• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different
types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier
working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you
forget your password, you will have to reset the EMG1302-R10A to its factory default settings. If
you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the
EMG1302-R10A. You could simply restore your last configuration.

1.6 The WPS Button
Figure 2 Front Panel
Your EMG1302-R10A supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure
wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to
configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both
devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its
configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device
to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two
minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set
up a secure network by themselves.
For more information on using WPS, see Section 6.2 on page 43.

Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall
when drilling holes for the screws.
3If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the anchors into the
full depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors. Do not insert the screws all the way
in - leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm.
If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do not insert the
screws all the way in - leave a gap of about 0.5 cm.
4Make sure the screws are fastened well enough to hold the weight of the EMG1302-R10A with the
connection cables.

6.1 Overview
This chapter provides tutorials for setting up your EMG1302-R10A.
•Set Up a Wireless Network with WPS
•Configure Wireless Security without WPS
•Using Multiple SSIDs on the EMG1302-R10A
6.2 Set Up a Wireless Network with WPS
This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses
the EMG1302-R10A as the AP and as the wireless client which connects to a notebook.
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter
or PCI card).
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you how to do
both.
•Push But t on Configurat ion ( PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a
button. See Section 6.2.1 on page 43.This is the easier method.
•PI N Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN
(Personal Identification Number) in the EMG1302-R10A’s interface. See Section 6.2.2 on page
44. This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.
6.2.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1Make sure that your EMG1302-R10A is turned on. Make sure the device is placed within range of
your computer.
2Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the ) driver and utility in
your notebook.
3In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (St a r t or
W PS button).
4Log into EMG1302-R10A’s Web Configurator and press the Push Butt on in the Configu r a t ion >
N e t w ork > W irele ss LAN > W PS St a t ion screen.

Note: Your EMG1302-R10A has a WPS button located on top panel, as well as a WPS
button in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you
can use one or the other.
Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button
within two minutes of pressing the first one.
The EMG1302-R10A sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up
to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the EMG1302-R10A securely.
The following figure shows you an example to set up wireless network and security by pressing a
button on both EMG1302-R10A and wireless client (the in this example).
Figure 22 Example WPS Process: PBC Method
6.2.2 PIN Configuration
When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both EMG1302-R10A’s configuration
interface and the client’s utilities.
1Launch your wireless client’s configuration utility. Go to the WPS settings and select the PIN method
to get a PIN number.
2Enter the PIN number to the PI N field in the Configu r a t ion > Net w ork > W ireless LAN > W PS

6.3.1 Configure Your Notebook
Note: We use the ZyXEL M-302 wireless adapter utility screens as an example for the
wireless client. The screens may vary for different models.
1The EMG1302-R10A supports IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n wireless clients. Make
sure that your notebook or computer’s wireless adapter supports one of these standards.
2Wireless adapters come with software sometimes called a “utility” that you install on your
computer. See your wireless adapter’s User’s Guide for information on how to do that.
3After you’ve installed the utility, open it. If you cannot see your utility’s icon on your screen, go to

If your connection is successful, open your Internet browser and enter http://www.zyxel.com or the
URL of any other web site in the address bar. If you are able to access the web site, your wireless
connection is successfully configured.
6.4 Using Multiple SSIDs on the EMG1302-R10A
You can configure more than one SSID on a EMG1302-R10A when it is operating in access point or
universal repeater mode. This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on
the EMG1302-R10A as if there were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each virtual AP has its own SSID,
wireless security type and MAC filtering settings. That is, each SSID on the EMG1302-R10A
represents a different access point/wireless network to wireless clients in the network.
Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients
using different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the EMG1302-R10A
(such as a printer). You can allow communication between wireless clients of different SSIDs in the
Conf igur at ion > Ne t w or k > W ireless LAN > Ge ner a l screen. See Section 8.4 on page 78 for
more information.

7.3 What You Need To Know
The information in this section can help you configure the screens for your WAN connection, as well
as enable/disable some advanced features of your EMG1302-R10A.
7.3.1 Configuring Your Internet Connection
Encapsulation Method
Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower layer protocol. To set
up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the same encapsulation method used by your
ISP (Internet Service Provider). If your ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP
over Ethernet) or PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), they should also provide a username
and password (and service name) for user authentication.
WAN IP Address
The WAN IP address is an IP address for the EMG1302-R10A, which makes it accessible from an
outside network. It is used by the EMG1302-R10A to communicate with other devices in other
networks. It can be static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the EMG1302-R10A
tries to access the Internet.
If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the subnet mask and
DNS server IP address(es) (and a gateway IP address if you use the Ethernet or ENET ENCAP
encapsulation method).
DNS Server Address Assignment
Use Domain Name System (DNS) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice
versa, for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely
important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access
it.
The EMG1302-R10A can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.
1The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you
sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, manually enter them in the DNS server fields.
2If your ISP dynamically assigns the DNS server IP addresses (along with the EMG1302-R10A’s WAN
IP address), set the DNS server fields to get the DNS server address from the ISP.
Chapter 7 WAN
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide 57
WAN MAC Address
The MAC address screen allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the
factory default or cloning the MAC address from a computer on your LAN. Choose Fa ctory De fault
to select the factory assigned default MAC Address.
Otherwise, click Clone t he com put e r's MAC addr e ss and enter the IP address of the computer on
the LAN whose MAC you are cloning. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to
configuration file. It is recommended that you clone the MAC address prior to hooking up the WAN
Port.
Maximum Transmission Unit
A maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest size packet or frame, specified in octets (eight-
bit bytes) that can be sent in a packet- or frame-based network. The Transmission Control Protocol
(TCP) uses the MTU to determine the maximum size of each packet in any transmission. Too large
an MTU size may mean retransmissions if the packet encounters a router that can't handle that
large a packet. Too small an MTU size means relatively more header overhead and more
acknowledgements that have to be sent and handled.
7.3.2 Multicast
Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient)
or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of
hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1.
Figure 25 Multicast Example
In the multicast example above, systems A and D comprise one multicast group. In multicasting,
the server only needs to send one data stream and this is delivered to systems A and D.
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership
in a multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. The EMG1302-R10A supports both IGMP
version 1 (I GMP- v1 ) and IGMP version 2 (I GMP- v2 ).
At start up, the EMG1302-R10A queries all directly connected networks to gather group
membership. After that, the EMG1302-R10A periodically updates this information. IP multicasting
can be enabled/disabled on the EMG1302-R10A LAN and/or WAN interfaces in the Web Configurator
(LAN ; W AN ). Select N one to disable IP multicasting on these interfaces.

Auto-IP-Change
When the EMG1302-R10A gets a WAN IP address which is in the same subnet as the LAN IP
address 192.168.1.1, Auto-IP-Change allows the EMG1302-R10A to change its LAN IP address to
10.0.0.1 automatically. If the EMG1302-R10A’s original LAN IP address is 10.0.0.1 and the WAN IP
address is in the same subnet, such as 10.0.0.3, the EMG1302-R10A switches to use 192.168.1.1
as its LAN IP address.
Figure 26 Auto-IP-Change
Auto-IP-Change only works under the following conditions:
• The EMG1302-R10A must be in Router Mode (see Chapter 21 on page 158 for more
information) for Auto-IP-Change to become active.
• The EMG1302-R10A is set to receive a dynamic WAN IP address using the Ethernet or PPPoE
connection type.

7.4.1.1 PPPoE Encapsulation
The EMG1302-R10A supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF
standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem
(DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. The PPP over Et h e r net option is for a dial-up connection
using PPPoE.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing
access control systems (for example Radius).
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services, a
function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and
offer new IP services for individuals.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no
specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the EMG1302-R10A (rather than individual computers), the
computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the EMG1302-R10A does that
part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs’ computers will have access.

8.1 Overview
This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your EMG1302-R10A. See
the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks.
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.
Figure 35 Example of a Wireless Network
The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are
called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices
(such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your EMG1302-R10A is the AP.
8.2 What You Can Do
•Use the Ge n e r a l screen to enter the SSID, select the channel, and configure wireless security
(Section 8.4 on page 78).
•Use the More AP screen to enable and configure multiple wireless networks (Section 8.6 on page
83)
•Use the MAC Filte r screen to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from

•Use the QoS screen to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) in your wireless network (Section 8.9 on
page 87).
•Use the W PS screen to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to
configure security settings manually (Section 8.10 on page 88).
•Use the W PS St a t ion screen to add a wireless station using WPS (Section 8.11 on page 89).
•Use the Schedu ling screen to set the times your wireless LAN is turned on and off (Section 8.12
on page 90).
•Use the W DS screen to set up Wireless Distribution System (WDS) (Section 8.13 on page 91).
8.3 What You Should Know
Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.
• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.
The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.
• If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels.
Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or
frequency, to send and receive information.
• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.
Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the
information that is sent in the wireless network.
Wireless Security Overview
The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless
network.
SSID
Normally, the AP acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the
SSID instead, in which case the AP does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you should change
the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess.
This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized devices to
get the SSID. In addition, unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the
wireless network.
MAC Address Filter
Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC address is
usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for example, 00A0C5000002 or
1.Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless
networks. These kinds of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses.
2.Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Chapter 8 Wireless LAN
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide 77
00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate User’s
Guide or other documentation.
You can use the MAC address filter to tell the AP which wireless clients are allowed or not allowed to
use the wireless network. If a wireless client is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to
have the correct settings (SSID, channel, and security). If a wireless client is not allowed to use the
wireless network, it does not matter if it has the correct settings.
This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network.
Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the MAC address of an authorized
wireless client. Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network.
User Authentication
You can make every user log in to the wireless network before they can use it. This is called user
authentication.
For wireless networks, there are two typical places to store the user names and passwords for each
user.
• In the AP: this feature is called a local user database or a local database.
• In a RADIUS server: this is a server used in businesses more than in homes.
If your AP does not provide a local user database and if you do not have a RADIUS server, you
cannot set up user names and passwords for your users.
Unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network, even if they
cannot use the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized wireless users to
get a valid user name and password. Then, they can use that user name and password to use the
wireless network.
Local user databases also have an additional limitation that is explained in the next section.
Encryption
Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless
network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot
understand the message.
The types of encryption you can choose depend on the type of user authentication. (See page 77
for information about this.)
For example, if the wireless network has a RADIUS server, you can choose W PA or W PA2 . If users
do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no encryption, St at ic W EP, W PA- PSK, or
W PA2 - PSK.
Table 19 Types of Encryption for Each Type of Authentication
NO AUTHENTICATION RADIUS SERVER
W eakest No Security WPA
Static WEP
WPA-PSK
St r on ge st WPA2-PSK WPA2
Chapter 8 Wireless LAN
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide
78
Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless
network supports. For example, suppose the AP does not have a local user database, and you do
not have a RADIUS server. Therefore, there is no user authentication. Suppose the wireless network
has two wireless clients. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA.
Therefore, you should set up St a t ic W EP in the wireless network.
Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use W PA- PSK, W PA, or stronger
encryption. IEEE and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it is still
possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty
quickly.
Note: It is not possible to use W PA- PSK, W PA or stronger encryption with a local user
database. In this case, it is better to set up stronger encryption with no
authentication than to set up weaker encryption with the local user database.
When you select W PA2 - PSK in your EMG1302-R10A, you can also select an option (W PA
Com p at ible ) to support WPA as well. In this case, if some wireless clients support WPA and some
support WPA2, you should set up W PA2 - PSK (depending on the type of wireless network login)
and select the W PA Com pat ible option in the EMG1302-R10A.
Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer
the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the
same key.
WPS
WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance. WPS
allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure
security settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a
button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification
Number) in the devices. Then, they connect and set up a secure network by themselves. See how
to set up a secure wireless network using WPS in the Section 6.2 on page 43.
8.4 General Wireless LAN Screen
Use this screen to configure the SSID of the wireless LAN and configure the wireless security mode.
The screen varies depending on what you select in the Se curit y M ode field.
Note: If you are configuring the EMG1302-R10A from a computer connected to the
wireless LAN and you change the EMG1302-R10A’s SSID, channel or security
settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm.
You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the

Channel Width Select whether the EMG1302-R10A uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz or Au t o. If
Auto is selected, the EMG1302-R10A will use 40MHz if it is supported.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz
channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps.
40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to
increase throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to
use the 20 MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.
Select 2 0 M H z if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in
your neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.

9.3 What You Need To Know
The actual physical connection determines whether the EMG1302-R10A ports are LAN or WAN
ports. There are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the
WAN network as shown next.
Figure 49 LAN and WAN IP Addresses
The LAN parameters of the EMG1302-R10A are preset in the factory with the following values:
• IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
• DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS
server address(es), read the embedded Web Configurator help regarding what fields need to be
configured.
9.3.1 IP Pool Setup
The EMG1302-R10A is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to
192.168.1.64. This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the EMG1302-R10A itself) in
the lower range (192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.32) for other server computers, for instance, servers for
mail, T, web, etc., that you may have.
9.3.2 LAN TCP/IP

DHCP Server
10.1 Overview
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), RFC 2131 and RFC 2132 allow individual clients to
obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the EMG1302-R10A’s LAN
as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the EMG1302-R10A provides the TCP/
IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on
your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.
10.2 What You Can Do
•Use the Ge n e r a l screen to enable the DHCP server (Section 10.4 on page 98).
•Use the Adva nced screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers
based on their MAC Addresses (Section 10.5 on page 99).
•Use the Clie n t List screen to view DHCP client list (Section 10.6 on page 100).
10.3 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.

CHAPTER 11
Quality of Service (QoS)
11.1 Overview
Use the QoS screen to set up your EMG1302-R10A to use QoS for traffic management.
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network’s ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and
the networking methods used to control bandwidth. QoS allows the EMG1302-R10A to group and
prioritize application traffic and fine-tune network performance.
Without QoS, all traffic data are equally likely to be dropped when the network is congested. This
can cause a reduction in network performance and make the network inadequate for time-critical
applications such as video-on-demand.
The EMG1302-R10A assigns each packet a priority and then queues the packet accordingly. Packets
assigned with a high priority are processed more quickly than those with low priorities if there is
congestion, allowing time-sensitive applications to flow more smoothly. Time-sensitive applications
include both those that require a low level of latency (delay) and a low level of jitter (variations in
delay) such as Voice over IP (VoIP) or Internet gaming, and those for which jitter alone is a problem
such as Internet radio or streaming video.
In the following figure, your Internet connection has an upstream transmission speed of 50 Mbps.
You configure a classifier to assign the highest priority queue (6) to VoIP traffic from the LAN
interface, so that voice traffic would not get delayed when there is network congestion. Traffic from
the boss’s IP address (192.168.1.23 for example) is mapped to queue 5. Traffic that does not
match these two classes are assigned priority queue based on the internal QoS mapping table on
the EMG1302-R10A.

11.1.1 What You Can Do in the QoS Screens
•Use the Ge n e r al screen (Section 11.2 on page 104) to enable QoS on the EMG1302-R10A, and
specify the type of scheduling.
•Use the Rule - based QoS screen (Section 11.3 on page 105) to define and setup QoS-specific
rules.
11.1.2 What You Need to Know About QoS
802.1p
QoS is used to prioritize source-to-destination traffic flows. All packets in the same flow are given
the same priority. 802.1p is a way of managing traffic in a network by grouping similar types of
traffic together and treating each type as a class. You can use 802.1p to give different priorities to
different packet types.
Tagging and Marking
In a QoS class, you can configure whether to add or change the DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) value
and IEEE 802.1p priority level in a matched packet. When the packet passes through a compatible
network, the networking device, such as a backbone switch, can provide specific treatment or
service based on the tag or marker.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
QoS Select Ena ble or Disa ble to activate/disable the service.
Bandwidth of Upstream Enter the amount of upstream bandwidth for the WAN interfaces that you want
to allocate using QoS.
The recommendation is to set this speed to match the interfaces’ actual
transmission speed. For example, set the WAN interfaces’ speed to 100000 kbps
if your Internet connection has an upstream transmission speed of 100 Mbps.
You can set this number higher than the interfaces’ actual transmission speed.
The ZyXEL Device uses up to 95% of the DSL port’s actual upstream
transmission speed even if you set this number higher than the DSL port’s actual
transmission speed.
You can also set this number lower than the interfaces’ actual transmission
speed. This will cause the ZyXEL Device to not use some of the interfaces’
available bandwidth.
If you leave this field blank, the ZyXEL Device automatically sets this number to
be 95% of the WAN interfaces’ actual upstream transmission speed.
Bandwidth of Downstream Enter the amount of downstream bandwidth for the LAN interfaces (including
HPNA and WLAN) that you want to allocate using QoS.
The recommendation is to set this speed to match the WAN interfaces’ actual
transmission speed. For example, set the LAN managed downstream bandwidth
to 100000 kbps if you use a 100 Mbps wired Ethernet WAN connection.
You can also set this number lower than the WAN interfaces’ actual transmission
speed.
This will cause the ZyXEL Device to not use some of the interfaces’ available
bandwidth.
If you leave this field blank, the ZyXEL Device automatically sets this to the LAN
interfaces’ maximum supported connection speed.

11.4 QoS Technical Reference
This section provides some technical background information about the topics covered in this
chapter.
11.4.1 IEEE 802.1p
IEEE 802.1p specifies the user priority field and defines up to eight separate traffic types. The
following table describes the traffic types defined in the IEEE 802.1d standard (which incorporates
the 802.1p).
11.4.2 IP Precedence
Similar to IEEE 802.1p prioritization at layer-2, you can use IP precedence to prioritize packets in a
layer-3 network. IP precedence uses three bits of the eight-bit ToS (Type of Service) field in the IP
header. There are eight classes of services (ranging from zero to seven) in IP precedence. Zero is
the lowest priority level and seven is the highest.
11.4.3 Automatic Priority Queue Assignment
If you enable QoS on the EMG1302-R10A, the EMG1302-R10A can automatically base on the IEEE
802.1p priority level, IP precedence and/or packet length to assign priority to traffic which does not
match a class.

CHAPTER 12
NAT
12.1 Overview
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in
a packet. For example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network is
changed to a different IP address known within another network.
The figure below is a simple illustration of a NAT network. You want to assign ports 21-25 to one,
Telnet and SMTP server (A in the example), port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign a
default server IP address of 192.168.1.35 to a third (C in the example).
You assign the LAN IP addresses to the devices (A to D) connected to your EMG1302-R10A. The ISP
assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet. All traffic
coming from A to D going out to the Internet use the IP address of the EMG1302-R10A, which is
192.168.1.1.
Figure 58 NAT Example
This chapter discusses how to configure NAT on the EMG1302-R10A.
Note: You must create a firewall rule in addition to setting up NAT, to allow traffic from
the WAN to be forwarded through the EMG1302-R10A.

12.3 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
Inside/Outside
This denotes where a host is located relative to the EMG1302-R10A, for example, the computers of
your subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web servers on the Internet are the outside hosts.
Global/Local
This denotes the IP address of a host in a packet as the packet traverses a router, for example, the
local address refers to the IP address of a host when the packet is in the local network, while the
global address refers to the IP address of the host when the same packet is traveling in the WAN
side.
Note: Inside/outside refers to the location of a host, while global/local refers to the IP
address of a host used in a packet.
An inside local address (ILA) is the IP address of an inside host in a packet when the packet is still
in the local network, while an inside global address (IGA) is the IP address of the same inside host
when the packet is on the WAN side. The following table summarizes this information.
Note: NAT never changes the IP address (either local or global) of an outside host.
What NAT Does
In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a subscriber
(the inside local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding the packet to the
WAN side. When the response comes back, NAT translates the destination address (the inside

global address) back to the inside local address before forwarding it to the original inside host. Note
that the IP address (either local or global) of an outside host is never changed.
The global IP addresses for the inside hosts can be either static or dynamically assigned by the ISP.
In addition, you can designate servers, for example, a web server and a telnet server, on your local
network and make them accessible to the outside world. If you do not define any servers, NAT
offers the additional benefit of firewall protection. With no servers defined, your EMG1302-R10A
filters out all incoming inquiries, thus preventing intruders from probing your network. For more
information on IP address translation, refer to RFC 1631, The I P Net work Address Translat or ( NAT) .
How NAT Works
Each packet has two addresses – a source address and a destination address. For outgoing packets,
the ILA (Inside Local Address) is the source address on the LAN, and the IGA (Inside Global
Address) is the source address on the WAN. For incoming packets, the ILA is the destination
address on the LAN, and the IGA is the destination address on the WAN. NAT maps private (local)
IP addresses to globally unique ones required for communication with hosts on other networks. It
replaces the original IP source address in each packet and then forwards it to the Internet. The
EMG1302-R10A keeps track of the original addresses and port numbers so incoming reply packets
can have their original values restored. The following figure illustrates this.

12.6 The NAT Trigger Port Screen
Some services use a dedicated range of ports on the client side and a dedicated range of ports on
the server side. With regular port forwarding you set a forwarding port in NAT to forward a service
(coming in from the server on the WAN) to the IP address of a computer on the client side (LAN).
The problem is that port forwarding only forwards a service to a single LAN IP address. In order to
use the same service on a different LAN computer, you have to manually replace the LAN
computer’s IP address in the forwarding port with another LAN computer’s IP address.
Trigger port forwarding solves this problem by allowing computers on the LAN to dynamically take
turns using the service. The EMG1302-R10A records the IP address of a LAN computer that sends
traffic to the WAN to request a service with a specific port number and protocol (a “trigger” port).
When the EMG1302-R10A WAN port receives a response with a specific port number and protocol
(“open” port), the EMG1302-R10A forwards the traffic to the LAN IP address of the computer that
sent the request. After that computer’s connection for that service closes, another computer on the
LAN can use the service in the same manner. This way you do not need to configure a new IP
address each time you want a different LAN computer to use the application.

Routing
14.1 Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes for your EMG1302-R10A.
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the
EMG1302-R10A has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the EMG1302-R10A
knows about network N2 in the following figure through remote node Router 1. However, the
EMG1302-R10A is unable to route a packet to network N3 because it doesn't know that there is a
route through the same remote node Router 1 (via gateway Router 2). The static routes are for you
to tell the EMG1302-R10A about the networks beyond the remote nodes.

Security
16.1 Overview
Use these screens to enable and configure the firewall that protects your EMG1302-R10A and your
LAN from unwanted or malicious traffic.
Enable the firewall to protect your LAN computers from attacks by hackers on the Internet and
control access between the LAN and WAN. By default the firewall:
• allows traffic that originates from your LAN computers to go to all of the networks.
• blocks traffic that originates on the other networks from going to the LAN.
The following figure illustrates the default firewall action. User A can initiate an IM (Instant
Messaging) session from the LAN to the WAN (1). Return traffic for this session is also allowed (2).
However other traffic initiated from the WAN is blocked (3 and 4).

16.3 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
What is a Firewall?
Originally, the term “firewall” referred to a construction technique designed to prevent the spread of
fire from one room to another. The networking term "firewall" is a system or group of systems that
enforces an access-control policy between two networks. It may also be defined as a mechanism
used to protect a trusted network from a network that is not trusted. Of course, firewalls cannot
solve every security problem. A firewall is one of the mechanisms used to establish a network
security perimeter in support of a network security policy. It should never be the only mechanism or
method employed. For a firewall to guard effectively, you must design and deploy it appropriately.
This requires integrating the firewall into a broad information-security policy. In addition, specific
policies must be implemented within the firewall itself.
Stateful Inspection Firewall
Stateful inspection firewalls restrict access by screening data packets against defined access rules.
They make access control decisions based on IP address and protocol. They also "inspect" the
session data to assure the integrity of the connection and to adapt to dynamic protocols. These
firewalls generally provide the best speed and transparency; however, they may lack the granular
application level access control or caching that some proxies support. Firewalls, of one type or
another, have become an integral part of standard security solutions for enterprises.
About the EMG1302-R10A Firewall
The EMG1302-R10A’s firewall feature physically separates the LAN and the WAN and acts as a
secure gateway for all data passing between the networks.
It is a stateful inspection firewall and is designed to protect against Denial of Service attacks when
activated (click the General tab under Fir e w all and then click the Enable Firew all check box).
The EMG1302-R10A's purpose is to allow a private Local Area Network (LAN) to be securely
connected to the Internet. The EMG1302-R10A can be used to prevent theft, destruction and
modification of data, as well as log events, which may be important to the security of your network.
The EMG1302-R10A is installed between the LAN and a broadband modem connecting to the
Internet. This allows it to act as a secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and the
LAN.
The EMG1302-R10A has one Ethernet WAN port and four Ethernet LAN ports, which are used to
physically separate the network into two areas.The WAN (Wide Area Network) port attaches to the
broadband (cable or DSL) modem to the Internet.
The LAN (Local Area Network) port attaches to a network of computers, which needs security from
the outside world. These computers will have access to Internet services such as e-mail, and the
World Wide Web. However, "inbound access" is not allowed (by default) unless the remote host is
authorized to use a specific service.
Chapter 16 Security
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide 127
Guidelines For Enhancing Security With Your Firewall
1Change the default password via Web Configurator.
2Think about access control before you connect to the network in any way, including attaching a
modem to the port.
3Limit who can access your router.
4Don't enable any local service (such as NTP) that you don't use. Any enabled service could present
a potential security risk. A determined hacker might be able to find creative ways to misuse the
enabled services to access the firewall or the network.
5For local services that are enabled, protect against misuse. Protect by configuring the services to
communicate only with specific peers, and protect by configuring rules to block packets for the
services at specific interfaces.
6Protect against IP spoofing by making sure the firewall is active.
7Keep the firewall in a secured (locked) room.

response packet is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to know the EMG1302-R10A
exists. Use this screen to prevent the ICMP response packet from being sent. This keeps outsiders
from discovering your EMG1302-R10A when unsupported ports are probed.

Content Filtering
17.1 Overview
This chapter provides a brief overview of content filtering using the embedded web GUI.
Internet content filtering allows you to create and enforce Internet access policies tailored to your
needs. Content filtering is the ability to block certain web features or specific URL keywords.
17.2 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
Content Filtering Profiles
Content filtering allows you to block certain web features, such as cookies, and/or block access to
specific web sites. For example, you can configure one policy that blocks John Doe’s access to arts
and entertainment web pages.
A content filtering profile conveniently stores your custom settings for the following features.
Keyword Blocking URL Checking
The EMG1302-R10A checks the URL’s domain name (or IP address) and file path separately when
performing keyword blocking.
The URL’s domain name or IP address is the characters that come before the first slash in the URL.
For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, the domain name is
www.zyxel.com.tw.
The file path is the characters that come after the first slash in the URL. For example, with the URL
www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, the file path is news/pressroom.php.
Since the EMG1302-R10A checks the URL’s domain name (or IP address) and file path separately, it
will not find items that go across the two. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/
pressroom.php, the EMG1302-R10A would find “tw” in the domain name (www.zyxel.com.tw). It
would also find “news” in the file path (news/pressroom.php) but it would not find “tw/news”.

Remote Management
19.1 Overview
This chapter provides information on the Remote Management screens.
Remote Management allows you to manage your EMG1302-R10A from a remote location through
the following interfaces:
•LAN and WAN
•LAN only
Note: The EMG1302-R10A is managed using the Web Configurator.
19.2 What You Need to Know
Remote management over LAN or WAN will not work when:
1The IP address in the Secured Clie n t I P Addre ss field (Section 19.4 on page 138) does not match
the client IP address. If it does not match, the EMG1302-R10A will disconnect the session
immediately.
2There is already another remote management session. You may only have one remote
management session running at one time.
3There is a firewall rule that blocks it.
19.2.1 Remote Management and NAT
When NAT is enabled:
• Use the EMG1302-R10A’s WAN IP address when configuring from the WAN.
• Use the EMG1302-R10A’s LAN IP address when configuring from the LAN.
19.3 What You Can Do
•Use the WWW screen to configure through which interface(s) and from which IP address(es)

19.6 The SNMP Screen
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information
between network devices. Your EMG1302-R10A supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a
manager station to manage and monitor the EMG1302-R10A through the network. The EMG1302-
R10A supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates
an SNMP management operation.
Figure 78 SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the EMG1302-
R10A). An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form
compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform
network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor managed
devices.
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of
information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of
packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of
managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing
these objects.
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The
manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:
• Get - Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
• GetNext - Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an
agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it
initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.
• Set - Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
• Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.

19.7 The TR069 Screen
TR-069 defines how Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), for example your ZyXEL Device, can be
managed over the WAN by an Auto Configuration Server (ACS). TR-069 is based on sending
Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) between an ACS and a client device. RPCs are sent in Extensible
Markup Language (XML) format over HTTP or HTTPS.
An administrator can use an ACS to remotely set up the EMG1302-R10A, modify settings, perform
firmware upgrades as well as monitor and diagnose the EMG1302-R10A. You have to enable the
device to be managed by the ACS and specify the ACS IP address or domain name and username
and password.

CHAPTER 20
Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)
20.1 Overview
This chapter introduces the UPnP feature in the web configurator.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for
simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can dynamically join a
network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network.
In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.
20.2 What You Need to Know
UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (Windows XP). Each UPnP
compatible device installed on your network will appear as a separate icon. Selecting the icon of a
UPnP device will allow you to access the information and properties of that device.
20.2.1 NAT Traversal
UPnP NAT traversal automates the process of allowing an application to operate through NAT. UPnP
network devices can automatically configure network addressing, announce their presence in the
network to other UPnP devices and enable exchange of simple product and service descriptions.
NAT traversal allows the following:
• Dynamic port mapping
• Learning public IP addresses
• Assigning lease times to mappings
Windows Messenger is an example of an application that supports NAT traversal and UPnP.
See the NAT chapter for more information on NAT.
20.2.2 Cautions with UPnP
The automated nature of NAT traversal applications in establishing their own services and opening
firewall ports may present network security issues. Network information and configuration may also
be obtained and modified by users in some network environments.
When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For
security reasons, the EMG1302-R10A allows multicast messages on the LAN only.
Chapter 20 Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide

If the EMG1302-R10A is sending or receiving a lot of information, try closing some programs that
use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications.
2Check the signal strength. If the signal strength is low, try moving the EMG1302-R10A closer to the
AP if possible, and look around to see if there are any devices that might be interfering with the
wireless network (for example, microwaves, other wireless networks, and so on).
3Reboot the EMG1302-R10A.
4If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the advanced
suggestions.
22.5 Resetting the EMG1302-R10A to Its Factory Defaults
If you reset the EMG1302-R10A, you lose all of the changes you have made. The EMG1302-R10A
re-loads its default settings, and the password resets to 1 2 3 4 . You have to make all of your
changes again.
Chapter 22 Troubleshooting

I can access the Internet, but I cannot open my network folders.
Make sure your account has access rights to the folder you are trying to open.
I cannot access the Web Configurator after I switched to AP mode.
When you change from router mode to AP mode, your computer must have an IP address in the
range between “192.168.1.3” and “192.168.1.254”.
Refer to Appendix C on page 193 for instructions on how to change your computer’s IP address.
What factors may cause intermittent or unstabled wireless connection? How can I solve this
problem?
The following factors may cause interference:
• Obstacles: walls, ceilings, furniture, and so on.
• Building Materials: metal doors, aluminum studs.
• Electrical devices: microwaves, monitors, electric motors, cordless phones, and other wireless
devices.
To optimize the speed and quality of your wireless connection, you can:
• Move your wireless device closer to the AP if the signal strength is low.
• Reduce wireless interference that may be caused by other wireless networks or surrounding
wireless electronics such as cordless phones.
• Place the AP where there are minimum obstacles (such as walls and ceilings) between the AP and
the wireless client.
• Reduce the number of wireless clients connecting to the same AP simultaneously, or add
additional APs if necessary.
• Try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications. If the
wireless client is sending or receiving a lot of information, it may have too many programs open
that use the Internet.
• Position the antenna for best reception. If the AP is placed on a table or floor, point the antenna
upwards. If the AP is placed at a high position, point the antenna downwards. Try pointing the
antenna in different directions and check which provides the strongest signal to the wireless
clients.

APPENDIX C
Wireless LANs
Wireless LAN Topologies
This section discusses ad-hoc and infrastructure wireless LAN topologies.
Ad-hoc Wireless LAN Configuration
The simplest WLAN configuration is an independent (Ad-hoc) WLAN that connects a set of
computers with wireless adapters (A, B, C). Any time two or more wireless adapters are within
range of each other, they can set up an independent network, which is commonly referred to as an
ad-hoc network or Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). The following diagram shows an example
of notebook computers using wireless adapters to form an ad-hoc wireless LAN.
Figure 112 Peer-to-Peer Communication in an Ad-hoc Network
BSS
A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless clients or between a
wireless client and a wired network client go through one access point (AP).
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless clients in the BSS. When Intra-BSS is enabled, wireless
client A and B can access the wired network and communicate with each other. When Intra-BSS is
Appendix C Wireless LANs
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide
186
disabled, wireless client A and B can still access the wired network but cannot communicate with
each other.
Figure 113 Basic Service Set
ESS
An Extended Service Set (ESS) consists of a series of overlapping BSSs, each containing an access
point, with each access point connected together by a wired network. This wired connection
between APs is called a Distribution System (DS).
This type of wireless LAN topology is called an Infrastructure WLAN. The Access Points not only
provide communication with the wired network but also mediate wireless network traffic in the
immediate neighborhood.
Appendix C Wireless LANs
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide 187
An ESSID (ESS IDentification) uniquely identifies each ESS. All access points and their associated
wireless clients within the same ESS must have the same ESSID in order to communicate.
Figure 114 Infrastructure WLAN
Channel
A channel is the radio frequency(ies) used by wireless devices to transmit and receive data.
Channels available depend on your geographical area. You may have a choice of channels (for your
region) so you should use a channel different from an adjacent AP (access point) to reduce
interference. Interference occurs when radio signals from different access points overlap causing
interference and degrading performance.
Adjacent channels partially overlap however. To avoid interference due to overlap, your AP should
be on a channel at least five channels away from a channel that an adjacent AP is using. For
example, if your region has 11 channels and an adjacent AP is using channel 1, then you need to
select a channel between 6 or 11.
RTS/CTS
A hidden node occurs when two stations are within range of the same access point, but are not
within range of each other. The following figure illustrates a hidden node. Both stations (STA) are
within range of the access point (AP) or wireless gateway, but out-of-range of each other, so they
Appendix C Wireless LANs
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide
188
cannot "hear" each other, that is they do not know if the channel is currently being used. Therefore,
they are considered hidden from each other.
Figure 115 RTS/CTS
When station A sends data to the AP, it might not know that the station B is already using the
channel. If these two stations send data at the same time, collisions may occur when both sets of
data arrive at the AP at the same time, resulting in a loss of messages for both stations.
RTS/ CTS is designed to prevent collisions due to hidden nodes. An RTS/ CTS defines the biggest
size data frame you can send before an RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake is
invoked.
When a data frame exceeds the RTS/ CTS value you set (between 0 to 2432 bytes), the station
that wants to transmit this frame must first send an RTS (Request To Send) message to the AP for
permission to send it. The AP then responds with a CTS (Clear to Send) message to all other
stations within its range to notify them to defer their transmission. It also reserves and confirms
with the requesting station the time frame for the requested transmission.
Stations can send frames smaller than the specified RTS/ CTS directly to the AP without the RTS
(Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake.
You should only configure RTS/ CTS if the possibility of hidden nodes exists on your network and
the "cost" of resending large frames is more than the extra network overhead involved in the RTS
(Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake.
If the RTS/ CTS value is greater than the Fragm e n t a t ion Threshold value (see next), then the
RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be
fragmented before they reach RTS/ CTS size.
Note: Enabling the RTS Threshold causes redundant network overhead that could
negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy.
Fragmentation Threshold
A Fragm ent at ion Th r e shold is the maximum data fragment size (between 256 and 2432 bytes)
that can be sent in the wireless network before the AP will fragment the packet into smaller data
frames.
A large Fragm e nt a t ion Threshold is recommended for networks not prone to interference while
you should set a smaller threshold for busy networks or networks that are prone to interference.
Appendix C Wireless LANs
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide 189
If the Fragm ent at ion Thr eshold value is smaller than the RTS/ CTS value (see previously) you
set then the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames
will be fragmented before they reach RTS/ CTS size.
Preamble Type
Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver. Short and long refer to the length of
the synchronization field in a packet.
Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means more time for sending
data. All IEEE 802.11 compliant wireless adapters support long preamble, but not all support short
preamble.
Use long preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode other wireless devices on the network
support, and to provide more reliable communications in busy wireless networks.
Use short preamble if you are sure all wireless devices on the network support it, and to provide
more efficient communications.
Use the dynamic setting to automatically use short preamble when all wireless devices on the
network support it, otherwise the EMG1302-R10A uses long preamble.
Note: The wireless devices MUST use the same preamble mode in order to communicate.
IEEE 802.11g Wireless LAN
IEEE 802.11g is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard. This means an IEEE 802.11b
adapter can interface directly with an IEEE 802.11g access point (and vice versa) at 11 Mbps or
lower depending on range. IEEE 802.11g has several intermediate rate steps between the
maximum and minimum data rates. The IEEE 802.11g data rate and modulation are as follows:
Wireless Security Overview
Wireless security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between wireless
clients, access points and the wired network.
Wireless security methods available on the EMG1302-R10A are data encryption, wireless client
authentication, restricting access by device MAC address and hiding the EMG1302-R10A identity.

The following figure shows the relative effectiveness of these wireless security methods available on
your EMG1302-R10A.
Note: You must enable the same wireless security settings on the EMG1302-R10A and on
all wireless clients that you want to associate with it.
IEEE
In June 2001, the IEEE standard was designed to extend the features of IEEE 802.11 to support
extended authentication as well as providing additional accounting and control features. It is
supported by Windows XP and a number of network devices. Some advantages of IEEE are:
• User based identification that allows for roaming.
• Support for RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC 2138, 2139) for
centralized user profile and accounting management on a network RADIUS server.
• Support for EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol, RFC 2486) that allows additional
authentication methods to be deployed with no changes to the access point or the wireless
clients.

RADIUS is based on a client-server model that supports authentication, authorization and
accounting. The access point is the client and the server is the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server
handles the following tasks:
• Authentication
Determines the identity of the users.
•Authorization
Determines the network services available to authenticated users once they are connected to the
network.
• Accounting
Keeps track of the client’s network activity.
RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which your AP acts as a message relay between the
wireless client and the network RADIUS server.

Types of RADIUS Messages
The following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the access point and the RADIUS
server for user authentication:
• Access-Request
Sent by an access point requesting authentication.
• Access-Reject
Sent by a RADIUS server rejecting access.
• Access-Accept
Sent by a RADIUS server allowing access.
• Access-Challenge
Sent by a RADIUS server requesting more information in order to allow access. The access point
sends a proper response from the user and then sends another Access-Request message.
The following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the access point and the RADIUS
server for user accounting:
• Accounting-Request
Sent by the access point requesting accounting.
• Accounting-Response
Sent by the RADIUS server to indicate that it has started or stopped accounting.
In order to ensure network security, the access point and the RADIUS server use a shared secret
key, which is a password, they both know. The key is not sent over the network. In addition to the
shared key, password information exchanged is also encrypted to protect the network from
unauthorized access.
Types of EAP Authentication
This section discusses some popular authentication types: EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP and
LEAP. Your wireless LAN device may not support all authentication types.
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an authentication protocol that runs on top of the IEEE
transport mechanism in order to support multiple types of user authentication. By using EAP to
interact with an EAP-compatible RADIUS server, an access point helps a wireless station and a
RADIUS server perform authentication.
The type of authentication you use depends on the RADIUS server and an intermediary AP(s) that
supports IEEE.
For EAP-TLS authentication type, you must first have a wired connection to the network and obtain
the certificate(s) from a certificate authority (CA). A certificate (also called digital IDs) can be used
to authenticate users and a CA issues certificates and guarantees the identity of each certificate
owner.
EAP-MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5)
MD5 authentication is the simplest one-way authentication method. The authentication server
sends a challenge to the wireless client. The wireless client ‘proves’ that it knows the password by
Appendix C Wireless LANs
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide
192
encrypting the password with the challenge and sends back the information. Password is not sent in
plain text.
However, MD5 authentication has some weaknesses. Since the authentication server needs to get
the plaintext passwords, the passwords must be stored. Thus someone other than the
authentication server may access the password file. In addition, it is possible to impersonate an
authentication server as MD5 authentication method does not perform mutual authentication.
Finally, MD5 authentication method does not support data encryption with dynamic session key. You
must configure WEP encryption keys for data encryption.
EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security)
With EAP-TLS, digital certifications are needed by both the server and the wireless clients for
mutual authentication. The server presents a certificate to the client. After validating the identity of
the server, the client sends a different certificate to the server. The exchange of certificates is done
in the open before a secured tunnel is created. This makes user identity vulnerable to passive
attacks. A digital certificate is an electronic ID card that authenticates the sender’s identity.
However, to implement EAP-TLS, you need a Certificate Authority (CA) to handle certificates, which
imposes a management overhead.
EAP-TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Service)
EAP-TTLS is an extension of the EAP-TLS authentication that uses certificates for only the server-
side authentications to establish a secure connection. Client authentication is then done by sending
username and password through the secure connection, thus client identity is protected. For client
authentication, EAP-TTLS supports EAP methods and legacy authentication methods such as PAP,
CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP v2.
PEAP (Protected EAP)
Like EAP-TTLS, server-side certificate authentication is used to establish a secure connection, then
use simple username and password methods through the secured connection to authenticate the
clients, thus hiding client identity. However, PEAP only supports EAP methods, such as EAP-MD5,
EAP-MSCHAPv2 and EAP-GTC (EAP-Generic Token Card), for client authentication. EAP-GTC is
implemented only by Cisco.
LEAP
LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a Cisco implementation of IEEE.
Dynamic WEP Key Exchange
The AP maps a unique key that is generated with the RADIUS server. This key expires when the
wireless connection times out, disconnects or reauthentication times out. A new WEP key is
generated each time reauthentication is performed.
If this feature is enabled, it is not necessary to configure a default encryption key in the wireless
security configuration screen. You may still configure and store keys, but they will not be used while
dynamic WEP is enabled.
Note: EAP-MD5 cannot be used with Dynamic WEP Key Exchange
Appendix C Wireless LANs
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide 193
For added security, certificate-based authentications (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP) use dynamic
keys for data encryption. They are often deployed in corporate environments, but for public
deployment, a simple user name and password pair is more practical. The following table is a
comparison of the features of authentication types.
WPA and WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a
wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and key management
than WPA.
Key differences between WPA or WPA2 and WEP are improved data encryption and user
authentication.
If both an AP and the wireless clients support WPA2 and you have an external RADIUS server, use
WPA2 for stronger data encryption. If you don't have an external RADIUS server, you should use
WPA2-PSK (WPA2-Pre-Shared Key) that only requires a single (identical) password entered into
each access point, wireless gateway and wireless client. As long as the passwords match, a wireless
client will be granted access to a WLAN.
If the AP or the wireless clients do not support WPA2, just use WPA or WPA-PSK depending on
whether you have an external RADIUS server or not.
Select WEP only when the AP and/or wireless clients do not support WPA or WPA2. WEP is less
secure than WPA or WPA2.
Encryption
WPA improves data encryption by using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Message Integrity
Check (MIC) and IEEE. WPA2 also uses TKIP when required for compatibility reasons, but offers
stronger encryption than TKIP with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in the Counter mode with
Cipher block chaining Message authentication code Protocol (CCMP).
TKIP uses 128-bit keys that are dynamically generated and distributed by the authentication server.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a block cipher that uses a 256-bit mathematical algorithm
called Rijndael. They both include a per-packet key mixing function, a Message Integrity Check
(MIC) named Michael, an extended initialization vector (IV) with sequencing rules, and a re-keying
mechanism.
WPA and WPA2 regularly change and rotate the encryption keys so that the same encryption key is
never used twice.

The RADIUS server distributes a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) key to the AP that then sets up a key
hierarchy and management system, using the PMK to dynamically generate unique data encryption
keys to encrypt every data packet that is wirelessly communicated between the AP and the wireless
clients. This all happens in the background automatically.
The Message Integrity Check (MIC) is designed to prevent an attacker from capturing data packets,
altering them and resending them. The MIC provides a strong mathematical function in which the
receiver and the transmitter each compute and then compare the MIC. If they do not match, it is
assumed that the data has been tampered with and the packet is dropped.
By generating unique data encryption keys for every data packet and by creating an integrity
checking mechanism (MIC), with TKIP and AES it is more difficult to decrypt data on a Wi-Fi
network than WEP and difficult for an intruder to break into the network.
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSK are the same. The only difference
between the two is that WPA(2)-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific
credentials. The common-password approach makes WPA(2)-PSK susceptible to brute-force
password-guessing attacks but it’s still an improvement over WEP as it employs a consistent,
single, alphanumeric password to derive a PMK which is used to generate unique temporal
encryption keys. This prevent all wireless devices sharing the same encryption keys. (a weakness of
WEP)
User Authentication
WPA and WPA2 apply IEEE and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless
clients using an external RADIUS database. WPA2 reduces the number of key exchange messages
from six to four (CCMP 4-way handshake) and shortens the time required to connect to a network.
Other WPA2 authentication features that are different from WPA include key caching and pre-
authentication. These two features are optional and may not be supported in all wireless devices.
Key caching allows a wireless client to store the PMK it derived through a successful authentication
with an AP. The wireless client uses the PMK when it tries to connect to the same AP and does not
need to go with the authentication process again.
Pre-authentication enables fast roaming by allowing the wireless client (already connecting to an
AP) to perform IEEE authentication with another AP before connecting to it.
Wireless Client WPA Supplicants
A wireless client supplicant is the software that runs on an operating system instructing the wireless
client how to use WPA. At the time of writing, the most widely available supplicant is the WPA patch
for Windows XP, Funk Software's Odyssey client.
The Windows XP patch is a free download that adds WPA capability to Windows XP's built-in "Zero
Configuration" wireless client. However, you must run Windows XP to use it.
WPA(2) with RADIUS Application Example
To set up WPA(2), you need the IP address of the RADIUS server, its port number (default is 1812),
and the RADIUS shared secret. A WPA(2) application example with an external RADIUS server
looks as follows. "A" is the RADIUS server. "DS" is the distribution system.
1The AP passes the wireless client's authentication request to the RADIUS server.
Appendix C Wireless LANs
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide 195
2The RADIUS server then checks the user's identification against its database and grants or denies
network access accordingly.
3A 256-bit Pairwise Master Key (PMK) is derived from the authentication process by the RADIUS
server and the client.
4The RADIUS server distributes the PMK to the AP. The AP then sets up a key hierarchy and
management system, using the PMK to dynamically generate unique data encryption keys. The
keys are used to encrypt every data packet that is wirelessly communicated between the AP and
the wireless clients.
Figure 116 WPA(2) with RADIUS Application Example
WPA(2)-PSK Application Example
A WPA(2)-PSK application looks as follows.
1First enter identical passwords into the AP and all wireless clients. The Pre-Shared Key (PSK) must
consist of between 8 and 63 ASCII characters or 64 hexadecimal characters (including spaces and
symbols).
2The AP checks each wireless client's password and allows it to join the network only if the password
matches.
3The AP and wireless clients generate a common PMK (Pairwise Master Key). The key itself is not
sent over the network, but is derived from the PSK and the SSID.
Appendix C Wireless LANs
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide
196
4The AP and wireless clients use the TKIP or AES encryption process, the PMK and information
exchanged in a handshake to create temporal encryption keys. They use these keys to encrypt data
exchanged between them.

Antenna Overview
An antenna couples RF signals onto air. A transmitter within a wireless device sends an RF signal to
the antenna, which propagates the signal through the air. The antenna also operates in reverse by
capturing RF signals from the air.
Positioning the antennas properly increases the range and coverage area of a wireless LAN.
Antenna Characteristics
Frequency
An antenna in the frequency of 2.4GHz (IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g) or 5GHz (IEEE 802.11a)
is needed to communicate efficiently in a wireless LAN
Radiation Pattern
A radiation pattern is a diagram that allows you to visualize the shape of the antenna’s coverage
area.
Antenna Gain
Antenna gain, measured in dB (decibel), is the increase in coverage within the RF beam width.
Higher antenna gain improves the range of the signal for better communications.
For an indoor site, each 1 dB increase in antenna gain results in a range increase of approximately
2.5%. For an unobstructed outdoor site, each 1dB increase in gain results in a range increase of
approximately 5%. Actual results may vary depending on the network environment.
Antenna gain is sometimes specified in dBi, which is how much the antenna increases the signal
power compared to using an isotropic antenna. An isotropic antenna is a theoretical perfect antenna
that sends out radio signals equally well in all directions. dBi represents the true gain that the
antenna provides.
Types of Antennas for WLAN
There are two types of antennas used for wireless LAN applications.
• Omni-directional antennas send the RF signal out in all directions on a horizontal plane. The
coverage area is torus-shaped (like a donut) which makes these antennas ideal for a room
environment. With a wide coverage area, it is possible to make circular overlapping coverage
areas with multiple access points.
• Directional antennas concentrate the RF signal in a beam, like a flashlight does with the light
from its bulb. The angle of the beam determines the width of the coverage pattern. Angles
typically range from 20 degrees (very directional) to 120 degrees (less directional). Directional
antennas are ideal for hallways and outdoor point-to-point applications.
Appendix C Wireless LANs
EMG1302-R10A User’s Guide
198
Positioning Antennas
In general, antennas should be mounted as high as practically possible and free of obstructions. In
point-to–point application, position both antennas at the same height and in a direct line of sight to
each other to attain the best performance.
For omni-directional antennas mounted on a table, desk, and so on, point the antenna up. For
omni-directional antennas mounted on a wall or ceiling, point the antenna down. For a single AP
application, place omni-directional antennas as close to the center of the coverage area as possible.
For directional antennas, point the antenna in the direction of the desired coverage area.
