Preface
Thank you for placing your trust in this
LANCOM
product.
The top models of the LANCOM VPN series serve as extremely powerful
Dynamic VPN gateways for medium-sized and large locations.
Due to the Fast Ethernet uplink, LANCOM devices are ideal partners for all
connection variants.
Integrated LANCOM High Security Firewall
With 200 up to 1000 VPN channels the LANCOM VPN series offers
enough capacity for high-bandwidth couplings (LANCOM 8011 VPN with
hardware accelerator).
With the IPSec extension LANCOM dynamic VPN it is possible to connect
branch offices with dynamic IP addresses (standard broadband connec-
tion) at any time—even if the receiving station is not online.
DMZ ports and separate internet address ranges (without NAT) support
the operation of your own web servers.
The IP quality of service functions provide dynamic bandwidth manage-
ment, in particular for Voice over IP telephone systems, for critical appli-
cations or for certain user groups.
Due to its N:N IP address mapping also existing networks can be inte-
grated seamlessly into VPNs.
The provided management tools LANconfig and LANmonitor support a
complete real time monitoring apart from comfortable remote mainte-
nance of the branch offices.
Further highlights are the extensive Firewall features, for example the
Stateful Inspection, Intrusion Detection and protection from Denial-of-
Service attacks.
Regular free software updates of the LANCOM operating system LCOS are
available at any time.
Security settings
For a carefree use of your device, we recommend to carry out all security set-
tings (e.g. Firewall, encryption, access protection, charge lock), which are not
already activated at the time of purchase of your device. The LANconfig wizard
’Check Security Settings’ will support you accomplishing this. Further informa-
tion regarding this topic can be found in chapter ’Security settings’

1Introduction
The models of the LANCOM VPN series operate as powerful Dynamic VPN
gateways with 200, 500 or 1000 VPN channels for remote sites or mobile
users.
Due to the Fast Ethernet uplink, the devices are the ideal partner for almost
all WAN connection variants. The integrated multi protocol router and the
integrated firewall enable a secure internet access for the local network. The
ISDN interface is mainly used to establish Dynamic VPN connections to remote
sites with dynamic IP addresses.
1.1 Which use does VPN offer?
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) can be used to set up cost-effective, public
IP networks, for example via the ultimate network: the Internet.
The models LANCOM 7011 VPN and LANCOM 8011 VPN are
equipped with 200 VPN channels by default. With the additional
LANCOM VPN Option the LANCOM 8011 VPN can be upgraded to
500 or 1000 channels.
While this may sound unspectacular at first, in practice it has profound effects.
To illustrate this, let's first look at a typical corporate network without VPN
technology. In the second step, we will see how this network can be optimized
by the deployment of VPN.
LANCOM 7011 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 1: Introduction

Conventional network infrastructure
First, let's have a look at a typical network structure that can be found in this
form or similar forms in many companies:
The corporate network is based on the internal network (LAN) in the head-
quarters. This LAN is connected to the outside world in three ways:
A subsidiary is connected to the LAN, typically using a leased line.
PCs dial into the central network via modem or ISDN connections (Remote
Access Service – RAS).
The central LAN has a connection to the Internet so that its users can
access the Web, and send and receive e-mail.
All connections to the outside world are based on dedicated lines, i.e.
switched or leased lines. Dedicated lines are very reliable and secure. On the
other hand, they involve high costs. In general, the costs for dedicated lines
are dependent on the distance. Especially in the case of long-distance con-
nections, keeping an eye out of cost-effective alternatives can be worthwhile.
The appropriate hardware must be available in the headquarters for every
type of required connection (analog dial-up, ISDN, leased lines). In addition

to the original investment costs, ongoing costs are also incurred for the
administration and maintenance of this equipment.
Networking via the Internet
The following structure results when using the Internet instead of direct con-
nections :
All participants have fixed or dial-up connections to the Internet. Expensive
dedicated lines are no longer needed.
All that is required is the Internet connection of the LAN in the headquar-
ters. Special switching devices or routers for dedicated lines to individual
participants are superfluous.
The subsidiary also has its own connection to the Internet.
The RAS PCs connect to the headquarters LAN via the Internet.
The Internet is available virtually everywhere and typically has low access
costs. Significant savings can thus be achieved in relation to switched or ded-
icated connections, especially over long distances.
The physical connection no longer exists directly between two participants;
instead, the participants rely on their connection to the Internet. The access
technology used is not relevant in this case: ideally is the use of broadband

technologies such as DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) or G.703 (2-Mbit leased
lines). But also a conventional ISDN line can be used.
The technologies of the individual participants do not have to be compatible
to one another, as would be the case for conventional direct connections. A
single Internet access can be used to establish multiple simultaneous logical
connections to a variety of remote stations.
The resulting savings and high flexibility makes the Internet (or any other IP
network) an outstanding backbone for a corporate network.
1.2 Firewall
The integrated Stateful Inspection Firewall ensures an effective protection
against undesired intrusion in your network by permitting only incoming data
traffic as reaction to outgoing data traffic. The router’s IP masquerading func-
tion hides all workstations of the LAN behind a single public IP address. The
actual identities (IP addresses) of the individual workstations remain con-
cealed. Firewall filters of the router permit specific IP addresses, protocols and
ports to be blocked. With MAC address filters it is also possible to specifically
monitor the access of workstations in the LAN to the IP routing function of the
device.
Further important features of the Firewall are
Intrusion Detection
Break-in attempts into the local network or on the central Firewall are rec-
ognized, repelled and logged by the Intrusion Detection system (IDS) of
the LANCOM Wireless DSL. Thereby it can be selected between logging
within the device, email notification, SNMP trap or SYSLOG alarms.

Denial-of-Service Protection
Attacks from the Internet can be break-in attempts as well as attacks with
the aim of blocking the accessibility and functionality of individual
services. Therefore a LANCOM Wireless DSL is equipped with appropriate
protective mechanisms, which recognize well-known hacker attacks and
which guarantee the functionality.
Quality-of-Service / Traffic management
The generic term Quality-of-Service (brief: QoS) summarizes the functions
of the LANCOM which guarantee certain service qualities. The advantage
is that the QoS functions can take place by means of the existing powerful
classification methods of the Firewall (e.g. limitation of subnetworks,
single workstations or certain services).
Guaranteed minimum bandwidths give priority to enterprise critical appli-
cations, VoIP PBX installations or certain user groups.
More details about the function of the Stateful Inspection Firewall of
your LANCOM VPN can be found in the reference manual on the LAN-
COM CD.
1.3 What does a router do?
The following sections describe the functionality of routers in general.
The functions supported by your device are listed in the table ’What
can your LANCOM VPN do?’ page 15.
Routers connect LANs at different locations and individual PCs to form a Wide
Area Network (WAN). With the appropriate rights, any computer in this WAN
can access other computers and services of the complete WAN (as with 'PC 1'
accessing 'Server A' in the remote LAN in the diagram).

Connecting a LAN to the Internet does not technically differ from coupling
two LANs. The only difference is that it is not just a handful of computers
behind the Internet provider's router. Instead, it is the net of the networks -
the public Internet.
1.3.1 Bridgehead to the WAN
All routers have at least two connections:
at least one for the LAN
at least one for WAN connections
In addition to LAN connectivity (10/100 Mbps Ethernet), several models also
offer an integrated switch. For the connecting to the WAN, the routers use
ISDN, xDSL/cable or ADSL connectors. Several devices contain additionally a
wireless network card and can thus integrate also stations of WLANs (Wireless
LANs) into the routing.
The router's task is to transfer data from the local network to the target net-
work via a suitable WAN connection. Data is also transferred from the WAN
to the desired recipients in the LAN.
1.3.2 Areas of deployment for routers
Routers are mainly used for the following applications:
Internet access for a LAN (e.g. via DSL or ISDN)
The Internet consists of countless large and small networks that are inter-
connected into the world's largest WAN via routers. The router links all the
workstation computers on your local area network to the global Internet.
Security functions such as IP masquerading protect your LAN against
unauthorized access from outside.
LAN to LAN coupling (via VPN or ISDN)
LAN to LAN coupling links individual LANs to form one large network,
even if this means crossing continents. A typical example: A branch office
is to be connected to the LAN of the headquarters. In principle, you can
connect LANs in two ways:
Not possible with
all LANCOM
devices.
High-speed coupling via VPN
The fastest and most economical LAN to LAN links are possible with
VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology, as VPN uses the Internet as
the basis for its communications. The fast xDSL connection of the
router comes into its own here. The precondition: a VPN gateway with
LANCOM 7011 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 1: Introduction
15
EN
access to the Internet is required on either side of the network inter-
connection.
Conventional via ISDN
Without VPN, a LAN to LAN interconnection can alternatively be real-
ized via ISDN. In this case, an intelligent line management and
sophisticated filter mechanisms keeps connection costs low.
Remote access to the company network (via VPN or ISDN)
The work of many office workers in modern organizations is less and less
dependent on any definite location—the most important factor here is
unimpaired access to shared and freely available information.
Remote Access Service (RAS) is the magic word here. Employees working
from home or field staff can dial into the company network via VPN or
ISDN. When working with remote access via ISDN, the router protects the
company network: the call back function only grants access to known and
registered users.

2.3 Introducing LANCOM VPN
This section introduces your device. We will give you an overview of all status
displays, connections and switches.
While the information in this section is useful for the installation of the
device, it is not absolutely essential. You may therefore skip this sec-
tion for the time being and go straight forward to ’Hardware installa-
tion’ page 25.
2.3.1 Status displays
The front and the rear panels (LANCOM 7011 VPN) of the unit feature a series
of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that provide information on the status of the
device. On the LANCOM 8011 VPN a two-lined display additionally shows
information on the status.

The two LEDs on the top panel provide a convenient overview of the most
important status information, especially when the device is installed vertically.
Meanings of the LEDs
In the following sections we will use different terms to describe the behaviour
of the LEDs:
Blinking means, that the LED is switched on or off at regular intervals in
the respective indicated colour.
Flashing means, that the LED lights up very briefly in the respective col-
our and stay then clearly longer (approximately 10x longer) switched off.
Inverse flashing means the opposite. The LED lights permanently in the
respective colour and is only briefly interrupted.
Flickering means, that the LED is switched on and off in irregular inter-
vals.
Power
This LED indicates that the device is operational. After the device has been
switched on, it will flash green for the duration of the self-test. After the self-
test, either an error is output by a flashing red light code or the device starts
and the LED remains lit green.

The power LED flashes red/green in alternation until a configuration
password has been specified. Without a configuration password, the
configuration data of the LANCOM is insecure. Under normal circum-
stances, you would assign a configuration password during the basic
configuration (see instructions in the following chapter). For informa-
tion about a later assignment of the configuration password see the
section ’Security settings’ page 61.
Online
The Online LED indicates the overall status of all WAN ports:
Flashing Power LED but no connection?
There's no need to worry if the Power LED blinks red and you can no
longer connect to the WAN. This simply indicates that a preset time or
connect-charge limit has been reached. There are three methods
available for unlocking:
Reset connect charge protection.
Increase the limit that has been reached.
Completely deactivate the lock that has been triggered (set limit
to '0').
If a time or connect charge limit has been reached, you will be notified in LANmonitor. To
reset the connect charge protection, select Reset Charge and Time Limits in the context
menu (right mouse click). You can configure the connect charge settings in LANconfig under
Management / Costs (you will only be able to access this configuration if 'Complete con-
figuration display' is selected under View / Options…).

2.4 Hardware installation
The installation of the LANCOM VPN base station takes place in the following
steps:
Only LANCOM
8011 VPN
Mounting – If desired, mount the device into a free slot of a 19” rack.
LAN – connect the LANCOM VPN to your LAN or to an individual PC. For
that purpose, plug the included network cable (green plugs) into the LAN
connector of the device and the other end into a free network connect-
ing socket of your local network, into a free socket of a hub/switch or into
the network socket of an individual PC.
The LAN connector identifies automatically the transfer rate (10/100
Mbps) of the connected network device (autosensing). A parallel connec-
tion of devices with different speeds and types is possible.
You should never have more than one unconfigured LANCOM VPN in
a network segment at any given time. All unconfigured LANCOM VPN
devices use the same IP address (with the final digits '254'), which
would result in an address conflict. To avoid problems, always config-
ure multiple LANCOM VPN devices one at a time, immediately assign-
ing each device a unique IP address (one that does not end with
'254').
The reset switch has two different functions depending on the length of time that it is
pressed:
Restarting the device (soft reset) – push the button for less than five seconds. The
device will restart.
Resetting the configuration (hard reset) – push the button for more than five seconds.
All the device's LEDs will light up green and stay on. As soon as the reset switch is
released, the device will restart with factory default settings.

3 Basic configuration
The basic configuration can be performed on a step-by-step basis using a
convenient setup wizard to guide you through the setup process and prompt
you for the required information.
First, this chapter will inform you which information is required for the basic
configuration. Use this section to assemble the information you will need
before launching the wizard.
Next, enter the data in the setup wizard. Launching the wizard and the proc-
ess itself are described step by step - with separate sections for LANconfig and
WEBconfig. Thanks to the information that you have collected in advance, the
basic configuration is quick and effortless.
At the end of this chapter we will show you the settings that are needed for
the LAN's workstations to ensure trouble-free access to the router (’TCP/IP
settings to workstation PCs’ page 37).
3.1 Which information is necessary?
The basic configuration wizard will take care of the basic TCP/IP configuration
of the router, protect the device with a configuration password, and will set
up the ISDN connection if required. The following descriptions of the informa-
tion required by the wizard are grouped in these three configuration sections:
TCP/IP settings
protection of the configuration
information on DSL connection
information on ISDN connection
configuring connect charge protection
3.1.1 TCP/IP settings
The TCP/IP configuration can be realized in two ways: either as a fully auto-
matic configuration or manually. No user input is required for the fully auto-
matic TCP/IP configuration. All parameters are set automatically by the setup
wizard. During manual TCP/IP configuration, the wizard will prompt you for
the usual TCP/IP parameters: IP address, netmask etc. (more on these topics
later).
Fully automatic TCP/IP configuration is only possible in certain network envi-
ronments. The setup wizard therefore analyses the connected LAN to deter-
mine whether it supports fully automatic configuration.
LANCOM 7011 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 3: Basic configuration

EN
New LAN—fully automatic configuration possible
If all connected network devices are still unconfigured, the setup wizard will
suggest fully automatic TCP/IP configuration. This may be the case in the fol-
lowing situations:
a single PC is connected to the router
setup of a new network
Fully automatic TCP/IP configuration will not be available when integrating
the LANCOM VPN in an existing TCP/IP LAN. In this case, continue with the
section ’Information required for manual TCP/IP configuration’ page 30.
The result of the fully automatic TCP/IP configuration: the router will be
assigned the IP address '172.23.56.1' (netmask '255.255.255.0'). In addition,
the integrated DHCP server will be enabled so that the LANCOM VPN can
automatically assign IP addresses to the devices in the LAN.
Configure manually nevertheless?
The fully automatic TCP/IP configuration is optional. You may also select man-
ual configuration instead. Make your selection after the following considera-
tions:
Choose automatic configuration if you are not familiar with networks and
IP addresses.
Select manual TCP/IP configuration if you are familiar with networks and
IP addresses, and one of the following conditions is applicable:
You have not yet used IP addresses in your network but would like to
do so now. You would like to specify the IP address for your router,
selecting it from the address range reserved for private use, e.g.
'10.0.0.1' with the netmask '255.255.255.0'. At the same time you
will set the address range that the DHCP server uses for the other
devices in the network (provided that the DHCP server is switched on).
You have previously used IP addresses for the computers in your LAN.
Information required for manual TCP/IP configuration
During manual TCP/IP configuration, the setup wizard will prompt you for the
following information:
IP address and netmask for the LANCOM VPN
Assign a free IP address from the address range of your LAN to the
LANCOM VPN and specify the netmask.
LANCOM 7011 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 3: Basic configuration
31
EN
Enable DHCP server?
Disable the DHCP server function in the LANCOM VPN if you would like to
have a different DHCP server assign the IP addresses in your LAN.
3.1.2 Configuration protection
The password for configuration access to the LANCOM VPN protects the con-
figuration against unauthorized access. The configuration of the router con-
tains a considerable amount of sensitive information such as your Internet
access information. We therefore strongly recommend protecting it with a
password.
The setup wizard for the basic configuration automatically disables remote
configuration access via ISDN, thus protecting your configuration against
tampering. ISDN remote configuration access can be enabled at any time
using the security wizard (see ’Have you permitted remote configuration?
page 64).
3.1.3 Settings for the WAN connection
For the WAN connection it may be necessary to enter the transfer protocol
being used. The wizard will e.g. automatically enter the correct settings for
major DSL providers. You only need to enter the protocol used by your access
provider if the wizard does not list your provider.
3.1.4 Settings for the ISDN connection
Set up the basic configuration of your ISDN connection if required. You will
need the following data:
One or more ISDN MSNs on which the router will accept calls. MSNs are
ISDN subscriber numbers that are assigned to you by your telephone pro-
vider. They are normally entered without an area code. These numbers are
only relevant for the router functions (LAN to LAN coupling, RAS), not for
remote configuration and LANCOM VPN Option.
A dialing prefix for access to the public telephone network. This is nor-
mally required only when using an ISDN PBX. '0' is the usual prefix. It is
used for all outgoing calls.
Finally, you should know whether your telephone provider transmits an
ISDN connect-charge pulse. This signal can be used LANCOM VPN for
connect-charge budgets and the accounting function.

3.1.5 Connect charge protection
Connect charge protection blocks connections that go beyond a previously set
amount, protecting you from unexpectedly high connection costs.
In LANCOM VPN, there are three independent budgets: For DSL access, you
can set a maximum connection time in minutes. In addition to this time
budget, there is also a budget for limiting ISDN connection charges.
In order for the limitations according to connect charge rates to func-
tion properly, it is necessary to enter the information for connect
charge rates through ISDN.
Any budget can be deactivated by entering the value '0'.
It is possible to completely turn off connect charge protection
3.2 Instructions for LANconfig
Start up LANconfig by clicking Start Programs LANCOM
LANconfig
LANconfig automatically detects the new LANCOM VPN in the TCP/IP net-
work. Then the setup wizard starts that will help you make the basic set-
tings of the device or will even do all the work for you (provided a suitable
network environment exists).
If the setup wizard does not start automatically, start a manual search
for new devices on all ports (if the LANCOM VPN is connected via a
serial port) or in the network (Device Find).
If you cannot access an unconfigured LANCOM VPN, the problem may
be due to the netmask of the LAN: with less than 254 possible hosts

In addition, you may specify whether the device may only be configured
from the local network or whether remote configuration via the WAN (i.e.
a remote network) is also permissible.
Please note that enabling this will also permit remote configuration
via the Internet. You should always make sure that the configuration
access is protected with a password.
In the next window, select your DSL provider from the list that is displayed.
If you select 'My provider is not listed here,' you must enter the transfer
protocol used by your DSL provider manually. Confirm your choice with
Next.
Enter the ISDN subscriber numbers (as MSNs, i.e. without area code) on
which the router will accept calls. Multiple numbers are separated by
semicolons. If you do not specify any MSNs, the router will answer all
incoming calls on the ISDN connection.
In addition, you can enter a trunk code for dialling into ISDN. Finally, you
should specify whether or not the tariff information is to be transmitted at
your ISDN connection. Confirm your choice with Next.
Connect charge protection can limit the cost of DSL and ISDN connections
to a predetermined amount if desired. Confirm your choice with Next.

Section ’TCP/IP settings to workstation PCs’ on page 37 will describe
the settings required for the individual workstations in the LAN.
3.3 Instructions for WEBconfig
To configure the router with WEBconfig you must know how to address it in
the LAN. An unconfigured LANCOM VPN always reacts to a certain IP address,
and in some network configurations even to a name.
Does my LANCOM VPN react to a name?
If you do not yet have a DHCP or DNS server on your LAN, the router reacts to
any name (like 'LANCOM' or 'Router') that you specify in the URL address field
of a web browser.
If you don't know whether IP addresses have been used in your net-
work up until now, display the IP address of your own PC (see the fol-
lowing section). If the 'IP Address' field contains the value '0.0.0.0',
this indicates that an IP address has not yet been assigned to the net-
work card.
What is the IP address of the LANCOM VPN?
The IP address of an unconfigured LANCOM VPN results from the IP address
of your PC by replacing the last number of its IP address (after the third dot)
with 254.
For example, if your PC is assigned the IP address 10.0.0.17, then you will find
an unconfigured LANCOM VPN under the address 10.0.0.254. The IP address
of your PC can be displayed (depending on the operating system) with the fol-
lowing command line commands (entry under Windows at the command
prompt):
Operating system Command in the command line
Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95 winipcfg

Starting the wizards in WEBconfig
Start your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator,
Opera) and call the LANCOM VPN there:
http://<IP address of the LANCOM>
(or with any desired name)
If you cannot access an unconfigured LANCOM VPN, the problem may
be due to the netmask of the LAN: with less than 254 possible hosts
(netmask > '255.255.255.0'), please ensure that the IP address
'x.x.x.254' is located in your own subnet.

The setup wizards are tailored precisely to the functionality of the spe-
cific LANCOM VPN. As a result, your device may offer different wizards
than those shown here.
If you have chosen automatic TCP/IP configuration, please continue with
Step .
If you would like to configure the TCP/IP settings manually, assign an
available address from a suitable address range to the LANCOM VPN. Also
set whether or not it is to operate as a DHCP server. Confirm your entry
with Apply.
In the following 'Security settings' window, specify a password for config-
uration access. Note that the password is case-sensitive and ensure that
it is sufficiently long (at least 6 characters).
You may specify whether the device may only be configured from the local
network or whether remote configuration via the WAN (i.e. a remote net-
work) is also permissible.
Please note that enabling this will also permit remote configuration
via the Internet. You should always make sure that the configuration
access is suitably protected, e.g. with a password.
Remote configuration via a direct ISDN connection is available independ-
ently of the WAN remote configuration: in this case, the configuration PC
establishes a direct dial-up ISDN connection to the LANCOM VPN, for
example using Windows Dial-Up Networking. ISDN remote configuration
can be enabled by specifying an MSN/terminal device selection digit for
it. In this case, the LANCOM VPN will accept calls on that MSN/terminal
device selection digit and can be remotely configured via the ISDN con-
nection.
Confirm your selection with Apply.
In the next window, select your DSL provider from the list that is displayed.
Confirm your choice with Apply.
If you select 'My provider is not listed here,' you must enter the transfer
protocol used by your DSL provider manually in the next window. Confirm
your choice with Apply.

In addition, you can enter a trunk code for dialling into ISDN. Finally, you
should specify whether or not the tariff information is to be transmitted at
your ISDN connection. Confirm your entries with Apply.
The basic setup wizard reports that all the necessary information has been
provided. You can end the wizard with Go on.
TCP/IP settings to workstation PCs
The correct addressing of all devices within a LAN is extremely important for
TCP/IP networks. In addition, all computers must know the IP addresses of two
central points in the LAN:
Default gateway – receives all packets that are not addressed to comput-
ers within the local network.
DNS server – translates network names (www.lancom.de) or names of
computers (www.lancom.de) to actual IP addresses.
The LANCOM VPN can perform the functions of both a default gateway and a
DNS server. In addition, as a DHCP server it can also automatically assign valid
IP addresses to all of the computers in the LAN.
The correct TCP/IP configuration of the PCs in the LAN depends on the method
used to assign IP addresses within the LAN:
Entering the password in the web browser
When you are prompted for a password by your
web browser when accessing the device in the
future, enter it in the Password field. Please
note that the password is case-sensitive. Leave
the User Name field blank.
Entering the configuration password

Chapter 3: Basic configuration
38
EN
IP address assignment via the LANCOM VPN (default)
In this operating mode the LANCOM VPN not only assigns IP addresses to
the PCs in the LAN, it also uses DHCP to specify its own IP address as that
of the default gateway and DNS server. The PCs must therefore be config-
ured so that they automatically obtain their own IP address and the IP
addresses of the standard gateway and DNS server (via DHCP).
IP address assignment via a separate DHCP server
The workstation PCs must be configured so that they automatically obtain
their own IP address and the IP addresses of the standard gateway and
DNS server (via DHCP). The IP address of the LANCOM VPN must be stored
on the DHCP server so that the DHCP server transmits it to the PCs in the
LAN as the standard gateway. In addition, the DHCP server should also
specify the LANCOM VPN as a DNS server.
Manual IP address assignment
If the IP addresses in the network are assigned static ally, then for each PC
the IP address of the LANCOM VPN must be set in the TCP/IP configuration
as the standard gateway and as a DNS server.
For further information and help on the TCP/IP settings of your
LANCOM VPN, please see the reference manual. For more information
on the network configuration of the workstation computers, please
refer to the documentation of your operating system.

4 Setting up Internet access
All computers in the LAN can take advantage of the central Internet access of
the LANCOM VPN. The connection to the Internet provider can be established
via any WAN connection. Internet access via ISDN can be used as a backup
connection for DSL, for example.
Does the setup wizard know your Internet provider?
A convenient wizard is available to help you set up Internet access. The wizard
knows the access information of major Internet providers and will offer you a
list of providers to choose from. If you find your Internet service provider on
this list, you normally will not have to enter any further transfer parameters to
configure your Internet access. Only the authentication data that are supplied
by your provider are required.
Additional information for unknown Internet providers
If the setup wizard does not know your Internet provider, it will prompt you
for all of the required information step by step. Your provider will supply this
information.
DSL
Protocol: PPPoE, PPTP or Plain Ethernet (IPoE)
Additionally for Plain Ethernet: own public IP address with netmask
(not to be confused with the private LAN IP address), default gateway
and DNS server. These values can be received automatically from pro-
viders that support DHCP.

Additional connection options
You may also enable or disable further options in the wizard, depending on
whether or not they are supported by your Internet provider:
Time-based billing or flat rate – select the accounting model used by your
Internet provider.
When using time-based billing, you can set the LANCOM VPN to
automatically close existing connections if no data has been trans-
ferred within a specified time (the so-called idle time).
In addition, you can activate a line monitor that identifies inactive
remote stations faster and therefore can close the connection before
the idle time has elapsed.
Active line monitoring can also be used with flat rate billing to con-
tinuously check the function of the remote station.
You also have the option of keeping flat rate connections alive if
required. Dropped connections are then automatically re-established.
Dynamic channel bundling (ISDN only)
if required, the second ISDN B-channel will automatically be bundled
to the connection. This doubles the available bandwidth; it may also
double your connect charges as well, however. What's more, your
ISDN connection will be busy in this case, with all other incoming and
outgoing calls being rejected.
Data compression (ISDN only)
this permits an additional increase in data throughput.

5 Linking two networks
With the network interconnection (also known as LAN to LAN coupling) of the
LANCOM VPN, two local networks are linked. The LAN to LAN coupling can
be realized in principle in two different ways:
VPN: For coupling via VPN, the connection between both LANs is estab-
lished over a specially secured connection through the public Internet. A
router with VPN support is required in both LANs.
ISDN: For coupling via ISDN, a direct connection between both LANs is
established over an ISDN connection. A router with ISDN interface is
required in both LANs.
Always configure both sides
Both routers involved in the network interconnection must be configured.
Care must be taken to ensure that the configuration information provided
matches.
The following instructions will assume that LANCOM VPN routers are
being used on both sides. A network interconnection may also be
realized with routers from other manufacturers. A mixed setup usually
requires more extensive configuration measures for both devices,
however. Please refer to the reference manual for more information in
this regard.
A setup wizard handles the configuration of the connection in the usual con-
venient manner.
Security aspects
You must, of course, protect your LAN against unauthorized access. A
LANCOM VPN therefore offers a whole range of security mechanisms that can
provide an outstanding level of protection:
VPN: Network couplings via VPN transmit data by IPSec. The data are
encrypted by AES, 3-DES, Blowfish or CAST encryption algorithms.
ISDN: For network couplings via ISDN, the connection password, the
checking of the ISDN number and the callback function ensure the secu-
rity of the connection.

The ISDN call back function cannot be configured using the wizard. It
can only be set up in the expert configuration. For details, please see
the reference manual.
5.1 What information is necessary?
The wizard will prompt you for the necessary information on a step-by-step
basis. If possible, however, you should have it available before launching the
wizard.
To explain the significance of the information requested by the wizard, we will
be using a typical deployment as an example: setting up a link between a
branch office and its headquarters. The routers involved are named
'HEAD_OFFICE' and 'BRANCH'.
Please refer to the following tables for the entries to be made for each of the
routers. Arrows mark the dependencies between the entries.

In case your device has an ISDN connection, the wizard asks whether the
remote site has ISDN as well.
The type of IP address must be stated for both sides for VPN connections
via the Internet. There are two types of IP addresses: static and dynamic.
An explanation of the two IP address types can be found in the reference
manual.
Thanks to Dynamic VPN, connections can be enabled not only
between gateways with fixed, static IP addresses, but even between gate-
ways with dynamic IP addresses. The active initiation of VPN connec-
tions towards remote sites with dynamic IP addresses requires ISDN.
If you haven't already named your LANCOM VPN, the wizard will ask you
for a new, unique device name. With this entry, you will rename your
LANCOM VPN. Be sure to give the two devices different names.
The name of the remote station is needed for its identification.
Enter the subscriber number of the remote station in the ISDN subscriber
number field. The complete subscriber number including all necessary
area and country codes is required.
The stated ISDN caller ID is used to identify and authenticate callers.
When a LANCOM VPN receives a call, it compares the ISDN caller ID
entered for the remote station with the actual caller ID transferred via the
D channel. An ISDN caller ID generally consists of an area code and an
MSN.

The password for the ISDN connection is an alternative to the use of
the ISDN caller ID. It is always used to authenticate callers that do not
send an ISDN caller ID. The exact same password must be entered on both
sides. It is used for calls in both directions.
The Shared Secret is the central password for security within the VPN.
The exact same password has to be entered on both sides
Data compression increases the transfer speed of the connection at no
additional cost. This is completely unlike the bundling of two ISDN- chan-
nels with MLPPP (Multi Link PPP): The transfer rate will be doubled but
there will also be additional telephone costs for two connections.
5.1.2 Settings for the TCP/IP router
In TCP/IP networks, addressing has a special significance. Please note that
two interconnected networks are logically separate from one another. Each
must therefore have its own network number (in our example, '10.0.1.x' and
'10.0.2.x'). These network numbers may not be identical.
Unlike when accessing the Internet, all of the IP addresses in the involved net-
works are visible on the remote side when coupling networks, not just those
of the router. The computer with the IP address 10.0.2.10 in the branch office
LAN sees the server 10.0.1.2 in the headquarters and can access it (assuming
it has the appropriate rights), and vice versa.

DNS access to the remote LAN
Thanks to DNS, it is not only possible to access remote computers in a TCP/IP
network via their IP address, but also by using freely defined names.
For example, the computer with the name 'pc1.branch.company' (IP
10.0.2.10) will not only be able to access the server of the head office via its
IP address, but also via its name, 'server.head.company'. The only precondi-
tion: the domain of the remote network in the wizard must be specified.
The domain can only be specified in the LANconfig wizard. In
WEBconfig, enter the appropriate information later in the expert con-
figuration. For more information, see the LANCOM VPN reference
manual.
Extranet VPN
Finally, one can decide whether access to local stations is permitted. In this
'Extranet VPN' operating mode, the IP stations do not expose their IP address
to the remote LAN, rather they will be hidden behind the VPN gateway's IP
address instead.
Therefore, the stations within the remote LAN cannot access IP stations in the
other LAN directly. For example, if a headquarters. LAN in 'Extranet VPN'
mode is hidden behind its gateway's address '10.10.2.100', and on of its IP
stations (e.g. '10.10.2.13') accesses the IP station '10.10.1.2' of the branch
office, then the branch office.s IP stations deems to be a accessed by
'10.10.2.100'. The true IP address of the accessor ('10.10.2.13') is hidden.
If two LANs shall be coupled in Extranet mode, please ensure to enter the
'outbound' Extranet IP address of the remote site, not its Intranet address.
According to the example, this was '10.10.2.100'. The appropriate netmask
for the Extranet IP address would be '255.255.255.255' then.
5.1.3 Settings for the IPX router
The coupling of IPX networks via VPN cannot be configured using the
wizard. It can only be set up in the expert configuration. For details,
please see the reference manual.
Coupling two typical IPX networks to form a WAN requires three IPX network
numbers:
LANCOM 7011 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 5: Linking two networks

EN
for the LAN of the head office
for the LAN of the branch office
for the higher-level WAN
The IPX network numbers in the head and branch offices are specified to the
respective remote sides.
The three required network numbers are designated as “External Network
Numbers” by the IPX conventions. Like IP network addresses, the apply to an
entire LAN segment. On the other hand, internal IPX numbers are used to
address specific Novell servers in the LAN. All three specified network num-
bers must be distinct from one another and from all used internal IPX network
numbers.
In addition, it may be necessary to enter the frame type (“binding”).
Specifying the IPX network number and binding used is not necessary if the
remote network also contains a Novell server. It is only necessary to enter the
network number for the WAN manually in this case.
5.1.4 Settings for NetBIOS routing
NetBIOS routing can be set up quickly: All that is required in addition to the
information for the TCP/IP protocol used is the name of a Windows workgroup
from in the router's own LAN.

6 Providing dial-up access
Your LANCOM VPN supports dial-up connections to permit individual com-
puters full access to your network. This service is also known as RAS (Remote
Access Service). In principle, the RAS access can be realized in two different
ways:
VPN: For a RAS access via VPN, the connection between the LAN and the
dial-in PC is established over a specially secured connection through the
public Internet. The router in the LAN requires VPN support, the dial-in PC
an access to the Internet and the LANCOM VPN Client.
ISDN: For a RAS access via ISDN, a direct connection between the LAN
and the dial-in PC is established over an ISDN dial-up connection. The
router in the LAN requires an ISDN interface, the dial-up PC an ISDN
adapter or an ISDN modem. The data transfer protocol is PPP. Therefore,
the support of all usual devices and operating systems is ensured.
A setup wizard handles the configuration of the dial-up connection in the
usual convenient manner.
Security aspects
You must, of course, protect your LAN against unauthorized access. An
LANCOM VPN therefore offers a whole range of security mechanisms that can
provide an outstanding level of protection:
VPN: Network couplings via VPN transmit data by IPSec. The data are
encrypted by AES, 3-DES, Blowfish or CAST encryption algorithms.
ISDN: For network couplings via ISDN, the connection password, the
checking of the ISDN number and the callback function ensure the secu-
rity of the connection.
The ISDN call back function cannot be configured using the wizard. It
can only be set up in the expert configuration. For details, please see
the reference manual.
6.1 Which information is required?
The wizard will set up dial-up access for only one user. Please run the wizard
again for each additional user.

6.1.1 General information
The following entries are required to set up a RAS connection. The first column
indicates whether the information is required for a VPN and/or an ISDN con-
nection. .
Notes to the individual values:
User name and password: Users authenticate themselves with this
information when dialling in.
Incoming number: The LANCOM VPN uses the optional ISDN caller ID
as an additional user authentication. This security function should not be
used when users dial in from differing locations.
Please refer to chapter ’Linking two networks’ page 42 for advice
about the other values required for the installation of a RAS access.
Coupling Entry
VPN + ISDN User name
VPN + ISDN Password

The ISDN calling line identity (CLI)
The ISDN caller IDalso known as CLI (Calling Line Identity)this is the telephone number
of the caller which is transmitted to the participant receiving the call. As a rule, it consists of
the country and area codes and an MSN.
The CLI is well-suited for authentication purposes for two reasons: it is very difficult to manip-
ulate, and the number is transferred free of charge via the ISDN control channel (D-channel).
LANCOM 7011 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 6: Providing dial- up access

EN
6.1.2 Settings for TCP/IP
Each active RAS user must be assigned an IP address when using the TCP/IP
protocol.
This IP address can be permanently assigned when setting up a user. However,
it is simpler to let the LANCOM VPN automatically assign free IP addresses to
users when they dial in. In this case you only need to specify the IP address
range that the LANCOM VPN should use for RAS users.
During both manual and automatic IP address assignment, please ensure that
only free addresses from the address range of your local network are used. In
our example, the IP address '10.0.1.101' will be assigned to the PC when con-
necting.
This IP address makes the computer a fully-fledged member of the LAN: with
the appropriate rights, it can access all of the other devices in the LAN. The
same applies in the other direction as well: computers in the LAN will also be
able to access the remote machine.
6.1.3 Settings for IPX
Two IPX network numbers must be provided for remote access to an IPX net-
work:
the IPX network number of the head office
an additional IPX network number for the higher-level WAN

The required network numbers are designated as “External Network Num-
bers”. Like IP network addresses, they apply to an entire LAN segment. On the
other hand, internal IPX numbers are used to address specific Novell servers
in the LAN. All three specified network numbers must be distinct from one
another and from all used internal IPX network numbers.
In addition, it may be necessary to enter the frame type (“binding”).
Specifying the IPX network number and binding used is not necessary if the
remote network also contains a Novell server. A network number for the WAN
must also be entered manually in this case, however.
6.1.4 Settings for NetBIOS routing
All that is required to use NetBIOS is the name of a Windows workgroup from
the router's own LAN.
The connection is not established automatically. The RAS user must
manually establish a connection to the LANCOM VPN via Dial-Up
Networking first. When connected, they can search for and access
computers in the remote network (via Find Computers, not
through the Network Neighbourhood).

With LANCAPI by LANCOM it is possible to send faxes comfortably from your
workstation PC, without having connected a fax device. To do so, you need to
install several components:
the LANCAPI client. It provides the connection between your worksta-
tion PC and the LANCAPI server.
the CAPI fax modem. This tool simulates a fax device on your worksta-
tion PC.
the MS Windows fax service. This is the interface between the fax appli-
cations and the virtual fax.
The installation of the LANCAPI client is described in the reference manual.
This chapter shows the installation of LANCOM CAPI fax modem and MS Win-
dows fax service.

8 Security settings
Your LANCOM VPN has numerous security functions. You find in this chapter
all information you need for an optimal protection.
8.1 The security settings wizard
Access to the configuration of a device permits not only to read out critical
information such as WEP key or Internet password. Rather, also the entire set-
tings of the security functions (e.g. firewall) can be altered then. So an unau-
thorized configuration access endangers not only a single device, but the
entire network.
Your LANCOM VPN has a password protection for the configuration access.
This protection is already activated during the basic configuration by entering
a password.
The device locks access to its configuration for a specified period of time after
a certain number of failed log-in attempts. Both the number of failed attempts
and the duration of the lock can be set as needed. By default, access is locked
for a period of five minutes after the fifth failed log-in attempt.
8.1.1 Wizard for LANconfig
Mark your LANCOM VPN in the selection window. Select from the com-
mand bar Extras Setup Wizard.
Select in the selection menu the setup wizard Control Security Settings
and confirm your choice with Next.
Enter your password in the following windows and select the allowed pro-
tocols for the configuration access from local and remote networks. Addi-
tionally, enter the MSN for remote configuration via ISDN.
LANCOM 7011 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 8: Security settings
62
EN
In a next step parameters of the configuration lock like number of failed
log-in attempts and the duration of the lock can be adjusted.
Now activate Stateful Inspection, ping-blocking and Stealth mode in the
the firewall configuration.
The wizard will inform you when entries are complete. Complete the con-
figuration with Finish.
8.1.2 Wizard for WEBconfig
Under WEBconfig you have the possibility to run the wizard Security settings
to control and change the settings. The following values are handled:
password for the device
allowed protocols for the configuration access of local and remote net-
works
the MSN for remote configuration via ISDN
parameters of configuration lock (number of failed log-in attempts and
duration of the lock)
8.2 The firewall wizard
The LANCOM VPN incorporates an effective protection of your LAN and WLAN
when accessing the Internet by its Stateful Inspection firewall and its firewall
filters. Basic idea of the Stateful Inspection firewall is that only self-initiated
data transfer is considered allowable. All unasked accesses, which were not
initiated from the local network, are inadmissible.
The firewall wizard assists you to create new firewall rules quickly and com-
fortably.
Please find further information about the firewall of your LANCOM VPN and
about its configuration in the reference manual.
8.2.1 Wizard for LANconfig
The firewall wizard assists you to create new firewall rules quickly and com-

confirm your choice with Next.
In the following windows, select the services/protocols the rule should be
related to. Then you define the source and destination stations for this rule
and what actions will be executed when the rule will apply to a data
packet.
You finally give a name to the new rule, activate it and define, whether
further rules should be observed when the rule will apply to a data packet.
The wizard will inform you as soon as the entries are complete. Complete
the configuration with Finish.
8.2.2 Configuration under WEBconfig
Under WEBconfig it is possible to check and modify all parameters related to
the protection of the Internet access under Configuration Firewall / QoS
Rules Rule Table.
8.3 The security checklist
The following checklist provides a comprehensive overview of all security set-
tings for professionals. Most of the points on this checklist are no subject of
concern in simple configurations, since these generally adequate security set-
tings are already implemented during basic configuration and by the security
wizard.
Detailed information on the security settings listed here can be found
in the reference manual.
LANCOM 7011 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 8: Security settings

EN
Have you assigned a password for the configuration?
The simplest option for the protection of the configuration is the estab-
lishment of a password. As long as a password hasn't been set, anyone
can change the configuration of the device. The field for entering the
password is contained in LANconfig in the 'Management' configuration
area on the 'Security' tab. It is particularly required to assign a password
to the configuration if you want to allow remote configuration.
Have you permitted remote configuration?
If you do not require remote configuration, then deactivate it. If you
require remote configuration, then be sure to assign a password protec-
tion for the configuration (see previous section). The field for deactivating
the remote configuration is also contained in LANconfig in the 'Manage-
ment' configuration area on the 'Security' tab. Select here under 'Access
rights - of remote networks' for all types of configuration the option 'not
allowed'.
Have you provided the SNMP configuration with a password?
Also protect the SNMP configuration with a password. The field for pro-
tection of the SNMP configuration with a password is also contained in
LANconfig in the 'Management' configuration area on the 'Security' tab.
Have you activated IP masquerading?
IP masquerading is the hiding place for all local computers for connection
to the Internet. Only the router module of the unit and its IP address are
visible on the Internet. The IP address can be fixed or assigned dynami-
cally by the provider. The computers in the LAN then use the router as a
gateway so that they themselves cannot be detected. The router separates
Internet and Intranet, as if by a wall. The use of IP masquerading is set
individually for each route in the routing table. The routing table can be
found in the LANconfig in the 'IP router' configuration section on the
'Routing' tab.
Have you closed critical ports with filters?
The firewall filters of the LANCOM VPN devices offer filter functions for
individual computers or entire networks. Source and target filters can be
set for individual ports or for ranges of ports. In addition, individual pro-
tocols or any combinations of protocols (TCP/UDP/ICMP) can be filtered.
It is particularly easy to set up the filters with LANconfig. The 'Rules' tab
under 'Firewall/QoS' can assist you to define and change the filter rules.
LANCOM 7011 VPN – LANCOM 8011 VPN
Chapter 8: Security settings

EN
Have you excluded certain stations from access to the router?
Access to the internal functions of the devices through TCP/IP can be
restricted using a special filter list. Internal functions in this case are con-
figuration sessions via LANconfig, WEBconfig, Telnet or TFTP. This table is
empty by default and so access to the router can therefore be obtained by
TCP/IP using Telnet or TFTP from computers with any IP address. The filter
is activated when the first IP address with its associated network mask is
entered and from that point on only those IP addresses contained in this
initial entry will be permitted to use the internal functions. The circle of
authorized users can be expanded by inputting further entries. The filter
entries can describe both individual computers and whole networks. The
access list can be found in LANconfig in the 'TCP/IP' configuration section
on the 'General' tab.
Is your saved LANCOM VPN configuration stored in a safe place?
Protect the saved configurations against unauthorized access in a safe
place. A saved configuration could otherwise be loaded in another device
by an unauthorized person, enabling, for example, the use of your Inter-
net connections at your expense.

9Troubleshooting
In this chapter, you will find suggestions and assistance for a few common dif-
ficulties.
9.1 No WAN connection is established
After start-up the router automatically attempts to connect to the access pro-
vider. During this process, the Online LED will blink green. If successful, the
LED will switch over to steady green. If, however, the connection can't be
established, the Online LED will light up red. The reason for this is usually one
of the following:
Problems with the cabling?
Only the cable provided with your device should be used to connect to the
WAN. This cable must be connected to the Ethernet port of your broadband
access device. The WAN link LED must light green indicating the physical con-
nection.
Has the correct transfer protocol been selected?
The transfer protocol is set along with the basic settings. The basic setup wiz-
ard will enter the correct settings for numerous DSL providers automatically.
Only if your DSL provider is not listed, you will have to enter manually the pro-
tocol being used. In any case, the protocol that your DSL provider supplies you
with should definitely work.
You can monitor and correct the protocol settings under:
9.2 DSL data transfer is slow
The data transfer rate of an broadband (Internet) DSL connection is dependent
upon numerous factors, most of which are outside of one's own sphere of
influence. Important factors aside from the bandwidth of one's own Internet
connection are the Internet connection and current load of the desired target.

Numerous other factors involving the Internet itself can also influence the
transfer rate.
Increasing the TCP/IP window size under Windows
If the actual transfer rate of a DSL connection is significantly below the fastest
rate listed by the provider, there are only a few possible causes (apart from the
above-mentioned external factors) which may involve one's own equipment.
One common problem occurs when large amounts of data are sent and
received simultaneously with a Windows PC using an asynchronous connec-
tion. This can cause a severe decrease in download speed. The cause of this
problem is what is known as the TCP/IP receive window size of the Windows
operating system that is set to a value too small for asynchronous connec-
tions.
Instructions on how to increase the Windows size can be found in the Knowl-
edge Base of the support section of the LANCOM web site (www.lancom.de
).
9.3 Unwanted connections under Windows XP
Windows XP computers attempt to compare their clocks with a timeserver on
the Internet at start-up. This is why when a Windows XP in the WLAN is
started, a connection to the Internet is established by the LANCOM.
To resolve this issue, you can turn off the automatic time synchronization on
the Windows XP computers under Right mouse click on the time of day
Properties Internet time.
9.4 Cable testing
LANCOM 8011 VPN
only
A cabling defect might have occurred, if no data is transmitted over LAN or
WAN connection, although the configuration of the devices does not show
any discernible errors.
You can test the cabling with the built-in cable tester of your LANCOM.
Change under WEBconfig to menu item Expert configuration Status
LAN statistics Cable test. Enter here the name of the interface to be

tested (e.g. “DSL1” or “LAN-1”). Pay attention to the correct spelling of the
interfaces. Start the test for the specified interface by clicking on Execute.
Change then to menu item Expert configuration Status LAN statis-
tics Cable test results. The results of the cable test for the individual
interfaces are show up in a list.
The following results can occur:
OK: Cable plugged in correctly, line ok.
open with distance “0m”: No cable plugged in or interruption within less
than 10 meters distance.
open with indication of distance: Cable is plugged in, but defect (short-
circuited) at the indicated distance.
Impedance error: The pair of cables is not terminated with the correct
impedance at the other end.
