Introduction

The D-Link DVA-G3340S High-Speed Wireless Router is an 802.11g high-performance, wireless router that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places.

Unlike most routers, the DVA-G3340S provides data transfers at up to 5X (compared to the standard 11 Mbps) when used with other D-Link AirPlus G products. The 802.11 g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11 b products. This means that you do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity. You may sacrifice some of 802.11 g’s speed when you mix 802.11 b and 802.11 g devices, but you will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 802.11g standard into your 802.11 b network. You may choose to slowly change your network by gradually replacing the 802.11 b devices with 802.11 g devices.

In addition to offering faster data transfer speeds when used with other 802.11g products, the DVA-G3340S has the newest, strongest, most advanced security features available today. When used with other 802.11 g WPA (WiFi Protected Access) and 802.1x compatible products in a network with a RADIUS server, the security features include:

WPA *Available around Q4/2003 as a free download: Wi-Fi Protected Access

authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automatically at a regular interval. WPA uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater security than the standard WEP security. (By contrast, the older WEP encryption required the keys to be changed manually.)

For home users that will not incorporate a RADIUS server in their network, the security for the DVA-G3340S, used in conjunction with other 802.11g products, will still be much stronger than ever before. Utilizing the Pre Shared Key mode of WPA, the DVA-G3340S will obtain a new security key every time it connects to the

802.11g network. You only need to input your encryption information once in the configuration menu. No longer will you have to manually input a new WEP key frequently to ensure security, with the DVA-G3340S, you can automatically receive a new key every time you connect, vastly increasing the safety of your communications.

Wireless Settings

Home > Wireless

The two essential settings for wireless LAN operation are the SSID and Channel Number. The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is used to identify a group of wireless LAN components. The SSID can be broadcast or can be hidden (not broadcast). Use the Advanced Wireless Settings menu to configure these basic settings. Wireless security using encryption (WEP) or access limitation (WPA) is also configured with the Wireless Settings method. Read more below about setting up security for Wireless LAN.

Wireless Settings menu

Configure Basic Wireless Settings

Follow the instructions below to change basic wireless settings.

1. To disable the wireless interface: click in the Enable AP check box to

remove the check mark and click the Apply button. This will immediately disable the wireless access point, it is not necessary to restart the access point to make this change.

2. If the wireless interface has been disabled: click the Enable AP check

box to place a check mark in it. Click the Apply button. It is not necessary to restart the access point unless you have also changed the channel or SSID.

3. The SSID can be changed to suit your wireless network. Remember that any

wireless device using the access point must have the same SSID and use the same channel. The SSID can be a continuous character string (i.e. no spaces) of up to 16 characters in length. To disable SSID sharing (SSID broadcast), you will need to go to the Advanced > Wireless Performance page. A hidden SSID makes it more difficult for wireless clients to join or leave the SSID as they must be manually configured to join. Click the Apply button to save any changes made to the SSID.

Wireless Settings − WEP

Home > Wireless > WEP

The wireless LAN interface of the DVA-G3340S has various security features used to limit access to the device or to encrypt data and shared information. The available standardised security for wireless LAN includes WEP and WPA Wireless security is configured with the Wireless Settings menu located in the Home directory.

Wireless Security − WEP

Security Options for Wireless

In the Wireless Settings menu, select the type of security you want to configure. The menu will change to present the settings specific to the method being configured. The Router’s wireless security options include three levels of WEP encryption and WPA for IEEE 802.1x network authentication or WPA with a user configured Pre Shared Key (PSK).

WEP Encryption

WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol or Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption can be enabled for security and privacy. WEP encrypts the data portion of each frame transmitted from the wireless adapter using one of the predefined keys. Decryption of the data contained in each packet can only be done if the both the receiver and transmitter have the correct key. WEP is disabled by default. To enable WEP, select the Enable option. Configure the Encryption Keys as desired and click the Apply button. The encryption key setup is described below.

DVA-G3340S User Manual Page 12 of 94 V1.00 AU

WEP can use open or shared keys, or may be configured to allow the clients to use either type of key. Use the Authentication Type: drop-down menu to choose Open, Shared or Both.

• Select Open to allow any wireless station to associate with each other

through the access point. Wireless devices will be able to communicate with all devices on a network unless they require a Shared key.

• Select Shared to only allow stations using a shared key encryption to

associate with each other through the access point. That is, only devices with the same key are allowed to communicate over a network with devices that share the same key. Shared key requires additional configuration of the keys to be used. Follow the instructions below to configure the Shared Keys.

• Select Both if you want to allow Wireless clients to specify using a shared or

open key.

Setup Encryption Keys

WEP Keys may be configured using Hex or ASCII characters. In addition there are three levels of encryption available; each level requires a different number of characters. Select Hex or ASCII from the Key Type drop-down menu. Hex or Hexadecimal digits are defined as the numerical digits 0 – 9 and the letters A – F (upper and lower case are recognized as the same digit). ASCII characters include numbers and letters but no spaces. An upper case ASCII character is NOT recognized as the same lower case character, and therefore must be configured exactly as typed for all wireless nodes using the access point. The length of the key depends on the level of encryption used. Select the Key Length from the drop-down menu. The available key lengths are 64, 128 or 256-bit encryption. In the spaces provided type in Key 1, Key 2, Key 3 and Key 4. The length of the character string used of the keys depends on the level (Key Length) of encryption selected. Only one key can be active. The active key is selected by clicking the radio button for the key you want to use. Click the Apply button when you have configured WEP as desired to put the changes into effect.

DVA-G3340S User Manual Page 13 of 94 V1.00 AU

PPPoE and PPPoA Connection for WAN

Follow the instructions below to configure the Router to use a PPPoE or PPPoA for the Internet connection. Make sure you have all the necessary information before you configure the WAN connection.

1. If not already selected, choose the PPPoE/PPPoA option from the WAN

Settings pull-down menu. PPPoE/PPPoA is selected by default if you are configuring the Router for the first time.

2. Under the ATM VC Settings at the top of the menu should not be changed

unless you have been instructed to change them. However, if you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values assigned for your account.

Leave the PVC and Virtual Circuit setting at the default (Pcv0 and Enabled)

values for now. This can be used later if you are configuring multiple virtual circuits for your ADSL service. For more information on ATM VC Settings, see the table on page 31 below.

3. Under the PPPoE/PPPoA heading, type the User Name and Password used

for your ADSL account. A typical User Name will be in the form user1234@isp.com.au, the Password may be assigned to you by your ISP or you may have selected it when you set up the account with your ISP.

4. Choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu located under the User

Name and Password entry fields. This defines both the connection protocol and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The available options are

PPPoA VC-MUX, PPPoA LLC and PPPoE LLC. If have not been provided specific

information for the Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.

5. Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1400) unless you have

specific reasons to change this (see table below).

6. Leave the MRU value at the default setting (default = 1492) unless you have

specific reasons to change this (see table below).

7. Leave the Default Route enabled if you want to use the Router as the default

route to the Internet for your LAN. Whenever a computer on the LAN attempts to access the Internet, the Router becomes the Internet gateway to the computer. If you have an alternative route for Internet traffic you may disable this without effecting the Router’s connection.

8. NAT should remain enabled. If you disable NAT, you not be able to use more

than one computer for Internet connections. NAT is enabled and disabled system-wide, therefore if you are using multiple virtual connections, NAT will disabled on all connections.

9. The Firewall should remain enabled for most users. If you choose to disable this

DVA-G3340S User Manual Page 17 of 94 V1.00 AU

you will not be able to use the features configured in the Firewall and Filters menus located in the Advanced tab. See the next chapter for more details on these menus.

10. Typically the global IP settings (i.e. IP address for the WAN interface) for a

PPPoA or PPPoA connection will use Dynamic IP assignment from the ISP. Some accounts may be assigned a specific global IP address. If you have been give an IP address for you PPPoE/PPPoA connection, select the Static IP option from the IP Control pull-down menu. This menu can be used to configure the WAN port as an Unnumbered IP interface. (See table below for Unnumbered IP)

11. Most users will not need to change ATM settings. If this is the first time you

are setting up the ADSL connection it is recommended that you leave the Service Category settings at the default values until you have established the connection. See the table on page 29 for a description of the parameters available for ATM traffic shaping.

12. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly,

click on the Apply button.

13. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the

settings to take effect. To Save & Reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the System menu button. In the System menu, click the Save & Reboot button under Save Settings and Reboot the System. The Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will automatically establish the WAN connection.

DVA-G3340S User Manual Page 18 of 94 V1.00 AU

MTU

MRU

Default Route

The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The default setting (1400 bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some user may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for wireless traffic or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet gaming). It is highly recommended that the user research how adjusting the MTU may affect network traffic for better or worse.

Similar to the MTU, except this applies to Maximum Received Unit size for downloading data. Most users will be happy with the default setting (1492 bytes). However this may also be optimized for fast downloads of general bulk Internet traffic, for low latency or for downloading to computers on the Wireless LAN. As with the MTU setting, the user should carefully consider how changing the MRU may effect Internet downloads for all systems on your LAN.

When this is enabled, the Router will be considered to be the primary gateway to the Internet and WAN for systems on your network. If you are using the Router on a network with one or more alternative gateway routers, you may prefer to disable this if you will use another router as the primary gateway.

Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull-down menu. Keep in mind that disabling NAT allows only a single computer to be

NAT

used for Internet access through the Router. NAT is enabled for the Router on all connections (i.e. Pvc0 – Pvc7) if your Router is set up for multiple virtual connections.

Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall and Filter features available in the Router. If you

Firewall

disable this you will not be able to configure settings in the Firewall or Filters menus in the Advanced directory.

This is used to determine how global IP settings are handled for the WAN interface. Typically PPPoE or PPPoA connections will use the default setting for

IP Control

Dynamic IP. Some users will be given a specific IP

address for the WAN interface. In this case you need

to change this setting to Static IP. When Static IP is

selected in the IP Control menu, you need to type in

DVA-G3340S User Manual Page 19 of 94 V1.00 AU

Static IP

the global IP address provided to you by your ISP.

The IP Unnumbered option is used if you want to set

up a non-TCP/IP port protocol link through the WAN interface. An IP Unnumbered interface does not have an IP address and therefore cannot be managed via Telnet or any other TCP/IP application.

If you have selected the Static IP option in the IP

Control menu, type in the global IP address used for your WAN interface. This should be given to you by your ISP.

DVA-G3340S User Manual Page 20 of 94 V1.00 AU

Dynamic IP Address Connection for WAN

Home > WAN > Dynamic IP Address

A Dynamic IP Address connection configures the Router to automatically obtain its global IP address from a DHCP server on the ISP’s network. The service provider assigns a global IP address from a pool of addresses available to the service provider. Typically the IP address assigned has a long lease time, so it will likely be the same address each time the Router requests an IP address. To configure a Dynamic IP Address connection, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not need to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose. See the table below for a description of all the settings available in this menu.

WAN Settings for Dynamic IP Address Connection

1. Choose the Dynamic IP Address option from the WAN Settings pull-down

menu.

Static IP Address for Connection WAN

Home > WAN > Static IP Address

When the Router is configured to use Static IP Address assignment for the WAN connection, you must manually assign a global IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address used for the WAN connection. Most users will also need to configure DNS server IP settings in the DNS Settings configuration menu (see below). Follow the instruction below to configure the Router to use Static IP Address assignment for the WAN connection. To configure a Dynamic IP Address connection, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not need to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose. See the table below for a description of all the settings in this menu.

Additional settings for Static IP Address connections:

MTU

This is the Subnet mask for the WAN interface. Get this from your ISP.

This is the IP address of your ISP’s Gateway router. It provides the connection to the Router for IP routed traffic that is outside your ISP’s network. That is, this will be the primary connection from the Router to most of the Internet. Get this IP address from your ISP.

This is not required for all IPoA connections. Check with your ISP for an ARP server IP address if this is necessary for your IPoA connection.

This is the IP address of the first choice for Domain Name Service (DNS) used to match the named URL web address used by most browsers with the actual global IP address used for a web server. Usually this will be a server owned by the ISP. Get this IP address from your ISP.

This is the second choice for a DNS server. Get this IP address from your ISP.

Similar to the MTU, except this applies to Maximum Received Unit size for downloading data. Most users will be happy with the default setting (1492 bytes). However this may also be optimized for fast

downloads of general bulk Internet traffic, for low latency or for downloading to computers on the Wireless LAN. As with the MTU setting, the user should carefully consider how changing the MRU may effect Internet downloads for all systems on your LAN.

ATM QoS Parameters Description

The ATM settings allow the user to adjust ATM Quality of Service (QoS) or traffic parameters to suit specific traffic requirements. For applications or circumstances where packet loss or packet delays are a concern, ATM QoS can be adjusted to minimize problems. For most accounts, it will not be necessary to change these settings. Altering QoS settings can adversely affect performance of some commonly used Internet applications.

If you plan to change QoS or traffic parameters, contact your ISP or network services provider for
