Primary Setup Primary Setup This screen contains all of the Router's basic setup functions. . 7 Most users will be able to configure the AP Router and get it working properly using the settings on this screen. Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will require that you enter AP Router Wireless 802.11g AP Router specific information, such as User Name, Password, IP Address, Default Gateway Address, or DNS IP Address. This information can be obtained from your ISP, if required. MAKE CORRECT NETWORK SETTINGS OF YOUR COMPUTER To change the configuration, use Internet Explorer (IE) or Netscape Communicator to connect the WEB management 192.168.1.1. WAN: Host Name: This entry is necessary for some ISPs and can be provided by them. Domain Name: This entry is necessary for some ISPs and can be provided by them. Configuration Type: The Router supports four connection types: Dynamic IP Setting: Static IP Address PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) Dynamic 8 Static IP Address PPPoE 9 PPTP These types can be selected from the drop-down menu next to Internet Connection. The information required and available features will differ depending on what kind of connection type you select. Some descriptions of this information are included here: Internet IP Address and Subnet Mask This is the Router's IP Address and Subnet Mask as seen by external users on the Internet (including your ISP). If your Internet connection requires a static IP address, then your ISP will provide you with a Static IP Address and Subnet Mask. Default Gateway Your ISP will provide you with the Gateway IP Address. DNS (Domain Name Server) IP Address Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS IP Address. User Name and Password Enter the User Name and Password you use when logging onto your ISP through a PPPoE or PPTP connection. 10 Connect on Demand You can configure the Router to disconnect your Internet connection after a specified period of inactivity (Max Idle Time). If your Internet connection has been terminated due to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Router to automatically re-establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. If you wish to activate Connect on Demand, click the radio button. If you want your Internet connection to remain active at all times, enter 0 in the 125Mbps AP Router max Idle Time field. Otherwise, enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet connection terminates. Keep Alive Option This option keeps you connected to the Internet indefinitely, even when your connection sits idle. To use this option, click the radio button next to Keep Alive. The default Redial Period is 30 seconds (in other words, the Router will check the Internet connection every 30 seconds). LAN IP Address and Subnet Mask: This is the Router's IP Address and Subnet Mask as seen on the internal LAN. The default value is 192.168.1.1 for IP Address and 255.255.255.0 for Subnet Mask. 11 Wireless: This section provide the Wireless Network settings for your WLAN Mode: This unit supports 3 wireless mode ­ 11b+g , 11g Only and AfterBurner (turbo mode). Caution : In case to reach the 125 Mbps turbo mode speed , user have to use the device which supported 125 Mbps technology 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. You shall have selected the same SSID for all the APs that will be communicating with mobile wireless stations. Domain: The displaying information is related with each domain regulation. Channel: Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your network settings. You shall assign a different channel for each AP to avoid signal interference. 12 4.2 Security: There are 3 types of security to be selected. To secure your Wireless Networks, it's strongly recommended to enable this feature. WEP / WPA Preshared Key / WPA Radius select the "enable" to enter "configure security" screen then you can see WEP / Preshared Key / WPA Radius mode 13 WEP: Make sure that all wireless devices on your network are using the same encryption level and key. WEP keys must consist of the letters "A" through "F" and the numbers "0" through "9." WPA-Preshared key 14 There are two encryption options for WPA Pre-Shared Key, TKIP and AES. TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP utilizes a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. AES stands for Advanced Encryption System, which utilizes a symmetric 128-Bit block data encryption. To use WPA Pre-Shared Key, enter a password in the WPA Shared Key field between 8 and 63 characters long. You may also enter a Group Key Renewal Interval time between 0 and 99,999 seconds. WPA Algorithms WPA Shared Key Group Key Renewal Please choose your algorithms method. You can select between TKIP or AES. Please input the Pre-Shared Key. The key should be 8 characters or 63 characters in alphanumeric. Please input the period of renewal time. The default selection is 300 seconds. Important Notice In order to make right use of WPA, please ensure that your current Wireless Adapter's driver, and Wireless Utility can support it, WPA needs 802.1x authentication (when RADIUS mode is chosen), though the Operating System must also support 802.1x protocol. For Microsoft's OS family, only Windows XP has incorporated this by default. The rest of the OS must installed 3er party's client software such as Funk Odyssey. WPA RADIUS 15 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. WPA Algorithms Radius Server Address Please choose your algorithms method. You can select between TKIP or AES. Please input your RADIUS Server IP address. Please input the Authentication port of your RADIUS server. The default port being used is 1812 The RADIUS server will accept the authentication if both Shared Key matched. Please input the period of renewal time. The default selection is 300 seconds. RADIUS Server Port RADIUS Shared Key Group Key Renewal 16 Router Password: Changing the password for the AP Router is as easy as typing the password into the Enter New Password field. Then, type it again into the Re-enter to confirm. * Click the Apply button to save the setting. Use the default password when you first open the configuration pages, after you have configured these settings, you should set a new password for the Router (using the Security screen). This will increase security, protecting the Router from unauthorized changes. VPN Pass-Through: Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is typically used for work-related networking. For VPN tunnels, the Router supports IPSec Pass-Through, L2TP Pass-Through, and PPTP Pass-Through. ¡E IPSec - Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a suite of protocols used to implement secure exchange of packets at the IP layer. To allow IPSec tunnels to pass through the Router, IPSec Pass-Through is enabled by default. To disable IPSec Pass-Through, uncheck the box next to IPSec. ¡E L2TP - Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is a protocol used to tunnel Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over the Internet. To allow L2TP tunnels to pass through the Router, L2TP Pass-Through is enabled by default. To disable L2TP Pass-Through, uncheck the box next to L2TP. ¡E PPTP - Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is the method used to enable VPN sessions to a Windows NT 4.0 or 2000 server. To allow PPTP tunnels to pass 17 through the Router, PPTP Pass-Through is enab ...
