13.2 Service Configuration
The following settings will be displayed if you select Services from the Configuration menu.
Westell has developed an extensive list of NAT services and you may select any service from this list. By selecting
your specific NAT service and setting up a NAT profile, you will ensure that the appropriate ports on the Router are
open and that the required application traffic can pass through your LAN. For a list of supported services, go to
section 17 (NAT Services).
NAT Profiles allow you to create specific service settings. The NAT profile may then be associated with a
connection profile, allowing you to customize profiles for specific users. For example, if you want to attach specific
NAT services to a profile, or if you want to set up a different connection setting for a profile, you can create new
NAT profiles and customize them to your preference.
NOTE: You may create up to four NAT profiles and attach an unlimited number of services to each profile.

13.4.1 Wireless Basic
The following fields will be displayed if you select Wireless > Basic from the Configuration menu. If you change
any settings in this screen, you must click save to save the settings.
IMPORTANT: If you are connecting to the Router via a wireless network adapter, the service set ID (SSID) must be
the same for both the Westell Router and your PC’s wireless network adapter. The default SSID for the Router is the
serial number of the unit (located below the bar code on the bottom of the unit and also on the Westell shipping carton).
Locate and run the utility software provided with your PC’s Wireless network adapter and enter the SSID value. The
PC’s wireless network adapter must be configured with the SSID (in order to communicate with the Router) before you
begin the Router’s account setup and configuration procedures. For privacy, you should change the Network Name
(SSID) value in the Wireless Configuration screen to your desired value.

This string, (32 characters or less) is the name associated with the AP. To connect to
the AP, the SSID on a Station card must match the SSID on the AP card or be set to
“ANY.”
Factory Default = 6
The AP transmits and receives data on this channel. The number of channels to choose
from is pre-programmed into the AP card. Station cards do not have to be set to the
same channel as the AP; the Stations scan all channels, and look for an AP to connect
to.
Factory Default = Mixed
This setting allows station to communicate with the Router.
Possible Responses:
Mixed: Station using any of the 802.11b, 802.11b+, and 802.11g rates can
communicate with the Router.
Legacy Mixed: Same as Mixed, but also allows older 802.11b cards to communicate
with the Router.
11b only: Communication with the Router is limited to 802.11b
11b+: Stations using any of the 802.11b and 802.11b+ rates can communicate with the
Router
11g only: Communication with the Router is limited to 802.11g
Factory Default = Disabled
When selected, this enables/disables the frameburst option.
If enabled, additional algorithms are used for increased throughput.
Factory Default = Disabled.
If Enabled, the Router will not broadcast the SSID. Stations must configure the SSID
to match the Network Name (SSID) to connect to the Router.

IMPORTANT: Client PCs can use any Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) 802.11b/g/g+ certified card to communicate with
the Router. The Wireless card and Router must use the same security code type. If you use WPA-PSK or WEP
wireless security, you must configure your computer’s wireless adapter for the security code that you use.

Factory Default = Disabled.
Possible Response:
Disabled: If selected, wireless security will be disabled on the Router and any station
can connect to the AP as long as its SSID matches the AP’s SSID.
WPA-PSK: Selecting this will enable you to set up WPA-PSK security on the Router.
WEP: Selecting this will enable you to set up WEP security on the Router. The AP
card supports 64-bit, 128-bit, or 256-bit WEP encryption. If WEP is selected, any
station can connect to the AP (as long as its SSID matches the AP SSID).
If wireless security is disabled, the risk of someone nearby accessing the AP is
maximized.
Factory Default = Open System
Possible Response:
Open System: Open System authentication is the default selection.
Shared Key: To use Shared Key authentication, WEP must be enabled, and a valid
WEP key must be present. Enabling WEP does not force the use of Shared Key
authentication. It is permissible to have WEP enabled and still use Open System
authentication.
If selected, the WEP Key is treated as a string of text characters, and the number of
characters must be either 5 (for 64-bit encryption) or 13 (for 128-bit encryption) or 29
(for 256-bit encryption). If not selected, the WEP key is treated as a string of
hexadecimal characters, and the number of characters must either be 10 (for 64-bit
encryption), 26 (for 128-bit encryption), or 58 (for 256-bit encryption). The only
allowable hexadecimal characters are 0-9 and A-F.
NOTE: The WEP key must be the same value and type for both the Router and the
wireless network adapter. “Pass Phrase” is not the same as “text” and should not be
used.

WPA-PSK: Selecting this will enable you to set up WPA-PSK security on the Router.
WEP: Selecting this will enable you to set up WEP security on the Router. The AP card
supports 64-bit, 128-bit, or 256-bit WEP encryption. If WEP is selected, any station can connect
to the AP (as long as its SSID matches the AP SSID).
If wireless security is disabled, the risk of someone nearby accessing the AP is maximized.
This is a passphrase (also called a shared secret) that must be entered in both the wireless router
and the wireless client. This shared secret can be between 8 to 63 text characters (or 64
hexadecimal characters) and can include special characters and spaces. The WPA Shared Key
should be a random sequence of either keyboard characters (upper and lowercase letters,
numbers, and punctuation), at lease 20 characters long, or hexadecimal digits (numbers 0-9 and
letters A-F) at least 24 hexadecimal digits long. The more random your WPA Shared Key, the
safer it is to use.
Factory Default = 3600
The number of seconds between rekeying the WPA group key. A zero “0” means that rekeying
is disabled.
Factory Default = TKIP
Possible Respone:
TKIP- Selecting this option enables the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol for data encryption.

The following screen will be displayed if you select Advanced LAN > Public LAN from the Configuration menu.
Click in the Public LAN DHCP Server Enable box. A check mark will appear in the box.
NOTE: The Public LAN feature, if available from your service provider, allows the Router to use LAN IP addresses
that are accessible from the WAN. Public LAN allows your computer to have global address ability. To utilize the
Public LAN feature on the Router, your ISP must support Public LAN and Static IP. Contact your ISP for details.

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.
