Installing the Router

Connect the ADSL Line and Telephone

An RJ-11 cable will be connected to the wall phone jack and the
line-end of the splitter. Connect another RJ-11 phone wire from
the modem-end of the splitter to the port labeled “ line” on the
router. A third RJ-11 phone wire will be needed to connect the
telephone to the phone-end of the splitter.

NOTE: See connections on the installation diagram.

Connect the PC to the Router

Use the Ethernet cable to connect your computer directly to the
router. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to one of the ports
labeled LAN on the rear panel of the router and connect the other
end to the Ethernet port of your computer. Attach any additional
PCs to the router using RJ-45 cables to the port labeled LAN on
the rear panel of the router.

Connect the Power Adapter

Complete the process by connecting the AC power adapter to the
POWER connector on the back of the device and plug the adapter
into a wall outlet or power strip. Then turn on and boot up your
PC and any LAN devices, such as hubs or switches, and any
computers connected to them.

ADSL

There are three major items in the ADSL settings:

Modulation Methods

Six modulation methods for different linking speed are supported
by the 6211 ADSL router: G.Dmt Enabled, G.lite Enabled, T1.413
Enabled, ADSL Enabled, Annex L Enabled, and ADSL2+ Enabled.
Set this value only as directed by your ISP.

Phone Line Pair

The 6211 ADSL router supports phone lines on pins 2 and 3 or
pins 1 and 4 to connect your ADSL line. If your phone system
uses pins 2 and 3, attach a normal RJ11 cable to the router and
select “ Inner pair” on the screen; if your phone system uses pins 1
and 4, attach the phone with the supplied RJ11 cable and select
“ Outer pair” on the screen.

Capability

Do not change these settings unless directed by your ISP.

DSL Advanced Settings

The test mode can be selected from the DSL Advanced Settings

Tone Settings

The frequency band of ADSL is split up into 256 separate tones,
each spaced 4.3125 kHz apart. With each tone carrying separate
data, the technique operates as if 256 separate modems were
running in parallel. The tone range is from 0 to 31 for upstream
and from 32 to 255 for downstream. Do not change these settings
unless so directed by your ISP.

Wireless

This section allows you to configure wireless settings on your
router.

Basic

The below Wireless – Basic screen lets you enable or disable
wireless. The default setting for wireless is enabled. You can
also hide the access point so others cannot see your ID on the
network.

Security

The next screen is the Wireless – Securityy screen which allows
you to select the network authentication method and to enable or
disable WEP encryption. Note that depending on the network
authentication that is selected, the screen will change accordingly
so additional fields can be configured for the specific
authentication method.

Network authentication methods include the following—

• Openn—anyone can access the network. The default is a
disabled WEP encryption setting.

• Sharedd—WEP encryption is enabled and encryption key
strength of 64-bit or 128-bit needs to be selected. Click on
Set Encryption Keys to manually set the network encryption
keys. Up to 4 different keys can be set and you can come
back to select which one to use at anytime.

• 802.1X——requires mutual authentication between a client
station and the router by including a RADIUS-based
authentication server. Information about the RADIUS
server such as its IP address, port and key must be entered.
WEP encryption is also enabled and the encryption
strength must also be selected.

• WPA—(Wi-Fi Protected Access))— usually used for the larger
Enterprise environment, it uses a RADIUS server and TKIP
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) encryption (instead of
WEP encryption which is disabled). TKIP uses128-bit
dynamic session keys (per user, per session, and per
packet keys).

• WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access – Pre-Shared Key))—
WPA for home and SOHO environments also using the
same strong TKIP encryption, per-packet key construction,
and key management that WPA provides in the enterprise
environment. The main difference is that the password is
entered manually. A group re-key interval time is also
required.

• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)) —second generation of
WPA which uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
instead of TKIP as its encryption method. Network re-auth
interval is the time in which another key needs to be
dynamically issued.

• WPA2- PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 – Pre-Shared Key))—
suitable for home and SOHO environments, it also uses
AES encryption and requires you to enter a password and
an re-key interval time.

• Mixed WPA2 / WPAA—during transitional times for upgrades
in the enterprise environment, this mixed authentication
method allows “ upgraded” and users not yet “ upgraded” to
access the network via the router. RADIUS server
information must be entered for WPA and a as well as a
group re-key interval time. Both TKIP and AES are used.

• Mixed WPA2 / WPA-PSKK—useful during transitional times
for upgrades in the home or SOHO environment, a pre­shared key must be entered along with the group re-key
interval time. Both TKIP and AES are also used.

Advanced

Advanced features of the wireless LAN interface can be
configured in this section.

Settings can be configured for the following—

• AP Isolationn—if you select enable, then each of your
wireless clients will not be able to communicate with each
other.

• Bandd—a default setting at 2.4GHz – 802.11g

• Channell -- 802.11b and 802.11g use channels to limit

interference from other devices. If you are experiencing
interference with another 2.4Ghz device such as a baby
monitor, security alarm, or cordless phone, then change the
channel on your router.

• Multicast Ratee—the rate at which a message is sent to a
specified group of recipients.

• Basic Ratee—the set of data transfer rates that all the
stations will be capable of using to receive frames from a
wireless medium.

• Fragmentation Thresholdd—used to fragment packets which
help improve performance in the presence of radio
frequency (RF) interference.

• RTS Threshold (Request to Send Threshold)) —determines
the packet size of a transmission through the use of the
router to help control traffic flow.

• DTIM Intervall—sets the Wake-up interval for clients in
power-saving mode.

• Beacon Intervall —a packet of information that is sent from a
connected device to all other devices where it announces
its availability and readiness. A beacon interval is a period
of time (sent with the beacon) before sending the beacon
again. The beacon interval may be adjusted in milliseconds
(ms).

• Xpress Technology——a technology that utilizes standards
based on framebursting to achieve higher throughput. With
Xpress Technology enabled, aggregate throughput (the
sum of the individual throughput speeds of each client on
the network) can improve by up to 25% in 802.11g only
networks and up to 75% in mixed networks comprised of

802.11g and 802.11b equipment.

• 54g Mode—— 54g is a Broadcom Wi-Fi technology.

• 54g Protectionn--the 802.11g standards provide a protection

method so 802.11g and 802.11b devices can co-exist in the
same network without “ speaking” at the same time. Do not
disable 54g Protection if there is a possibility that a 802.11b
device may need to use your wireless network. In Auto
Mode, the wireless device will use RTS/CTS (Request to
Send / Clear to Send) to improve 802.11g performance in
mixed 802.11g/802.11b networks. Turn protection off to
maximize 802.11g throughput under most conditions.

experience for audio, video and voice applications over a
Wi-Fi network.
