4.2.3.5 WAN Access Type – Static IP

Choose Static IP Address if all WAN IP information is provided to you by your ISP. You will need to enter the IP address, IP Netmask and IP gateway as provided. Each entered 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. Fill in the DNS information provided by your ISP; otherwise, Domain Name can’t be used.

In particular, here provides 3G or 3.5G transmission rate when the 3.5G adapter is plugged, just check to apply for the backup. In other words, once StaticIP connection is disconnected, the system automatically connects Internet via 3.5G adapter. If 3.5G signal is not available, it starts to search downward for 3/2.75/2.5G signals until none existed. The default interval between the two connection detection is 3 minutes. The interval range is from 1 to 60 minutes.

The 3.5G feature is working as mutual backup for other 3 WAN Types, and the required information is listed as follows, such as user name, password and SIM PIN etc. That is, setting up the interval time to auto detect whether the Internet connection is lost or not. If yes,

Once the tunnel has been established, this kind of DSL modem will forward the PPP session to the ISP. As long as the PPP session is connected, all the local users will be able to share this PPP session to access to the Internet.

Enable Universal Repeater Mode, N+ Mini Router will act as a wireless AP and AP client at the same time, and able to link to another AP.. It uses AP client function to connect to a Root AP (any AP) and uses AP function to service all wireless stations within its coverage. All the stations within the coverage of N+ Mini Router can be bridged to the Root AP. It can help user to extend the coverage of wireless network.

How to Enable URM (Universal Repeater Mode)

User could enable URM in wireless basic setting page as shown in following figures. Step 1. Get back to menu “Network Config” and write down the SSID, channel and

security.

Step 2. Setting the same SSID, channel and security you got form “Network Config”

and Click on Apply Change to save the setting

Note: The DHCP server should be disabled under menu “LAN Interface Setup”and then the URM could be

enabled.

Step 3. Check the AP connectors and the Wireless connecting status.

14. SSID of Extended Interface

When mode is set to “AP”and Universal Repeater Mode is enabled, user should input SSID of another AP (the upper level device) in the field of SSID of Extended Interface.

5.2.2 Wireless Advanced Settings

Please follow the instructions to configure the Wireless settings.

1. Fragment Threshold

To identify the maximum length of packet, the overflow packet length wil be fragmentized. The allowed range is 256-2364, and default length is 2346 bytes.

2. RTS Threshold

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

http://www.sapido.com.tw

User Manual V1.0

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.

3. Beacon Interval

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.

4. Preamble Type

The preamble (also called “a header”) is a section of data at the head of a packet that contains information that wireless devices need when they send and receive packets. Short preambles improve throughput performance, but some wireless devices require long preambles. Select the suitable preamble as short or long preamble.

5. IAPP

Inter Access Point Protocol. Allow seamless roaming between Access Points in your wireless network. Coupled with superior RF performance

6. Protection

Select to enable the wireless protection or not.

7. Aggregation

Data aggregation can reduce the amount of data routed through the network, and increasing throughput.

8. Short GI

Enabling the Short Guard Interval increases the wireless transmission.

9. RF Output Power

User can adjust the RF output power to get the best wireless connection. There are 5 power types available: 100%, 70%, 50%, 35%, and 15%.

5.2.3 Wireless Security Setup

4 encryption types can be selected here, please follow the instructions below for each.

1. Encryption – WEP

Enabling WEP can protect your data from eavesdroppers. If you do not need this feature, select “None” to skip the following setting. N+ Mini Router supports both 64-bit and 128-bit encryption using theWired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm. Select the type of encryption you want to use (64 or 128 bit) and configure one to four WEP Keys. The “1280bit”method is more secure than the “64-bit”.

802.1x Authentication

http://www.sapido.com.tw

User Manual V1.0

Enable 802.1x Authentication so that a wireless node must be authenticated before it can gain access to other LAN resources.

Key Length: For 64bits WEP key, either 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digitals leading by 0x can be entered. For 128bits WEP key, either 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits leading by 0x can be entered.

Note: 128 bits WEP is most secure, but has more encryption/decryption overhead. Note that all wireless devices

must support the same WEP encryption bitsize and have the same key.Four keys can be entered here, but only one key can be selected at a time. The keys can be entered in ASCII or Hexadecimal. Select the item from drop-down list you wish to use.

Encryption Key: At most four keys can be set. A WEP key is either 10 or 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64 bit or 128 bit in the WEP drop-down list.

2. Encryption – WPA(WPA, WPA2 & WPA2 Mixed)

The WPA, WPA2 & WPA2 Mixed encrypt each frame transmitted from the radio using the pre-shared key (PSK) which entered from this panel or a key got dynamically through 802.1x.

WPA Authentication Mode Enterprise (RADIUS): Please input the port, IP address, and password of

authentication RADIUS Server. Personal (Pre-Shared Key): Pre-Shared Key type is coding in ASCII, and the

length is between 8 to 63 characters. If the coding is in Hex, the key length is 64 characters.

5.2.6 WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an easy way to establish a secured wireless network

between N+ Mini Broabband Router and wireless card. Users do not need to manually entering a creative, yet predictable security key on both Wi-Fi devices to prevent unwanted access to their wireless network. With WPS, it can automatically configure a wireless network with a network name (SSID) and strong WPA data encryption and authentication.

WPS can be enabled by 2 methods:

1. PBC (Push button configuration) Method, in which the user simply has to push a button, either an actual or a virtual one, on both WPS devices to connect.

2. PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method, in which a PIN has to be taken either from a sticker label or from the web interface of the WPS device. This PIN will then be entered in the AP or client WPS device to connect.

Please follow instructions below to enable the WPS function.

Start PBC:

Press the WPS button from N+ Mini Broadband Router or click Start PBC from menu “Wi-Fi Protected Setup”, and waiting for the WPS wireless card setting.

5.3 NAT

NAT is a method of mapping one or more IP addresses and/or services ports into different specified services, where NAT stands for Network Address Translation. It allows the internal IP addresses of many computers on a Local Area Network (LAN) to be translated to one public address, saving users’cost. It also plays a security role by obscuring the true IP addresses of important machinesfrom potential hackers on the Internet. For convenience, we called a router having the NAT facility as a NAT-enabled router.

5.3.1 Visual Server

To offer services, like WWW, FTP, provided by a server in your local network accessible for outside users, you should specify a local IP address to the server. Then, add the IP address and network protocol type, port number, and name of the service in the following list. Based on the list, the gateway will forward service request from outside users to the corresponding local server.
