121 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.

123 IIa. PUSH-BUTTON CONFIGURATION The WPS push-button configuration provides a semi-automated configuration method. The WPS button on the front panel of the router can be used for this purpose. The WPS push-button configuration is described in the procedure below. It is assumed that the Wireless function is Enabled and that the router is configured as the Wireless Access Point (AP) of your WLAN. In addition, the wireless client must also be configured correctly and turned on, with WPS function enabled. NOTE: The wireless AP on the router searches for 2 minutes. If the router stops searching before you complete Step 4, return to Step 3. Step 3: Press WPS button Press the WPS button on the front panel of the router. The WPS LED will blink to show that the router has begun searching for the client. Step 4: Go to your WPS wireless client and activate the push-button function. A typical WPS client screenshot is shown below as an example. Now go to Step 7 (part III. Check Connection) to check the WPS connection. IIb. WPS – PIN CONFIGURATION Using this method, security settings are configured with a personal identification number (PIN). The PIN can be found on the device itself or within the software. The PIN may be generated randomly in the latter case. To obtain a PIN number for your client, check the device documentation for specific instructions. The WPS PIN configuration is described in the procedure below. It is assumed that the Wireless function is Enabled and that the router is configured as the Wireless Access Point (AP) of your wireless LAN. In addition, the wireless client must also be configured correctly and turned on, with WPS function enabled. Step 5: Select the PIN radio button in the WSC Setup section of the Wireless Security screen, as shown in A or B below, and then click the appropriate button based on the WSC AP mode selected in step 2. A - For Configured mode, click the Add Enrollee button.

124 Enter STA PIN: a Personal Identification Number (PIN) has to be read from either a sticker or the display on the new wireless device. This PIN must then be inputted at representing the network, usually the Access Point of the network. B - For Unconfigured mode, click the Config AP button. Step 6: Activate the PIN function on the wireless client. For Configured mode, the client must be configured as an Enrollee. For Unconfigured mode, the client must be configured as the Registrar. This is different from the External Registrar function provided in Windows Vista. The figure below provides an example of a WPS client PIN function in-progress. III. CHECK CONNECTION Step 7: If the WPS setup method was successful, you will be able access the wireless AP from the client. The client software should show the status.

RIFS Advertisement One of several draft-n features designed to improve efficiency. 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 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.

129 Field Description 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. 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. Regulatory Mode Configure the regulatory operation mode if needed.

Hide Access Point Select Hide Access Point to protect the access point from detection by wireless active scans. If the access point is hidden, it will not be listed or listed with empty SSID in the scan result of wireless stations. 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.

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.

134 Different authentication type pops up different settings requests. 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.

168 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  Security  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.

169 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  Security  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.

170 DAYTIME PARENTAL CONTROL This feature restricts access of a selected LAN device to an outside Network through the VR-3060, 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 Network.

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.

192 ENABLE FULLCONE NAT This 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 DEMAND The VR-3060 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 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 . 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 FIREWALL If 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 ADDRESS Unless 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 section 3.2 IP Configuration. FIXED 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.

193 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. 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-3060 supports pass-through PPPoE sessions from the LAN side while simultaneously running a PPPoE client from non-PPPoE LAN devices. ENABLE IGMP MULTICAST PROXY Tick 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. Enable IGMP Multicast Source Enable the WAN interface to be used as IGMP multicast source. STEP 3: Choose an interface to be the default gateway. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.

194 STEP 4: Select DNS Server Interface from available WAN interfaces OR enter static DNS server IP addresses for the system. In ATM mode, if only a single PVC with IPoA or static IPoE protocol is configured, Static DNS server IP addresses must be entered. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.

195 STEP 5: The WAN Setup - Summary screen shows a preview of the WAN service you have configured. Check these settings and click Apply/Save if they are correct, or click Back to modify them. After clicking Apply/Save, the new service should appear on the main screen.

197 STEP 2: The WAN IP settings screen provides access to the DHCP server settings. You can select the Obtain an IP address automatically radio button to enable DHCP (use the DHCP Options only if necessary). However, if you prefer, you can use the Static IP address method instead to assign WAN IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway manually. NOTE: If IPv6 networking is enabled, an additional set of instructions, radio buttons, and text entry boxes will appear at the bottom of the screen. These configuration options are quite similar to those for IPv4 networks. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.

198 STEP 3: This screen provides access to NAT, Firewall and IGMP Multicast settings. Enable each by selecting the appropriate checkbox . Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step. ENABLE NAT If 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, so as to free up system resources for improved performance. ENABLE FULLCONE NAT This 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. ENABLE FIREWALL If 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 so as to free up system resources for better performance. ENABLE IGMP MULTICAST PROXY Tick 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.

PPP SETTINGS The PPP username and password are dependent on the requirements of the ISP. The user name can be a maximum of 256 characters and the password a maximum of 32 characters in length. (Authentication Method: AUTO, PAP, CHAP, or MSCHAP.) KEEP ALIVE INTERVAL This option configures the interval between each PPP LCP request and the amount of time to wait for the PPP server to reply to the LCP request. If the time expired on all requests, the current PPP session would be dropped.

206 ENABLE FULLCONE NAT This 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 DEMAND The VR-3060 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 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 . 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 FIREWALL If 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 ADDRESS Unless your service provider specially requires it, do not select this checkbox . If selected, enter the static IP address in the IP Address field. Also, don’t forget to adjust the IP configuration to Static IP Mode as described in 3.2 IP Configuration. Fixed MTU Fixed Maximum Transmission Unit. The size (in bytes) of largest protocol data unit which the layer can pass onwards. This value is 1500 for PPPoA.

207 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. ENABLE IGMP MULTICAST PROXY Tick 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. Enable IGMP Multicast Source Enable the WAN interface to be used as IGMP multicast source. STEP 3: Choose an interface to be the default gateway. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.

208 STEP 4: Select DNS Server Interface from available WAN interfaces OR enter static DNS server IP addresses for the system. In ATM mode, if only a single PVC with IPoA or static IPoE protocol is configured, Static DNS server IP addresses must be entered. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.

209 STEP 5: The WAN Setup - Summary screen shows a preview of the WAN service you have configured. Check these settings and click Apply/Save if they are correct, or click Back to modify them. After clicking Apply/Save, the new service should appear on the main screen.

210 F2.5 IP over ATM (IPoA) STEP 1: Click Next to continue. STEP 2: Enter the WAN IP settings provided by your ISP. Click Next to continue. STEP 3: This screen provides access to NAT, Firewall and IGMP Multicast settings. Enable each by selecting the appropriate checkbox . Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.

211 ENABLE NAT If 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, so as to free up system resources for improved performance. ENABLE FULLCONE NAT This 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. ENABLE FIREWALL If 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 so as to free up system resources for better performance. ENABLE IGMP MULTICAST PROXY Tick 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. Enable IGMP Multicast Source Enable the WAN interface to be used as IGMP multicast source. STEP 4: Choose an interface to be the default gateway. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.

212 NOTE: If the DHCP server is not enabled on another WAN interface then the following notification will be shown before the next screen. STEP 5: Select DNS Server Interface from available WAN interfaces OR enter static DNS server IP addresses for the system. In ATM mode, if only a single PVC with IPoA or static IPoE protocol is configured, Static DNS server IP addresses must be entered. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.

213 STEP 6: The WAN Setup - Summary screen shows a preview of the WAN service you have configured. Check these settings and click Apply/Save if they are correct, or click Back to modify them. After clicking Apply/Save, the new service should appear on the main screen.
