CHAPTER 7 | NAT ConfigurationNAT Settings– 48 –NAT SETTINGSNetwork Address Translation (NAT) is a standard method of mapping multiple “internal” IP addresses to one “external” IP address on devices at the edge of a network. For the RG300, the internal (local) IP addresses are the IP addresses assigned to local PCs by the DHCP server, and the external IP address is the IP address assigned to the WiMAX interface. Figure 32: NAT SettingsThe following item is displayed on this page:◆Enable – Enables NAT on the device.
CHAPTER 7 | NAT ConfigurationPort Mapping– 49 –PORT MAPPINGUsing the NAT Port Mapping feature, remote users can access different servers on your local network using your single public IP address.Remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site thorugh your public IP address, are redirected (mapped) to other local server IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers. For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.7.9/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users forwarded to 192.168.7.9 on port 80. Therefore, by just using your external IP address provided by your ISP, Internet users can access the services they need at the local addresses to which you redirect them.The more common TCP service port numbers include: HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and SSH: 22.Figure 33: Port MappingThe following parameters are displayed on this page:◆Private IP – The IP address of the server on the local Ethernet network. The specified address must be in the same subnet as the RG300 and its DHCP server address pool. Alternatively, the IP address can be set by selecting a PC from the DHCP client list. ◆Use Client List – Allows the Private IP to be selected from the DHCP client list.◆Private Port – Specifies the TCP/UDP port number used on the local server for the service.

– 64 –11 VOIP SETTINGSVoice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology is a way of using the Internet to make phone calls. Phone calls can be tranmitted over the Internet by encoding a voice call into data packets at one end and then decoding it back into voice calls at the other end. This encoding and decoding is from a analog signal (your voice) into a digital signal (data packets) and then back into an analog signal. The RG300 uses Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) as the control mechanism that sets up, initiates, and terminates calls between a caller and a called party. The SIP messaging makes use of “Proxy,” “Redirect,” and “Registration” servers to process call requests and find the location of called parties across the Internet. When SIP has set up a call between two parties, the actual voice communication is a direct peer-to-peer connection using the standard Real-Time Protocol (RTP), which streams the encoded voice data across the network.You can make VoIP calls by connecting a regular phone to one of the RG300’s RJ-11 Phone ports. The RG300 allows up to two RJ-11 Phone ports to be configured separately with different settings.The VoIP configuration pages include the following options:◆“SIP Account” on page 65◆“SIP Settings” on page 66◆“Speed Dial” on page 67◆“Dial Plan” on page 68◆“Call Feature” on page 70◆“Phone Settings” on page 72◆“Codecs” on page 73

SIP SETTINGSThe SIP Setting page allows you to configure RTP, DTMF, and FAX settings.Figure 46: SIP SettingsThe following items are displayed on this page:◆RTP Port — The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) and Real-time Control Protocol (RTCP) do not use specified port numbers. You can specify a port base that the RTP and RTCP traffic can use. ◆DTMF Key Pad — Enables the sending of dual-tone multi-frequency (touch tone) phone signals over the VoIP connection. There are two methods to choose from:■In-band — The DTMF signals are sent over the RTP voice stream. In the case when low-bandwidth codecs are used, the DTMF signals may be distorted.■RFC2833 — Uses the RFC 2833 method to relay the DTMF signals over the RTP voice stream without any distortion.
CHAPTER 11 | VoIP SettingsSpeed Dial– 67 –◆FAX — Selects the method to use when sending fax messages over the VoIP network from a fax machine connected to one of the RJ-11 Phone ports on the Gateway. ■FAX T.38 — The SIP protocol sets up the VoIP call, then the T.38 Fax Relay protocol sends the fax data over the network.■FAX Pass-Through — Enables voice calls and faxes to be sent from the Phone port connection. For this option, fax signals are sent over the VoIP network using the voice codec, just as if it were a voice call.◆Session Timer Enable — Enables a limit on the duration of VoIP calls.◆Session Timer Interval — Sets the maximum time limit for VoIP calls.SPEED DIALThe Speed Dial page allows you to configure up to eight VoIP numbers that are immediately dialed when a user enters the Speed Dial Key sequence (as defined on the Dial Plan page) followed by a speed dial number.Figure 47: Speed Dial
CHAPTER 11 | VoIP SettingsDial Plan– 68 –DIAL PLANDial-plan strings specify key sequences used for specific calling features (Transfer, New Call, 3-way conference), as well as defining call restriction filters.A dial plan can filter the number and pattern of digits that a user dials to reach a particular telephone number. Access codes, area codes, specialized codes, and combinations of the number of digits dialed can all be part of a dial plan. This enables a user to predefine dialling sequences that are permitted. The dial-plan string consists of a single digit rule. A typical example of a dial-plan string is: [0123]xxxxxx.tFive standard dial plans are defined; Call Transfer Key, New Call Key, Set Speed Dial Key, Speed Dial Key, and 3-way Conference. Up to 10 other dial plans can be defined by the user.Figure 48: Dial Plan SettingsThe function of elements allowed in a dial plan are described in the table below:Table 5: Dial Plan ElementsElement Example Descriptionx xxxx Represents a digit of any value ( 0 to 9) that can be dialed on a phone. This example has a rule with four digits of any number.. xx. Indicates zero or more occurrences of the previous symbol. The example acts like a wildcard, meaning any dialed phone number of two or more digits is allowed.0-9 01xx Indicates dialed digits that must be matched. This example only allows four-digit numbers starting “01.”
CHAPTER 11 | VoIP SettingsDial Plan– 69 –When a user dials a series of digits, the dial-plan rule is tested for a possible match. If a match is made, the dialed sequence is transmitted. If no match is made, the dialed number is blocked and the user will hear an error tone.A dial-plan string cannot include spaces between elements. Dialed sequences that are longer than specified in a dial-plan rule are truncated after the number of specified digits. For example, if the dial-plan rule is “011x” and “0115678” is dialed, only the digit sequence “0115” is transmitted. [ ] [125-8] Limits a dialed digit to specified values or a range of values. The example specifies that only digits 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are permitted.t xx.t The timeout indicator that can placed after dialed digits or at the end of the dial-plan string.Table 5: Dial Plan ElementsElement Example Description
CHAPTER 11 | VoIP SettingsCall Feature– 70 –CALL FEATUREThe RG300 allows you to configure several call features, such as call waiting and call-forwarding. Other call features can be implemented by pressing specific phone buttons or entering dial patterns. NOTE: Some call features may be dependent on support at the SIP server. Check with the SIP service provider.Figure 49: Call FeaturesThe following items are displayed on this page:◆Call Waiting — Enables a call waiting alert. If during a call there is another incoming call, an alert tone is heard. You can place the active call on hold (press the “Flash” or “Flash Hook” button on the phone) and switch to the incoming call. ◆Call Transfer — Transfers any received call to another number you specify. ■Blind Transfer — During a call press the “Flash” button, which puts the caller on hold, then enter the transfer key sequence (as defined on the Dial Plan page; default “*#”). You can then dial the transfer number. The call is transfered immediately and you can hang up. The transfered call shows the caller ID of the original calling party and not your caller ID.■Early Transfer — During a call press the “Flash” button, which puts the caller on hold, then enter the new call key sequence (as defined on the Dial Plan page; default “**”). You can then dial the transfer number. When you hear the transfer number ringtone, enter the transfer key sequence (as defined on the Dial Plan page; default “*#”) and then hang up. The transfered call initially shows your
CHAPTER 11 | VoIP SettingsCall Feature– 71 –caller ID when the transferee phone is ringing, but then shows the original calling party ID as soon as you hang up.■Attended Transfer — During a call press the “Flash” button, which puts the caller on hold, then enter the new call key sequence (as defined on the Dial Plan page; default “**”). You can then dial the transfer number and talk to the transferee. After speaking to the transferee, enter the transfer key sequence (as defined on the Dial Plan page; default “*#”) and then hang up to transfer the call. The transfered call shows your caller ID and not the caller ID of the original calling party.◆Call Forward — Configures settings that control various call forwarding features.■Always Forward Number — Forwards an incoming call to another number.■On Busy Forward Number — When Call Waiting is disabled, specifies another phone number to which incoming calls are forwarded when the phone is busy.■No Answer Forward Number — Another phone number to which incoming calls are forwarded when there is no answer.■No Answer Forward Timer — The time a call waits for an answer before being forwarded to the No Answer Forward Phone Number. (Must be less than or equal to the value of Answer Timeout; Range: 0~20 seconds)
CHAPTER 11 | VoIP SettingsPhone Settings– 72 –PHONE SETTINGSThe Phone Settings page allows you to configure control features that affect a phone connected to a VoIP port.Figure 50: Phone SettingsThe following items are displayed on this page:◆Caller ID Block — Check this box to enable a block on the displayed ID of incoming calls. ◆Echo Cancellation — Enables a time delay for voice echo cancellation. A voice echo can be created on some two-wire phone loops, which becomes increasingly louder and annoying when there is a long delay. If voice echo is a problem during a call, you can enable this parameter to try and reduce or remove it. ◆Voice Activation Detection — Enables the detection of periods of silence in the audio stream so that they are not transmitted over the network. ◆Comfortable Noise Generation — Creates artificial noise for the listener during detected silent intervals in the audio stream. ◆Answer Timeout — The time after which a no answer message is sent to the caller. (Range: 0-60 seconds; Setting of zero disables the timeout)◆Dial Tone Timeout — The length of time a dial tone is heard on a connected phone. (Range: 0-60 seconds; Setting of zero disables the timeout)◆Inter Digit Timeout — The maximum time delay allowed between each dialed digit. When the time is exceeded, a call is made using the dialed digits. (Range: 0-10 seconds; Setting of zero disables the timeout)
CHAPTER 11 | VoIP SettingsCodecs– 73 –CODECSA codec (coder/decoder) is the way a voice analog signal is converted into a digital bitstream to send over the network, and how it is converted back into an analog signal at the receiving end. Codecs differ in the type of data compression that is used to save network bandwidth and in the time delay caused in the signal. This results in different voice quality experienced by the user. The voice codecs in common use today have been standardized by the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) and are identified by a standard number, such as G.711. The same codec must be supported at each end of a VoIP call to be able to encode and decode the signal. Since devices in other networks may want to use different codecs, the RG300 supports several common standards.Figure 51: VoIP CodecsThe following items are displayed on this page:◆Codecs — Lists the codecs supported by the Gateway. You can enable specific codecs to use, or enable all. Alternatively, you may want to disable certain codecs, such as high-bandwidth codecs, to preserve network bandwidth.■PCMA (G.711 ALaw) — The ITU-T G.711 with A-law standard codec that uses Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) to produce a 64 Kbps high-quality voice data stream. This standard is used in Europe and most other countries around the world.■PCMU (G.711 ULaw) — The ITU-T G.711 with mu-law standard codec that uses Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) to produce a 64 Kbps high-quality voice data stream. This standard is used in North America and Japan.■G.729a — The ITU-T G.729ab standard codec that uses Conjugate Structure Algebraic-Code Excited Linear Prediction (CS-ACELP) with silence suppression to produce a low-bandwidth data stream of 8 Kbps. Note that DTMF and fax tones do not transport reliably with this codec, it is better to use G.711 for these signals.◆Priority List — The Gateway automatically negotiates the codec to use for each called party. You can specify a priority for the codecs that you prefer to use. Select a codec in the list, then use the UP and DOWN
CHAPTER 11 | VoIP SettingsCodecs– 74 –buttons to set the priority. The Gateway attempts to use the codec highest in the list before trying the next lower one.
– 75 –12 WI-FI SETTINGSThe RG300 includes an IEEE 802.11n radio interface for local Wi-Fi communications. The Wi-Fi set up pages include configuration options for the radio signal characteristics and Wi-Fi security. The Wi-Fi configuration pages include the following options:◆“Basic Wireless Settings” on page 76◆“Advanced Wireless Settings” on page 78◆“Wireless Security” on page 79◆“ACL Settings” on page 83
CHAPTER 12 | Wi-Fi SettingsBasic Wireless Settings– 76 –BASIC WIRELESS SETTINGSFrom the WiFi menu, click on Basic to configure basic settings for the unit’s Wi-Fi radio interface. The unit’s radio can operate in six modes, IEEE 802.11b/g mixed, 802.11b only, 802.11g only, 802.11n only, 802.11g/n mixed, and 802.11b/g/n mixed.Note that IEEE 802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b, and 802.11n is backward compatible with 802.11b/g at slower data transmit rates.Figure 52: Wireless SettingsThe following items are displayed on this page:◆Radio Enable — Enables or disables the radio.◆Network Mode — Defines the radio operating mode. ■11b/g mixed: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the Wi-Fi radio (up to 108 Mbps), but data transmission rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11b clients. Any 802.11n clients will also be able to communicate with the Wi-Fi radio, but they will be limited to 802.11g protocols and data transmission rates.■11b only: All 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n clients will be able to communicate with the Wi-Fi radio, but the 802.11g and 802.11n clients will be limited to 802.11b protocols and data transmission rates (up to 11 Mbps).■11g only: Both 802.11g and 802.11n clients will be able to communicate with the Wi-Fi radio, but the 802.11n clients will be limited to 802.11g protocols and data transmission rates (up to 54 Mbps). Any 802.11b clients will not be able to communicate with the Wi-Fi radio.■11n only: Only 802.11n clients will be able to communicate with the Wi-Fi radio (up to 150 Mbps).■11g/n mixed: Both 802.11g and 802.11n clients can communicate with the Wi-Fi radio (up to 150 Mbps), but data transmission rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11g clients.
CHAPTER 12 | Wi-Fi SettingsBasic Wireless Settings– 77 –■11b/g/n Mixed: All 802.11b/g/n clients can communicate with the Wi-Fi radio (up to 150 Mbps), but data transmission rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11b/g clients.◆SSID — The name of the wireless network service provided by the Wi-Fi radio. Clients that want to connect to the network must set their SSID to the same as that of the Wi-Fi radio. Select “CUSTOMIZED” to set a specific text string, or select “MAC” to use the device MAC address as the SSID. (Range: 1-32 characters)◆Hidden — By default, the Wi-Fi radio always broadcasts the SSID in its beacon signal. Disabling the SSID broadcast increases security of the network because wireless clients need to already know the SSID before attempting to connect. ◆Country Code — The country code restricts operation of the Wi-Fi radio to the channels and transmit power levels permitted for Wi-Fi networks in the specified region. You must set the correct Country Code to be sure the radio conforms to local regulations. (Options: United States, Japan, France, Taiwan, Ireland) CAUTION: You must set the country code to the country of operation. Setting the country code restricts operation of the access point to the radio channels and transmit power levels permitted for wireless networks in the specified country.◆Channel — The radio channel that the Wi-Fi radio uses to communicate with wireless clients. When multiple access points are deployed in the same area, set the channel on neighboring access points at least five channels apart to avoid interference with each other. For example, you can deploy up to three access points in the same area using channels 1, 6, 11. Note that wireless clients automatically set the channel to the same as that used by the Wi-Fi radio to which it is linked. Selecting Auto Select enables the Wi-Fi radio to automatically select an unoccupied radio channel. NOTE: If you experience poor performance, you may be encountering interference from another wireless device. Try changing the channel, as this may eliminate interference and increase performance. Channels 1, 6, and 11, as the three non-overlapping channels in the 2.4 GHz band, are preferred.
CHAPTER 12 | Wi-Fi SettingsAdvanced Wireless Settings– 78 –ADVANCED WIRELESS SETTINGSThe Advanced Settings page includes additional parameters concerning the wireless network and Wi-Fi Multimedia settings.Figure 53: Advanced Wireless SettingsThe following items are displayed on this page:◆Beacon Period — The rate at which beacon signals are transmitted from the access point. The beacon signals allow wireless clients to maintain contact with the access point. They may also carry power-management information. (Range: 20-999 TUs)◆DTIM Period — The rate at which stations in sleep mode must wake up to receive broadcast/multicast transmissions. Known also as the Delivery Traffic Indication Map (DTIM) interval, it indicates how often the MAC layer forwards broadcast/multicast traffic, which is necessary to wake up stations that are using Power Save mode. The value of one beacon indicates that the access point will save all broadcast/multicast frames for the Basic Service Set (BSS) and forward them after every beacon. Using smaller DTIM intervals delivers broadcast/multicast frames in a more timely manner, causing stations in Power Save mode to wake up more often and drain power faster. Using higher DTIM values reduces the power used by stations in Power Save mode, but delays the transmission of broadcast/multicast frames. (Range: 1-255 beacons)◆Frag Threshold – Configures the minimum packet size that can be fragmented when passing through the access point. Fragmentation of the PDUs (Package Data Unit) can increase the reliability of transmissions because it increases the probability of a successful transmission due to smaller frame size. If there is significant interference present, or collisions due to high network utilization, try setting the fragment size to send smaller fragments. This will speed up the retransmission of smaller frames. However, it is more efficient to set the fragment size larger if very little or no interference is present because it requires overhead to send multiple frames. (Range: 256-2346 bytes)◆RTS Threshold — Sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send (RTS) signal must be sent to a receiving station prior to the sending station starting communications. The access point sends RTS
CHAPTER 12 | Wi-Fi SettingsWireless Security– 79 –frames to a receiving station to negotiate the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station sends a CTS (clear to send) frame to notify the sending station that it can start sending data.If the RTS threshold is set to 0, the access point always sends RTS signals. If set to 2347, the access point never sends RTS signals. If set to any other value, and the packet size equals or exceeds the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) mechanism will be enabled.The access points contending for the medium may not be aware of each other. The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node Problem.” (Range: 1-2347 bytes)◆TX Power – Adjusts the power of the radio signals transmitted from the unit. The higher the transmission power, the farther the transmission range. Power selection is not just a trade off between coverage area and maximum supported clients. You also have to ensure that high-power signals do not interfere with the operation of other radio devices in the service area. (Range: 1 - 100)◆Short Slot — Sets the basic unit of time the access point uses for calculating waiting times before data is transmitted. A short slot time (9 microseconds) can increase data throughput on the access point, but requires that all clients can support a short slot time (that is, 802.11g-compliant clients must support a short slot time). A long slot time (20 microseconds) is required if the access point has to support 802.11b clients. WIRELESS SECURITYThe RG300’s Wi-Fi interface is configured by default as an “open system,” which broadcasts a beacon signal including the configured SSID. Wireless clients with a configured SSID of “ANY” can read the SSID from the beacon, and automatically set their SSID to allow immediate connection to the wireless network.To implement wireless network security, you have to employ two main functions:◆Authentication – It must be verified that clients attempting to connect to the network are authorized users.◆Traffic Encryption – Data passing between the unit and clients must be protected from interception and evesdropping.The RG300’s Wi-Fi interface supports supports five different security mechanisms that provide various levels of authentication and encryption depending on the requirements of the network.Click on “Wi-Fi,” followed by “Security”.
CHAPTER 12 | Wi-Fi SettingsWireless Security– 80 –Figure 54: Security Mode OptionsThe supported security mechanisms and their configuration parameters are described in the following sections:◆OPEN, SHARED — See “Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)” on page 80.◆WPAPSK, WPA2PSK, WPAPSK/WPA2PSK mixed mode — See “WPA Pre-Shared Key” on page 81.WIRED EQUIVALENTPRIVACY (WEP)WEP provides a basic level of security, preventing unauthorized access to the network, and encrypting data transmitted between wireless clients and an access point. WEP uses static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are manually distributed to all clients that want to use the network.When you select to use WEP, be sure to define at least one static WEP key for user authentication or data encryption. Also, be sure that the WEP shared keys are the same for each client in the wireless network.Figure 55: Security Mode - WEPThe following items are displayed in this section on this page:◆Auth Mode — Configures the WEP security mode used by clients. When using WEP, be sure to define at least one static WEP key for the RG300 and all its clients. ■OPEN — Open-system authentication accepts any client attempting to connect the RG300 without verifying its identity. In this mode the default data encryption type is “WEP.” ■SHARED — The shared-key security uses a WEP key to authenticate clients connecting to the network and for data encryption.
CHAPTER 12 | Wi-Fi SettingsWireless Security– 81 –◆Encrypt Type — Selects WEP for data encryption (OPEN mode only).◆Default ID — Selects the WEP key number to use for authentication or data encryption. If wireless clients have all four WEP keys configured to the same values, you can change the encryption key to any of the settings without having to update the client keys. (Range: 1~4)◆Key 1~4 Type — Sets WEP key type as ASCII or hexadecimal. ◆Key 1~4 String — Sets WEP key values. The user must first select ASCII or hexadecimal keys. Each WEP key has an index number. Enter key values that match the key type and length settings. Enter 5 alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for 64-bit keys, or enter 13 alphanumeric characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-bit keys. WPA PRE-SHAREDKEYWi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) was introduced as an interim solution for the vulnerability of WEP pending the adoption of a more robust wireless security standard. WPA2 includes the complete wireless security standard, but also offers backward compatibility with WPA. Both WPA and WPA2 provide an “enterprise” and “personal” mode of operation.For small home or office networks, WPA and WPA2 provide a simple “personal” operating mode that uses just a pre-shared key for network access. The WPA Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) mode uses a common password phrase for user authentication that is manually entered on the access point and all wireless clients. Data encryption keys are automatically generated by the access point and distributed to all clients connected to the network.Figure 56: Security Mode - WPA-PSKThe following items are displayed in this section on this page:◆Auth Mode — Configures the WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK security modes used by clients. When using WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, be sure to define the shared key for the RG300 and all its clients. ■WPAPSK — Clients using WPA with a Pre-shared Key are accepted for authentication. The default data encryption type for WPA is TKIP.■WPA2PSK — Clients using WPA2 with a Pre-shared Key are accepted for authentication. The default data encryption type for WPA is AES.
CHAPTER 12 | Wi-Fi SettingsWireless Security– 82 –■WPAPSK/WPA2PSK mixed mode — Clients using WPA or WPA2 with a Pre-shared Key are accepted for authentication. The default data encryption type is TKIP/AES.◆EncryptType — Selects the data encryption type to use. (Default is determined by the Security Mode selected.)■TKIP — Uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) keys for encryption. WPA specifies TKIP as the data encryption method to replace WEP. TKIP avoids the problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data encryption keys.■AES — Uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) keys for encryption. WPA2 uses AES Counter-Mode encryption with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC) for message integrity. The AES Counter-Mode/CBCMAC Protocol (AES-CCMP) provides extremely robust data confidentiality using a 128-bit key. Use of AES-CCMP encryption is specified as a standard requirement for WPA2. Before implementing WPA2 in the network, be sure client devices are upgraded to WPA2-compliant hardware.■TKIPAES — Uses either TKIP or AES keys for encryption. WPA and WPA2 mixed modes allow both WPA and WPA2 clients to associate to a common SSID. In mixed mode, the unicast encryption type (TKIP or AES) is negotiated for each client.◆Pass Phrase — The WPA Preshared Key can be input as an ASCII string (an easy-to-remember form of letters and numbers that can include spaces) or Hexadecimal format. (Range: 8~63 ASCII characters, or exactly 64 Hexadecimal digits)
CHAPTER 12 | Wi-Fi SettingsACL Settings– 83 –ACL SETTINGSWireless clients can be authenticated for network access by checking their MAC address against a local database configured on the RG300. You can configure a list of up to 32 wireless client MAC addresses in the filter list to allow network access.Figure 57: ACL SettingsThe following items are displayed on this page:◆Enable — Enables the ACL feature.◆MAC Address — Physical address of a client. Enter six pairs of hexadecimal digits separated by colons; for example, 00:90:D1:12:AB:89.◆Add — Click to list a new specified MAC address in the MAC Authentication Table. ◆Operation — Click the Remove button to delete the specified MAC address from the table.
– 84 –13 QOS CONFIGURATIONThe RG300 supports Quality of Service (QoS) settings that enable traffic rate limits to be set for all or specific LAN clients.The QoS configuration pages include the following options:◆“QoS Settings” on page 85
CHAPTER 13 | QoS ConfigurationQoS Settings– 85 –QOS SETTINGSFrom the QoS Settings page, you can set rate limits for outbound (WiMAX uplink) traffic from all or specified clients.Figure 58: QoS SettingsThe following parameters are displayed on this page:◆General — Sets QoS parameters that apply to all LAN clients (except those listed in the QoS Rules table):■Enable — Enables the QoS settings on the Gateway.■Default Outbound Rate/Limit — Sets a rate limit for the outbound traffic from all clients not specified in the QoS Rules table. The rate is specified in kilobytes per second (0 means unlimited).◆Rules — Specifies the QoS rate limits for specified client source IPs: ■Source IP — Specifies a source IP address on the local network. The IP address can also be selected from the DHCP client list, as indicated by “Use Client List.”■Use Client List – Enables the Source IP to be selected from the DHCP client list.■Outbound Rate/Limit — Sets a rate limit for the outbound traffic from the specified source IP in kilobytes per second (0 means unlimited).■Description — A text srting that identifies the rule.

– 93 –CCABLES AND PINOUTSTWISTED-PAIR CABLE ASSIGNMENTS For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable. CAUTION: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific orientation. (See “Straight-Through Wiring” on page 94 and “Crossover Wiring” on page 95 for an explanation.)CAUTION: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into the RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.The following figure illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the wires to the pins.Figure 59: RJ-45 Connector10/100BASE-TX PINASSIGNMENTSUse unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or 100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).The RJ-45 ports on the unit supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable.1881
