Advanced Settings
In this chapter, details for configuring the advanced settings of the AirCruiser G
Wireless Router are explained.
The Network Configuration Screen
The Network Configuration screen consists of two sub-areas: LAN
Configuration (which also includes DHCP Options, and Forced IP-MAC
Mapping), and WAN Configuration in which you can configure up to 4 backup
WAN connections (other internet service providers accounts) in the event your
primary WAN connection fails.
The LAN Configuration Tab
Figure 6-1 – LAN Config Screen
14
LAN Configuration
Allows you to modify the LAN parameters, and if you want to enable DHCP
automatic IP address assignments, you can enable it here, and specify a
Start and End address for the IP range.
DHCP Option
The DHCP server "leases" out address for specific times (Time To Live) to
the various hosts. If a host does not use a given address for some period
of time, that IP address can then be assigned to another machine. When
assignments are made or changed, the DHCP server must update the
information in the DNS server. The AirCruiser G DHCP Lease Table
displays the associated IP/MAC assignment and Time To Lease.
Force IP-MAC Mapping
Allows you to manually assign a specific IP address to a specific network
device (MAC address) on the network. This will be updated in the ARP
table automatically.
Verify the settings, and then apply these to your router, click the Submit button.

The Wireless Configuration Screen
The Wireless Configuration screen allows you to configure the Router’s
WLAN function.
The 802.11g Tab
Figure 6-6 – 802.11g Main Config Page
Region
Indicates the geographical region you are in. Verify that the region
indicated is correct. If not, please contact your local distributor or dealer
immediately.
802.11g Only Mode
The mixture of both 11b and 11g traffic on your wireless network results
in the reduction of the network performance. For this reason, the
802.11g Only Mode allows you to restrict all traffic to 11g (54Mbps)
traffic only. Keep in mind, however that enabling this feature comes at
the expense of eliminating all 11b based traffic by the AirCruiser G.
Enable will restrict all traffic to 802.11g traffic, while disable will allow a
mixture of both 11b and 11g. The default setting is Disable.
20
Auto Channel Select
The Router uses channel 6 as the default channel. Enabling Auto
Channel Select allows the Router to auto-select a non-conflicting
channel.
Channel
The channel may be manually changed (if there are other wireless
networks operating in your area) by selecting a channel from the
drop-down list.
SSID
The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name of your wireless network.
The SSID is up to 32 ASCII characters in length and case sensitive (i.e.
Letters in upper case “A~Z” and lower case “a~z” are unique). The
default SSID is “GIGABYTE”. To change the SSID, type in the SSID you
want to use in the SSID field and click Submit. If you make a change to
the SSID, any wireless devices on your network must also be
reconfigured to connect to the new network name.
Rate
Select a wireless data transmission rate from the drop- down list. The
default setting auto/best automatically detects and sets the optimum
transmission rate.
Hidden SSID
For security purposes, you may choose to hide your network’s SSID by
selecting enable from the drop-down list. This will prevent computers
scanning for the presence of wireless networks to detect your network
name. The default setting is disable.
Authentication Type
Select an authentication type from the drop-down list. The default setting
is Open System.
Open System: The sender and the receiver do NOT share a secret key.
Each party generates its own key-pair and asks the receiver to accept a
randomly generated key. Once accepted, this key will only be used for a
short period of time. Afterwards, a new key will be generated and agreed
upon.
Shared Key: Authentication is based upon a secret key shared by both
the sender and the receiver. If Shared Key is selected, you cannot
choose the WEP disable option.
21
WPA Pre-shared key:, The WPA Pre-shared Key authentication
standard uses a password or “ key” between 8 and 32 characters. This
encryption key is changed after every dialog box using the Temporary
Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which allows users to change keys based
on dialog box and automatically synchronize keys between devices on
the network. The TKIP encryption algorithm is stricter than the one
used by WEP but is based on the same standard.
WPA: The 802.1x authentication protocol, allows users to authenticate
wireless network access through a RADIUS Server and is a required by
WPA standard. If no RADIUS Server exists in your network environment,
you still can use WPA through the use of WPA Pre-shared Key.
WEP Key
The AirCruiser G supports two WEP standards: 64-bit,152-bit. Select
either 64-bits or 152-bits from the drop-down list activate WEP
encryption. The 64-bits encryption uses 40 bits as a secret key,
(user-defined) and the remaining 24 bits are reserved. The 128-bits
encryption uses 104 bits as a secret key, (user-defined) and the
remaining 24 bits are reserved.
WPA Re-key
Enabling the requirement for WPA rekeying of a Passphrase for
increased security. Default is disable.
WEP Re-key Timer
Specify time (in minutes) for expiration of the current WPA Key.
WPA PSK Passphrase
The Passphrase must be between 8 and 64 characters.
WPA PSK Re-key
A user without a RADIUS server, may specify generating a new WPA
PSK key more frequently than each time he connects to the network.
WPA PSK Re-key Timer
Specify time (in minutes) for expiration of the current WPA PSK key
22
The MAC Access Control Tab
Figure 6-7 – MAC Access Control
The MAC Access Control screen allows you to specify the Media Access
Controller (MAC) address of up to 32 devices on your network. Only those
devices listed in the table will have access to transmit data through the
AirCruiser G. In this way, even if someone manages to obtain all the
information necessary to connect to your network, if their MAC address is not
permitted, they still cannot connect. Keep in mind, however that MAC
addresses can be spoofed, so it is not a panacea but rather another component
of your existing security process. Enable the feature, then key in the MAC
addresses to be allowed. Enter the MAC in the form separated by colon.
The default setting is Disable.
23
The RADIUS Server Configuration Tab
Figure 6-8 – RADIUS Config
Your AirCruiser G supports 802.1x and RADIUS Server authentication.
RADIUS provides a centralized, server-based authentication of client access to
the network.
RADIUS Server IP
Assign an IP address for the RADIUS Server.
RADIUS Server Port
Enter a value within the range 1~65536 for the
port.
Shared Secret
Enter a password up to 256 characters
(uppercase “A~Z”, lowercase “a~z” or numeric
“0~9”) in length.
Verify the settings, and then to apply these to your network, click the Submit
button.
24
The Static Routing Table Screen
The Static Routing Table displays the AirCruiser G Wireless Router routing
settings. To add or modify, enter a value into the field and click the Submit
button.
Figure 6-9 – Static Routing Table
Destination IP
Enter the Destination IP address that will be assigned to a specific network
or host.
Netmask
Enter the netmask associated with the Destination IP.
Gateway
Enter an IP address that will be assigned to the interface connecting to
subnets.
Metric
The “Metric” value is a number between 1 and 15 that represents the
number of Routers between your network and the destination. Generally,
setting the Metric value as either 2 or 3 is sufficient for most applications. If
this is a direct connection, please set the value to 1.
