1.1Features

Internet Access Features

Shared Internet Access:

All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet through the WN-151ARM, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).

Built-in ADSL2/2+ Modem:

The WN-151ARM has a built-in ADSL modem; it supports all common ADSL2/2+ connections.

IPoA, PPPoE, PPPoA, Direct Connection Support:

The WN-151ARM supports all common connection methods.

Auto-detect Internet Connection Method:

In most situations, the WN-151ARM can test your ADSL and Internet connection to determine the connection method used by your ISP.

Fixed or Dynamic IP Address:

On the Internet (ADSL port) connection, the WN-151ARM supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.

Advanced Internet Functions

Application Level Gateways (ALGs):

Applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.

Firewall:

As well as the built-in firewall to protect your LAN, you can define Firewall Rules to determine which incoming and outgoing traffic should be permitted.

7

AirLive WN-151ARM User’s Manual

Port Triggering:

This feature, also called Special Applications, allows you to use Internet applications which normally do not function when used behind a firewall.

Port Forwarding:

This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.

Dynamic DNS Support:

DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature, allows users to connect to Servers on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if you have a dynamic IP address which changes every time you connect.

URL Filter:

Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.

Scheduling:

Both the URL Filter and Firewall rules can be scheduled to operate only at certain times. This provides great flexibility in controlling Internet -bound traffic.

QoS Support:

Quality of Service can be used to handle packets so that more important connections receive priority over less important one.

Logs:

Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send log data to a Syslog Server. Log data can also be E-mailed to you.

VPN Pass through Support:

PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.

Wireless Features

Wireless N technology:

Advanced Wireless N technology for enhanced throughput and coverage. Complies with 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11n standard and is backward compatible with IEE 802.11b/g standards.

WEP:

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption key, the key sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before transmission, providing protection against snoopers.

WPA:

Similar to WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmission, providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a newer standard than WEP which provides easier configuration and greater security than WEP.

WPA2-PSK:

WPA2 encryption key uses the extremely secure AES encryption method which it is recommended f or user who has security breach concern.

802.1x:

The 802.1x mode is providing for the industrial-strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization.

Wireless MAC Access Control:

This feature will check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can be granted for access.

WPS:

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is the simplest way to build connections between wireless network clients and this router. Instead of selecting an encryption mode and entering a long encryption passphrase, just press client and router’s WPS push button and the WPS will do the setup for you.

WDS:

WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows the Wireless Access Point to act as a Wireless Bridge. Both Point-to-Point and Multi-Point Bridge modes are supported.

AirLive WN-151ARM User’s Manual

LAN Features

Single Port Ethernet Router:

The WN-151ARM integrated 1-port 10/100Mbps LAN switch with auto MDI-MID-X support.

DHCP Server Support:

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The WN-151ARM can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.

Configuration & Management

Easy Setup:

WEB user interface, open a browser for configuration.

Configuration File Upload/Download:

Save (download) the configuration data from WN-151ARM to your personal computer for easy backup.

Restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration file from your personal computer to WN-151ARM.

Remote Management.

The WN-151ARM can be managed from any PC on your LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the Internet.

Security Features

Password - protected Configuration: Password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.

Wireless LAN Security: WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x and WEP and Wireless access control by MAC address are all supported. The MAC-level access control feature can be used to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.

NAT Protection: An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the WN-151ARM.

Firewall: All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources.

Protection against DoS attacks: DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The WN-151ARM incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

AirLive WN-151ARM User’s Manual

DHCP

What DHCP Does

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request.

The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).

The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as allocating an IP Address.

The WN-151ARM can act as a DHCP server.

Windows other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP client. This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However, Windows uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatically instead of "DHCP Client".

You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your LAN does not have other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on your LAN.)

Using the WN-151ARM's DHCP Server

This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen, you can:

Enable or Disable the WN-151ARM's DHCP Server function.

Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.

Note: You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices while using DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server.

Using another DHCP Server

You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP Server, rather than the WN-151ARM's, the following procedure is required.

Disable the DHCP Server feature in the WN-151ARM. This setting is on the LAN screen.

Configure the DHCP Server to provide the WN-151ARM's IP Address as the Default Gateway.

To Configure your computer to use DHCP

This is the default setting for TCP/IP for all non-Server versions of Windows.

See Chapter 4 - Client Configuration for the procedure to check these settings.
