that supports WPA-PSK. The WPA-PSK settings include Key Format, Length and Value. They
must be as same as each wireless client in your wireless network. When Key format is
Passphrase, the key value should have 8-64 ACSII characters.
Key Renewal Interval:
The WPA Algorithm will regroup the key for a period. The default value is 3600 seconds and you
can adjust the time interval.
Access Policy
For each SSID, the Access Policy can be selected and setup. The policy includes “Reject” and
“Allow”. The Reject policy rejects the station according to the MAC table in the policy configuration,
and let the other stations to connect. The allow policy performs reversely.
Add a station MAC: Key in station MAC Address in the text field. The valid format of the MAC

A De-Militarized Zone is used to provide Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized access
to its local private network. Typically, the DMZ host contains devices accessible to Internet traffic,
such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers and DNS servers. So that all
inbound packets will be redirected to the computer you set. Generally it is not recommended to
setup DMZ due to fully exposed the PC/server to the Internet, but for some application using
uncertain incoming ports such as Internet games, it is could be useful to setup DMZ for the
