To increase your wireless security the SSID Broadcast can be disabled. (Default: Enable)Wireless Mode: Set the communication mode for the Wireless Barricade. (Default: Long Range Mixed (11b+11g))The Long Range Mixed (11b+11g) is an enhanced operation mode. It provides a long range wireless connectivity of 328 feet associated with the IEEE 802.11b standards by offering faster speeds and longer distances from a wireless access point to a wireless PC card.g Nitro: The g Nitro implemented by Intersil’s Prism Nitro technology dramatically enhances your wireless network speeds. It provides up to 30% more throughput in an 11g only environment, and improves network throughput by 3 times in mixed mode. (Default: Enable)Transmission Rate: As the wireless client moves further away from the Wireless Barricade, then the wireless data rate reduces. The transmit data rate from the Wireless Barricade can be fixed or set to Auto. (Default: Auto)Channel: The wireless channel is set in the Wireless Barricade. The wireless PCs will automatically scan the wireless channels to detect and use the same channel as the Wireless Barricade. (Default: 6) Note: The available channel settings are limited by local regulations.

Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router50SecurityIf you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) or Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption. Encryption security requires you to use the same protocol set (WPA or WEP) and encryption/decryption keys for the Wireless Barricade and all of your wireless clients. For a more secure network, the Wireless Barricade can implement one of the following security mechanisms:•Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) page 52•Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) page 54

Advanced Setup51The security mechanisms that may be employed depend on the level of security required, the network and management resources available, and the software support provided on wireless clients. A summary of wireless security considerations is listed in the following table.SecurityMechanismClient SupportImplementation ConsiderationsWEP Built-in support on all 802.11b and 802.11g devices• Provides only weak security• Requires manual key managementWPA mode Requires WPA-enabled system and network card driver(native support provided in Windows XP)• Provides good security in small networks• Requires configured RADIUS server, or manual management of pre-shared key802.1x modeRequires WPA-enabled system and network card driver(native support provided in Windows XP)• Provides robust security in WPA-only mode (i.e., WPA clients only)• Requires configured RADIUS server• 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) type may require management of digital certificates for clients and server

Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router52WPA Encryption Type WPA is a stronger wireless security solution than WEP. It uses a combination of authentication and broadcast/session keys. •Pre-Shared Key/PassphraseIf there is no authentication server on your SOHO network, you can issue the Pre-Shared Key to the clients that connect to the Wireless Barricade. Be sure to use the same key for the Wireless Barricade and the connected clients.Notes: 1. Manual Pre-Shared Key supports up to 64-Hex characters. 2. Type 8~63 Hex characters for the Pre-Shared Passphrase.

Advanced Setup53 3. Do not use a key that is long and complex for your clients to type accurately, as you might forget it. 4. A Hex (hexadecimal) digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F.•802.1X Mode The Wireless Barricade allows you to use 802.1x authentication for an enterprise network environment with a RADIUS server installed. In 802.1x mode, access will be checked against the authentication database stored on the Wireless Barricade. You must specify the authentication period, and the corresponding parameters in the RADIUS Server Parameters field for the remote authentication protocol.

Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router54WEP Encryption Type You can choose between standard 40/64-bit or the more robust 128-bit encryption. To manually configure the keys, select the WEP Encryption Type option from the drop down menu. For 40/64-bit encryption enter 5 hexadecimal pairs for each key. For 128-bit encryption enter 13 hexadecimal pairs for each key.

Advanced Setup55To generate the keys automatically, select the Passphrase option from the drop down menu. For 40/64-bit encryption, 4 keys will be generated. For 128-bit encryption, 1 key is generated and repeated for the 4 keys. The Active Transmit Key determines which key is used to encrypt the transmit data. SMC recommend that you change the Active Transmit key at regular intervals to maintain the security of your wireless network.Note: Active ASCII Keys must be exactly 5 characters for 40/64-bit WEP.Active ASCII Keys must be exactly 13 characters for 128-bit WEP. If you use encryption, configure the same keys used for the Wireless Barricade on each of your wireless clients. Note that Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.

Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router56NAT - Network Address TranslationFrom this section you can configure the Address Mapping, Virtual Server, and Special Application features that provide control over the TCP/UDP port openings in the router’s firewall. This section can be used to support several Internet based applications such as web, email, FTP, and Telnet.Address MappingAllows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal users. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into the Global IP field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the global IP.

Advanced Setup57Virtual ServerIf you configure the Wireless Barricade as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the Wireless Barricade redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by just entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them.The more common TCP service ports include:HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110

Verify that Category 5 cable is used if you are operating at 100 Mbps, and that the length of any cable does not exceed 100 m (328 ft).

Troubleshooting784. Check the network card connections.5. The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port, network card, or cable may be defective.E. If wireless clients cannot access the network, check the following:1. Be sure the Wireless Barricade and the wireless clients are configured with the same Service Set ID (SSID).2. If authentication or encryption are enabled, ensure that the wireless clients are properly configured with the appropriate authentication or encryption keys.3. If authentication is being performed through a RADIUS server, ensure that the clients are properly configured on the RADIUS server.4. If authentication is being performed through IEEE 802.1x, be sure the wireless users have installed and properly configured 802.1x client software.5. If MAC address filtering is enabled, be sure the client’s address is included in the local filtering database.6. If the wireless clients are roaming between Wireless Barricade, make sure that all the access points and wireless devices in the Extended Service Set (ESS) are configured to the same SSID, and authentication method.

Troubleshooting79F. If you forgot or lost the password:Set the Wireless Barricade to its default configuration by pressing the reset button on the back panel for 10 seconds or more. There is no password by default.G. If all other recovery measures fail, and the Wireless Barricade is still not functioning properly, take any of these steps:1. Reset the Wireless Barricade’s hardware using the web interface, or through a power reset.2. Reset the Wireless Barricade to its default configuration by pressing the reset button on the back panel for 10 seconds or more. Then click LOGIN to access the management interface.
