poor network performance due to the generation of an excessive number of packets. 2346
is the default setting, which is also the value recommended.
• 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 buffered broadcast or multicast
messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. You can
specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which indicates
the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.
• Enable WMM - WMM function can guarantee the packets with high- priority messages being transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended to have this feature enabled.
• Enable short GI - This function is enabled by default and used to set the time the receiver
waits for RF reflections to settle out before sampling data. Using a short Guard Interval can
increase throughput.
• Enabled AP Isolation - This function can isolate wireless stations on your network from
each other. Wireless devices will be able to communicate with the router but not with each
other. To use this function, check this box. AP Isolation is disabled by default.

8.2 Port triggering
Go to Forwarding Port triggering in the menu, in order to visualize and add port triggering, as shown in the next screen (Figure 8-4). Some applications require multiple connections,
like Internet games, video conferencing, Internet calling, and so on. These applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. Port Triggering is used for some of these applications to let
them work with a NAT router.
Figure 8-4 Port Triggering
52
Nexxt Solutions – Wireless-N 3G router
Once the Router is configured, the operation is as follows:
1.A local host makes an outgoing connection using a destination port number defined in the
Trigger port field.
2.The router records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with this
entry in the Port triggering table, and associates them with the local host.
3.When necessary the external host will be able to connect to the local host using one of the
ports defined in the Incoming Ports field.
• Trigger port - The port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using this port will “Trigger” this rule.
• Trigger protocol - The protocol used for Trigger Ports, either TCP, UDP, or All (all protocols
supported by the router).
• Incoming ports range - The port or port range used by the remote system when it responds to the outgoing request. A response using one of these ports will be forwarded to
the PC that triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port section).
Every group of ports must be set apart with “,”. For example, 2000-2038, 2050-2051,
2085, 3010-3030.
• Incoming Protocol - The protocol used for Incoming Ports Range, either TCP or UDP, or
ALL (all protocols supported by the router).
• Status - It displays the current status of this entry, either Enabled or Disabled.
To add a new rule, follow the steps below.
1.Click the Add New… button. The following screen will be displayed, as shown in Figure 8-5.
2.Select a common application from the Common applications drop-down list, then the Trigger Port field and the Incoming ports field will be automatically filled. If the Common applications do not have the application you need, enter the Trigger port and the Incoming Ports
manually.
3.Select the protocol used for Trigger Port from the Trigger protocol drop-down list, either
TCP, UDP, or All.
4.Select the protocol used for Incoming Ports from the Incoming protocol drop-down list,
either TCP or UDP, or All.
5.Select Enable in Status field.

Appendix B: Glossary
• 802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multipleinput multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow
for increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity, perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The
Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) [3] was formed to help accelerate the IEEE
802.11n development process and promote a technology specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area networking (WLAN) products.
• 802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using
direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also
referred to as Wi-Fi networks.
• 802.11g - Specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence
spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the
unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b
devices, and WEP encryption for security.
• DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - The capability of assigning a fixed host and
domain name to a dynamic Internet IP Address.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically configure
the TCP/IP parameters for the all the PC(s) that are connected to a DHCP server.
• DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - A Demilitarized Zone allows one local host to be exposed to
the Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.
• DNS (Domain Name System) - An Internet Service that translates the names of websites into IP addresses.
• Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on
the Internet.
• DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - A technology that allows data to be sent or received
over existing traditional phone lines.
• ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet.
• MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be
transmitted.
• NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT technology translates IP addresses of a local
area network to a different IP address for the Internet.
• PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) - PPPoE is a protocol for connecting
remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.
• SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key
identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is
typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID
in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128bit or 152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
• Wi-Fi - A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the
Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry
standards group promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices.
• WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices
communicate with each other wirelessly, in which network serving users are limited in a
local area.
