Pro800turbo Dual Modem (WAN) Feature Pro400 & Pro100 Features…

The Pro800turbofeatures Broadband connection binding with its dual Modem Ports.

Youcan mix connectiontypes onthe ports (actually, for backup reasons, this is

recommended). So you can binda Cable Internet connection and a DSL connection,

or T1 and SDSL, PPPoE and DHCP, etc. This is great for power users, offices that

have outgrowna single Internet connection,or for users that need an automatic

broadband fail-over capability.

The Pro800turbo load-balances 2 Internet connections making them seem as one.

The Pro800turbowill bind the bandwidth by establishing external network

connectionsto both WAN ports based on a user defined load-balance setting(on the

Expert Level screen).

Load-balancingallows you to download multiple files, like MP3s, at twice the speed

(assuming twoequal speed lines). Utilities that separate single file downloads into

multiple connections will allow you to double the speed of a single file download.

Also, Web browsingis noticeably quicker because web browsers open up multiple

connections for each page you view (like multiple downloads at once). If you want,

you can bind hosts to a single WAN port (on the HostIP & Group screen).

One WAN port alsobacks up the other. If one WAN connection drops, the load

balance will be upped to 100% on the good connection…if that connection drops, you

can have an Analog/ISDN modem connected to the serial port automatically connect.

Thus, this provides automatic triple redundancy backup… excellent for office

networks that require truly “always on” Internet connections.

Analog / ISDN Backup

The Pro has a serial port used for Analog or ISDN connectionsas well as pre-

configuringor resettingthe unit via a terminal console (see Appendix). The Serial

port can be used in Backup mode or as the sole Internet connection of the unit until

broadbandis available in your area.

To use the Backup feature or to connect via Analog / ISDN, you must use an External

Analog Modem (28.8, 33.6, 56k) or ISDN Modem that has a serial connector. Use the

serial cable that came with your modem (not the Null modem cable in the package) to

connect to the Pro. After connectingthe Modem to the Pro, you must configure the

Backup / Analog / ISDN interface screen with your account information (most DSL

accounts come with an analog account free of charge for backup purposes). Click

“Backup” to use that connection as a backup to your broadband. The Backup engages

automatically when broadband drops and will auto-disengage when broadband returns.

Nexland Pro: Introduction

DIP Switches – These are used for disablingthe DHCPServer, Resettingthe unit,

activatingthe Serial Console Interface and to configure the Pro for firmware

upgrades. Normal operationis with all 4 in the OFF (Up) position. More

informationcan be found in the Appendix.

LAN Link LEDs – 100BaseT, 10BaseT and Duplex LED link indicators for LAN

port(s). When the LED is on, your link is good. 100BaseT is the preferable

connection as it provides the highest throughput on your local network. You’ll

need a 100BaseT compatible Ethernet card in your computer. Duplex indicates

that your card supports Duplex mode Ethernet; this gives you up to 200mb

throughput on your network! The Duplex LEDs will flash if there is a collision

state on the network. Collisions happen when packets are beingdropped or

misdirected. This is most often caused by duplicate IP addresses/gateways or

extremely heavytraffic that’soverloadingthe network.

performance. If plugging in an additional hub,use the “Uplink” port on your hub.

Pro100:

LAN 10/100BaseT (auto sense) Port – Plug a computer or hub/switch into here.

Use only CAT5 Ethernet cables for best performance. This port functions like an

“Uplink” port on a hub. See Installation for cablinginstructions.

Modem (WAN) 10BaseT Port – Connect your external modem here. It must

have a 10BaseT compatible connection.Use the cable that came with the modem

to plug into this port. Note: If connecting other network devices to this port,

make sure they are compatible with a 10BaseT connection.

The Pro800turbohas DualWAN Ports & WAN Link LEDs.

Modem (WAN) Link LED – When lit, it indicates a proper 10BaseT connection

to your Modem (or othernetwork device). If it doesn’t light, make sure you are

usingthe proper cable (theone that came with your modem).

Reset Switch – This will reset (reboot) the unit. If having connectivity trouble for

anyreason, try hittingthe reset switch.Resetting doesn’t erase the Pro’s settings.

9v DC1000mAPower Connector – Connect the power adapter plug here. Make

sure to use only the power supply that came with the Pro as plugging in the wrong

voltage can damage the unit.

Backup Active LED – Lights when the ISDN / Analog backup feature is in

progress(when broadband has dropped).

WAN Connected LED – Lights when your WAN IP Address isnon-zero. This

indicates that you have connected to your ISP (it is not always an indicator of a

functioning Internet connection as the ISP may have problems not related to IP

addresses). If you make a Static IP entry into the Pro, this LED will stay on.

PPPoE Active LED – Lights a PPPoE session is in progress.

WAN Transmit/Receive LED – It lights GREEN under normal conditions.

Flashes when data is sent through the Modem (WAN) port.

LAN Transmit/Receive & Error LED – This is a Dual Purpose LED. It lights

GREEN under normal conditions. When flashing, it indicates data is beingsent

through any of the LAN ports (switch). If it lights/flashes RED, this indicates one

of the Pro’s diagnostics have failed. This is usually a problem with the firmware

or hardware. Contact technical support if you have an error (RED) light. Note:

The LED will flash red duringa firmware upgrade procedure or when usingthe

Serial Console; this is normal.

The Pro protects your computers from intrusion by its firewall feature. It prevents an

outsider from gainingaccess to the computers connected to the unit. It will not protect

your computers against information requested from insidethough. This is the case

when you download a suspect program or e-mail with an attachment that has harmful

viruscode.

The Pro should be used in conjunction with Anti-Virus software (with an e-mail scan

feature) to provide the best protection. With this software, your computer is better

protected against Viruses and e-mail born Trojan programs.

Remember, to be safe, you should never open e-mails with attachments

that end in “.exe”, “.vbs”, “.pif”, “.bat”, “.scr” …even if they’re from

someone you know. As e-mail Trojanstakeover a computer and send

their destructive payload to contact lists automatically.

If you work in an office environment, installing a good Personal Firewall on each computer provides an

even better measure of protection.This protects a computer’s data internally on the LAN from another

computer on the same LAN. Some personal firewalls haveadditional features to make sure only registered

applications usethe network; this prevents Trojan FTP programsand the like from working.

Safety First

Make sure you follow these precautions and your Nexland Pro appliance will last

you a very very very long time:

 Follow all warnings, notes, and instructions that may be marked on the unit.

 To protect the unit from overheating make sure it is not blocked orcovered.

 Do not use or store the unit in an environment that exceeds temperature and humidity specifications.

 Do not place the unit near a radiator or heat register, orin a built-in installationunless adequate

ventilation is provided.

 Before cleaning the unit, unplug from wall outlet. Donot use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a

dampcloth for cleaning.

 Do not place cords or cables where they may be walked on or tripped over.

 Be sureto comply with any applicable local safety standards or regulations.

 General-purpose cables areprovided with the unit. Any cables or other requirements mandated by

Nexland Pro: Installation

Installation

Before you install the Pro, gather information about your Internet account and

computers. ontact your ISP ifyou aren’t sure about something.C

You must determine what type of Internet connection you have to determine the

informationrequired for installation. For the purposes ofthis manual, it should be one

of three different types:

 PPPoE Internet Account - Most large DSL ISPs have adopted this method.

Hint: If you have “Dial Up” software on your computer to access your

account, then you most likely have a PPPoE account.

o Note your User Nameand Password before installingthe unit

o Disable (or Uninstall) the PPPoE “Dial-Up” Software

 Dynamic IPDHCP Internet Account - Most Cable ISPs, some DSL.

o Sometimes noinformationis required, just connectingthe unit and

rebooting your computer will get you connected

o The MAC(Network Adapter) addressof your Ethernet card might

be needed if used by your ISP.See below on how to obtain it.

o The Host Name or Domain Name on your computer might be

needed if it is a coded name given to you by your ISP.

 Static IP Internet Account (or Network Connection)

o You’ll need your IP Address, Network Mask, Gateway andDNS

Important Note: Some ISPs (usually Cable) have abbreviated names for

your E-Mail servers and Web Home Page. his is the case if your

Internet home page is a very short name, like “www” or “web” rather than

www.nexland.com, or your E-Mail server’s name is something like

“pop3” or “mail” instead of mail.nexland.com

You MUST obtain the actual server names (Internet names) in order to accessthe Web

and E-Mail when using the Pro. Youcan obtain this information from your ISP or see

Finding Server Names in the Appendix (must be done beforeinstalling).

If it isn’t already, connect your modem to your DSL or Cable line as instructed in

your modem directions.

Nexland Pro: Installation

Hardware Installation

It is strongly recommended that you installyour Nexland Pro with only one

computer directly connected to it first. This will greatly simplifyanytroubleshooting

duringinstallation. After the install is successful with a single computer, you can then

addadditional computers and/or hubs to the Pro. The following installationassumes

this simple network setup.

Connecting the Cables

use the Adapter that came with the unit.

STEP 1: Insert the 9v DC1000mAPower Adapter that was included

with the Pro and plug it into an electrical outlet. Makesure to ONLY

STEP 2: Take the cable that came with your modem and remove it

from your computer (if applicable) and insert the free end into the

Modem (WAN) port of the Pro. You should see the WAN Link light

illuminate green. If not, check that you are usingthe samecable that

came with the modem. For the Pro800turbo: Repeat this step for

other Modem port with a separate modem or connection (you can

mix Cable, DSL, or routed connections on the Pro800turbo’s2 Modem ports).

Note: Step 3 is optional on the WaveBase and wireless enabled units.

STEP 3: Note: For the Pro100, use the included red-tipped

Ethernet “cross-over” cable for this step. For all other models, a

standard “straight-thru” cable is needed.Take the Ethernet cable

that was included with the Pro and connect it from your computer to

a free LAN port – LAN portsare labeled 1 thru 4 inPro400 &

WaveBase & Wireless Enabled Units…

With the unit powered off, carefully insert the PC card includedin the

Nexland box into the slot in the rear of the unit labeled “Wireless”

until the eject button pops out.

Confirm that your computer(s) on the network have their 802.11b adapter

cards installed. You must set your adapter cards’ ESSID to My Network

(with a space andcase sensitive!) andtheir Network type set to Access

Point or Ad-hoc. The other settings should remain at their defaults. For

installation purposes, leave encryption disabled. After a successful installation, it is

strongly recommended that you turn on encryption.

Connecting Hubs to the Pro400, 800, 800turbo & WaveBase

If you are connecting a hub or switch to the LAN ports of the Pro, you must use

the “Uplink” port on your hub. lus, your hub MUST be a compatible with a

10BaseT or 100BaseT connection. You can tell that the link is good by the

corresponding LAN link LED lighting green.

If there is no “Uplink” port on your hub, you can use what is called a “Cross-

Over” cable to connect from a regular port on your hub to a LAN port on the Pro.

Consult your local networking dealer on obtaining a “Cross-Over” cable.

The next step involves setting upyour computer to automatically accept the IP

addressing from the Pro’sDHCPServer. This formsan internal network (LAN),

separate from the outside, with it’s own private IP addressing scheme. If this

sounds like Greek to you, don’t worry; the Pro will handle the hard part.
