1056.14 Wireless6.14.1 BasicThe 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 DescriptionEnable WirelessA checkbox ;that enables or disables the wireless LAN interface. When selected, a set of basic wireless options will appear.
106Option DescriptionHide Access PointSelect 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 IsolationWhen 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 ForwardingSelect the checkbox ;to enable this function.Enable WiFi ButtonSelect 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= 1-13Max Clients The maximum number of clients that can access the router.Wireless -Guest / Virtual Access PointsThis 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.
1076.14.2 SecurityThe 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 SECURITYSetup requires that the user configure these settings using the Web User Interface (see the table below).Select SSIDSelect 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 AuthenticationThis 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.
108The settings for WPA authentication are shown below.The settings for WPA-PSK authentication are shown next.
109WEP EncryptionThis 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 StrengthThis 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 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.
1106.14.3 MAC FilterThis option allows access to the router to be restricted based upon MAC addresses. To add a MAC Address filter, click the Add button shown below. To delete a filter, select it from the MAC Address table below and click the Remove button.Option DescriptionSelect SSIDSelect 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 user will not be granted access.MAC Restrict ModeDisabled: MAC filtering is disabled.Allow: Permits access for the specified MAC addresses.Deny: Rejects access for the specified MAC addresses.MAC AddressLists the MAC addresses subject to the MAC Restrict Mode. A maximum of 60 MAC addresses can be added. Every network device has a unique 48-bit MAC address. This is usually shown as xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx, where xx are hexadecimal numbers. After clicking the Add button, the following screen appears.

Click Apply/Save to set new advanced wireless options.
114Field DescriptionBand Set to 2.4 GHz for compatibility with IEEE 802.11x standards. The new amendment allows IEEE 802.11n units to fall back to slower speeds so that legacy IEEE 802.11x devices can coexist in the same network. IEEE 802.11g creates data-rate parity at 2.4 GHz with the IEEE 802.11a standard, which has a 54 Mbps rate at 5 GHz. (IEEE 802.11a has other differences compared to IEEE 802.11b or g, such as offering more channels.)Channel Drop-down menu that allows selection of a specific channel.Auto Channel Timer (min)Auto channel scan timer in minutes (0 to disable)802.11n/EWC An equipment interoperability standard setting based on IEEE 802.11n Draft 2.0 and Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC)Bandwidth Select 20MHz or 40MHz bandwidth. 40MHz bandwidth uses two adjacent 20MHz bands for increased data throughput.Control Sideband Select Upper or Lower sideband when in 40MHz mode.802.11n Rate Set the physical transmission rate (PHY).802.11n Protection Turn Off for maximized throughput. Turn On for greater security.Support 802.11n Client OnlyTurn Off to allow 802.11b/g clients access to the router.Turn On to prohibit 802.11b/g clients access to the router.RIFS Advertisement One of several draft-n features designed to improveefficiency. Provides a shorter delay between OFDM transmissions than in802.11a or g.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 TimeThe 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 PPSThe 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.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 Settingfor multicast packet transmit rate (1-54 Mbps)Basic Rate Setting for basic transmission rate.
115Field DescriptionFragmentation ThresholdA 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.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 Te c hn ol o gy 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 AcknowledgementRefers 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.

137Appendix A - FirewallSTATEFUL PACKET INSPECTIONRefers 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 ATTACKIs 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 FILTERThese 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 ÆSecurity ÆIP Filtering.OUTGOING IP FILTERHelps 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_Filter1Protocol : TCPSource IP address : 192.168.1.45Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0Source Port : 80Dest. IP Address : NADest. Subnet Mask : NADest. Port : NAThis 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_Filter2Protocol : UDPSource IP Address : 192.168.1.45Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0Source Port : 5060:6060Dest. IP Address : 172.16.13.4Dest. Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0Dest. Port : 6060:7070This 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 FILTERHelps 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.
138Example 1:Filter Name : In_Filter1Protocol : TCPPolicy : AllowSource IP Address : 210.168.219.45Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.0.0Source Port : 80Dest. IP Address : NADest. Subnet Mask : NADest.

The user name can be a maximum of 256 characters and the password a maximum of 32 characters in length. For Authentication Method, choose from AUTO, PAP, CHAP, and MSCHAP.
153ENABLE FULLCONE NATThis option becomes available when NAT is enabled. Known as one-to-one NAT, all requests from the same internal IP address and port are mapped to the same external IP address and port. An external host can send a packet to the internal host, by sending a packet to the mapped external address.DIAL ON DEMANDThe VR-3031u can be configured to disconnect if there is no activity for a period of time by selecting the Dial on demand checkbox ;. You must also enter an inactivity timeout period in the range of 1 to 4320 minutes. PPP IP EXTENSIONThe 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:x Allows only one PC on the LAN.x Disables NAT and Firewall.x The device becomes the default gateway and DNS server to the PC through DHCP using the LAN interface IP address.x 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.x The device bridges the IP packets between WAN and LAN ports, unless the packet is addressed to the device’s LAN IP address.x 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 NATIf the LAN is configured with a private IP address, the user should select this checkbox ;. 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 ;should not be selected to free up system resources for better performance. ENABLE FIREWALLIf this checkbox ;is selected, the Security submenu will be displayed on the Advanced Setup menu after reboot. If firewall is not necessary, this checkbox ;should not be selected to free up system resources for better performance. USE STATIC IPv4 ADDRESSUnless your service provider specially requires it, do not select this checkbox ;. 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 section3.2.
154FIXED MTUMaximum Transmission Unit. The size (in bytes) of largest protocol data unit which the layer can pass onwards. This value is 1500 for PPPoA.ENABLE PPP DEBUG MODEWhen 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.BRIDGE PPPOE FRAMES BETWEEN WAN AND LOCAL PORTS (This option is hidden when PPP IP Extension is enabled)When Enabled, this creates local PPPoE connections to the WAN side. Enable this option only if all LAN-side devices are running PPPoE clients, otherwise disable it. The VR-3031u supports pass-through PPPoE sessions from the LAN side while simultaneously running a PPPoE client from non-PPPoE LAN devices. ENABLE IGMP MULTICAST PROXYTick the checkbox ;to enable Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP) multicast. This protocol is used by IPv4 hosts to report their multicast group memberships to any neighboring multicast routers.NO MULTICAST VLAN FILTERTick the checkbox ;to Enable/Disable multicast VLAN filter.Enable WAN interface with base MACEnable this option to use the router’s base MAC address as the MAC address for this WAN interface.STEP 3: Choose an interface to be the default gateway.Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.
