 8 Section 2 – Installation  Wireless Installation Considerations  The VW200 wireless router let your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF noise in your home or business. 1.  Router should be placed at the position with good CDMA signal. 2.  Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the VW200 and other network devices to a minimum-each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 1~30 meters. Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized. 3.  Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal. 4.  Keep your product away (at least 1~2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise. 5.  If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X – 10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use.

 17 Section 3 – Configuration
 18 Section 3 – Configuration ≫ Wireless Security Setting  Here are a few different ways you can maximize the security of your wireless network and protect your data from prying eyes and ears. This section is intended for the home, home office, and small office user. At the time of this User Manual’s publication, there are two encryption methods available.               Security Using Password Security Type : Select a Security Type from drop-down menu.   ¾ None(open) & Shared – In this mode, a wireless device must know the       WEP key to join the network.  ¾ WPA-PSK & WPA-PSK2 - In this mode, Wi-Fi protected access with Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK and WPA-PSK2) data encryption provides extremely strong data security, very effectively blocking eaves dropping.
 19 Section 3 – Configuration Uses a pass phrase or key to authenticate your wireless      connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols and spaces.  Encryption Type : Select an Encryption Type from drop-down menu   ¾ None(open) & Shared   ¾ WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - WEP provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it its protected as it is transmitted from one wireless device to another. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. In this mode, this is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi-Fi compliant wireless products. WEP was designed to give wireless networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired network. ¾ WPA-PSK & WPA-PSK2.   ¾ TKIP & AES - Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol(TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) instead of TKIP.  Security using Mac Address    The MAC address security is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which computers are allowed on the network. When you use this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client (computer) on your network to allow network access to each.  Policy : Select a Policy from the three different modes: ¾ Open – In this mode, there is no restriction to any device connected to        the Modem whether it is through Wi-Fi or Ethernet ports. ¾ Deny – In this mode, the service table shows the client \ MAC address   being blocked by the Modem. ¾ Allow – In this mode, the service table shows the client MAC address   allowed by the Modem.    Note: You will not be able to delete the MAC address of the computer you are using to access the Router’s administrative functions (the computer you are using now).
 20 Section 3 – Configuration  Traffic Control  ≫Port Forwarding Using the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on your local network. For example, you might make a local Web server, FRTP server visible and available to the Internet. Clicking on the header of the “Port Forwarding” tab will take you to the “Port Forwarding” header page. This function will allow you to route external (Internet) calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other applications through your Router to your internal network. You will need to contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need. To enter settings, select the Protocol from the dropdown box, you will see a list of common applications (TCP,UCP). Select the desired applications, enter the IP address and the port number in the space provided for the internal (server) machine and click “Add” & “Apply”.
 21 Section 3 – Configuration  ≫Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)  The DMZ feature is helpful when you using some on line WEB, FTP, Telnet, E-Mail conferencing application. The modem is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but there are other applications that might not function well. Incoming traffic from the internet is usually discarded by the modem unless the traffic is a response to one of your local computers. The computer in the DMZ is NOT protected from hacker attacks.    ≫Irregular FTP    You can use this function if you wish to connect to external irregular FTP port. You can use maximum of five irregular FTP port.     ≫Quality of Service (QOS)  The QOS Engine option helps improve your network performance by prioritizing applications. By default the QOS Engine are disabled and application priority is not classified automatically. It guarantees the minimum speed by setting either pc or port speed and it also limits the maximum speed. It is efficient use this function when you have many users. It is only possible to manage setting for 10 pc .  Download, Upload:    It is current speed of CDMA service. It is possible to manage the speed of the internet between 12kbs and 65Mbps.   PC:                  When using a service to limit the speed of the internet connection, and you have many PCs connected to one router, then the speed of the internet slow down.    Service Port :                You need to assign a unique port number to insure that you have the min speed required.  Download, Upload speed: The speed at which data can be transferred from the                                   modem. You can limit the speed for both min & max.
 22 Section 3 – Configuration                                                Security  ≫ Firewall Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide array of common hacker attacks including: WAN Ping / SYN Flooding / IP Source Routing / IP Spoofing / Smurf Attack
 23 Section 3 – Configuration   You can turn the firewall functions off if needed. Turning off the firewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is recommended that you turn the firewall on whenever possible.  ≫ IP/MAC Address Filtering The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, email, or other     network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers by IP or MAC address specification. Available up to 30ea configuration list.

 25 Section 3 – Configuration restricted. ¾ All IP:     Apply filtering in all internal client IP address.  ≫ URL Filtering You can block desired website URL. Once you register specified URL, clients can not access this address. Available up to 10 URL registrations.  ≫ Remote Router Access Remote management allows you to make changes to your Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet.          Ex) If registered DDNS Domain name is “vertexwireless.vw200.com” and you have set port number “8888” in this menu, you can access the router with this address, http://vertexwireless.vw200.com:8888.
 26 Section 3 – Configuration Utility  ≫ DHCP Static IP Allocation Use this menu if you want to assign a fixed local IP address to a MAC address.                ¾ MAC Address:    Enter MAC address in the “MAC Address” field that you   want to assign fixed IP address. Or you can use MAC   address scan function. If you press “MAC Scan” button, router will search currently connected client’s MAC address and list up in the table. ¾ IP Address:  Select one MAC address of the list and enter the IP   address you want to it to have in the “IP Address” field   and press “Add” to add static IP allocation information in   the table. Make sure the IP address is between the starting DHCP server’s IP address and maximum number of DHCP users range. A list of DHCP clients and their fixed local IP address will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you want to remove a client from the list, click “Del”.
 27 Section 3 – Configuration  ≫ DDNS  The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host name in any of the many domains DynDNS.org offers, allowing your network computers to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet. DynDNS.org provides this service, for up to five host names, free to the Internet community. The Dynamic DNSSM service is ideal for a home website, file server, or to make it easy to access your home PC and stored files while you’re at work. Using the service can ensure that your host name always points to your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes it. When your IP address changes, your friends and associates can always locate you by visiting yourname.dyndns.org instead.  To register free for your Dynamic DNS host name, please visit http://www.dyndns.org.  z  Setting up the Router’s Dynamic DNS update client   You must register with DynDNS.org’s free update service before using this feature.    Once you have your registration, follow the directions below.             ¾  Select “Enabled” to activate DDNS service. ¾  Press “Click” button to connect DynDNS.org’s web site. ¾ Enter the DynDNS.org domain name you set up with DynDNS.org in the     “Host Name” field ¾  Wildcards option: This setting enables or disables wildcards for your host.
 28 Section 3 – Configuration  ¾  For example, if your DDNS address is vw200.dyndns.org and you enable wildcards, then x.vw200.dyndns.org will work as well (x is the wildcard). ¾  To enable wildcards, select “Use Wildcards” option. ¾ Enter your DynDNS.org user name in the “User Name” field ¾ Enter your DynDNS.org password in the “Password” field ¾ Press “APPLY” to update your IP address Whenever your IP address assigned by your ISP changes, the Router will automatically update DynDNS.org’s servers with your new IP address. You can also do this manually by clicking the “APPLY” button.  ≫ UPnP Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports. An application that is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP feature. Simply select “Enabled” in the “UPnP” section of the “Utility” page. Click “APPLY” to save the change.  ≫ NAT-T If you are using VPN, VoIP or PPTP service you can enable or disable depending on your network environment.  ≫ Wake on LAN Wake on LAN (WOL) is an Ethernet computer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or woken up remotely by a network message. WOL must be enabled in the Power Management section of a PC motherboard's BIOS. It may also be necessary to configure the computer to reserve power for the network card when the system is shutdown.
 29 Section 3 – Configuration  Press “MAC Scan” button to scan MAC address of currently connected client PC through RJ45 and select the scanned MAC address. Now you connect to the router, access WEB UI and press ON button. Then the client PC will be turned on remotely using WOL. This is useful function with DDNS when you need to turn on the client remotely.  ≫ Static Routing A static IP address connection type is less common than other connection types. This is pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. If your ISP uses static IP addressing, you will need your IP address, subnet mask, and ISP gateway address. This information is available from your ISP or on the paperwork that your ISP left with you.                 Destination:      The Destination is LAN IP address of the remote network   or host to which you want to assign a static route. Subnet Mask:    This determines which portion of a Destination LAN IP   address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion. Gateway:      This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows
 30 Section 3 – Configuration  for contact between the Router and the remote network   or host. A list of Static Routing table will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you want to remove a client from the list, click “Del”.
 31 Section 4 – Administration  Administrator  ≫ Login Password  This menu is for setting up WEB UI login password. The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password for greater security, you can set a password here. Write down your password and keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need to log into the Router in the future. It is also recommended that you set a password if you plan to use the remote management feature of your Router.  ≫ System Management                  ≫ Backup and Restore  You can save your current configuration or restore a previously saved configuration by using this feature. Saving your configuration will allow you to restore it later if your settings are lost or changed. It is recommended that you back up your current configuration before performing a firmware update.
