Hidden by NAT Network address translation (NAT) opens a temporary path to the Internet for requests originating from the local network. Requests originating from outside the LAN are discarded, preventing users outside the LAN from finding and directly accessing the PCs on the LAN. Port Forwarding with NAT Although NAT prevents Internet locations from directly accessing the PCs on the LAN, the gateway allows you to direct incoming traffic to specific PCs based on the service port number of the incoming request, or to one designated "DMZ" host computer. You can specify forwarding of single ports or ranges of ports. · Autosensing 10/100 Ethernet With its internal, 4-port 10/100 switch, the Model DG814 gateway can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The local LAN interface is autosensing and is capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation. Introduction 1-3 Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway The Model DG814 gateway incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology (also called MDI/MDIX). Each LOCAL Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a 'normal' connection (e.g. connecting to a PC) or an 'uplink' connection (e.g. connecting to a router, switch, or hub). That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as Auto UplinkTM will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection. TCP/IP The Model DG814 gateway supports the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/ IP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). For further information about TCP/IP, refer to Appendix B, "Networks and Routing Basics." · IP Address Sharing by NAT The Model DG814 gateway allows several networked PCs to share an Internet account using only a single IP address, which may be statically or dynamically assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP). This technique, known as Network Address Translation (NAT), allows the use of an inexpensive single-user ISP account. Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP The Model DG814 gateway dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, gateway, and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration of PCs on your local network. DNS Proxy When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the gateway provides its own address as a DNS server to the attached PCs. The gateway obtains actual DNS addresses from the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE and PPP over ATM (PPPoA) PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection. This feature eliminates the need to run a login program such as Entersys or WinPOET on your PC. · · · Easy Installation and Management You can install, configure, and operate the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway within minutes after connecting it to the network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks: 1-4 Introduction Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway · · Animated installation assistant The Resource CD contains an animated installation assistant to guide you through set up. Browser-based management Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure your gateway from almost any type of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. A user-friendly Setup Wizard is provided and online help documentation is built into the browser-based Web Management Interface. Smart Wizard The Model DG814 gateway automatically senses the type of Internet connection, asking you only for the information required for your type of ISP account. Visual monitoring The Model DG814 gateway's front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor its status and activity. Remote Management The Model DG814 gateway can be configured to allow management from selected IP addresses on the WAN. · · · Maintenance and Support NETGEAR offers the following features to help you maximize your use of the Model DG814 gateway: · · Flash memory for firmware upgrade Free technical support seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day Introduction 1-5 Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway 1-6 Introduction Chapter 2 Setting Up the Hardware This chapter describes the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway hardware and provides instructions for installing it.

The Local ports operate at either 10 Mbps (10BASE-T) or 100 Mbps (100BASE-Tx), depending on the Ethernet interface of the attached PC, hub, or switch. For any connection which will operate at 100 Mbps, you must use a Category 5 (Cat 5) rated Ethernet cable, such as the cable included with the gateway. Setting Up the Hardware 2-5 Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway The Model DG814 gateway incorporates a four-port switch for connecting to your local network. To connect the Model DG814 gateway to your LAN: · Connect up to four PCs directly to any of the four Local ports of the gateway using standard Ethernet cables. If your local network consists of more than four computers, you will need to connect your gateway to another hub or switch: · Connect any Local port of your gateway to any port of an Ethernet hub or switch using a standard or crossover Ethernet cable. Because the gateway incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology (also called Auto MDI/MDI-X), it is capable of automatically sensing the polarity of the Ethernet connection. You can therefore connect to the other hub's normal or uplink port using a standard or crossover Ethernet cable. The Local port of your Model DG814 gateway will automatically configure itself properly. Connecting to Your ADSL Service and Telephone Provider The ADSL and telephone connections may vary by region. ADSL through a modular RJ-11 wall jack. Note: The wall jack attached to the ADSL port of the gateway must provide the ADSL signal on the inner pair of wires (pins 2 and 3 of the 4-pin jack). If this is not the case, a swapper (not included) is necessary to move the connection to the inner pair. To install the Model DG814 gateway directly to the wall jack without installing a telephone: 1. 2. Connect the provided telephone cable to the wall jack. Connect the other end of the telephone cable to the ADSL port on the gateway. To install both the Model DG814 gateway and a telephone: 1. 2. 3.

If the port is 10 Mbps, the LED should be yellow. You are now ready to begin configuration of your network, as described in the following chapter. 2-8 Setting Up the Hardware Chapter 3 Preparing Your Network This chapter describes how to prepare your PC network to connect to the Internet through the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway and how to order broadband Internet service from an Internet service provider (ISP). Note: If an ISP technician configured your PC during the installation of a broadband modem, or if you configured it using instructions provided by your ISP, you may need to copy the current configuration information for use in the configuration of your gateway. Write down this information before reconfiguring your PCs. Refer to "Obtaining ISP Configuration Information (Windows)" on page 3-10 or "Obtaining ISP Configuration Information (Macintosh)" on page 3-11 for further information. Preparing Your Personal Computers for IP Networking Personal Computers access the Internet using a protocol called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). Each PC on your network must have TCP/IP installed and selected as its networking protocol. If a Network Interface Card (NIC) is already installed in your PC, then TCP/IP is probably already installed as well. Note: In this chapter, we use the term "PC" to refer to personal computers in general, and not necessarily Windows computers. Most PC operating systems include the software components you need for networking with TCP/ IP: · · Windows® 95 or later includes the software components for establishing a TCP/IP network. Windows 3.1 does not include a TCP/IP component. You need to purchase a third-party TCP/ IP application package such as NetManage Chameleon. Preparing Your Network 3-1 Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway · · Macintosh Operating System 7 or later includes the software components for establishing a TCP/IP network. All versions of UNIX or Linux include TCP/IP components. Follow the instructions provided with your operating system or networking software to install TCP/IP on your computer. In your IP network, each PC and the gateway must be assigned a unique IP addresses. Each PC must also have certain other IP configuration information such as a subnet mask (netmask), a domain name server (DNS) address, and a default gateway address. In most cases, you should install TCP/IP so that the PC obtains its specific network configuration information automatically from a DHCP server during bootup. For a detailed explanation of the meaning and purpose of these configuration items, refer to "Appendix B, "Networks and Routing Basics." The Model DG814 gateway is shipped preconfigured as a DHCP server. The gateway assigns the following TCP/IP configuration information automatically when the PCs are rebooted: · · · PC or workstation IP addresses--192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.254 Subnet mask--255.255.255.0 Gateway address (the gateway)--192.168.0.1 These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks.

Your Internet Account For access to the Internet, you need to contract with an Internet service provider (ISP) for a single-user Internet access account using ADSL. The Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway includes a built-in ADSL modem that connects directly to your ADSL line. 3-8 Preparing Your Network Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway For a single-user Internet account, your ISP supplies TCP/IP configuration information (such as IP address, subnet mask and default gateway) and VPI and VCI multiplexing information for one PC. Your ISP may also provide other login information, such as User Name and Password, in the case where the PPPoE or PPPoA protocol is required. With a typical account, much of the configuration information is dynamically assigned when your PC is first booted up while connected to the ISP, and you will not need to know that dynamic information. In order to share the Internet connection among several computers, your gateway takes the place of the single PC, and you need to configure it with the TCP/IP information that the single PC would normally use. When the gateway's ADSL port is connected, the gateway appears to be a single PC to the ISP. The gateway then allows the PCs on the local network to masquerade as the single PC to access the Internet through the broadband modem. The method used by the gateway to accomplish this is called Network Address Translation (NAT) or IP masquerading. Login Protocols Some ISPs require a special login protocol, in which you must enter a login name and password in order to access the Internet. If you normally log in to your Internet account by running a program such as WinPOET or EnterNet, then your account uses PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). When you configure your gateway, you will need to enter your login name and password in the gateway's configuration menus. After your network and gateway are configured, the gateway will perform the login task when needed, and you will no longer need to run the login program from your PC. It is not necessary to uninstall the login program. Account Information Unless these items are dynamically assigned by the ISP, your ISP should give you the following basic information for your account: · · · · An IP address and subnet mask A gateway IP address, which is the address of the ISP's router One or more domain name server (DNS) IP addresses Host name and domain suffix For example, your account's full server names may look like this: mail.xxx.yyy.com In this example, the domain suffix is xxx.yyy.com. Preparing Your Network 3-9 Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway If any of these items are dynamically supplied by the ISP, your gateway automatically acquires them. If an ISP technician configured your PC during the installation of the broadband modem, or if you configured it using instructions provided by your ISP, you need to copy configuration information from your PC's Network TCP/IP Properties window (or Macintosh TCP/IP Control Panel) before reconfiguring your PC for use with the gateway. These procedures are described next. Obtaining ISP Configuration Information (Windows) As mentioned above, you may need to collect configuration information from your PC so that you can use this information when you configure the Model DG814 gateway. Following this procedure is only necessary when your ISP does not dynamically supply the account information. To get the information you need to configure the gateway for Internet access: 1. 2. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click the Network icon. The Network window opens, which displays a list of installed components. Select TCP/IP, and then click Properties. The TCP/IP Properties dialog box opens. Select the IP Address tab. If an IP address and subnet mask are shown, write down the information. If an address is present, your account uses a fixed (static) IP address. If no address is present, your account uses a dynamically-assigned IP address. Click "Obtain an IP address automatically". 3. 4. 5. Select the Gateway tab. If an IP address appears under Installed Gateways, write down the address. This is the ISP's gateway address. Select the address and then click Remove to remove the gateway address. 6. Select the DNS Configuration tab. If any DNS server addresses are shown, write down the addresses. If any information appears in the Host or Domain information box, write it down. Click Disable DNS. 7. Click OK to save your changes and close the TCP/IP Properties dialog box. You are returned to the Network window. Click OK. Reboot your PC at the prompt. You may also be prompted to insert your Windows CD.

Following this procedure is only necessary when your ISP does not dynamically supply the account information. To get the information you need to configure the gateway for Internet access: 1. From the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then TCP/IP. The TCP/IP Control Panel opens, which displays a list of configuration settings. If the "Configure" setting is "Using DHCP Server", your account uses a dynamically-assigned IP address. In this case, close the Control Panel and skip the rest of this section. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. If an IP address and subnet mask are shown, write down the information. If an IP address appears under Router address, write down the address. This is the ISP's gateway address. If any Name Server addresses are shown, write down the addresses. These are your ISP's DNS addresses. If any information appears in the Search domains information box, write it down. Change the "Configure" setting to "Using DHCP Server". Close the TCP/IP Control Panel. Restarting the Network Once you've set up your computers to work with the gateway, you must reset the network for the devices to be able to communicate correctly. 1. 2. Turn off the Model DG814 gateway, and then turn it on again and wait until the Test light turns off. Restart any computer that is connected to the firewall. Ready for Configuration After configuring all of your PCs for TCP/IP networking and connecting them to the local network of your Model DG814 gateway, you are ready to access and configure the gateway.
