Chapter 1 - Introduction
Description of the RF802EW RouteFinder
Congratulations on the purchase of the Multi-Tech Systems RouteFinder model
RF802E , one of the finest broadband routers available today.
The RouteFinder RF802E provides wireless users with seamless access to their
existing wired LAN, enabling them to share broadband access to the Internet as well as
other resources. Using the IEEE 802.11b wireless standard, the RouteFinder provides
increased speed--up to 11 Mbps--and mobility between the desktop, conference room,
or campus. It supports a DSL or cable modem connection to the Internet to provide
shared Internet access for up to 253 users. The RF802E includes one asynchronous
port for backup Internet access or dial-in remote access.
Wireless Networking. The RouteFinders integrated IEEE 802.11b-compliant access
point provides mobility, enabling access to shared resources without requiring a
physical connection. The RouteFinder also communicates with other access points on
the network to provide roaming from one cell to another.
Connects up to 253 internal IP addresses to the Internet with broadband
speed. The RouteFinder can be configured as a DHCP server to handle requests for
Internet services and route to and from the ISP. Up to 253 internal IP addresses are
connected to the Internet with only one IP account. The AN Ethernet port has a
bandwidth of 10 Mbps which is 179 times faster than a 56k modem and can support
DSL or cable speeds of up to 5 Mbps.
Network Security. The RouteFinder uses 64-bit EP encryption for wireless LAN
security. EP prevents intruder access to the network and prevents the capture of
wireless LAN traffic by eavesdropping. The RouteFinder uses the NAT protocol to
provide security from hackers attempting to access the office LAN without the extra cost
of a firewall. It implements firewall and gateway security for LAN-based resources.
Additionally, the RouteFinder supports Internet access restriction by IP address, client
protocols or a list of forbidden sites.
Dial ackup or Dial-in RAS Port. The RouteFinder also provides an additional
asynchronous port that, when connected to a dial-up modem or ISDN terminal adapter,
serves as a backup resource for Internet access if your cable or DSL service goes down.
It can also serve as dial-in remote access for your telecommuters or mobile users.
Virtual Server Support. In addition to providing shared Internet access, the
RouteFinder can support eb, FTP or other Internet servers. Once configured, the
RouteFinder accepts only unsolicited IP packets addressed to the eb or FTP server.
LAN Segmentation. For added LAN security, the RouteFinder can be used to segment
the LAN by connecting the corporate servers to one RouteFinder Ethernet port and the
Internet Servers to the other Ethernet port. This configuration puts the corporate
servers behind a firewall and the Internet servers outside the firewall. To continue to
provide Internet access, connect a modem, or ISDN terminal adapter to the
RouteFinders asynchronous port.

Typical Applications
The following examples provide information about typical applications using the
RF802E . They describe using the RF802E to connect a remote site via a cable
modem, using the RF802E to segment a local area network, and using the RF802E
to connect a LAN to the Internet using one shared IP address.
Connecting a Remote Site via Cable Modem
In the following example the RF802E is used to connect a LAN to the Internet via DSL
or a cable modem.
Kernal: NAT (outgoing TCP/IP connection sharing a single Internet IP address
or using multiple IP mapping)
Virtual Server (allowing incoming specific TCP/IP service request
redirect to an internal server)
Static Routing (Routing table setting to Internal Local Gateways)
Firewall
External: Fixed External Port IP or DHCP client (Dynamic IP assigned)
Internal: Device Fixed IP
DHCP Server
Connect Remote Site via Cable Modem
Connecting a Local Site to the Internet
In this application, the RF802E is used to connect up to 253 Internal IP addresses to
the Internet using a single shared external IP address.
Kernal: NAT (outgoing TCP/IP connection sharing single External Port IP or using
multiple IP Mapping)
Virtual Server (allow incoming specific TCP/IP service request redirect
to internal server)
Firewall
External: Fixed External Port IP and mask DNS IP, Gateway IP or DHCP client
(Dynamic IP for the device, DNS and Gateway assigned.)
Internal: Device Fixed IP
DHCP Server
Connect Local Site (I External IP address = 253 Internal IP addresses)
