II. Quick Setup
The Quick Setup will guide you through the steps necessary to
configure your DSL Router.
DSL Auto-connect
If you want your router automatically detect PVC and connect to
the network, check the box Auto-connect.
The WX-5803 has OAM (Operation, Administration and
Management) for network administration and support. It scans
PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) using OAM F5 cell starting
from 0/32 to 0/60, then 1/32 to 1/60, until the last PVC 8/60 or
until it receives OAM response. It skips over established PVCs.
When an OAM response is received, WX-5803 will try to
establish a connection. The following sequence is typical of a
network protocol and encapsulation your router will try to use:
PPPoE with LLC encapsulation
PPPoA with VC-MUX encapsulation
Setup DSL Connection Manually
PPPoA with LLC encapsulation
If one fails, the router will try the next. If all these connections
fail, it will try next PVC. If the responding PVC is not PPPoE or
PPPoA, it will choose the first responding PVC and run in
Bridging connection type with LLC encapsulation.
If no PVC responds to OAM, the router will use the default
settings 0/35 and run in Bridging connection type with LLC
encapsulation.
If the ISP doesn't support the Auto-connect, you have to setup
the DSL connection manually.
Specify the values for VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI
(Virtual Channel Identifier). For the following steps to create a
DSL connection, please refer to the next section Advanced
Setup.
After you complete the DSL connection settings, a Wireless –
Setup page will appear . Enter a desired name in SSID field. This
SSID is a network name that identifies the wireless devices in
the network. The default value is WX5803. All workstations and
access points must use the same SSID to be able to
communicate with one another. The SSID is a 32-character field,
and the value is case sensitive.
Close your Web UI window and wait for about 2 minutes before
reopening your web browser.
Click Next button.
The WAN Setup – Summary page will appear. It displays a
summary of all WAN setting profiles. Click Save/Reboot button
to save all the settings and reboot the router.

Allows only one PC on the LAN
The public IP address assigned by the remote using the
PPP/IPCP protocol is actually not used on the WAN PPP
interface. Instead, it is forwarded to the PC’s LAN interface
through DHCP. Only one PC on the LAN can be connected
to the remote since the DHCP server within the ADSL
router has only a single IP address to assign to a LAN
device.
NAPT and firewall are disabled when this option is selected.
The ADSL router becomes the default gateway and DNS
3. Check the box Disconnect if no activity if you want to
enable the function of automatic disconnection. It will
auto-disconnect the ADSL Router when there is no activity
on the line for a period of time.
PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service
providers. Unless your ISP specifically requires this setup, do
NOT select it.
The PPP IP Extension supports the following conditions:
server to the PC through DHCP using the LAN interface IP
address.
The ADSL router extends the IP subnet at the remote
service provider to the LAN PC. That is, the PC becomes a
host belonging to the same IP subnet.
The ADSL router bridges the IP packets between WAN and
LAN ports, unless the packet is addressed to the router’s
LAN IP address.

If you want to enable NAT function, check the box Enable
NAT. If NAT is enabled, it will display a NAT submenu on
the left panel after reboot.
NAT occurs when multiple IP addresses on a private LAN are
converted to one public address. This public address is sent out
to the Internet. NAT increases security because the IP address
for a PC connected to the private LAN is never transmitted to the
Internet. NAT also allows xDSL/cable routers to be used with
low-cost Internet accounts, where only one TCP/IP address is
provided by the ISP. The user may have many private addresses
masked by the single address provided by the ISP.
4. If you want to enable Firewall function, check the box
Enable Firewall. If Firewall is enabled, it will display a
Firewall submenu on the left panel after reboot.
Firewall will rejects any unsolicited data from the Internet to
access the computer on your LAN. Basically, if you do not
request data, the data will not be allowed by the firewall to pass.

Security
The WX-5803 provides advanced mechanism for wireless
security. If you want to enable the security mechanism, click the
Security tab.
Network Authentication
Without implementing security, it is possible for an unauthorized
person to intercept your data. It will ensure only authorized
users can access the network.
Use Network Authentication drop-down list to select the method
framework for centralized user identification and authentication,
and a key distribution management method. Clients authorized
by RADIUS servers can access this WX-5803. To use 802.1X,
enter the required values on RADIUS Server IP Address,
RADIUS Port and RADIUS Key fields.
of wireless security. There are three methods provided: 802.1X,
WPA and WPA-PSK.
(1) 802.1X
802.1X is an IEEE standard for authenticated network access to
(2) WPA
WPA also adopts an authentication scheme -- via 802.1X. It
consists of three main elements: an Authentication Server
(typically a RADIUS server), WPA-enabled router or AP (called
"Authenticator"), and a WPA-enabled client (called "Supplicant").
To use WPA authentication, enter the required values on WPA
Group Rekey Interval, RADIUS Server IP Address, RADIUS
Port and RADIUS Key fields.
WPA Group Rekey Interval is used to specify the frequency of
encryption key rotations. The lower the number, the faster your
encryption key will rotate, however, setting this number too low
may cause your wireless network to slow down.
In WPA, you can select TKIP, or AES or TKIP+AES as data
encryption method.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) includes four algorithms:
MIC (message integrity check), to protect packets from
tampering; PPK (Per-Packet Key) hashing, to prevent weak key
attacks; extended IV (initialization vector), to reduce IV reuse
and the possibility that a hacker will collect sufficient packets to
crack the encryption; and a re-keying mechanism, to change the
temporal key dynamically. TKIP is the most commonly used
encryption method; however, if your wireless clients do not
support TKIP, the WX-5803 also supports AES (Advanced
Encryption Security) encryption. AES will replace 802.11's
RC4-based encryption under 802.11i specification.
(3) WPA-PSK
In enterprises, WPA will be used in conjunction with both
wireless router and authentication server. In Small Office/ Home
Office (SOHO) environment, where there are no authentication
servers, user can use pre-shared key (PSK) mode in place of
the authentication server. WX-5803 provides WPA running in
PSK mode.
Enter the following field with the required values.
WPA Pre-shared Key
WPA Pre-Shared Key (PSK) is a field where the password is
entered. All wireless clients must also use this password to
gain access to the network. Note that the Key format must also
protect wireless communications. WEP provides a way of
match the setting for the wireless clients.
WPA Group Rekey Interval
WPA Group Rekey Interval is used to specify the frequency of
encryption key rotations.
Data Encryption
WPA Encryption has 3 choices: TKIP, or AES or TKIP+AES.
creating an encrypted key that is shared between a wireless
client and the router. This key encrypts data before it is
transmitted. WEP can be implemented with 64-bit or 128-bit key.
128-bit key is relatively securer than 64-bit key.
1. In Data Encryption, select WEP if you want to enable
WEP.
2. Click on the Encryption Strength drop-down list to
select appropriate encryption strength.
3. Click on Set Encryption Keys button, and the Wireless
Settings – Encryption Keys page will appear.
Data Encryption - WEP
You can use WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption to
4. It is possible to enter up to 4 different WEP Keys. The
WEP key must match between two parties for secure
communications. Enter four different keys in the
Network Key fields provided. If you choose 64-bit
encryption, enter 5 ASCII characters (or 10
hexadecimal digits). If you choose 128-bit encryption,
enter a 13-character (or 26 hexadecimal digits) WEP
key.
5. Select only one key out of the four provided in the
Current Network Key drop-down list.
6. Click Apply button. Then, the page will return to
Wireless – Security page.
