Configuring the WLAN Setting
SSID: Enter a name for your WLAN.
The service set identifier (SSID) is used to identify a WLAN. A wireless terminal (such as a
PC) and the wireless gateway can perform normal data communication only when they
have the same SSIDs. To ensure the WLAN security, do not use the default SSID. You can
enter a character string as the SSID, such as MyHome.
7
Page 13
SSID Broadcast: Enable or disable the SSID broadcast.
y Enabled: The E960 broadcasts the SSID of the WLAN, and users can easily access the
WLAN. Unauthorized users, however, can also easily access the WLAN because the
SSID is broadcasted.
y Disabled: The E960 does not broadcast the SSID of the WLAN. Before accessing the
WLAN, the user must obtain the SSID of the WLAN. Thus, the WLAN security is
improved.
Note:
For the convenience of the client accessing the WLAN, you can select Enabled for
SSID Broadcast when you configure the WLAN setting. Once you finish setting
up the WLAN, you can disable the SSID broadcast to improve the security of the
WLAN.
Configuring the WLAN Encryption Mode
To access the wireless network, you must set the wireless security key of your PC be
consistent with that of the wireless gateway.
No Encryption
For the convenience of the client accessing the WLAN, you can set the Encryption mode
to NO ENCRYPTION when you set up a WLAN. In daily use, however, this option is not
recommended for the security of the WLAN.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
y WPA-PSK is a 256-bit data encryption method that can automa tically change the key.
y WPA2-PSK is a more secure version of WPA-PSK, and it supports the IEEE 802.11
standard.
y WPA Encryption is algorithms for selecting the WPA data encryption. There are three
algorithms: TKIP, AES, and TKIP+AES.
y WPA Pre-Shared Key: You can enter 64-character hexadecimal value or 8–63-character
ASCII value as the key. The ASCII value contains all characters that can be entered
through the PC keyboard, and the hexadecimal value contains numbers of 0–9 and
characters of A–F. For example, you can enter the ASCII value of 1234abcde as the key.
y Network Key Rotation Interval: It is used to set how long a network key is
dynamically changed. By default, it is 0. To disable this function, you can set the value to
0 or Null.
WEP
Wireless Equivalent Privacy, a 64-bit or 128-bit data encryption method. The 128-bit WEP
encryption provides higher security level.
Network key 1: You can enter 5 ASCII characters or 10-character hexadecimal numeral to
form a 64-bit key. You can also enter 13 ASCII characters or 26-character hexadecimal
numeral to form a 128-bit key.

Special Applications
Special applications refer to the interactive applications, such as online games and
videoconferences.
You may want to expose your network to the Internet in certain limited and controlled ways,
so that you can enable some applications (such as game, voice and chat) working from the
LAN, and enable Internet access to servers in the home network. Your gateway supports
both of these functions.
For example, to use a Transfer Control Protocol (TCP) application on one of your PCs, you
can simply select TCP from the protocol list and enter the port of the used application. All
TCP-related data arriving at your gateway from the Internet will be forwarded to the
specified port.
Similarly, if you want to grant Internet users access to special application inside your home
network, you must specify the application that you want to provide and the port that
provides the application.
For example, if you want to share a UDP application inside the home network, you must
select UDP from the protocol list and enter the port of the provided application. When an
Internet user accesses the external IP address of your gateway, the gateway will forward the
incoming UDP request to the port that provides the application.
Note:
y When setting a special application, ensure that the port is not in use by another
application.
Click
to access the Special Applications window.

special applications and remote servers.
4. Enter the open port that will be using or providing the application service. The open
port can be a single port or a range of ports.

DMZ Service
The Demilitarized (DMZ) function allows a local computer to be exposed to the Internet. If
you need to use an Internet service that is not in the special applications list or to expose
your computer to all services without restriction, you can enable the DMZ function.
However, the DMZ computer is not protected by the firewall. It is vulnerable to attack and
may also put other computers in the home network at risk.
An incoming request for access to a service in the home network is filtered by the gateway.
Your gateway forwards the request to the specified DMZ computer unless the service is

case, that PC receives the request instead.

Remote Web Management
The remote web management allows the access and control of the gateway either from the
home network or from the Internet.
When you are on a trip, you can maintain your gateway through the remote web
management service. It also allows your ISP to help you solve gateway problems from a
remote location.
1. Click

13 Typical Networking Example
You can construct a small LAN through the WLAN interface or four Ethernet interfaces of
the gateway.
Your gateway also supports external hubs, Ethernet switches, or routers. To construct a
LAN with multiple PCs, you can extend the Ethernet interfaces through a hub or Ethernet
switch.
For example, the gateway constructs a small-sized LAN with multiple PCs in the SOHO to
access the Internet wirelessly, and the networking diagram is as follows:
