Introduction:

AlphaShield Professional Edition:

According to the National Cyber Security Alliance, the safest way to protect any

computer completely is to physically disconnect it from the Internet. AlphaShield

Professional Edition allows the customer to protect a computer effectively by seamlessly

disconnecting and reconnecting it without Internet service interference. The IP Address

is protected and concealed and thus is not visible to be hacked, spied on, advertised to or

changed by malicious softwares. It is estimated that over 30% of all Internet traffic is

malicious and that the average computer is scanned 7-10 times per hour by third parties.

AlphaShield Professional Edition blocks all 65,536 ports in your computer. For Always-

On connections, blocking all ports or entry points is critical in securing a computer.

Everyone who has High-Speed Internet should have an AlphaShield Professional Edition

to protect them.

Indicators:

Inbound Data LED:

The Inbound Data LED will always remain solid green upon a good link

connection. It will flash green when a valid data packet is accepted by the AlphaShield

Professional Edition device and under normal traffic conditions.

The Inbound Data LED will flash amber or red upon receiving illegitimate packets that

are not destined to the client. These packets will not be permitted through by the

AlphaShield Professional Edition device. A high occurrence of illegitimate packets will

be displayed by flashing red.

Outbound Data LED:

The Outbound Data LED will always remain solid green upon a good

link connection. It will flash green when a valid data packet is transmitted through the

AlphaShield Professional Edition device and under normal traffic conditions.

The Outbound Data LED will flash amber or red upon receiving illegitimate packets that

are not destined to the Internet. These packets will not be permitted through by the

AlphaShield Professional Edition device. A high occurrence of illegitimate packets will

be displayed by flashing red.

Connection/Disconnection LED:

The indicator displays one of the following four different statuses:

Illuminates solid red to indicate that the connection between the PC port and the

Modem port is logically or physically disconnected. No transmission of user data

can pass between the PC and the Cable/xDSL ports. The computer is

disconnected from the Network. The computer's IP Address assignment will be

retained in Auto/Manual Mode (or will be released in Lock Mode).

Illuminates solid green to indicate that the connection between the PC port and

the Modem port is connected. Only pre-inspected valid user session data packets

are permitted to pass between the PC port and the Modem port. IP Stealth,

AlphaGAP and RPA technologies are enabled. The AlphaShield Professional

Edition’s Connect/Disconnect indicator must be green to establish a connection to

the Internet or Network.

Illuminates a flashing green to indicate that the impending logical or physical

disconnect 15-minute inactivity timer value is about to expire. This means that no

user sessions have taken place during the timer value and the current connection

is 30 seconds away from a logical or physical disconnection. Only user activity,

such as clicking onto a web link, or by pressing the Connect button (Blue/Dark) at

the top of the AlphaShield Professional Edition, will reset the inactivity timer

value and maintain the user session.

Controls:

Connect Button (Blue/Dark):

Used to re-establish a new connection after either a logical or physical

disconnection. The AlphaShield Professional Edition’s Connect button

(Blue/Dark) is functional in the Manual, Auto, Lock and Dynamic

Configuration Modes.

In Manual Mode, the Connect button (Blue/Dark) must be pressed to re-establish a

logical connection after a disconnection. In this mode, the logical disconnection is

caused either by the inactivity timer value expiring or the Disconnect button

(Grey/Light) being manually pressed by the user. The Lock Mode provides the same

functionality except with a physical disconnection.

In Auto Mode, there is no inactivity disconnect timer function. Connections do not time-

out and should be manually disconnected by pressing the Disconnect button (Grey/Light)

upon completion of the user's Internet session.

Disconnect Button (Grey/Light):

The Disconnect button (Grey/Light) will logically or physically

disconnect (depending on user mode selection) any user session

currently in progress. The Disconnect button (Grey/Light) is functional

in the Manual, Auto, Lock and Dynamic Configuration Modes.

The Disconnect button (Grey/Light) will provide a logical or physical disconnection

Immediately after being pressed. The Disconnect button (Grey/Light) can be pressed

By the user at any time to invoke a session disconnection. This can be used if the

Inbound or Outbound Data LEDs are showing excessive intrusion activity.

Note: Regardless of the mode currently in use, it is recommended that the user press the

Disconnect button (Grey/Light) when he or she has completed his or her user activity on

the Internet or Network. This will ensure the highest level of security. It will disconnect

after 15 minutes of inactivity in the Manual or Lock Modes.

Mode Selector Switch:

The slider switch provides 3 user selectable modes of functionality for

the AlphaShield Professional Edition device. Each mode will provide a

different level of computer security and user convenience.

The first slide position selects the Manual Mode with an inactivity and logical

Disconnect timer value of 15 minutes. In this mode, your computer will retain the

current IP Address assignment from the Internet Service Provider (ISP).

The second slide position selects the Auto Mode with an inactivity disconnect timer value

that is infinite. There is no disconnection. In this mode, the AlphaShield Professional

Edition will retain the current IP Address assignment from the Internet Service Provider

(ISP). This is the recommended and default setting for AlphaShield Professional Edition.

The third slide position selects the Lock Mode with an inactivity and physical disconnect

timer value of 15 minutes. In this mode, your computer may release the current IP

Address assignment from the Internet Service Provider (ISP). This is an excellent setting

for users with Static IP Address assignment

Connection Ports on AlphaShield:

PC Port:

It is used to connect the computer's high-speed connection or the

Router's WAN port.

AUX Port:

It is used to connect the VOIP and other similar devices that do not

require protection. It can also be used for testing purposes or for

bypassing AlphaShield’s security features.

Cable/DSL Port:

It is used to connect the high speed Modem or the Router's LAN port.

Trouble Shooting:

My AlphaShield Professional Edition does not power up. Why?

Ensure that you are using the provided wall mount power adapter (9 volt DC. 200 mA

center positive) shipped with the AlphaShield Professional Edition and not some other

power adapter.

Make sure that there is 110 volts AC or 220 volts AC being provided through the wall

outlet (In North America 110 VAC).

If all of the above is correct, then the provided adapter could be faulty.

The Inbound data link status LED does not come on when I connect my

AlphaShield Professional Edition to my cable or xDSL Modem. Why?

Make sure that power is being supplied to your cable or xDSL Modem and that it is

switched on. Make sure that the Network RJ-45 (Ethernet) cable is the same as that

provided by the Modem manufacturer or your ISP.

Page 10 of 19

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Make sure that the AlphaShield's Cable/xDSL port is not being connected to the

computer's Network port.

If all of the above is correct, the cable could be faulty. Replace the cable with a similar

type of RJ-45 (Ethernet) Network cable.

The Outbound data link status LED does not come on when I connect my

AlphaShield Professional Edition to my computer. Why?

Make sure that power is being provided to your computer and that the computer is

switched on.

Make sure that the Network RJ-45 (Ethernet) cable is a straight through connection

provided with the AlphaShield Professional Edition.

Make sure that your Network Interface Card within your computer is not a fixed fast

Ethernet 100Mbps card that cannot switch or auto negotiate to 10 Mbps.

Make sure that the AlphaShield's PC port is not being connected to the Cable/XDSL port

or the AUX port.

Make sure that you have the RJ-45 jack plugged into a Network Interface Card on the

computer and not to some other type of peripheral card.

If all of the above is correct, then the cable could be faulty. Replace the cable with

another straight through RJ-45 (Ethernet) Network cable.

The Connect (Center) LED is always on solid green. Why?

The Auto Mode has been selected on the rear of the unit. This solid green indication is

normal for this mode and the logical 15-minute disconnect time-out is bypassed. The

AlphaShield Professional Edition remains always connected and provides security via the

IP Stealth and RPA technologies until the Disconnect button (Grey) is manually pressed.

My AlphaShield Professional Edition does not time-out. Why?

If AlphaShield Professional Edition is in Auto Mode, then it will not disconnect.

However, if the selected mode is either Manual or Lock Mode, then the connection

session timer has not expired because there is client user activity being detected. If the

client is downloading or uploading a large file that exceeds the inactivity timer value, the

Connect (Center) LED will stay green. The AlphaShield Professional Edition will stay

connected and will not disconnect the client until the data file transfer is completed and

the timer value expires with no transmission activity. The second condition is the normal

operation of the AlphaShield Professional Edition in Manual or Lock Mode

Cannot make a connection to the Internet and the Connect (Center) LED and Data

LEDs are solid red. Why?

This is normal for the AlphaShield Professional Edition if it is in the Lock Mode. In the

Lock Mode, AlphaShield Professional Edition has physically disconnected the computer

from the Network connection and will not allow any communication to take place. This

mode should be used only if the user requires security of an extreme measure. This mode

is recommended if the user does not access the Internet for an extended period of time or

has left the computer unattended and wishes no communication to take place between the

computer and the ISP.

Page 11 of 19

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The red Connect (Center) LED comes on too often. Why?

AlphaShield Professional Edition is in Manual or Lock Mode and the user is not creating

enough user activity to reset the inactivity disconnect timer. This is normal operation in

Manual or Lock Mode if the user is not using his or her Internet connection. The

Connect (Center) LED will give a 30-second warning by flashing green prior to

disconnection. It will turn red upon a logical or physical disconnection.

Users' sessions have to be re-established after a logical or physical disconnection.

Why?

Your AlphaShield Professional Edition device contains a memory map of concurrent

valid users' sessions while you are connected to the Internet. Once a logical or physical

disconnection has taken place, either manually or automatically, the IP map table is

discarded. All users' sessions must be re-established after a logical or physical

disconnection by re-connecting and making them active again.

Only one computer will work with my AlphaShield Professional Edition device.

Why?

Your AlphaShield Professional Edition has a provision for a one to one correlation of IP

Addresses to computer connections. You must have one assigned IP Address for every

computer that is connected to the protected PC port side of the AlphaShield Professional

Edition. Your AlphaShield Professional Edition does not employ any type of Network

Address Translation (NAT). However, an AlphaShield Professional Edition can protect a

network of computers when placed in front of routers.
