If an IP or PPPoE session is dropped due to an idle timeout, the light will remain green if an ADSL connection is still present. Off  Modem power off, modem in bridged mode 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.
   12 Blink  IP connected and IP Traffic is passing thru the device (either direction) RED On Device attempted to become IP connected and failed (no DHCP response, no PPPoE response, PPPoE authentication failed, no IP address from IPCP, etc.)
   13 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.
   14 3.2 IP Configuration DHCP MODE  When the VR-3033 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.
   15 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.
   16  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.  Enter the default username and password, as defined in section 3.1 Default Settings.      Click OK to continue.  NOTE:   The login password can be changed later (see section 8.6.1 Passwords).

   58 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. 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 Country RegRev  Wireless country code for transmit power limit. 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.
   59 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.      Please see 6.11.3 for WPS setup instructions.  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 menu. 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.
   60  The settings for WPA2-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 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 6.11 for MAC Filter, Wireless Bridge and Advanced Wireless features.

   88       Automatically Add Clients With Following DHCP Vendor IDs:  Add support to automatically map LAN interfaces to PVC's using DHCP vendor ID (option 60). The local DHCP server will decline and send the requests to a remote DHCP server by mapping the appropriate LAN interface. This will be turned on when Interface Grouping is enabled.  For example, imagine there are 4 PVCs (0/33, 0/36, 0/37, 0/38). VPI/VCI=0/33 is for PPPoE while the other PVCs are for IP set-top box (video). The LAN interfaces are ETH1, ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4.    The Interface Grouping configuration will be:
   89 1. Default: ETH1, ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4. 2. Video: nas_0_36, nas_0_37, and nas_0_38. The DHCP vendor ID is "Video".  If the onboard DHCP server is running on "Default" and the remote DHCP server is running on PVC 0/36 (i.e. for set-top box use only). LAN side clients can get IP addresses from the CPE's DHCP server and access the Internet via PPPoE (0/33).  If a set-top box is connected to ETH1 and sends a DHCP request with vendor ID "Video", the local DHCP server will forward this request to the remote DHCP server. The Interface Grouping configuration will automatically change to the following:  1. Default: ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4 2. Video: nas_0_36, nas_0_37, nas_0_38, and ETH1.

Click Apply/Save to apply the selected wireless options.    Consult the table below for descriptions of these options.
   99   Option  Description Enable Wireless  A checkbox  that enables or disables the wireless LAN interface.  When selected, a set of basic wireless options will appear. Enable Wireless Hotspot2.0 Enable Wireless Hotspot 2.0 (Wi-Fi Certified Passpoint) on the wireless interface.  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. 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 Country RegRev  Wireless country code for transmit power limit. 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.
   100 6.11.2 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.    Please see 6.11.3 for WPS setup instructions.  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 menu. 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.  Different authentication type pops up different settings requests.
   101  Choosing 802.1X, enter RADIUS Server IP address, RADIUS Port, RADIUS key and Current Network Key.  Also, enable WEP Encryption and select Encryption Strength.    Select the Current Network Key and enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-bit encryption keys and enter 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for 64-bit encryption keys.   Choosing WPA2-PSK, you must enter WPA Pre-Shared Key and Group Rekey Interval.      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.
   102 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 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.
   103 6.11.3 WPS Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard that simplifies wireless security setup for certified network devices. Every WPS certified device has both a PIN number and a push button, located on the device or accessed through device software. The VR-3033 has a WPS button on the device.  Devices with the WPS logo (shown here) support WPS. If the WPS logo is not present on your device it still may support WPS, in this case, check the device documentation for the phrase “Wi-Fi Protected Setup”.  NOTE:  WPS is only available in Open, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK network authentication modes.  Other authentication modes do not use WPS so they must be configured manually.  To configure security settings with WPS, follow the procedures below. You must choose either the Push-Button or PIN configuration method for Steps 6 and 7. I. Setup Step 1:  Enable WPS by selecting Enabled from the drop down list box shown.       Step 2:  Set the WPS AP Mode. Configured is used when the VR-3033 will assign security settings to clients. Unconfigured is used when an external client assigns security settings to the VR-3033.      NOTES:  Your client may or may not have the ability to provide security settings to the VR-3033. If it does not, then you must set the WPS AP mode to Configured. Consult the device documentation to check its capabilities.
   104 6.11.4 MAC Filter This 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  Description Select SSID  Select the wireless network name from the drop-down menu. 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 Mode Disabled: MAC filtering is disabled. Allow: Permits access for the specified MAC addresses. Deny: Rejects access for the specified MAC addresses. MAC Address  Lists 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.
   105   Enter the MAC address in the box provided and click Apply/Save.

Selecting Enabled or Enabled (Scan) enables wireless bridge restriction. Only those bridges selected in the Remote Bridges list will be granted access. Click Refresh to update the station list when Bridge Restrict is enabled. Remote Bridges MAC Address Enter the list of MAC addresses allowed to act as wireless bridge clients.
   107 6.11.6 Advanced  The Advanced screen allows you to configure advanced features of the wireless LAN interface. You can select a particular channel on which to operate, force the transmission rate to a particular speed, set the fragmentation threshold, set the RTS threshold, set the wakeup interval for clients in power-save mode, set the beacon interval for the access point, set XPress mode and set whether short or long preambles are used. Click Apply/Save to set new advanced wireless options.     Field  Description Band  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. Channel  Drop-down menu that allows selection of a specific channel. Auto Channel Timer (min)  Auto channel scan timer in minutes (0 to disable)
   108 Field  Description 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 Only  Turn Off to allow 802.11b/g clients access to the router. Turn On to prohibit 802.11b/g client’s access to the router. RIFS Advertisement  One of several draft-n features designed to improve efficiency. Provides a shorter delay between OFDM transmissions than in 802.11g. 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. 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.
   109 Field  Description 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 Technology  Xpress Technology is compliant with draft specifications of two planned wireless industry standards. 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. Beamforming Transmission (BFR)  Enable beamforming signal enhance for wireless transmission. Beamforming Reception (BFE)  Enable beamforming signal enhance for wireless reception.
