Page 8: Introduction To Globesurfer® Iii
1. Introduction to GlobeSurfer® III Within minutes, you can connect to your mobile network and use a wireless connection to the Internet through the mobile network. GlobeSurfer® III is compatible with GSM and 3G mobile networks and supports GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and HSDPA technologies.
Page 9: Setup
2. Setup Connecting your computer or home network to the gateway is a simple procedure, varying slightly depending on your operating system. This chapter will help you to seamlessly integrate GlobeSurfer® III with your computer or home network. The Windows default network settings dictate that in most cases the setup procedure described below will be unnecessary.
Page 10 Windows XP • Access Network Connections from the Control Panel. • Right-click the Ethernet connection icon, and select Properties. • Under the General tab, select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) component, and press the Properties button. • The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties window will be displayed. •...

Page 12: Globesurfer® Iii Management Console
3. GlobeSurfer® III Management Console The GlobeSurfer® III management console described here allows you to control various GlobeSurfer® III system parameters, using a user-friendly graphical interface. The management console includes a connection status screen, a quick setup screen, network configuration, security configuration, authentication with multiple-user support, connection monitoring and more.
Page 13: Managing Tables
3.3. Managing Tables Tables are used throughout the GlobeSurfer® III management console. They handle user-defined entries relating to elements such as network connections, local servers, restrictions and configurable parameters. The principles outlined in this section apply to all tables in the management console. In a typical table each row defines an entry in the table.

Note: Setting the SSID to something unique will make it much easier to identify your own wireless network, especially if there are other wireless networks available in the nearby area. SSID broadcast: if you set the Enabled checkbox to broadcast, then other devices can detect and connect to your WLAN.
Page 19: Installation Wizard: Wireless Encryption
4.3.5. Installation Wizard: Wireless Encryption In order to prohibit unauthorized access to your GlobeSurfer® III, make sure to apply sufficient security and encryption on your wireless network. If WPA2 is supported by your wireless clients it is recommended to apply WPA2 encryption to your wireless network as it offers the highest level of security.
Page 20: Installation Wizard: Firewall Policy
Note: WPA/WPA2 is recommended as it provides the higher level of security due to the longer key that changes automatically. You must configure your wireless PC clients to use the same encryption type and keys. Otherwise the devices will not understand each other. Enabling wireless encryption has no security effect on wired (Ethernet) connections.

Page 57 • You are not concerned with security and wish to expose one computer to all services without restriction. Warning: A DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and may be vulnerable to attack. Designating a DMZ host may also put other computers in the home network at risk. When designating a DMZ host, you must consider the security implications and protect it if necessary.
Page 58: Port Triggering
8.2.5. Port Triggering Port triggering can be used for dynamic port forwarding configuration. By setting port triggering rules, you can allow inbound traffic to arrive at a specific LAN host, using ports different than those used for the outbound traffic. This is called port triggering since the outbound traffic triggers to which ports inbound traffic is directed.
