can be as simple as two computers with wireless LAN cards communicating in a
pear-to-pear network or as complex as a number of computers with wireless LAN
cards communicating through access points which bridge network traffic to wired
LAN.
3.2.4.1 Wireless Basics
Choose Setup > Wireless Setup > Wireless Basics. The Wireless Basic
Settings page appears. You may configure the parameters for wireless LAN clients,
which may connect to your access point. Here you may change wireless encryption
settings as well as wireless network parameters.

The following table describes the parameters in this page.
Field Description
Band
Choose the working mode of the modem. You can
choose from the drop-down list.
Mode
Choose the network model of the modem, which is
varied according to the software. By default, the
network model of the modem is AP.
SSID
The service set identification (SSID) is a unique name
to identify the modem in the wireless LAN. Wireless
stations associating to the modem must have the same
SSID. Enter a descriptive name that is used when the
wireless client connecting to the modem.
Channel
Number
Choose a channel from the drop-down list box.
A channel is the radio frequency used by 802.11b/g
wireless devices. There are 13 channels (from 1 to 13)
available depending on the geographical area. You
may have a choice of channels (for your region) and
you should use a different channel from an adjacent AP
to reduce the interference. Interference and degrading
performance occurs when radio signal from different
APs overlap.
Radio Power

You can choose the transmission power of the radio
signal. The default one is 100%. It is recommended to
choose the default value100%.

Field Description
Encryption
Configure the wireless encryption mode. You can
choose None, WEP, WPA (TKIP), WPA (AES),
WPA2 (AES), WPA2 (TKIP) or WPA2 Mixed.
Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) encrypts
data frames before transmitting over the wireless
network.
Wi-Fi protected access (WPA) is a subset of
the IEEE802.11i security specification draft.
WPA2 Mixed is the collection of WPA and
WPA2 encryption modes. The wireless client
establishes the connection between the modem
through WPA or WPA2.
Key differences between WPA and WEP are in
user authentication and improved data encryption.

You need to enter the username and password
provided by the Radius server when the wireless
client connects the modem.
If the encryption is set to WEP, the modem uses
802.1 X authentication, which is Radius
authentication.

Choose Advanced > Port Triggering. The page shown in the following figure
appears. Port Triggering is a special form of Port Forwarding in which it requires an
outgoing connection before allowing incoming connections on a single or multiple
ports. Port Triggering is mostly used when your computer is behind a NAT router. It
gives more flexibility than static port forwarding because you don't need to set it up
for a specific computer.

This function is used to open ports in your device and redirect data through those
ports to a single PC on your network (WAN-to-LAN traffic). It allows remote users to
access services on your LAN, such as FTP for file transfers or SMTP and POP3 for
e-mail. The device accepts remote requests for these services at your global IP
address. It uses the specified TCP or UDP protocol and port number, and redirects
these requests to the server on your LAN with the LAN IP address you specify.
Note that the specified private IP address must be within the available range of the
subnet where the device is in.

3.3.5 DMZ
DMZ is the abbreviation of the Demilitarized Zone. Since some applications are
not compatible with NAT, the device supports the use of a DMZ IP address for a
single host on the LAN. This IP address is not protected by NAT and it is visible to
agents on the Internet with the correct type of software. Note that any client PC in
the DMZ is exposed to various types of security risks. If you use the DMZ, take
measures (such as client-based virus protection) to protect the remaining client
PCs on your LAN from possible contamination through DMZ.
Choose Advanced > DMZ. The page shown in the following figure appears.
In the DMZ Host IP Address, input the LAN IP address of the LAN computer that
you want to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains its
address automatically using DHCP, then you may want to make a static reservation
on the Setup-->Local Network-->DHCP Reserved page so that the IP address of
the DMZ computer does not change.

3.3.10 Dynamic DNS
The device supports dynamic domain name service (DDNS). The dynamic DNS
service allows a dynamic public IP address to be associated with a static host
name in any of the many domains, and allows access to a specified host from
various locations on the Internet. Click a hyperlinked URL in the form of
hostname.dyndns.org and allow remote access to a host. Many ISPs assign public
IP addresses using DHCP, so locating a specific host on the LAN using the
standard DNS is difficult. For example, if you are running a public web server or
VPN server on your LAN, DDNS ensures that the host can be located from the
Internet even if the public IP address changes. DDNS requires that an account be

3.3.11 Network Tools
The router provides following tools: Port Mapping, IGMP Proxy, IP QoS, UPnP,
SNMP, TR-069, Software Forbidden, ARP Binding and Client Limit.
3.3.11.1 Port Mapping
Port Mapping supports a single (LAN) port or multiple (LAN) ports to be formed as
a group and mapped to a PVC (which is associated w/ a VLAN). As a result, each
group of LAN ports will perform as an independent (logical) network (like a
broadcast domain) among whom traffic broadcast would be prevented. This feature
is useful while you would like to form multiple independent (logical) networks for
multimedia applications at home. For instance, you can map PVC1 to port 1~3 to
create a network (broadcast domain) for PCs for Internet, and map PVC2 to port 4
to create another network (broadcast domain) for IPTV service (devices). By using
this feature (w/ multiple PVCs), data traffic and IPTV traffic would not affect each
other.
Choose Advanced > Network Tools > Port Mapping. The Port Mapping
Configuration page shown in the following figure appears.

3.3.11.2 IGMP Proxy
IGMP allows support for efficient multicasting -- transmission of identical content,
such as multimedia, from a source to a number of recipients. IGMP proxy enables
the system to issue IGMP host messages on behalf of hosts that the system
discovered through standard IGMP interfaces. The system acts as a proxy for its
hosts when you enable it.
