In this mode, the Gateway will query the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to receive the IP address and routing information, which will terminate at the Gateway, as opposed to the IP address and routing information being bridged to terminate at the computer. This allows the use of the router capabilities for the Local Area Network (LAN). Some ISPs need to authenticate their end users with a Host Name and/or Domain Name. If this is the case, check with the ISP for a host name and domain name and enter them in the appropriate text boxes in the "Broadband Connection via DHCP" screen. If the ISP does not require these settings, leave the text boxes blank.
Note: Contact the
ISP if unsure of the proper configuration.
41

Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway Address provided by the ISP in the "Broadband Connection via Static IP Address" screen, which causes the IP address and routing information to terminate at the Gateway, as opposed to the IP address and routing information being bridged to terminate at the computer. This allows the use of the router capabilities for the Local Area Network (LAN).
Note: Contact the
Encapsulation
ISP if unsure of the proper configuration.
If the Gateway is configured to obtain an IP address through DHCP or to specify a static IP address, select the appropriate encapsulation option used by the ISP (RFC 1483 Bridged or RFC 1483 Routed).
Note: Contact the
ISP if unsure of the proper configuration.
Unnumbered Mode/VIP Mode If a block of public static IP addresses was purchased from the ISP, select Unnumbered Mode by clicking in the appropriate check box. Then, enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask in the "Gateway Address" and "Unnumbered Subnet Mask" text boxes below the "Unnumbered IP Address." Click Next, then click Save and Restart to make all changes permanent.
42
Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup

All wireless-capable computers included on the Gateway's wireless network must have this same ESSID value. (For the Actiontec 802.11b Wireless PC Card, the ESSID value must be the same as the SSID value.) Channel Channel assigns the frequency band at which the Gateway communicates. In the United States, use channels 1-11. (The factory default value is set to 1.)
44
Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup
Security There are four wireless security options: Off, WEP, WEP+802.1x, and WPA. The latter three options are different types of wireless security. Off Selecting Off disables wireless security. Selecting this option allows any computer with wireless capability and the correct ESSID value to join the wireless network. WEP Selecting the security option "WEP" and clicking Next in the Wireless Settings screen generates the "WEP Key" screen. Here, the authentication type, encryption level, and WEP keys are entered to activate WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) security encryption for the wireless network.
Authentication Type - There are three authentication types: Open, Shared, and Both. Open authentication allows any wireless-enabled device to recognize the Gateway, if the correct WEP key is enabled on the device. Shared allows only wireless-enabled devices with the correct WEP key and Shared key to recognize the Gateway. Selecting Both enables both Open and Shared authentication types. 64-bit WEP - 64-bit WEP requires four separate keys. Each key comprises five hexadecimal digit pairs. A hexadecimal digit consists of an alphanumeric character ranging from 0-9 or A-F. An example of a 64-bit WEP key is: 4E-A3-3D-68-72. To create a set of 64-bit WEP keys, activate all four keys by clicking in the appropriate circles, then enter five hexadecimal digit pairs in each Key text box (Key 1-, Key 2-, Key 3-, Key 4-). After activating 64-bit WEP on the Gateway, a computer with wireless capability can join the network only if these same keys are entered in the computer's wireless encryption scheme.
45
Actiontec 54 Mbps Wireless DSL Gateway User Manual
128-bit WEP - 128-bit WEP requires one or more keys, comprising 13 hexadecimal pairs. A hexadecimal digit consists of alphanumeric characters ranging from 0-9 or A-F. An example of a 128-bit WEP key is: 3D-44-FE-6C-A1-EF-2E-D3-C4-21-74-5DB1. To create a 128-bit WEP key, activate Key 1 by clicking in the appropriate circle, then enter 13 hexadecimal digit pairs in the Key text box. After activating 128-bit WEP on the Gateway, a computer with wireless capability can join the network only if this key is entered in the computer's wireless encryption scheme. 256-bit WEP - 256-bit WEP requires one or more keys, comprising 29 hexadecimal pairs. A hexadecimal digit consists of alphanumeric characters ranging from 0-9 or A-F. To create a 256-bit WEP key, activate Key 1 by clicking in the appropriate circle, then enter 29 hexadecimal digit pairs in the Key text box. After activating 256-bit WEP on the Gateway, a computer with wireless capability can join the network only if this key is entered in the computer's wireless encryption scheme. or 256-bit Note: Not allallwireless adapters support networked computers Ensure that adapters installed in the
