4.1 Wireless Status
Introduction
The Wireless Status page provides you an overview of the wireless settings that are
currently used by your HSG.
Overview
The following settings are available:
Radio Enabled:
Displays whether the HSG’s wireless radio is active.
SSID:
To be able to distinguish one wireless network from another, each wireless
network has its own network name, often referred to as Service Set IDentifier
(SSID). All your wireless devices on your network must use this network name.
Channel:
Displays the channel to which the wireless connection is currently set. When you
select Automatic (default setting), the HSG automatically selects the best
channel for your wireless communication. The actual channel will then be
displayed between parentheses (for example, Automatic (6) indicates that
channel 6 is selected)
Security Enabled:
Displays whether wireless security is enabled. If security is enabled, the HSG is
using one of the following encryption types to secure your wireless connection:
WEP 64-bit:
The oldest and also most encryption type. We recommend to use WPA instead.
Only use it if your wireless client does not support WPA.
WPA+WPA2:
This is a mixed mode. In this mode WPA2, is the preferred encryption type but
wireless clients do not support WPA2, can still use WPA as encryption type.
Choose this option if not all of your wireless clients support WPA2 or if you are
not sure. Wireless clients that support WPA2 will use WPA2, the others will use
WPA.
4GUI: Wireless Settings
DMS-CTC-20110909-0007 v0.1 31
DRAFT
WPA2 (default):
The most recent and most secure version of WPA. Choose this version if you
are sure that all your wireless clients support WPA2.
WPA:
The first version of WPA. Choose this option if you are sure that none of your
wireless clients support WPA2.
When you connect to the HSG, you have to enter the key that is listed next to
the encryption type.
SSID Broadcast:
Displays whether the HSG is broadcasting its SSID. If activated, the SSID will
appear in the list when a wireless client scans for available networks. For more
information, see “4.3.2 SSID Broadcast” on page 37.
MAC Authentication:
If MAC authentication is enabled, only wireless clients that are included in the
Access list are allowed to connect. For more information, see “4.3.3 Wireless MAC
Authentication” on page 38.
Wireless Mode:
Displays the types of wireless device that can join the network. Options include:
Compatibility Mode (802.11b/g/n)
In this mode 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n can be used to connect to the HSG.
Legacy Mode (802.11b/g)
In this mode only 802.11b- and 802.11g connections can be used to connect
to the HSG. 802.11n connections are not allowed
Received Packets:
The number of packets received and sent since the HSG’s wireless capability was
activated.
Sent Packets:
Displays the number of packets received and sent since the HSG’s wireless
capability was activated.

4.2 Basic Security Settings
Introduction
The Basic Security Settings page allows you to configure the basic wireless settings
of your HSG in a step-by-step approach.
Overview of the steps
This section describes:
Step 1: Turn Wireless ON/OFF
Step 2: Change the SSID setting to any name or code you want
Step 3: Channel
Step 4: Click on the button next to WEP
Step 5: Select a WEP Key
Step 6: Turn WPS ON
Step 7: Write down wireless settings
Step 1: Turn Wireless ON/OFF
If you are not using your wireless connection, you might consider to turn it off.
Make sure that nobody is using the wireless connection before turning it off.
Step 2: Change the SSID setting to any name or code you want
If you want to change the default network name of your wireless network, type the
new network name in the SSID box.
Step 3: Channel
If you want to change the channel for your wireless communication, select a new
channel in the Channel list.
We recommend you to use Automatic (this is also the default). When Automatic is
selected the HSG will choose the channel that has the least interference. Only
change it if you experience wireless connectivity problems.
4GUI: Wireless Settings
DMS-CTC-20110909-0007 v0.1 33
DRAFT
Step 4: Click on the button next to WEP
In this step you are able to use WEP encryption to secure your wireless connection.
WEP has been proven to have some security issues. It is recommended to keep the
Off option selected and use WPA(2) instead. For more information, see
“4.3.1 Securing Your Wireless Connection” on page 36.
The only reason why you might consider to use WEP is if you have older wireless
devices in your network that only support WEP.
Step 5: Select a WEP Key
If you did choose to use WEP, this step allows you to choose the WEP key.
1In the Select a WEP key list, select:
64/40 bit and Hex to enter a combination of 10 digits. You can choose any
letter from A-F or any number from 0-9. For example: 0FB310FF28.
64/40 bit and ASCII to enter a combination of 5 ASCII characters. For example:
hello.
128/104 bit and Hex to enter a combination of 26 digits. You can choose any
letter from A-F or any number from 0-9. Sample HEX WEP Key:
0FB310FF280FB310FF28123456.
128/104 bit and ASCII to enter a combination of 13 ASCII characters. For
example: sayhelloworld.
2Enter the key of your choice in the Key Code box.
3If needed, complete the other steps
4Click Apply on the bottom of the page.
Step 6: Turn WPS ON
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to add new wireless clients to your local
network in a swift and easy way, without the need to enter any of your wireless
settings (network name, wireless key, encryption type).
WPS can only be turned on if you are using WPA or WPA2 to encrypt your wireless
connection. If WEP or no encryption is used, the selection will be unavailable.
To turn WPS on/off:
1Under WPS, select On/Off.

4.3 Advanced Security Settings
Introduction
The Advanced Security Settings page allows you to take your wireless security to
the next level.
To improve the security of your wireless network you can add the following security
levels:
Level 1: Encrypt your wireless traffic with a wireless key to make sure that only
the sender and the receiver can read the data that is sent over your wireless
connection.
For more information, see “4.3.1 Securing Your Wireless Connection” on page 36.
Level 2: Disable the broadcasting of your wireless network name to hide your
wireless network from other users.
For more information, see “4.3.2 SSID Broadcast” on page 37.
Level 3: Limit access to your wireless network for certain devices.
Limit access based on the MAC address of the wireless device.
For more information, see “4.3.3 Wireless MAC Authentication” on page 38.
Limit access based on the wireless mode supported by the wireless device.
For more information, see “4.3.4 802.11b/g/n Mode” on page 39.

4.3.1 Securing Your Wireless Connection
Encryption types
The HSG supports the following encryption types:
WEP:
The least safe encryption type used for wireless connections. WEP has been
proven to have security issues. Only use this encryption if your wireless device
does not support WPA(2).
WPA+WPA2:
This is a mixed mode. In this mode WPA2, is the preferred encryption type but
wireless clients do not support WPA2, can still use WPA as encryption type.
Choose this option if not all of your wireless clients support WPA2 or if you are
not sure. Wireless clients that support WPA2 will use WPA2, the others will use
WPA.
WPA2 (default):
The most recent and most secure version of WPA. Choose this version if you are
sure that all your wireless clients support WPA2.
WPA:
The first version of WPA. Choose this option if you are sure that none of your
wireless clients support WPA2.
None
If you want to configure WPA2 on the built-in wireless utility of Windows
XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), you first have to:
Upgrade your Windows XP to Service Pack 3.
- or -
Install the following update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917021.
Although the HSG allows you to use WEP or no security, we strongly advise against
using on of them! We recommend you to use WPA2.
Changing the encryption type
1On the Wireless Settings menu, click Advanced Security Settings.
2Under Level 1, select the encryption type of your choice.
3Enter a the pre-shared key of your choice or use the default one.
4Click Apply.

4.3.2 SSID Broadcast
SSID
To be able to distinguish one wireless network from another, each wireless network
has its own network name, often referred to as Service Set IDentifier (SSID). All your
wireless devices on your network must use this network name (and the correct
encryption).
Broadcast
By default, the HSG broadcasts its wireless SSID. Wireless clients can then detect the
presence of your network and inform the users that this network is available.
Note Enabling SSID broadcast does not mean that everyone can connect to your
network. They still need the correct wireless key to connect to the HSG
network. It only informs them that your network is present.
Disabling SSID Broadcast
Proceed as follows:
1On the Wireless Settings menu, click Advanced Security Settings.
2Under Level 2, click SSID Broadcast.
3The SSID Broadcast page appears:
Click:
Enable to allow wireless clients to see your wireless network.
Disable to prevent wireless clients from seeing your wireless network.

4.3.3 Wireless MAC Authentication
MAC Address
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique hexadecimal code that identifies a
device on a network. Each network device has such a MAC address.
MAC Authentication
When using MAC authentication, you allow or deny devices to access to your
network based on their MAC address.
Warning: MAC authentication alone is not enough!
Wireless MAC Authentication only offers a limited level of security. Hackers can
easily detect a trusted MAC addresses and clone this trusted MAC address to their
own computer, which will enables them to pass the MAC authentication filter. That’s
why it is important that you first secure your wireless connection (preferably with a
WPA encryption key). This way hackers won’t be able to interpret your wireless
traffic.
Enabling MAC
Proceed as follows:
1On the Wireless Settings menu, click Advanced Security Settings.
2Under Level 3, click Wireless MAC Authentication.
3Select Enable Access List.
4Select:
Accept all devices listed below if you want to block all devices by default.
Deny all devices listed below if you want to allow all devices by default.
5Now you can add exceptions to the default rule: enter the MAC addresses of the
device in the Client MAC Address box and click Add. Repeat this step for each
device.
Note If you choose Accept all devices listed below and you are currently
connected using a wireless connection, make sure to add the MAC
address of your wireless client. If you do not do so, your will
disconnected from the wireless network.

8.6 DNS Server
Introduction
The Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names into IP addresses and
vice versa. The HSG’s DNS server is an auto-learning DNS, which means that when a
new computer is connected to the network, the DNS server learns its name and
automatically adds it to the DNS table. Other network users can immediately
communicate with this computer using either its name or its IP address.
Services offered
The following services are provided by the DNS server of the HSG:
Shares a common database of domain names and IP addresses with the DHCP
server.
Supports multiple subnets within the local network simultaneously.
Automatically appends a domain name to unqualified names.
Allows new domain names to be added to the database using the HSG’s GUI.
Permits a computer to have multiple host names.
Permits a host name to have multiple IPs (needed if a host has multiple network
cards).
Configuration
The DNS Server does not require configuration. However, the list of computers
known by the DNS can be viewed or a new computer can be added to the list.
Viewing DNS Table

8.10 IP Address Distribution
Introduction
The HSG’s DHCP server makes it possible to easily add computers configured as
DHCP clients to the network. It provides a mechanism for allocating IP addresses to
these hosts and for delivering network configuration parameters to them.
For example, a client (host) sends out a broadcast message on the network
requesting an IP address for itself. The DHCP server then checks its list of available
addresses and leases a local IP address to the host for a specific period of time and
simultaneously designates this IP address as “taken.” At this point, the host is
configured with an IP address for the duration of the lease.
The host can choose to renew an expiring lease or let it expire. If it chooses to renew
a lease, it will also receive current information about network services,
as it did with the original lease, allowing it to update its network configurations to
reflect any changes that occurred since it first connected to the network. If the host
wishes to terminate a lease before its expiration, it can send a release message to the
DHCP server, which will then make the IP address available for use by others.
HSG DHCP server functions
The DHCP server of the HSG:
Displays a list of all DHCP hosts devices connected to the HSG.
Defines the range of IP addresses that can be allocated in the network.
Defines the length of time for which dynamic IP addresses are allocated.
Provides the above configurations for each network device and can be
configured and enabled/disabled separately for each network device.
Can assign a static lease to a network computer so that it receives the same IP
address each time it connects to the network, even if this IP address is within the
range of addresses that the DHCP server may assign to other computers.
Provides the DNS server with the host name and IP address of each computer
connected to the network.
