Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can browse the Web at the same time. 1-3 APPLICATIONS · Virtual Server If you have a fixed IP address, you can set up the Wireless Barricade Plus to act as a virtual host using network address translation (NAT). Remote users access various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number), the Wireless Barricade Plus 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. · DMZ Host Support Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. · Security The Wireless Barricade Plus supports security features that can deny Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services the administrator does not want to serve. The Wireless Barricade Plus' firewall can also block 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. · Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) Stateful Packet Inspection is one of the firewall features provided by the Wireless Barricade Plus. The SPI ensures that the data coming into your network was requested by an end node computer on your network. The Wireless Barricade Plus examines the incoming data and compares it to a database of trusted information. As traffic leaves the network, it is defined by certain characteristics. Incoming information is then compared to these sets of characteristics. If the incoming data matches the predefined set of characteristics, 1-4 INTRODUCTION the incoming traffic is allowed. If no match is found, the incoming traffic is discarded. · Virtual Private Network (VPN) The Wireless Barricade Plus supports two of the most commonly used VPN protocols ­ PPTP and IPSec. These protocols allow remote users to establish a secure connection to their corporate network. If your service provider supports VPNs, then any of these protocols can be used to create an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for passing secure data over the Internet (i.e., a traditionally shared data network). The VPN protocols supported by the Wireless Barricade Plus are briefly described below. · Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) ­ 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. IP Security (IPSec) ­ Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using digital certificates for device authentication. · 1-5 APPLICATIONS 1-6 CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION Before installing the BarricadeTM Plus Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router, verify that you have all the items listed under "Package Contents."
