LANs and WANs
Your DIR-430 is a network device that connects two networks; Local Area
Network (LAN) (the group of PCs in your home or office) and the Wide Area
Network (WAN), that is, the Internet. The Gateway processes and regulates the
data that travels between these two networks.
ȱ
Your DIR-430 is "equipped" with firewall software that protects your local area
network of PCs so that users on the Internet cannot hack into your PCs, hence
keeps your local PCs secure. The DIR-430 protects your network by inspecting
the first packet coming in through the WAN connection before delivery to the final
destination on Local PCs. The DIR-430 inspects Internet port services like the web
server, ftp server, or other Internet applications, and, if allowed, it will forward
the packet to the appropriate PC on the LAN side.
DIR-430 ports connect to two sides: your 10/100 LAN ports and the Internet WAN
port. The WAN and LAN ports can transmit data at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.

Static & Dynamic IP Addresses
IP stands for Internet Protocol. All IP based network devices like PCs, print
servers, Gateways, and routers have IP addresses that are independent of the
type of network interface. The IP address denotes the identity of the device on
the IP networks, both LAN and WAN. IP addresses can be assigned manually to a
device, or dynamically through a central server.
Static IP address is a fixed, and manually assigned to a PC or any other device
on the network. They retain their address until you change it. This type of
addressing is useful especially for the hosts/routers/Gateways that offer services
(Web, FTP, printer), and you may want to access them using their known static IP
address. If your ISP provides with static IP address, please use the static IP
settings for the Internet Access Connection Mode.
Dynamic IP address is assigned for temporary usage, issued by a server (DHCP
Server can be PC, Gateway or any other network service) in the network. The IP
address obtained this way is not guaranteed to be constant. After a certain time
period, they expire and may change. The DHCP server is notified of the expiry,
and may assign the same or different IP address to a network device. This is used
in the cases; where there is a constraint on the number of IP addresses, or to
reduce the configuration on the network devices and keeping the IP addressing
configuration centrally located.
For DSL connections, many ISPs may require you to log on with a user name and
password to have access to the Internet. The technology used is Point-to-Point
Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), which is similar to (PPP) dial-up connection, with
no telephone number dialling involved, provides dynamic IP address.
Firewall – Its need
With a rapid growth in the Internet around the world, and because of its open
nature of the Internet Protocol standard, network security has become a major
concern to the companies around the world. Once you are connected to the
Internet, you are physically connecting your network to few thousands of
unknown networks and their users. This enables all the Internet users around the
world to share the information. But the idea opens up the possibility of
confidential information being leaked out to Internet users who are involved in
unlawful activities.
There are various types of attacks on the Internet; few for example, Denial-of-
service attacks, SMURF, SYN flooding, ping of death attacks, Application layer
attacks. To protect a private network from all these type of attacks, firewall came
into existence. Your RGS Pro Gateway has firewall that provides a single point of
defence between two networks and can secure your Local Network.

Chapter 3 Connecting the DIR-430
Overview
DIR-430 setup requires little more than Hub or Switch setup. PCs on your local
network should be configured to obtain an IP address (or TCP/IP address) from
the DIR-430 (the DIR-430 also needs to get an IP address). Please consult your
Internet Service provider (ISP) for the method used in getting IP address for the
DIR-430.
Connecting Hardware together and booting up
1. Make sure you power down all of your hardware including the DIR-430, PCs,
hubs, switches and cable or DSL modem.
2. As in figure 3-1, Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to one
of the LAN ports (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4) on the back of the
Gateway, and the other end to a standard port on a network
device, e.g., a PC, Laptop, hub or switch.
Figureȱ3Ȭ1ȱ
Repeat the above step to connect more PCs or Network devices to the Gateway.
3. Connect the Internet Cable from your cable or DSL modem to
the DIR-430 WAN port on the back panel, as shown in the figure
3-2. This is the only port that will work for your cable/DSL
modem connection.
4. Connect the power adapter to the Power port on the back
panel of the DIR-430, and then plug the power adapter into a
power outlet as shown in the figure 3-3.
Figureȱ3Ȭ2ȱȱȱȱȱȱȱ
The Power LED should illuminate indicating a proper connection
to power. If the Power LED fails to illuminate check the
connection. Figureȱ3Ȭ3ȱȱȱȱȱ
5. Turn on the cable or DSL modem and PC or switch.
The DIR-430 hardware installation is now complete.

Chapter 4 Configuring your PCs
This chapter helps you configure commonly used Microsoft Windows computer to
be able to communicate with the DIR-430. Users with computers running other
operating systems can look through respective user manuals.
Before you try making your PC obtain an IP Address automatically, you need to
know the operating system of your PC. This section covers configuration for PCs
running Windows 95, 98, Millennium, 2000, XP, and 2003.
If you are running Windows 95, 98, Millennium, 2000, XP, or 2003 then you can
Click on the Start button and then go to Settings option (does not exist for
Windows XP, 2003). Then click on Control Panel button to open a window with
all the tools.
You may need to do this for each computer you are connecting the DIR-430
through the switch or a hub. If a single PC is connected directly to the DIR-430,
then doing it on the PC is sufficient.
The next few pages take you through step-by-step procedure to configure your
network settings based on the type of operating system. Make sure that Ethernet
card or adapter has been successfully installed in each PC you will configure.

Chapter 5 Configuring the DIR-430
This chapter guides you through the configuration of your DIR-430 to make it
function in your network and gain access to the Internet through your ISP.
Accessing the DIR-430 configuration
Once connections are made as shown in Section 3 "Connecting the DIR-430", the
DIR-430 can be configured using an HTML browser, Internet Explorer 6.0 on your
PC. At the address line, enter HTTP URL, http://192.168.0.1/ as shown in the
figure below, where 192.168.0.1 is the DIR-430 Internal IP address (You may
give different IP address if configured differently, refer to Local Area Network
configuration). Subnet mask for all the machines on the local network is
255.255.255.0. All the PCs connected to the Local Network ports can reach the
Gateway device at the address specified.
The user is prompted for the username and password for the DIR-430 as shown
in the figure below. The default user name is admin. The factory setting for the
password is <blank>. The user is expected to change password (optionally
username) to protect the DIR-430 configuration from an unauthorized
manipulation. Enter the changed password if it was already modified.
If the username, password combination is entered incorrectly three times, the
login session will be locked for a minute. This is for security reasons.
In rest of the document, the term user is used for the person who configures the
DIR-430.
ȱ
The Reset button on this page clears off the password field for the user to re-
enter it. Clicking on Login button leads to the DIR-430 configuration welcome
page as shown in the following figure.
ȱ
ȱ
If you enter an incorrect password 3 times consecutively, the DIR-430
configuration pages will be locked for one minute. It is strongly advised to wait
for one minute before re-attempting login.ȱ
