or ADSL connection not present. In
addition, if an IP or PPPoE session is
dropped for any reason, other than an idle
timeout, the light is turned off.
Blink IP connected and IP Traffic is passing
through the device (either direction)
10
Note:
A malfunction is any error of internal sequence or state that will prevent the device
from connecting to the DSLAM or passing customer data. This may be identified at
various times such after power on or during operation through the use of self testing
or in operations which result in a unit state that is not expected or should not occur.
IP connected (the device has a WAN IP address from IPCP or DHCP and DSL is up or
a static IP address is configured, PPP negotiation has successfully complete – if
used – and DSL is up ) and no traffic detected. If the IP or PPPoE session is dropped
for any other reason, the light is turned off. The light will turn red when it attempts
to reconnect and DHCP or PPPoE fails.
WiFi/WPS Button
Press and release WiFi-WPS button to activate WPS (make sure the WPS is enabled
in Wireless->Security page).
Press and hold WiFi-WPS button more than 5 seconds to enable/disable WiFi.

Chapter 3 Web User Interface
This section describes how to access the device via the web user interface (WUI)
using an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer (version 5.0 and later).
3.1 Default Settings
The factory default settings of this device are summarized below.
• LAN IP address: 192.168.1.1
• LAN subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Administrative access (username: root , password: 12345 )
• WIFI access: enabled
Technical Note
During power on, the device initializes all settings to default values. It will then
read the configuration profile from the permanent storage section of flash memory.
The default attributes are overwritten when identical attributes with different values
are configured. The configuration profile in permanent storage can be created via
the web user interface or telnet user interface, or other management protocols.
The factory default configuration can be restored either by pushing the reset button
for more than five seconds until the power indicates LED blinking or by clicking the
Restore Default Configuration option in the Restore Settings screen.
3.2 IP Configuration
DHCP MODE
When the AR-5312u powers up, the onboard DHCP server will switch on. Basically,
the DHCP server issues and reserves IP addresses for LAN devices, such as your PC.
To obtain an IP address from the DCHP server, follow the steps provided below.
NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows XP.
However, the general steps involved are similar for most operating
systems (OS). Check your OS support documentation for further details.
STEP 1: From the Network Connections window, open Local Area Connection (You
may also access this screen by double-clicking the Local Area Connection
icon on your taskbar). Click the Properties button.
STEP 2: Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
STEP 3: Select Obtain an IP address automatically as shown below.
12
STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings.
If you experience difficulty with DHCP mode, you can try static IP mode instead.
13
STATIC IP MODE
In static IP mode, you assign IP settings to your PC manually.
Follow these steps to configure your PC IP address to use subnet 192.168.1.x.
NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows XP.
However, the general steps involved are similar for most operating
systems (OS). Check your OS support documentation for further details.
STEP 1: From the Network Connections window, open Local Area Connection (You
may also access this screen by double-clicking the Local Area Connection
icon on your taskbar). Click the Properties button.
STEP 2: Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
STEP 3: Change the IP address to the 192.168.1.x (1<x<255) subnet with subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0. The screen should now display as shown below.
STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings.
14
3.3 Login Procedure
Perform the following steps to login to the web user interface.
NOTE: The default settings can be found in 3.1 Default Settings.
STEP 1: Start the Internet browser and enter the default IP address for the device
in the Web address field. For example, if the default IP address is
192.168.1.1, type http://192.168.1.1.
NOTE: For local administration (i.e. LAN access), the PC running the browser
must be attached to the Ethernet, and not necessarily to the device.
For remote access (i.e. WAN), use the IP address shown on the Chapter 4
Device Information screen and login with remote username and
password.
STEP 2: A dialog box will appear, such as the one below. Enter the default
username and password, as defined in section 3.1 Default Settings.
Click OK to continue.

g
ured with the correct SSID to access the
WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that client will not be granted access.
Network Authentication
This option specifies whether a network key is used for authentication to the
wireless network. If network authentication is set to Open, then no authentication
is provided. Despite this, the identity of the client is still verified.
58
Each authentication type has its own settings. For example, selecting 802.1X
authentication will reveal the RADIUS Server IP address, Port and Key fields. WEP
Encryption will also be enabled as shown below.
The settings for WPA authentication are shown below.
The settings for WPA-PSK authentication are shown next.
59
WEP Encryption
This option specifies whether data sent over the network is encrypted. The same
network key is used for data encryption and network authentication. Four network
keys can be defined althou
g
h only one can be used at any one time. Use the Current
Network Key list box to select the appropriate network key.
Security options include authentication and encryption services based on the wired
equivalent privacy (WEP) algorithm. WEP is a set of security services used to
protect 802.11 networks from unauthorized access, such as eavesdroppin
g
; in this
case, the capture of wireless network traffic.
When data encryption is enabled, secret shared encryption keys are
g
enerated and
used by the source station and the destination station to alter frame bits, thus
avoiding disclosure to eavesdroppers.
Under shared key authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received
a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11
wireless network communications channel.
Encryption Strength
This drop-down list box will display when WEP Encryption is enabled. The key
strength is proportional to the number of binary bits comprising the key. This
means that keys with a
g
reater number of bits have a
g
reater de
g
ree of security and
are considerably more difficult to crack. Encryption strength can be set to either
64-bit or 128-bit. A 64-bit key is equivalent to 5 ASCII characters or 10
hexadecimal numbers. A 128-bit key contains 13 ASCII characters or 26
hexadecimal numbers. Each key contains a 24-bit header (an initiation vector)
which enables parallel decoding of multiple streams of encrypted data.

multiple WAN services, manual configuration is required.
2) If a physical ETHWAN port is detected, the Auto Detection for ETHWAN will be
fixed on the physical ETHWAN port and cannot be configured for any LAN port;
if the physical ETHWAN port is not detected, the Auto Detection for ETHWAN will
be configured to the 4
th
LAN port by default and allows it to be configured for any
LAN port as well.
3) For cases in which both the DSL port and ETHWAN port are plugged in at the
same time, the DSL WAN will have priority over ETHWAN. For example, the
ETHWAN port is plugged in with a WAN service detected automatically and then
the DSL port is plugged in and linked up. The Auto Detection feature will clear
the WAN service for ETHWAN and re-detect the WAN service for DSL port.
4) If none of the pre-configured services are detected, a Bridge service will be
created.

Classification Criteria
Class Interface Select an interface (i.e. Local, eth0-4, wl0)
Ether Type Set the Ethernet type (e.g. IP, ARP, IPv6).
Source MAC Address A packet belongs to SET-1, if a binary-AND of its source
MAC address with the Source MAC Mask is equal to the
binary-AND of the Source MAC Mask and this field.
Source MAC Mask This is the mask used to decide how many bits are checked
in Source MAC Address.
Destination MAC
Address
A packet belongs to SET-1 then the result that the
Destination MAC Address of its header binary-AND to the
Destination MAC Mask must equal to the result that this
field binary-AND to the Destination MAC Mask.
Destination MAC Mask This is the mask used to decide how many bits are checked
in Destination MAC Address.
Classification Results
Specify Class Queue Packets classified into a queue that exit through an
interface for which the queue is not specified to exist, will
instead egress to the default queue on the interface.
Specify Class Policer Packets classified into a policer will be marked based on
