Chapter1 Introduction The ADSL Router provides home connectivity to an ADSL service provider network over an ADSL/Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) physical layer. The router can run upstream maximum transmission rates of 640Kbps and downstream maximum transmission rates of 8Mbps. The actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wire, distance from the central office and the type of ADSL service subscribed. A 10BaseT interface is provided for connection to an Ethernet LAN or Ethernet-equipped PC, and this router is easy to install and to configure. 1.1 Overview The Conexant AccessRunner CX82310 Single-Chip ADSL Router is optimised to address the growing demand for high-speed Internet access, and it does so as a single, highly-integrated and cost-effective solution. Featuring a USB 1.1-compliant interface and an IEEE 802.3-compliant Ethernet MAC interface to provide connectivity options, the CX82310 does not rely on host PC drivers, and thus is not limited by them. The result is extreme ease-of-use with active auto selection of the interface and simultaneous operation of both USB and Ethernet. All setup and provisioning is accomplished via a simple intuitive Web interface which further enhances the user experience. The CX82310 is built upon a scalable architecture and is fully compliant with full-rate ADSL (T1.413 Issue 2 and G.dmt standards) and the ‘splitterless?G.Lite (G.992.2) standards, including Annex A (ADSL over POTS) and Annex B (ADSL over ISDN). This broad level of compliance ensures that products based on the AccessRunner can address the existing installed base and continued deployment of ADSL lines. Telephone companies, for example, can deploy full-rate, splitterless full-rate as well as G.lite to the consumer. A single-chip router, the CX82310 allows an “always-on?high-speed broadband connection to the Internet. It uses existing twisted-pair telephone lines to deliver data rates at more than 100 times the speed of conventional dial-up modems, and without the interruptions that can plague telephone service. Data transfer rates of up to 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream make it the ideal solution for high-bandwidth applications for corporate networks, Internet and video delivery. Networking support includes both bridge and router modes. The router mode includes advanced features such as Network Address Translation (NAT), Dynamic Host Protocol (DCHP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2) processor, ADSL DMT Engine, Analogue Front End (AFE) and Line Driver. Through the use of a flash file system, firmware upgrades are easily managed. This allows for simple, reliable product updates or feature enhancements. A high-performance, 16-bit parallel expansion bus is available for additional functionality. This expansion bus provides a glueless interface to PCMCIA 802.11b wireless system. Additionally, the expansion bus can be used to interface to a V.92/V.90 backup system. 1.2 Features ADSL Compliance - Compliant with ADSL standards Full-rate ANSI.413 Issue 2 and ITU G.dmt (G.992.1) standards Splitter less ITU G.lite (G.992.2) specification Annex A (ADSL over POTS) and Annex B (ADSL over ISDN) - DMT modulation and demodulation - Full-rate adaptive modem Maximum downstream rate of 8 Mbps Maximum upstream rate of 1 Mbps - Tone detection for low power mode - Supports splitter less ADSL implementation - Supports Dying Gasp - Interoperable with all major DSLAM equipment ATM Protocols - WAN mode support: PPP over ATM (RFC 2364) and PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) - LAN mode support: bridged/routed Ethernet over ATM (RFC 1483) and classical IP over ATM (RFC 1577) - ATM Forum UNI 3.1/4.0 PVC - Up to 8 VCs (virtual circuits) - ATM SAR (segmentation and reassembly) - ATM AALC (adaption layer type 5) - OAM F4/F5 Bridge Mode - Ethernet to ADSL self learning Transparent Bridging (IEEE 802.1D) - Supports up to 128 MAC learning addresses Router Mode - IP routing-RIPv2 - Static routing - DNS Proxy - Port Forwarding - DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server and client - NAT (network address translation) - MAPT (network address and port translation) - ICMP (Internet control message protocol) - Simultaneous USB and Ethernet operation Wireless Features - Support 802.11b Wireless Access Point - Support 128-Bit and 64-Bit WEP encryption - WiFi compliance - Operating range - Indoors: 30m (100ft.) @ 11Mbps / 50m (165ft.) @ 5.5Mbps 70m (230ft.) @ 2Mbps / 91m (300ft.) @ 1Mbps Security - User authentication for PPP - PAP (password authentication protocol) - CHAP (challenge authentication protocol) - Password protected system management Ethernet Interface - Compliant with IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u 10/100 Mbps HTTP Web-Based Management - Firmware upgrade via FTP - Customizable Web pages - WAN and LAN side connection statistics - Configuration of static routes and routing table - Password protected access - Selection of bridge or router mode - PPP user ID and password - Configuration of VCs (virtual circuits) ˇ@ 1.3 System Requirements 1) Personal computer (PC) 2) Pentium II 233 MHz processor minimum 3) 32 MB RAM minimum 4) 20 MB of free disk space minimum 5) Ethernet Network Interface Controller (NIC) RJ45 Port 6) Internet Browser Chapter 2 Installation This chapter offers information about installing your router.

ˇ@ ˇ@ ˇ@ 2.4 Hardware installation This section describes how to connect and configure the ADSL router. Step 1. Connect the ADSL Line Connect the router directly to the wall jack using the included ADSL cable. Step 2. Connect a Workstation to the Router's LAN port There are two methods to connect the router and workstation. The one use the crossover Ethernet cable to connect directly between them. The other use straight Ethernet cable to connect router with hub (or switch), then go to the worksation. Step 3. Connect the Power Adapter to the Router Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of router. Step 4. Connect All Cables to the Network The procedure for connecting cables differs depending on whether or not your telephone equipment is connected to a POTS splitter. POTS Splitter Configuration (ADSL over POTS) A POTS splitter separates data signals from voice signals on your telephone line. The POTS splitter works by running a separate data line from the voice line, so that the ADSL router has a dedicated cable for data transmission. Figure 2-3.1 and 2-3.2 shows how to connect all cables to the Router. Figure 2-4.1 Router Connected through a POTS Splitter
Note: | The POTS splitter may also be installed on the outside of the house adjacent to the telephone network interface device (NID).
Figure 2-4.2 Router Connected through several micro-filters ISDN Splitter Configuration (ADSL over ISDN) A ISDN splitter separates ADSL signals from ISDN signals on your ISDN telephone line. The ISDN splitter works by running a separate ADSL line from the ISDN line, so that the ADSL router has a dedicated cable for data transmission. Figure 2-3.3 shows how to connect all cables to the Router. Figure 2-4.3 Router Connected through a ISDN Splitter
Note: | The ISDN splitter may also be installed on the outside of the house adjacent to the telephone network interface device (NID).

3.2 Connecting the ADSL Router to your network Unlike a simple hub or switch, the setup of the ADSL Router consists of more than simply plugging everything together. Because the Router acts as a DHCP server, you will have to set some values within the Router, and also configure your networked PCs to accept the IP Addresses the Router chooses to assign them. Generally there are several different operating modes for your applications. And you can know which mode is necessary for your system from ISP. These modes are router, bridge, PPPoE+NAT and NAT and PPPoA+NAT. Actually all these are for IP address of WAN. If your ISP provides RFC1483 Routed mode, it means the IP address of LAN will be routed via WAN. You should set the "Router" mode in the ADSL router for this situation, also set the IP address / netmask of LAN and VPI/VCI of WAN. Then save and reboot Router, it will work fine with your whole system. The computer should be set the fixed assigned IP address with the same domain at this mode. If your ISP provides RFC1483 Bridge mode plus PPPoE, it means the IP address of computer or router will be assigned automatically via PPPoE. There are two methods you can use at this mode. First you can set the "bridge" mode, give VPI/VCI of WAN and install PPPoE driver on your computer. Then save and reboot router, it will work fine with your whole system. You need to use Dial_Up_Network to get the IP address of computer every time. Second method you can set the "PPPoE+NAT" mode, give VPI/VCI of WAN and set user's name & password for PPPoE on your router. Then save and reboot router, it will work fine with your whole system. The computers should be set as DHCP client to get IP dynamically. If your ISP provides RFC2364 mode, it means the IP address of router will be assigned automatically via PPPoA. You can set the "PPPoA+NAT" mode, give VPI/VCI of WAN and set user's name & password for PPPoA on your router. Then save and reboot router, it will work fine with your whole system. The computers should be set as DHCP client to get IP dynamically. If your ISP provides RFC1483 Routed and the serial static IP address for you, there are two methods you can use at this mode. First you can set the "router" mode and give VPI/VCI of WAN. Then save and reboot router, it will work fine with your whole system. The computers should be set the fixed assigned IP address at this method. Second method you can set the "NAT" mode, give VPI/VCI/ IP address /netmask of WAN. Then save and reboot router, it will work fine with your whole system. The computers should be set as DHCP client to get IP dynamically. 3.3 Configuring with Web Browser Open the web browser, enter the local port IP address of the ADSL Modem/Router, which default at http://10.0.0.2, and click 'Go' to get the login page. ˇ@ If you want to configure the device with administrator level, type admin in the username field and epicrouter in the password field.

The default setting is Dynamic NAPT. It provides dynamic Network Address Translation capability between LAN and multiple WAN connections, and the LAN traffic is routed to appropriate WAN connections based on the destination IP addresses and Route Table. This eliminates the need for the static NAT session configuration between multiple LAN clients and multiple WAN connections. When the Dynamic NAPT is chosen, there is no need to configure the NAT Session and NAT Session Name Configuration. NAPT (Static) The NAPT option maps the single WAN IP addresses to many local PCs IP addresses.(1xN). It is the multiple-mapping mechanism. For each WAN Interface, more than one local PCs can be associated with one WAN Interface. Click the link Session Name Configuration to add the session name for WAN interface. Session Name: This field allows the user to select the session from the configured NAT Session Name Configuration.

For the DHCP requests from local PCs, the DHCP server will set the LAN port IP as the default DNS server. Thus, all DNS query messages will come into LAN port first. The DNS proxy on the ADSL modem recorded the available DNS servers, and forward DNS query messages to one of DNS server. Disable DNS Proxy: The LAN port does not process the DNS query message. For the DHCP requests from local PCs, the DHCP server will set the user-configured preferred DNS sever or alternate DNS server whichever is available as the DNS server. Then all DNS query messages will be directly sent to the DNS servers. Use Auto Discovered DNS Servers Only: The DNS proxy will store the DNS server IP addresses obtained from DHCP client or PPP into the table. And all DNS query messages will be sent to one of the dynamically obtained DNS servers. Use User Configured DNS Servers Only: The DNS proxy will use the user-configured preferred DNS server and alternate DNS server. And all DNS query message will be sent to one of DNS servers. Enter the DNS IP in the Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS Server fields. Auto Discovery + User Configured: The DNS proxyˇ¦s table has all the IP addresses of dynamically obtained and user configured DNS servers. ˇ@ 3.3.11 Configuration - Bridge Filtering The Bridge Filtering configuration page allows the user to set the configuration of IP filtering.

The Gateway is the learned Gateway Routing Table The Gateway field of the static route entry allows users to either enter a Gateway IP address or select a Network Interface. All user-defined routes retained in the CPE memory, regardless if they are already in the Routing Table, are displayed on the same Route Table page. All user defined route entries kept in the CPE memory during run time are saved to flash when the user chooses to save and reboot the CPE. When CPE restarts, it reloads all saved user-defined routes to the CPE memory and tries to apply to the system. A user-defined route entry is added to the Routing Table whenever the system provides an environment that makes the route entry applicable. It is removed from the Routing Table whenever the route entry becomes not applicable. e.g. If the route entryˇ¦s Gateway is associated with a dynamic Network Interface but the connection is not established, then the route entry does not appear in the Routing Table. When that interface comes up later, the route entry is then added. If the selected Network Interface is static or is dynamic and the connection is already up, then the route entry appears in the Routing Table immediately. If there is a Gateway associated with the selected Network Interface, then that Gatewayˇ¦s IP address appears in the Gateway field of the route entry If the selected Network Interface is dynamic but the connection is not established, then the route entry does not appear in the Routing Table. When the interface comes up later, the route entry is then added.

Appendix A Glossary Address mask A bit mask used to select bits from an Internet address for subnet addressing. The mask is 32 bits long and selects the network portion of the Internet address and one or more bits of the local portion. Sometimes called subnet mask. AAL5 ATM Adaptation Layer - This layer maps higher layer user data into ATM cells, making the data suitable for transport through the ATM network. ADSL Asymmetric digital subscriber line ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode - A cell-based data transfer technique in which channel demand determines packet allocation. ATM offers fast packet technology, real time, demand led switching for efficient use of network resources. AWG American Wire Gauge - The measurement of thickness of a wire Bridge A device connects two or more physical networks and forwards packets between them. Bridges can usually be made to filter packets, that is, to forward only certain traffic. Related devices are: repeaters which simply forward electrical signals from one cable to the other, and full-fledged routers which make routing decisions based on several criteria. Broadband Characteristic of any network multiplexes independent network carriers onto a single cable. Broadband technology allows several networks to coexist on one single cable; traffic from one network does not interfere with traffic from another. Broadcast A packet delivery system where a copy of a given packet is given to all hosts attached to the network. Example: Ethernet. CO Central Office. Refers to equipment located at a Telco or service provider's office. CPE Customer Premises Equipment located in a user's premises DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP is software that automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network. DHCP eliminates having to manually assign permanent IP addresses to every device on your network. DHCP software typically runs in servers and is also found in network devices such as Routers. DMT Discrete Multi-Tone frequency signal modulation Downstream rate The line rate for return messages or data transfers from the network machine to the user's premises machine. DSLAM Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplex Dynamic IP Addresses A dynamic IP address is an IP address that is automatically assigned to a client station (computer, printer, etc.) in a TCP/IP network. Dynamic IP addresses are typically assigned by a DHCP server, which can be a computer on the network or another piece of hardware, such as the Router. A dynamic IP address may change every time your computer connects to the network. Encapsulation The technique used by layered protocols in which a layer adds header information to the protocol data unit (PDU) from the layer above. As an example, in Internet terminology, a packet would contain a header from the physical layer, followed by a header from the network layer (IP), followed by a header from the transport layer (TCP), followed by the application protocol data. Ethernet One of the most common local area network (LAN) wiring schemes, Ethernet has a transmission rate of 10 Mbps. FTP File Transfer Protocol. The Internet protocol (and program) used to transfer files between hosts. Hop count A measure of distance between two points on the Internet. It is equivalent to the number of gateways that separate the source and destination. HTML Hypertext Markup Language - The page-coding language for the World Wide Web. HTML browser A browser used to traverse the Internet, such as Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer. http Hypertext Transfer Protocol - The protocol used to carry world-wide-web (www) traffic between a www browser computer and the www server being accessed. ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol - The protocol used to handle errors and control messages at the IP layer. ICMP is actually part of the IP protocol. Internet address An IP address is assigned in blocks of numbers to user organizations accessing the Internet. These addresses are established by the United States Department of Defense's Network Information Center. Duplicate addresses can cause major problems on the network, but the NIC trusts organizations to use individual addresses responsibly. Each address is a 32-bit address in the form of x.x.x.x where x is an eight- bit number from 0 to 255. There are three classes: A, B and C, depending on how many computers on the site are likely to be connected. Internet Protocol (IP) The network layer protocol for the Internet protocol suite IP address The 32-bit address assigned to hosts that want to participate in a TCP/IP Internet. ISP Internet service provider - A company allows home and corporate users to connect to the Internet. MAC Media Access Control Layer - A sub-layer of the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of the ISO OSI Model responsible for media control. MIB Management Information Base - A collection of objects can be accessed via a network management protocol, such as SNMP and CMIP (Common Management Information Protocol). NAT Network Address Translation - A proposal for IP address reuse, where the local IP address is mapped to a globally unique address. NVT Network Virtual Terminal PAP Password Authentication Protocol PORT The abstraction used by Internet transport protocols to distinguish among multiple simultaneous connections to a single destination host. POTS Plain Old Telephone Service - This is the term used to describe basic telephone service. PPP Point-to-Point-Protocol - The successor to SLIP, PPP provides router-to-router and host-to-network connections over both synchronous and asynchronous circuits. PPPoE PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection. Remote server A network computer allows a user to log on to the network from a distant location. RFC Request for Comments - Refers to documents published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) proposing standard protocols and procedures for the Internet. RFCs can be found at www.ietf.org.. Route The path that network traffic takes from its source to its destination. The route a datagram may follow can include many gateways and many physical networks. In the Internet, each datagram is routed separately. Router A system responsible for making decisions about which of several paths network (or Internet) traffic will follow. To do this, it uses a routing protocol to gain information about the network and algorithms to choose the best route based on several criteria known as "routing metrics". routing table Information stored within a router that contains network path and status information. It is used to select the most appropriate route to forward information along. Routing Information Protocol Routers periodically exchange information with one another so that they can determine minimum distance paths between sources and destinations. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol - The network management protocol of choice for TCP/IP-based Internet. SOCKET (1) The Berkeley UNIX mechanism for creating a virtual connection between processes. (2) IBM term for software interfaces that allow two UNIX application programs to talk via TCP/IP protocols. Spanning-Tree Bridge Protocol (STP) Spanning-Tree Bridge Protocol (STP) - Part of an IEEE standard. A mechanism for detecting and preventing loops from occurring in a multi-bridged environment. When three or more LAN's segments are connected via bridges, a loop can occur. Because a bridge forwards all packets that are not recognized as being local, some packets can circulate for long periods of time, eventually degrading system performance. This algorithm ensures only one path connects any pair of stations, selecting one bridge as the 'root' bridge, with the highest priority one as identifier, from which all paths should radiate. Spoofing A method of fooling network end stations into believing that keep alive signals have come from and returned to the host. Polls are received and returned locally at either end Static IP Addresses A static IP address is an IP address permanently assigned to computer in a TCP/IP network. Static IP addresses are usually assigned to networked devices that are consistently accessed by multiple users, such as Server PCs, or printers. If you are using your Router to share your cable or DSL Internet connection, contact your ISP to see if they have assigned your home a static IP address. You will need that address during your Router's configuration. Subnet For routing purposes, IP networks can be divided into logical subnets by using a subnet mask. Values below those of the mask are valid addresses on the subnet. TCP Transmission Control Protocol - The major transport protocol in the Internet suite of protocols provides reliable, connection-oriented full-duplex streams. TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol - A simple file transfer protocol (a simplified version of FTP) that is often used to boot diskless workstations and other network devices such as routers over a network (typically a LAN). Telnet The virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols - Allows users of one host to log into a remote host and act as normal terminal users of that host. Transparent bridging So named because the intelligence necessary to make relaying decisions exists in the bridge itself and is thus transparent to the communicating workstations. It involves frame forwarding, learning workstation addresses and ensuring no topology loops exist (in conjunction with the Spanning-Tree algorithm). UDP User Datagram Protocol - A connectionless transport protocol that runs on top of TCP/IP's IP. UDP, like TCP, uses IP for delivery; however, unlike TCP, UDP provides for exchange of datagrams without acknowledgments or guaranteed delivery. Best suited for small, independent requests, such as requesting a MIB value from an SNMP agent, in which first setting up a connection would take more time than sending the data. UNI signaling User Network Interface signaling for ATM communications. Virtual Connection (VC) A link that seems and behaves like a dedicated point-to-point line or a system that delivers packets in sequence, as happens on an actual point-to-point network. In reality, the data is delivered across a network via the most appropriate route. The sending and receiving devices do not have to be aware of the options and the route is chosen only when a message is sent. There is no pre-arrangement, so each virtual connection exists only for the duration of that one transmission. WAN Wide area network - A data communications network that spans any distance and is usually provided by a public carrier (such as a telephone company or service provider).ˇ@ ˇ@ Appendix B Cabling / Connection Network cables connect PCs in an Ethernet network Category 5, called "Cat5" for short is commonly used type of network cable today.
