applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.
• Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your
LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
•
DMZ. One (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way
communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability
to run programs which are incompatible with Firewalls.
• URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.
Internet Access Log. See which Internet connections have been made.
•
VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software
•
using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.
Wireless Features
• Standards Compliant. The LevelOne 22Mbps Wireless AP Router complies with the
IEEE802.11b (DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.
•
WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Both 64 Bit
and 128 Bit keys are supported.
•
Access Control. The Access Control feature can ensure that only trusted Wireless
Stations can access your LAN.
•

Introduction
•
UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and con-
figuration of the LevelOne 22Mbps Wireless AP Router. UPnP is by supported by
Windows ME, XP, or later.
Security Features
• Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to
prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
•
Wireless LAN Security. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is supported, as well as
Wireless access control to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.
•
NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech-
nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and
even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network,
only a single device - the LevelOne 22Mbps Wireless AP Router.
Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom-
•
ing server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from
external sources.
Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your
•
Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The LevelOne
22Mbps Wireless AP Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

DHCP
What DHCP Does
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a
DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request.
• The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).
• The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as
allocating an IP Address.
• The LevelOne 22Mbps Wireless AP Router can act as a DHCP server.
• Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP
client. This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However,
Windows uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatically instead of "DHCP Client".
• You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your
LAN does not have other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on
your LAN.)
Using the LevelOne 22Mbps Wireless AP Router's DHCP Server
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen,
you can:
• Enable or Disable the LevelOne 22Mbps Wireless AP Router's DHCP Server function.
• Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices
while using DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses
are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server.
Using another DHCP Server
You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP
Server, rather than the LevelOne 22Mbps Wireless AP Router's, the following procedure is
required.
1. Disable the DHCP Server feature in the LevelOne 22Mbps Wireless AP Router. This
setting is on the LAN screen.
2. Configure the DHCP Server to provide the LevelOne 22Mbps Wireless AP Router's IP
Address as the Default Gateway.
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP under Windows 95/98/ME.
See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for the procedure to check these settings.

• To communicate, all Wireless stations should use the same
SSID/ESSID.
• Select the Channel you wish to use on your Wireless LAN.
• If you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or
slow data transfers) you may need to experiment with different
channels to see which is the best.
• If using multiple Access Points, adjacent Access Points should use
different Channels to reduce interference.
