total.
3.2.1 DHCP (Ericsson-MER)

The DHCP (Ericsson-MER) mode is a bridge-router access type meaning
that the HM490dp operates as a bridge to the WAN side while
simultaneously operates as a router to the LAN/WLAN side.
This access type is “Always On” meaning that you are automatically
connected to your ISP whenever you use your Internet connection. The
HM490dp automatically activates the NAT service that will route the traffic
to/from the WAN and its internal DHCP server that will assign private IP
addresses to the PCs on the LAN/WLAN.
This access type can be used for triple play scenarios and some Ericsson
specific features are used so the HM490dp will only have one WAN IP
address also in these scenarios.

5.4.3 Configure Wireless Security

Your wireless data transmissions should be protected from potential
eavesdroppers. An eavesdropper might set up a compatible wireless
adapter within range of your device and attempt to access your network.
You can protect your network from eavesdroppers by encrypting wireless
data transmissions. Data encryption is the translation of data into a form
that cannot be easily understood by unauthorized users.
There are two methods of wireless security to choose from:
• Encryption including the following options:
− Off – no encryption will be performed on the wireless network.

− Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP); data is encrypted into blocks of
either 64 bits length or 128 bits length. The encrypted data can
only be sent and received by users with access to a private
network key. Each PC on your wireless network must be manually
configured with the same key as your device in order to allow
wireless encrypted data transmissions. Eavesdroppers cannot
access your network if they do not know your private key. WEP is
considered to be a low security option.
• Authentication, including the following options:

− None – allowing any wireless client to associate to your HM490dp
under the same SSID and channel.
− MAC association which gives you the choice to only allow a
particular list of PCs to connect to your wireless network.
− Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA); provides a stronger data
encryption method (called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)).
It runs in a special, easy-to-set-up home mode called Pre-Shared
Key (PSK) that allows you to manually enter a pass phrase on all
the devices in your wireless network. WPA data encryption is
based on a WPA master key. The master key is derived from the
pass phrase and the network name (SSID) of the device.
5.4.4 Configure Wireless Authentication/Encryption

To configure your Wireless authentication/encryption settings, follow the
steps below:
“Authentication”. The following page is displayed:

If you simply want to connect from your local network to the Internet, you do
not need to make any changes to the default Security configuration. You
only need to edit the configuration if you wish to do one or both of the
following:
• Allow Internet users to browse the user pages on your local network
(for example, by providing an FTP or HTTP server)
• Play certain games which require accessibility from the Internet.
By default the IP addresses of your LAN PCs are hidden from the Internet.
All data sent from your LAN PCs to a PC on the Internet appears to come
from the IP address of your device. In this way, details about your LAN PCs
remain private. This security feature is called Network Address Translation
(NAT).

A Firewall filter is a rule that determines how the Firewall should handle
packets being transported on a policy between two security interfaces. You
can create separate filter rules based on:
• The protocol type of the traffic allowed to be transported.
• Which TCP/UDP port numbers the packets are allowed to be

transported on.
• The name of the well-known protocol, service or application allowed to

be transported.
• Source and destination addresses.
Whichever type of filter rule you use, you must also determine which
direction packets should be allowed to travel in:
• In; permitted traffic is transported from the outside interface to the

inside interface.
• Out; permitted traffic is transported from the inside interface to the

outside interface.

5.5.7 Application Level Gateways (ALGs)

There are certain difficult applications that NAT and Firewall configurations
cannot manage. In many cases, Application Level Gateways (ALGs) are
needed to translate and transport packets correctly.
An ALG provides a service for a specific application. Incoming packets are

checked against existing NAT rules or Firewall filters, IP addresses are
evaluated and detailed packets analysis is performed. If necessary, the
contents of a packet are modified and if a secondary port is required, the
ALG will open one. The ALG for each application does not require
additional configuration.
ALG support is provided for the applications listed in the table below:

6.2.2 Assign Static Internet Information

If you are like most users, you will not need to assign static Internet
information to your LAN PCs. Your ISP automatically assigns this
information.
In some cases however, you may want to assign Internet information to

some or all of your PCs directly (often called “statically”), rather than
allowing the HM490dp to assign it. This option may be desirable (but not
required) if:
• You have obtained one or more public IP addresses that you want to
always associate with specific computers (for example, if you are using
a computer as a public web server).
• You maintain different subnets on your LAN.
Before you begin, be sure to have the following information on hand, or

contact your ISP if you do not know it:
• The IP address and subnet mask to be assigned to each PC to which

you will be assigning static IP information.
• The IP address of the default gateway for your LAN. In most cases,
this is the address assigned to the LAN port on the HM490dp. By
default, the LAN port is assigned this IP address: 192.168.1.1.
• The IP address of your ISP’s Domain Name System (DNS) server.
On each PC to which you want to assign static information, follow the

instructions in sections 6.2.1.1 through 6.2.1.4 relating only to checking for
and/or installing the IP protocol.
Once it is installed, continue to follow the instructions for displaying each of

the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties. Instead of enabling dynamic
assignment of the IP addresses for the computer, DNS server and default
gateway, click the radio buttons that enable you to enter the information
manually.
1553-ZAT 759 95 Uen C – July 2005 85

Configure PCs
Note: Your PCs must have IP addresses that place them in the same
subnet as the HM490dp LAN port. If you manually assign IP
information to all your LAN PCs, you can follow the instructions in
section 5.6.2 – “Change Settings to the DHCP Server Subnet” to
change the LAN port IP address accordingly.
6.3 Configure Wireless PCs

You need to configure the operating system installed on your Wireless PCs
using the same procedure described for Ethernet PCs as described in
section 6.2 – “Configure Ethernet PCs”.
6.3.1 Siting the Wireless PCs

The wireless network cards used determine the maximum distance
between your wireless PCs and your device. Guidelines on siting the
hardware components of your wireless network should be provided by your
network card provider.
6.3.2 Wireless PC Cards and Drivers

Each PC on your wireless LAN must be fitted with a wireless access card.
You must also install the corresponding driver files for your particular
wireless card on your PC. You should receive driver files and instructions
on how to install them together with your wireless card.
6.3.3 Configure PC Access to your Wireless Device

Before you start configuring your wireless PC, you must ensure that you
have:
• A wireless access card for each of the PCs.
• Corresponding wireless access card driver software files.
The configuration steps below will vary depending on both the operating
system and wireless card installed on the PC. These steps provide a basic
outline, however you should refer to the documentation provided with your
wireless access card for specific instructions.
To configure your wireless PCs:
1 Install the wireless access card.
2 Install the wireless driver software files.

3 Configure the following wireless parameters on each of the wireless

PCs:
− Set the adapter to use infrastructure mode. This configures the

PCs to access each other and the Internet via the device.
− Configure the SSID and channel to match the SSID and channel
configured on the HM490dp.
− If you are using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security,

configure the same network key that was previously configured on
the HM490dp.
− If you are using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security, configure

the same pass phrase that was previously configured on the
HM490dp.
Your wireless network can now communicate with the Internet via the
HM490dp.
