II. Quick Setup The Quick Setup will guide you through the steps necessary to configure your DSL Router. DSL Auto-connect If you want your router automatically detect PVC and connect to the network, check the box Auto-connect. The WX-5803 has OAM (Operation, Administration and Management) for network administration and support. It scans PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) using OAM F5 cell starting from 0/32 to 0/60, then 1/32 to 1/60, until the last PVC 8/60 or until it receives OAM response. It skips over established PVCs. When an OAM response is received, WX-5803 will try to establish a connection. The following sequence is typical of a network protocol and encapsulation your router will try to use:  PPPoE with LLC encapsulation
 PPPoA with VC-MUX encapsulation  PPPoA with LLC encapsulation If one fails, the router will try the next. If all these connections fail, it will try next PVC. If the responding PVC is not PPPoE or PPPoA, it will choose the first responding PVC and run in Bridging connection type with LLC encapsulation. If no PVC responds to OAM, the router will use the default settings 0/35 and run in Bridging connection type with LLC encapsulation. Setup DSL Connection Manually If the ISP doesn't support the Auto-connect, you have to setup the DSL connection manually. Specify the values for VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier). For the following steps to create a DSL connection, please refer to the next section Advanced Setup. After you complete the DSL connection settings, a Wireless – Setup page will appear. Enter a desired name in SSID field. This
SSID is a network name that identifies the wireless devices in the network. The default value is WX5803. All workstations and access points must use the same SSID to be able to communicate with one another. The SSID is a 32-character field, and the value is case sensitive. Click Next button. The WAN Setup – Summary page will appear. It displays a summary of all WAN setting profiles. Click Save/Reboot button to save all the settings and reboot the router. Close your Web UI window and wait for about 2 minutes before reopening your web browser.
III. Advanced Setup 1. Click the Advanced Setup tab on the left frame. 2. Click the WAN tab on the left frame. A WAN Setup page will appear on the right frame. Click Add button. 3. The ATM PVC Configuration page will appear. Enter the appropriate VPI and VCI values. Select appropriate Service Category. Click Next. PVC is identified by the VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier). Consult your ISP to get the numbers. The valid range for the VPI number is from 0 to 255 (The default value is 0.). The valid range for the VCI number is from 32 to 65535 (The default value is 35). There are five service categories provided: UBR Without PCR, UBR With PCR, CBR, Non Realtime VBR, and Realtime VBR. 4. The Connection Type page will appear. There are several ways for the device to have a public IP address and then to access Internet. You have to check with your ISP about
which way is adopted. Check the radio button of your connection type. 5. Scroll down to select the appropriate Encapsulation Type. WX-5803 ADSL router supports the following five network operating modes over an ATM PVC WAN interface:  PPP over ATM (PPPoA)  PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)  MAC Encapsulated Routing (MER)  IP over ATM (IPoA)  Bridging The steps to configure PPP over ATM (PPPoA) are similar to PPPoE. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) 1. Select the PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) radio button and scroll down to select the appropriate Encapsulation Mode. There are two encapsulation types available: LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING and VC/MUX. Then click Next button. 2. In the PPP Username and Password page, enter the user name and password supplied by your ISP in PPP Username and PPP Password fields.
3. Check the box Disconnect if no activity if you want to enable the function of automatic disconnection. It will auto-disconnect the ADSL Router when there is no activity on the line for a period of time. PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service providers. Unless your ISP specifically requires this setup, do NOT select it. The PPP IP Extension supports the following conditions:  Allows only one PC on the LAN  The public IP address assigned by the remote using the PPP/IPCP protocol is actually not used on the WAN PPP interface. Instead, it is forwarded to the PC’s LAN interface through DHCP. Only one PC on the LAN can be connected to the remote since the DHCP server within the ADSL router has only a single IP address to assign to a LAN device.  NAPT and firewall are disabled when this option is selected.  The ADSL router becomes the default gateway and DNS server to the PC through DHCP using the LAN interface IP address.  The ADSL router extends the IP subnet at the remote service provider to the LAN PC. That is, the PC becomes a host belonging to the same IP subnet.  The ADSL router bridges the IP packets between WAN and LAN ports, unless the packet is addressed to the router’s LAN IP address. 4. Click Next button. 5. Check the box Enable IGMP Multicast if you want to enable IGMP multicast. Check the box Enable WAN Service if you
want to enable WAN Service. Click Next. 6. The WAN Setup – Summary page displays a summary of all WAN setting profiles. Click Save button to save all the settings. 7. The WAN Setup page will appear. Click Save/Reboot button. The router will reboot automatically with the new settings in effect.
8. Close your Web UI window and wait for about 2 minutes before reopening your web browser. IP over ATM (IPoA) 1.

Then click Next button. 3. The Network Address Translation Settings page will appear. If you want to enable NAT function, check the box Enable NAT. If NAT is enabled, it will display a NAT submenu on the left panel after reboot. NAT occurs when multiple IP addresses on a private LAN are converted to one public address. This public address is sent out to the Internet. NAT increases security because the IP address for a PC connected to the private LAN is never transmitted to the Internet. NAT also allows xDSL/cable routers to be used with low-cost Internet accounts, where only one TCP/IP address is
provided by the ISP. The user may have many private addresses masked by the single address provided by the ISP. 4. If you want to enable Firewall function, check the box Enable Firewall. If Firewall is enabled, it will display a Firewall submenu on the left panel after reboot. Firewall will rejects any unsolicited data from the Internet to access the computer on your LAN. Basically, if you do not request data, the data will not be allowed by the firewall to pass. 5. If you want to enable IGMP Multicast, check the box Enable IGMP Multicast. If you want to disable it, uncheck the box. 6. The default of WAN service is Enable. If you want to disable WAN service, uncheck the box Enable WAN Service. 7.

3. Enter a desired name in SSID field. 4. Click Apply button. Security The WX-5803 provides advanced mechanism for wireless security. If you want to enable the security mechanism, click the Security tab.  Network Authentication Without implementing security, it is possible for an unauthorized person to intercept your data. It will ensure only authorized users can access the network. Use Network Authentication drop-down list to select the method of wireless security. There are three methods provided: 802.1X, WPA and WPA-PSK. (1) 802.1X 802.1X is an IEEE standard for authenticated network access to wired networks and wireless 802.11 networks. It provides a framework for centralized user identification and authentication, and a key distribution management method. Clients authorized by RADIUS servers can access this WX-5803. To use 802.1X, enter the required values on RADIUS Server IP Address, RADIUS Port and RADIUS Key fields. (2) WPA WPA also adopts an authentication scheme -- via 802.1X. It consists of three main elements: an Authentication Server (typically a RADIUS server), WPA-enabled router or AP (called "Authenticator"), and a WPA-enabled client (called "Supplicant").
To use WPA authentication, enter the required values on WPA Group Rekey Interval, RADIUS Server IP Address, RADIUS Port and RADIUS Key fields. WPA Group Rekey Interval is used to specify the frequency of encryption key rotations. The lower the number, the faster your encryption key will rotate, however, setting this number too low may cause your wireless network to slow down. In WPA, you can select TKIP, or AES or TKIP+AES as data encryption method. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) includes four algorithms: MIC (message integrity check), to protect packets from tampering; PPK (Per-Packet Key) hashing, to prevent weak key attacks; extended IV (initialization vector), to reduce IV reuse and the possibility that a hacker will collect sufficient packets to crack the encryption; and a re-keying mechanism, to change the temporal key dynamically. TKIP is the most commonly used encryption method; however, if your wireless clients do not support TKIP, the WX-5803 also supports AES (Advanced Encryption Security) encryption. AES will replace 802.11's RC4-based encryption under 802.11i specification. (3) WPA-PSK In enterprises, WPA will be used in conjunction with both wireless router and authentication server. In Small Office/ Home Office (SOHO) environment, where there are no authentication servers, user can use pre-shared key (PSK) mode in place of the authentication server. WX-5803 provides WPA running in PSK mode. Enter the following field with the required values. WPA Pre-shared Key WPA Pre-Shared Key (PSK) is a field where the password is entered. All wireless clients must also use this password to
gain access to the network. Note that the Key format must also match the setting for the wireless clients. WPA Group Rekey Interval WPA Group Rekey Interval is used to specify the frequency of encryption key rotations. Data Encryption WPA Encryption has 3 choices: TKIP, or AES or TKIP+AES.  Data Encryption - WEP You can use WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption to protect wireless communications. WEP provides a way of creating an encrypted key that is shared between a wireless client and the router. This key encrypts data before it is transmitted. WEP can be implemented with 64-bit or 128-bit key. 128-bit key is relatively securer than 64-bit key. 1. In Data Encryption, select WEP if you want to enable WEP. 2. Click on the Encryption Strength drop-down list to select appropriate encryption strength. 3. Click on Set Encryption Keys button, and the Wireless Settings – Encryption Keys page will appear.
4. It is possible to enter up to 4 different WEP Keys. The WEP key must match between two parties for secure communications. Enter four different keys in the Network Key fields provided. If you choose 64-bit encryption, enter 5 ASCII characters (or 10 hexadecimal digits). If you choose 128-bit encryption, enter a 13-character (or 26 hexadecimal digits) WEP key. 5. Select only one key out of the four provided in the Current Network Key drop-down list. 6. Click Apply button. Then, the page will return to Wireless – Security page. 7. Click Apply button to apply the settings. MAC Filter This feature prevents specific computers within the LAN from accessing the Internet. To use MAC filter, perform the following steps: 1. Click the MAC Filter tab on the left frame. 2. If you want to grant the computer specified to access the network, check the radio button Allow. If you want to restrict the access, check the radio button Deny. 3. Click Add button. The Wireless – MAC Filter page will appear. 4. Enter the hexadecimal MAC address (for example, 00:11:22:33:44:55) that you allow or deny access in the MAC Address box.
The steps below show how to find the MAC address of the computer in Windows 2000 and XP. 1. Click the Start button, and then click Run. 2. In the Open field, type the following text: cmd 3. Click the OK button. 4. At the command prompt, type the following text to obtain the Physical Address (MAC address): ipconfig/all 5. Click Apply button. The page will return to the Wireless – MAC Filter page.
