This screen allows you to limit access to your Router based on technology type. From the drop-down menu, select the desired setting. Then, click Apply to allow the settings to take effect. 802.11b/g Mode 030-300536 Rev. A 11b only: Communication with VersaLink is limited to 802.11b 11g only: Communication with VersaLink is limited to 802.11g Legacy Mixed: Communication with VersaLink is limited to 802.11b/g Mixed mode: Computers using 802.11b or 802.11g technology can communicate with VersaLink. 68 August 2007 VersaLink Wireless Gateway (Model 7500) User Guide 13.4.5 Other Advanced Wireless Options If you select the Other Advanced Wireless Options link in the Advanced Security Settings screen, the following screen will appear. From the drop-down menus, select the desired settings. Then, click Apply to allow the settings to take effect. Beacon Interval DTIM Interval Fragmentation Threshold RTS Threshold Supported Rates (Mbps) 802.11b Rates (Mbps) 802.11g Rates (Mbps) 030-300536 Rev. A Wireless Advanced Configuration The time interval between beacon frame transmissions. Beacons contain rate and capability information. Beacons received by stations can be used to identify the access points in the area. The number of Beacon intervals between DTIM transmissions. Multicast and broadcast frames are delivered after every DTIM Any MSDU or MPDU larger than this value will be fragmented into an MPDU of the specified size. RTS/CTS handshaking will be performed for any data or management MPDU containing a number of bytes greater than the threshold. If this value is larger than the MSDU size (typically set by the fragmentation threshold), no handshaking will be performed. A value of zero will enable handshaking for all MPDUs. These are the allowable communication rates that VersaLink will attempt to use. The rates are also broadcast within the connection protocol as the rates supported by VersaLink. 69 August 2007 VersaLink Wireless Gateway (Model 7500) User Guide 14.

This is an ATM encapsulation of the IP protocol. Factory Default = Enabled (box contains a check mark) When this setting is enabled, the Router will allow Broadcast IP packets to/from the WAN. When this setting is disabled (box is cleared), the Router will block Broadcast IP packets to/from the WAN. Bridge Broadcast is only valid if one of the Virtual Channels is configured for Bridge mode. Factory Default = Enabled When this setting is disabled, the Router will block Multicast IP packets to/from the WAN. When this setting is enabled, the Router will allow Multicast IP packets to/from the WAN. Bridge Multicast is only valid if one of the Virtual Channels is configured for Bridge mode. Factory Default = Disabled Spanning Tree Protocol is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For Ethernet network to function properly, only one active path can exist between two stations. When enabled, two bridges are used to interconnect the same two computer network segments. Spanning Tree Protocol will allow the bridges to exchange information so that only one of them will handle a given message that is being sent between two computers within the network. 77 August 2007 VersaLink Wireless Gateway (Model 7500) User Guide If you clicked the expand icon in the preceding screen, the following screen will appear.

Protocol Mode Bridge Bridge Routed Bridge 030-300536 Rev. A Description A bridge is a layer 2 device that connects two segments of the same LAN that use the same protocol such as Ethernet. The modem does not have a WAN IP address in this mode. The client PC will typically get an IP address from a DHCP server in the network or the IP address can be assigned to the client PC statically. Routed Bridged Encapsulation (RBE) is the process by which a bridged segment is terminated on a routed interface. Specifically, the Router is routing on an IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet header carried over RFC 1483 bridged ATM. RBE was developed to address the known RFC1483 bridging issues, including broadcast storms and security. The modem will get a WAN IP address through DHCP or can be assigned statically. NAT will use the global address assigned to the modem. 84 August 2007 VersaLink Wireless Gateway (Model 7500) User Guide Next, select the desired Bridge mode from Bridge Mode drop-down menu. 030-300536 Rev.

This screen allows you to select how the UPLINK/E1 port on the rear of the Router will be used. Select one of the following options: • Private LAN: This mode allows you to use the Router’s DSL port for WAN access (the Router’s DSL functionality is enabled). • Ethernet WAN Uplink. This mode allows you to use the Router as an Ethernet Gateway (for example, connecting to a cable modem or to another ADSL device that provides WAN access). In WAN Uplink mode, the Router’s DSL functionality is disabled. NOTE: The menu options displayed will vary according to the configuration you have chosen to use, LAN Ethernet port or WAN Uplink port. If you are using WAN Uplink port, some menu options will not be available. However, all menu options will be available when the Router is enabled for LAN Ethernet port.
