5WLAN CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes wireless configuration on the ADSL Router. The unit
contains an onboard IEEE 802.11b/g/n access point (AP), which provides
wireless data communications between the router and wireless devices.
WLAN Configuration contains the following sections:
◆“WLAN Basic Settings” on page 55
◆“Advanced Settings” on page 57
◆“Wireless Security Setup” on page 59

WLAN BASIC SETTINGS
The unit’s access point can function in one of three modes, mixed
802.11b/g, 802.11b only, or 802.11g only. Also note that 802.11g is
backward compatible with 802.11b at slower data rates.
Note that the unit supports two virtual access point (VAP) interfaces.
Figure 20: WLAN Basic Settings
The following items are displayed on this page:
◆Disable Wireless LAN Interface — Disables the Wireless LAN
interface. (Default: Enabled)
◆Band — Defines the radio mode. (Default: 2.4Ghz (B+G))
◆Mode — The unit can function as an access point alone, allowing
connection to wireless clients, or both access point and WDS (wireless
distribution system), allowing WDS transparent bridging between APs.
(Default: AP+WDS)
◆SSID — The service set identifyer for the access point.
(Default: SMC)
◆Channel Width — The router provides a channel bandwidth of 40 MHz
by default giving an 802.11g connection speed of 108 Mbps
(sometimes referred to as Turbo Mode) and a 802.11n connection
speed of up to 150 Mbps. Setting the HT Channel Bandwidth to 20 MHz
slows connection speed for 802.11g and 802.11n to 54 Mbps and 74

Mbps respectively and ensures backward compliance for slower
802.11b devices. (Default: 40MHz)
◆Control Sideband — Specifies if the extension channel should be in
the Upper or Lower sideband. When a 40MHz channel bandwidth has
been set, the extension channel option will be enabled in the upper or
lower sideband. The extension channel allows you to get extra
bandwidth.
◆Channel Number — The radio channel that the ADSL Router uses to
communicate with wireless clients. When multiple access points are
deployed in the same area, set the channel on neighboring access
points at least five channels apart to avoid interference with each other.
For example, you can deploy up to three access points in the same area
using channels 1, 6, 11. Note that wireless clients automatically set the
channel to the same as that used by the ADSL Router to which it is
linked. (Default: Auto; Range: 1~11)
◆Radio Power (percent) — Adjusts the power of the radio signals
transmitted from the access point. The higher the transmission power,
the farther the transmission range. Power selection is not just a trade
off between coverage area and maximum supported clients. You also
have to ensure that high-power signals do not interfere with the
operation of other radio devices in the service area. (Default: 100%;
Range: 100%, 80%, 50%, 25%, 10%)
◆Associated Clients — Opens a window that displays information on
current connected wireless clients.

ADVANCED SETTINGS
The advanced radio configuration settings are described in the page that
follows.
Figure 21: Wireless Security Setup - Advanced Settings
The following items are displayed on this page:
◆Authentication Type — Sets the basic authentication method.
◆Fragment Threshold — Configures the minimum packet size that can
be fragmented when passing through the wireless interface.
Fragmentation of the PDUs (Package Data Unit) can increase the
reliability of transmissions because it increases the probability of a
successful transmission due to smaller frame size. If there is significant
interference present, or collisions due to high network utilization, try
setting the fragment size to send smaller fragments. This will speed up
the retransmission of smaller frames. However, it is more efficient to
set the fragment size larger if very little or no interference is present
because it requires overhead to send multiple frames. (Range: 256-
2346 bytes; Default: 2346 bytes)
◆RTS Threshold — Sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to
Send (RTS) signal must be sent to a receiving station prior to the
sending station starting communications. The wireless interface sends
RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate the sending of a data
frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station sends a CTS (clear to
send) frame to notify the sending station that it can start sending data.
◆Beacon Interval — The rate at which beacon signals are transmitted
from the wireless interface. The beacon signals allow wireless clients to
C
HAPTER

| WLAN Configuration
Advanced Settings
– 58 –
maintain contact with the ADSL Router. They may also carry power-
management information. (Range: 20-1000 TUs; Default: 100 TUs)
◆DTIM Interval — The rate at which stations in sleep mode must wake
up to receive broadcast/multicast transmissions.
Known also as the Delivery Traffic Indication Map (DTIM) interval, it
indicates how often the MAC layer forwards broadcast/multicast traffic,
which is necessary to wake up stations that are using Power Save
mode. The default value of one beacon indicates that the access point
will save all broadcast/multicast frames for the Basic Service Set (BSS)
and forward them after every beacon. Using smaller DTIM intervals
delivers broadcast/multicast frames in a more timely manner, causing
stations in Power Save mode to wake up more often and drain power
faster. Using higher DTIM values reduces the power used by stations in
Power Save mode, but delays the transmission of broadcast/multicast
frames. (Range: 1-255 beacons; Default: 1 beacon)
◆Data Rate — The maximum data rate at which the wireless interface
transmits multicast and broadcast packets. (Options: Auto, 1, 2, 5.5,
11, 6, 9, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps; Default: Auto)
◆Preamble Type — Sets the length of the signal preamble that is used
at the start of a data transmission. (Default: Long)
■Long Preamble: Sets the preamble to long (192 microseconds).
Using a long preamble ensures the wireless interface can support all
802.11b and 802.11g clients.
■Short Preamble: Sets the preamble according to the capability of
clients that are currently asscociated. Uses a short preamble (96
microseconds) if all associated clients can support it, otherwise a
long preamble is used. The wireless interface can increase data
throughput when using a short preamble, but will only use a short
preamble if it determines that all associated clients support it.
◆Broadcast SSID — Enables/disables the wireless interface to
broadcast an SSID (service set identifier) to uniquely identify it on the
network.
◆Aggregation — This option enables Mac Service Data Unit (MSDU)
aggregation. (Default: Enabled)
◆Short GI — The guard interval between symbols helps receivers
overcome the effects of multipath delays. You can enable a short
interval to increase throughput. (Default: Enabled)

multiple subnets. This router supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and can be
managed through either of these address types.
IPv6 includes two distinct address types – link-local unicast and global
unicast. A link-local address makes the router accessible over IPv6 for all
devices attached to the same local subnet. However, to connect to a larger
network with multiple segments, the router must be configured with a
global unicast address.

DHCP RELAY Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can dynamically allocate an
IP address and other configuration information to network clients that
broadcast a request. To receive the broadcast request, the DHCP server
would normally have to be on the same subnet as the client. However,
when the access point’s DHCP relay agent is enabled, received client
requests can be forwarded directly by the access point to a known DHCP
server on another subnet. Responses from the DHCP server are returned to
the access point, which then broadcasts them back to clients.

CHANNEL CONFIGURATION
The Channel Configuration page configures channel operation modes of the
ADSL Router.
Figure 41: WAN Configuration
The following items are displayed on this page:
◆Default Route Selection – Enables the default route to be specified or
selected automatically.
◆VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) – A grouping of virtual channels which
connect the same end-points, and which share a traffic allocation.
◆VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) – A specific virtual channel connecting
two end-points.
◆Encapsulation:
■LLC (Logical Link Control) – This encapsulation method allows
multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual
connection. In some cases, the LLC header is followed by a SNAP
header which uniquely identifies a routed or bridged protocol. (This
is the default packet encapsulation format used for carrying IP
datagrams over AAL5 ATM.)

■VC/MUX (Virtual Circuit Multiplexing) – When using this mode, the
communicating hosts agree on the high-level protocol for a given
circuit, which tends to reduce fragmentation overhead. This allows a
sender to pass each datagram directly to AAL5 for transfer, and
requires nothing to be sent besides the datagram and the AAL5
trailer. The chief disadvantage of this scheme is that a host must
create a separate virtual circuit for each high-level protocol if more
than one protocol is used. Because most carriers charge for each
virtual circuit, customers try to avoid using multiple circuits because
it adds unnecessary cost.
◆Channel Mode — The protocol used on the channel, as specified by
the service provider. Choose from the following options:
■1483 Bridged — The Bridged RFC 1483 Encapsulated Traffic over
ATM feature allows you to send bridged RFC 1483 encapsulated
packets over ATM switched virtual circuits (SVCs).
■1483 MER — 1483 MER is an RFC standard MAC Encapsulated
Routing protocol.
■PPPoE — Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE).
■PPPoA — Point-to-Point Protocol over Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(PPPoA).
■1483 Routed — Allows you to send routed RFC 1483 encapsulated
packets over ATM switched virtual circuits (SVCs).
■IPoA — Dynamic IP over ATM (IPoA).
◆Enabled NAPT — Enables Network Address Port Translation for the
channel.
◆Enable IGMP — Enables IGMP for the channel.
◆PPP Settings — Configures settings for PPPoE and PPPoA modes.
■User Name — The PPP access user name provided by the ISP.

ADSL SETTINGS
The ADSL Settings page configures the ADSL modulation type, ADSL2+
related parameters, capabilities and the ADSL tone mask.
Figure 43: ATM Settings
The following items can be enabled on this page:
◆ADSL Modulation — ADSL Modulation refers to a frequency-division
multiplexing (FDM) scheme utilized as a digital multi-carrier
modulation method for DSL. A large number of closely-spaced
orthogonal sub-carriers are used to carry data. The data is divided into
several parallel data streams or channels, one for each sub-carrier.
Each sub-carrier is modulated with a conventional modulation scheme
(such as G.lite, ADSL2, etc. or more commonly ADSL2+).
■G.lite — A standard that defines the more economical splitterless
ADSL connection that transmits data at up to 1.5 Mbps downstream
and 512 Kbps upstream. This ADSL option can be installed without
an on-site visit by the service provider.
■G.dmt — A standard that defines full-rate ADSL, and utilizes
Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT) signaling to transmit data at up to 8
Mbps downstream and 640 Kbps upstream.
■T1.413 — ANSI standard that defines the requirements for ADSL
for the interface between the telecommunications network and the
customer installation in terms of their interaction and electrical
characteristics. (The Gateway complies with Issue 2 of this
standard.)
C

■ADSL2 — This standard extends the capability of basic ADSL data
rates to 12 Mbit/s downstream and 3 Mbit/s upstream (with a
mandatory capability of ADSL2 transceivers of 8 Mbit/s downstream
and 800 Kbit/s upstream.
■ADSL2+ — This standard extends the capability of basic ADSL data
rates to 24 Mbit/s downstream and 1.4 Mbit/s upstream depending
on the distance from the DSLAM to the customer's home.
◆AnnexL Option — Annex L is an optional specification in the ITU-T
ADSL2 recomendation G.992.3 titled “Specific requirements for a Reach
Extended ADSL2 (READSL2) system operating in the frequency band
above POTS.” It is often referred to as Reach Extended ADSL2 or
READSL2. Once enabled AnnexL increases the range of DSL service,
enabling the link to work at a distance of 7 kilometers, or 23,000 feet.
◆AnnexM Option — Annex M is an optional specification in ITU-T
recomendations G.992.3 (ADSL2) and G.992.5 (ADSL2+), also referred
to as ADSL2 M and ADSL2+ M. This specification extends the capability
of commonly deployed Annex A by more than doubling the number of
upstream bits.
Once enabled AnnexM increases upload speeds by the shifting the
upstream/downstream frequency split from 138 kHz up to 276 kHz,
allowing the maximum upstream bandwidth to be increased from 1.4
Mbit/s to 3.3 Mbit/s.
◆ADSL Capability — ADSL Capability refers to means of manipulating
the bit loading of a connection to increase quality of signal or
transmission rate.
■Bitswap — Enables bit swapping. Bit swapping is a way of
swapping the bit-loading of a noisy tone with another tone in the
symbol which is not as noisy. The bit loading from a specific tone
can be increased or decreased. In addition, the TX power can be
increased or decreased for a specific tone. However, there is no
change in the overall payload rate after the bit swap operation.
■SRA — Enables seamless rate adaptation to set the optimal
transmission rate based on existing line conditions.

NAT/NAPT Settings
– 97 –
NAT/NAPT SETTINGS
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a standard method of mapping
multiple “internal” IP addresses to one “external” IP address on devices at
the edge of a network. For the router, the internal (local) IP addresses are
the IP addresses assigned to local PCs by the DHCP server, and the
external IP address is the IP address assigned to the specified WAN
interface.
The NAT function on the router enables the support of Virtual Servers, Port
Triggering, and other features.
Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet
telephony and others, require multiple connections. These applications
may not work with Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled. If you need
to run applications that require multiple connections, use Port Triggering to
specify the additional public ports to be opened for each application.
Alternatively, you can open up a client to unrestricted two-way Internet
access by defining it as DMZ (demilitarized-zone) host.
VIRTUAL SERVERS Using the NAT Virtual Server feature, remote users can access different
servers on your local network using your single public IP address.
Remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site
thorugh your public IP address, are redirected (mapped) to other local
server IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers. For example, if you set
Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to
192.168.7.9/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users forwarded to
192.168.7.9 on port 80. Therefore, by just using your external IP address
provided by your ISP, Internet users can access the services they need at
the local addresses to which you redirect them.
The more common TCP service port numbers include: HTTP: 80, FTP: 21,
Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110. Up to 32 entries can be configured in the
Virtual Servers table.

domain, or server with repeated external communincation requests,
effectively saturating the system with an information flood that renders it
slow or effectively inoperable for genuine users to access it. DoS attacks
are also referred to as non-intrusion attacks, the goal of which is to cripple
your system but not steal data.
The DoS Settings on the router enable the user to block many of the
common DoS attacks a network might suffer.

The following items are displayed on this page:
◆Enable DoS Blocking — Activates the DoS check boxes and
configurable parameters associated with them. (Default: Disabled)
■Whole System Flood: SYN: Prevents a SYN (synchronise) attack
in which the process of the common three way TCP handshake is
interupted and the acknowledge response gets sent to a maicious IP

■Whole System Flood: FIN: Prevents a FIN (no more data from
sender) flood in which part of a TCP packet from an invalid (or
spoofed) IP address floods the network with connection resets.
■Whole System Flood: UDP: Prevents a flood of large numbers of
raw UDP (User Datagram Protocol) packets targeted at the unit.
■Whole System Flood: ICMP: Prevents a flood of ICMP (internet
control message protocol) messages from an invalid IP address
causing all TCP requests to be halted.
■Per Source IP Flood: SYN: Prevents a SYN attach on a specified
IP address, usually that of the LAN port.
■Per Source IP Flood: FIN: Prevents a FIN attach on the LAN port
IP address.
■Per Source IP Flood: UDP: Prevents a UDP attack on the LAN port
IP address.
■Per Source IP Flood: ICMP: Prevents an ICMP attack on the LAN
port IP address.
■TCP/UDP Port Scan: Prevents a situation whereby a hacker sends
a series of systematic queries to the unit for open ports through
which to route traffic.
■TCMP Smurf: Prevents a situation whereby a hacker forges the IP
address of the unit and sends repeated ping requests to it flooding
the network.
■IP Land: Prevents an attack that involves a synchronise request
being sent as part of the TCP handshake to an open port specifying
the port as both the source and destination effectively locking the
port.
■IP Spoof: Prevents a situation where a hackerby a hacker creates
an alias (spoof) of the units IP address to which all traffic is
redirected.
■IP Teardrop: Prevents a Teardrop attack that involves sending
mangled IP fragments with overlapping, over-sized, payloads to the
unit. The fragmented packets are processed by the unit causing it to
crash.
■PingofDeath: Prevents the receival of an oversized ping packet
that the unit cannot handle. Normal ping packets are 56 bytes, or
84 bytes with the IP header attached. The Ping of Death will exceed
the maximum IP packet size of 65,535 bytes.

IGMP PROXY CONFIGURATION
Multicasting is useful when the same data needs to be sent to more than
one host. Using multicasting as opposed to sending the same data to the
individual hosts uses less network bandwidth. The multicast feature also
enables you to receive multicast video stream from multicast servers.
IP hosts use Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) to report their
multicast group memberships to neighboring routers. Similarly, multicast
routers use IGMP to discover which of their hosts belong to multicast
groups. This device supports IGMP proxy that handles IGMP messages.
When enabled, this device acts as a proxy for a LAN host making requests
to join and leave multicast groups, or a multicast router sending multicast
packets to multicast group on the WAN side.
When you enable IGMP Proxy, make sure IGMP is also enabled on the WAN
interface (upstream) that connects to a router running IGMP. You must also
enable IGMP on the LAN interface (downstream) that is connected to hosts.

RIP CONFIGURATION
RIP is an Internet protocol you can set up to share routing table
information with other routing devices on your LAN, at your ISP’s location,
or on remote networks connected to your network via the ADSL line. Most
small home or office networks do not need to use RIP; they have only one
router, such as the router, and one path to an ISP. In these cases, there is
no need to share routes, because all Internet data from the network is sent
to the same ISP gateway.

The following items are displayed on this pages:
◆RIP — Enables or disables RIP on the unit. (Default: Disabled)
◆Interface — The name of the interface on which you want to enable

ARP Binding Configuration
– 114 –
ARP BINDING CONFIGURATION
The router uses its tables to make routing decisions, and uses Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) to forward traffic from one hop to the next. ARP
is used to map an IP address to a physical layer MAC address. When an IP
frame is received by the router, it first looks up the MAC address
corresponding to the destination IP address in the ARP cache. If the
address is found, the router writes the MAC address into the appropriate
field in the frame header, and forwards the frame on to the next hop. IP
traffic passes along the path to its final destination in this way, with each
routing device mapping the destination IP address to the MAC address of
the next hop toward the recipient, until the packet is delivered to its final
destination.
For devices that do not respond to ARP requests or do not respond in a
timely manner, traffic will be dropped because the IP address cannot be
mapped to a MAC address. If this occurs, you can use ARP Binding to
manually map an IP address to the corresponding MAC address in the ARP
cache.
Figure 65: ARP Binding Configuration
The following items are displayed on this pages:
◆IP Address – IP address statically mapped to a physical MAC address.
(Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by
periods, and must match a known network interface)
◆MAC Address – MAC address statically mapped to the corresponding
IP address. (Valid MAC addresses are hexadecimal numbers in the
format: xxxxxxxxxxxx)

BRIDGE SETTING
This feature allows you to set the bridge aging time and to enable
Spanning Tree.
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can be used to detect and disable
network loops, and to provide backup links between bridges. This allows a
wireless bridge to interact with other bridging devices (that is, an STP-
compliant switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure that only one
route exists between any two stations on the network, and provide backup
links which automatically take over when a primary link goes down.

Traceroute
– 128 –
TRACEROUTE
Traceroute discovers the routes that packets take when traveling to a
destination. Traceroute works by taking advantage of the error messages
generated by routers when a packet exceeds its time-to-live (TTL) value.
The traceroute command first sends probe datagrams with the TTL value
set at one. This causes the first router to discard the datagram and return
an error message. The trace function then sends several probe messages
at each subsequent TTL level and displays the roundtrip time for each
message. Not all devices respond correctly to probes by returning an “ICMP
port unreachable” message. If the timer goes off before a response is
returned, the trace function prints a series of asterisks and the “Request
Timed Out” message. A long sequence of these messages, terminating only
when the maximum timeout has been reached, may indicate this problem
with the target device. A trace terminates when the destination responds,
when the maximum timeout (TTL) is exceeded, or the maximum number of
hops is exceeded.

CCABLES AND PINOUTS
TWISTED-PAIR CABLE ASSIGNMENTS
For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs
of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have
four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For
example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes.
Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
N
OTE
:
Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific
orientation.
C
AUTION
:
DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into the RJ-45 port. Use
only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC
standards.
The following figure illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are
numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when
attaching the wires to the pins.

10/100BASE-TX PIN ASSIGNMENTS
Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for
RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps
connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection
does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
The RJ-45 port on the router supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so
you can use straight-through or crossover cables for all network
connections to PCs, switches, or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2,
3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1,
2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable.
STRAIGHT-THROUGH WIRING
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has
an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-
through. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this
gateway, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect
to any device type.)

crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (When auto-negotiation is
enabled for any RJ-45 port on this gateway, you can use either straight-
through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.)

RJ-11 PORT
Standard telephone RJ-11 connectors and cabling can be found in several
common wiring patterns. These six-pin connectors can accommodate up to
three wire-pairs (three telephone lines), but usually only one or two pairs
of conductor pins and wires are implemented.
The RJ-11 port on this device contains one wire-pair, an inner pair on pins
3 and 4. This wire-pair carries the digital data.
