If you change any settings in this screen, you must click save to save the settings. IMPORTANT: If you are connecting to the Router via a wireless network adapter, the service set ID (SSID) must be the same for both the Westell Router and your PC’s wireless network adapter. The default SSID for the Router is the serial number of the unit (located below the bar code on the bottom of the unit and also on the Westell shipping carton). Locate and run the utility software provided with your PC’s Wireless network adapter and enter the SSID value. The PC’s wireless network adapter must be configured with the SSID (in order to communicate with the Router) before you begin the Router’s account setup and configuration procedures. For privacy, you should change the Network Name (SSID) value in the Wireless Configuration screen to your desired value.
030-300432 Rev. A 79 December 2004 User Guide Wireless Configuration Wireless Operation Factory Default = Enabled. When disabled, no stations will be able to connect to the Router. Network Name (SSID) This string, (32 characters or less) is the name associated with the AP. To connect to the AP, the SSID on a Station card must match the SSID on the AP card or be set to “ANY.” Channel Factory Default = 6 The AP transmits and receives data on this channel. The number of channels to choose from is pre-programmed into the AP card. Station cards do not have to be set to the same channel as the AP; the Stations scan all channels, and look for an AP to connect to. Mode Factory Default = Mixed This setting allows station to communicate with the Router. Possible Responses: Mixed: Station using any of the 802.11b, 802.11b+, and 802.11g rates can communicate with the Router. Legacy Mixed: Same as Mixed, but also allows older 802.11b cards to communicate with the Router. 11b only: Communication with the Router is limited to 802.11b 11b+: Stations using any of the 802.11b and 802.11b+ rates can communicate with the Router 11g only: Communication with the Router is limited to 802.11g Frameburst Mode Factory Default = Disabled When selected, this enables/disables the frameburst option. If enabled, additional algorithms are used for increased throughput. Hide SSID Factory Default = Disabled. If Enabled, the Router will not broadcast the SSID. Stations must configure the SSID to match the Network Name (SSID) to connect to the Router. If you clicked save in the Wireless Configuration screen, the following pop-up will be displayed. Click OK to continue.
030-300432 Rev. A 80 December 2004 User Guide 13.4.2 Wireless Security The following screen will be displayed if you select Wireless > Security from the Configuration menu. Select the desired security option from the Wireless Security drop-down menu. IMPORTANT: Client PCs can use any Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) 802.11b/g/g+ certified card to communicate with the Router. The Wireless card and Router must use the same security code type. If you use WPA-PSK or WEP wireless security, you must configure your computer’s wireless adapter for the security code that you use. You can access the settings in the advanced properties of the wireless network adapter.
030-300432 Rev. A 81 December 2004 User Guide 13.4.2.1 Enabling WEP Security If you select WEP from the Wireless Security drop-down menu, the following screen will be displayed. After you have entered the appropriate values in the fields provided, click save to save the settings. Wireless Security Wireless Security Factory Default = Disabled. Possible Response: Disabled: If selected, wireless security will be disabled on the Router and any station can connect to the AP as long as its SSID matches the AP’s SSID. WPA-PSK: Selecting this will enable you to set up WPA-PSK security on the Router. WEP: Selecting this will enable you to set up WEP security on the Router. The AP card supports 64-bit, 128-bit, or 256-bit WEP encryption. If WEP is selected, any station can connect to the AP (as long as its SSID matches the AP SSID). If wireless security is disabled, the risk of someone nearby accessing the AP is maximized. Authentication Type Factory Default = Open System Possible Response: Open System: Open System authentication is the default selection. Shared Key: To use Shared Key authentication, WEP must be enabled, and a valid WEP key must be present. Enabling WEP does not force the use of Shared Key authentication. It is permissible to have WEP enabled and still use Open System authentication. Key Select If selected, the WEP Key is treated as a string of text characters, and the number of characters must be either 5 (for 64-bit encryption) or 13 (for 128-bit encryption) or 29 (for 256-bit encryption). If not selected, the WEP key is treated as a string of hexadecimal characters, and the number of characters must either be 10 (for 64-bit encryption), 26 (for 128-bit encryption), or 58 (for 256-bit encryption). The only allowable hexadecimal characters are 0-9 and A-F. NOTE: The WEP key must be the same value and type for both the Router and the wireless network adapter. “Pass Phrase” is not the same as “text” and should not be used.
030-300432 Rev. A 82 December 2004 User Guide 13.4.2.2 Enabling WPA-PSK Security If you select WPA-PSK from the Wireless Security drop-down menu, the following screen will be displayed. After you have entered the appropriate values in the fields provided, click save to save the settings. Wireless Security Wireless Security Factory Default = Disabled. Possible Response: Disabled: Wireless security will be disabled on the Router. WPA-PSK: Selecting this will enable you to set up WPA-PSK security on the Router. WEP: Selecting this will enable you to set up WEP security on the Router. The AP card supports 64-bit, 128-bit, or 256-bit WEP encryption. If WEP is selected, any station can connect to the AP (as long as its SSID matches the AP SSID). If wireless security is disabled, the risk of someone nearby accessing the AP is maximized. WPA Shared Key This is a passphrase (also called a shared secret) that must be entered in both the wireless router and the wireless client. This shared secret can be between 8 to 63 text characters (or 64 hexadecimal characters) and can include special characters and spaces. The WPA Shared Key should be a random sequence of either keyboard characters (upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and punctuation), at lease 20 characters long, or hexadecimal digits (numbers 0-9 and letters A-F) at least 24 hexadecimal digits long. The more random your WPA Shared Key, the safer it is to use. WPA Group Rekey Interval Factory Default = 3600 The number of seconds between rekeying the WPA group key. A zero “0” means that rekeying is disabled. Data Encryption Factory Default = TKIP Possible Respone: TKIP- Selecting this option enables the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol for data encryption. AES- Selecting this option enables the Advanced Encryption Standard for data encryption. TKIP/AES- Selecting this option enables the Router to accept either TKIP or AES encryption

Station Name The station name or description that the MAC address is assigned to. This is an optional field that is useful in identifying the station.
030-300432 Rev. A 84 December 2004 User Guide 13.4.4 Wireless Advanced Configuration The following screen will be displayed if you select Wireless > Advanced from the Configuration menu. If you change the settings in this screen, you must click save to save the settings. Wireless Advanced Configuration Beacon Period The time interval between beacon frame transmissions. Beacons contain rate and capability information. Beacons received by stations can be used to identify the access points in the area. RTS Threshold RTS/CTS handshaking will be performed for any data or management MPDU containing a number of bytes greater than the threshold. If this value is larger than the MSDU size (typically set by the fragmentation threshold), no handshaking will be performed. A value of zero will enable handshaking for all MPDUs. Fragmented Threshold Any MSDU or MMPDU larger than this value will be fragmented into an MPDU of the specified size. DTIM Interval The number of Beacon intervals between DTIM transmissions. Multicast and broadcast frames are delivered after every DTIM Supported Rates 802.11b Rates (Mbps) 802.11g Rates (Mbps) These are the allowable communication rates that the Router will attempt to use.

For Ethernet network to function properly, only one active path can exist between two stations. When ENABLED, two bridges are used to interconnect the same two computer network segments. Spanning Tree Protocol will allow the bridges to exchange information so that only one of them will handle a given message that is being sent between two computers within the network. NOTE: Spanning Tree can’t be enabled if VLAN is enabled. Status Allows you to enable or disable your VC (Virtual Connection)
