If the automatic assigned DNS checkbox is not selected, then enter the primary and secondary DNS Server IP addresses as illustrated below. Dynamic DNS Dynamic DNS (D-DNS) allows you to have your own permanent domain name linked to your dynamic IP address. To configure a dynamic DNS, click on Add. If you have already created a dynamic DNS that you want to delete, click on Remove. 47 Zhone Bonded Channel User Manual Version 1.1 Document #: BD-ZU0007-11
The below screen allows you to set up the Dynamic DNS provider. Note that you will have to first register at the Dynamic DNS site that you wish to use. Select from either DynDNS.org or TZO. Then enter the hostname and the interface that you want to establish the D-DNS address to. Enter the username / password for the D-DNS account that you have signed up for and then click on Save / Apply. ADSL There are three major items in the ADSL settings: Modulation Methods Six modulation methods for different linking speed are supported by the 6211 ADSL router: G.Dmt Enabled, G.lite Enabled, T1.413 Enabled, ADSL Enabled, Annex L Enabled, and ADSL2+ Enabled.

Tone Settings The frequency band of ADSL is split up into 256 separate tones, each spaced 4.3125 kHz apart. With each tone carrying separate data, the technique operates as if 256 separate modems were running in parallel. The tone range is from 0 to 31 for upstream and from 32 to 255 for downstream. Do not change these settings unless instructed by your ISP. 50 Zhone Bonded Channel User Manual Version 1.1 Document #: BD-ZU0007-11
Port Mapping Port mapping is a feature that allows you to open ports to allow certain Internet applications on the WAN side to pass through the firewall and enter your LAN.

Wireless This section allows you to configure wireless settings on your router. Basic The below Wireless—Basic screen lets you enable or disable wireless. The default setting for wireless is enabled. You can also hide the access point so others cannot see your ID on the network. Security The next screen is the Wireless – Security screen which allows you to select the network authentication method and to enable or disable WEP encryption. Note that depending on the network authentication that is selected, the screen will change accordingly so additional fields can be configured for the specific authentication method. Network authentication methods include the following— • Open—anyone can access the network. The default is a disabled WEP encryption setting. • Shared—WEP encryption is enabled and encryption key strength of 64-bit or 128-bit needs to be selected. Click on Set Encryption Keys to manually set the network encryption keys. Up to 4 different keys can be set and you can come back to select which one to use at anytime. 53 Zhone Bonded Channel User Manual Version 1.1 Document #: BD-ZU0007-11
54 Zhone Bonded Channel User Manual Version 1.1 Document #: BD-ZU0007-11 • 802.1X—requires mutual authentication between a client station and the router by including a RADIUS-based authentication server. Information about the RADIUS server such as its IP address, port and key must be entered. WEP encryption is also enabled and the encryption strength must also be selected. • WPA—(Wi-Fi Protected Access)— usually used for the larger Enterprise environment, it uses a RADIUS server and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) encryption (instead of WEP encryption which is disabled). TKIP uses128-bit dynamic session keys (per user, per session, and per packet keys). • WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access – Pre-Shared Key)—WPA for home and SOHO environments also using the same strong TKIP encryption, per-packet key construction, and key management that WPA provides in the enterprise environment. The main difference is that the password is entered manually. A group re-key interval time is also required. • WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)—second generation of WPA which uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) instead of TKIP as its encryption method. Network re-auth interval is the time in which another key needs to be dynamically issued. • WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 – Pre-Shared Key)—suitable for home and SOHO environments, it also uses AES encryption and requires you to enter a password and an re-key interval time. • Mixed WPA2 / WPA—during transitional times for upgrades in the enterprise environment, this mixed authentication method allows “upgraded” and users not yet “upgraded” to access the network via the router. RADIUS server information must be entered for WPA and a as well as a group re-key interval time. Both TKIP and AES are used. • Mixed WPA2 / WPA-PSK—useful during transitional times for upgrades in the home or SOHO environment, a pre-shared key must be entered along with the group re-key interval time. Both TKIP and AES are also used.
MAC Filter The MAC filter screen allows you to manage MAC address filters. Add the MAC addresses that you want to manage and then select the mode that you want to use to manage them. You can disable this feature or you can allow or deny access to the MAC addresses that you add to the list. The following screen appears when you want to add a MAC address to the filter. When completed, click on the Save / Apply button. 55 Zhone Bonded Channel User Manual Version 1.1 Document #: BD-ZU0007-11
Wireless Bridge In this next screen, you can select which mode you want the router to be in, either access point or wireless bridge. Advanced Advanced features of the wireless LAN interface can be configured in this section. Settings can be configured for the following— • AP Isolation—if you select enable, then each of your wireless clients will not be able to communicate with each other. • Band—a default setting at 2.4GHz – 802.11g 56 Zhone Bonded Channel User Manual Version 1.1 Document #: BD-ZU0007-11
57 Zhone Bonded Channel User Manual Version 1.1 Document #: BD-ZU0007-11 • Channel-- 802.11b and 802.11g use channels to limit interference from other devices. If you are experiencing interference with another 2.4Ghz device such as a baby monitor, security alarm, or cordless phone, then change the channel on your router. • Multicast Rate—the rate at which a message is sent to a specified group of recipients. • Basic Rate—the set of data transfer rates that all the stations will be capable of using to receive frames from a wireless medium. • Fragmentation Threshold—used to fragment packets which help improve performance in the presence of radio frequency (RF) interference. • RTS Threshold (Request to Send Threshold)—determines the packet size of a transmission through the use of the router to help control traffic flow. • DTIM Interval—sets the Wake-up interval for clients in power-saving mode. • Beacon Interval—a packet of information that is sent from a connected device to all other devices where it announces its availability and readiness. A beacon interval is a period of time (sent with the beacon) before sending the beacon again. The beacon interval may be adjusted in milliseconds (ms). • Xpress Technology—a technology that utilizes standards based on framebursting to achieve higher throughput. With Xpress Technology enabled, aggregate throughput (the sum of the individual throughput speeds of each client on the network) can improve by up to 25% in 802.11g only networks and up to 75% in mixed networks comprised of 802.11g and 802.11b equipment. • 54g Mode— 54g is a Broadcom Wi-Fi technology. • 54g Protection--the 802.11g standards provide a protection method so 802.11g and 802.11b devices can co-exist in the same network without “speaking” at the same time. Do not disable 54g Protection if there is a possibility that a 802.11b device may need to use your wireless network. In Auto Mode, the wireless device will use RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) to improve 802.11g performance in mixed 802.11g/802.11b networks. Turn protection off to maximize 802.11g throughput under most conditions. • WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia)—feature that improves the your experience for audio, video and voice applications over a Wi-Fi network.
Quality of Service WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) technology is available on the wireless router, allowing you to give multimedia applications a higher quality of service and priority in a wireless network so applications such as videos will be of higher quality. Enabling WMM may delay the network traffic of other lower assigned quality applications. WMM No Acknowledgement can be enabled if you enable WMM which refers to the acknowledgement policy used at the MAC level. To create a QoS entry, click the Add QoS Entry button to proceed to add or remove traffic class rules for your network. Click on Save/Apply WME Settings. 58 Zhone Bonded Channel User Manual Version 1.1 Document #: BD-ZU0007-11
