2-4-3 Remote Management

This router does not allow management acc ess from Internet, to prevent possible security risks (es pecially when you defined a weak password, or didn’t change de fault password). However, you can still management t his router from a specific IP address by enabling the ‘Remote Management’ Function.

To do so, please follow the following instruc t ion s :

Please clic k ‘System’ menu on the left of web management interface, then click ‘Remote Management’, and the following message will be displayed on your web brows er:

Here are desc riptions of every setup items:

Press ‘Continue’ to save the settings made and back to we b management interface ; press ‘Apply’ to save the se ttings made and restart the router so the settings will take ef fect after it reboots.

NOTE: When you want to manage this router from another computer on internet, you have to input the IP address and port number of this router. If your Internet service provider assigns you with a static IP address, it will not be a problem; but if the IP address your service provider assigns to you will vary every time you establish an internet connection, this will be a problem.

Please either asks your service provider to give you a static IP address, or use dynamic IP to host name mapping services like DDNS. Please refer to chapter 2-5-8 ‘DDNS client’ for details.

NOTE: Default port number the web browser will use is ‘80’. If the ‘Port’ setting in this page is not ‘80’, you have to assign the port number in the address bar of web browser manually. For example, if the IP address of this router is 1.2.3.4, and the port number you set is 8888, you have to input following address in the address bar of web browser:

http://1.2.3.4:8888

2-6 Wired LAN Configurations

worry! We will provide recommended setup values below.

Before all computers using wired Ethernet connection (i.e. those computers connect to this router’s LAN port 1 to 4 by Ethernet cable) can communicate with each other and access internet, they m ust have a valid IP address.

There are tw o ways to assign I P addresses to computers: static IP address (set the IP address for every compute r manually), and dynamic IP address (IP address of computers will be assigned by router automatically. It’s recommended for most of computers to use dynamic IP address, it will save a lot of time on setting IP addresses for every computer, especially when there are a lot o f com puter s in your network; for servers and network devices which will provide services to other computer and users that come from Internet, stat ic IP address should be used, so other computes can loca te the server.

Suggestions on IP address numbering plan:

If you have no idea on how to define an IP address plan for your

network, here are some suggestions.

1. A valid IP address has 4 fields: a.b.c.d, for most of home and company users, it’s suggested to use 192.168.c.d, where c is an integer between 0 and 254, and d is an integer between 1 and 254. This router is capable to work with up to 253 clients, so you can set ‘d’ field of IP address of router as 1 or 254 (or any number bet ween 1 and 254) , and p ic k a n u mb er b etween 0 and 254 for field ‘c’.

2. In most cases, you should use ‘255.255.255.0’ as subnet mask, which allows up to 253 clients (this also meets router’s capability of working with up to 253 clients).

3. For all servers and network devices which will provide services to other people (like Internet service, print service, and file service), they should use static IP address. Give each of them a unique number between 1 and 253, and maintain a list, so everyone can locate those servers easily.

4. For computers which are not dedicated to provide specific service to others, they should use dynamic IP address.

If you don’t really understand the descr ip t io ns l ist ed ab o v e, d on’t

2-7-3 Wireless Security

It’s very important to set wireless security settings properly! If you don’t, hackers and malicious users can reach your network and valuable data without your consent and this will cause serious security problem.

To set wireless security settin gs, Please click ‘2.4GHz Wireless’ or ‘5GHz Wireless’ menu on the left of web management interf ace, then click ‘Security Settings’, then follow the following instruc tions to set wireless security settings:

Please sele ct an encryption method from ‘Encryption’ dropdown menu, there are four options:

Page 91

2-7-3-1 Disable wireless security

When you select this mode , data encryption is disabled, and every wireless de vice in proximity will be able to connect your wireless router if no other security measure is enabled (li ke MAC address ac cess control

- see section 2-7-4, or disable ESSI D br oa dc as t).

Only use this option when you really wan t to allow everyone to use your wireless router, and you don’t care if there’s someone reads the dat a you transfer over network without your consent.

2-7-3-2 WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy

When you select this mode , the wireless router will use WEP encryption, and the followin g setup menu will be shown on your w eb browser:

Here are descriptions of every setup items:

Key Length (2): There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and

128-bit. Using ‘128-bit’ is safer than ’64-bit’, but

Page 92

will reduce some data transfer performance.

Key Format ( 3): There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex.

When you sele ct a key format, the number of characters of key will be displayed. For example, if you select ’64-bit’ as key length, and ‘Hex’ as key format, you’ll see the message at the right of ‘Key Format’ is ‘Hex (10 characters), which means the length of WEP key is 10 characters.

Default Tx Key (4): You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you can

decide which key is b ein g use d by def aul t here. If

you don’t know whic h one you should use, select ‘Key 1’.

Encryption Key Input WEP key characters here, the number of 1 to 4 (5-8): characters must be the same as the numbe r

displayed at ‘Key Format’ field. You can use any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if you select ‘ASCII’ key format, and if you select ‘Hex’ as key format, you can use characters 0-9, a-f, and A-F. You must ente r at least one encryption key here, and if you entered multiple WEP keys, they should not be same with each other.

Enable 802.1x IEEE 802.1x is a n authentication protocol. Every Authentication (9): user must use a valid account to login to this

wireless router before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates user by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encryption the data during communication. If there is a RADIUS server in you environment, please enable this function. Check thi s box and another sub-menu will appear:

2-7-5 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection between wir eless network clients and this wireless router. You don’t have to select encry pti on mode and input a long enc ryption passphrase every time when you need to setup a wireless client, you only have to press a button on wireless client and this wireless router, and the WPS will do the rest for you.

This wireless router suppor ts two types of WPS: Push-Button Configuration (PBC), and PIN code. If you want to use PBC, you have to push a specif ic button on the wireless client to start WPS mode, and switch this wireless router to WPS mode too. You can push Re set/WPS button of this wireless router, or click ‘Start PBC ’ button in the web configura tion i nte r face to do this; if you want to use PIN code, you ha ve to know the PIN code of wireless client and switch it to W PS mode, then provide the PIN code of the wireless client y ou wish to connect to this wireless router.
