83 Security Packet Filter Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specified internal/external users (IP address) from Internet access, or you can disable specific service requests (Port number) to /from Internet. The relationship among all filters is “or” operation, which means that the router checks these different filter rules one by one, starting from the first rule. As long as one of the rules is satisfied, the specified action will be taken. Above is the listing table. Click Add to add new configurations. Filter name: a user-defined filter name or you can select from the drop-down menu the application, and leave the automatically generated name as the Filter name. IP Version: Select the IP Version， IPv4 or IPv6. Internal IP Address / External IP Address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic to/from particular IP address (es). Input the range you want to filter out. If you leave empty, it means any IP address. Protocol: Specify the packet type (TCP/UDP，TCP, UDP, ICMP, RAW and Any) that the rule applies
84 to. Only when RAW is selected, then you can type the protocol number (0-254) to identify the protocol that you want the filter applies to. When Any is selected, it means the filter will applies to any protocol. Internal Port: This Port or Port Range defines the ports allowed to be used by the Remote/WAN to connect to the application. Default is set from range 1 ~ 65535. It is recommended that this option be configured by an advanced user. External Port: This is the Port or Port Range that defines the application. Default is set from range 1 ~ 65535. Action: If a packet matches this filter rule, forward (allows the packets to pass) or drop (disallow the packets to pass) this packet. Direction: Determine whether the rule is for outgoing packets or for incoming packets. Set up Select the application you want to filter, input the information or leave it as default according to yourself. Press Apply to confirm and the item will be listed in the following table.
85 Remove Check the checkbox, press Remove, the item will be removed. Reorder When there are more than one Filter application, you can reorder them to the priority you want. The former is prior to the latter one. Click or to change the priority of the filter, then press to confirm.
86 Parental Control Time Restriction A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure the network to block specific machines from accessing your LAN during the specified time. Action: L Disable: disable the Time Restriction function. L Allow: allow the members in the following table to access the router. L Block: block the members listed in the following table from accessing the router. Note: here users should add the rules first, then select the wanted action. Click Add to add the rules. Username: user-defined name. MAC Address: enter the MAC address(es) you want to allow or block to access the router and LAN. The format of MAC address could be: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. Days of the week: select the days of a week this rule takes efforts.
87 Start Time: enter the start time of each day in hh:mm format. Leaving it empty means 00:00. End Time: enter the end time of each day in hh:mm format. Leaving it empty means 23:59. Click Apply to confirm your settings. The following prompt window will appear to remind you of the attention. If you needn’t this rule, you can check the box, press Remove, it will be OK. URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http://www.example.com) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites by their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements. URL Filtering: select to enable or disable URL Filtering feature.
88 Keywords Filtering: Allow blocking against specific keywords within a particular URL rather than having to specify a complete URL (e.g.to block any image called “advertisement.gif”). When enabled, your specified keywords list will be checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Please note that the URL filter blocks web browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only. Domains Filtering: This function checks the whole URL address but not the IP address against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will either be sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). Restrict URL Features: Click Block Java Applet to filter web access with Java Applet components. Click Block ActiveX to filter web access with ActiveX components. Click Block Cookie to filter web access with Cookie components. Click Block Proxy to filter web proxy access. Exception IP Address: You can input a list of IP addresses as the exception list for URL filtering. Log: Select Enable for this option if you will like to capture the logs for this URL filter policy. Keywords Filtering Click to add the keywords. Enter the Keyword, for example image, then click Add. You can add other keyword like this. The keywords you add will be listed as above.

At the URL Filter page, press Apply to confirm your settings.
90 QoS - Quality of Service QoS helps you to control the data upload traffic of each application from LAN (Ethernet) to WAN (Internet). It facilitates you the features to control the quality and speed of throughput for each application when the system is running with full upstream load. Quality of Service: Check to activate this function and the following field will be available. If Enable QoS checkbox is selected, choose a default DSCP mark to automatically mark incoming traffic without reference to a particular classifier. If Enable Qos checkbox is not selected, all QoS will be disabled for all interfaces. Select Default DSCP Mark: Select the default DSCP mark from the list-box. Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte. DSCP Mark allows users to classify the traffic of the application to be executed according to the DSCP value. The default DSCP mark is used to mark all egress packets that do not match any classification rules. Note: Before configuring Queue config and QoS Classification section, you must enable QoS function, for the reason that the queues’ activation will depend on this, the classification will also depend on this. The corresponding IP precedence and DSCP mapping table is listed below.
91 IP Precedence and DSCP Mapping Table Mapping Table Default (000000) Best EffortEF(101110) Expedited Forwarding AF11 (001010) Assured Forwarding Class1(L) AF12 (001100) Assured Forwarding Class1(M) AF13 (001110) Assured Forwarding Class1(H) AF21 (010010) Assured Forwarding Class1(L) AF22 (010100) Assured Forwarding Class1(M) AF23 (010110) Assured Forwarding Class1(H) AF31 (011010) Assured Forwarding Class1(L) AF32 (011100) Assured Forwarding Class1(M) AF33 (011110) Assured Forwarding Class1(H) AF41 (100010) Assured Forwarding Class1(L) AF42 (100100) Assured Forwarding Class1(M) AF43 (100110) Assured Forwarding Class1(H) CS1(001000) Class Selector(IP precedence)1 CS2(010000) Class Selector(IP precedence) 2 CS3(011000) Class Selector(IP precedence)3 CS4(100000) Class Selector(IP precedence) 4 CS5(101000) Class Selector(IP precedence) 5 CS6(110000) Class Selector(IP precedence) 6 CS7(111000) Class Selector(IP precedence) 7 DSCP indicates three kinds of service, Class Selector (CS), Assured Forwarding (AF) and Expedited Forwarding (EF). AF1, AF2, AF3 and AF4 are four kinds of assured forwarding services. Each AF has three different packet loss priorities from high, medium, to low. Also, CS1-CS7 indicates the IP precedence. Click Apply to confirm the settings.
92 Queue Config Queue is a technology of managing congestion providing precautions with the packets storing and scheduling. Queue Config allows you to configure a QoS queue entry and assign it to a specific network interface. Each queue entry set here will be used by the classfier to place ingress packets appropriately. Note: the interface set in the WAN> WAN Interface will be list as Default Queue here, and the parameters listed above can be configured there. For detail, please turn to WAN > WAN Interface section for help. You can also add other queues to the ATM and PTM interfaces despite of the default queue. And Wireless Service queue will be enabled by default if you enable wireless. Also if you enable virtual APs, the corresponding WMM service queues will be enabled as well. Name: the queue name. Key: the item number. Interface: the queue interface. Scheduler Algorithm: the QoS Scheduler Algorithm, SP(Strict Priority) or WFQ(Weight Fair Queuing) Precedence: the priority identification. Weight: the weight value, 1-63. the highest is 63. PTM Priority: the PTM priority, normal or high. Enable: check the enable check-box, then press Enable to activate the queue. If you want to disable this queue, you can uncheck the corresponding check-box and press Enable, the queue will be disabled. If the queue is enabled, you will see a tick, like . Otherwise, the queue is disabled.

Note: only the queue added via the above mode can be directly removed here, the default queue can’t be removed here, if you want to remove them, remove the interface in WAN > WAN Interface section. Note: In ATM mode, maximum queues can be configured: 16 In PTM mode, maximum queues can be configured: 8 For each Ethernet interface, maximum queues can be configured: 4 If you disable WMM function in Wireless Page, queues related to wireless will not take effects.
95 QoS Classification This screen displays a packet QoS summary table and allows user to add or remove a QoS classification class. This is the main place to configure the classification, marking and queuing rules. Click Add to add Network Traffic Class Rule.
96 The classification rule is a ‘AND’ mode, that is a rule takes effect only when all of the specified conditions must be satisfied. Parameters Traffic Class Name: Assign a name for this class to uniquely identify the others among multiple classes. Rule Order: Select the priority for this class rule. Rule Status: Select Enable to activate this class rule. Specify Classification Criteria The following parameters are to be classification rule. Enter or select appropriate parameters on the following fields. A blank criterion indicates it is not used for classification. Class Interface: select the interface you want to be the one aspect of the classification criteria. Here ”LAN->WAN” and ”WAN->LAN” can be viewed as IP QoS, the others can be viewed as ported-based QoS, which means that control the QoS of certain port such. For example, if you select P1 port, then criteria applies to this port, that is ported-based QoS. Entry Type: select the application type. Source/destination MAC Address: enter the source and destination MAC address as the QoS Classification Criteria. The format should be xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. Source/destination MAC Mask: MAC mask is similar to IP mask, and the format also should be xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. It is used to hide some information of the MAC address. ‘1’, means needed and ‘0’ means ignored. For example, MAC address e0:3b:4a:c2:ca:e2 and MAC mask ff:ff:ff:00:00:00, that is whatever MAC address while matches e0:3b:4a:XX:XX:XX, will be accepted. Specify Classification Results Enter or select appropriate parameters you want for the packets matched the above classification criteria in the following fields. You have to choose a classification queue. A blank mark or tag value means no change. Assign Classification Queue: assign classification queue from the drop-down box. If you want to select the queue, you should make sure the specific queue is enabled in Queue Config section. Mark Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP): select the DSCP you want to be the new DSCP for the packets which matched the above classification criteria. Mark 802.1p priority: it is a LAN Layer 2 QoS/CoS Protocol for Traffic Prioritization. It is interoperable with IEEE 802.1Q. 802.1p has 8 kinds of priority. Tag VLAN ID: enter the tag VLAN ID, 0-4094, used to determine the VLAN the frame belongs to. Rate Type: You can choose Limited or Guaranteed. Ratio: The rate percent in contrast to that on WAN interface. Note: 802.1p/vlan tag feature be supported only when in bridge mode, DSL WAN interface. Click Apply to confirm the settings and you will be returned to the QoS Classification page. Enable: To disable the item, please uncheck Enable check box then click Enable button.

And select a Default IPv6 Gateway from the drop-down menu. Note: Only one default gateway interface will be used according to the priority with the first being the highest and the last one the lowest priority if the WAN interface is connected.
105 Static Route With static route feature, you are equipped with the capability to control the routing of the all the traffic across your network. With each routing rule created, you can specifically assign the destination where the traffic will be routed to. Above is the static route listing table, click Add to create static routing. IP Version: select the IP version, IPv4 or IPv6. Destination IP Address / Prefix Length: enter the destination IP address and the prefix length. For IPv4, the prefix length means the number of ‘1’ in the submask, it is another mode of presenting submask. One IPv4 address,192.168.1.0/24, submask is 255.255.255.0. While in IPv6, IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID, the prefix is like the net ID in IPv4, and the interface ID is like the host ID in IPv4. The prefix length is to identify the net ID in the address. One IPv6 address, 3FFE:FFFF:0:CD30:0:0:0:0 / 64, the prefix is 3FFE:FFFF:0:CD3. Interface: select an interface this route associated. Gateway IP Address: enter the gateway IP address. Metric: Metric is a policy for router to commit router, to determine the optimal route. Enter one number greater than or equal to 0. Click Apply to apply this route and it will be listed in the route listing table.
106 In listing table you can remove the one you don’t want by checking the checking box and press Remove button.
107 Policy Routing Here users can set a route for the host (source IP) in a LAN interface to access outside through a specified Default Gateway or a WAN interface. The following is the policy Routing listing table. Click Add to create a policy route. Policy Name: user-defined name. Physical LAN Port: select the LAN port. Source IP: enter the Host Source IP. Interface: select the WAN interface which you want the Source IP to access outside through. Default Gateway: enter the default gateway which you want the Source IP to access outside through. Click Apply to apply your settings. And the item will be listed in the policy Routing listing table. Here if you want to remove the route, check the remove checkbox and press Remove to delete it.
108 RIP RIP, Router Information Protocol, is a simple Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP). RIP has two versions, RIP-1 and RIP-2. Interface: the interface the rule applies to.

L Passive: only receive the routing information broadcasted by other routers and modifies its routing table according to the received information. L Active: working in this mode, the router sends and receives RIP routing information and modifies routing table according to the received information. Enable: check the checkbox to enable RIP rule for the interface. Note: RIP can not be configured on the WAN interface which has NAT enabled (such as PPPoE). Click Apply to apply your settings.
109 DNS DNS, Domain Name System, is a distributed database of TCP/IP application. DNS provides translation of Domain name to IP. IPv6 DNS Server IPv6 DNS Server’s operation is similar to IPv4 DNS server. There are two modes to get DNS server address: Auto and Static mode. Obtain IPv6 DNS info from a WAN interface WAN Interface selected: select one configured IPv6 WAN connection from the drop-down menu to be as an IPv6 DNS. Use the following Static IPv6 DNS address Primary IPv6 DNS Server / Secondary IPv6 DNS Server: type the specific primary and secondary IPv6 DNS Server address.
110 Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes fromtime to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP. You will first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/ Dynamic DNS: L Disable: Check to disable the Dynamic DNS function. L Enable: Check to enable the Dynamic DNS function. The following fields will be activated and required. Wildcard: When enabled, you allow the system to lookup on domain names that do not exist to have MX records synthesized for them. Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with. Domain Name, Username and Password: Enter your registered domain name and your username and password for this service. Period: Set the time period between updates, for the Router to exchange information with the DDNS server. In addition to updating periodically as per your settings, the router will perform an update when your dynamic IP address changes
111 DSL This screen allows you to set DSL parameters. DSL knowledge is required to configure these settings. Contact your ISP to make sure that these parameters are correct. Modulation: There are 7 modes “G.Dmt”, “G.lite”, “T1.413”, “ADSL2”, “AnnexL”, ”ADSL2+”, “AnnexM” that user can select for this connection. Phone line pair: This is for reserved only. You can choose "Inner Pair" or "Outer Pair". Capability: There are 2 options “Bitswap Enable” and “SRA Enable” that user can select for this connection. L Bitswap Enable: Allows bitswaping function. L SRA Enable: Allows seamless rate adaptation. Click Apply to confirm the settings. Click to future configure DSL. Select the Test Mode, or leave it as default. Tone Selection: suggesting you to leave it as default or let it configured by an advanced user. The frequency band of ADSL is split up into 256 separate tones, each spaced 4.3125 kHz apart.
112 With each tone carrying separate data, the technique operates as if 256 separate modems were running in parallel. The tone range is from 0 to 31 for upstream and from 32 to 255 for downstream。
113 UPnP UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device. Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition to the router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when the component is installed), and Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing client from Windows XP in order to support UPnP.

121 Interface Grouping Interface grouping is a function to group interfaces, known as VLAN. A Virtual LAN, commonly known as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with the common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of the physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, but it allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not located on the same network switch. Click Add to add groups. But note that the maximum number can be 16.
122 Group Name: type a group name. WAN interface used in the grouping: select from the drop-down box the WAN interface you want to applied in the group. Grouped LAN Interfaces: select the LAN interfaces you want to group as a single group from Available LAN Interfaces. Automatically Add Clients With following DHCP Vendor IDs: enter the DHCP Vendor IDs for which you want the Clients automatically added into the group. DHCP vendor ID (DHCP 60) is an Authentication for DHCP Messages. Click Apply to confirm your settings and your added group will be listed in the Interface Grouping table below. If you want to remove the group, check the box as the following and press Remove. Note: If you like to automatically add LAN clients to a WAN Interface in the new group add the DHCP vendor ID string. By configuring a DHCP vendor ID string any DHCP client request with the specified vendor ID (DHCP option 60) will be denied an IP address from the local DHCP server. If a vendor ID is configured for a specific client device, please REBOOT the client device attached to the modem to allow it to obtain an appropriate IP address. Each LAN interface can only be added into one group and one WAN interface can only be used in one group.
123 Certificate This feature is used for TR069 ACS Server authentication of the device used certificate, if necessary. If the imported certificate doesn't match the authorized certificate of the ACS Server, the device will have no access to the server. Certificate Name: the certificate identification name. Subject: the certificate subject. Type: the certificate type information. "ca", indicates that the certificate is a CA-signed certificate. "self", indicates that the certificate is a certificate owner signed one. "x.509", indicates the certificate is the one created and signed according to the definition of Public-Key System suggested by x.509. Action: View: view the certificate. Remove: remove the certificate.
124 Click Import Certificate button to import your certificate. Enter the certificate name and insert the certificate.
125 Click Apply to confirm your settings.
126 Multicast Multicast is one of the three network transmission modes, Unicast, Multicast, Broadcast. It is a transmission mode that supports point-to-multipoint connections between the sender and the recipient. IGMP protocol is used to establish and maintain the relationship between IP host and the host directly connected multicast router. IGMP stands for Internet Group Management Protocol is a communications protocols used to manage the membership of Internet Protocol multicast groups. IGMP is used by IP hosts and the adjacent multicast routers to establish multicast group members. There are three versions for IGMP, that is IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3. MLD, short for Multicast Listener Discovery protocol, is a component if the Internet Protocol version 6(IPv6) suite. MLD is used by IPv6 to discover multicast listeners on a directly attached link, much as IGMP used in IPv4. The protocol is embedded in ICMPv6 instead of using a separate protocol. MLDv1 is similar to IGMPv2 and MLDv2 is similar to IGMPv3.
127 IGMP Default Version: enter the supported IGMP version, 1-3, default is IGMP v3. Query Interval: enter the periodic query interval time (sec) the multicast router sending the query message to hosts to understand the group membership information. Query Response Interval: enter the response interval time (sec). Last Member Query Interval: enter the interval time (sec) the multicast router query the specified group after it has received leave message. Robustness Value: enter the router robustness parameter, 2-7, the greater the robustness value, the more robust the Querier is. Maximum Multicast Groups: enter the Maximum Multicast Groups. Maximum Multicast Data Sources( for IGMP v3): enter the Maximum Multicast Data Sources,1-24. Maximum Multicast Group Members: enter the Maximum Multicast Group Members. Fast leave: check to determine whether to support fast leave. If this value is enabled, IGMP proxy removes the membership of a group member immediately without sending an IGMP membership query on downstream. This is very helpful if user wants fast channel (group change) changing in cases like IPTV environment. LAN to LAN (Intra LAN) Multicast: check to determine whether to support LAN to LAN (Intra LAN) Multicast. If user want to have a multicast data source on LAN side and he want to get IGMP snooping enabled, then this LAN-to-LAN multicast feature should be enabled. MLD Default Version: enter the supported MLD version, 1-2, default is MLDv2. Query Interval: enter the periodic query interval time (sec) the multicast router sending the query message to hosts to understand the group membership information. Query Response Interval: enter the response interval time (sec). Last Member Query Interval: enter the interval time (sec) the multicast router query the specified group after it has received leave message. Robustness Value: enter the router robustness parameter, default is 2, the greater the robustness value, the more robust the Querier is. Maximum Multicast Groups: enter the Maximum Multicast Groups.

128 Wireless This section provides you ways to configure wireless access. When you click this item, the column will expand to display the sub-items that will lead you to configure your router. Basic, Secturity, MAC Filter, Wireless Bridge, Advanced and Station Info are included here.
129 Basic It let you determine whether to enable Wireless function and set the basic parameters of an AP and the Virtual APs. Wireless: Default setting is set to Enable. If you do not have any wireless devices, check the checkbox again to unselect. Hide SSID: It is function in which transmits its SSID to the air so that when wireless client searches for a network, router can then be discovered and recognized. Check the checkbox to determine whether you want to hide SSID. Clients Isolation: if you enabled this function, then each of your wireless clients will not be communicate with each other. Disable WMM Advertise: Stop the router from ‘advertising’ its Wireless Multimedia (WMM) functionality, which provides basic quality of service for time-sensitive applications (e.g. VoIP, Video). Check to disable or enable this function. Wireless multicast Forwarding (WMF): check to enable or disable wireless multicast forwarding. SSID: The SSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguished from another. For security purpose, change the default wlan-ap to a unique ID name to the AP already built-in to the router’s wireless interface. It is case sensitive and must not excess 32 characters. Make sure your wireless clients have exactly the SSID as the device, in order to get connected to your network. Note: SSID is case sensitive and must not excess 32 characters. BSSID: Basic Set Service Identifier, it is a local managed IEEE MAC address, and is 48 bits value. Country: Different countries have different wireless band resources, so you can select the appropriate Country according to the area where you want to device used. Max Clients: enter the number of max clients the wireless network can supports,1-16. Max-Guest/virtual Access points: A “Virtual Access Point” is a logical entity that exists within a
130 physical Access Point (AP). When a single physical AP supports multiple “Virtual APs”, each Virtual AP appears to stations (STAs) to be an independent physical AP, even though only a single physical AP is present. For example, multiple Virtual APs might exist within a single physical AP, each advertising a distinct SSID and capability set. Alternatively, multiple Virtual APs might advertise the same SSID but a different capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA simultaneously. Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with separate authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information, without sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers. You can enable the virtual AP. Here you can enable some Virtual APs according to the request. And the other parameters of virtual APs are the same to the above. Click Apply to apply your settings.

146 Wireless Bridge WDS (wireless distributed system) is a wireless access point mode that enables wireless link and communication with other access point. It is easy to be installed, simply define the peer’s MAC address of the connected AP. WDS takes advantages of cost saving and flexibility which no extra wireless client device is required to bridge between two access points and extending an existing wired or wireless infrastructure network to create a larger network. Here you can select to decide what role the AP servers as, AP or wireless bridge (WDS). AP Mode: determines whether the gateway will act as an Access point or as a Bridge. L Access Point: the gateway communicates with both clients and bridges. L Wireless Bridge: the gateway communicates with other WDS devices only. In this mode, the gateway doesn’t communicate with client devices. If your wireless network includes repeaters that use WDS, the gateway in wireless bridge mode will also communicate with your repeaters. The gateway in wireless bridge mode will not communicate with a repeater that uses a proprietary (non-WDS) mode. Bridge Restrict: When AP Mode is set to Wireless Bridge, this determines whether the gateway will communicate with all other bridges or only specific ones: L Enable: to enable wireless bridge restriction. Only those specified in the Remote MAC Address the gateway can communicate with. Remote Bridge MAC Address: enter the remote bridge MAC addresses. Here up to 4 bridge MAC addresses are supported.
147 L Enabled (Scan): to enable wireless bridge restriction. Only those been scanned the gateway can communicate with. Remote Bridge MAC Address: select the remote bridge MAC addresses. L Disable: Does not restrict the gateway to communicating with bridges that have their MAC address listed, but it is still open to communicate with all bridges that are in the same network. Click Apply to apply your settings.
148 Advanced Here users can set some advanced parameters about wireless. Band: select frequency band. Here 2.4GHZ. Channel: Allows channel selection of a specific channel (1-7) or Auto mode. Auto Channel Timer(min): the auto channel times length it takes to scan in minutes. Only available for auto channel mode. 802.11n/EWC: select to auto enable or disable 802.11n. Bandwidth: Select bandwidth. The higher the bandwidth the better the performance will be. Control Sideband: only available for 40MHz. It allows you to select upper sideband or lower sideband. Sideband refers to the frequency band either above (upper sideband) or below (lower sideband) the carrier frequency, within which fall the spectral components produced by modulation of a carrier wave. 802.11n Rate: It allows you to select the fixed transmission rate or auto.
149 802.11n Protection: turn off for maximized throughput. Auto for greater security. Support 802.11n Client Only: turn on the option is to only provide wireless access to the clients operating at 802.11n speeds. RIFS Advertisement: Reduced Inter-frame Spacing (RIFS) is a 802.11n feature that also improves performance by reducing the amount of dead time required between OFDM transmissions. Select Off to disable this function or auto to enable this function. OBSS Co-Existance: coexistence (or not) between 20 MHZ and 40 MHZ overlapping basic service sets (OBSS) in wireless local area networks. Multicast Rate: Setting for multicast packets transmission rate. Basic Rate: Setting for basic transmission rate. It is not a certain kind of rate, it is a series of rates supported. When set to Default, the router can transmit with all kinds of standardized rates. Fragmentation Threshold: A threshold (in bytes) whether the packets will be fragmented and at what size. Packets succeeding the fragmentation threshold of 802.11n WLAN will be split into smaller units suitable for circuit size. While the packets smaller than fragmentation threshold will not be fragmented. Default is 2346, setting the fragmentation too low may result in poor performance. RTS Threshold: Request to Send (RTS) threshold specifies the packet size, when exceeds the size, the RTS/CTS will be triggered. The default setting of 2347(max length) will disable the RTS. DTIM Interval: Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). The entry range is a value between 1 and 255. A DTIM is countdown variable that informs clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM interval value. AP clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default is 1. Beacon Interval: The amount of time between beacon transmissions in is milliseconds. The default is 100ms and the acceptable is 1- 65535. The beacon transmissions identify the presence of an access point. Global Max Clients: Here you have the option of setting the limit of the number of clients who can connect to your wireless network. XPress™ Technology: It has been designed to improve the wireless network efficiency. Default is disabled. Regulatory Mode: select to deny any regulatory mode. There are two regulatory modes: 802.11h: The standard solves interference problems with e.g. satellites and radar using the same 5 GHz band as 802.11a or 802.11n dual-band access points. 802.11d: This standard automatically adjusts its allowed frequencies, power levels and bandwidth accordingly to the country it's located in. This means that manufacturers don't need to make country specific products. Transmit Power: select the transmitting power of your wireless signal. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia): you can choose to enable or disable this function which allows for priority of certain data over wireless network. WMM No Acknowledgement: Refers to the acknowledge policy at the MAC level.

154 SNMP Agent SNMP, Simple Network Management Protocol, is the most popular one in network. It consists of SNMP Manager，SNMP Agent and MIB. Every network device supporting SNMP will have a SNMP Agent which is a management software running in the device. SNMP Manager, the management software running the server, is to use SNMP protocol to send GetRequest、GetNextRequest, SetRequest message to Agent to view and change the information of the device. SNMP Agents, the management software running in the device, accepts the message from the manager, Reads or Writes the management variable in MIB accordingly and then generates Response message to send it to the manager. Also, agent will send Trap message to the manager when agent finds some exceptions. Trap message, is the message automatically sent by the managed device without request to the manager about the emergency events. SNMP Agent: enable or disable SNMP Agent. WAN Access: enable or disable WAN access which allows PCs in WAN side read or set the SNMP related MIB pamareters. Read Community: Type the Get Community, which is the authentication for the incoming Get-and GetNext requests from the management station.

System Location: user-defined location. System Contact: user-defined contact message. Trap manager IP: enter the IP address of the server receiving the trap sent by SNMP agent.
155 TR- 069 Client TR-069 (short for Technical Report 069) is a DSL Forum (which was later renamed as Broadband Forum) technical specification entitled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices. It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices. As a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP based protocol it can provides the communication between customer premises equipment (CPE) and Auto Configuration Server (ACS). It includes both a safe configuration and the control of other CPE management functions within an integrated framework. In the course of the booming broadband market, the number of different internet access possibilities grew as well (e.g. modems, routers, gateways, set-top box, VoIP-phones).At the same time the configuration of this equipment became more complicated –too complicated for end-users. For this reason, TR-069 was developed. It provides the possibility of auto configuration of the access types. Using TR-069 the terminals can get in contact with the Auto Configuration Servers (ACS) and establish the configuration automatically and let ACS configure CPE automatically. Inform: select enable to let CPE be authorized to send Inform message to automatically connect to ACS.

165 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting If your router is not functioning properly, please refer to the suggested solutions provided in this chapter. If your problems persist or the suggested solutions do not meet your needs, please kindly contact your service provider or Billion for support. Problems with the router Problem Suggested Action None of the LEDs is on when you turn on the router Check the connection between the router and the adapter. If the problem persists, most likely it is due to the malfunction of your hardware. Please contact your service provider or Billion for technical support.You have forgotten your login username or password Try the default username "admin" and password "admin". If this fails, you can restore your router to its factory settings by pressing the reset button on the device rear side. Problems with WAN interface Problem Suggested Action Frequent loss of ADSL line sync (disconnections) Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections. If you have a back-to-base alarm system you should contact your security provider for a technician to make any necessary changes.
166 Problem with LAN interface Problem Suggested Action Cannot PING any PC on LAN Check the Ethernet LEDs on the front panel. The LED should be on for the port that has a PC connected. If it does not lit, check to see if the cable between your router and the PC is properly connected. Make sure you have first uninstalled your firewall program before troubleshooting. Verify that the IP address and the subnet mask are consistent for both the router and the workstations.
