This page provides DHCP instructions for implementing it on your network by selecting the role of DHCP protocol that this device wants to play. There are two different DHCP roles that this device can act as: DHCP Server and DHCP Relay. When acting as DHCP server, you can setup the server parameters at the DHCP Server page; while acting as DHCP Relay, you can setup the relay parameters at the DHCP Relay page.
A7200-G1 User Manual 12 5.2.2.1 DHCP Server Configuration Fields in this page: Field Description IP Pool Range Specify the lowest and highest addresses in the pool. Max Lease Time The Lease Time is the amount of time that a network user is allowed to maintain a network connection to the device using the current dynamic IP address. At the end of the Lease Time, the lease is either renewed or a new IP is issued by the DHCP server. The amount of time is in units of seconds. The default value is 86400 seconds (1 day). The value –1 stands for the infinite lease. Domain Name A user-friendly name that refers to the group of hosts (subnet) that will be assigned addresses from this pool. Subnet mask A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. Default gateway On a typical small home or office LAN, the existing routes that set up the default gateway for your LAN hosts and for the device provide the most appropriate path for all your Internet traffic DNS server It is used to select the way to obtain the IP addresses of the DNS servers. 5.2.2.2 DHCP Relay Configuration Some ISPs perform the DHCP server function for their customers’ home/small office network. In this case, you can configure this device to act as a DHCP relay agent. When a host on your network requests Internet access, the device contacts your ISP to obtain the IP configuration, and then forward that information to the host. You should set the DHCP mode to act as a DHCP relay. Fields in this page: Field Description Relay Server If you are using the other DHCP server to assign IP address to your hosts on the LAN. You can set the DHCP server ip address.
A7200-G1 User Manual 13 5.2.3 DHCP Static Configuration Static DHCP is as useful feature which makes the DHCP server on your router always assign the same IP address to a unique MAC address assigned to NIC.

A7200-G1 User Manual 14 5.3.2 Wireless Security Setup This screen allows you to setup the wireless security. Turn on WEP or WPA by using encryption keys to prevent any unauthorized access to your WLAN. Fields in this page: Field Description Encryption There are 4 types of security to be selected. To secure your WLAN, 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, also known as 802.11i, uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption. AES utilized a symmetric 128-bit block data encryption.  WAP2 Mixed: The AP supports WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES) for data encryption. The actual selection of the encryption methods will depend on the clients. Use 802.1x AuthenticationCheck 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 ModeThere are 2 types of authentication mode for WPA.  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. The WPA algorithm is selected between TKIP and AES, please refer to “WPA cipher Suite” below.  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. Please refer to “Pre-Shared Key Format” and “Pre-Shared Key” setting below.

Pre-Shared Key Specify the shared secret used by this Pre-Shared Key. If the “Pre-Shared Key Format” is specified as PassPhrase, then it indicates a passphrase of 8 to 63 bytes long; or if the “Pre-Shared Key Format” is specified as Hex(64 characters), then it indicates a 64-hexadecimal number. Authentication RADIUS Server If the WPA-RADIUS is selected at “WPA Authentication Mode”, the port (default is 1812), IP address and password of external RADIUS server are specified here. Function buttons in this page: Apply Changes Change the settings. New parameters will take effect after saving current config into flash memory and reboot the system.
A7200-G1 User Manual 15 5.3.3 Wireless Multiple BSSID Setup The SSID is a unique identifier that wireless networking devices use to establish and maintain wireless connectivity. You can configure up to 4 SSIDs on your AP router and assign different configuration settings to each SSID. All the SSIDs are active at the same time; that is, client devices can associate to the access point using any of the SSIDs. These are the settings you can assign to each SSID: Enable VAP0~4 SSID broadcast SSID Relay Blocking Authentication Type 5.3.4 Wireless Access Control This page allows administrator to have access control by entering MAC address of client stations. MAC address can be added into access control list and only those clients whose wireless MAC address are in the access control list will be either allowed or denied to connect to the wireless AP as per the Access Control policy defined. Fields in this page: Field Description Wireless Access Control Mode The Selections are:  Disable: Disable the wireless ACL feature.  Allow Listed: When this option is selected, no wireless clients except those whose MAC addresses are in the current access control list will be able to connect (to this device).  Deny Listed: When this option is selected, all wireless clients except those whose MAC addresses are in the current access control list will be able to connect (to this device). MAC Address Enter client MAC address and press “Add” button to add client MAC address into current access control list.
A7200-G1 User Manual 16 5.3.5 Wireless Advanced Settings This page allows advanced users who have sufficient knowledge of wireless LAN to configure advanced settings. These setting shall not be changed unless you know exactly what will happen from the changes you made on your device. Fields in this page: Fragment Threshold This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. It specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increases the “Fragment Threshold” value within the value range of 256 to 2346. Setting this value too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor modifications of this value are recommended. RTS Threshold This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset “RTS threshold” size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The modem (or AP) 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. Beacon Interval The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1024. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the modem (or AP) to synchronize the wireless network. The default is 100. Data Rate The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You should select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the modem (or AP) automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the AP and a wireless client. The default setting is Auto. Preamble Type The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for communication between the AP and mobile wireless stations. Make sure to select the appropriate preamble type. Note that high network traffic areas should use the short preamble type. CRC is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors. Broadcast SSID If this option is enabled, clients can see the wireless network. This feature is intended to allow clients to dynamically discover and roam between WLANs; if this option is disabled, the device will hide its SSID. When this is done, the station cannot directly discover its WLAN and MUST be configured with the SSID. Note that in a home Wi-Fi network, roaming is largely unnecessary and the SSID broadcast feature serves no useful purpose. You should disable this feature to improve the security of your WLAN. Relay Blocking When Relay Blocking is enabled, wireless clients will not associate with other wireless clients. Ethernet to Wireless Blocking When enabled, traffic between Ethernet and wireless interfaces are not allowed. DTIM Interval The DTIM Interval determines the number of AP beacons between each Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). This informs clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Clients for that AP hear beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages WIFI Multicast to Unicast For unicast transmissions, 802.11 implements layer2 acknowledgments and error checking to ensure frame delivery. Multicast traffic, on the other hand, has no link layer error or loss management in the 802.11 standard.
A7200-G1 User Manual 17 Aggregation Frame aggregation is a process of packing multiple MSDUs or MPDUs together to reduce the overheads and average them over multiple frames, thus increasing the user level data rate. Short GI Guard Intervals (GI) are used to ensure that distinct transmissions do not interfere with one another. Short GI enable = 400ns, disable = 800ns. 5.3.6 WPS ( Wi-Fi Pprotected Setup) Although home Wi-Fi networks have become more and more popular, users still have trouble with the initial set up of network. This obstacle forces users to use the open security and increases the risk of eavesdropping. Therefore, The Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is designed to ease set up of security-enabled Wi-Fi networks and subsequently network management. The largest difference between WPS-enabled devices and legacy devices is that users do not need the knowledge about SSID, channel and security settings, but they could still surf in a security-enabled Wi-Fi network. This device supports Push Button method and PIN method for WPS. The following sub-paragraphs will describe the function of each item. The webpage is shown below.
Fields in this page: Field Description Disable WPS Check to disable the Wi-Fi protected Setup. WPS Status When AP’s settings are factory default (out of box), it is set to open security and un-configured state. “WPS Status” will display it as “UnConfigured”. If it already shows “Configured”, some registrars such as Vista WCN will not configure AP. Users will need to go to the “Backup/Restore” page and click “Reset” to reload factory default settings. Self-PIN Number “Self-PIN Number” is AP’s PIN. Whenever users want to change AP’s PIN, they could click “Regenerate PIN” and then click “ Apply Changes”. Moreover, if users want to make their own PIN, they could enter four-digit PIN without checksum and then click “ Apply Changes”. However, this would not be recommended since the registrar side needs to be supported with four-digit PIN. Push Button Configuration Clicking this button will invoke the PBC method of WPS. It is only used when AP acts as a registrar. Client PIN Number It is only used when users want their station to join AP’s network. The length of PIN is limited to four or eight numeric digits. If users enter eight-digit PIN with checksum error, there will be a warning message popping up. If users insist on this PIN, AP will take it. Function buttons in this page: Regenerate PIN Click to regenerate the Self-PIN Number. Start PBC Click to start the Push Button method of WPS. Apply Changes Click to commit changes. Reset It restores the original values. Start PIN Click to start the PIN method of WPS.
A7200-G1 User Manual 19 6. Advanced Setup The end user can configure the Advance Setup Route Configuration 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 device 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 device. 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 device 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.
A7200-G1 User Manual 20 6.1 Route Setup 6.1.1 Static Route Setup 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. Fields in this page: 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. 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. Function buttons in this page: Add Route Add a user-defined destination route. Update Update the selected destination route under the Static Route Table. Delete Selected Delete a selected destination route under the Static Route Table. Show Routes Click this button to view the device’s routing table.
A7200-G1 User Manual 21 6.1.2 RIP Configuration RIP is an dynamic routing Internet protocol. Here you can set up to share routing table information with other routing devices on your LAN, at your ISP’s location, or on remote networks connected to your network via the line. Most small home or office networks do not need to use RIP; they have only one router, such as the Router, and one path to an ISP. In these cases, there is no need to share routes, because all Internet data from the network is sent to the same ISP gateway. You may want to configure RIP if any of the following circumstances apply to your network: o Your home network setup includes an additional router or RIP-enabled router (other than the Router). The Router and the router will need to communicate via RIP to share their routing tables. o Your network connects via the line to a remote network, such as a corporate network. In order for your LAN to learn the routes used within your corporate network, they should both be configured with RIP. o Your ISP requests that you run RIP for communication with devices on their network. Fields on the first setting block: Field Description RIP Enable/Disable RIP feature. 6.2 NAT Configuration In computer networking, network address translation (NAT) is the process of modifying IP address information in IP packet headers while in transit across a traffic routing device. 6.2.1 DMZ Setup A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) allows a single computer on your LAN to expose ALL of its ports to the Internet.

It allows customized NAT traversal filters to be plugged into the gateway to support address and port translation for certain application layer "control/data" protocols such as IPSec, L2TP, PPTP, FTP, SIP, RTSP etc. In order for these protocols to work through NAT or a firewall, either the application has to know about an address/port number combination that allows incoming packets, or the NAT has to monitor the control traffic and open up port mappings (firewall pinhole) dynamically as required. Legitimate application data can thus be passed through the security checks of the firewall or NAT that would have otherwise restricted the traffic for not meeting its limited filter criteria.
A7200-G1 User Manual 24 6.3 QoS 6.3.1 IP QoS The device provides a control mechanism that can provide different priority to different users or data flows. The QoS is enforced by the QoS rules in the QoS table. A QoS rule contains two configuration blocks: Traffic Classification and Action. The Traffic Classification enables you to classify packets on the basis of various fields in the packet and perhaps the physical ingress port. The Action enables you to assign the strict priority level and mark some fields in the packet that matches the Traffic Classification rule.

A7200-G1 User Manual 26 6.5 Port Mapping Setup The device 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 device 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. 6.5.1 Port Mapping Configuration Fields in this page: Field Description Enabled/Disabled Radio buttons to enable/disable the interface group feature. If disabled, all interfaces belong to the default group. “Interface groups To manipulate a mapping group:  Select a group from the table.  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.  Click “Apply Changes” button to save the changes.

Half Bridge: When the PPP Half Bridge is enabled the WAN IP address from the ISP is passed straight through the modem to the local client PC. Only one PC is able to access the Internet using half bridge mode as NAT is disabled. Half bridge mode can only be used when a single IP address has been assigned by the ISP, it is not suitable for services that provide multiple IP addresses. Half bridge mode is used when the use of NAT or NAPT is not desired and there is a single computer attached to the modem. When the half-bridged modem is used in conjunction with a router handling DHCP, only then multiple computers can connect to the Internet.
A7200-G1 User Manual 28 7. Service Setup 7.1 IGMP Configuration Multicasting is useful when the same data needs to be sent to more than one hosts. Using multicasting as opposed to sending the same data to the individual hosts uses less network bandwidth. The multicast feature also enables you to receive multicast video stream from multicast servers. IP hosts use Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) to report their multicast group memberships to neighboring routers. Similarly, multicast routers use IGMP to discover which of their hosts belong to multicast groups. This device supports IGMP proxy that handles IGMP messages. When enabled, this device acts as a proxy for a LAN host making requests to join and leave multicast groups, or a multicast router sending multicast packets to multicast group on the WAN side. When a host wishes to join a multicast group, it sends IGMP REPORT message to the device’s IGMP downstream interface. The proxy sets up a multicast route for the interface and host requesting the video content. It then forwards the Join to the upstream multicast router. The multicast IP traffic will then be forwarded to the requesting host. On a leave, the proxy removes the route and then forwards the leave to the upstream multicast router.
A7200-G1 User Manual 29 7.1.1 IGMP Proxy Configuration The IGMP Proxy page allows you to enable multicast on WAN and LAN interfaces. The LAN interface is always served as downstream IGMP proxy, and you can configure one of the available WAN interfaces as the upstream IGMP proxy. Upstream: The interfaces that IGMP requests from hosts are sent to the multicast router. Downstream: The interface data from the multicast router are sent to hosts in the multicast group database. Fields in this page: Field Description IGMP Proxy Enable/Disable IGMP proxy feature Proxy Interface The upstream WAN interface is selected here. 7.2 UPnP Setup The device 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 is given to UPnP when it starts up and is part of the configuration of the application.
A7200-G1 User Manual 30 For Device Identification, the application will send a description of the device as a control point back to the host making the request. 7.2.1 UPnP Configuration Fields in this page: Field Description UPnP Daemon Enable/Disable UPnP feature. Binded WAN Interface Select WAN interface that will use UPnP from the drop-down lists. 7.3 SNMP Setup Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a troubleshooting and management protocol that uses the UDP protocol on port 161 to communicate between clients and servers.

Destination Port Starting and ending destination port numbers.
8.3 URL Filter The URL Blocking is the web filtering solution. The firewall has the ability to block access to specific web URLs based on string matches. This can allow large numbers of URLs to be blocked by specifying only a FQDN (such as tw.yahoo.com). The URL Blocking enforces a Web usage policy to control content downloaded from, and uploaded to the Web. 8.3.1 URL Blocking Configuration Fields in this page: Field Description URL Blocking capability Check this item to enable the URL Blocking feature. Keyword The filtered keyword such as yahoo. If the URL includes this keyword, the yahoo URL’s will be blocked to access.
8.4 ACL Setup The Access Control List (ACL) is a list of permissions for a packet to be matched. The list specifies who is allowed to access this device. If ACL is enabled, all hosts cannot access this device except for the hosts with IP address in the ACL table. 8.4.1 ACL Configuration 1. LAN – You can enable LAN ACS Switch to allow/block the PC to access the Modem. 2. WAN – You can enable web(http)/telenet/ftp/tftp/snmp/ping for WAN access. 8.5 DoS Setting A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. One common method of attack involves saturating the target machine with external communications requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively unavailable. Such attacks usually lead to a server overload. In general terms, DoS attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted computer(s) to reset, or consuming its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service or obstructing the communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately. Enable DoS Prevention to detect and prevent denial of service attacks through automatic rate filtering or rules to protect legitimate users during the DoS attacks.
