1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the WLAN Residential Gateway which is designed to aim at FTTX applications. This WLAN Residential Gateway provides four TP ports for LAN applications, one fiber optic or TP port for WAN, two sets of FXS telephony ports and built-in IEEE

802.11b/g or 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN (To use CATV application, please purchase the WLAN Residential Gateway with RF module installed). The combination of wireless and VoIP function provides users not only more flexible ways to enjoy bandwidth-intensive services but also more secure internetwork connections by implementing packet or URL filtering policies.

The wireless function of this Gateway conforms to IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards that can provide speed rate up to 30Mbps or 80Mbps when used with other 802.11b/g/n wireless products (the speed rate varies depends on the model that your purchase). To enhance wireless connections to reach further, detachable SMA antennas, dispersing the same amount of power in all directions, can be used to receive and deliver stable and high-gain transmissions. The WLAN Residential Gateway also supports WPA/WPA2 authentication methods and 64/128-bit data encryption to implement strict security protection so as to prevent your wireless networks from unauthorized uses or possible malicious attacks. Other security mechanisms provided that can protect your network including the uses of disabling SSID broadcast function, MAC filtering, URL filtering, DDoS protection.

For VoIP applications, the internationally recognized standards, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), have been employed to manage multimedia communication sessions so that users can use traditional analog telephones to make telephone calls to IP telephones over the Internet. Calls received from IP telephones work exactly the same as you would expect from the traditional telephone service. Other WLAN Residential Gateway’s features are: Voice Activity Detection (VAD) / Silence Suppression which reduces the bandwidth that a call uses by not transmitting when you are not speaking; Comfort Noise Generation that is the background noise the device generates to fill moments of silence when the other device in a call stops transmitting because the other party is not speaking (as total silence could easily be mistaken for a lost connection); Echo Cancellation which is WLAN Residential Gateway’s supporting G.168, an ITU-T standard for eliminating the echo caused by the sound of your voice reverberating in the telephone receiver while you talk.

The WLAN Residential Gateway is mainly dedicated to the FTTX broadband service providers who look for a way of delivering multiple IP services to the home users. The fiber optic port supports connection distance from 2KM to 20KM or further than 100KM by using multi-mode optical fiber, single-mode optical fiber (SMF), or bi-direction SMF. The transmission distance varies depending on the fiber transceiver that your purchase. For detailed information about fiber transceiver, please refer to Fiber Transceiver Information PDF in Documentation CD-ROM. To easily manage and maintain the device, advanced network settings are configurable via Web-based Management such as Firmware upgrade. The featured NAT and DHCP server functions also allow you to use a hub or switch to establish a private network depending on your personal needs that allows multiple computers to share a single Internet connection.

1.2 Management Options

Management options available in this Residential Gateway are listed below:

 Web Management

Web Management is of course done over the network. Once the Residential Gateway is on the network, you can login and monitor the status remotely or locally by a web browser. Local console-type Web management, especially for the first time use of Residential Gateway to set up the needed IP, can also be done through any of the four 10/100Base-TX 8-pin RJ-45 ports located at the front panel of the Residential Gateway. Direct RJ45 LAN cable connection between a PC and Residential Gateway is required for this.

 SNMP Management (See 3. SNMP NETWORK MANAGEMENT for detailed

descriptions.)

1.3 Interface Descriptions

Before you start to configure your device, it is very important that the proper cables with the correct pin arrangement are used when connecting the Residential Gateway to other devices such as switch, hub, workstation, etc. The following describes correct cables for each interface type.

 WAN 100Base-FX Fiber Port

1x100Base-FX Fiber port is located within the upper-left corner of the front top of the Residential Gateway. This port is primarily used for up-link connection and will always operate at 100M/Full Duplex mode. Duplex SC or WDM Simplex SC types of connectors are available. Use proper multimode or single-mode optical fiber to connect this port with other Fast Ethernet Fiber port.

 LAN 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 Ports

4x10/100Base-TX 8-pin RJ-45 ports are located at the front of the Residential Gateway. These RJ-45 ports allow user to connect their traditional copper based Ethernet/Fast Ethernet devices into network. All these ports support auto-negotiation and MDI/MDIX auto-crossover, i.e. either crossover or straight through CAT-5 cable may be used.

Since there is no separated RJ-45 Management Console port for this Residential Gateway, however any of these four 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports can be used temporarily as the RJ-45 Management Console Port for local management. This temporary RJ-45 Management Console Port of the Residential Gateway and a RJ-45 LAN cable for PC connections are required to connect the Residential Gateway and a PC. Through these, the user then can configure and check the Residential Gateway even when the network is down.

1.4 Connecting the Residential Gateway

Before starting to configure the Residential Gateway, you have to connect your devices correctly. When you connect your device correctly, the corresponding LEDs will light up.

 Connect the power adaptor to the power port of the Residential Gateway on the back,

and the other end into a wall outlet. The Power LED should be ON.

 The system starts to initiate. After completing the system test, the Status LED will light

up.

 CAUTION: For the first-time configuration, connect one end of an Ethernet patch

cable (RJ-45) to any ports on the front panel and connect the other end of the patch cable (RJ-45) to the Ethernet port on Administrator computer. LAN LED for the corresponding port will light up.

 Connect one end of an Ethernet patch cable (RJ-45) to other LAN ports of the Router

and connect the other end of the patch cable (RJ-45) to the Ethernet port on other

1.5 RF over Fiber (With RF Receiver only)

Fiber Optic RF Receiver with SC/APC connector is located within the upper-left corner of the top-front of the WLAN Residential Gateway. This port is primarily used for CATV RF link connection and will operate at output level greater than 24dBmV@-5dBm of optical input with 77 NTSC or 60 PAL channels of loading. Use proper RF optical fiber to connect this port with other fiber port at the CATV head end. Also use TV Coaxial Cable to connect the TV with the TV coaxial cable female connector located in the front of the WLAN Residential Gateway. There are three LEDs beside the TV coaxial cable connector to indicate the status of TV/RF Output, RF Fiber Link status, and Power status respectively. See below for CATV LED descriptions.

1.6 LED Descriptions

2. WEB MANAGEMENT

This chapter describes how to manage the Residential Gateway through a Web browser. The IP address concepts and gaining access to the Residential Gateway will be introduced first, and then followed by web-based management instructions.

2.1 The Concept of IP address

IP addresses have the format n.n.n.n, for example 168.168.8.100.

IP addresses are made up of two parts:

 The first part (168.168 in the example) refers as network address identifies the

network on which the device resides. Network addresses are assigned by three allocation organizations. Depending on your location, each allocation organization assigns a globally unique network number to each network that wishes to connect to the Internet.

 The second part (8.100 in the example) identifies the device within the network.

Assigning unique device numbers is your responsibility. If you are unsure of the IP addresses allocated to you, consult the allocation organization from which your IP addresses were obtained.

Remember that no two devices on a network can have the same address. If you connect to the outside world, you must change all the arbitrary IP addresses to comply with those you have been allocated by the allocation organization. If you do not do this, your outside communications will not operate.

A subnet mask is a filtering system for IP addresses. It allows you to further subdivide your network. You must use the proper subnet mask for proper operation of a network with subnets defined.

2.2 Start Configuring

The Residential Gateway can be managed via a Web browser. However, before doing so, you must assign a unique IP address to the Residential Gateway. Use a RJ-45 LAN cable and any of the four 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports of Residential Gateway as the temporary RJ-45 Management console port to login to the Residential Gateway and set up the IP address for the first time. (The default IP is “192.168.0.1”. You can change the Residential Gateway’s IP to the needed one in the WAN Settings under Network Configuration menu.)

Follow these steps to manage the Residential Gateway through a Web browser:

 Use one of the four 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports as the temporary RJ-45

Management console port to set up the assigned IP parameters of the Residential Gateway.

1. IP address

NOTE: By default, the remote access to the Residential Gateway is disabled. If you would like to login the Residential Gateway from WAN port or ports assigned in Bridge Mode, you must enable “Remote Administration” option in Administrator Account under the Management Menu and then add IP address (if necessary) and specify Http port number for remote login. Once completed, you can type in the specified IP address and Http port number in URL field of your web browser like this “192.168.1.198:8888” to access to web management.

2. Subnet Mask

3. Default gateway IP address, if required

 Run a Web browser and specify the Residential Gateway’s IP address to reach it.

(The default IP of Residential Gateway is “192.168.0.1” before any changes.)

 Login to the Residential Gateway to reach the Main Menu.

Once you gain the access, a Login window appears like the following:

Enter the authorized user name and password then click “Login”. The default user name is admin and without a password (leave this field blank).

After a successful login, the following Residential Gateway Main Menu screen appears.

System Information page for 802.11n models System information page for 802.b/g models

Both 802.11n & 802.11b/g models have same software functions except that 802.11n models provide users to use 802.11n wireless mode that can achieve higher speed rate. In this user’s manual, we will use screenshots from 802.11n model consistently to explain software functions. Differences in software functions between 802.11b/g and 802.11n models will also be pointed out in this user’s manual.

DHCP Server Settings

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual

clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure this gateway as a DHCP server or disable it. When the gateway is configured as a server, it provides the TCP/IP configuration for clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN; otherwise, the computer must be manually configured.

Tick “DHCP server” checkbox to enable or disable the DHCP server. If Enable is checked and a DHCP server is available on the network, the Residential Gateway will automatically get the IP address from the DHCP server. Otherwise (Disabled), the user needs to specify the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set as well.

Start IP Address: The starting IP address which can be assigned to this Residential

NOTE: This Residential Gateway supports DHCP auto-provisioning function that enables DHCP clients to automatically download the latest Firmware and Configuration image. For information about how to set up a DHCP server, please refer to APPENDIX A.

Gateway when a DHCP server is enabled and available on the network.

End IP Address: The ending IP address which can be assigned to this Residential Gateway when a DHCP server is enabled and available on the network.

DHCP Leased Time: Enter the length of lease time in seconds for the automatically-

assigned IP address. When the leased time is expired, the user has to get the automaticallyassigned IP address from the DHCP server again.

802.11 N only: (This mode is only available in 802.11n models) The Residential

Gateway only supports 802.11n standard.

802.11G/N mixed: (This mode is only available in 802.11n models) The Residential Gateway supports both 802.11g and 802.11n standard.

802.11 B/G/N mixed: (This mode is only available in 802.11n models) The Residential Gateway supports 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n standard.

WLAN Channel: Select the channel for wireless communication from the pull-down menu or tick the “auto” checkbox to allow the router to automatically search the available channel. The default WLAN channel is Channel 6 (2.437 GHZ).

WLAN SSID: Specify the unique name for your WLAN, up to 32 characters long. This will allow client devices with the same SSID as you defined here to connect to the Access Point. Tick the “Hide SSID” checkbox when you do not want the specified SSID to be broadcasted.

Encryption: There are four encryption options available in the drop-down menu. Select

“NONE” if you prefer no encryption with your data; otherwise, choose “WEP”, “WPA” or “WPA2” as your encryption method.

1. WEP Encryption: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is based on IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC 4 encryption algorithm to encrypt data over the wireless network so as to protect your data from unauthorized accesses or intruders. When connecting to a WEP network, the user has to know a key that can be either 64-bit or 128 bit with ASCII characters or hexadecimal characters.

Authentication: There are two options available for authentication; these are, “Open System” and “Share Key”. For more secure protection, you should choose “Share Key” option which requires wireless clients have the same key positions with the VoIP & Wireless Residential Gateway.

WEP Encryption Length: Select either 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP. 128-bit WEP requires a longer key than 64-bit WEP. Your wireless clients must have the same WEP encryption length as this Residential Gateway; otherwise, the connection will not be established.

Key 1 ~ 4: Enter values for Key 1 to Key 4 with either HEX or ASCII characters.

If you choose 64-bit WEP as your WEP encryption length, enter 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters (“0-9”, “A-F”) for each Key (1~4). If you choose 128-bit WEP, enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters (“0-9”, “A-F”) fro each Key (1~4).

2. WPA: WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access and intends to improve the security functions of WEP by using two security-enhanced types to encrypt data, these are: TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).

WPA Cipher Suite: Select either “TKIP” or “AES” (AES is a stronger encryption method than TKIP).

WPA Pre-Shared Key: Enter the pre-shared key value which can be between 8 and 63 characters long or 64 HEX characters long. Symbols and spaces can also be used.

3. WPA2: WPA2, based on 802.11i, provides stronger wireless security than WPA to protect your network from malicious intruders.

WPA Cipher Suite: Choose either TKIP or AES.

WPA Pre-Shared Key: Enter the pre-shared key value which can be between 8 and 63

characters long or 64 HEX characters long. Symbols and spaces can also be used.

2.5.4 WLAN Access Policy

Select WLAN Access Policy Setting from the Network Management menu, then WLAN Access Policy Setting screen page appears.

Access Policy: To disable Access Policy function or to select “Allow all” or “Reject all” accesses from the control list.

would like to add to the access control list. A total of 50 MAC addresses can be added to the access control list.

Insert to list: Once you have entered a MAC address, press “Insert to list” to add it to the

list.

Delete from list: Select a MAC address from the access control list and press “Delete from list” to remove it from the list.

2.5.5 Static Route

The Residential Gateway uses IP or Host name to communicate with management computers, for example using HTTP, telnet, SSH, or SNMP. Using IP static routes allows the Residential Gateway to respond to remote management stations that are not reachable through the default gateway, for example when sending SNMP traps or using ping packets to test IP connectivity.

Select Static Route from the Network Management menu, then Static Route screen page appears.

Enable: Tick the checkbox to turn on this static route rule.

Type: Specify the Type to be used with the Residential Gateway IP address. The types

available are listed in the pull-down menu with following options – NET (IP address), Host (Host name).

Target: Specify the IP network address or Host name of the final destination. Routing is always based on network number.

Netmask: Select the subnet mask for this destination from the pull-down menu.

Gateway: Specify the default gateway IP address.

Action: Insert - To insert a new static route to the Residential Gateway. Change - To

modify the current static route setting.
