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.

6.12.3 WPS 5GHz
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-3060 has a 5GHz 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.
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-3060 will assign
security settings to clients. Unconfigured is used when an external
client assigns security settings to the VR-3060.
NOTES: Your client may or may not have the ability to provide security settings to
the VR-3060. If it does not, then you must set the WPS AP mode to
Configured. Consult the device documentation to check its capabilities.
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.
The example below shows that the connection established successfully.
You can also double-click the Wireless Network Connection icon from the
Network Connections window (or the system tray) to confirm the status of the new

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.

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.
144
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).

155
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 VR-3060 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

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.

F2.1 PPP over ETHERNET (PPPoE)
STEP 1: Select the PPP over Ethernet radio button and click Next. You can also
enable IPv6 by selecting from the drop-down box at the bottom of this
screen.
STEP 2: On the next screen, enter the PPP settings as provided by your ISP.
Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.
191
Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.
The settings shown above are described below.
PPP SETTINGS
The PPP Username, PPP password and the PPPoE Service Name entries are
dependent on the particular requirements of the ISP. 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.

For untagged service, set -1 to both 802.1P Priority and 802.1Q VLAN ID.
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.
