transferred by radio signals in the air will become unreadable for those
people who don’t know correct encryption key (encryption password).
Besides security settings, you can also configure the access policy to filter
the clients to connect to the access point.
You can click ‘Security Settings’ on the left of web management interface,
and the following web page will be displayed:
There are three types of security levels you can select: Disable (no
security - data encryption disabled), WEP, and WPA2 Pre-shared Key.
Please refer to the following sections for detailed instructions.
Note: To be able to use Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) features
(refer to Section 2-8), it is required that you enable the WPA2
34
Please remember it’s very important to set wireless security settings
properly! Without a proper setting, hackers and intruders may gain access
to your local network and do something bad to your computers and
servers, which could cause serious problem.
There are several things you can do to improve wireless security:
1. Always enable data encryption. Only disable it when you want to open
your wireless access point to the public.
2. Never use simple words as encryption password. Use the random
combination of symbols, numbers, and alphabets will greatly improve
security.
3. Use WPA when possible - it's much safer than WEP.
4. Change encryption password when you’ve used it for too long time.
35
2-7-1 Disable Security

changes will take effect after about 30 seconds.
36
2-7-2 WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a common encryption mode, it’s safe
enough for home and personal use. But if you need higher level of
security, please consider using WPA encryption (see next Section).
However, some wireless clients don’t support WPA, but only support
WEP, so WEP is still a good choice for you if you have such kind of
client in your network environment.
When you select ‘WEP’ as encryption type, the following messages will
be displayed:

4-3 Glossary
Default Gateway (Access point): Every non-access point IP device needs to
configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if
the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its
default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives
every computer on your home network an IP address.
DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows
Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www.Broadbandaccess point.com)
and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database
of Internet servers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a
domain name is requested (as in typing "Broadbandaccess point.com" into your
Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address
used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your
ISP has assigned to you.
DSL Modem: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your
existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.
Ethernet: A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by
special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second
(Mbps).
Idle Timeout: Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to the Internet
for a pre-configured amount of time, the connection will automatically be
disconnected.
IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP
address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that identifies a
single, unique Internet computer host in an IP network. Example: 192.168.2.1. It
consists of 2 portions: the IP network address, and the host identifier.
The IP address is a 32-bit binary pattern, which can be represented as four cascaded
decimal numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each “aaa” can be anything
from 000 to 255, or as four cascaded binary numbers separated by “.”:
bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb, where each “b” can either be 0 or 1.
A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive leading
67
1’s followed by consecutive trailing 0’s, such as
11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can
also be described simply as “x” number of leading 1’s.
When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address
that correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and
the remaining bits correspond to the host ID.
For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is,
11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000
It means the device’s network address is
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is,
00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method
for access points to route IP packets to their destination.
ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP
address for the Internet access point located at the ISP's office.
ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the
Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.
LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected
together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network
is considered a LAN.
MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the
hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique
identifier for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes
of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus
3 bytes that are often used as the product’s serial number.
NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your
home network to use one IP address. Using the broadband access point’s NAT
capability, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network
without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.
Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network
application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and
protocol/port numbers:
68

PPPoE: Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a secure
data transmission method originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for
Ethernet connections. PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards, Ethernet and
the Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a communications protocol for transmitting
information over Ethernet between different manufacturers
Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple
parties so that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the
interpretation of their behavior is well defined and can be made objectively, without
confusion or misunderstanding.
Access point: An access point is an intelligent network device that forwards packets
between different networks based on network layer address information such as IP
addresses.
Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information
provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an
IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular
network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which
must be assigned by InterNIC).
TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and
69
Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data
transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP
performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the
other hand is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a
network layer protocol.
WAN: Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in
geographically separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet
is a wide area network.
Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI): Many devices support a
graphical user interface that is based on the web browser. This means the user can use
the familiar Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer to Control/configure or monitor
the device being managed.
