SOHOSpeed Overview
Your SOHOSpeed has many ports, switches and LEDs. The features are listed below.
2.1
Ports and Buttons
(4 Ports Wireless Gateway)
(4 Ports Ethernet Gateway)
RESET: The RESET button will set the SOHOSpeed to its factory default setting and reset
the SOHOSpeed. You may need to place the SOHOSpeed into its factory defaults if the
configuration is changed, you loose the ability to enter the SOHOSpeed via the web interface,
or following a software upgrade, and you loose the ability to enter the SOHOSpeed. To reset
the SOHOSpeed, simply press the reset button for more than 10 seconds. The SOHOSpeed
will be reset to its factory defaults and after about 30 seconds the SOHOSpeed will become
operational again.
POWER: Connect the power adapter that came the SOHOSpeed. Using a power supply with
a different voltage rating will damage this product. Make sure to observe the proper power
requirements. The power requirement is 12 volts.
LAN (local area network) port(s): Connect to Ethernet network devices, such as a PC, hub,
switch, or router.
USB (universal serial port): Connects this port to a PC’s USB port. The SOHOSpeed only

SOHOSpeed ADSL2/2+ Ethernet/Wireless Gateway User’s Manual
3.
Setting up Your SOHOSpeed
This section guides you through configuring your SOHOSpeed. The SOHOSpeed is shipped
with a standard default bridge configuration. Most users would want to change the
SOHOSpeed from a bridge to a router.
Before setting up your SOHOSpeed, make sure you have followed the Quick Start Guide.
You should have your computers configured for DHCP mode and have proxies disabled on
your browser. If you access the router using your web browser and see a log-in redirection
page instead of the Log In page, check your browser’s settings to verify that JavaScript is
enabled. Also, if you do not get the page as shown below, you may need to delete your
temporary Internet files by flushing the cached web pages.
3.1
Log into Your SOHOSpeed
Use the following procedures to log in to your SOHOSpeed.
1.
Open your web browser.
You may get an error message. This is normal. Continue on to the next step.
2.
Type the default IP address of the SOHOSpeed 192.168.1.1 and press Enter.
The Log In page appears.
3.
Enter the following information:
z User Name: Admin
z Password: Admin
Note: Both fields are case-sensitive. Admin is the default value. The login name and
password can be changed later on using the Tools/User Management menu options.
4.
Click Log In.
The main page appears.
SOHOSpeed ADSL2/2+ Ethernet/Wireless Gateway User’s Manual
3.2
Home Page
The first page is the Home page. From this page you can perform the following tasks:
z Setup the SOHOSpeed (configure the LAN and WAN connection(s).
z Configure the advanced configuration options within the SOHOSpeed (security, routing,
and filtering).
z Obtain the status of the SOHOSpeed.
z View the extensive online help.
The basic layout of the Home page consists of a page selection list across the top of the
browser window. The lower center part of the page displays the SOHOSpeed status,
connection information, and other useful information. The center part of the display provides
descriptions of the options supported on the other web interface pages.
10
SOHOSpeed ADSL2/2+ Ethernet/Wireless Gateway User’s Manual
3.3
Setup
To setup your SOHOSpeed with a basic configuration, from the Main page, select Setup. The
figure below illustrates the Setup page. The page is divided into two subsections: the LAN
Setup and the WAN Setup.
Before configuring the SOHOSpeed, there are several concepts that you should be familiar
with on how your new SOHOSpeed works. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with
these concepts, as it should make the configuration much easier.
3.3.1 Wide Area Network (WAN) Connection
On one side of the SOHOSpeed is the WAN interface, also referred to as a broadband
connection. This WAN connection is different for every WAN service provider. Most of the
configuration you perform is for the WAN connection.
3.3.2 Local Area Network (LAN) Connection
On the other side of the SOHOSpeed are LAN interfaces. This is where local hosts are
connected. The SOHOSpeed is normally configured to automatically provide all the hosts on
the LAN network with IP addresses.
11
SOHOSpeed ADSL2/2+ Ethernet/Wireless Gateway User’s Manual
3.4
Configuring the WAN
Before the SOHOSpeed passes any data between the LAN interfaces and the WAN interface,
the WAN side of the SOHOSpeed must be configured.
You need some (or all) of the information outlined below before you can properly configure
the WAN:
z Your DSL line virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI)
z Your DSL encapsulation type and multiplexing
z Your DSL training mode (default is MultiMode)
For PPPoA or PPPoE users, you also need these values from your ISP:
z Your username and password
For RFC 2684 Static connections, you may need these values from your ISP:
z Your fixed WAN IP address
z Your subnet mask
z Your default gateway
z A set of three DNS IP addresses
Since multiple users can use the SOHOSpeed, the SOHOSpeed can simultaneously support
multiple connection types; hence, you must set up different profiles for each connection. The
SOHOSpeed supports the following protocols:
z RFC 2516 PPPoE
z RFC 2364 PPPoA
z RFC 2684 Static
z Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)
z Bridged
z RFC 2225 classical IP over ATM (CLIP)
You can create up to eight WAN connections.
3.4.1 Setup a WAN Connection (New Connection)
A new WAN connection is a virtual connection over the physical DSL connection. Your
SOHOSpeed can support up to eight different (unique) virtual connections. If you have
multiple different virtual connections, you may need to use the static and dynamic routing
capabilities of the SOHOSpeed to pass data correctly.
Before you make a new WAN connection, you should make sure you have an available DSL
connection.
PPPoE
PPP, or point-to-point protocol, is a method of establishing a network connection/session
between network hosts. PPPoE is a protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet
frames and is described in RFC 2516.
PPPoE provides the ability to connect to a network of hosts over a simple bridging access
device to a remote access concentrator. With this model, each SOHOSpeed uses its own
PPP stack. Access control, billing, and type of service control can all be done on a per-user
rather than per-site basis.
The default New Connection Setup page, which defaults to the PPPoE Connection Setup
page. Notice this page can be logically divided into three sections:
z Section A includes settings specific to the connection type
z Section B (VLAN settings)
z Section C (PVC settings) remains the same for all six connection types.
For other connection types, we will focus on the fields in Section A.
12
SOHOSpeed ADSL2/2+ Ethernet/Wireless Gateway User’s Manual
1.
At the Setup main page, click New Connection.
The default PPPoE Connection Setup page is displayed.
2.
In the Name field, enter a unique name for the PPPoE connection.
The name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In this example, the
unique name is PPPoE.
3.
The Network Address Translation (NAT) and the Firewall options are enabled by
default. Leave these in the default mode.
Note: NAT enables the IP address on the LAN side to be translated to IP address on the
WAN side. If NAT is disabled, you cannot access the Internet.
4.
If you want to enable VLAN, refer to the table below to configure the following fields:
z Sharing: Select VLAN to enable the VLAN ID and Priority Bits fields.
z VLAN ID: Enter the VLAN ID.
z Priority Bits: Select the priority bits of the VLAN.
5.
6.
In the PPP Settings section, enter values from DSL service provider or your ISP.
7.
Select the Quality of Service (QoS).
Leave the default value if you are unsure or if the ISP did not provide this information.
8.
Click Apply to complete the connection setup. This temporarily activates this connection.
In the PVC Settings section, enter values for the VPI and VCI.
Note: Your DSL service provider or your ISP supplies these values. In this example, the
DSL service provider is using 0,33.
13
SOHOSpeed ADSL2/2+ Ethernet/Wireless Gateway User’s Manual

64 characters. It cannot start with a number. The character type restrictions
do not apply for CLI-based configuration.
14
SOHOSpeed ADSL2/2+ Ethernet/Wireless Gateway User’s Manual
Your password for the PPPoE access provided by your DSL service
provider or your ISP. This field is alpha-numeric and the maximum length is
128 characters. The character type restrictions do not apply for CLI-based
configuration.
Specifies that PPPoE connection should disconnect if the link has no
Idle Timeout
activity detected for n seconds. This field is used in conjunction with the
On-Demand feature and is enabled only when the On Demand field is
checked. To ensure that the link is always active, enter a 0 in this field.
You can also enter a value larger than 10 (secs).
When the On Demand option is not enabled, this value specifies the time
Keep Alive
to wait without being connected to your provider before terminating the
connection. To ensure that the link is always active, enter a 0 in this field.
You can also enter any positive integer value in this field.
Authentication Three authentication options are available:
z Auto
z Challenge handshake authentication protocol (CHAP)
z Password authentication protocol (PAP)
Microsoft CHAP v2 is also supported in the Auto and CHAP options.
However, MS CHAP v1 is not supported.
Maximum transmit unit the DSL connection can transmit. It is a negotiated
MTU
value that packets of no more than n bytes can be sent to the service
provider. The PPPoE interface default MTU is 1492 (max) and PPPoA
default MTU is 1500 (max). The minimum MTU value is 64.
Enables On Demand mode. The connection disconnects if no activity is
On Demand
detected after the specified idle timeout value. When checked, this field
enables the following fields:
z Idle Timeout
z Host Trigger
z Valid Rx
Default Gateway If checked, this WAN connection acts as the default gateway to the
Internet.
This feature is enabled by default. It forces all TCP traffic to conform with
Enforce MTU
PPP MTU by changing TCP maximum segment size to PPP MTU. If it is
disabled, you may have issues accessing some Internet sites.
Enables PPPoE connection debugging facilities. This option is used by ISP
Debug
technical support and ODM/OEM testers to simulate packets going through
the network from the WAN side.
PPP Unnumbered is a special feature. It enables the ISP to designate a
PPP
block of public IP addresses to the customer where it is statically assigned
Unnumbered
on the LAN side. PPP Unnumbered is, in essence, like a bridged
connection.
The LAN field is associated with the PPP Unnumbered field and is enabled
LAN
when the PPP Unnumbered field is checked. You can specify the LAN
group the packets need to go to when the PPP Unnumbered feature is
activated.
Password
Field
Sharing
VLAN ID
Definition/Description
The following options are available:
z Disable: Disables connection sharing.
z Enable: Enables connection sharing.
z VLAN: The VLAN ID and Priority Bits fields are activated when VLAN is
selected, which enable you to create VLAN.
VLAN Identification. Multiple connections over the same PVC are supported,
which requires the WAN network to have VLAN support and for the DSLAMS and
Routers on the ISP to handle VLAN Tags.
Extended support is also available, which allows multiple connections to be
placed over the single PVC without VLAN support (VLAN Tag of 0 is this special
case). In this mode of operation, a received packet is flooded on all the
connections that reside over it.

Priority
Bits
PVC
VPI
VCI
QoS
PCR
Priority is given to a VLAN connection from 0-7. All packets sent over the VLAN
connection have the Priority bits set to the configured value.
Permanent virtual circuit. This is a fixed virtual circuit between two users.
It is the public data network equivalent of a leased line. No call setup or clearing
procedures are needed.
Virtual path identifier, equivalent to the virtual path connection (VPC).
Virtual channel identifier. A 16-bit field in the header of an ATM cell. The VCI,
together with the VPI, is used to identify the next destination of a cell as it passes
through to the ATM switch.
Quality of service, a characteristic of data transmission that measures how
accurately and how quickly a message or data is transferred from a source host
to a destination host over a network. The three QoS options are:
z Undefined Bit Rate (UBR): When UBR is selected, the PCR, SCR, MBS,
and CDVT fields are disabled.
z Constant Bit Rate (CBR): When CBR is selected, the PCR and CDVT fields
are enabled.
z Variable Bit Rate (VBR): When VBR is selected, the PCR, SCR, MBS, and
CDVT fields are enabled.
Peak Cell Rate, measured in cells/sec, is the cell rate which the source may
never exceed.
Sustained cell rate, measured in cells/sec, is the average cell rate over the
duration of the connection.
Maximum burst size, a traffic parameter that specifies the maximum number of
MBS
cells that can be transmitted at the Peak Cell Rate.
Cell delay variation tolerance, the maximum amount of cell delay variation that
CDVT
can be accommodated. Cell delay variation measures the random inter-arrival
times of cells within an ATM connection due to cell transfer delay caused by
buffering, multiplexing, and so on.
Auto PVC Auto-Sensing permanent virtual circuit. The overall operation of the auto-sensing
PVC feature relies on end-to-end OAM pings to defined PVCs. There are two
groups of PVCs: customer default PVCs which are defined by the OEM/ISP and
the backup PVCs. The customer default must have 0/35 as the first default PVC.
The backup list of PVCs must be of the following VPI/VCI: 0/35, 8/35, 0/43, 0/51,
0/59, 8/43, 8/51, and 8/59. The list of PVCs is defined in XML and is configurable.
The Auto-Sensing PVC feature itself is also configurable in that the auto-search
mechanism can be disabled.
Upon DSL synchronization, end-to-end OAM pings will be conducted for every
defined PVC. The result of the pings will be recorded in an array for later use to
determine the usability of the particular PVC for connectivity. This list helps the
PVC manage the available PVC for use, and needs to be synchronized with
connections made without Auto-Sensing PVC. Update to this list is performed for
any change in DSL synchronization.
During connection establishment, the PVC module will first search through the list
of defined default PVCs. If a PVC is found from the default list that is ping-able
and not in use, the PVC module will update for that particular PVC as in-use from
the list and continues processing. If a PVC is not found in the default, the backup
PVC list is used. If no PVC is found again, the module will let the end-user know
that no available VCC was found.
With the connection established, the PVC is stored in flash as the connection
default PVC. Therefore upon reboot, this PVC is automatically chosen as the
PVC for that connection. This saved PVC in environment space of flash overrides
SCR
16
SOHOSpeed ADSL2/2+ Ethernet/Wireless Gateway User’s Manual
the PVC connection saved in XML configuration space of flash for that
connection. During the connection establishment processing, the saved PVC will
be checked to see whether a connection can be made with the PVC. If the PVC
is OAM ping-able, the connection process continues. If the PVC is not OAM pingable, the search for an available PVC starts. The process of PVC selection is the
same as described above.
The list of default PVCs and backup PVCs need to be global for the management
of all connections, non Auto-Sensing PVC connection, as well as, Auto-Sensing
PVC connections. These lists allow the end-users to establish connectivity
without keeping track of the PVC used.
PPPoA Connection Setup
PPPoA is also known as RFC 2364. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets in ATM cells
that are carried over the DSL line. PPP, or point-to-point protocol, is a method of establishing
a network connection/session between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of
authenticating users. Logical link control (LLC) and virtual circuit (VC) are two different
methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact your ISP to determine which
encapsulation is being used on your DSL connection.
To configure the SOHOSpeed for PPPoA:
1.
On the Setup main page, click New Connection.
The default PPPoE Connection Setup page isdisplayed.
2.
From Type drop-down box, select PPPoA.

Configuring the LAN
The SOHOSpeed provides LAN configuration for multiple LAN bridge groups. Up to five LAN
bridge groups are supported. The LAN interefaces could include: Ethernet, USB, WLAN
(Primary SSID), SSID1, SSID2, and SSID3. It is possible to assign any LAN interface to any
bridge group but only one group, except that the Ethernet interface needs to stay in LAN
group 1. Each LAN group can then be configured with static IP address, dynamic IP address,
or be unmanaged (no IP).
The default LAN Configuration page shows the LAN interfaces that belong to a single LAN
bridge group (LAN Group 1):
z USB
z Ethernet
z WLAN
Note: The following interfaces are not valid until multiple SSID is enabled and the secondary
SSIDs are configured:
z SSID1 (corresponds to the first secondary SSID)
z SSID2 (corresponds to the second secondary SSID)
z SSID3 (corresponds to the third secondary SSID)
For more information on how to configure multiple SSIDs, refer to ‘‘Multiple SSID’’.
The SOHOSpeed performs routing between the LAN group 1 and the WAN connections as
shown in figure below.

DHCP server of your SOHOSpeed has been enabled. To learn
SNTP
more about the Assign ISP DNS, SNTP feature, refer to
‘‘Assign ISP DNS, SNTP’’.
Start IP
The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts issuing
IP addresses. This value must be greater than the IP address
value of the SOHOSpeed. For example, if the IP address of
the SOHOSpeed is 192.168.1.1 (default), then the starting IP
address must be 192.168.1.2 (or higher).
Note: If you change the start or end values, make sure the
values are still within the same subnet as the SOHOSpeed. In
other words, if the IP address of the SOHOSpeed is
192.168.1.1 (default) and you change the DHCP start/end IP
addresses to be 192.168.1.2/192.168.1.100, you cannot
communicate with the SOHOSpeed if your host has DHCP
enabled.
End IP
The End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops issuing
IP addresses. The ending address cannot exceed a subnet
limit of 254, hence the max value for the default gateway is
192.168.1.254. If the DHCP server runs out of DHCP
addresses, users do not get access to network resources. If
this happens, you can increase the Ending IP address (to the
limit of 254) or reduce the lease time.
Note: If you change the start or end values, make sure the
values are still within the same subnet as the IP address of the
SOHOSpeed. In other words, if the IP address of the
SOHOSpeed is 192.168.1.1 (default) and you change the
DHCP start/end IP addresses to be
192.168.1.2/192.168.1.100, you cannot communicate with the
SOHOSpeed if your host has DHCP enabled.
Lease
The Lease Time is the amount of time that a network user is
Time
allowed to maintain a network connection to the SOHOSpeed
using the current dynamic IP address. At the end of the Lease
Time, the lease is either renewed or a new IP is issued by the
DHCP server. The amount of time is in units of seconds. The
default value is 3600 seconds (1 hour). The maximum value is
999999 seconds (about 278 hours).
In addition to the DHCP server feature, the SOHOSpeed
supports the DHCP relay function. When the SOHOSpeed is
configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses to the
LAN clients. When the SOHOSpeed is configured as DHCP
relay, it is responsible for forwarding the requests and
responses negotiated between the DHCP clients and the
server.
Relay IP
The IP address of the DHCP relay server.
When the DHCP server and relay functions are turned off, the
network administrator must carefully configure the IP address,
Subnet Mask, and DNS settings of every host on your network.
Do not assign the same IP address to more than one host.
Also, your SOHOSpeed must reside on the same subnet as all
the other hosts.

z DNS: 10.10.10.5
The SOHOSpeed has a choice of advertising its own IP address (192.168.1.1) to the LAN
side hosts as the DNS server, or providing the DNS that was received from the WAN side
(10.10.10.5). This can be configured by enabling/ disabling Assign ISP DNS SNTP on the
LAN Group Configuration page.
Note: This section only applies when you have enabled DHCP server on the LAN Group
Configuration page.
External DHCP Options
The default option (feature disabled)
As shown in figure above, when Assign ISP DSN SNTP is disabled, the hosts on the LAN
network use the LAN IP address of the SOHOSpeed as the DNS. The following data is
provided to the host by the DHCP server.
z IP: 192.168.1.x
z Gateway: 192.168.1.1
z DNS: 192.168.1.1
The external DHCP option (feature enabled)
As shown in figure above, when Assign ISP DSN SNTP is enabled, the host on the LAN
network uses the WAN side DNS. The following data is provided to the host:
z IP: 192.168.1.x
z Gateway: 192.168.1.1
z DNS: 10.0.0.5

SOHOSpeed ADSL2/2+ Ethernet/Wireless Gateway User’s Manual
Note: If the WAN connection is also of DHCP type, the SOHOSpeed receives additional data
from the ISP, and if Assign ISP DSN SNTP is enabled, the data is passed on to the LAN side
hosts as well. The additional data may include (but not limited to) the following:
z Time server
z Log server
z Cookie server
z Print server
z NTP server
z WINS server
3.5.2 Ethernet Switch Configuration
Ethernet switch port settings can be configured to meet the requirements of your LAN
configuration. As seen in the drop-down menu in figure below, port setting options include:
z Auto detect (default)
z 10 Mbps half duplex
z 10 Mbps full duplex
z 100 Mbps half duplex
z 100 Mbps full duplex
In the example shown, the system has auto-detected an Ethernet cable connected to LAN
port 3 and assigned a port setting of 100 Mbps full duplex.

Configuring the WLAN
The wireless local area networks (WLAN) tab allows you to perform WLAN interface
configuration functions.
3.6.1 WIRELESS Setup
The default Wireless Setup page which is accessed by clicking the Setup link. This page
provides basic access point (AP) parameter settings.
Note: you must Restart Access Point for Wireless changes to take effect.
Field Description
Field
Definition/Description
Enables/disables the access point.
Enable AP
Primary SSID The primary service set identifier of the AP, which is the only SSID your AP
broadcasts (if hidden SSID is disabled). The default is TI-AR7WRD and you
can assign a unique SSID to your AP. The SSID is up to 32 characters.
Hidden SSID Enables/disables the hidden SSID feature. When hidden SSID is enabled,
the SSID is removed from the beacon frames the AP transmits, thus the AP
will not be seen by any other station.
The VLAN ID for the primary SSID. By default, multiple SSID is disabled and
VLAN ID
the VLAN ID of the primary SSID is 0. When you enable multiple SSID, you
are prompted to change the VLAN ID of the primary SSID to a unique value
between 1 - 4095. For more information on enabling multiple SSID, refer to
‘‘Multiple SSID’’.
Channel B/G The channel on which the AP and the wireless stations communicate.
Different domains have different ranges of channels. For FCC in 2.4 GHz,
the default channel is 11.
802.11 Mode You can select from the following modes:
z Mixed mode: Both 802.11b and g modes are supported. The legacy
supported rates information element (SR IE) contains the 802.11b
legacy supported rates and the additional OFDM supported rates.
Extended SR IE contains the extended supported rates, if present.
Beacon & Probe Response Frames are sent in b rate.
z 11b only Mode: The legacy SR IE contains only the 802.11b legacy
supported rates. The extended SR IE is not present.
z 11b+ Mode: Similar to the 802.11b-only mode except that 22Mbps
PBCC rate/modulation is included, which is TI proprietary.
z 11g only Mode: The legacy SR IE contains only the OFDM additional
supported rates. The extended SR IE contains the extended supported
rates, if present.

SOHOSpeed ADSL2/2+ Ethernet/Wireless Gateway User’s Manual
Enables/disables the 4x feature for 802.11g mode. This function is
SOHOSpeed proprietary and is only available when both TI wireless station
card and SOHOSpeed are used.
User Isolation When checked, wireless users will not be able to directly access other
wireless users. More details on User Isolation are discussed in ‘‘User
Isolation’’.
Support Refer to ‘‘WLAN QoS Support’’ for more information.

User Isolation
When user isolation is enabled, wireless users will not be able to directly access other
wireless users. Access can be controlled by the AP.
The figure below illustrates the three states of enabling the user isolation feature:
1.
AP disabled basic service set (BSS) bridging: Before user isolation is enabled, the
stations can exchange data via the AP. This is disabled when user isolation is enabled.
2.
3.
All data is sent to WAN.
Enable/disable flag: No station has direct access to other stations as a result of user
isolation.
Follow the procedure below to save changes you have made on the Wireless Setup page.
1.
2.
Click Apply.
Click Restart Access Point at the bottom of the page, which takes you to the System
Commands page.
Note: An alternative way to access the System Commands page is to select Tools at
the top of the page, then click the System Commands link.
3.
On the System Commands page, click Save All.
This temporarily saves all the changes you have made. You will still need to restart the
access point for any changes to take effect.
4.
Click Restart Access Point for changes to the WLAN settings to take effect.
CAUTION: Any changes you make to the WLAN page do NOT get saved automatically.
Clicking Apply on the individual page is not sufficient for the changes you made to take effect.
