Introduction1-41
2-1Chapter 2: InstallationThe Multimedia Router has two basic operating modes that can be set through the web-based management interface. For information on setting the mode suitable for your network environment, see “Operation Mode configuration” on page 5-4.•Gateway Mode — A gateway mode that connects a wired LAN and wireless clients to an Internet access device, such as a cable or DSL modem. This is the factory set default mode.•Bridge Mode — An access point mode that extends a wired LAN to wireless clients.•AP Client Mode — Appears only when you’ve selected the Bridge Mode in the Setup Wizard. The wireless application interface is treated as WAN port, and the wireless ap interface and the ethernet ports are LAN ports.In addition to these basic operating modes, the wireless interface supports a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) link to another Multimedia Router. These advanced configurations are not described in this section. See “Network Planning” on page 3-1 for more information.In a basic configuration, how the Multimedia Router is connected depends on the operating mode. The following sections describe connections for basic Gateway Mode and Bridge Mode operation.Gateway ModeIn its default Gateway Mode, the Multimedia Router forwards traffic between an Internet connected cable or ADSL modem, and wired or wireless PCs or notebooks. The basic connections are illustrated in the figure below.Figure 2-1.  Gateway Mode ConnectionInternetCable/DSL ModemConnect WAN port to cable/DSL modem1.Connect AC power adapter to power source3.

Installation2-22To connect the Multimedia Router in Gateway Mode for use as an Internet gateway, follow these steps:1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Multimedia Router’s WAN port to your Internet connected cable or ADSL modem.2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Multimedia Router’s LAN port to your PC. Alternatively, you can connect to a workgroup switch to support multiple users. The Multimedia Router can support wired and wireless users.3. Power on the Multimedia Router by connecting the AC power adapter and plugging it into a power source.Caution: Use ONLY the power adapter supplied with the Multimedia Router. Otherwise, the product may be damaged.4. Set up wireless devices by going to Tools > Network Setting > Router Setting On-Screen Display (OSD) menu or by using the web interface. See “Initial Configuration” on page 4-1 for more information on accessing the web interface. For details on how to use the OSD menus, see “Using the On-Screen Display menus” on page 6-1.Bridge ModeIn Bridge Mode, the Multimedia Router operates as a wireless access point, extending a local wired network to associated wireless clients (PCs or notebooks with wireless capability). From any nearby location, you can then make a wireless connection to the Multimedia Router and access the wired network resources, including local servers and the Internet.In Bridge Mode, the Multimedia Router does not support gateway functions on its WAN port. Both the LAN port and the WAN port can be connected to a local Ethernet LAN. Note: Bridge Mode is not the factory default mode and must be manually set using the web management interface.

3-1Chapter 3: Network PlanningThe Multimedia Router is designed to be very flexible in its deployment options. It can be used as an Internet gateway for a small network, or as an access point to extend an existing wired network to support wireless users. It also supports use as a wireless bridge to connect two wired LANs.This chapter explains some of the basic features of the Multimedia Router and shows some network topology examples in which the device is implemented. Internet Gateway RouterThe Multimedia Router can connect directly to a cable or DSL modem to provide an Internet connection for multiple users through a single service provider account. Users can connect to the Multimedia Router either through a wired connection to a LAN port, or though the device’s own wireless network. The Multimedia Router functions as an Internet gateway when set to Gateway Mode.An Internet gateway employs several functions that essentially create two separate Internet Protocol (IP) subnetworks; a private internal network with wired and wireless users, and a public external network that connects to the Internet. Network traffic is forwarded, or routed, between the two subnetworks.Figure 3-1.   Operating as an Internet Gateway RouterInternet service providerCable/DSL ModemMultimedia RouterNotebook PC(IP: 192.168.2.x)LAN SwitchServer(IP: 192.168.2.x)Desktop PC(IP: 192.168.2.x)WAN (IP assigned from ISP)LAN: (IP: 192.168.2.x)
Network Planning3-23The private local network, connected to the LAN port or wireless interface, provides a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for allocating IP addresses to local PCs and wireless clients, and Network Address Translation (NAT) for mapping the multiple "internal" IP addresses to one "external" IP address.The public external network, connected to the WAN port, supports DHCP client, Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), static IP for connection, L2TP and PPTP to an Internet service provider (ISP) through a cable or DSL modem.LAN Access PointThe Multimedia Router can provide an access point service for an existing wired LAN, creating a wireless extension to the local network. The Multimedia Router functions as purely an access point when set to Bridge Mode. When used in this mode, there are no gateway functions between the WAN port and the LAN and wireless interface. A Wi-Fi wireless network is defined by its Service Set Identifier (SSID) or network name. Wireless clients that want to connect to a network must set their SSID to the same SSID of the network service. The Multimedia Router supports two separate wireless interfaces, that is two SSIDs or Virtual Access Points (VAPs). The two VAP interfaces can be configured separately to support different security settings or other wireless functions.Figure 3-2.

Wireless Bridge3-33Wireless BridgeThe IEEE 802.11 standard defines a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for bridge connections between access points. The Multimedia Router can use WDS to forward traffic on links between units.A single WDS bridge link can be specified for the WLAN1 interface. One end of a link must be configured as the “WDS Parent” and the other as the “WDS Child.” Note: The network domain of WDS child has to be the same as WDS parent.Figure 3-3.

4-1Chapter 4: Initial ConfigurationThe Multimedia Router offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for the configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly attached to the unit can access the management interface using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or above).This chapter describes the Multimedia Router’s configurative features, all of which may be accessed through the web interface. It is recommended to make initial configuration changes by connecting a PC directly to the Multimedia Router's LAN port. The Multimedia Router has a default IP address of 192.168.2.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If your PC is set to “Obtain an IP address automatically” (that is, set as a DHCP client), you can connect immediately to the web interface. Otherwise, you must set your PC IP address to be on the same subnet as the Multimedia Router (that is, the PC and Multimedia Router addresses must both start 192.168.2.x).To access the configuration menu, follow these steps:1. Use your web browser to connect to the management interface using the default IP address of 192.168.2.1.2. Log into the Multimedia Router management interface by entering the default username “admin” and password “admin”, then click OK.Note: It is strongly recommended to change the default user name and password the first time you access the web interface. For information on changing user names and passwords, See “Administrator Settings” on page 5-43.Figure 4-1.   Login Page

The Multimedia Router can operate in five modes, mixed 802.11b/g/n, mixed 802.11b/g, 802.11b only and 802.11g only. Also note that 802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b, and 802.11n is backward compatible with both 802.11b/g at slower data transmit rates.Each radio supports two virtual access point (VAP) interfaces, referred to as WLAN1 and WLAN2. Each VAP functions as a separate access point, and can be configured with its own Service Set Identification (SSID) and security settings. However, most radio signal parameters apply to both VAP interfaces. The configuration options are nearly identical, and are therefore both covered in this section of the manual.Traffic to specific VAPs can be segregated based on user groups or application traffic. Both VAPs can have up to 64 wireless clients, whereby the clients associate with these VAPs the same as they would with a physical access point.Note: The radio channel settings for the access point are limited by local regulations, which determine the number of channels that are available. See “Specifications” on page B-1 for additional information on the maximum number channels available.        Basic SettingsThe Basic Setting page allows you to enable the wireless interface, select which radio mode to use, choose the transmit frequency and configure SSIDs. Click on “Wireless Settings,” followed by “Basic”.Note: There are several variables to consider when selecting a radio mode that make it fully functional. Simply selecting the mode you want is not enough to ensure full compatibility for that mode. Information on these variables may be found in the Advanced Setting section.
Wireless Settings5-215Figure 5-13.   Basic Wireless Settings•Radio On/Off – Enables or Disable the radio. (Default: Enable)•Network Mode – Defines the radio mode for the VAP interface.(Default: 802.11b/g/n Mixed)Note: Enabling the Multimedia Router to communicate with 802.11b/g clients in both 802.11b/g/n Mixed and 802.11n modes also requires that HT Operation in the Advanced Settings menu be set to Mixed. Setting HT Operation to Green Field is exclusive for 802.11n client communication only and prevents 802.11 b/g communication.-802.11b/g Mixed: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the Multimedia Router (up to 108 Mbps), but data transmission rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11b clients. Any 802.11n clients will also be able to communicate with the Multimedia Router, but they will be limited to 802.11g protocols and data transmission rates.-802.11b only: All 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n clients will be able to communicate with the Multimedia Router, but the 802.11g and 802.11n clients will be limited to 802.11b protocols and data transmission rates (up to 11 Mbps).-802.11g only: Both 802.11g and 802.11n clients will be able to communicate with the Multimedia Router, but the 802.11n clients will be limited to 802.11g protocols and data transmission rates (up to 54 Mbps). Any 802.11b clients will not be able to communicate with the Multimedia Router.
System Configuration5-225-802.11b/g/n Mixed: All 802.11b/g/n clients can communicate with the Multimedia Router (up to 300 Mbps), but data transmission rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11b/g clients.•Network Name (SSID) – The name of the wireless network service provided by the VAP. Clients that want to connect to the network must set their SSID to the same as that of the VAP interface. (Default: “Accton_11n_Router”; Range: 1-32 characters)-Multiple SSID – The number of wireless network interfaces (SSIDs) supported on the device. •Broadcast Network Name (SSID) – The Multimedia Router will broadcast its SSID. •AP Isolation – The Multimedia Router will isolate wireless clients in order to protect them. Normally for users who are at hotspots.•MBSSID AP Isolation – The Multimedia Router will isolate wireless clients from different SSID. •BSSID – The identifier (MAC address) of a Multimedia Router in a Basic Service Set (BSS) network.•WLAN Frequency – The radio channel that the Multimedia Router uses to communicate with wireless clients. When multiple access points are deployed in the same area, set the channel on neighboring access points at least five channels apart to avoid interference with each other. For example, you can deploy up to three access points in the same area using channels 1, 6, 11. Note that wireless clients automatically set the channel to the same as that used by the Multimedia Router to which it is linked. Selecting Auto Select enables the Multimedia Router to automatically select an unoccupied radio channel. Wireless Distribution System (WDS)The WLAN1 radio interface can be configured to operate in a mode that allows it to forward traffic directly to other access point units. To set up links between access point units, you must configure the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) forwarding table by specifying the wireless MAC address of all units to which you want to forward traffic.Traffic forwarded to WDS links is automatically converted to 802.11 four-address format frame. This uses the MAC addresses of the station and that of the AP connected to it on the transmitting LAN, and the MAC addresses of the AP functioning as a wireless repeater/bridge and that of the station connected to it on a neighboring LAN in the 802.11 frame header. Ethernet traffic follows a three-address format that is reconstructed for WDS transmission. The Multimedia Router will reconstruct the frame format upon receiving and transmission using the criteria of the receiving and forwarding port location and whether it is Ethernet or wireless in type.Note: The Multimedia Router does not support the spanning tree algorithm. WDS links should be configured appropriately to avoid causing loops on the network.Up to four WDS links can be specified for each unit in the WDS network.The WDS link can be configured in the following combinations:
Wireless Settings5-2351. All units are configured as Gateway Mode2. Units can be configured as Gateway Mode and Bridge Mode combinations. (ex: 2 units for Gateway Mode and 2 units for Bridge Mode)3. All units are configured as Bridge ModeWhen both units are set to Gateway Mode, be sure to check these settings:• Be sure each unit is configured with a different LAN IP address.• Be sure that only one unit has Internet access on its WAN port.• Be sure the DHCP server is enabled only on one unit. If one unit is providing Internet access, enable the DHCP server on that unit.Note: WDS Settings only apply to WLAN1. WLAN2 is pre-configured to Bridge mode unless WLAN1 is configured to act as a bridge, in which case WLAN2 is disabled.Figure 5-14.   WDS SettingsWDS Setting — Configures WDS related parameters. Up to four MAC addresses can be specified for each unit in the WDS network. WDS links may either be manually configured (Bridge and Repeater modes) or auto-discovered (Lazy mode).•WDS Mode – Selects the WDS mode of WLAN1. (Options: Disable/Lazy/Bridge/Repeater. Default: Disable)-Disable: WDS is disabled.-Lazy: Operates in an automatic mode that detects and learns WDS peer addresses from received WDS four-address format frame packets, without the need to configure a WDS MAC list entry. This feature allows the Multimedia Router to associate with other Multimedia Routers in the network and use their WDS MAC list. In Lazy mode the Multimedia Router sends a beacon.Note: At least one unit can not be configured in lazy mode.-Bridge: Operates as a standard bridge that forwards traffic between WDS links (links that connect to other AP/wireless bridges, or units in Repeater or Lazy mode) and an Ethernet port. Only data destined for stations which are known to be on the peer Ethernet link, multicast data or data with unknown destinations, need to be forwarded through the WDS link. The Bridge mode does not transmit a beacon, unlike the other three modes. In this mode the Multimedia Router may also function as a repeater. Note: Enabling “Bridge” mode disables WLAN2.-Repeater: Operates as a wireless repeater, extending the range for remote wireless clients and connecting them to an AP connected to the wired network. WDS peers must be registered with the Multimedia Router. Repeater mode also supports the dual
System Configuration5-245capability of the VAP functioning as an AP. In this mode, traffic is not forwarded to the Ethernet port from the radio interface. In Repeater mode the Multimedia Router transmits a beacon.Note: WDS settings may only be configured for WLAN1, See “Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)” on page 5-33. WLAN2 only operates as an access point service.Note: Configuring WLAN1 to operate in WDS “Bridge” mode automatically disables WLAN2.HT Physical Mode SettingsFigure 5-15.   HT Physical Mode Settings•HT Operation Mode – Packets from 802.11n clients are referred to as High Throughput (HT) Greenfield packets, in other words packets that can be transmitted at rates of up to 300 Mbps assuming that HT Channel Bandwidth is set to 20/40Mhz, see HT Channel Bandwidth next page. Note: Some 802.11n wireless clients may be capable of transmission rates of up to 600 Mbps, however the Multimedia Router will only be able to connect to them at a maximum transmission rate of 150 Mbps.• 802.11b/g packets are referred to as non-HT packets, being transmitted at lower throughput rates. HT mixed format frames contain a preamble compatible with the non-HT receivers. HT Greenfield frames do not contain a non-HT compatible part. Support for HT Greenfield format is optional. An HT station that does not support the reception of an HT Greenfield format frame must be able to detect that an HT Greenfield format frame is an HT transmission (as opposed to a non-HT transmission). In this case the receiver must decode the high throughput signal (HT-SIG) in the packet header and determine if the HT-SIG cyclic redundancy check (CRC) passes. (Default: Mixed)•HT Channel Bandwidth – The Multimedia Router provides a channel bandwidth of 40 MHz by default giving an 802.11g connection speed of 108 Mbps (sometimes referred to as Turbo Mode) and a 802.11n connection speed of up to 150 Mbps. Setting the HT Channel Bandwidth to 20 MHz slows connection speed for 802.11g and 802.11n to 54
Wireless Settings5-255Mbps and 74 Mbps respectively and ensures backward compliance for slower 802.11b devices. (Default: 20/40MHz)•Guard Interval – The guard interval between symbols helps receivers overcome the effects of multipath delays. When you add a guard time, the back portion of useful signal time is copied and appended to the front. (Default: Auto)•MCS – The Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) is a value that determines the modulation, coding and number of spatial channels. (Options: value [range] = 0~7 (1 Tx Stream), 8~15 (2 TxStream), 32 and auto (33). Default: auto)•Reverse Direction Grant (RDG) – When enables Reverse Direction Grant, the Multimedia Router can reduce the transmitted data packet collision by using the reverse direction protocol. During TXOP (Transmission Opportunity) period, the receiver could use remaining transmission time to transmit data to a sender. The RDG improves transmission performance and scalability in a wireless environment. •Extension Channel – When 20/40MHz channel bandwidth has been set, the extension channel option will be enabled. The extension channel will allow you to get extra bandwidth. (Options: 2417MHz/Channel 2, 2457MHz/Channel 10. Default: 2457MHz/Channel 10.)•Aggregate MSDU (A-MSDU) – This option enables Mac Service Data Unit (MSDU) aggregation. (Default: Disable)•Auto Block ACK – Select to block ACK (Acknowledge Number) or not during data transferring.•Decline BA Request – Select to reject peer BA-Request or not.Other HT SettingsFigure 5-16.   HT Physical Mode Settings•HT TxStream – HT means High Throughput. The number of HT TxStream means how many antennas will transmit data simultaneously. (Options: 1 or 2. Default: 2)•HT RxStream – The number of HT RxStream means how many antennas will receive data simultaneously. (Options: 1 or 2. Default: 2)Advanced Wireless SettingsThe Advanced Setting page allows you to configure the more advanced radio settings, many of which are enabled by default.Click “Wireless Settings” followed by “Advanced”.
System Configuration5-265Figure 5-17.   Advanced Wireless Settings•BG Protection – Enables a backward compatible protection system for 802.11b clients. There are three modes. (Default: Auto): -Auto: The Multimedia Router enables its protection mechanism for 802.11b clients when they are detected in the network. When 802.11b clients are not detected, the protection mechanism is disabled.-On: Forces the unit to always use protection for 802.11b clients, whether they are detected in the network or not.-Off: Forces the unit to never use protection for 802.11b clients. This prevents 802.11b clients from connecting to the network.Note: Enabling “On” b/g Protection can slow throughput for 802.11g/n clients by as much as 50%. •Beacon Interval – The rate at which beacon signals are transmitted from the access point. The beacon signals allow wireless clients to maintain contact with the access point. They may also carry power-management information. (Range: 20-999 TUs; Default: 100 TUs)•Data Beacon Rate (DTIM) – The rate at which stations in sleep mode must wake up to receive broadcast/multicast transmissions. Known also as the Delivery Traffic Indication Map (DTIM) interval, it indicates how often the MAC layer forwards broadcast/multicast traffic, which is necessary to wake up stations that are using Power Save mode. The
Wireless Settings5-275default value of 2 indicates that the access point will save all broadcast/multicast frames for the Basic Service Set (BSS) and forward them after every second beacon. Using smaller DTIM intervals delivers broadcast/multicast frames in a more timely manner, causing stations in Power Save mode to wake up more often and drain power faster. Using higher DTIM values reduces the power used by stations in Power Save mode, but delays the transmission of broadcast/multicast frames. (Range: 1-255 beacons; Default: 1 beacon)•Fragment Threshold – Configures the minimum packet size that can be fragmented when passing through the access point. Fragmentation of the PDUs (Package Data Unit) can increase the reliability of transmissions because it increases the probability of a successful transmission due to smaller frame size. If there is significant interference present, or collisions due to high network utilization, try setting the fragment size to send smaller fragments. This will speed up the retransmission of smaller frames. However, it is more efficient to set the fragment size larger if very little or no interference is present because it requires overhead to send multiple frames. (Range: 256-2346 bytes; Default: 2346 bytes)•RTS Threshold – Sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send (RTS) signal must be sent to a receiving station prior to the sending station starting communications. The access point sends RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station sends a CTS (clear to send) frame to notify the sending station that it can start sending data. If the RTS threshold is set to 0, the access point always sends RTS signals. If set to 2347, the access point never sends RTS signals. If set to any other value, and the packet size equals or exceeds the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) mechanism will be enabled. The access points contending for the medium may not be aware of each other. The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node Problem.” (Range: 0-2347 bytes) •TX Power – Adjusts the power of the radio signals transmitted from the access point. The higher the transmission power, the farther the transmission range. Power selection is not just a trade off between coverage area and maximum supported clients. You also have to ensure that high-power signals do not interfere with the operation of other radio devices in the service area. •Short Preamble – Enables the length of the signal preamble that is used at the start of a data transmission. (Default: Disable)•Short Slot – Sets the basic unit of time the Multimedia Router’s uses for calculating waiting times before data is transmitted. Enabling a short slot time can increase data throughput on the Multimedia Router, but requires that all clients can support a short slot time (that is, 802.11g-compliant clients must support a short slot time). (Default: Enable)•Tx Burst – Enables data transmission bursting to boost throughput for high data transmissions. (Default: Enable)•Pkt_aggregation – Enables grouping together of some packets and sending them together to boost bandwidth. (Default: Enable)
System Configuration5-285Configuring Wi-Fi MultimediaWireless networks offer an equal opportunity for all devices to transmit data from any type of application. Although this is acceptable for most applications, multimedia applications (with audio and video) are particularly sensitive to the delay and throughput variations that result from this equal opportunity wireless access method. For multimedia applications to run well over a wireless network, a Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism is required to prioritize traffic types and provide an enhanced opportunity wireless access method. The access point implements QoS using the Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) standard. Using WMM, the access point is able to prioritize traffic and optimize performance when multiple applications compete for wireless network bandwidth at the same time. WMM employs techniques that are a subset of the developing IEEE 802.11e QoS standard and it enables the access point to inter operate with both WMM enabled clients and other devices that may lack any WMM functionality.Figure 5-18.   Wi-Fi Multimedia Settings•WMM Capable – Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), also known as Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WME), is a Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification. It provides basic Quality of Service (QoS) features for IEEE 802.11 wireless network. Enabling WMM support provides prioritization of Wi-Fi data packets on four categories voice, video, best effort, and background. (Default: Enabled)•APSD Capable – Auto Power Save Delivery is used for saving power consumption. APSD allows a longer beacon interval until the traffic arrives. (Default: Disable., See “Beacon Interval” on page 5-26)•DLS Capable – The Direct Link Setup (DLS) allows all clients transfer data more effectively. When enables DLS, the Multimedia Router will all clients on this unit to establish directly connection and speed up the data transmission, especially for multimedia data files. (Default: Disable)•WMM Parameters – Display the WMM Parameters.
Wireless Settings5-295Access Categories – WMM defines four access categories (ACs): voice, video, best effort, and background. These categories correspond to traffic priority levels and are mapped to IEEE 802.1D priority tags (see Table 5-1). The direct mapping of the four ACs to 802.1D priorities is specifically intended to facilitate inter operability with other wired network QoS policies. While the four ACs are specified for specific types of traffic, WMM allows the priority levels to be configured to match any network-wide QoS policy. WMM also specifies a protocol that access points can use to communicate the configured traffic priority levels to QoS-enabled wireless clients.WMM Operation — WMM uses traffic priority based on the four ACs; Voice, Video, Best Effort, and Background. The higher the AC priority, the higher the probability that data is transmitted. When the access point forwards traffic, WMM adds data packets to four independent transmit queues, one for each AC, depending on the 802.1D priority tag of the packet. Data packets without a priority tag are always added to the Best Effort AC queue. From the four queues, an internal “virtual” collision resolution mechanism first selects data with the highest priority to be granted a transmit opportunity. Then the same collision resolution mechanism is used externally to determine which device has access to the wireless medium. Figure 5-19.   WMM ParametersTable 5-1. WMM Access CategoriesAccess Category WMM Designation Description 802.1D TagsAC_VO (AC3) Voice Highest priority, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP (Voice over IP) calls.7, 6AC_VI (AC2) Video High priority, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as streaming video.5, 4AC_BE (AC0) Best Effort Normal priority, medium delay and throughput. Data only affected by long delays. Data from applications or devices that lack QoS capabilities.0, 3AC_BK (AC1) Background Lowest priority. Data with no delay or throughput requirements, such as bulk data transfers.2, 1
System Configuration5-305WMM Acknowledge Policy – By default, all wireless data transmissions require the sender to wait for an acknowledgement from the receiver. WMM allows the acknowledgement wait time to be turned off for each Access Category (AC). Although this increases data throughput, it can also result in a high number of errors when traffic levels are heavy. (Default: Acknowledge)WMM BSS Parameters – These parameters apply to the wireless clients.WMM AP Parameters – These parameters apply to the access point.•logCWMin (Minimum Contention Window) – The initial upper limit of the random backoff wait time before wireless medium access can be attempted. The initial wait time is a random value between zero and the CWMin value. Specify the CWMin value in the range 0-15 microseconds. Note that the CWMin value must be equal or less than the CWMax value.•logCWMax (Maximum Contention Window) – The maximum upper limit of the random backoff wait time before wireless medium access can be attempted. The contention window is doubled after each detected collision up to the CWMax value. Specify the CWMax value in the range 0-15 microseconds. Note that the CWMax value must be greater or equal to the CWMin value. •AIFS (Arbitration Inter-Frame Space) – The minimum amount of wait time before the next data transmission attempt. Specify the AIFS value in the range 0-15 microseconds. •TXOP Limit (Transmit Opportunity Limit) – The maximum time an AC transmit queue has access to the wireless medium. When an AC queue is granted a transmit opportunity, it can transmit data for a time up to the TxOpLimit. This data bursting greatly improves the efficiency for high data-rate traffic. Specify a value in the range 0-65535 microseconds.•Admission Control – The admission control mode for the access category. When enabled, clients are blocked from using the access category. (Default: Disable) WLAN SecurityThe Multimedia Router’s wireless interface is configured by default as an “open system,” which broadcasts a beacon signal including the configured SSID. Wireless clients with a configured SSID of “ANY” can read the SSID from the beacon, and automatically set their SSID to allow immediate connection to the wireless network.To improve wireless network security, you have to implement two main functions:•Authentication – It must be verified that clients attempting to connect to the network are authorized users.•Traffic Encryption – Data passing between the unit and clients must be protected from interception and eavesdropping.For a more secure network, the Multimedia Router can implement one or a combination of the following security mechanisms:• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)The security mechanisms that may be employed depend on the level of security required, the network and management resources available, and the software support provided on wireless clients. Click on “Wireless Settings,” followed by “Security”.
Wireless Settings5-315SecurityThe Multimedia Router supports two virtual access point (VAP) interfaces referred to as WLAN1 and WLAN2. Each VAP functions as a separate access point, and can be configured with its own security settings.Click on “Wireless Settings,” followed by “Security”.Figure 5-20.   Wireless Security SettingsSecurity Settings — The security settings determine the security mode and enable WEP keys. •Security Mode – Configures the security mode used by clients.(WLAN1/WLAN2 Defaults: Open)
System Configuration5-325-Open: Open-system authentication accepts any client attempting to connect the Multimedia Router without verifying its identity. In this mode the default encryption type is "None". -Shared: The shared-key approach uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) to verify client identity by distributing a shared key to clients before attempting authentication. -WEP Auto: Allows WLAN clients to associate using Open-WEP (uses WEP for encryption only) or Shared-WEP (uses WEP for authentication and encryption). If enabled, you must configure at least one key for the VAP interface and all its clients. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides a basic level of security, preventing unauthorized access to the network and encrypting data transmitted between wireless clients and the Multimedia Router. WEP uses static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are manually distributed to all clients that want to use the network.
Wireless Settings5-335-WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK: The WPA or WPA2 mode uses a common password phrase, called a Pre-Shared Key, that must be manually distributed to all clients that want to connect to the network. Specify a key as an easy-to-remember form of letters and numbers. The WPA Preshared Key can be input as ASCII string (8-63 characters) or Hexadecimal format (length is 64). All wireless clients must be configured with the same key to communicate with the VAP interface.Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is designed to ease installation and activation of security features in wireless networks. WPS has two basic modes of operation, Push-button Configuration (PBC) and Personal Identification Number (PIN). The WPS PIN setup is optional to the PBC setup and provides more security. The WPS button in the Tools > Network Setting > Router Setting On-Screen Display (OSD) menu can be selected at any time to allow a single device to easily join the network.Note: WPS settings only apply to WLAN1.The WPS Settings page includes configuration options for setting WPS device PIN codes and activating the virtual WPS button.Click on “Wireless Settings,” followed by ‘WPS”.

Firewall5-355Figure 5-22.   WPS Progress SettingsWPS Configuration — Configures WPS settings for the Multimedia Router.•WPS Mode – Selects between methods of broadcasting the WPS beacon to network clients wanting to join the network:-PIN: The Multimedia Router, along with other WPS devices, such as notebook PCs, cameras, or phones, all come with their own eight-digit PIN code. When one device, the WPS enrollee, sends a PIN code to the Multimedia Router, it becomes the WPS registrar. After configuring PIN-Code information you must press “Apply” to send the beacon, after which you have up to two minutes to activate WPS on devices that need to join the network.-PBC: This has the same effect as tapping the WPS button in Tools > Network Setting > Router Setting On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. After checking this option and clicking “Apply”, you have up to two minutes to activate WPS on devices that need to join the network.Station ListDisplay the station information which associated to this Multimedia Router.Figure 5-23.

System Configuration5-365MAC/IP/Port FilteringMAC/IP/Port filtering restricts connection parameters to limit the risk of intrusion and defends against a wide array of common hacker attacks. IP/Port filtering allows the unit to permit, deny or proxy traffic through its MAC addresses, IP addresses and ports. The Multimedia Router allows you define a sequential list of permit or deny filtering rules (up to 32). This device tests ingress packets against the filter rules one by one. A packet will be accepted as soon as it matches a permit rule, or dropped as soon as it matches a deny rule. If no rules match, the packet is either accepted or dropped depending on the default policy setting. Figure 5-24.

Network Time Protocol (NTP)NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time across the network. The time servers operate in a hierarchical-master-slave configuration in order to synchronize local clocks within the subnet and to national time standards via wire or radio.
Glossary-3GlossaryOpen SystemA security option which broadcasts a beacon signal including the access point’s configured SSID. Wireless clients can read the SSID from the beacon, and automatically reset their SSID to allow immediate connection to the nearest access point. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (ODFM)OFDM allows multiple users to transmit in an allocated band by dividing the bandwidth into many narrow bandwidth carriers.Repeater and BridgeRepeater and bridge can provide an extended link to a remote access point from the wired LAN. Access Point working in this mode could connect to another AP in Access Point mode or Repeater and Bridge mode. Whenever there are two APs having wireless link together (one in Access Point or Repeater and Bridge mode, another using Repeater and Bridge mode), and also have wired link separately, these two APs are also working as “bridging” for the two wired links.Service Set Identifier (SSID)An identifier that is attached to packets sent over the wireless LAN and functions as a password for joining a particular radio cell; i.e., Basic Service Set (BSS). Session KeySession keys are unique to each client, and are used to authenticate a client connection, and correlate traffic passing between a specific client and the access point.Shared KeyA shared key can be used to authenticate each client attached to a wireless network. Shared Key authentication must be used along with the 802.11 Wireless Equivalent Privacy algorithm. Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)SNTP allows a device to set its internal clock based on periodic updates from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Updates can be requested from a specific NTP server, or can be received via broadcasts sent by NTP servers.Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)A data encryption method designed as a replacement for WEP.
