802.11n/EWC An equipment interoperability standard setting based on
IEEE 802.11n Draft 2.0 and Enhanced Wireless Consortium
(EWC)
Bandwidth Select 20GHz or 40GHz bandwidth. 40GHz bandwidth uses
two adjacent 20GHz bands for increased data throughput.
Control Sideband Select Upper or Lower sideband when in 40GHz mode.
802.11n Rate Set the physical transmission rate (PHY).
802.11n Protection Turn Off for maximized throughput.
Turn On for greater security.
RIFS Advertisement Reduced Interframe Space is the creation of a short time
delay between PDUs to improve wireless efficiency.
OBSS Co-Existence Co-existence between 20 MHZ AND 40 MHZ overlapping
Basic Service Set (OBSS) in WLAN.
RX Chain Power Save Enabling this feature turns off one of the Receive chains,
going from 2x2 to 2x1 to save power.
RX Chain Power Save
Quiet Time The number of seconds the traffic must be below the PPS
value below before the Rx Chain Power Save feature
activates itself.
RX Chain Power Save PPS
The maximum number of packets per seconds that can be
processed by the WLAN interface for a duration of Quiet
Time, described above, before the Rx Chain Power Save
feature activates itself.
Support 802.11n Client
Only Turn Off to allow 802.11b/g clients access to the router.
Turn On to prohibit 802.11b/g clients access to the router.
54g Rate Drop-down menu that specifies the following fixed rates:
Auto: Default. Uses the 11 Mbps data rate when possible
but drops to lower rates when necessary. 1 Mbps, 2Mbps,
5.5Mbps, or 11Mbps fixed rates. The appropriate setting is
dependent on signal strength.
Multicast Rate Setting for multicast packet transmit rate (1-54 Mbps)
Basic Rate Setting for basic transmission rate.
Fragmentation Threshold
A threshold, specified in bytes, that determines whether
packets will be fragmented and at what size. On an 802.11
WLAN, packets that exceed the fragmentation threshold are
fragmented, i.e., split into, smaller units suitable for the
circuit size. Packets smaller than the specified
fragmentation threshold value are not fragmented. Enter a
value between 256 and 2346. If you experience a high
packet error rate, try to slightly increase your
Fragmentation Threshold. The value should remain at its
default setting of 2346. Setting the Fragmentation
Threshold too low may result in poor performance.
RTS Threshold Request to Send, when set in bytes, specifies the packet size
beyond which the WLAN Card invokes its RTS/CTS
mechanism. Packets that exceed the specified RTS
threshold trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism. The NIC
transmits smaller packet without using RTS/CTS. The
default setting of 2347 (maximum length) disables RTS
Threshold.

Field Description
DTIM Interval Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is also known as
Beacon Rate. The entry range is a value between 1 and
65535. A DTIM is a 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
milliseconds. The default is 100 ms and the acceptable
range is 1 – 65535. The beacon transmissions identify the
presence of an access point. By default, network devices
passively scan all RF channels listening for beacons coming
from access points. Before a station enters power save
mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when
to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there
are buffered frames at the access point).
Global Max Clients The maximum number of clients that can connect to the
router.
Xpress TM Technology Xpress Technology is compliant with draft specifications of
two planned wireless industry standards.
Transmit Power Set the power output (by percentage) as desired.
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) The technology maintains the priority of audio, video and
voice applications in a Wi-Fi network. It allows multimedia
service get higher priority.
WMM No
Acknowledgement Refers to the acknowledge policy used at the MAC level.
Enabling no Acknowledgement can result in more efficient
throughput but higher error rates in a noisy Radio Frequency
(RF) environment.
WMM APSD This is Automatic Power Save Delivery. It saves power.

Option
Description
Log
Level Allows you to configure the event level and filter out unwanted events
below this level. The events ranging from the highest critical level
“Emergency” down to this configured level will be recorded to the log
buffer on the NEXUSLINK 3111u SDRAM. When the log buffer is full, the
newer event will wrap up to the top of the log buffer and overwrite the old
event. By default, the log level is “Debugging”, which is the lowest critical
level.
The log levels are defined as follows:
• Emergency = system is unusable
• Alert = action must be taken immediately
• Critical = critical conditions
• Error = Error conditions
• Warning = normal but significant condition
• Notice= normal but insignificant condition
• Informational= provides information for reference
• Debugging = debug-level messages
Emergency is the most serious event level, whereas Debugging is the
least important. For instance, if the log level is set to Debugging, all the
events from the lowest Debugging level to the most critical level
Emergency level will be recorded. If the log level is set to Error, only
Error and the level above will be logged.
Display
Level Allows the user to select the logged events and displays on the View
System Log window for events of this level and above to the highest
Emergency level.
Mode Allows you to specify whether events should be stored in the local
memory, or be sent to a remote system log server, or both
simultaneously. If remote mode is selected, view system log will not be

Appendix A - Firewall
STATEFUL PACKET INSPECTION
Refers to an architecture, where the firewall keeps track of packets on each
connection traversing all its interfaces and makes sure they are valid. This is in
contrast to static packet filtering which only examines a packet based on the
information in the packet header.
DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK
Is an incident in which a user or organization is deprived of the services of a
resource they would normally expect to have. Various DoS attacks the device can
withstand are ARP Attack, Ping Attack, Ping of Death, Land, SYN Attack, Smurf
Attack, and Tear Drop.
TCP/IP/PORT/INTERFACE FILTER
These rules help in the filtering of traffic at the Network layer (i.e. Layer 3).
When a Routing interface is created, Enable Firewall must be checked.
Navigate to Advanced Setup à Security à IP Filtering.
OUTGOING IP FILTER
Helps in setting rules to DROP packets from the LAN interface. By default, if the
Firewall is Enabled, all IP traffic from the LAN is allowed. By setting up one or more
filters, specific packet types coming from the LAN can be dropped.
Example 1: Filter Name : Out_Filter1
Protocol : TCP
Source IP address : 192.168.1.45
Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Source Port : 80
Dest. IP Address : NA
Dest. Subnet Mask : NA
Dest. Port : NA
This filter will Drop all TCP packets coming from the LAN with IP
Address/Subnet Mask of 192.168.1.45/24 having a source port of 80
irrespective of the destination. All other packets will be Accepted.
Example 2: Filter Name : Out_Filter2
Protocol : UDP
Source IP Address : 192.168.1.45
Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Source Port : 5060:6060
Dest. IP Address : 172.16.13.4
Dest. Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Dest. Port : 6060:7070
This filter will drop all UDP packets coming from the LAN with IP Address /
Subnet Mask of 192.168.1.45/24 and a source port range of 5060 to 6060,
destined to 172.16.13.4/24 and a destination port range of 6060 to 7070.
INCOMING IP FILTER
Helps in setting rules to Allow or Deny packets from the WAN interface. By default,
all incoming IP traffic from the WAN is Blocked, if the Firewall is Enabled. By setting
up one or more filters, specific packet types coming from the WAN can be Accepted.
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
98
Example 1: Filter Name : In_Filter1
Protocol : TCP
Policy : Allow
Source IP Address : 210.168.219.45
Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.0.0
Source Port : 80
Dest. IP Address : NA
Dest. Subnet Mask : NA
Dest. Port : NA
Selected WAN interface : br0
This filter will ACCEPT all TCP packets coming from WAN interface “br0” with IP
Address/Subnet Mask 210.168.219.45/16 with a source port of 80, irrespective
of the destination. All other incoming packets on this interface are DROPPED.
Example 2: Filter Name : In_Filter2
Protocol : UDP
Policy : Allow
Source IP Address : 210.168.219.45
Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.0.0
Source Port : 5060:6060
Dest. IP Address : 192.168.1.45
Dest. Sub. Mask : 255.255.255.0
Dest. Port : 6060:7070
Selected WAN interface : br0
This rule will ACCEPT all UDP packets coming from WAN interface “br0” with IP
Address/Subnet Mask 210.168.219.45/16 and a source port in the range of
5060 to 6060, destined to 192.168.1.45/24 and a destination port in the range
of 6060 to 7070. All other incoming packets on this interface are DROPPED.
MAC LAYER FILTER
These rules help in the filtering of Layer 2 traffic. MAC Filtering is only effective in
Bridge mode. After a Bridge mode connection is created, navigate to Advanced
Setup à Security à MAC Filtering in the WUI.
Example 1: Global Policy : Forwarded
Protocol Type : PPPoE
Dest. MAC Address : 00:12:34:56:78:90
Source MAC Address : NA
Src. Interface : eth1
Dest. Interface : eth2
Addition of this rule drops all PPPoE frames going from eth1 to eth2 with a
Destination MAC Address of 00:12:34:56:78:90 irrespective of its Source MAC
Address. All other frames on this interface are forwarded.
Example 2: Global Policy : Blocked
Protocol Type : PPPoE
Dest. MAC Address : 00:12:34:56:78:90
Source MAC Address : 00:34:12:78:90:56
Src. Interface : eth1
Dest. Interface : eth2
Addition of this rule forwards all PPPoE frames going from eth1 to eth2 with a
Destination MAC Address of 00:12:34:56:78 and Source MAC Address of
00:34:12:78:90:56. All other frames on this interface are dropped.

DAYTIME PARENTAL CONTROL
This feature restricts access of a selected LAN device to an outside Network through
the NEXUSLINK 3111u, as per chosen days of the week and the chosen times.
Example: User Name : FilterJohn
Browser's MAC Address : 00:25:46:78:63:21
Days of the Week : Mon, Wed, Fri
Start Blocking Time : 14:00
End Blocking Time : 18:00
With this rule, a LAN device with MAC Address of 00:25:46:78:63:21 will have
no access to the WAN on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 2pm to 6pm.
On all other days and times, this device will have access to the outside

Appendix D - SSH Client
Unlike Microsoft Windows, Linux OS has a ssh client included. For Windows users,
there is a public domain one called “putty” that can be downloaded from here:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
To access the ssh client you must first enable SSH access for the LAN or WAN from

Appendix G - Connection Setup
Creating a WAN connection is a two-stage process.
1 - Setup a Layer 2 Interface (ATM, PTM or Ethernet).
2 - Add a WAN connection to the Layer 2 Interface.
The following sections describe each stage in turn.
G1 ~ Layer 2 Interfaces
Every layer2 interface operates in one of three modes: Default, VLAN Mux or MSC.
A short introduction to each of these three modes is included below for reference.
It is important to understand the differences between these connection modes, as
they determine the number and types of connections that may be configured.
DEFAULT MODE
In this mode there is a 1:1 relationship between interfaces and WAN connections, in
that an interface in default mode supports just one connection. However, unlike the
multiple connection modes described below, it supports all five connection types.
The figure below shows the five connection types available in ATM default mode.
VLAN MUX MODE
This mode uses VLAN tags to allow for multiple connections over a single interface.
PPPoE, IPoE, and Bridge are supported while PPPoA and IPoA connections are not.
The figure below shows multiple connections over a single VLAN Mux interface.
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
115
MSC MODE
Multi-Service Connection (MSC) mode supports multiple connections over a single
interface. As with VLAN Mux mode, PPPoA and IPoA connection types are not
supported, while Bridging is unavailable for Ethernet WAN interfaces. After adding
WAN connections to an interface, you must also create an Interface Group to
connect LAN/WAN interfaces (see section G3 ~ More About MSC Mode).
G1.1 ATM Interfaces

PPP IP EXTENSION
The PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service providers.
Unless your service provider specifically requires this setup, do not select it.
PPP IP Extension does the following:
• Allows only one PC on the LAN.
• Disables NAT and Firewall.
• The device becomes the default gateway and DNS server to the PC
through DHCP using the LAN interface IP address.
• The device extends the IP subnet at the remote service provider to the
LAN PC. i.e. the PC becomes a host belonging to the same IP subnet.
• The device bridges the IP packets between WAN and LAN ports, unless
the packet is addressed to the device’s LAN IP address.
• The public IP address assigned by the remote side using the PPP/IPCP
protocol is actually not used on the WAN PPP interface. Instead, it is
forwarded to the PC LAN interface through DHCP. Only one PC on the
LAN can be connected to the remote, since the DHCP server within the
device has only a single IP address to assign to a LAN device.
ENABLE NAT
If the LAN is configured with a private IP address, the user should select this
checkbox þ. The NAT submenu will appear in the Advanced Setup menu after reboot.
On the other hand, if a private IP address is not used on the LAN side (i.e. the LAN
side is using a public IP), this checkbox þ should not be selected to free up system
resources for better performance.
ENABLE FIREWALL
If this checkbox þ is selected, the Security submenu will be displayed on the
Advanced Setup menu after reboot. If firewall is not necessary, this checkbox þ
should not be selected to free up system resources for better performance.
USE STATIC IPv4 ADDRESS
Unless your service provider specially requires it, do not select this checkbox þ. If
selected, enter the static IP address in the IPv4 Address field. Don’t forget to
adjust the IP configuration to Static IP Mode as described in 3.2 IP Configuration.
USE STATIC IPv6 ADDRESS
This option displays when IPv6 is enabled. Unless your service provider specially
requires it, do not select this checkbox þ. If selected, enter the static IP address in
the IPv6 Address field along with a value for Prefix Length. Don’t forget to adjust
the IP configuration to Static IP Mode as described in 3.2 IP Configuration.
MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit. The size (in bytes) of largest protocol data unit which
the layer can pass onwards. This value is 1492 for PPPoE.
ENABLE PPP DEBUG MODE
When this option is selected, the system will put more PPP connection information
into the system log. This is for debugging errors and not for normal usage.
