To identify the maxima length of packet, the over length packet will be fragmentized. The allowed range is 256-2346, and default length is

2346.

This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. The range is 0~2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the present RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. Fill the range from 0 to 2347 into this blank.

Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a beacon interval value. The allowed setting range is 20-1024 ms..

A: In a typical environment, the Router is installed between the XDSL line and the LAN.

Plug the XDSL Router into the XDSL line on the wall and Ethernet port on the Hub

(switch or computer).

2. Q: Why does the throughput seem slow?

A: To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your cable doesn’t exceed 100 meter. If

you have to do so, we advise you to purchase a bridge to place it in the middle of the

route in order to keep the quality of transmitting signal. Out of this condition you

would better test something else.

z Verify network traffic does not exceed 37% of bandwidth.

z Check to see that the network does not exceed 10 broadcast messages per

second.

z Verify network topology and configuration.

http://www.sapido.com.tw/ User Manual v1.0.0

A: Force your NIC to 10Mbps or half duplex mode, and turn off the "Auto-negotiate"

feature of your NIC as a temporary measure. (Please look at the Network Control

Panel, in your Ethernet Adapter's Advanced Properties tab.)

4. Q: Why can't I connect to the Web Configuration?

A: you can remove the proxy server settings in your web browser.

9.5 GS293d Setup

1. Q: Why does GS293d’s setup page shut down unexpectedly?

A: If one of the pages appears incompletely in GS293d ’s setup pages, please click on

Logout item on the Main Menu before shutting it down. Don’t keep it working. Then,

close Internet browser and open it again for going back to the previous page.

2. Q: I don’t know how to configure DHCP.

A: DHCP is commonly used in the large local network. It allows you to manage and

distribute IP addresses from 2 to 254 throughout your local network via GS293d .

Without DHCP, you would have to configure each computer separately. It’s very

troublesome. Please Open Internet browser > Input 192.168.1.1 in the website blank field > Select DHCP Server under the IP Config Menu. For more information,

please refer to 3.3.2 (Router Mode) or 4.3.1 (AP Mode).

3. Q: How do I upgrade the firmware of GS293d ?

A: Periodically, a new Flash Code is available for GS293d on your product supplier’s

website. Ideally, you should update GS293d ’s Flash Code using Firmware Upgrade on the System Management menu of GS293d Settings.

4. Q: Why is that I can ping to outside hosts, but cannot access Internet websites?

A: Check the DNS server settings on your PC. You should get the DNS servers settings

from your ISP. If your PC is running a DHCP client, remove any DNS IP address

setting. As the router assign the DNS settings to the DHCP-client-enabled PC.

5. Q: GS293d couldn’t save the setting after click on Apply button?

A: GS293d will start to run after the setting finished applying, but the setting isn’t written

into memory. Here we suggest if you want to make sure the setting would be written

into memory, please reboot the device via Reboot under System Management directory.

9.6 Wireless LAN

1. Q: Why couldn’t my wireless notebook work on-line after checking?

A: Generally, Wireless networks can sometimes be very complicated to set up,

particularly if you're dealing with encryption and products from different vendors. Any

number of variables can keep your workstations from talking to each other. Let's go

over some of more common ones.

For starters, verify that your router and your workstation are using the same SSID

descriptions. SSID acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the

wireless network. The SSID also differentiates one WLAN from another, so all

access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the

same SSID. A workstation will not be permitted to connect to the network unless it

can provide this unique identifier. This is similar to the function of your network's

Workgroup or Domain name.

When you're experiencing conductivity problems, it is always best to keep things

simple. So next you are going to do is that, please disable any WEP encryption you

might have configured.

Successful implementation of encryption also includes the use of a shared key. A

HEX key is the most common, but other formats are also used. This key identifies

the workstation to the router as a trusted member of this network. Different

manufacturers can implement this key technology in ways that might prevent them

from working correctly with another vendor's products. So pay attention to detail is

going to be the key to a successful installation.

Next make sure the router and the NIC are configured to use the same

communications channel. There are normally 11 of them, and the default channel

can also vary from vendor to vendor. You might also want to confirm that the router

has DHCP services enabled and an address pool configured. If not, the NIC won't be

able to pick up an IP address. I have run across a few access points that offer DHCP

services but do not assign all of the needed IP information to the NIC. As a result, I

was able to connect to the network, but could not browse the web. The point is, don't

assume anything. Verify for yourself that all of the required settings are being

received by the workstation.

Finally, you might want to keep the system you're trying to configure in the same

room as the router, at least during the initial configuration, in order to minimize

potential interference from concrete walls or steel beams.

2. Q: My PC can’t locate the Wireless Access Point.

A: Check the following:

z Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure

Mode.)

z The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same. Remember

that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example “Workgroup” does NOT match

“workgroup”.

z Both your PC and the Wireless Access Point must have the same setting for

WEP. The default setting for the Wireless Router is disabled, so your wireless

station should also have WEP disabled.

z If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, your PC must have WEP enabled,

and the key must match.

z If the Wireless Router’s Wireless screen is set to Allow LAN access to selected

Wireless Stations only, then each of your Wireless stations must have been

selected, or access will be blocked.

z To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is possible

when close to the Wireless Access Point. Remember that the connection range

can be as little as 100 feet in poor environments.

3. Q: Wireless connection speed is very slow.

A: The wireless system will connect at highest possible speed, depending on the

distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connection speed, you

can experiment with following:

z Access Point location: Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Access

Point.

z Wireless Channel: If interference is the problem, changing to another channel

may show a marked improvement.

z Radio Interference: Other devices may be causing interference. You can

experiment by switching other devices off, and see if this helps. Any “noisy”

devices should be shielded or relocated.

z RF Shielding: Your environment may tend to block transmission between the

wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close

to the Access Point.

4. Q: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router.

http://www.sapido.com.tw/ User Manual v1.0.0

A: The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent.

Use the Special Application feature to allow the use of Internet applications which do

not function correctly. If this does solve the problem, you can use the DMZ function.

This should work with almost every application, but:

z It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.

z Only one (1) PC can use this feature.

5. Q: I can’t connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.

A: Check the following:

z The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is

powered ON.

z Make sure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network

segment.

z If your PC is set to “Obtain an IP Address automatically” (DHCP client), restart it.

z If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, make sure that it is using an IP

Address within the range 192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.253 and thus compatible

with the Wireless Router’s default IP Address of 192.168.1.254. Also, the

Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the Wireless Router. In

Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel ~ Network to

check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.

6. Q: The WinXP wireless interface couldn’t communicate the WEP with GS293d’s wireless interface.

A: The default WEP of WinXP is Authentication Open System - WEP, but the WEP of

GS293d is only for Shared Key - WEP, it caused both sides couldn’t communicate. Please select the WEP of WinXP from Authentication Open System to Pre-shared Key - WEP, and then the WEP wireless interface between WinXP and GS293d

would be communicated.

9.7 Support

1. Q: What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the XDSL Router will support?

A: The Router will support to 253 IP addresses with NAT mode.

5. Q: Is the Router cross-platform compatible?

A: Any platform that supports Ethernet and TCP/IP is compatible with the Router.

http://www.sapido.com.tw/ User Manual v1.0.0

9.8 Others

1. Q: Why does the router dial out for PPPoE mode very often?

A: Normally some of game, music or anti-virus program will send out packets that

trigger the router to dial out, you can close these programs. Or you can set the idle

time to 0, then control to dial out manually.

2. Q: What can I do if there is already a DHCP server in LAN?

A: If there are two DHCP servers existing on the same network, it may cause conflict

and generate trouble. In this situation, we suggest to disable DHCP server in router

and configure your PC manually.

9.9 USB Device

1. Q: How many USB devices can be connected to the Product?

A: GS293d has 2 USB ports.
