Remark concerning the positioning:

The connection quality depends strongly on the place or surroundings where you put up the WLAN device. Please ensure that the device or its antennae are neither covered nor built in. We advise you against putting it up near metallic objects or other electric or radiant devices. In case of reception ﬂ uctuations or connection interruptions we recommend you to move interference sources such as DECT telephones, mobile phones, Bluetooth devices or other WLAN networks out of the way. If this is not possible, it may also be helpful to change the cable.

System requirements:

• Operating system with TCP/IP protocol installed

• Java-capable web browser such as Mozilla F irefox, Microsoft Internet E xplorer or Opera.

Safety instructions:

Do not use the device in moist or extremely dusty areas, on radiators or in the vicinity of heat sources. This device is not designed for use outdoors. Protect the device from pressure and impact. The device may not be opened or moved during operation. Do not use the device without an antenna at tached

Caution Use the router with the enclosed power supply unit only. Using other power supply units can cause

irreparable damage to the product.

Note: !! The “Connect On-Demand” setting is recommended if you have a pay-as-you-go tariff (if you pay

according to volume or time). This means that the Internet connection is disconnected automatically after the period set in the “Idle time” option. Connection costs may be high if you are permanently connected to the internet. Please also note that closing the browser does not automatically disconnect you from the Internet. A number of programs send queries to the Internet or receive data without this being clearly indicated. For the router, these queries are jus t as valid as opening a browser, for example. If you want to ensure that there is no active connection to the Internet, you should switch of f the device.

Requirements for installing the HAMA WLAN ADSL2+ Modem Router, 54 Mbps:

WEP (6 4 and 128 Bit) WPA-PSK (TKIP) WPA2-PSK (AES)

4.1 WEP encryption:

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a standard encryption algorithm for WLAN. It controls access to the network

and guarantees the integrity of the data. T his method is considered unsafe and outdated due to a number of weaknesses.

00062727bda.indd Abs2:3300062727bda.indd Abs2:33 02.10.2007 11:14:36 Uhr02.10.2007 11:14:36 Uhr

Page 10

First select whether you want to use 64 bit or 128 bit encryption. T he latter offers greater security. Next, enter ox and your Security key (you can use characters ranging from 0 -9 and a-f). The length of the key is limited to 10 letters/numbers for the 64 bi t encryption, and 26 letters/numbers for the 128 bit encryption.

You can preset up to four keys in the Key #1 to #4 ﬁ elds. Select Key #1, for example, and enter your key of choice with the required length.

Examples: 64 bit Hex (10 characters) = 0x231074a6ef 128 bit Hex (2 6 characters) = 0 x231074a6b9 773ce43 f91a5bef3

Click SAVE at the bottom of the window to save your settings.

4.2 WPA and WPA 2 encryption:

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encryption method for W LAN. W PA contains the WEP architecture, but offers additional protection using dynamic codes that are based on the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). WPA also of fers pre-shared keys (PSK) for user authentication. WPA 2 is a development of WPA and uses a different encryption algorithm, the Advanced Encr yption Standard (AES).

Choose between WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK in the Authentication Type ﬁ e l d .

Next, enter the “Pre-Shared Key” (PSK). The key must be between 8 and 6 3 random characters; letters ( A-Z), numbers and punctuation marks are permit ted. Any client wanting to access the access point must know this character string.

Click SAVE at the bottom of the window to save your settings.

12. Glossary (Explanation of terminology):

Client: The term Client is often used colloquially to mean computers in a computer net work on which

preferred client applications are performed.

MAC address: The MAC address (Media Access Control, Ethernet ID or, with Apple, Airport ID and Ethernet ID)

is the hardware address of every individual net work adapter, and is used as a unique identiﬁ er for devices in a net work. The MAC address is often found on the net work card, integrated into the serial number. You can also locate the address using software; various commands are required depending on the operating system.

SPI: Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) refers to a dynamic packet ﬁ lter whereby every data packet is

assigned a speciﬁ c active session. The data packets are inspected and the connection state is included in the decision. During the process of this connection in the ﬁ rewall, the data packets are inspected and entered into tables. A data packet comparison and the table determine whether the data packet is passed through. Data packets that cannot be assigned certain criteria are not allowed through. In securit y-relevant applications, ﬁ rewalls that use the SPI procedure are therefore superior to the standard packet ﬁ lter ﬁ rewalls.

Web: The World Wide Web (shortened to Web or ww w) is a system of hypertext documents that is

retrievable over the Internet. The user needs a Web browser to retrieve the data from the Web server or to display the information on a screen, for example. In the document, the user can navigate the hyperlinks (which refer to other documents) regardless of the Web server on which the hyperlinks are saved.

FTP: The File Transfer Protocol is a network protocol for transferring ﬁ les over TCP/IP net works. It is

used for transferring ﬁ les from a server to a client (download), from a client to a server (upload) or client-controlled bet ween two servers. F TP is also used for creating and reading ﬁ les, as well as for renaming and deleting ﬁ les.

Tel net : Tel net ( Telecommunication Network) is the name of a widely-used net work protocol on the

Internet . It is usually used to allow users access to Internet processors by means of the command line.

SNMP: The Simple Network Management Protocol is a network protocol that was developed for

monitoring and controlling network elements (routers, servers, switches, printers, computers etc.) from a central station.

Ping: Ping is a program used to test whether a particular host or computer is reachable in a network

and for determining its response rate.

WAN: A Wide Area Network is a computer network that, in contrast to a LAN, covers a very large

geographical area.

Page 27

LAN: A Local Area Network is a network in which computers or clients are connected using net work

cables or wireless L AN.

TCP: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a protocol that determines the way in which data should

be exchanged bet ween computers. All modern computer operating systems have TCP and employ it for exchanging data with other computers. It is a component of the Internet protocol suite, the core basis of the Internet .

UDP: The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a minimal, connectionless net work protocol that belongs

to the transport layer of the Internet protocol suite. The task of the UDP is to ensure that data transferred over the internet arrives at the correct application.

ICMP: As with TCP and UDP, the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) uses the Internet Protocol

(IP) and is a core protocol in the Internet protocol suite. Its purpose in networks is to send error and information messages.
