Most users will be able to configure the wireless connection and get it working properly using the setting on this screen. Field Description Disable Wireless LAN Interface Check it to disable the wireless function for FREEWAY DSL. Band Select the appropriate band from the list provided to correspond with your network setting. Mode Select the mode to be AP or AP+WDS. Used to specify the wireless mode to be:  AP: Configure the FREEWAY DSL as a standard wireless AP (access point).  AP+WDS: This mode allows you to connect the FREEWAY DSL with up to four WDS-capable wireless routers to expand the network. SSID The Service Set Identifier (SSID) or network name. It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters, which may be any keyboard character. The mobile wireless stations shall select the same SSID to be able to communicate with the FREEWAY DSL (AP). Channel Number Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your network settings.

Associated Clients Click this button to show the clients currently associated with the FREEWAY DSL. 16
FREEWAY DSL User’s Manual 4.3.3 Wireless Advanced Settings This page contains the wireless advanced settings. It is recommended that you remain this page as its default settings unless you have sufficient wireless knowledge. Field Description Authentication Type Used to specify the wireless authentication type which can be:  Open System: Enables your client adapter, regardless of its WEP settings, to attempt to authenticate and communicate with an access point. Open Authentication is the default setting.  Shared Key: Enables your client adapter to communicate only with access points that have the same WEP key. This option is available only if Use Static WEP Keys is selected.  Auto: This allows either Open System or Shared Key authentication to be used. Fragment Threshold Defines the largest RF packet that the client adapter sends without splitting the packet into two or more smaller fragments. If a single fragment experiences interference during transmission, only that fragment must be resent. Fragmentation generally reduces throughput because the packet overhead for each fragment consumes a higher portion of the RF bandwidth. 17
FREEWAY DSL User’s Manual RTS Threshold Specifies the data packet size beyond which the low-level RF protocol invokes RTS/CTS flow control. A small value causes RTS packets to be sent more often, which consumes more of the available bandwidth and reduces the throughput of other network packets. However, small values help the system recover from interference or collisions, which can occur in environments with obstructions or metallic surfaces that create complex multipath signals. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of the default value, 2347, is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The RTS Threshold value should remain at its default value of 2347. Beacon Interval Specifies the interval between beacon packets, which IEEE 802.11 systems use to synchronize clients. Beacon packets contain timing and other information that is broadcast over the airwaves. Any station that receives the beacon packet can then synchronize with the system broadcasting beacons. The default value of the beacon period is 100 milliseconds. Data Rate The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the Router automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the Router and a wireless client. The default value is Auto. Preamble Type Preamble is part of the wireless signal that synchronizes network traffic. Select the appropriate preamble type, Long Preamble (default) or Short Preamble. High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type. Broadcast SSID When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the Router's SSID, keep the default setting, Enable. If you do not want to broadcast the Router's SSID, then select Disable. Relay Blocking When Relay Blocking is enabled, wireless clients will not be able to directly access other wireless clients. Ethernet to Wireless Blocking When enabled, traffic between Ethernet and wireless interfaces are not allowed. 18
FREEWAY DSL User’s Manual 4.3.4 Security This page allows advanced users who have sufficient knowledge of wireless LAN to configure advanced settings for the wireless connection. The default settings shall not be changed unless you know exactly what will happen for the changes you made to your FREEWAY DSL. This screen allows you to setup the wireless security. Enable WEP or WPA by configuring encryption keys can prevent unauthorized access to your WLAN. Field Description SSID Type A VAP (Virtual Access Point) is a logical entity which exits within a physical Access Point (AP). A physical AP can support several VAPs. Each VAP might advertise either different SSID and capability set or same SSID with different capability set. In general terms, VAPs can be seen as totally independent APs. That is, with different capabilities, SSID, MAC addresses, IP addresses, client configurations and connected to different VLANs. Encryption There are 4 types of security to be selected. To secure your wireless network, it’s strongly recommended to enable this feature.  WEP: Make sure that all wireless devices on your network are using the same encryption level and key. Click Set WEP Key button to set the encryption key.  WPA (TKIP): WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data encryption. TKIP utilized a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers.  WPA2 (AES): WPA2 uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption. AES utilized a symmetric 128bit block data encryption.  WAP2 Mixed: The AP supports WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES) for data encryption. 19
FREEWAY DSL User’s Manual Use 802.1x Authentication Check it to enable 802.1x authentication. This option is selectable only when the Encryption is choose to either None or WEP. If the Encryption is WEP, you need to further select the WEP key length to be either WEP 64bits or WEP 128bits. WPA Authentication Mode There are 2 types of authentication mode for WPA.  Enterprise (WPA-RADIUS): WPA RADIUS uses an external RADIUS server to perform user authentication. To use WPA RADIUS, enter the IP address of the RADIUS server, the RADIUS port (default is 1812) and the shared secret from the RADIUS server. Please refer to “Authentication RADIUS Server” setting below for RADIUS setting.  Personal (Pre-Shared Key): Pre-Shared Key authentication is based on a shared secret that is known only by the parties involved. To use WPA Pre-Shared Key, select key format and enter a password in the Pre-Shared Key Format and Pre-Shared Key setting respectively. Pre-Shared Key Format  PassPhrase: Select this to enter the Pre-Shared Key secret as user-friendly textual secret.  Hex (64 characters): Select this to enter the Pre-Shared Key secret as hexadecimal secret. Pre-Shared Key Specify the shared secret used by this Pre-Shared Key. If the Pre-Shared Key Format is specified as PassPhrase, it indicates a passphrase of 8 to 63 alphanumerical characters.

You should set the DHCP mode after you configure the DHCP relay. Field Description DHCP Server Address Specify the IP address of your ISP’s DHCP server. Requests for IP information from your LAN will be passed to the default gateway, which should route the request appropriately. 31

FREEWAY DSL User’s Manual 4.7 Network Settings 4.7.1 Static Routing The Routing page enables you to define specific route for your Internet and network data. Most users do not need to define routes. On a typical small home or office LAN, the existing routes that set up the default gateways for your LAN hosts and for the FREEWAY DSL provide the most appropriate path for all your Internet traffic. On your LAN hosts, a default gateway directs all Internet traffic to the LAN port(s) on the FREEWAY DSL. Your LAN hosts know their default gateway either because you assigned it to them when you modified your TCP/IP properties, or because you configured them to receive the information dynamically from a server whenever they access the Internet. On the FREEWAY DSL itself, a default gateway is defined to direct all outbound Internet traffic to a route at your ISP. The default gateway is assigned either automatically by your ISP whenever the device negotiates an Internet access, or manually by user to setup through the configuration. You may need to define routes if your home setup includes two or more networks or subnets, if you connect to two or more ISP services, or if you connect to a remote corporate LAN. Field Description Enable Check to enable the selected route or route to be added. Destination The network IP address of the subnet. The destination can be specified as the IP address of a subnet or a specific host in the subnet. It can also be specified as all zeros to indicate that this route should be used for all destinations for which no other route is defined (this is the route that creates the default gateway). Subnet Mask The network mask of the destination subnet. The default gateway uses a mask of 0.0.0.0. Next Hop The IP address of the next hop through which traffic will flow towards the destination subnet. 35
FREEWAY DSL User’s Manual Metric Defines the number of hops between network nodes that data packets travel. The default value is 0, which means that the subnet is directly one hop away on the local LAN network. Interface The WAN interface to which a static routing subnet is to be applied. Show Routes Click this button to view the FREEWAY DSL’s routing table. 4.7.2 Port Mapping The FREEWAY DSL provides multiple interface groups. Up to five interface groups are supported including one default group. The LAN and WAN interfaces could be included. Traffic coming from one interface of a group can only be flowed to the interfaces in the same interface group. Thus, the FREEWAY DSL can isolate traffic from group to group for some application. By default, all the interfaces (LAN and WAN) belong to the default group, and the other four groups are all empty. It is possible to assign any interface to any group but only one group. Field Description Enabled/Disabled Radio buttons to enable/disable the interface group feature. If disabled, all interfaces belong to the default group. Grouped Interfaces To manipulate a mapping group: 1. Select a group from the table. 2. Select interfaces from the available/grouped interface list and add it to the grouped/available interface list using the arrow buttons to manipulate the required mapping of the ports. 3. Click Apply Changes to save the changes. 36
FREEWAY DSL User’s Manual 4.8 DNS There are two submenus for the DNS Configuration: DNS Server and Dynamic DNS. 4.8.1 DNS Server This page is used to select the way to obtain the IP addresses of the DNS servers. Field Description Attain DNS Automatically Select this item if you want to use the DNS servers obtained by the WAN interface via the auto-configuration mechanism. Set DNS Manually Select this radio button to configure up to three DNS IP addresses manually. 37
FREEWAY DSL User’s Manual 4.8.2 DDNS (Dynamic DNS) Each time your device connects to the Internet, your ISP assigns a different IP address to your device. In order for you or other users to access your device from the WAN-side, you need to manually track the IP that is currently used. This page allows you to register your device with a DNS server and access your device each time using the same host name. Field Description Enable Check this item to enable this registration account for the DNS server. DDNS Provider There are two DDNS providers to be selected in order to register your device with: DynDNS and TZO. A charge may occur depends on the service you select. Hostname Enter the domain name to be registered with the DDNS server. Interface This field defaults to your device’s WAN interface over which your device will be accessed. DynDNS Username / Password Enter the user name and password of your registered account in DDNS service provider DynDNS. TZO Email / Key Enter the e-mail address and key (password) of your registered account in DDNS service provider TZO. 38
FREEWAY DSL User’s Manual 4.9 Device Management 4.9.1 UPnP The FREEWAY DSL supports a control point for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) version 1.0, and supports two key features: NAT Traversal and Device Identification. This feature requires one active WAN interface. In addition, the host should support this feature. In the presence of multiple WAN interfaces, select an interface on which the incoming traffic is present. With NAT Traversal, when an UPnP command is received to open ports in NAT, the application translates the request into system commands to open the ports in NAT and the firewall. The interface to open the ports on is given to UPnP when it starts up and is part of the configuration of the application. For Device Identification, the application will send a description of the FREEWAY DSL as a control point back to the host making the request. Field Description UPnP Daemon Enable/disable UPnP feature. WAN Interface Select WAN interface that will use UPnP from the drop-down lists. 39
FREEWAY DSL User’s Manual 4.9.2 TR-069 The TR-069 (CPE WAN Management Protocol) function can secure remote host access to your FREEWAY DSL from LAN and WLAN interfaces for some services provided by it. Field Description ACS URL URL of the Auto Configuration Sserver (ACS) provided by the ISP.User Name Enter the user name for the ACS to authenticate. Password Enter the password for the ACS to authenticate. Periodic Inform Enable Enable/disables the FREEWAY DSL to connect to the ACS periodically. Periodic Inform Interval This field is enabled only when the Periodic Inform Enabled field is checked. It defines the amount of time (in seconds) between a successful connection with an ACS server and a new attempt to connect to an ACS server. Connection Request Username Enter the user name if the connection required authentication process. Connection Request Password Enter the password if the connection required authentication process. Debug Software debugging message. Specify/change the contents only when you are directed by a technical support representative. 40
FREEWAY DSL User’s Manual Appendix A. Troubleshooting Below is a list of commonly asked questions. Before calling technical support, please look through these issues to see if they help solve your problem. The FREEWAY DSL is not functional. 1. Check to see that the POWER LED is lit and than the network cables are installed correctly. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for more details. 2. Check to see that the LAN, DSL and Internet LEDs are lit. 3. Check the settings on your PC and FREEWAY DSL. Again, refer to the Quick Start Guide for more details. 4. From your PC, can you PING the FREEWAY DSL? Assuming that the FREEWAY DSL has DHCP enabled and your PC is on the same subnet as the FREEWAY DSL, you should be able to PING the FREEWAY DSL. Can you PING the Internet? Your ISP should have provided the IP address of their server. If you can ping the FREEWAY DSL and your protocols are configured correctly, you should be able to ping the ISPs network.

Also, your PC’s Subnet Mask should match the FREEWAY DS3. L’s subnet mask. The FREEWAY DSL has a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If this still does not work, press the Reset button. This will place th4its factory default state. Go through the above procedures again. The DSL LED continues to blink but does not go solid. Make sure you have DSL service. You should get some kind of information from your ISP which states that DSL service is installed. You can usually tell if the service is installed by listening to the ADSL phone line; you will hear some high-pitched noise. If you do not hear high-pitched noise, contact your ISP. This means that the DSL line is trying to train but for some reason it cannot establish a valid connection. The main cause of this is that you are too far away from the centraoffice.

FREEWAY DSL User’s Manual I cannot ping the FREEWAY DSL from the attached LAN. 1. Verify that the IP addresses are properly configured. In most cases, you enable the FREEWAY DSL’s DHCP function to dynamically assign IP addresses to hosts on the attached LAN. However, if you manually configure IP addresses on the LAN, verify that the same network address (network component of the IP address) and subnet mask are used for both the FREEWAY DSL and any attached LAN devices. 2. Make sure the device you want to ping (or from which you are pinging) has been configured for TCP/IP correctly. I cannot connect using the web browser. 1. Be sure to have configured the FREEWAY DSL with a valid IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. 2.
