The default setting for wireless is enabled. You canalso hide the access point so others cannot see your ID on thenetwork.SecurityThe next screen is the Wireless – Security screen which allowsyou to select the network authentication method and to enable ordisable WEP encryption. Note that depending on the networkauthentication that is selected, the screen will change accordinglyso additional fields can be configured for the specificauthentication method.
TriplePlayUser Manual 50Version 1.0Document #: BD-TU0001-10Network authentication methods include the following—•Open—anyone can access the network. The default is adisabled WEP encryption setting.•Shared—WEP encryption is enabled and encryption keystrength of 64-bit or 128-bit needs to be selected. Click onSet Encryption Keys to manually set the network encryptionkeys. Up to 4 different keys can be set and you can comeback to select which one to use at anytime.•802.1X—requires mutual authentication between a clientstation and the router by including a RADIUS-basedauthentication server. Information about the RADIUSserver such as its IP address, port and key must be entered.WEP encryption is also enabled and the encryptionstrength must also be selected.•WPA—(Wi-Fi Protected Access)— usually used for the largerEnterprise environment, it uses a RADIUS server and TKIP(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) encryption (instead ofWEP encryption which is disabled). TKIP uses128-bitdynamic session keys (per user, per session, and perpacket keys).•WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access – Pre-Shared Key)—WPA for home and SOHO environments also using thesame strong TKIP encryption, per-packet key construction,and key management that WPA provides in the enterpriseenvironment. The main difference is that the password isentered manually. A group re-key interval time is alsorequired.•WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)—second generation ofWPA which uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)instead of TKIP as its encryption method. Network re-authinterval is the time in which another key needs to bedynamically issued.•WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 – Pre-Shared Key)—suitable for home and SOHO environments, it also usesAES encryption and requires you to enter a password andan re-key interval time.•Mixed WPA2 / WPA—during transitional times for upgradesin the enterprise environment, this mixed authenticationmethod allows “upgraded” and users not yet “upgraded” to
TriplePlayUser Manual 51Version 1.0Document #: BD-TU0001-10access the network via the router. RADIUS serverinformation must be entered for WPA and a as well as agroup re-key interval time. Both TKIP and AES are used.•Mixed WPA2 / WPA-PSK—useful during transitional timesfor upgrades in the home or SOHO environment, a pre-shared key must be entered along with the group re-keyinterval time. Both TKIP and AES are also used.MAC FilterThe MAC filter screen allows you to manage MAC address filters.Add the MAC addresses that you want to manage and then selectthe mode that you want to use to manage them. You can disablethis feature or you can allow or deny access to the MACaddresses that you add to the list.The following screen allows you to add a MAC address to the filter.When completed, click on the Save / Apply button.
TriplePlayUser Manual 52Version 1.0Document #: BD-TU0001-10Wireless BridgeIn this next screen you can select the mode, either access point orwireless bridge that you want the router to be in. In the screenbelow, bridge restrict is enabled, therefore you see the remotebridges MAC address fields. If bridge restrict is disabled, thenthere is nothing left to do afterwards. Click on Save / Apply tocontinue.AdvancedAdvanced features of the wireless LAN interface can beconfigured in this section.Settings can be configured for the following—•AP Isolation—if you select enable, then each of yourwireless clients will not be able to communicate with eachother.•Band—a default setting at 2.4GHz – 802.11g•Channel— 802.11b and 802.11g use channels to limitinterference from other devices. If you are experiencinginterference with another 2.4Ghz device such as a babymonitor, security alarm, or cordless phone, then change thechannel on your router.•Multicast Rate—the rate at which a message is sent to aspecified group of recipients.
TriplePlayUser Manual 53Version 1.0Document #: BD-TU0001-10•Basic Rate—the set of data transfer rates that all thestations will be capable of using to receive frames from awireless medium.•Fragmentation Threshold—used to fragment packets whichhelp improve performance in the presence of radiofrequency (RF) interference.•RTS Threshold (Request to Send Threshold)—determinesthe packet size of a transmission through the use of therouter to help control traffic flow.•DTIM Interval—sets the Wake-up interval for clients inpower-saving mode.•Beacon Interval—a packet of information that is sent from aconnected device to all other devices where it announcesits availability and readiness. A beacon interval is a periodof time (sent with the beacon) before sending the beaconagain. The beacon interval may be adjusted in milliseconds(ms).•Xpress Technology—a technology that utilizes standardsbased on framebursting to achieve higher throughput. WithXpress Technology enabled, aggregate throughput (thesum of the individual throughput speeds of each client onthe network) can improve by up to 25% in 802.11g onlynetworks and up to 75% in mixed networks comprised of802.11g and 802.11b equipment.•54g Mode— 54g is a Broadcom Wi-Fi technology.•54g Protection--the 802.11g standards provide a protectionmethod so 802.11g and 802.11b devices can co-exist in thesame network without “speaking” at the same time. Do notdisable 54g Protection if there is a possibility that a 802.11bdevice may need to use your wireless network. In AutoMode, the wireless device will use RTS/CTS (Request toSend / Clear to Send) to improve 802.11g performance inmixed 802.11g/802.11b networks. Turn protection off tomaximize 802.11g throughput under most conditions.•WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia)—feature that improves the yourexperience for audio, video and voice applications over aWi-Fi network.

TriplePlayUser Manual 56Version 1.0Document #: BD-TU0001-10•SIP Proxy— enter 0.0.0.0 if no proxy server is being used orenter the IP address that was issued by the VoIP serviceprovider when you signed up.•SIP Proxy Port— this number is optional or if you obtainedone from the VoIP service provider, enter it here.•SIP Registrar— enter 0.0.0.0 if no proxy server is beingused or enter the IP address that was issued by the VoIPservice provider when you signed up.•SIP Registrar Port—this number is optional•SIP Domain Name— enter the domain name of the SIPserver if you are using one•SIP Outbound Proxy— provided by your service provider•SIP Outbound Proxy Port— provided by your serviceprovider•User 1 ID— this is the phone number•User 1 ID Name— the name that appears on caller ID whenyou call out•User 1 Authentication Name— the user name provided byyour service provider.•User 1 ID Password—the password for the User 1 ID•User 2 ID / ID Name / Authentication Name / ID Password—enter info only if you have a second telephone line•FXO Enabled— check this box to enable FXO and allow forconfiguration of FXO. Enabling FXO means that you havethe FXS (the phone jack on the wall) attached to the LINEport on the router. Essentially, you have telephone serviceto your router.
TriplePlayUser Manual 57Version 1.0Document #: BD-TU0001-10•FXO Call ID— the telephone number to access the PSTNline.•FXO Call ID Name— the default is 3001, but you canchange it to the name that appears on caller ID•FXO Authentication Name— the name of the user that isallowed to access the voice function of the router•FXO Call ID Password— the password for the FXO call ID•Dial Plan— plan for how numbers are dialed when usingVoIP. General characters in a dial plan are0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,*,#. Special characters in the dial planinclude the following—Special Characters in Dial Plan[ ] Any one of the characters in bracketsX Any digit character+ Zero or more repetitions of previous expression. Zero or more repetitions of previous expression, same as +( ) Expression grouping, all digits in parentheses must existand the order should match too| Either, orBelow is an example of how a dial plan works—With the dial plan xxxx | xx+* | xx+# | *6[0189] | *7[0-35] | *74xxxx,you can dial the following 6 types of phone numbers.(1) 4 arbitrary digits(2) arbitrary length of digits (at least one) with last inputequal to *(3) arbitrary length of digits (at least one) with last inputequal to #(4) *60, *61, *68, or *69(5) *70, *71, *72, *73, or *75(6) *74 and followed by 4 arbitrary digits
TriplePlayUser Manual 58Version 1.0Document #: BD-TU0001-10•SIP Local Port— 5060 is the typical SIP port number, but itdepends on your service provider•RTP Start Port— this is a starting parameter, usually anumber in the 10000s for Real-Time Transport ProtocolSIP AdvancedThis screen allows you to configure how to send and receivevoice activity.•Preferred Codec— select the voice encoder that you prefer.This does not guarantee that this encoder will be used, butwill be taken into consideration when deciding which voiceencoder to use. Each voice encoder varies by the amountof compression on the voice.
TriplePlayUser Manual 59Version 1.0Document #: BD-TU0001-10•Packetisation Time— (in microseconds) this is how often apacket should be sent. This can increase or decrease thetime duration between each packet sent.zVAD State— Voice Activity Detection—enabling will controlvoice information to be sent based on voice activity, whichcan reduce voice trafficzECAN State— Echo Canceller— enabling this feature willcancel out any echo in the call•DTMF Relay State— select between voice band and RFC2833. RFC 2833 describes how to carry out DTMFsignaling, other tone signals, and telephony events in RTPpackets.•Fax Mode— select between none or voice band data. Voiceband data is data being passed as audio using an audiocodec. Voice and voice band data have different trade-offs—voice requires low delay, but voice band data requireslow packet loss.•SIP Re-register Timer— (in microseconds)—the amount oftime before registration is required againzSession Expire Timer— (in microseconds)—when a callsession will end•Signaling / Voice TOS— type of service for signaling andvoice. A signaling transmission is used for building a voiceconnection. Voice TOS is used for voice transmission.Each call has two parts—first part involves the signalingtransmission when a call is made or received. The secondpart is when the call is connected, it transfers voice in voicetransmission.•Inter / Critical Digit Timer— inter-digit timer (IDT) is used astimeout check between each digit dialed, while the criticaldigit timer (CDT) is used for "almost completed" dialing towait for more digits. Essentially, CDT is the time that thedevice waits after the digits are dialed before it dials thenumbers.
TriplePlayUser Manual 60Version 1.0Document #: BD-TU0001-10zDo Not Disturb— this call-filtering feature prevents incomingcalls from coming through. Callers will hear a busy signalwhen you have the Do Not Disturb featured enabled.zAnswer Only— this mode is useful when you are unable toanswer your phone for a long time and do not want to havevoice messages accumulate. By turning on the AnswerOnly Mode, callers will hear a pre-recorded message andthe call will be disconnected. The caller will not be able toleave a message.•Prefix for Switch VOIP to PSTN— one of the ways that aphone number can be dialed using PSTN (and not VoIP). Itis the number prefix that you must enter in order to switchfrom using VOIP to your regular phone (public switchedtelephone network).•PSTN Dialplan— the PSTN dial plan is the first dial plan thatthe device will look at before dialing. If the numbers matchthe PSTN dial plan, then the PSTN line, not VoIP line, willbe used. Therefore, you should be careful when selectingyour PSTN dial plan to prevent VoIP calls from being dialedfrom your PSTN line.•PSTN Route Rule— for incoming or outgoing calls usingPSTN, this is the line (line 1 or line 2) that the call is sent orreceived through. You can select auto so that itautomatically selects an open line.•Locale Selection— the location that you are using the router•Remote Server for SIP Log Messages— if you enable theremote server, then fill out the following two fields—log IPaddress and log port.•Log IP Address— the IP address of the remote server forSIP log message•Log Port— the port number of the remote server
