Introduction

Overview

Combining the cutting edge of Internet telephony and ATA manufacturing experience, PLANET now

introduces the latest member of PLANET Wireless ATA family: the VIP-161W/VIP-161SW.

To bring the most satisfaction to customers, the WATA not only provides the high quality of voice

communications and wired Internet sharing capabilities but also offers Access Point (AP) function for

daily wireless communication. With advanced router and VoIP DSP processor technology, the WATA is

able to make calls via SIP proxy voice communications plus the IP sharing and the QoS mechanism.

The WATA is the ideal choice for Voice over IP communication and integrates Internet sharing for the

daily tasks. To give most flexibility to users, the Wireless ATA provides direct analog interface for fax

machine and analog telephones. Users can not only make the daily VoIP communication but also enjoy

the convenience brought by FoIP communications.

With the WATA, home users and companies are able to save the cost of installation and extend their

previous investments in telephones, conferences and speakerphones. The WATA equipped with two

telephony interfaces, so users may register to different SIP proxy servers and establish up to 2

concurrent VoIP calls for more flexibility in the voice communications. The WATA can be the bridge

between traditional analog telephones and IP network with an extremely affordable investment.

The WATA includes two Ethernet interface for Internet (PPPoE, DHCP or Fixed IP) or office LAN

connection. The dual Ethernet design brings the greatest convenience when deploying VoIP network.

interface for Internet access and remote access. When you click “Operation Mode” from within the

Wizard Setup, the following setup page will be show.

Three WLAN modes of operation are available for Internet Access:

AP Mode:

In this mode the WATA supports AP functionality only. The WATA has the following network

interfaces: WAN, LAN and Wireless LAN.

AP-Client Mode:

In this mode the WATA accesses a remote AP. Please be sure that you have an account to

access your wireless service provider AP. In this mode the WAN port is used as a 2nd LAN

interface.

WISP & AP Mode：

In this mode the WATA accesses a remote AP. Please be sure that you have an account to access

your Wireless Service Provider's remote AP. In this WISP & AP mode the WAN port is used as a 2nd

LAN interface.

Three methods are available for Internet Access. Static IP / DHCP /

PPPoE type for your select .you should refer to section 3.1 “WAN

Setting” in user menu.

AP Setting

For configuring correctly the WLAN port in client mode. the below instructions will provide a quick

start. It is advised if possible to use the simplest network settings for first try.

For making sure the WATA is connecting to your wireless router (AP). You need to set up the

following: SSID, Frequency Channel, Authentication method and Encryption parameters

(Type/Encryption length/Keys.)

AP-Client Mode

This paragraph defines the required parameters to set up the WLAN interface as a Client on

your wireless access network. You need to define the following parameters:

Default WLAN mode / Remote SSID / Authorization key / IP / Gateway.

WISP & AP Mode

WAN Setting / LAN Setting

WAN (Wide Area Network) is a network connection connecting one or more LANs together over some

distance. For example, the means of connecting two office buildings separated by several kilometers

would be referred to as a WAN connection. The size of a WAN and the number of distinct LANs

connected to a WAN is not limited by any definition. Therefore, the Internet may be called a WAN.

WAN Settings are settings that are used to connect to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). The WAN

settings are provided to you by your ISP and often times referred to as "public settings". Please select

the appropriate option for your specific ISP.

For most users, Internet access is the primary application. WATA supports the WAN interface for

internet access and remote access. The following sections will explain more details of WAN Port Internet

access and broadband access setup. When you click “WAN Setting”, the following setup page will be

shown. Three methods are available for Internet Access.

Static IP

If you are a leased line user with a fixed IP address, enter in the IP address, subnet mask, gateway

address, and DNS (domain name server) address(es) provided to you by your ISP. Each IP address

entered in the fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which are four IP octets separated by a dot

(x.x.x.x). The Router will not accept the IP address if it is not in this format.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Dynamic IP (Get WAN IP Address automatically). If you

are connected to the Internet through a Cable modem line, then a dynamic IP will be assigned.

Note: WAN port gets the IP Address, Subnet Mask and default gateway IP address automatically, if

DHCP client is successful.

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). Some ISPs provide DSL-based services and use

PPPoE to establish communication link with end-users. If you are connected to the Internet through a

DSL line, check with your ISP to see if they use PPPoE. If they do, you need to make sure the following

items:

PPPoE User name: Enter username provided by your ISP.

PPPoE Password: Enter password provided by your ISP.

Host Name

The Host Name field is optional but may be required by some Internet Service Providers. The default

host name is the model number of the device. I

WAN Port MAC

The MAC (Media Access Control) Address field is required by some Internet Service Providers (ISP).

The default MAC address is set to the MAC address of the WAN interface in the device. It is only

necessary to fill the field if required by your ISP.

MTU and MRU

MTU stands for Maximum Transmission Unit, the largest physical packet size, measured in bytes that a

network can transmit. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets before being

sent.

DNS Server

DNS stands for Domain Name System. Every Internet host must have a unique IP address; also they

may have a user-friendly, easy to remember name such as www.wata.com

the user-friendly name into its equivalent IP address.

The original DNS specifications require that each domain name is served by at least 2 DNS servers

for redundancy.

The DNS server converts

Ping From WAN

Ping is a basic Internet program that lets you verify that a particular IP address exists and can accept

requests. Ping is used diagnostically to ensure that a host computer you are trying to reach is actually

operating.

LAN Setting

These are the IP settings of the LAN interface for the device. These settings may be referred to as

"private settings". You may change the LAN IP address if needed. The LAN IP address is private to your

internal network and cannot be seen on the Internet. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1 with a subnet

mask of 255.255.255.0.

LAN is a network of computers or other devices that are in relatively close range of each other.

DNS Proxy

A proxy server is a computer network service that allows clients to make indirect network connections

to other network services. The default setting is Enable the DNS proxy server.
