Be sure to read this entire User’s Manual from front to back in sequence before installing the Hitron™ “Broadband Residential Cable Modem Gateway” BRG-35302 / BWA35302.  This chapter provides an overview of how to set up the Wireless parameters via Ethernet Port Interface. First you can refer to chapter 2: “Installing the Cable Modem Using the Ethernet Port” and verify that the Ethernet Port is operating properly.  After making sure the Ethernet Port works fine, please connect the Cable Modem and your computer via the Ethernet Cable (Included in the accessories.).  Fig. 4 Cable Modem Connection Using Wireless   The Factory Default IP address of the Ethernet Port is 192.168.100.1, and the DHCP server is enabled. You can configure your computer as “Automatic Get the IP”, or set the IP as
18/31  V1.0 192.168.100.2, mask = 255.255.255.0, so that the computer and the Cable Modem will be connected. Open the Browser in your computer and key in http://192.168.100.1, you will be asked to key in the username and password.. As for the Username and Password, you can contact your service provider for the details.
19/31  V1.0  Wireless Setting  There are several wireless transmission modes for selection: 802.11b(11B):It is of the old transmission mode. The max speed can be up to 11Mbps. 802.11b+(11B+):The formal description should be Packet Binary Convolutional Coding (PBCC). It is of the enhanced transmission mode of 11B, and the max speed can be up to twice of 11B (22Mbps). 802.11g(11G):It is the fastest among the three transmission modes, and the max speed can be up to 54Mbps. However, some older wireless LAN card may not support. If you are not sure whether your wireless LAN card supports or not, it is recommended to select as Mixed Mode.  The Factory Default is “Mixed mode”.  User can also disable the wireless transmission module. It is just to click the left side of the ”Disable Wireless Module”. After the configuration, please click    below.
20/31  V1.0  Channel and SSID   SSID SSID(Service Set Identification)is the “name” of this wireless access point. It is also called the “Wireless Network Name” in the Windows XP environment. While the wireless LAN card searches for the access point, SSID is the important information for user to judge which Wireless Access Point is the expected one. SSID can be configured up to 32characters.(Alphabet or number). The Factory Default of SSID is WLAN.  Channel This selection is correlated to the transmission frequency. Different Channel means the different transmission frequency. In most of the application, it is not necessary to change the channel. It is due to that the wireless LAN cards can detect the correct channel while they are searching the access point. One of the reasons for you to change the channel is that there is the frequency interference happened. The possibility of the interference may result from that there are more than one access points using the same channel in the small area. If so, you can select different channels to avoid the interference.
21/31  V1.0 Hide SSID For security, wireless access point can disable the broadcast of SSID, and the configuration is to select the “Hide SSID”. Once the “Hide SSID” is selected, only the computer with same SSID can connect the wireless access point. On the other hand, the computer with the different SSID (or without SSID) will not “see” this wireless access point. To connect the wireless access point with the configuration “Hide SSID”, user must know the SSID in advance, and then pre-configure in the computer. After the configuration, the hidden SSID will appear in the search list.
22/31  V1.0  Encryption  The wireless LAN signal is broadcasted openly. This is vulnerable for information theft or hackers trying to sniff your private information. To provide a certain level of protection, it is recommended to enable the authentication for the connection and the encryption of the transmission data.   Security In the selection in Security, user can select between None, WPA-PSK and WEP.  None: There will be no authentication or encryption in this mode.  WPA-PSK:  WPA-PSK(Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key)provides strong data security. It will block eavesdropping. Because this is a new standard, wireless device driver and software availability may be limited.   The Passphrase must be identical on all PCs and access points in your network. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box. The length of Passphrase should be between
23/31  V1.0 8~63 characters, which can be alphabet, number, symbol, even the blank.  WEP: The WEP is similar to the WPA-PSK. There is the encryption key between the PCs and access point, too. There are two encryption lengths for selection: 64 bits and 128 bits. If encryption strength is set to 64-bit or 128-bit, then only the selected WEP key box will automatically be populated with key values. For 64-bit WEP, enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).   For 128-bit WEP, enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). No matter 64 bits or 128 bits, you can program four data encryption keys. You can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all PCs and Access Points in your network. ‧ Automatic —  enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the  . The key boxes will be automatically populated with key values. (Note: In 64 bits, there will generate four data encryption keys. In 128 bits, it will generate only one data encryption key. )  ‧ Manual —  enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F )Select which of the four keys will be active.
24/31  V1.0 Authentication Type (WEP Mode only) Once the security mode is selected as WEP, one may need to select the Authentication Type. There are two selections in Authentication Type: Open System and Shared Key. The difference between Open System and Shared Key is the Authentication between Access Point and Computer. . Open System In the Open System environment, there will not the authentication between Access Point and Computer. The Access Point will allow the connection for any computer which sends the connection request. Once connected, the Access Point will ask the Computer to send the WEP Key so that they can arrange the encryption of the transmission data.  Shared Key In the Shared Key environment, it must go through the Authentication procedure before the connection between Access Point and Computer. In order to finish the Authentication, the Computer must be pre-configured as Shared Key. Meanwhile, the WEP Key must be keyed in the Computer in advance. Otherwise, the Access Point will reject the connection request.  (Note 1: The Authentication Type must be the same between Access Point and Computer. If one side is of Open System and the other is Shared Key, they will not be able to connect.)  (Note 2: This is only of the Authentication between Access Point and Computer. Once they are connected, the transmission data are always encrypted by WEP.)  (Note 3: The default configuration is “Automatic”, which can auto switch between these two modes.)
25/31  V1.0  MAC Filtering  To restrict access based on MAC addresses, you can set up a list of the Trusted Devices, which are allowed to connect to the Access Point.  If the “All Wireless Stations” is selected, the Access Point can accept all of the connection requests.   If the “Trust PCs only” is selected, the Access Point only accepts the Computer in the pre-configured list.  The list is according to the MAC address. Only the Computer in the List can be accepted, the others will be rejected.  To add one trusted PC: Key in the MAC address in the “Manually-Added Wireless Devices”. You can also set the Device Name for verification. The added PC will be shown in the “Wireless Access List”. To remove one trusted PC: Select the MAC address in the “Manually-Added Wireless Devices” which you want to remove, and then click .  You can see the connected Computer in the “Auto-Learned Wireless Devices”.
