Chapter 1: Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Linksys IP Telephony System. The System combines the rich feature set of legacy PBX (Private Branch eXchange) telephone systems with the convenience and cost advantages of Internet telephony. It supports common key system features such as an auto-attendant, music-on-hold, call forwarding, three-way call conferencing, and more.
The System is so easy to configure that a fully working system can be set up in minutes. New Linksys SPA-family Internet telephones are automatically detected and registered when they are connected to the System. While the System will work with any SIP-compatible Internet telephone, it is the ideal host for Linksys business telephones, including model number: SPA941. The System supports the advanced features of these phones, such as shared line appearances, hunt groups, call transfer, call park, and group paging. Plus, with its two FXS ports, the System can support traditional analog devices such as telephones, fax machines, answering machines, media adapters.
How does the System do all of this? By connecting your analog phones or fax machines to the System and connecting the System and Internet phones to your router, then the System can direct voice communications for your network.
But what does all of this mean?
Networks are useful tools for sharing Internet access and computer resources. Multiple computers can share Internet access, so you don’t need more than one high-speed Internet connection. With Internet phone service, your Internet access can now be shared by your Internet phones as well. You will be able to make phone calls using your Internet phone service account, even while another colleague is web browsing. Plus, you can access one printer from different computers and access data located on another computer’s hard drive (with the right permissions).
PCs on a wired network create a LAN, or Local Area Network. They are connected with Ethernet cables, which is why the network is called “wired”. The System takes your wired network and lets you integrate Internet phones and Internet phone service.
When you first install the System, Linksys strongly recommends that you use the Setup Wizard, which you can download from www.linksys.com. If you do not wish to run the Setup Wizard, then use the instructions in the Quick Installation or this User Guide to help you. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the IP Telephony System.
NOTE: Some of these features are set up from the Internet phones.
network: a series of computers or devices connected for the purpose of data sharing, storage, and/or transmission between users.
lan (local area network): the computers and networking products that make up the network in your home or office.
ethernet: an IEEE standard network protocol that specifies how data is placed on and retrieved from a common transmission medium.
This user guide covers the steps for setting up a network with the System. Most users will only need to use “Chapter 4: Getting Started.” When you’re finished, then you are ready to make calls within your system as well as calls to the outside world.
You also have other chapter available for reference:
Chapter 2: Applications for the IP Telephony System
High-speed Internet access is a valuable resource. When you have more than one computer, chances are you want to share that Internet access with all of your computers. That’s when you create a network, a collection of devices connected to each other. A device called a router connects computers and other devices, so they can
Internet share a high-speed Internet connection and other resources, including data and printers.
One of the biggest benefits of the Internet is data communications, either e-mail or web browsing, whether you send a file to a client or download the latest software upgrade. With the System, you also get voice communications.
SPA941 Cable/DSL Modem
The System connects multiple Internet phones to an Internet phone service. The System manages and routes all calls. Incoming calls go to the auto-attendant, an automated greeting system, or correct internal extension (each
SPA941 Switch Router Desktop phone has its own extension number). Outgoing calls go to the correct external phone number (you can have more than one external phone number). Computer
You can have not only more than one external phone number, but also up to four Internet Telephony Service Providers (ITSPs) for maximum flexibility.
NOTE: The basic configuration of the System lets you connect up to four Internet phones and use SPA941
up to four ITSPs. To expand the basic configuration, contact your primary ITSP for more
information.
Typically, you connect the Internet port of the System to a local network port of your router. Then connect a switch to another local network port of your router. Use this switch to connect Internet phones, computers, and other devices. Then connect an administration computer to the Ethernet port of the System.
If you have analog telephones or fax machines, you can connect them to the Phone ports, so you can also use Analog Fax Administration those phones to make Internet phone or fax calls. (More details are available in “Chapter 4: Getting Started.”) Phone Computer
Figure 2-1: A Scenario for the IP Telephony System
For your network, get the highest-performance router possible. For best results, use a QoS (Quality of Service) router, so it can assign top priority to voice traffic.
Again, performance is key. For best results, use a switch that offers QoS (Quality of Service) and full wire-speed switching. QoS enables the switch to give top priority to voice traffic, while full wire-speed switching lets it forward packets as fast as your network can deliver them. The next best choice is a switch featuring QoS (Quality of Service).
Traditional phone service, also known as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), runs on a network called the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). If you decide to keep traditional phone service, then connect the Analog Telephone Adapter (model number: SPA3000) to the switch. (For more information, refer to the SPA3000 documentation.)
Beyond basic call routing, the System offers several powerful and sophisticated features:
After setup of the System, you will have dynamic and feature-rich Internet voice communications for your business or home.
NOTE: If your ITSP configured the System for you, then these features may already be set up. Check with your ITSP for more information.
(To set up these features yourself, refer to “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility.”)

Chapter 4: Getting Started
For first-time installation of the System, Linksys strongly recommends using the Setup Wizard, which you can download from www.linksys.com. For advanced users, you may follow the instructions in this chapter, and then Internet use the Web-based Utility for additional configuration (refer to “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility”). To use the Interactive Voice Response Menu, proceed to “Chapter 5: Using the Interactive Voice Response Menu.”
SPA941 Cable/DSL Modem Make sure you have the following:
Analog Fax Administration Phone Computer
Internal Calls ip address: the address used to identify a computer or device on a network.
To install the System for internal calls, you will do the following:
7. Enter 192.168.0.1/admin/voice/advanced in the Address field (192.168.0.1 is the default local IP address of the System). Then press the Enter key. Figure 4-4: Connect to the Ethernet Port
10. Click the Submit All Changes button.
13. From the Connection Type drop-down menu, select Static IP. Figure 4-6: Voice - SIP Screen - PBX Parameters
14. In the Static IP Settings section, complete the Static IP, NetMask, and Gateway fields. Static IP. Enter a static IP address appropriate for your network. Write this down; you will use it later. NOTE: Make sure your router will not assign the System’s static IP address to any other
network device. For example, you can assign a static IP address outside of your router’s DHCP
IP address range; however, it must be within the router’s subnet range.
For more information about IP addressing, refer to the router’s documentation.
NetMask. Enter the subnet mask of your network router. Gateway. Enter the local IP address of your network router or gateway.
17. Click the Submit All Changes button.
18. The Router - Status screen will appear. Verify that the following settings match your entries:
Proceed to the next section, “Connect the Internet Phones.”

will be manual. Refer to the documentation for your phone.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until you have installed all of your Internet phones.
Congratulations! Now you can make calls from one Internet phone to another by dialing an extension number.
Continue to the next section to configure the System for external calls.
For external calls, make sure you have an active Internet connection. Then configure the settings for your Internet phone service account on the System.
User ID. Enter the user ID (also called the account number) supplied by your ITSP. Do not use any hyphens, spaces, or other punctuation. Password. Enter the case-sensitive password supplied by your ITSP. Proxy and Registration
Proxy. Enter the proxy address supplied by your ITSP. If your ITSP supplied additional settings, enter those as well. Refer to the instructions your ITSP gave you.
You are now ready to make your first external call. Use any phone connected to the System, and dial 9 first when you make an external call with the default US dial plan.
You can use analog telephones to make external calls; however, you cannot receive calls on any analog telephones unless you configure the appropriate settings. Refer to the Voice - FXS 1 section of “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility” for instructions.
Congratulations! Now you can make external calls using the System.
NOTE: If your Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP) supplied the System, then it may be pre-configured for you, and you do not need to change any settings. Refer to the instructions supplied by your ITSP for more information.
NOTE: If you cannot make calls with the default US dial plan, visit www.linksys.com/kb for additional dial plans, or refer to “Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for Advanced Users” to write your own script.
To receive external phone calls, you need to know the Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number assigned to you by your ITSP. Usually this is the same as your user ID, but it can be a different number. Check with your ITSP to find out what your DID number is.
Then decide which Internet phones will ring when an outside caller calls your DID number. The default is aa, which stands for auto-attendant, an automated system that picks up external calls and plays pre-recorded voice messages. If you want only the auto-attendant to receive a call, keep the default setting. When the auto-attendant receives a call, it will prompt the caller to dial the appropriate extension.
If you want specific Internet phones to ring when your DID number is called, then refer to “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility” for instructions about the Contact List setting.
NOTE: If you decide to keep traditional phone service, which is also known as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), then you will use the Linksys Analog Telephone Adapter (model number: SPA3000). For details, refer to the Analog Telephone Adapter’s documentation.
By default, the daytime auto-attendant is enabled, so the first message it plays (“If you know your party’s extension, you may enter it now”) is suitable for business hours. If you want a caller to hear a different greeting during nighttime (non-business) hours, then refer to “Appendix B: Configuring the Nighttime Auto-Attendant.”
To use the Web-based Utility for additional configuration, refer to “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility.” To use the Interactive Voice Response Menu, proceed to “Chapter 5: Using the Voice Interactive Response Menu.”
You may need to manually configure the System by entering the settings provided by your Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP). This chapter explains how to use the Interactive Voice Response Menu to configure the System’s network settings and record auto-attendant messages. You will use the telephone’s keypad to enter your commands and select choices, and the System will use voice responses.
For more advanced configuration, refer to “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility.”
NOTE: If your ITSP sent you the System, then it may be pre-configured for you, and you do not need to change any settings. Refer to the instructions supplied by your ITSP for more information.

Call Routing Rule. This is a special dial plan that determines which line can be used for an external, outbound call request from a phone based solely on the target public number. When you create this rule, follow this format:
(rule|rule|rule|...|rule)
The most specific rules should be placed first.
Each rule should be in this format: <:Lx>pattern
L indicates Line (phone line).
The variable x is 1, 2, 3, or 4 depending on which line you want to specify.
The word pattern indicates any digit pattern (see the Dial Plan setting for more information).
The default is (
Internal Music URL. Enter the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), also known as a web address, to download a music file for the music-on-hold and call park features. This is its format: [tftp://]server_IP_address[:port]/path. TFTP is the only protocol supported for music download. The default port is 69. Saving a new URL will reboot the System. After its reboot, the System will download the file and store the samples in flash memory.
The music samples are encoded in G711u format at 8000 samples/second. This file should not contain any extra header information, and its maximum length is 65.536 seconds (524,288 bytes). For more information, refer to “Appendix D: New Music for the Music-on-Hold Feature.”
Internal Music Script. This script tells the System how to play the downloaded music file. This is its format:
[section[,(section[,...]]]
Each section should be in this format: [n (start/end[/pause])] [pause2]
The variable n is the number of times you want a section to repeat before moving to the next section.
The start/end is the starting and 1+ending sample for the section. Note that the samples are numbered from 0 to total-length - 1. You may enter -1 or a very large number if the end of the file should be the ending sample. The default start value is 0, and the default end value is the end of the file.
The variable pause is the number of samples to pause after the ending sample has been played. The default is 0.
The variable pause2 is the additional number of samples to pause after the entire n repetitions of the section have been played. The default is 0.
A maximum of 16 sections can be specified. Samples should be encoded in G711u format at 8000 samples/second. After all sections are played, they are replayed, starting with the first section.
For example, the default Internal Music Script setting is 2(0/230954),2(230954/444720),(0/230954)40000. The first section is 2(0/230954); samples 0 through 230954 will be played twice. The second section is 2(230954/444720); samples 230954 through 444720 will be played twice. The third section is (0/230954); samples 0 through 230954 will be played once.
The last section is 40000. The ending pause will last for 40,000 samples. Each sample lasts 1/8000 of a second, so 40,000 samples equals 5 seconds. When this pause is over, the sections are replayed.
Internal MOH Refresh Intvl. The System can refresh an internal music session periodically. The default is 0, which disables the refresh function.
Call Park MOH Server. Enter the name or IP address of the music-on-hold server that should be used to handle a parked call. If you do not have a music-on-hold server for the call park feature, then keep the default, imusic, and the parked caller will hear the internal music file. Otherwise, if this setting is not specified, the parked caller will hear silence.
Call Park DLG Refresh Intvl. The System can refresh a call park session periodically. The default is 0, which disables the refresh function.
Default Group Line. This is the default group of lines, 1,2,3,4.
Group 1-4 User ID. A group designates specific phones that should be paged as a group, use the same phone lines, and receive the same type of calls. For example, sales calls should go to the sales group. You can designate up to four groups. For each group, enter a comma-separated list of User IDs, each representing a different client. For example, if the sales group is Group 1, then enter the sales extensions: 501,502,503 in the Group 1 User ID field. A client can belong to more than one group. If a client does not belong to any group, then the client belongs to the default group assigned to the Default Group Line. Each User ID pattern can use * and ? wildcards as well as %xx escaped characters (refer to “Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for Advanced Users” for more details). The default is a blank field, which means that all clients belong to the default group.
Group 1-4 Line. For each group, enter a comma-separated list of phone lines the clients can use (this list determines the order in which the lines will be used). The System will make external calls for clients using the phone lines listed here. For example, for a group whose setting is 1,3, then System will use Line 1. If that is not successful, then it will use Line 3.
Hunt Groups. This defines one or more hunt groups that can be called directly by any client like a regular extension. The syntax is the same as the syntax for the Contact List. Note that a member of one group can also be the extension of another group (i.e., one level of recursion is allowed).
SIP DIDN Field. This determines which field is used to indicate the Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number for an incoming INVITE to a line interface. Select TO UserID to use the User-ID field of the TO header, or select TO Param to use a parameter in the TO header with the name specified in the SIP DIDN PARAM Name. The default is TO UserID.
SIP DIDN Param Name. This indicates the DID number in an incoming INVITE message. The default is didn. Auto Attendant Parameters AA Dial Plan 1. This is used to define the first dial rule in the auto-attendant. The default is (10x|xxx.). Refer to
“Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for Advanced Users” for more details. AA Dial Plan 2. This is used to define the second dial rule in the auto-attendant. The default is (<:10>x|xxx.). Figure 6-21: Voice - SIP Screen - Auto Attendant

AA script 1-3. These are used to define the three auto-attendant scripts. Refer to “Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for Advanced Users” for more details.
DayTime AA. To enable the daytime auto-attendant, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is yes. DayTime. Enter the daytime hours for the daytime auto-attendant in 24-hour format. Enter the start and end times in this format:
start=hh:mm:ss;end=hh:mm:ss (hh for hours, mm for minutes, and ss for seconds) For example, start=9:0:0;end=17:0:0 means the start time is 9 AM and the end time is 5 PM. The other hours
(5 PM to 9 AM) are considered nighttime hours.
If you do not enter start and end times, then the whole day (24 hours) is considered as daytime, so the nighttime auto-attendant will not be used, even if it is enabled. DayTime AA Script.

Use Auth ID. To use the authentication ID and password for SIP authentication, select yes. Otherwise, select no to use the user ID and password. The default is no.
Auth ID. Enter the authentication ID here.
Call Capacity. Select the maximum number of calls allowed on this line. (The System does not distinguish between incoming and outgoing calls when it determines its call capacity.)
Contact List. This is a list of clients that System should alert when there is an incoming call on this line. Each rule is also known as a hunt group. The default method to ring a group is to ring all the members simultaneously, unless a hunt rule is specified. The default contact list is aa (auto-attendant).
When you create this rule, follow this format: rule[|rule[|rule[...]]] The most specific rules should be placed first. Each rule should be in this format: [did:]ext[,ext[,ext[...]]][,name=gname][,hunt=hrule][,cfwd=target] The term did indicates an embedded Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number. If it is not specified, then the rule applies
to any DID number.
The term ext indicates the client extension number pattern. It accepts * and ? wildcards as well as %xx escaped characters. The term name is a name for the call group. If a hrule is specified, then the listed clients are contacted sequentially (also known as hunting); otherwise, they
will ring simultaneously. When you create this hrule, follow this format: hunt=<algo>;<interval>;<max> The term <algo> determines the order to ring the clients. It can be one of the following:
The term <interval> is the time, in seconds, to ring each client.
The term <max> is the total time, in seconds, to hunt before the call is rejected or forwarded to voicemail. If <max> is less than <interval>, it is interpreted as the number of cycles to go through the hunt group before call hunting stops. If <max> is 0, call hunting will continue indefinitely until the caller hangs up or someone answers the call.
If necessary, the call is forwarded to a user ID, called the target, in the hrule. If the target is a voicemail mailbox, then the target starts with vm. For example, the target vm3456 will have calls forwarded to voicemail with the mailbox ID 3456.
For example, the Contact List is 501,502,hunt=ne,4,1;cfwd=aa. This means that 501 will ring first for four seconds. If 501 does not pick up or is already on another call, then 502 will ring for four seconds. This cycle will repeat once before the call hunting stops. Then the call goes to the auto-attendant.
Cfwd No Ans Delay. Enter the delay, in seconds, before the call forwarding of no-answer calls feature is triggered. The default is 20.
Dial Plan Dial Plan. Enter the dial plan script for this line. Refer to “Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for Advanced Users” for more details. The default is (<9:>xx.).
NAT Settings
NAT Mapping Enable. To use externally mapped IP addresses and SIP/RTP ports in SIP messages, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is no. NAT Keep Alive Enable. To send the configured NAT keep alive message periodically, select yes. Otherwise,
select no. The default is no. NAT Keep Alive Msg. Enter the keep alive message that should be sent periodically to maintain the current NAT
mapping. If the value is $NOTIFY, then a NOTIFY message is sent. If the value is $REGISTER, then a REGISTER message without contact is sent. The default is $NOTIFY. NAT Keep Alive Dest. Enter the destination that should receive NAT keep alive messages. If the value is $PROXY,
then the messages will be sent to the current or outbound proxy. The default is $PROXY. EXT SIP Port. Enter the port number of the external port to substitute for the actual SIP port of the System in all
outgoing SIP messages. Proxy and Registration Proxy. Enter the SIP proxy server for all outbound requests. Use Outbound Proxy. To use the outbound proxy, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is no. Outbound Proxy. Enter the SIP outbound proxy server, where all outbound requests are sent for the first hop. Use OB Proxy In Dialog. To force SIP requests to be sent to the outbound proxy within a dialog, select yes.
Otherwise, select no. The default is yes.
Register. To require periodic registration with the proxy server, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is yes. Make Call Without Reg. To allow outbound calls to be made without successful registration by the System,
select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is no.
Figure 6-47: Voice - Line 1 Screen - Dial Plan
Register Expires. This is the expiration value, in seconds, of a REGISTER request. The System will periodically renew registration shortly before the current registration has expired. The default is 3600.
Ans Call Without Reg. To allow inbound calls to be answered without successful registration by the System, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is no.
Use DNS SRV. To use the DNS SRV lookup for proxy and outbound proxy, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is no.
DNS SRV Auto Prefix. To have the System automatically prepend the proxy or outbound proxy name with _sip._udp when it is performing a DNS SRV lookup on that name, select yes. Otherwise, select no. The default is no.
Proxy Fallback Intvl. This sets the delay, in seconds, after which the System will retry from the highest priority proxy (or outbound proxy) servers after it has failed over to a lower priority server. It will work only if the primary and backup proxy server list is provided to the System via the DNS SRV record lookup on the server name. The default is 3600.
Proxy Redundancy Method. The System will create an internal list of proxies returned in DNS SRV records. You have a choice of two modes. Select Normal mode if you want this list to contain proxies organized by weight and priority. Select Based on SRV Port mode if you want the System to use Normal mode first and then inspect the port number based on the first proxy’s port on the list. The default is Normal.
Mailbox Subscribe URL. Enter the URL that should receive the SUBSCRIBE messages, so the System will receive voicemail status notification for all mailboxes on this line.
Mailbox Deposit URL. Enter the URL that the System will contact when clients and external callers need to deposit voicemail in any of the mailboxes on this line.
Mailbox Manage URL. Enter the URL that the IP Telephony will contact when it needs to check voicemail for any of the mailboxes on this line.
Mailbox Status. Displayed here is the status for all mailboxes on this line. The status is automatically updated when the System receives voicemail status notification from the ITSP. The information is shown in this format:
[mailboxID:number of new messages/number of old messages[,mailboxID:number of new messages/number of old messages[,mailboxID:number of new messages/number of old messages[,...]]]]

3. I made a call from an outside line, and I did not hear a ring tone after I entered the extension number.
First, try again and make sure you entered the extension number correctly. If you still do not hear a ring tone, then follow these steps:
A. Open the web browser on the administration computer.
B. Enter http://192.168.0.1/admin/voice/status.
C. On the PBX Status screen, make sure the Internet phone for that extension number is registered.
4. I made a call from an outside line, and the auto-attendant says, “Not a valid extension, please try again.” However, I can make outgoing calls from the Internet phone with that extension number.
Follow these steps:
A. Open the web browser on the administration computer.
B. Enter http://192.168.0.1/admin/voice/advanced.
C. Click the SIP tab.
D. On the Voice - SIP screen, add the extension number to the Auto-Attendant dial plan.
5. When an outside line calls the System, it rings one time and then goes to the auto-attendant.
By default, if no one answers the call after four seconds, then the call will go to the auto-attendant. To change this setting, follow these steps:
A. Open the web browser on the administration computer.
B. Enter http://192.168.0.1/admin/voice/advanced.
C. Click the SIP tab.

11. I am not getting an IP address on the Internet with my Internet connection.
A. Refer to “Problem #10, I want to test my Internet connection” to verify that you have connectivity.
B. If you need to register the MAC address of your Ethernet adapter with your ISP, please see “Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter.” If you need to clone the MAC address of your Ethernet adapter onto the System, see the Router - WAN Setup - MAC Clone Settings section of “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility.”
C. Make sure you are using the right Internet settings. Contact your ISP to see if your Internet connection type is DHCP, Static IP Address, or PPPoE (commonly used by DSL consumers). Refer to the Router - WAN Setup - Internet Connection Settings section of “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility.”
D. Make sure you use the right cable. Check to see if the LEDs for the Internet port are lit.
E. Make sure the cable connecting from your cable or DSL modem is connected to the Internet port of the System or your network router. Verify that the Router - Status page of the System’s Web-based Utility shows a valid IP address from your ISP.
F. Power off your network devices, including the System, cable/DSL modem, and router (if you have a separate router). Wait 30 seconds, and power on the cable/DSL modem first. Then power on the router (if used), System, and other network devices. Check the Router - Status tab of the System’s Web-based Utility to see if you get an IP address.
12. I am not able to access the System’s Web-based Utility Setup page.
A. Refer to “Problem #10, I want to test my Internet connection” to verify that your computer is properly connected to the System.
B. Refer to “Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter” to verify that your computer has an IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS.
C. Set a static IP address on your system; refer to “Problem #9: I need to set a static IP address on a PC.”
D. Refer to “Problem #17: I am a PPPoE user, and I need to remove the proxy settings or the dial-up pop-up window.”
13. I can’t get my Virtual Private Network (VPN) to work through the System.
VPNs that use IPSec with the ESP (Encapsulation Security Payload known as protocol 50) authentication will work fine. At least one IPSec session will work through the System; however, simultaneous IPSec sessions may be possible, depending on the specifics of your VPNs.
VPNs that use IPSec and AH (Authentication Header known as protocol 51) are incompatible with the System. AH has limitations due to occasional incompatibility with the NAT standard.
Change the IP address for the System to another subnet to avoid a conflict between the VPN IP address and your local IP address. For example, if your VPN server assigns an IP address 192.168.0.X (X is a number from 1 to 254) and your local LAN IP address is 192.168.0.X (X is the same number used in the VPN IP address), the System will have difficulties routing information to the right location. If you change the System’s IP address to 192.168.2.1, that should solve the problem. Change the System’s IP address through the Router - LAN Setup tab of the Web-based Utility. If you assigned a static IP address to any computer or network device on the network, you need to change its IP address accordingly to 192.168.2.Y (Y being any number from 1 to 254). Note that each IP address must be unique within the network.
Your VPN may require port 500/UDP packets to be passed to the computer that is connecting to the IPSec server. Refer to “Problem #15, I need to set up online game hosting or use other Internet applications” for details. Check the Linksys website at www.linksys.com for more information.
14. I need to set up a server behind my System.
To use a server like a web, ftp, or mail server, you need to know the respective port numbers they are using. For example, port 80 (HTTP) is used for web; port 21 (FTP) is used for FTP, and port 25 (SMTP outgoing) and port 110 (POP3 incoming) are used for the mail server. You can get more information by viewing the documentation provided with the server you installed. Follow these steps to set up port forwarding through the System’s Web-based Utility. We will be setting up web, ftp, and mail servers.
A. Access the System’s Web-based Utility by going to http://192.168.0.1 or the IP address of the System. Go to the Router => Application tab.
B. Select yes from the Enable drop-down menu.
C. Enter any name you want to use for the service.
D. Enter the port range of the service you are using. For example, if you have a web server, you would enter the range 80 (in the Starting Port field) to 80 (in the Ending Port field).
E. Select the protocol you will be using, TCP or UDP, or select Both.
F. Enter the IP address of the PC or network device that you want the port server to go to. For example, if the web server’s Ethernet adapter IP address is 192.168.0.100, you would enter 100 in the field provided. Check “Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter” for details on getting an IP address.
G. Follow the instructions in steps B-F for the port services you want to use. Consider the examples below:
Enable | Service Name | Starting and Ending Ports | Protocol | IP Address |
---|---|---|---|---|
yes | Web server | 80 to 80 | Both | 192.168.0.100 |
yes | FTP server | 21 to 21 | TCP | 192.168.0.101 |
yes | SMTP (outgoing) | 25 to 25 | Both | 192.168.0.102 |
yes | POP3 (incoming) | 110 to 110 | Both | 192.168.0.102 |
When you have completed the configuration, click the Submit All Changes button.
15. I need to set up online game hosting or use other Internet applications.
If you want to play online games or use Internet applications, most will work without doing any port forwarding or DMZ hosting. There may be cases when you want to host an online game or Internet application. This would require you to set up the System to deliver incoming packets or data to a specific computer. This also applies to the Internet applications you are using. The best way to get the information on what port services to use is to go to the website of the online game or application you want to use. Follow these steps to set up online game hosting or use a certain Internet application:
A. Access the System’s Web-based Utility by going to http://192.168.0.1 or the IP address of the System. Go to the Router => Application tab.
