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.
•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.

there is nothing left to do afterwards. Click on Save / Apply to
continue.
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
•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.
TriplePlay
User Manual 53

•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.

•Packetisation Time— (in microseconds) this is how often a
packet should be sent. This can increase or decrease the
time duration between each packet sent.
zVAD State— Voice Activity Detection—enabling will control
voice information to be sent based on voice activity, which
can reduce voice traffic
zECAN State— Echo Canceller— enabling this feature will
cancel out any echo in the call
•DTMF Relay State— select between voice band and RFC
2833. RFC 2833 describes how to carry out DTMF
signaling, other tone signals, and telephony events in RTP
packets.
•Fax Mode— select between none or voice band data. Voice
band data is data being passed as audio using an audio
codec. Voice and voice band data have different trade-
offs—voice requires low delay, but voice band data requires
low packet loss.
•SIP Re-register Timer— (in microseconds)—the amount of
time before registration is required again
zSession Expire Timer— (in microseconds)—when a call
session will end
•Signaling / Voice TOS— type of service for signaling and
voice. A signaling transmission is used for building a voice
connection. Voice TOS is used for voice transmission.
Each call has two parts—first part involves the signaling
transmission when a call is made or received. The second
part is when the call is connected, it transfers voice in voice
transmission.
•Inter / Critical Digit Timer— inter-digit timer (IDT) is used as
timeout check between each digit dialed, while the critical
digit timer (CDT) is used for "almost completed" dialing to
wait for more digits. Essentially, CDT is the time that the
device waits after the digits are dialed before it dials the
numbers.

zDo Not Disturb— this call-filtering feature prevents incoming
calls from coming through. Callers will hear a busy signal
when you have the Do Not Disturb featured enabled.
zAnswer Only— this mode is useful when you are unable to
answer your phone for a long time and do not want to have
voice messages accumulate. By turning on the Answer
Only Mode, callers will hear a pre-recorded message and
the call will be disconnected. The caller will not be able to
leave a message.
•Prefix for Switch VOIP to PSTN— one of the ways that a
phone number can be dialed using PSTN (and not VoIP). It
is the number prefix that you must enter in order to switch
from using VOIP to your regular phone (public switched
telephone network).
•PSTN Dialplan— the PSTN dial plan is the first dial plan that
the device will look at before dialing. If the numbers match
the PSTN dial plan, then the PSTN line, not VoIP line, will
be used. Therefore, you should be careful when selecting
your PSTN dial plan to prevent VoIP calls from being dialed
from your PSTN line.
•PSTN Route Rule— for incoming or outgoing calls using
PSTN, this is the line (line 1 or line 2) that the call is sent or
received through. You can select auto so that it
automatically selects an open line.
•Locale Selection— the location that you are using the router
•Remote Server for SIP Log Messages— if you enable the
remote server, then fill out the following two fields—log IP
address and log port.
•Log IP Address— the IP address of the remote server for
SIP log message
•Log Port— the port number of the remote server
