25 Basic Configuration WAN Setting This page allows you to specify how the WAN port of the router connects to your ISP’s server. There are four types of connection ways for you to select from. Please choose your connection mode from the drop-down list as required by your ISP. The default setting is PPPoE. PPPoE PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection. With PPPoE the client does not set a static IP address, instead an IP address is assigned dynamically whenever the client access to the Internet. If PPPoE connection type is selected, please configure these parameters: User ID/Password: Enter the User ID and Password provide by your ISP to access the remote host. Connection Type: Dial On Demand: If checked, under disconnected status, if any client PC sends out request for connection, the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) will dial the ISP automatically. In this case, if the system administrator wants to disconnect the PPP session, just click the Disconnect button. Keep Alive: When enabled, a PPP session will always keep on line. Manual: This button allows you to manually launch or terminate the PPP session. For instant connection, just click the Connect button. The connection will be established instantly without having to restart the device or click the Apply button. To disconnect the PPPoE session, just click the Disconnect button. Max Idle Time: This value specifies the idle minutes that elapse before the device automatically disconnects the PPP session. If no traffic is passing through during the span of time your specified, the PPP session is terminated. IP Address/Subnet Mask: Displays the IP address and the subnet mask the device gets after the connection is established. Clicking Refresh will refresh the information.
Basic Configuration 26 Obtain an IP address automatically The WAN IP address and the default gateway IP address is assigned by the ISP or DHCP server of another subnet or xDSL/ATU-R. ( If the modem system has DHCP server capability, the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) can act as a DHCP client and receive its WAN IP address and subnet mask from the modem.) Specify an IP Address If your ISP has assigned a fixed permanent IP address for you, choose this connection mode and configure these parameters: IP Address/Subnet Mask: Enter the fixed IP address and its associated subnet mask provided by your ISP. Default Gateway: This function allows you to set up the default gateway on the WAN interface of your router. Please enter the gateway IP address provided by your ISP. DNS Relay: Set up the IP address of the DNS (Domain Name System) server. The DNS server address will be passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address. The DHCP clients use the DNS to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa.
Basic Configuration 27 Bridge By selecting “Bridge” mode you enable bridging over the WAN port. The router can bridge the packets from your local network to the remote LAN over the WAN port. Note The Bridge mode is commonly used on the LAN to LAN architecture.
Basic Configuration 28 Wireless Setting The Broadband Wireless Router (AP) provides wireless connectivity within a range of several hundreds feet and acts as a bridge between your wired LAN and wireless PCs. This section shows you how to configure the wireless LAN setting. Wireless SSID (Service Set Identity): A name that uniquely identifies a wireless network. All clients that want to communicate with the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) must have the same SSID as it. Desired Channel: The frequency in which the radio links are about to be established. Usually the clients will scan the whole operable channels and then select the desired communications channel automatically.
29 Advanced Configuration LAN Setting This page allows you to define the IP address over the LAN interface. IP Address & Subnet Mask: Allows you to specify the private IP address on the device’s LAN interface. By default, the IP address and subnet mask is 192.168.0.1 and 255.255.255.0. It is recommended NOT to change the default settings. Note If you have changed the LAN IP address, you will need to correspondingly change the IP address of the DHCP server as well as its pool address range. If you didn’t do that, the DHCP client will not be able to access the router. Enable NAT Function: Enabling NAT function allows multiple LAN machines to access the Internet for the cost of only one IP address. If you are going to enable this feature, check the box and click Apply. DHCP Server: Allows you to enable or disable the DHCP function. DHCP server is enabled by default. When you instruct the router to act as a DHCP server, it assigns dynamic IP addresses to your PCs (DHCP clients) whenever they request for IP information. The DHCP server “leases” the IP addresses from a defined pool for a specified amount of time to the PCs. DHCP helps system administrators to centrally manage the assignment and distribution of IP information to PCs on the LAN.
Advanced Configuration 30 DHCP Lease time: Specify the time that a network device can lease a private IP address before the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) reassigning the IP address. Address Pool (from…to…): When you check the box to enable DHCP server function, you should give an available range of IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254) that can be assigned to PCs on the LAN. PCs on the LAN will use the assigned IP addresses to access the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) through Ethernet. Default Gateway: Use the LAN port IP address of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) as the default gateway for PCs on the LAN. DNS Server Notification: Let the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) relay DNS automatically.
Advanced Configuration 31 WEP Setting Privacy Security The privacy security function can enhance media security by encryption technology. All clients must set the same encryption key to maintain the tightened communication with the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) properly. To turn on the privacy function: Authentication Algorithm: Select Open Key or Shared Key as the authentication type. Open Key If Open Key is selected as the authentication type, a wireless station can associate to any wireless network available in the air and receive any messages that are not encrypted. Note: Open Key is also referred as Open System in some models. Shared Key With shared key authentication, only those wireless stations that possess the correct WEP keys can join the wireless network. WEP Encryption If you are not going to use WEP encryption, select the Disable option. To enable WEP encryption function, select your encryption length as 64-Bit or 128-Bit. When entering your WEP keys, notice that your WEP keys must be comprised of hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F, and a-f) and must contain 10 characters for 64-bit WEP Keys or 26 characters for 128-bit WEP keys. All the four keys (Key 1-4) must be entered. Default Tx Key: Select one WEP key from the four keys to encrypt the data you transmit.
Advanced Configuration 32 Routing IP Dynamic Routing Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is utilized as a means of exchanging routing information between routers. It helps the routers to determine optimal routes. This page allows you to enable/disable this function. By default, RIP is disabled with Disable selected. You are allowed to enable RIP over the LAN/WAN interface. Upon each interface, you can customize the RIP on Receive Mode and Transmit Mode respectively. Receive Mode: It incorporates the RIP information when receiving the RIP packets. Transmit Mode: It broadcasts the routing table. RIP Version: When enabling RIP, you can select the RIP version from RIPv1, RIPv2 or both (RIPv1 and RIPv2). Disable RIP: To disable RIP, just select Disable from the drop-down list.
Advanced Configuration 33 IP Static Routing This page shows all the routing rules of data packets going through your Broadband Wireless Router (AP) if it runs in routing mode. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and your don’t need to configure additional static routes. Unless your network is unusual case such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets and you must configure static routes. For example, if the circumstances below apply to your network: 1. You have another subnet network in your network. 2. Your another network is 10.3.1.0. 3. The IP of the two interfaces of your device are 10.3.1.1and 192.168.0.3 respectively. Then you need to create a static route. You should enter the destination IP address 10.3.1.0 and gateway IP address 192.168.0.3 to commit the setting. When you first configure your router, you will find a default route created with your ISP as the gateway, and the second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. Select a Static Route: Firstly, select an existing static route or New Entry to edit its parameters. Click Delete if you want to delete it. Network IP Address: The destination IP address of the network where data packets are to be sent. Netmask: The subnet mask of the destination IP address. Gateway IP address: The next IP address where data packets are to be sent for the destination you specify in previous fields. This is to be configured only when the LAN interface is configured as route; otherwise leave it as 0.0.0.0. Delete: Allows you to select a required entry and delete it from the static route table.
Advanced Configuration 34 Forwarding The Broadband Wireless Router (AP) implements NAT to let your entire local network appear as a single machine to the Internet. The typical situation is that you have local servers for different services and you want to make them publicly accessible. With NAT applied, it will translate the internal IP addresses of these servers to a single IP address that is unique on the Internet. NAT function not only eliminates the need for multiple public IP addresses but also provides a measure of security for your LAN. When the router receives an incoming IP packet requesting for access to your local server, the router will recognize the service type according to the port number in this packet (e.g., port 80 indicates HTTP service and port 21 indicates FTP service). By specifying the port number, you tell the router which service should be forwarded to the local IP address you specify. Protocol: Select a protocol type used by the service that will be forwarded. TCP/IP Port: The Broadband Wireless Router (AP) supports port mapping function which translates a standard port number to a non-standard number. Incoming data packets sent to a specific IP port can be mapped to the port you specify. The most often used port numbers include: 21 (FTP ), 80 (HTTP), 23 (Telnet) and 25(SMTP) IP Address: Specify the internal IP address to which the packets are forwarded to. How to configure port forwarding: 1. Select the protocol type from the drop-down list. 2. Select a service in TCP /IP Port field and enter the port number. 3. Enter the IP address of the local server in the IP Address filed. 4. Click Apply button to commit the setting. If you are going to delete a forward entry, select it from the status filed to delete it.
Advanced Configuration 35 DMZ NAT separates an external network from directly referencing an internal network. With DMZ configuration, a DMZ host acts as a neutral zone between the private network and the outside network. For example, if you have a host providing online games or videoconferencing applications which are incompatible through NAT, you can specify its IP address here and then click the Apply button. UPnP Universal plug and play (UPnP) is an architecture for pervasive peer to peer network connectivity of intelligent appliances, wireless devices and PCs of all form factors. It is designed to bring easy-to-use, flexible, standards-based connectivity to ad-hoc or unmanaged networks whether in the home, in a small business, public spaces, or attached to the Internet. To enable UPnP function, just check the Enable UPnP Function box and then click Apply button to activate the function.
Advanced Configuration 36 QOS The Broadband Wireless Router (AP) comes with 4 10/100 Base-TX ports. It is capable of auto-sensing the Ethernet switching hub if a non-crossover cable is attached. In this page, you can select whether to enable or disable QOS management function. You also can set the priority for each switch port and select whether to enable or disable the 802.1p.
37 System Management Security For administration security, specify required User Name and Password. It limits this web-based manager access to users with the correct password. By default, the user name and password are admin (small letters). After clicking Apply to change the and password, the new setting takes effect currently. When you continue to access other pages, you will be prompted to re-login with new and password immediately. To save the new settings to flash memory and take effect next time your reboot the Broadband Wireless Router (AP), after clicking Apply you should perform the task of Save & Reset. Save Whenever you specify or modify a parameter, your customizations will be currently effective after clicking Apply. However, you should perform the Save & Reset task to have current settings take effect. By clicking Save, new settings are saved to the flash memory of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP). Do not turn off the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) during saving configuration.

Log Information Log displays a running record of your router, including information, warning and error log. The information provided are useful in working with your ISP or system administrators when troubleshooting.
41 Glossary This chapter presents a more detailed description of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP)’s configuration parameters. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) When operates as a DHCP server, the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) assign IP addresses to the client PCs on the LAN. The client PCs “leases” these Private IP addresses for a user-defined amount of time. After the lease time expires, the private IP address is made available for assigning to other network devices. The DHCP IP address can be a single, fixed public IP address, an ISP assigned public IP address, or a private IP address. If you enable DHCP server on a private IP address, a public IP address will have to be assigned to the NAT IP address, and NAT has to be enabled so that the DHCP IP address can be translated into a public IP address. By this, the client PCs are able to access the Internet. LAN (Local Area Network) & WAN (Wide Area Network) A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building. A WAN, on the other hand, is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. The Ethernet side of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) is called the LAN port. It is a twiced-pair Ethernet 10Base-T interface. A hub can be connected to the LAN port. More than one computers, such as server or printer, can be connected through this hub to the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) and composes a LAN. The WAN port of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) composes the WAN interface, which supports PPP or RFC 1483 connecting to another remote DSL device of ATU-R. Authentication and WEP Encryption The absence of a physical connection between nodes makes the wireless links vulnerable to eavesdropping and information theft. To provide a certain level of security , the IEEE 8002.11 standard has defined two types of authentication methods, open key and shared key. With open key authentication a wireless PC can join any network and receive any messages that are not encrypted. With shared key authentication, only those PCs that possess the correct authentication key can join the network. By default IEEE 802.11 wireless devices operate in an Open Key network. Private IP Address Private IP addresses are also LAN IP addresses, but are considered “illegal” IP addresses to the Internet. They are private to an enterprise while still permitting full network layer connectivity between all hosts inside an enterprise as well as all public hosts of different enterprises. The Broadband Wireless Router (AP) uses private IP addresses by assigning them to the LAN that cannot be directly accessed by the Internet or remote server. To access the Internet, private network should have an agent to translate the private IP address to public IP address.
Glossary 42 RIP (Routing Information Protocol) RIP is a routing protocol that uses the distance-vector routing algorithms to calculate least-hops routes to a destination. It is used on the Internet and is common in the NetWare environment. It exchanges routing information with other routers. It includes V1, V2 and V1&V2, which controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets over Ethernet. UDP (User Data gram Protocol) UDP is a connectionless transport service that dispenses with the reliability services provided by TCP. UDP gives applications a direct interface with IP and the ability to address a particular application process running on a host via a port number without setting up a connection session. Virtual Server You can designate virtual servers, e.g., a FTP, web, telnet or mail server, on your local network and make them accessible to the outside world. A virtual server means that it is not a dedicated server -- that is, the entire computer is not dedicated to running on the public network but in the private network. Infrastructure mode A backbone to extend the service provided by network. This mode provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices within a fixed range or area of coverage, interacting with wireless nodes via an antenna. SSID SSID is a thirty-two character(maximum) alphanumeric key identifying the wireless local area network. Service Set Identity. A group name shared by all members of an IEEE 802.11b network. Only devices with the same SSID are allowed to establish connections. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate with each other, all device must be configured with the same SSID. MAC Address Media Access Code Address. A unique, 48-bit number assigned to every network interface card by the manufacturer.
Glossary 43 NAT (Network Address Translation) IP Address NAT is an Internet standard that translates a private IP within one network to a public IP address, either a static or dynamic one. NAT provides a type of firewall by hiding internal IP addresses. It also enables a company to use more internal IP addresses. If the IP addresses given by your ISP are not enough for each PC on the LAN and the Broadband Wireless Router (AP), you need to use NAT. With NAT, you make up a private IP network for the LAN and assign an IP address from that network to each PC. One of some public addresses is configured and mapped to a private workstation address when accesses are made through the gateway to a public network. For example, the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) is assigned with the public IP address of 168.111.2.1. With NAT enabled, it creates a Virtual LAN. Each PC on the Virtual LAN is assigned with a private IP address with default value of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.2.254. These PCs are not accessible by the outside word but they can communicate with the outside world through the public IP 168.111.2.1.
Glossary 44
45 Troubleshooting Problems with LAN On Ethernet client 1. PCs on the LAN can not get IP addresses from the Broadband Wireless Router (AP). The chances are that the interface used as DHCP server is modified and the client PCs do not renew IP addresses. If your DHCP server is enabled on private IP Address previously and you modify the interface to public IP Address, the client PCs should renew IP addresses. 2. The PC on the LAN cannot access to the Broadband Wireless Router (AP). Check that your PC is on the same subnet with the Broadband Wireless Router (AP). On Wireless client • Check your wireless LAN card driver is properly installed. • Check the wireless configuration of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) . 3. Can’t access the Router’s Web Configuration interface from a PC on your local network. • Make sure you are using the correct login information, the default login name and password are admin (small letters). • Make sure your PC’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your PC’s address should be in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. Note 1. If you use DHCP server and your PC’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x: please renew the IP address and check the connection from the PC to the router. 2. If you are using a wireless LAN card equipped PC, check that the SSID and WEP settings are the same for the router and PC. 3. If your router’s IP address has been changed and you don’t know the current IP address, clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s IP address to 192.168.0.0 Problems with WAN 1. If you router can’t access the Internet, you should first determine whether the router is able to obtain a WAN IP address from the ISP. Or you have been assigned a static IP address. • Check the IP address for the WAN port. • If your ISP requires a login program as PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), ensure the user name and password you enter are correctable.
Troubleshooting 46 • If your Broadband Wireless Router (AP) is set to routing mode and you use private IP addresses on the LAN, make sure Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled. • Your PC may not recognize any DNS server address. Check your DNS setting on the Broadband Wireless Router (AP). 2. Check the physical connection between the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) and the xDSL/ATU-R. At the DOS prompt, ping the IP address of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP). That is, ping the WAN IP address that you set or provided by your ISP. If the following response occurs: Reply from WAN IP address(xxx..xxx.xxx.xxx) bytes=32 time=100ms TTL=253 Then the connection between the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) and the network is OK. If you get a failed ping with the response of: Request time out Then the connection is fail. Check the cable between the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) and the network. 3. Check the DNS setting of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP). At the DOS prompt, ping the IP address of the DNS provided by your ISP. For example, if your DNS IP is 168.95.1.1, then ping 168.95.1.1. If the following response occurs: Reply from 168.65.1.1 bytes=32 time=100ms TTL=253 Then the connection to the DNS is OK. If you get a failed ping with the response of: Request time out Then the DNS is not reachable. Check your DNS setting on the Broadband Wireless Router (AP). Problems with Upgrading The following lists the error messages that you may see during upgrading and the action to take. 1. Error Message: invalid file format Possible cause: The firmware file format is invalid. Action: Check the file format is correct, otherwise download a firmware file with correct format. 2.
