12 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) • User access (username: user, password: user) • Remote (WAN) access (username: support, password: support) • WLAN 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 ten seconds until the power indicates LED blinking or by clicking the Restore Default Configuration option in the Restore Settings screen.
13 3.2 IP Configuration DHCP MODE When the NexusLink 3112u 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. STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings. If you experience difficulty with DHCP mode, you can try static IP mode instead.
14 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.
15 3.3 Login Procedure Perform the following steps to login to the web user interface. NOTE: The default settings can be found in section 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 Device Information screen and login with remote username and password. STEP 2: A dialog box will appear, such as the one below.

59 5.4 Wireless 5.4.1 Basic The Basic option allows you to configure basic features of the wireless LAN interface. Among other things, you can enable or disable the wireless LAN interface, hide the network from active scans, set the wireless network name (also known as SSID) and restrict the channel set based on country requirements. Click Apply/Save to apply the selected wireless options. Consult the table below for descriptions of these options. Option Description Enable Wireless A checkbox  that enables or disables the wireless LAN interface. When selected, a set of basic wireless options will appear.
60 Option Description Hide Access Point Select Hide Access Point to protect the access point from detection by wireless active scans. To check AP status in Windows XP, open Network Connections from the start Menu and select View Available Network Connections. If the access point is hidden, it will not be listed there. To connect a client to a hidden access point, the station must add the access point manually to its wireless configuration. Clients Isolation When enabled, it prevents client PCs from seeing one another in My Network Places or Network Neighborhood. Also, prevents one wireless client communicating with another wireless client. Disable WMM Advertise Stops the router from ‘advertising’ its Wireless Multimedia (WMM) functionality, which provides basic quality of service for time-sensitive applications (e.g. VoIP, Video). Enable Wireless Multicast Forwarding Select the checkbox  to enable this function. Enable WiFi Button Select the checkbox  to enable the WiFi button. SSID [1-32 characters] Sets the wireless network name. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. All stations must be configured with the correct SSID to access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that user will not be granted access. BSSID The BSSID is a 48-bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic Service Set) within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the AP (Access Point); and in Independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly. Country A drop-down menu that permits worldwide and specific national settings. Local regulations limit channel range: US= worldwide, Japan=1-14, Jordan= 10-13, Israel= 1-13 Max Clients The maximum number of clients that can access the router. Wireless - Guest / Virtual Access Points This router supports multiple SSIDs called Guest SSIDs or Virtual Access Points. To enable one or more Guest SSIDs select the checkboxes  in the Enabled column. To hide a Guest SSID select its checkbox  in the Hidden column. Do the same for Isolate Clients and Disable WMM Advertise. For a description of these two functions, see the previous entries for “Clients Isolation” and “Disable WMM Advertise”. Similarly, for Enable WMF, Max Clients and BSSID, consult the matching entries in this table. NOTE: Remote wireless hosts cannot scan Guest SSIDs.
61 5.4.2 Security The following screen appears when Wireless Security is selected. The options shown here allow you to configure security features of the wireless LAN interface. Click Apply/Save to implement new configuration settings. WIRELESS SECURITY Setup requires that the user configure these settings using the Web User Interface (see the table below). Select SSID Select the wireless network name from the drop-down box. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. All stations must be configured 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. 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.
62 The settings for WPA-PSK authentication are shown next. 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 although 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 eavesdropping; in this case, the capture of wireless network traffic. When data encryption is enabled, secret shared encryption keys are generated 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 greater number of bits have a greater degree 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
63 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. Please see 6.13 for MAC Filter, Wireless Bridge and Advanced Wireless features.
