1 Before You Begin

Before configuring the modem using the VPN Lite utility program, it is recommended that you configure your router using the Router Installation Utility found on the CD provided with your duoPlus router. While it is possible to make use of the VPN lite utility to configure a router that has not been previously set up, this is not recommended since the Installation Utility will help you to confirm that your hardware setup, ADSL enabled telephone line and internet access are correct and working. This will make fault finding much easier in the event that your VPN lite connection appears to not work.

2 VPN Lite Router Setup Utility

The VPN Lite Setup Utility was developed to aid users in setting up their router correctly for both a VPN and normal LAN connection quickly and effortlessly.. The Setup Utility will configure the following on the router: VPN Lite Connection LAN IP Addresses (DHCP Server ) Internet Connection (if necessary) NAT and Firewall settings for each connection Routing for each connection Before running the VPN Lite Setup Utility, it is recommended that you correctly configure your router using the Installation Utility on the CD provided with your duoPlus 300 WR router. The VPN Lite Setup Utility for this router can be downloaded on the VPN Lite Management website ( see the Downloads Page). It can also be downloaded from www.telkomphones.co.za and is also available on the CD provided with your router. If Downloaded, the VPN Lite Setup Utility only works on Windows 2000, XP or Vista. If you have another operating system it is recommended that you follow the steps under section 4 (Advanced Users) in this document. The downloaded version of the file is compressed as a Zip file, so once it has been downloaded you will need to uncompress it using a utility such as WinZip or Winrar. Run the DeviceUtility.exe file to set up your router. The following popup screen is shown momentarily when the program is run.

After a short while, a window will open that will allow you to configure your router to connect as a site on the VPN, and also to have an Internet Connection if it is needed for the site. If the setup utility cannot connect to the ADSL router then error shown below will be displayed. Click OK and then cancel to exit the utility. Please check the following: 1. Is the router on? 2. Is the PC plugged into the router with an Ethernet Cable?

Run the utility again once the problem is fixed. If the error message persists please phone the VPN Lite help desk. Once the Setup Utility connects to the ADSL router then you can configure your VPN connection settings. You can do this by simply adding the VPN Lite username and password that was configured on the VPN Lite administrator Website, and adding the LAN IP details. Please note that the username includes the realm name as seen in the figure below. The LAN IP Address and subnet mask must be added exactly as configured on the VPN Lite Webpage. The DHCP server on the ADSL router will use this range to dynamically push down IP addresses in this range. The IP address must be given in a classless CIDR format (IP Address / Subnet-mask) as seen on the VPN Lite Management Webpage (e.g 10.0.14.0/24). Note: The IP Address for each site must fall in a different subnet. Example: site1@evpn.lite.0001 can be 10.0.1.0/24, then the subnet for site2@evpn.lite.0002 must be a different subnet, like 10.0.2.0/24. The IP Address must correspond exactly to the one configured on the VPN Lite Management page.

If you do not have an Internet account at this site then your Internet configuration block can be left unselected. If this is the case, the Internet account will be set to login to guest@telkomadsl which will only allow access to the www.telkom.co.za website, thus allowing the use of the VPN Lite service without having to login to the Internet.

If the you would like the computers connected to this site to have access to the Internet then you must check the tickbox next to Do you have a Internet account? You will then be able to fill in your username and password into the corresponding textboxes. An ADSL Internet account is sold separately, and can be bought from any ISP.

3.1 Using the Router Webpage for Configuration

If you are using an operating system other than Windows 2000, Xp or Vista, or if you wish to manually configure the VPN Lite service on your duoPlus 300WR router, you will need to follow the instructions below.

Open your web browser and enter 10.0.0.2 ( or the routers new IP address if you have already changed this ) and press enter. Enter the applicable Username and Password ( both will be admin if you have not changed them already) Click " Advanced", move mouse over WAN and click "quickstart".

If you are have Internet access enter the ISP username and password into the applicable fields. If no ISP account is used then ignore changing the Internet access, and leave the default Telkom guest account details in these fields. If you change these details, you will need to chick the apply button to confirm the changes.

Move mouse over WAN and click on New Connection.

Enter a VPNLite into the Name field, enable sharing, select PVC 8:35, disable(de-select) NATand firewall, disable(de-select) Default gateway and enter the username and password as it was setup on the VPN Lite website. Click on Apply once everything has been entered.

Now click on Save settings to make the changes permanent.

3.2 Changing the LAN IP

Change the IP address to x.x.x.2, Netmask, start IP and End IP to the values obtained from the VPN lite website. Note that the netmask must be in the required format (for example IP = 10.x.x.x , Netmask = 255.255.255.0) and not the classless CIDR format (IP Address / Subnet-mask) as seen on the VPN Lite Management Webpage. Click on Apply when done.

Unplug the LAN cable from the PC, wait for a few seconds and plug the cable back in order to get a new IP from the router. To access the routers web interface, use the IP Address entered on the previous screen in the address field of the web browser. Now click on Save settings to store the changes on the modems webpage.
