case, you need to enter:
User name: Enter the user name of your ISP account.
Password: Enter the password of your ISP account.
Retype password: Enter the password of your ISP account again to re-confirm.
Some ISP use Host Name to authenticate the user; if this is the case, you need to
enter:
Host Name: Enter the name of the gateway.
Some ISP require you input the LAN card MAC address; if this is the case, you
need to enter:
MAC Address: Enter this LAN card MAC address.
Wireless Settings
19
If you would like to change wireless setting you will have to configure this page.
ESSID: ESS stands for “Extended Service Set”, The ESSID is the name shared among
all points in the wireless network system, and The ESSID must be identical for all points.
Channel: The value of channel can be selected from channel 1 to 11 for FCC domain,
channels 1 to 13 for ETSI domain and 1 to 14 for Japan domain.
Encryption: By default its “Disabled” but the manufacture would like to suggest you to
enable it and select either “64 bit” or “128 bit” to ensure the network security.
Authentication Type ? Indication of an authentication algorithm which can be
supported by this node:
1. Open System: Open System authentication is the simplest of the available
authentication algorithms. Essentially it is a null authentication algorithm. Any
station that requests authentication with this algorithm may become
authenticated if dot11AuthenticationType at the recipient station is set to Open
System authentication.
2. Shared Key: Shared Key authentication supports authentication of STAs as
either a member of those who know a shared secret key or a member of those
20
who do not.
Open System authentication is the default authentication algorithm.
Note: If your stations want to connect the wireless Access point gateway, Please set the
same ESSID.
Modem Settings
The modem can be used as a dialup backup to the ISDN or V.90 modem connection. If
you would like to use modem backup you need to enable the modem settings function,
click on the square shown below and input the ISP account settings.
Note: If you change the baud rate settings, please check the initial string. (You can refer
to your manual of the modem or TA.)
Save & Restart
21
After you have finished making all the changes on the various pages, please click “Save
& Restart” to save the settings and restart the device. After the restart, the device will
function according to the saved settings.
During the startup process the LED of the device will blink. Please wait until the blinking
of the device stops before proceeding.
4-4 Advanced Settings
Advanced settings include DHCP server, virtual server and password settings.
A username and password will appear. Type “admin”
in the user name box, and type the password that you
have set the device (the default is no password)
Click OK
22
The Advanced Settings page will appear.
DHCP Server Settings
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. In a network, DHCP server gives out
the local IP address when a device is booting up and request an IP address to be logged
on to the network. The device must set to “Obtain the IP address automatically”. The
Wireless Access Point Gateway’s DHCP server is enabled by default. If you would like
to disable the DHCP server, uncheck the square below.
IP Address Pool Range
The IP address pool contains the range of the IP address that will automatically be
assigned to the clients of your network.
Default setting is from 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.100
IP Address Reservation
You can use IP address reservation option to give particular computers on your network
the same static IP address every time the computer is turned on.
23
Virtual server settings
Virtual server settings allow clients on the Internet to access your LAN via the Internet
just like logging in to a local server. You can use the IP mapping function to access an
FTP server or Telnet server etc. on your LAN via your ISP Internet connection.
Wireless Settings
Beacon Interval: To change the frequency, duration, or scope of beacon messages
during a multicast routing monitor test, The setting is for Frequency of beacon messages
24
(in seconds). The default value is 100 seconds, meaning one beacon message every 100
seconds.
RTS Threshold: Transmitters contending for the medium may not be aware of each
other. RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node Problem”. If the packet size is
smaller than the preset RTS Threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will NOT be
enabled. Select any number between 0 to 3000.
Fragmentation: The value indicates how much of the network resources devoted to
recovering packet errors. The value should remain at its default setting of 2346 bytes. If
you have decreased this value and experience high packet error rates, you can increase it
again, but will likely decrease overall network performance.
Preamble: Select “long” or “short”. There is the “Long” or “Short” selection to ensure
that systems receiving the information correctly interpret when the data transmission
starts. To select “Short” Preamble may be used to minimize overhead and “Long” to
maximize the network data throughput. The default value will be set for “Long”.
Authentication: Select “Open System”, “Shared Key” or “Both”. In “Shared Key” mode,
it is to specify whether a network key is used to authenticate to this preferred wireless
network. Under 802.11 standard for wireless network, when a network key is used for
authentication, the network is operating in Shared Key authentication mode. If a network
key is not used for authentication, the network is operating in Open System mode.
DTIM Interval: Stands for “Delivery Traffic Indication Message” DTIM has to do with
power management. With every beacon comes a TIM (traffic indication map). Basically,
a power-managed card wakes up and waits for a TIM. A TIM tells the client card that
there's data waiting for it at the access point. When there's data waiting, the access point
indicates this with at DTIM message. A shorter DTIM will cause the card to wake up
more often to download waiting data. A longer DTIM will keep the card in power-save
mode longer, however, since more data will be waiting, the card will have to stay on
longer to collect the waiting information. By default, it was set to 3.
CFP Period: When CFP mode is selected a "Contention Free Period" is enabled after
every DTIM, preventing any client from transmitting during this time. The
multicast/broadcast frames are then transmitted during the CFP interval, thus resulting in
a higher probability of successful transmission as mulitcasts frames are not retransmitted
due to a collision. For most Windows networking installations, the Normal setting is
adequate. The CFP selection is available for the rare configuration that results in lost
broadcast traffic to get lost. By default, it was set to 1.
CFP MaxDuration: the maximum possible duration of the contention free period.
Basic Rates: By selecting 1, 2. 5.5, or 11 Mbps. By selecting 1, 2. 5.5, or 11 Mbps.
Manufacture suggests setting the rates to the lowest speed to match the slowest device on
25
the network to insure there’s not data loss during transmission or broadcast.
TX Rates: By selecting 1, 2. 5.5, or 11 Mbps. so the device will perform auto fall back to
justify the actual through put of the network.
Static Routing
You can add or delete Routing table, if you would like to use static Routing function. To
enter Destination IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP address field, and click add
button. To have Static IP address means you would assign an IP address to the device
instead of obtain it from the DHCP server.
Dynamic Routing
26
You can set send and receive protocol for Dynamic Routing. RIP stands for Routing
Internet Protocol. The router itself will send out RIP protocol to notify all the
workstations on the network and also has the ability to receive the same protocol that
comes from other router within the network. By default, it is set to disable on both send
and receive.
Administration Settings
You may reset your password; enable the log function to different IP address plus
filtering out numbers of IP address in your network.
