6.5 Interface Grouping
Interface Grouping supports multiple ports to PVC and bridging groups. Each group
performs as an independent network. To use this feature, you must create mapping
groups with appropriate LAN and WAN interfaces using the Add button.
The Remove button removes mapping groups, returning the ungrouped interfaces
to the Default group. Only the default group has an IP interface.
To add an Interface Group, click the Add button. The following screen will appear.
It lists the available and grouped interfaces. Follow the instructions shown
onscreen.
83
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 2 WAN services, an IPoE and a PPPoE. IPoE is for IP
set-top box (video). The LAN interfaces are ETH1, ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4.
The Interface Grouping configuration will be:
1. Default: ETH1, ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4.
2. Video: ipoe_eth0. The DHCP vendor ID is "Video".
84
If the onboard DHCP server is running on "Default" and the remote DHCP server is
running on IPoE (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 .
If a set-top box is connected to ETH1 and sends a DHCP request with vendor ID
"Video", CPE 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: ipoe_eth0, and ETH1.

6.10.2 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 6.10.3 WPS 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.
Choosing 802.1X, enter RADIUS Server IP address, RADIUS Port, RADIUS key and
Current Network Key.
96
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 WPA, you must enter WPA Group Rekey Interval.
Choosing WPA-PSK, you must enter WPA Pre-Shared Key and Group Rekey
Interval.
97
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.
98
6.10.3 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 th e device or accesse d through device
software. The WR-6891u 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, c heck 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. O ther 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 WR-6891u will
assign security settings to clients. Unconfigured is used when an
external client assigns security settings to the WR-6891u.
NOTES:
Your client may or may not have the ability to provide security settings to
the WR-6891u. If it does not, then you must set the WPS AP mode to
Configured. Consult the device documentation to check its capabilities.
In addition, using Windows 7, you can add an external registrar using the
Config AP button (Appendix F - WPS OPERATION has detailed
instructions).

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.
104
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.
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
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.

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

maximum of 256 characters and the password a maximum of 32 characters in
length. For Authentication Method, choose from AUTO, PAP, CHAP, and MSCHAP.
140
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 apacket to the internal host,
by sending a packet to the mapped external address.
DIAL ON DEMAND
The WR-6891u 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.
141
FIXED MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit. The size (in bytes) of largest protocol data unit which
the layer can pass onwards.
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 WR-6891u 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.
NO MULTICAST VLAN FILTER
Tick the checkbox
to Enable/Disable multicast VLAN filter.
Enable WAN interface with base MAC
Enable 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.
