Mail and Web Server Information

Some broadband providers use single words to direct the connection to their E-mail or

web servers (i.e. web, mail, pop3, www). If your ISP uses single words rather than a

whole internet address (pop.mail.actiontec.com), or IP address (24.55.224.34), then

you will need the full address information to configure your internet browser and/or E-

mail clients.

If this information was not provided during the installation and configuration of your

broadband connection, then you will need to contact your ISP and ask for it.

128-bit Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

The 128-bit encryption requires a single field of 13 hexadecimal pairs (A hexadecimal

digit consists of alphanumeric characters in the range 0-9 or A-F). An example of 128-

bit encryption would be: 3D-44-FE-6C-A1-EF-2E-D3-C4-21-74-5D-B1.If you do

create this key, make sure you enter it in your Wireless PC Card exactly as you have it

in the Wireless Cable/DSL Router.

Note: Do not use the 128-BIT WEP Key if your PC Card does not support it.

64-bit Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

The 64-bit eencryption requires 4 fields of 5 hexadecimal pairs. (A hexadecimal digit

consists of alphanumeric characters in the range of 0-9 or A-F). An example of 64-bit

encryption would be: 4E-23-3D-68-72. If you do create this key, make sure you enter

it in your Wireless PC Card exactly as you have it in the Wireless Cable/DSL Router.

Wireless Settings

The Wireless Settings screen allows you to take advantage of the Wireless Cable/DSL

Router’s wireless capabilities.

ESSID

(Default value set to ACTIONTEC) This is an arbitrary network name that you assign

to your wireless network. You may use alphanumeric characters (i.e.: A-Z, a-z, 0-9). It

is important that you set your Wireless PC Cards to the same ESSID value. (For the

Actiontec 802.11b Wireless PC Card the ESSID value should be the same as the SSID

value) This will enable the Wireless PC Cards to communicate with your Wireless

Cable/DSL Router.

Channel

This assigns the frequency band in which the Wireless Cable/DSL Router can commu-

nicate at. In the United States you may use channels 1-11. (Default value set to 1)

Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

This is an encryption method used in the 802.11b standard, to ensure data security over

your wireless network. The Actiontec Wireless Cable/DSL Router offers three levels of

encryption.If you do not require the encryption, it is recommended that you keep this

feature disabled (off). It is not required for wireless operation, and can reduce network

performance since each piece of data must be encrypted and decrypted.

DHCP Server Configuration

Beginning IP Address

Enter the IP Address for the DHCP Server to start when assigning IP Address. It is rec-

ommended that you keep the default settings of 192.168.0.2

Ending IP Address

Enter the IP Address for the DHCP Server to end when assigning IP Address. It is rec-

ommended that you keep the default settings of 192.168.0.254

wish.

DNS Server 2

Enter the secondary DNS provided by your ISP. You may keep the default settings if you

wish.

Services Blocking

This screen enables you to create Client or Internet privileges for certain computers’ on

your network. If you do not specify any settings then all of the computers on your net-

work will have full priviledges.

LAN IP Address

This is the IP Address of the Wireless Cable/DSL Router as seen on the internal LAN.

It is recommended that you keep the default settings, but if you need to change them

then be sure to verify the DHCP Server range is within the same subnet.

DHCP Server

Your Wireless Cable/DSL Router has a built-in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

(DHCP) Server that can automatically assign an IP Address to each computer on your

network.

It is highly recommended that you keep the default DHCP Server settings. If you wish

to disable your DHCP Server, select Off. You will need to ensure that the IP Address of

your computers are in the same subnet as that of the Wireless Cable/DSL Router. To be

in the same subnet, the IP address must begin with the same numbers for the first 3

fields. (Example: 192.168.0.1 would mean your IP address would have to be

192.168.0.x, with x being 2 - 254.)

DMZ Hosting

DMZ hosting is used to support online gaming and Internet confrencing services. These

programs usually require multiple ports to be open on the Wireless Cable/DSL Router,

making the rest of your network vulnerable to the Internet. DMZ hosting will symbol-

ically place the designated computer (By IP address) outside of the Wireless Cable/DSL

1. Find out the WAN IP Address of your Wireless Cable/DSL Router from the Status

This will bring up your Wireless Cable/DSL Router menu or password prompt (if

a password has been set.

Port Forwarding

Because the Wireless Cable/DSL Router is acting as a firewall for your network, some

programs may not be able to communicate over the Internet without some additional

configuration. This feature is useful if you want to host a webserver or ftp server on your

private LAN. You will need to open each port that your programs need and specify to a

specific IP (Computer). It is recommended that if you need to open more than 10 ports

at once to use DMZ hosting instead. For a listing of commonly used programs and their

port numbers refer to Appendix C or the Actiontec web site.

Remote Management

The Remote Management feature allows users to access the Wireless Cable/DSL Router

through the Internet. It is recommended that you do not alter the Remote Management

properties. For security reasons, it is disabled by default.

Wireless Access Point and Gateway are on the same network segment. If you are

not sure, let the PC get the IP address automatically by initiating the DHCP func-

tion. Then, verify that your PC is using an IP address within the default range of

192.168.1.2 to 198.168.1.XXX. If your PC is not using an IP address within the

range then it will not be compatible with the Gateway. Finally, the Subnet Mask

must be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the Gateway. In the Gateway you can check

this by clicking on Status on the Wireless Cable/DSL Routers start page.

I am unable to browse through the Wireless Cable/DSL Router.

First, make sure that both ends of the power adapter and network cables are prop-

erly connected and the status LEDs on the front panel are infact working proper-

ly. Then, if you are using Windows 95 or 98, check your computer’s TCP/IP setup:

On your desktop click Start, then select Run, type winpcfg in the given box and

then hit Enter. Your computer should have an IP address of 192.168.XXX (the

“XXX” value could be from 2 to 254.) Also the Subnet Mask should be

255.255.255.0. Then, check the Wireless Cable/DSL Router settings to verify that

they are the same as your computer. You can do this by clicking on Status on the

Wireless Cable/DSL Routers start page.

I get a time out error when I enter a URL or IP Address,

First, verify that all your computers are working properly. Then make sure that all

your IP settings are correct. If you are still having trouble make sure that the

Wireless Cable/DSL Router is on and connected properly. If it is connected prop-

erly open up your web browser and access the Wireless Cable/DSL Router’s start

page. Verify that the Wireless Cable/DSL Router settings are correct by clicking on

Status. If this too is properly configured then check your Cable or DSL modem by

attempting to connect to the Internet.

I am unable to get an IP Address from my Cable or DSL Modem.

First, make sure that your Wireless Cable/DSL Router is properly connected to

your computer and is plugged in. Then, shut off your Cable or DSL modem and

wait a few seconds. Turn it back on, wait for it to go through its self test and then

check for the IP Address. Then, verify that your modem is DHCP compatible. Go

to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router’s web based utility and make sure you entered

the user name and password for either your DSL or Cable modem.

GlossaryGlossary 51

ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier)

You must have the same ESSID entered into the gateway and each of its wireless clients.

The ESSID is a unique identifier for your wireless network.

Ethernet

Ethernet networks are connected by cables and hubs, and move data around. This is a

standard for computer networks.

Firewall

A Firewall prevents anyone outside of your network from accessing your computer and

possibly damaging or viewing your files.

Gateway

A central device that manages all the data traffic of your network, as well as to the

Internet.

IP Address (Internet Protocol)

An IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that identifies a

unique Internet computer host.

ISP Gateway Address (see ISP for definition)

The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router. This address is only

required when using a cable or DSL modem.

ISP (Internet Service Provider)

An ISP is a business that allows individuals or businesses to connect to the Internet.

LAN (Local Area Network)

A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small

area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.

MAC Address (Media Access Control)

A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network.

NAT (Network Address Translation)

Access Point

An access point is a device that allows wireless clients to connect to other wireless clients

and it acts as a bridge between wireless clients and a wired network’ like Ethernet.

Wireless clients can be moved anywhere within the coverage area of the access point and

still connect with eachother. If connected to an Ethernet network, the access point mon-

itors Ethernet traffic and forwards appropriate Ethernet messages to the wireless net-

work, while also monitoring wireless client radio traffic and forwarding wireless client

messages to the Ethernet LAN.

Channel

The home wireless gateway allows you to choose different radio channels in the wireless

spectrum. A gateway operates within the 2.4 GHz spectrum and a channel is within a

FCC specified range, simular to any radio channel.

Client

A client is the desktop or mobile PC that is connected to your network.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

This automatically assigns an IP address for every computer on your network.

DNS Server Address (Domain Name System)

DNS allows Internet host computers to have a domain name and one or more IP

addresses. A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain

names and IP addresses, so that when a user enters a domain name into the internet

browser, the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the

computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has

assigned.

DSL Modem (Digital Subscriber Line)

A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.

Encryption

This provides wireless data transmissions with a level of security.
