• Schedule
• Port Trigger
• Port Forward
• Port Range Forward
• QoS
Internet
This screen provides access to the DMZ and URL Filter features.
DMZ
This feature, if enabled, allows the DMZ computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on
the Internet.
57
• This allows almost any application to be used on the "DMZ PC".
• The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data.
• If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must enter the IP address of the PC to be used as the
"DMZ PC".
The "DMZ PC" is effectively outside the Firewall, mak-
ing it more vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, you
should only enable the DMZ feature when required.
URL Filter
If you want to limit access to certain sites on the Internet, you can use this feature. The URL
filter will check each Web site access. If the address, or part of the address, is included in the
block site list, access will be denied.
On the Advanced Internet screen, select the desired setting:
• Disable - disable this feature.
• Block Always - allow blocking all of the time, independent of the Schedule page.
• Block By Schedule - block according to the settings on the Schedule page.
Click the Configure URL Filter button to open the URL Filter screen, allowing you to create
or modify the filter strings which determine which sites will be blocked.
The URL Filter screen is displayed when the Configure URL Filter button on the Internet
screen is clicked.

Internet. For this PC, the URL filter will be ignored.
If enabled, you must select the PC to be the trusted PC.
Trusted PC Select the PC to be the Trusted PC.
Access Control
This feature is accessed by the Access Control link on the Advanced menu.
Overview
The Access Control feature allows administrators to restrict the level of Internet Access avail-
able to PCs on your LAN. With the default settings, everyone has unrestricted Internet access.
Restrictions are imposed by blocking "Services", or types of
connections. All common Services are pre-defined.
If required, you can also define your own Services.
Access Control Screen
To view this screen, select the Access Control link on the Advanced menu.
Data - Access Control Screen
Internet Access
Access Control Select the desired options for the current group:
• Disable - Nothing is blocked. Use this to create the least
restrictive group.
• Block all Internet access - All traffic via the WAN port is
blocked. Use this to create the most restrictive group.
• Block selected Services - You can select which Services are to
block. Use this to gain fine control over the Internet access for
a group.
60
Blocked Services This lists all defined Services. Select the Services you wish to
block. To select multiple services, hold the CTRL key while
selecting. (On the Macintosh, hold the SHIFT key rather than
CTRL.)
Schedule If Internet access is being blocked, you can choose to apply the
blocking only during scheduled times. (If access is not blocked, no
Scheduling is possible, and this setting has no effect.)
Trusted PCs

Trusted PC Screen
This screen is displayed when the Set Trusted PCs button on the Access Control screen is
clicked.
Use this screen to add or remove PCs from the current group.
• The "Del >>" button will remove the selected PC (in the Trusted PCs list) from the current
group.
• The "<< Add" button will add the selected PC (in the Other PCs list) to the Trusted PCs
group.
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)
This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows
Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your
IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you.
DDNS Services work as follows:
1. You must register for the service at one of the listed DDNS Service providers.
2. After registration, use the Service provider's normal procedure to obtain your desired
Domain name.
3. Enter your DDNS data on the Wireless ADSL Router's DDNS screen, and enable the
DDNS feature.
4. The Wireless ADSL Router will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is
recorded at the DDNS service provider's Domain Name Server.
5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC)
using your Domain name, as shown on this screen.
Dynamic DNS Screen
Select Advanced on the main menu, then Dynamic DNS, to see a screen like the following:

Advanced Administration
Overview
Normally, it is not necessary to use these screens, or change any settings. These screens and
settings are provided to deal with non-standard situations, or to provide additional options for
advanced users.
The available settings and features are:
PC Database This is the list of PCs shown when you select the "DMZ PC" or a
"Virtual Server". This database is maintained automatically, but
you can add and delete entries for PCs which use a Fixed (Static)
IP Address.
Config File Backup or restore the configuration file for the Wireless ADSL
Router. This file contains all the configuration data.
Logs & Email View or clear all logs, set E-Mailing of log files and alerts.
Diagnostics Perform a Ping or DNS Lookup.
Remote Admin Allow settings to be changed from the Internet.
Routing Only required if your LAN has other Routers or Gateways.
Upgrade Firmware Upgrade the Firmware (software) installed in your Wireless
ADSL Router.
72
PC Database
The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC).
• It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses.
• Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your LAN.
However, if you do use a fixed IP address on some devices on your LAN, you should enter
details of each such device into the PC database, using the PC Database screen.
PC Database Screen
An example PC Database screen is shown below.
• PCs which are "DHCP Clients" are automatically added to the database, and updated as
required.
• By default, non-Server versions of Windows act as "DHCP Clients"; this setting is called
"Obtain an IP Address automatically".
• The Wireless ADSL Router uses the "Hardware Address" to identify each PC, not the
name or IP address. The "Hardware Address" can only change if you change the PC's
network card or adapter.
• This system means you do NOT need to use Fixed (static) IP addresses on your LAN.
However, you can add PCs using Fixed (static) IP Addresses to the PC database
if required.

Routing
Overview
• If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing"
page completely.
• If the Wireless ADSL Router is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment,
ignore the "Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers.
• If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the Wireless ADSL
Router is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Pro-
tocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.
• If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN seg-
ments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure
the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.)
• If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the Wire-

Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the Wireless
ADSL Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To
achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the Wireless ADSL Router as the
Default Route or Default Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Wireless ADSL
Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the Wireless ADSL Router itself. Typi-
cally, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows.
Destination IP Address Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Network Mask Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Gateway IP Address The IP Address of the Wireless ADSL Router.
Metric 1
157B
Other Routers on the Local LAN
Other routers on the local LAN must use the Wireless ADSL Router's Local Router as the
Default Route. The entries will be the same as the Wireless ADSL Router's local router, with
the exception of the Gateway IP Address.
• For a router with a direct connection to the Wireless ADSL Router's local Router, the
Gateway IP Address is the address of the Wireless ADSL Router's local router.
• For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the Wireless
ADSL Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermediate
router.

Upgrade Firmware
The firmware (software) in the Wireless ADSL Router can be upgraded using your Web
Browser.
You must first download the upgrade file, then select Upgrade Firmware on the Administra-
tion menu. You will see a screen like the following.
To perform the Firmware Upgrade:
1. Click the Browse button and navigate to the location of the upgrade file.
2. Select the upgrade file. Its name will appear in the Upgrade File field.
3. Click the Upload button to commence the firmware upgrade.
The Wireless ADSL Router is unavailable during the
upgrade process, and must restart when the up-
grade is completed. Any connections to or through
the Wireless ADSL Router will be lost.

Modem Mode
Overview
There are two modes available on the Mode screen.
• Router - Both the ADSL Modem and the Router features are operational. In this mode,
this device can provide shared Internet Access to all your LAN users. Also, by default, it
acts a DHCP Server, providing an IP address and related information to all Wireless and
LAN users.
• Modem - Only the ADSL Modem component is operational. All Router features are
disabled. This device is "transparent" - it does not perform any operations or make any
changes to the network traffic passing through it. You need to have a DHCP Server on
your LAN to provide IP addresses to the Wireless clients using this Access Point.
This Chapter describes operation while in Modem Mode, also called Bridge Mode.
Management Connections
When this device restarts in Modem mode, the IP address does not change, but the DHCP
server is disabled. However, your PC will usually retain the IP address provided by the DHCP
Server, so the connection will be automatically re-established. You then need to ensure that the
IP address of this modem is suitable for your LAN.
• You need to have a DHCP Server on your LAN to provide IP addresses to the Wireless
clients using this Access Point.
• This Modem/AP must be a valid device on your LAN, to allow management connections.
You must assign a (fixed) IP address which is within the address range used on your LAN,
but not within the address range used by your DHCP server.
When you connect in future, just connect normally, using the IP address you assigned.
1. Start your WEB browser.
2. In the Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the current IP Address of the Wireless ADSL
Modem, as in this example, which uses the Wireless ADSL Modem's default IP Address:
HTTP://192.168.0.1
3. When prompted for the User name and Password, enter admin for the user name, and the
current password, as set on the password screen. (The password is the same regardless of
the mode.)
Home Screen
If in Modem mode, the home screen will look like the example below.
Note that the menu has changed, many of the options in Router mode are not available. The
screens available are:
• Mode - change back to Router mode, if desired.
• LAN - set IP address, mask and gateway. This is the same as in Router mode, except that
the DHCP server is not available while in Modem mode.
• Wireless - this screen, and related sub-screens, is the same as in Router mode.
• Password - this screen is the same as in Router mode.
• Upgrade FW - this screen is the same as in Router mode.
• Status - displays current settings and status. See the following section for details.

Device Name This field displays the current name of this device.
Device Mode Select the desired device mode for the router:
• Router - Both the ADSL Modem and the Router features are opera-
tional. In this mode, this device can provide shared Internet Access to
all your LAN users. Also, by default, it acts a DHCP Server, provid-
ing an IP address and related information to all Wireless and LAN
users.
• Modem - Only the ADSL Modem component is operational. All
Router features are disabled. This device is "transparent" - it does not
perform any operations or make any changes to the network traffic
passing through it. You need to have a DHCP Server on your LAN to
provide IP addresses to the Wireless clients using this Access Point.
This mode is also called Bridge Mode.
After changing the mode, this device will restart, which will take a few
seconds. The menu will also change, depending on the mode you are in.
Operation
Operation is automatic and transparent.
• Wireless clients can connect to the Access Point if they have the correct SSID and security,
but they must obtain an IP address from the DHCP Server on your LAN.
• The modem will act like any other ADSL modem. No routing will be performed, and no
client login will be done. If a client login is required, it must be performed by your Rou-
ter/Gateway or by software on your PC.

Appendix
Troubleshooting
This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Wireless
ADSL Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the
Wireless ADSL Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice.
General Problems
Problem 1: Can't connect to the Wireless ADSL Router to configure it.
Solution 1: Check the following:
• The Wireless ADSL Router is properly installed, LAN connections are
OK, and it is powered ON.
• Ensure that your PC and the Wireless ADSL Router are on the same
network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
• If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP
client), restart it.
• If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP
Address within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thus com-
patible with the Wireless ADSL Router's default IP Address of
192.168.0.1.
Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the
Wireless ADSL Router.
In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel-
Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.
Internet Access
Problem 1: When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.
Solution 1: A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting
steps.
• Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP settings
are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Network
Mask, Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address.
• If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the
Wireless ADSL Router. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to
it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and
power connections.)
• Check the Wireless ADSL Router's status screen to see if it is working
correctly.
Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless ADSL
Router.
Solution 2: The Wireless ADSL Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not
transparent.
For incoming connections, you must use the Virtual Server or Firewall
Appendix A - Troubleshooting
Rules to specify the PC which will receive the incoming traffic.
You can also use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every
application, but:
• It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.
• Only one (1) PC can use this feature.
Wireless Access
Problem 1: My PC can't locate the Wireless Access Point.
Solution 1: Check the following.
• Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in
Infrastructure Mode)
• The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same.
Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example
"Workgroup" does NOT match "workgroup".
• Both your PC and the Wireless ADSL Router must have the same
setting for WEP. The default setting for the Wireless ADSL Router is
disabled, so your wireless station should also have WEP disabled.
• If WEP is enabled on the Wireless ADSL Router, your PC must have
WEP enabled, and the key must match.
• If the Wireless ADSL Router's Wireless screen is set to Allow Trusted
PCs only, then each of your Wireless stations must have been designat-
ed as "Trusted", or the Wireless station will be blocked.
• To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is
possible when close to the Wireless ADSL Router.
Remember that the connection range can be as little as 100 feet in poor
environments.
Problem 2: Wireless connection speed is very slow.
Solution 2: The wireless system will connect at the highest possible speed, depending
on the distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connec-
tion speed, you can experiment with the following:
• Wireless ADSL Router location.
Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Wireless ADSL Rou-
ter.
• Wireless Channel
If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a
marked improvement.
• Radio Interference
Other devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by
switching other devices Off, and see if this helps. Any "noisy" devices
should be shielded or relocated.
• RF Shielding
Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless
stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close
to the Wireless ADSL Router.
About Wireless LANs
Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes:
• Ad-hoc
• Infrastructure
Ad-hoc Mode
Ad-hoc mode does not require an Access Point or a wired (Ethernet) LAN. Wireless Sta-
tions (e.g. notebook PCs with wireless cards) communicate directly with each other.
Infrastructure Mode
In Infrastructure Mode, one or more Access Points are used to connect Wireless Stations
(e.g. Notebook PCs with wireless cards) to a wired (Ethernet) LAN. The Wireless Stations
can then access all LAN resources.
Note: Access Points can only function in “Infrastructure” mode and can only communicate
with other Wireless Stations that are set to “Infrastructure” mode.
BSS/ESS
BSS
A group of Wireless Stations and a single Access Point, all using the same ID (SSID), form a
Basic Service Set (BSS).
Using the same SSID is essential. Devices with different SSIDs are unable to communicate
with each other.
ESS
A group of Wireless Stations, and multiple Access Points, all using the same ID (ESSID), form
an Extended Service Set (ESS).
Different Access Points within an ESS can use different Channels. In fact, to reduce interfe-
rence, it is recommended that adjacent Access Points SHOULD use different channels.
As Wireless Stations are physically moved through the area covered by an ESS, they will
automatically change to the Access Point which has the least interference or best performance.
This capability is called Roaming. (Access Points do not have or require Roaming capabilities.)
Channels
The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication.
• Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to
choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA
and Canada, 11 channels are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adja-
cent Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference.
• In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an
Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest signal
is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.)
98
• If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the
same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there
is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join.
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted.
This is desirable because it is impossible to prevent snoopers from receiving any data which is
transmitted by your Wireless Stations. But if the data is encrypted, then it is meaningless
unless the receiver can decrypt it.
If WEP is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings
for each of the following:
WEP Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit
Key For 64 Bit encryption, the Key value must match.
For 128 Bit encryption, the Key value must match
WEP Authentication Open System or Shared Key.
WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK is another standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted. This is a later
standard than WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), and provides greater security for your data.
Data is encrypted using a 256Bit key which is automatically generated and changed often.
If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use this instead of WEP.
If WPA-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same
settings for each of the following:
WPA PSK
(Pre-shared Key) Enter the same value on every station and the AP. The PSK
must be from 8 to 63 characters in length. The 256Bit key
used for the actual encryption is derived from this key.
Encryption The same encryption method must be used. The most
common encryption method is TKIP. Another widely-
supported method is AES.
WPA2-PSK
This is a later version of WPA (WPA-PSK). The major change is the use of AES (Advanced
Encryption System) for protecting data. AES is very secure, considered to be unbreakable. The
PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless station.
If WPA2-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same
settings for each of the following:
WPA2 PSK
(Pre-shared Key) Enter the same value on every station and the AP. The PSK
must be from 8 to 63 characters in length. The 256Bit key
used for the actual encryption is derived from this key.
100
Encryption The same encryption method must be used. The most
common encryption method is TKIP. Another widely-
supported method is AES.
WPA-802.1x
This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client authentica-
tion according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA
standard.
If this option is used:
• The Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required.
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically generated,
so no key input is required.
Wireless LAN Configuration
To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point
must use the same settings, as follows:
Mode On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastructure".
(The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.)
SSID (ESSID) Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access
Point they wish to connect to. Alternatively, the SSID can be set to
"any" or null (blank) to allow connection to any Access Point.
Wireless
Security The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings
for Wireless security. (None, WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, Mixed
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, 802.1x).
For Ad-hoc networks (no Access Point), all Wireless stations must
use the same security settings.
