Chapter 1 – Introduction
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 19
Sophisticated Firewall and Advanced Security
Integrated with sophisticated firewall functionalities including a stateful packet inspection firewall, hacker pattern detection, IP and
MAC address filtering and other security features help protect the entire enterprise network from attacks and other Internet security
risks. In addition, the advanced wireless security offers a strong level of protection for the wireless connection by 128-bit enhanced
encryption (Wireless Protected Access) with TKIP/AES encryption for better security, along with 64/128-bits static and dynamic
WEP encryption for legacy clients.
Virtual AP technology
BW1230 supports multiple BSSIDs, so-called Virtual AP which delivers multiple services from one piece of hardware. It can create
up to 3 virtual AP with different wireless security settings respectively, allowing different users to access the services they need (e.g.,
guests only get Internet access). It prevents non-authorized users from logging on enterprise network in terms of confidentiality of
company information.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 20
stateful packet inspection firewall:
A stateful firewall (any firewall that performs stateful packet inspection or stateful inspection) is a firewall that
keeps track of the state of network connections (such as TCP streams, UDP communication) travelling across it. The
firewall is programmed to distinguish legitimate packets for different types of connections. Only packets matching a
known connection state will be allowed by the firewall; others will be rejected.
TKIP:
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is a security protocol used in Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).
TKIP ensures that every data packet is sent with its own unique encryption key.
AES:
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a block cipher adopted as an encryption standard by the U.S. government.
And a block cipher is a symmetric key cipher which operates on fixed-length groups of bits.

BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 83
depending on your networking vendor. By default the Router

Wireless Settings | Encryption
The Router offers two methods of encryption for greater
wireless network security：
WPA — Wi-Fi Protected Access.
WPA is an enhancement over WEP and will strongly
increase the level of data protection and access control
on your wireless network.
WPA allows you to encrypt the switched packet in
network between your Wireless PC and the Router.
The default value of security mode is disable.
WPA allows you to configure：
1. Type
There are three types of WPA methods available：
Manual Pre-Shared Key, Pre-Shared Passphrase and
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 84
Enterprise Mode. Use the WPA Type box to select the
desired type.
2. Manual Pre-Shared Key
A Key is a hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) number used to
encrypt and decrypt the data. There is only one key
available, which are 63 digits long. Each wireless PC
client using WPA must be configured to have the exact
same Key; otherwise the client will be unable to
connect. Manual Pre-Shared Keys provide the greatest
combination of possible Keys, which provides greater
security to the wireless network.
3. Pre-Shared Passphrase
The Router also offers a method for converting plain
text into hex keys. The Passphrase is much easier to
remember than the hex key but it relies on your
wireless adapters also supporting this feature. The
Passphrase limits the possible number of key
combinations and it is recommended that users enter
text containing 20 characters or more. The text entered
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 85
must be greater than 8 characters and shorter than 64
characters.
4. Enterprise Mode
Allows Enterprise-level User Authentication via 802.1x
and EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). This
framework utilizes a central authentication server, such
as RADIUS, to authenticate each user on the network
before they join it.
This option features a WPA used in coordination with a
RADIUS server that uses either EAP-TLS or PEAP as
its authentication method. (This should only be used
when a RADIUS server is connected to the Router.)
First, select the type of encryption method you want to
use, TKIP or AES. Enter the RADIUS servers IP
address and port number, along with the authentication
key shared by the Router and the server. Last, enter
the Key Renewal period, which instructs the Router
how often it should change the encryption keys.
WEP — Wired Equivalent Privacy.
Wired Equivalent Privacy or WEP allows you to encrypt
the traffic between your Wireless PC and the Router.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 86
WEP Encryption allows you to configure：
Wireless Encryption Type
There are two levels of encryption available, 64 bit
(sometimes referred to as 40 bit) and 128 bit
(sometimes referred to as 104 bit). 128 bit WEP is
more secure than 64 bit. Use the Wireless
Encryption Type box to select the desired level.
Key Generation Method
A Key is a hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) number used to
encrypt and decrypt the data. There can be up to 4
keys and each key can be as long as 26 digits. The
Router also offers a number of methods for
converting plain text into hex keys. The text is much
easier to remember than hex keys but it relies on
your wireless adapters also supporting this feature.
Different manufacturers have developed different
ways of converting plain text and so interoperability
is not guaranteed. If you are experiencing difficulty,
the Manual Hex Key method is supported by most
vendors.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 87
The Router supports 4 methods to specify the WEP
Keys：
○
1 Manual Hex Key — This method allows you to
manually enter hex keys. Virtually all
manufacturers support this scheme.
○
2 BROWAN Encryption String — This method is
only supported by BROWAN Wireless products.
The string can contain any alpha numeric
characters and must be between 6 and 30
characters long. A single string will automatically
generate 4 unique keys for 64 or 128 bit WEP.
○
3 ASCII — This method is supported by some
adapter cards running under Windows XP. The
string must be exactly 5 characters for 64 bit
WEP and 13 characters for 128 bit WEP. You
must enter a separate string for each of the 4
Keys. You can leave a string blank so long as
this Key is not selected as the Active Transmit
Key.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 88
○
4 Passphrase — This is another common method
and similar to the BROWAN Encryption string. In
64 bit WEP, the Passphrase will generate 4
different keys. However, in 128 bit WEP, this
method only generates 1 key which is replicated
for all 4 keys.
Active Transmit Key
The Active Transmit Key selects which of the 4
Keys the Router uses when it transmits. You can
change the selected key every now and then to
increase the security of your network.
When you apply the Mutiple SSIDs in Wireless Settings, you
can operate different SSID in different security mode. And
you must enter the correct key forward intto the SSID that
you connect. It means that WPA and WEP encryption
modes are enabled allowing wireless client PCs to be
configured to run with either WPA or the original WEP
encryption.
Maximum security can be obtained by configuring your
wireless network to WPA encryption only. It is important to
remember that with encryption disabled anyone with a
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 89
Wireless PC can eavesdrop on your network.
If you enable WPA or WEP on the Router, you must reconfigure your wireless PCs to use exactly the same
Encryption Type and Keys otherwise the devices will not understand each other.
Wireless Settings | WDS
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is comprised of a
bridging and/or a repeater mode. Wireless bridging is where
the WDS APs communicate only with each other to bridge
together 2 separate networks (without allowing for wireless
clients or stations to access them). Wireless repeating is
where the WDS APs rebroadcasts the received signals to
extend reach and range (at the expense of half or more of
the throughput).
Enabling the WDS will enable wireless repeating.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 90
If you choose WDS-STA for the router, you have specified the router to act as a Repeater of your wireless
distributed system (WDS); whereas if you choose WDA-ROOTA for your router, you have specified this router to
act as a Base of your wireless distributed system.
Wireless Settings | WMM
You can enable Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) support to help
improve the Quality of Service (QoS) for audio, video, and
voice applications over the wireless network. When WMM
support is enabled, multimedia traffic is given higher priority
over other types of traffic.
EDCA Parameter
The IEEE 802.11e standard improves the Medium
Access Control (MAC) of the legacy 802.11 with regard
to Quality of Service (QoS) by introducing the
Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA).The
802.11e MAC is based on both centrally-controlled and
contention-based channel accesses. The EDCA
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 91
provides differentiated channel access to frames with
different priorities. Typically, voice and video traffic
types are delay-sensitive, but are tolerant of some
frame losses. On the other hand, data traffic type is
delay-tolerable, but requires loss-free transmission. So
you may adjust theses parameters with regard to the
characteristics of these types of data to better manage
your network flow.
AC (Access Category):
Using 4 different ACs: From high to low: VO:
Voice, VI: Video, BE: Best Effort, BK: Background.
AIFS (Arbitrary Inter-frame Space):
An Inter-frame Space for different Access
Category
TXOP (Transmission Opportunity):
WMM (Wireless Multimedia) Transmission
Opportunity: defined by IEEE 802.11e, the TXOP is
the interval of time when a particular STA (station)
has the right to initiate transmissions.
ACM (Admission Mandatory):
Advertised in the EDCA parameter set element to
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 92
indicate the admission control is required for each
of the ACs.
Access Point
Theses values of AIFS, CWmin, and CWmax are
announced by the AP via beacon frames. The AP can
adapt these parameters dynamically depending on the
network conditions. Basically, the smaller AIFS and
CWmin, the shorter the channel access delay for the
corresponding priority, and hence the more capacity
share for a given traffic condition. However, the
probability of collisions increases when operating with
smaller CWmin. Theses parameters can be used in
order to differentiate the channel access among
different priority traffic.
STA
Each station maintains a Contention Window (CW),
which is used to select the random back off counter.
The BC is determined as a random integer drawn from
a uniform distribution over the interval (0, CW).The CW
size is initially assigned CWmin, and increases when a
transmission fails, i.e., the transmitted data frame has
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 93
not been acknowledged. After any unsuccessful
transmission attempt, another back off timer is
performed, with an upper bound of CWmax. This
reduces the collision probability in case there are
multiple stations attempting to access the channel.
CW min:
should be smaller for delay-sensitive data
CW max:

Wireless Settings | Client List
The Wireless Clients List provides details on the devices
that are connected to the Wireless LAN. The list is only
created when Wireless Networking is enabled.
For each device that is connected to the Wireless LAN: the
MAC address, Connection Speed and Client Type of that
device is displayed.
As you connect more devices to the Wireless LAN, the
client list will grow to a maximum of 32 (the maximum
number of wireless devices that the Router can support).
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 97
Wireless Settings | Advanced
Authentication Type
The default is set to open system (Default), allows choosing
Shared Key authentication to be used. With Open System
authentication, the sender and the recipient do NOT use a
WEP key for authentication. With Shared Key
authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for
authentication.
Basic Rate
The Basic Rate setting is not actually one rate of
transmission but a series of rates at which the Router can
transmit. The Router will advertise its Basic Rate to the
other wireless devices in your network, so they know which
rates will be used. The Router will also advertise that it will
automatically select the best rate for transmission. The
default setting is Default, when the Router can transmit at
all standard wireless rates (1-2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps,
18Mbps, and 24Mbps). Other options are 1-2Mbps, for use
with older wireless technology, and All, when the Router
can transmit at all wireless rates. The Basic Rate is not the
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 98
actual rate of data transmission. If you want to specify the
Router's rate of data transmission, configure the
Transmission Rate setting.
Transmission Rate
The rate of data transmission should be set depending on
the speed of your wireless network. You can select from a
range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto
(Default) to have the Router automatically use the fastest
possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature.
Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection
speed between the Router and a wireless client. The
default value is Auto (Default).
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 99
Router. Then select the appropriate level, Full (Default),
Half, Quarter, Eighth, or Min, from the drop-down menu.
The default is Full (Default).
CTS Protection Mode
CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode should be set to
Auto (Default). The Router will automatically use CTS
Protection Mode when your Wireless-G products are
experiencing severe problems and are not able to transmit
to the Router in an environment with heavy 802.11b traffic.
This function boosts the Router's ability to catch all
Wireless-G transmissions but will severely decrease
performance. If you do not want to use CTS Protection
Mode at all, select Disabled.
Frame Burst Mode
Frame burst is a term in wireless technology supported by
the 802.11e QoS specification. Suggesting to enable this
option on point to point should provide your network with
greater performance, depending on the manufacturer of
your wireless products. If you are not sure how to use this
option, keep the default, Enabled.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 100
Beacon Interval
A beacon is a packet broadcast by the wireless router to
make the client scan the wireless signal. The Beacon
Interval value indicates the time interval of the beacon. The
default value is 100.
DTIM Interval
This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown
field informing clients of the next window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages. When the Router has
stored in buffer with broadcast or multicast messages for
associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM
Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to
receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default
value is 1.
Fragmentation Threshold
This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before
data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience
a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the
Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 101
Threshold too low may result in poor network performance.
Only minor reduction of the default value is recommended.
In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.
RTS Threshold
Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor
reduction of the default value, 2347, is recommended. If a
network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold
size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The
Router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular
receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data
frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station
responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge
the right to begin transmission. The RTS Threshold value
should remain at its default value of 2347.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 102
Wireless Settings | Multiple SSIDs
Enable Multiple SSID
Allows you to enable/disable the Multiple SSID. When
disabled, only one SSID on your Wireless LAN.
The default setting is BROWAN.
Service Area Name/SSID
This allows you to name your Wireless network. The field
will accept any alphanumeric string but not spaces and has
a maximum length of 32 characters. Your Wireless PCs
must be configured with exactly the same name or you will
not establish a connection.
The Service Area Name may also be referred to as ESSID
depending on your networking vendor. By default the
Router uses the name BROWAN.
You may specify up to 3 SSIDs. (1 Main SSID , 2 Multiple
SSIDs)
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 103
Enable Broadcast SSID
This feature can be used to improve the security of your
wireless network. When the checkbox is unchecked, the
Router will not broadcast the Service Area Name / SSID of
your wireless network. It will prevent unauthorized clients
from detecting your SSID and attempting to connect to your
network.
If you have a wireless client that can detect all the available
SSIDs in your area, your client will not list the Router SSID
when this feature is enabled.
We recommend that you install your wireless network with
this feature unchecked and then enable it once your have
set up the Router and wireless clients.

IP Allocation Mode: To establish a connection with your
ISP's network, select the IP Allocation Mode that they use.
There are four different options available：
Dynamic IP address (automatically allocated):
This allocation mode may be used by either Cable or
DSL ISP's. It is popular with Cable providers, and may
also be required if your modem has a built in DHCP
server.
If this mode is selected, your IP Address, Subnet Mask,
and ISP Address will be obtained automatically from
your ISP. They are not displayed on this screen, but
may be viewed on the Status screen (click on Status
and Logs on the left hand menu bar).
Host Name:
Some ISP's require a host name to identify you when
you connect. If you have been provided a Host Name
by your ISP, you should enter it here. This field is

optional, and so if you have not been provided a host
name, you may leave it blank.
Clone MAC address:
Some ISP's use the hardware (MAC) address of the
device you connect to the Internet with to identify you.
If you have previously used a different device with your
current ISP, and they use your MAC address to identify
you, then you can change the MAC address on the
WAN side of your Router to be that of your old device.
There are three options available for cloning the Router
WAN port MAC address:
Use the Router's original MAC address:
This option is selected by default. When selected, the
Router uses the WAN port MAC address that it was
assigned at the factory.
Use this PCs MAC address:
This option will assign the MAC address of the PC you
are using to manage the Router to the WAN port. If this
is the PC that you used previously to connect to your
ISP, then you should select this option.

Firewall | Virtual Servers
Virtual DMZ
The default operation of the Router is to block any requests
from the Internet. This maximizes the security of your
network. However, if you want to host a server on your LAN
and make it accessible from the internet, you will need to
configure a Virtual Server.
A Virtual DMZ is a special case of a Virtual Server which
can intercept all unsolicited incoming traffic not
already assigned to a Virtual Server, and redirects it to a
specified PC on the LAN.
Blocking Service Requests
Select the Block Request radio button, in the Virtual
DMZ box.
Redirecting to a Virtual DMZ Host
1. Select the Redirect Request radio button, in the
Virtual DMZ box.

Firewall | SPI
The Router inspects packets at the application layer, and
maintains TCP and UDP session information, including
timeouts and the number of active sessions. The Router
also provides the ability to detect and prevent certain types
of network attacks such as DOS attacks. Network attacks
that deny access to a network device are called
denial-of-service (DOS) attacks. Denials of Service (DOS)
attacks are aimed at devices and networks with a
connection to the Internet. The goal is not to steal
information, but to disable a device or network so users no
longer have access to network resources.
By using above inspected information and
timeout/threshold criteria, the Router provide following DOS
attacks prevention: Ping of Death (Ping flood) attack, SYN
flood attack, IP fragment attack (Teardrop Attack), Land
Attack, IP Spoofing attack, IP with zero length, TCP null
scan (Port Scan Attach), UDP port loopback, Stork Attack
etc.

Firewall | QoS
QoS (Quality of Service) manages information as it is
transmitted and received. It ensures better service to high
priority types of Internet traffic, which may involve
demanding, real-time applications, such as
videoconferencing. QoS can also prioritize traffic for a
specific device or the Routers LAN ports.
You may give a comparative metric for your selected
application with High, Low, or Normal to prioritize bandwidth
of your services.
Bandwidth
Specify the limit for your uplink and downlink connection
bandwidth in kilobit per second. Remember that if you
specify a speed exceeding your current broadband service
capabilities, you will still only be able to achieve the
maximum speed provided by your broadband service.
If NAT is enabled:
Maximum Uplink/Downlink Bandwidth: 25 Mbps
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 132
Minimum Uplink/Downlink Bandwidth: 1 kbit/s
If NAT is disabled:

Connect network. Direct Connect allows you to
share files over the Internet without restrictions or
limits. The client is completely free of
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 136
advertisements and has a nice, easy to use
interface. Firewall and router support is integrated
and it is easy and convenient to use functionality
like multi-hub connections, auto-connections and
resuming of downloads.
13. RSVP
The RSVP protocol is part of a larger effort to
enhance the current Internet architecture with
support for Quality of Service flows. The RSVP
protocol is used by a host to request specific
qualities of service from the network for particular
application data streams or flows. RSVP is also
used by routers to deliver quality-of-service (QoS)
requests to all nodes along the path(s) of the flows
and to establish and maintain state to provide the
requested service.
RSVP requests will generally result in resources
being reserved in each node along the data path.
14. H.323
H.323 is the international standard for multimedia
communication over packet-switched networks,
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 137
including LANs, WANs, and the Internet. It was first
defined by the ITU in 1996 and has been updated
regularly.
The scope of H.323 covers real-time voice, video,
and data communication over packet-switched
networks. It was designed from the outset to
operate over IP networks, primarily, though H.323
may also operate over other packet-switched
networks. It was designed with multipoint voice and
video conferencing capabilities, though most users
do not take advantage of the multipoint capabilities
specified in the protocol.
15. L2TP
L2TP, Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol, is used to
provide IP security at the network layer.
L2TP uses UDP to transport the PPP data; this is
often encapsulated in IPSec for encryption instead
of using MPP.
16. PPTP
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a standard for
transporting datagram over point-to-point links. It is
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 138
used to encapsulate IP packets for transport
between two peers.
To establish a PPP tunnel, both sides send LCP
frames to negotiate parameters and test the data
link. If authentication is used, at least one of the
peers has to authenticate itself before the network
layer protocol parameters can be negotiated using
NCP. During the LCP and NCP negotiation optional
parameters such as encryption, can be negotiated.
When LCP and NCP negotiation is done, IP
datagram can be sent over the link.
17. IPSec
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a collection of
standards that was designed specifically to create
secure end-to-end secure connections. The
standards were developed by the Internet
Engineering Task For (IETF) to secure
communications over both public and private
networks, though it is particularly beneficial to
public networks. In this article I'll explain to you
some of the fundamentals of IPSec, how it is used,
and what products use it.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 139
IPSec is framework that is built into various security
products to provide end-to-end security in wide
area networking communications. Using strong
encryption, and public key cryptography, IPSec can
secure data links that would otherwise be insecure
and susceptible to exploitation.

BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 145
Firewall | URL Filter
This feature allows you to block or allow access to specified
Websites. The feature is used in conjunction with PC
Privileges. PC Privileges allow the administrator to control
Internet access.
There are two types of URL Filter available:
Deny List and Allow List. In both cases the Router will
only check the URL and not the content of the site.
The Deny List will compare entries in the Filter Table
to that of a requested Website URL and block the user
from viewing the Website if a match is found.
The Allow List will compare entries in the Filter Table
to that of a requested Website URL and allow the
Website to be viewed if a match is found. All other URL
requests are blocked.
If a user attempts to access a blocked website, they will be
presented with a warning message in their Internet Browser
informing them that this website is blocked and to contact
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 146
their system administrator.
The Filter Table allows the entry of either URLs or
keywords.
For example, a URL would typically look take the form:
www.examplesite.com, www.another-site.org,
www.eg_website.net. Whereas a Keyword would
typically be a word or letters that should be blocked, for
example: adult, xxx, excite.

System Tools | Restart
Pressing the Restart the Router button will cause the
Router to restart, simulating the effect of power cycling the
unit. No configuration information will be lost. This function
may be of use if you are experiencing problems and you
wish to re-establish your Internet connection.
Any network users who are currently accessing the Internet
will have their access interrupted whilst the restart takes
place, and they may need to reboot their computers when
the restart has completed and the Router is operational
again.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 148
System Tools | Time Zone
Choose the Time Zone that is closest to your actual
location. The time zone setting is used by the system clock
when displaying the correct time in the log files.
The system time is automatically updated from Time
Servers on the Internet. The Daylight saving feature
allows you to manually add 1 hour to the Internet time. This
is not automatically updated when the Daylight saving time
ends.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 149
System Tools | Configuration
Backup Configuration
Use the Backup button to save the Router's current
configuration settings in a file on your computer. When you
select this function, your browser will prompt you to enter a
file name and folder location in which to save the data. Note
that a file saved in this way cannot be viewed or modified
with a word processor or spreadsheet program.
Restore Configuration Data
The Restore Configuration Data function is used to
reinstate the configuration data previously saved to a file
using the Backup Configuration function. Use the Browse
button to locate the backup file on your computer, and then
click the Restore button to copy the data into the Router's
memory.
Note that the system password is NOT changed when a
new configure file is loaded.
Reset to Factory Default
The Reset to Factory Default function will clear all the
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 150
configuration information from the Router and return it to
the state it was in when it was shipped from BROWAN. The
unit will then restart. This function might be useful if, for
instance, a Router is moved from one network to another
and you wish to start the configuration process from a
known clean state.
This function should be used with caution, as once a unit
has been reset to its factory default state, then the current
configuration settings are irrevocably lost. It is strongly
recommended that you backup the current configuration
with the Backup Configuration facility before using the
Reset to Factory Defaults function unless you are certain
that the current settings are no longer needed.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 151
System Tools | Upgrade
The Upgrade facility allows you to install on the Router any
new releases of system software that BROWAN may make
available.
To install new software, you first need to download the
software from the BROWAN support web site. Once you
have done this, use the Browse button to tell your web
browser where this file is on your computer, and then click
on Apply.
The file will be copied to the Router, and when this has
completed, the Router will restart. Although the upgrade
process has been designed to preserve your configuration
settings, it is recommended that you make a backup of the
configuration beforehand, in case the upgrade process fails
for any reason (for example, the connection between the
computer and the Router is lost while the new software is
being copied to the Router).

protocol for managing router information within a
self-contained network such as a corporate local area
network (LAN) or an interconnected group of such LANs.
Check the check box to enable RIP Mode, or uncheck the
check box for disable RIP Mode.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 154
Advanced | DDNS
Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) is a system
which allows the domain name data held in a name server
to be updated in real time. The most common use for this is
in allowing an Internet domain name to be assigned to a
computer with a varying (dynamic) IP address. This makes
it possible for other sites on the Internet to establish
connections to the machine without needing to track the IP
address themselves. A common use is for running server
software on a computer that has a dynamic IP address, as
is the case with many consumer Internet service providers.
The DDNS is disabled by default selection.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 157
Advanced | Security
The security setup could help you to protect your network.
The Router contains both an Advanced Firewall and a
Basic Firewall. The Basic Firewall detects the common
attack patterns used by people on the Internet and once
detected will block their access to your network. The
Advanced Firewall uses Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI),
which is a more secure method of protection against
attacks to your network. When an attack is detected a log
entry will be generated and the Alert LED will be lit for 2
seconds.
Enable universal plug and play
The universal plug and play architecture enables
discovery and control between devices on a network.
Enabling this feature will make the Router less secure,
as you no longer have control on which ports in the
Firewall are opened.
Universal plug and play is enabled by:
Checking on the Enable universal plug and play
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 158
check box so that a tick can be seen.
Clicking the Apply button.
Allow PING from the Internet
Ping is a computer network tool used to test whether a
particular host is reachable across an IP network. Ping
works by sending ICMP echo request packets to the
target host and listening for ICMP echo response
replies. Using interval timing and response rate, ping
estimates the round-trip time and rate of packet loss (if
any) between hosts.
Allow PING is enabled by：
Checking on the Allow PING from the Internet
check box so that a tick can be seen.
Click the Apply button.
Disable NAT
When NAT is Disabled, the Router does not perform IP
address and port translation. The related features,
such as Virtual Server, Special Applications, PC
Privileges, Virtual DMZ, do not work after NAT
Disabled.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 159
Disable NAT is enabled by：
Checking on the Disable NAT check box so that a
tick can be seen.
Clicking he Apply button.
IPSec Pass-through
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a suite of protocols
used to implement secure exchange of packets at the
IP layer. IPSec Pass-Through is enabled by default.
L2TP Pass-through
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is the method used to
enable Point-to-Point sessions via the Internet on the
Layer 2 level. L2TP Pass-Through is enabled by
default.
PPTP Pass-through
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) allows the
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be tunneled through
an IP network. PPTP Pass-Through is enabled by
default.
GUI timeout
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 160
If you do not access the GUI for the specified time span
(Default is 10 minutes), the system will ask you to login
again.
Enabling Remote Administration
It is possible to administer the Router from the Internet.
You can enable remote administration for a single PC,
all PCs in a subnet, or for any PC. The more PCs you
enable access for, the less secure your Router will be.
To do this :
1. Select the remote administration mode you require.
2. In the case of a single PC, specify its IP address. In
the case of a subnet, specify the address of a PC in
the subnet, and the subnet mask.
3. The Remote PC can now administer the Router by
entering http：//<Router_Internet_IP_Address>：
8000 into a web browser.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 161
Advanced | Proxy ARP
Proxy ARP is the technique in which one machine, usually a
router, answers ARP requests intended for another
machine. By "faking" its identity, the router accepts
responsibility for routing packets to the "real" destination.
Proxy ARP allows a site to use a single IP address with two
physical networks.
Following is the setting procedures on Proxy ARP function
1. Set the GW wan IP in static ip mode, such as IP：
10.0.0.2, submask：255.255.0.0, route：10.0.0.1
2. Enable Proxy ARP on WEB UI and set the Public IP
range you want to set on PC in your LAN network such
as from 10.0.0.3 to 10.0.0.14
3. Set PC in your LAN network with one of those Public IP,
such as IP：10.0.0.3, submask：255.255.0.0, route：
10.0.0.1
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 162
Advanced | 1 to 1 NAT
The following criteria must be met to be able to use
One-to-One NAT：
You must have a static Internet IP address for every
computer on your network plus one for the Router
itself.
The addresses must be in one continuous block in the
same subnet
You must have selected Static IP Address as your IP
Allocation Mode and have given your VPN Firewall the
first of the Internet addresses allocated by your ISP.
To set up One-to-One NAT：
