server. There are four types of connection ways for you to select from. Please choose your
connection mode from the drop-down list as required by your ISP. The default setting is
PPPoE.

PPPoE

PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on
connection by simulating a dial-up connection. With PPPoE the client does not set a static IP
address, instead an IP address is assigned dynamically whenever the client access to the
Internet. If PPPoE connection type is selected, please configure these parameters:

User ID/Password: Enter the User ID and Password provide by your ISP to access the
remote host.

Connection Type:
Dial On Demand: If checked, under disconnected status, if any client PC sends out request

for connection, the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) will dial the ISP automatically. In this
case, if the system administrator wants to disconnect the PPP session, just click the

Disconnect button.
Keep Alive: When enabled, a PPP session will always keep on line.
Manual: This button allows you to manually launch or terminate the PPP session. For instant

connection, just click the Connect button. The connection will be established instantly
without having to restart the device or click the Apply button. To disconnect the PPPoE
session, just click the Disconnect button.

Max Idle Time: This value specifies the idle minutes that elapse before the device

automatically disconnects the PPP session. If no traffic is passing through during the span of
time your specified, the PPP session is terminated.

IP Address/Subnet Mask: Displays the IP address and the subnet mask the device gets after

the connection is established. Clicking Refresh will refresh the information.

25

Basic Configuration

Obtain an IP address automatically

The WAN IP address and the default gateway IP address is assigned by the ISP or DHCP
server of another subnet or xDSL/ATU-R. ( If the modem system has DHCP server capability,
the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) can act as a DHCP client and receive its WAN IP
address and subnet mask from the modem.)

Specify an IP Address

If your ISP has assigned a fixed permanent IP address for you, choose this connection mode
and configure these parameters:

IP Address/Subnet Mask: Enter the fixed IP address and its associated subnet mask
provided by your ISP.

Default Gateway: This function allows you to set up the default gateway on the WAN
interface of your router. Please enter the gateway IP address provided by your ISP.

DNS Relay: Set up the IP address of the DNS (Domain Name System) server. The DNS
server address will be passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address. The DHCP
clients use the DNS to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa.

26

Basic Configuration

Bridge

By selecting “Bridge” mode you enable bridging over the WAN port. The router can bridge
the packets from your local network to the remote LAN over the WAN port.

Note

The Bridge mode is commonly used on the LAN to LAN architecture.

27

Wireless Setting

The Broadband Wireless Router (AP) provides wireless connectivity within a range of several
hundreds feet and acts as a bridge between your wired LAN and wireless PCs. This section
shows you how to configure the wireless LAN setting.

Basic Configuration

Wireless SSID (Service Set Identity): A name that uniquely identifies a wireless network.
All clients that want to communicate with the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) must have the
same SSID as it.

Desired Channel : The frequency in which the radio links are about to be established. Usually
the clients will scan the whole operable channels and then select the desired communications
channel automatically .

28

Advanced Configuration

LAN Setting

This page allows you to define the IP address over the LAN interface.

IP Address & Subnet Mask: Allows you to specify the private IP address on the device’s LAN

interface.

By default, the IP address and subnet mask is 192.168.0.1 and 255.255.255.0. It is
recommended NOT to change the default settings.

Note

If you have changed the LAN IP address, you will need to correspondingly change the
IP address of the DHCP server as well as its pool address range. If you didn’t do that,
the DHCP client will not be able to access the router.

Enable NAT Function: Enabling NAT function allows multiple LAN machines to access the
Internet for the cost of only one IP address. If you are going to enable this feature, check the
box and click Apply.

DHCP Server: Allows you to enable or disable the DHCP function. DHCP server is enabled
by default. When you instruct the router to act as a DHCP server, it assigns dynamic IP
addresses to your PCs (DHCP clients) whenever they request for IP information. The DHCP
server “leases” the IP addresses from a defined pool for a specified amount of time to the PCs.
DHCP helps system administrators to centrally manage the assignment and distribution of IP
information to PCs on the LAN.

29

Advanced Configuration

DHCP Lease time: Specify the time that a network device can lease a private IP address
before the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) reassigning the IP address.

Address Pool (from…to…): When you check the box to enable DHCP server function, you
should give an available range of IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254) that can be
assigned to PCs on the LAN. PCs on the LAN will use the assigned IP addresses to access the
Broadband Wireless Router (AP) through Ethernet.

Default Gateway: Use the LAN port IP address of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) as
the default gateway for PCs on the LAN.

DNS Server Notification: Let the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) relay DNS automatically.

30

WEP Setting

Privacy Security

The privacy security function can enhance media security by encryption technology. All
clients must set the same encryption key to maintain the tightened communication with the
Broadband Wireless Router (AP) properly. To turn on the privacy function:

Authentication Algorithm: Select Open Key or Shared Key as the authentication type.

Open Key

If Open Key is selected as the authentication type, a wireless station can associate to any
wireless network available in the air and receive any messages that are not encrypted.

Note: Open Key is also referred as Open System in some models.
Shared Key

With shared key authentication, only those wireless stations that possess the correct WEP
keys can join the wireless network.

Advanced Configuration

WEP Encryption

If you are not going to use WEP encryption, select the Disable option.
To enable WEP encryption function, select your encryption length as 64-Bit or 128-Bit.
When entering your WEP keys, notice that your WEP keys must be comprised of

hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F, and a-f) and must contain 10 characters for 64-bit WEP
Keys or 26 characters for 128-bit WEP keys. All the four keys (Key 1-4) must be entered.

Default Tx Key: Select one WEP key from the four keys to encrypt the data you transmit.

31

Routing

IP Dynamic Rout ing

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is utilized as a means of exchanging routing information
between routers. It helps the routers to determine optimal routes. This page allows you to
enable/disable this function.

By default, RIP is disabled with Disable selected. You are allowed to enable RIP over the
LAN/WAN interface. Upon each interface, you can customize the RIP on Receive Mode and

Transmit Mode respectively.
Receive Mode: It incorporates the RIP information when receiving the RIP packets.
Transmit Mode: It broadcasts the routing table.
RIP Version: When enabling RIP, you can select the RIP version from RIPv1, RIPv2 or both

(RIPv1 and RIPv2).
Disable RIP: To disable RIP, just select Disable from the drop-down list.

32

Advanced Configuration

IP Static Routing

This page shows all the routing rules of data packets going through your Broadband Wireless
Router (AP) if it runs in routing mode. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate
routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and your don’t need to
configure additional static routes. Unless your network is unusual case such as multiple
routers or multiple IP subnets and you must configure static routes.

For example, if the circumstances below apply to your network:

1. You have another subnet network in your network.

2. Your another network is 10.3.1.0.

3. The IP of the two interfaces of your device are 10.3.1.1and 192.168.0.3 respectively.
Then you need to create a static route. You should enter the destination IP address 10.3.1.0

and gateway IP address 192.168.0.3 to commit the setting.
When you first configure your router, you will find a default route created with your ISP as

the gateway, and the second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x
addresses.

Select a Static Route: Firstly, select an existing static route or New Entry to edit its
parameters. Click Delete if you want to delete it.

Network IP Address: The destination IP address of the network where data packets are to be
sent.

Netmask: The subnet mask of the destination IP address.
Gateway IP address: The next IP address where data packets are to be sent for the

destination you specify in previous fields. This is to be configured only when the LAN
interface is configured as route; otherwise leave it as 0.0.0.0.

Delete: Allows you to select a required entry and delete it from the static route table.

33

Forwarding

The Broadband Wireless Router (AP) implements NAT to let your entire local network appear
as a single machine to the Internet. The typical situation is that you have local servers for
different services and you want to make them publicly accessible. With NAT applied, it will
translate the internal IP addresses of these servers to a single IP address that is unique on the
Internet. NAT function not only eliminates the need for multiple public IP addresses but also
provides a measure of security for your LAN.

When the router receives an incoming IP packet requesting for access to your local server, the
router will recognize the service type according to the port number in this packet (e.g., port 80
indicates HTTP service and port 21 indicates FTP service). By specifying the port number,
you tell the router which service should be forwarded to the local IP address you specify.

Protocol: Select a protocol type used by the service that will be forwarded.
TCP/IP Port: The Broadband Wireless Router (AP) supports port mapping function which

translates a standard port number to a non-standard number. Incoming data packets sent to a
specific IP port can be mapped to the port you specify. The most often used port numbers
include:

Advanced Configuration

21 (FTP ), 80 (HTTP), 23 (Telnet) and 25(SMTP)

IP Address: Specify the internal IP address to which the packets are forwarded to.
How to configure port forwarding:

1. Select the protocol type from the drop-down list.

2. Select a service in TCP /IP Port field and enter the port number.

3. Enter the IP address of the local server in the IP Address filed.

4. Click Apply button to commit the setting.
If you are going to delete a forward entry, select it from the status filed to delete it.

34

DMZ

Advanced Configuration

NAT separates an external network from directly referencing an internal network. With DMZ
configuration, a DMZ host acts as a neutral zone between the private network and the outside
network. For example, if you have a host providing online games or videoconferencing
applications which are incompatible through NAT, you can specify its IP address here and
then click the Apply button.

UPnP

Universal plug and play (UPnP) is an architecture for pervasive peer to peer network
connectivity of intelligent appliances, wireless devices and PCs of all form factors. It is
designed to bring easy-to-use, flexible, standards-based connectivity to ad-hoc or unmanaged
networks whether in the home, in a small business, public spaces, or attached to the Internet.

To enable UPnP function, just check the Enable UPnP Function box and then click Apply
button to activate the function.

35

Glossary

This chapter presents a more detailed description of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP)’s
configuration parameters.

DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol)

When operates as a DHCP server, the
Broadband Wireless Router (AP)
assign IP addresses to the client PCs
on the LAN. The client PCs “leases”
these Private IP addresses for a
user-defined amount of time. After
the lease time expires, the private IP
address is made available for
assigning to other network devices.

The DHCP IP address can be a
single, fixed public IP address, an ISP
assigned public IP address, or a
private IP address.

If you enable DHCP server on a
private IP address, a public IP
address will have to be assigned to
the NAT IP address, and NAT has to
be enabled so that the DHCP IP
address can be translated into a public
IP address. By this, the client PCs are
able to access the Internet.

Authentication and WEP
Encryption

The absence of a physical connection
between nodes makes the wireless
links vulnerable to eavesdropping and
information theft. To provide a
certain level of security , the IEEE

8002.11 standard has defined two
types of authentication methods, open
key and shared key. With open key
authentication a wireless PC can join
any network and receive any
messages that are not encrypted. With
shared key authentication, only those
PCs that possess the correct
authentication key can join the
network. By default IEEE 802.11
wireless devices operate in an Open
Key network.

LAN (Local Area Network) &
WAN (Wide Area Network)

A LAN is a computer network
limited to the immediate area, usually
the same building or floor of a
building. A WAN, on the other hand,
is an outside connection to another
network or the Internet.

The Ethernet side of the Broadband
Wireless Router (AP) is called the
LAN port. It is a twiced-pair Ethernet
10Base-T interface. A hub can be
connected to the LAN port. More
than one computers, such as server or
printer, can be connected through this
hub to the Broadband Wireless
Router (AP) and composes a LAN.

The WAN port of the Broadband
Wireless Router (AP) composes the
WAN interface, which supports PPP
or RFC 1483 connecting to another
remote DSL device of ATU-R.

Private IP Address

Private IP addresses are also LAN IP
addresses, but are considered
“illegal” IP addresses to the Internet.
They are private to an enterprise
while still permitting full network
layer connectivity between all hosts
inside an enterprise as well as all
public hosts of different enterprises.

The Broadband Wireless Router (AP)
uses private IP addresses by
assigning them to the LAN that
cannot be directly accessed by the
Internet or remote server. To access
the Internet, private network should
have an agent to translate the private
IP address to public IP address.

41

Glossary

RIP (Routing Information
Protocol)

RIP is a routing protocol that uses the
distance-vector routing algorithms to
calculate least-hops routes to a
destination. It is used on the Internet
and is common in the NetWare
environment. It exchanges routing
information with other routers. It
includes V1, V2 and V1&V2, which
controls the sending and receiving of
RIP packets over Ethernet.

Virtual Server

You can designate virtual servers,
e.g., a FTP, web, telnet or mail server,
on your local network and make them
accessible to the outside world. A
virtual server means that it is not a
dedicated server -- that is, the entire
computer is not dedicated to running
on the public network but in the
private network.

UDP (User Data gram Protocol)

UDP is a connectionless transport
service that dispenses with the
reliability services provided by TCP.
UDP gives applications a direct
interface with IP and the ability to
address a particular application
process running on a host via a port
number without setting up a
connection session.

Infrastructure mode
A backbone to extend the service

provided by network. This mode
provides wireless connectivity to
multiple wireless network devices
within a fixed range or area of
coverage, interacting with wireless
nodes via an antenna.

SSID

SSID is a thirty-two
character(maximum) alphanumeric
key identifying the wireless local area
network.

Service Set Identity. A group name
shared by all members of an IEEE

802.11b network. Only devices with
the same SSID are allowed to
establish connections. For the
wireless devices in a network to
communicate with each other, all
device must be configured with the
same SSID.

MAC Address
Media Access Code Address. A

unique, 48-bit number assigned to
every network interface card by the
manufacturer.

42

Glossary

NAT (Network Address
Translation) IP Address

NAT is an Internet standard that
translates a private IP within one
network to a public IP address, either
a static or dynamic one. NAT
provides a type of firewall by hiding
internal IP addresses. It also enables a
company to use more internal IP
addresses.

If the IP addresses given by your ISP
are not enough for each PC on the
LAN and the Broadband Wireless
Router (AP), you need to use NAT.
With NAT, you make up a private IP
network for the LAN and assign an
IP address from that network to each
PC. One of some public addresses is
configured and mapped to a private
workstation address when accesses
are made through the gateway to a
public network.

For example, the Broadband Wireless
Router (AP) is assigned with the
public IP address of 168.111.2.1.
With NAT enabled, it creates a
Virtual LAN. Each PC on the Virtual
LAN is assigned with a private IP
address with default value of

192.168.0.2 to 192.168.2.254. These
PCs are not accessible by the outside
word but they can communicate with
the outside world through the public
IP 168.111.2.1.

Troubleshooting

Problems with LAN

On Ethernet client

1. PCs on the LAN can not get IP addresses from the Broadband Wireless Router
(AP).

The chances are that the interface used as DHCP server is modified and the client PCs do
not renew IP addresses.

If your DHCP server is enabled on private IP Address previously and you modify the
interface to public IP Address, the client PCs should renew IP addresses.

2. The PC on the LAN cannot access to the Broadband Wireless Router (AP).

Check that your PC is on the same subnet with the Broadband Wireless Router (AP).

On Wireless client

• Check your wireless LAN card driver is properly installed.

• Check the wireless configuration of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) .

3. Can’t access the Router’s Web Configuration interface from a PC on your
local network.

• Make sure you are using the correct login information, the default login name and

password are admin (small letters).

• Make sure your PC’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are using

the recommended addressing scheme, your PC’s address should be in the range of

192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.

Note

1. If you use DHCP server and your PC’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x: please
renew the IP address and check the connection from the PC to the router.

2. If you are using a wireless LAN card equipped PC, check that the SSID and WEP
settings are the same for the router and PC.

3. If your router’s IP address has been changed and you don’t know the current IP
address, clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s
IP address to 192.168.0.0

Problems with WAN

1. If you router can’t access the Internet, you should first determine whether the
router is able to obtain a WAN IP address from the ISP. Or you have been assigned
a static IP address.

• Check the IP address for the WAN port.

• If your ISP requires a login program as PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), ensure the user

name and password you enter are correctable.

45

Troubleshooting

• If your Broadband Wireless Router (AP) is set to routing mode and you use private

IP addresses on the LAN, make sure Network Address Translation (NAT) is
enabled.

• Your PC may not recognize any DNS server address. Check your DNS setting on

the Broadband Wireless Router (AP).

2. Check the physical connection between the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) and
the xDSL/ATU-R.

At the DOS prompt, ping the IP address of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP). That is,
ping the WAN IP address that you set or provided by your ISP. If the following response
occurs:

Reply from WAN IP address(xxx..xxx.xxx.xxx) bytes=32 time=100ms TTL=253

Then the connection between the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) and the network is OK.
If you get a failed ping with the response of:

Request time out

Then the connection is fail. Check the cable between the Broadband Wireless Router (AP)
and the network.

3. Check the DNS setting of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP).

At the DOS prompt, ping the IP address of the DNS provided by your ISP. For example, if
your DNS IP is 168.95.1.1, then ping 168.95.1.1. If the following response occurs:

Reply from 168.65.1.1 bytes=32 time=100ms TTL=253

Then the connection to the DNS is OK.
If you get a failed ping with the response of:

Request time out

Then the DNS is not reachable. Check your DNS setting on the Broadband Wireless
Router (AP).

Problems with Upgrading

The following lists the error messages that you may see during upgrading and the action to
take.

1. Error Message: invalid file format

Possible cause : The firmware file format is invalid.
Action: Check the file format is correct, otherwise download a firmware file with correct format.

2. Error Message: firmware update in process

Possible cause : The upgrade is already in process.
Action: Do not turn off your Broadband Wireless Router (AP) otherwise you will cause damage to the

device.

3. Error Message: can’t allocate update buffer

Possible cause : It may caused by the lack of memory.
Action: Reboot your Broadband Wireless Router (AP) and perform the upgrade task again.

46

Problems with Date and Time

The Broadband Wireless Router (AP) uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the
current time from one of the Network Time Servers on the Internet. If your LCD Panel can’t
display the date and time, please check whether the SNTP setting is correct.
