The RG300 initial configuration steps can be made through its web
management interface using the Setup Wizard. It is recommended to make
the initial changes by connecting a PC directly to one of the RG300’s LAN
ports.
ACCESSING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
The RG300 has a default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. If your PC is set to have an IP address assigned by DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), you can connect immediately to the
web management interface. Otherwise, you must first check if your PC’s IP
address is set on the same subnet as the RG300 (that is, the PC’s IP
address starts 192.168.1.x).

PORT MAPPING
Using 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.

protocols allow remote users to establish a secure connection to their
corporate network. If your service provider supports VPNs, then these
protocols can be used to create an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for
passing secure data over the Internet (that is, a traditionally shared data
network).

◆PPTP Passthrough — PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)
provides a secure tunnel for remote client access to a PPTP security
gateway. PPTP includes provisions for call origination and flow control
required by ISPs.
◆L2TP IPsec Passthrough — L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol)
merges the best features of PPTP and the Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F)
protocol. Like PPTP, L2TP requires that the ISP’s routers support the
protocol. IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) encrypts and authenticates
entire IP packets and encapsulates them into new IP packets for secure
communications between networks.

11 VOIP SETTINGS
Voice 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

Dial Plan
– 68 –
DIAL PLAN
Dial-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.t
Five 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 Settings
The function of elements allowed in a dial plan are described in the table
below:
Table 5: Dial Plan Elements
Element Example Description
x 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.”

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.

Codecs
– 73 –
CODECS
A 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 Codecs
The 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

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.
N
OTE
:
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.

ADVANCED WIRELESS SETTINGS
The Advanced Settings page includes additional parameters concerning the
wireless network and Wi-Fi Multimedia settings.
Figure 53: Advanced Wireless Settings
The 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
![](/img.php?id=1456345&img=bg54.png)

| Wi-Fi Settings
Wireless 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 SECURITY
The 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.

The supported security mechanisms and their configuration parameters are
described in the following sections:

◆WPAPSK, WPA2PSK, WPAPSK/WPA2PSK mixed mode — See
“WPA Pre-Shared Key” on page 81.
WIRED EQUIVALENT
PRIVACY (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 - WEP
The 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.

◆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-SHARED
KEY
Wi-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-PSK
The 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.

■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)

TWISTED-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.

:
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.)
C
AUTION
:
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.

Use 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.

IEEE 802.16EThe WiMAX standard that provides mobile broadband wireless access using
Scalable Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (SOFDMA).
IP ADDRESS The Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical identification assigned to
a device that communicates in a network using the Internet Protocol.
ISP Internet Service Provider. A company that offers an access service that
connects customers to the Internet.
LED Light emitting diode. Used for indicating a device or network condition.
LAN Local Area Network. A group of interconnected computer and support
devices.
MAC ADDRESS The physical layer address used to uniquely identify network nodes.
MS-CHAPV2 Microsoft’s version 2 of the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol.
Introduced by Microsoft with Windows 2000, MS-CHAPV2 (defined in RFC
2759) provides mutual authentication between peers using user names
and passwords.
ODFM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing. The air interface defined for
IEEE 802.11g Wi-Fi. OFDM allows multiple users to transmit in an allocated
band by dividing the bandwidth into many narrow bandwidth carriers.
RJ-45 CONNECTOR A connector for twisted-pair wiring.
RSSI Receive Signal Strength Indicator. A measurement of the strength of a
received wireless signal. The higher the RSSI value, the stronger the
received signal from the antenna.
ROAMING The process where a WiMAX subscriber can move onto another operator’s
network while maintaining a continuous connection.
SOFDMA Scalable Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access. The air interface
defined for mobile WiMAX. SOFDMA is a multiple access method that allows
simultaneous transmissions to and from several users, employing a
subchannel structure that scales with bandwidth.
SERVICE PROVIDER See Internet Service Provider.

SSID Service Set Identifier. A name that is sent in packets over a Wi-Fi network,
which functions as a password for clients connecting to the network. The
SSID differentiates one Wi-Fi network from another.
SNTP Simple Network Time Protocol. SNTP allows a device to set its internal
clock based on periodic updates from a Network Time Protocol (NTP)
server. Updates can be requested from a specific NTP server, or can be
received via broadcasts sent by NTP servers.
SIM Subscriber Identity Module. A standard for a small removable integrated
circuit card that securely stores information used to identify a mobile
wireless subscriber.
SUBSCRIBER STATION A general term for a customer’s WIMAX terminal equipment that provides
connectivity with a base station.
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Protocol suite that
includes TCP as the primary transport protocol, and IP as the network layer
protocol.
TLS Transport Layer Security. An standard defined in RFC 5216, EAP-TLS is an
authentication protocol that provides strong security through the use of
client-side certificates.
TTLS Tunneled Transport Layer Security. EAP-TTLS is a protocol extension of
EAP-TLS. The authentication server is authenticated to the client using its
Certification Authority certificate, this establishes a secure “tunnel”
through which the client is then authenticated.
URL Uniform Resource Locator. An easy-to-read character string that is used to
represent a resource available on the Internet. For example, “http://
www.url-example.com/.”
UTP Unshielded twisted-pair cable.
WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy. WEP is the Wi-Fi security based on the use of
RC4 encryption keys. Wi-Fi devices without a valid WEP key are excluded
from the network.
PSK WPA Pre-shared Key. PSK security can be used for small Wi-Fi networks
that may not have the resources to configure and maintain a RADIUS

server. WPA provides a simple operating mode that uses just a pre-shared
password for network access.
WIMAX The IEEE 802.16 standard for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave
Access. The IEEE 802.16-2004 standard, known as “fixed WiMAX,”
supports only point-to-point links and has no support for mobility. The IEEE
802.16e-2005 standard, known as “mobile WiMAX,” is an amendment to
IEEE 802.16-2004 and supports mobility. Note that mobile WiMAX standard
is not backward compatible with the fixed WiMAX standard.
