Before setting up encryption and authentication for WL-500gP V2, contact your network administrator for advice.Click Wireless -> InterfaceWRRSHQWKHFRQÀJXUDWLRQSDJHEncryptionThe encrytion modes supported by WL-500gP V2 are: WEP (64bits), WEP (128bits), TKIP, AES, and TKIP+AES.WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, it uses 64bits or 128bits static keys to encrypt the data for wireless transmission. To setup WEP keys, set WEP Encryption to WEP-64bits or WEP-128bits, then manually type in four sets WEP Keys (10 hexadicimal digits for 64-bit key or 26 hexadicimal digits for 128-bit key). You can also let the system generate the keys by entering a Passphrase.TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP dynamically generates unique keys to encrypt every data packet in a wireless session.AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. This solution offers stronger protection and increases the complexity of wireless encryption.TKIP+AES is used when both WPA and WPA2 clients co-exist in the wireless network.WL500gP_Manual.indd 13 2007.4.19 5:05:46 PM

For example, if host 192.168.1.100 is FTP server which is to be accessed by Internet user, it means all packets from Internet with destination port as 21 are to be directed to the host. Set Well-known Application to FTP. Port range to 21, Local IP to the host IP, Local Port to 21, Protocol to TCP.3. Click Finish.4. Click Save & Restart to restart the wireless router and activate the settings.AuthenticationThe authentication methods supported by WL-500gP V2 include: Open, shared key, WPA-PSK, WPA, and Radius with 80.211x.Open: This option disables authentication protection for wireless network. Under Open mode, any IEEE802.11b/g client can connect to your wireless network.Shared: This mode uses the the WEP keys currently in use for authentication.WPA and WPA-PSK: WPA stands for WiFi-Protected Access. WPA provides two security modes: WPA for enterprise network, and WPA-PSK for home and SOHO users. For enterprise network, WPA uses the already existing RADIUS server for authentication; for home and SOHO user, it provides Pre-Shared Key (PSK) for XVHULGHQWLÀFDWLRQ7KH3UH6KDUHG.H\FRQVLVWVRIWRFKDUDFWHUVRadius with 802.1X: Similar with WPA, this solution also uses RADIUS server for authentication. The difference lays on the encryption mothods: WPA adopts TKIP or AES encryption methods, while Radius with 802.1X does not provide encryption.When authentication and encryption are set, click Finish to save the settings and restart the wireless router.6HWWLQJXSYLUWXDOVHUYHULQ\RXU/$1Virtual server is a Network Address Translation (NAT) function which turns a computer within a LAN into a server by allowing data packets of certain service, such as HTTP, from Internet. 1.
