Wireless ADSL Router Features
The Wireless ADSL Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to
provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
• Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet
through the Wireless ADSL Route r, using only a single external IP Address. The local
(invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT
(Network Address Translation).
Built-in ADSL Modem. The Wireless ADSL Router has a built-in ADSL modem ,
•
supporting all common ADSL connections.
IPoA, PPPoE, PPPoA, Direct Connection Support. The Wireless ADSL Router
•
supports all common connection methods.

Introduction
•
Auto-detection of Internet Connection Method. In most situations, Tthe Wireless
ADSL Router can test your ADSL and Internet connection to determine the c onnection
method used by your ISP.
function in the CO side.
• Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (ADSL port) connection, the Wireless
ADSL Router supports both Dynam ic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection)
and Fixed IP Address.
This will require ISP or network service provider to enable F5
Advanced Internet Functions
• Application Level Gateways (ALGs). Applications which use non-standard connec-
tions or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and
allow such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.
•
Dynamic DNS Support. DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature, allows
users to connect to Servers on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if you have a dynamic IP address which changes every time you connect.
•
URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.
•
Access Control. Using the Access Control feature, you can assign LAN users to differ-
ent groups, and determine which Internet services are available to each group.
Firewall. As well as the built-in firewall to protect your LAN, you can define Firewall
•
Rules to determine which incoming and outgoing traffic should be permitted.
Scheduling. Both the URL Filter and Firewall rules can be scheduled to operate only at
•
certain times. This provides great flexibility in controlling Internet -bound traffic.
Logs. Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send log data to a Syslog
•
Server. Log data can also be E-mailed to you.
Port Triggering. This feature, also called Special Applications, allows you to us e
•
Internet applications which normally do not function when used behind a firewall.
Port Forwarding. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your
•
LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
QoS Support Quality of Service can be used to handle packets so that more important
•
connections receive priority over less important one.
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 Wireless ADSL Router complies with the IEEE802.11g
(DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.
Compatible with 11n Wireless Stations (AD1003). The 802.11n Draft standard
•
provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11b and
802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.
WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of
•
64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before transmission, providing
protection against snoopers.
WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmission,
•
providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than WEP, and
provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP.
WPA2-PSK support. Support for WPA2 is also included. WPA2 uses the extremely
•
secure AES encryption method.

Page 8
Wireless ADSL Router User Guide
•
802.1x Support. Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the industrial-
strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization.
Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature can check the
•
MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only trusted Wireless
Stations can access your LAN.
WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup ) can simplify the process of connecting any
•
device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the Wireless Access Point, or ent ering PIN code if there's no button.
• WDS Support. Support for WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows the Wireless
Access Point to act as a Wireless Bridge. Bot h Po in t- to-Point and Multi-Point Bridge
modes are supported.
Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed
•
quickly and easily.
LAN Features
• 1-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless ADSL Router incorporates a 1-port 10/100BaseT
switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynam i c IP
•
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless ADSL Router can act as a
DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
Configuration & Management
• Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhe re on the LAN or WLAN for configu-
ration.
Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from
•
the Wireless ADSL Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration file to the Wireless ADSL Router.
•
Remote Management. The Wireless ADSL Router can be managed from any PC on
your LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if the Interne t connection exists, it can also (optionally)
be configured via the Internet.
Security Features
• Password - protected Configuration. Password protection is provided to prevent
unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
Wireless LAN Security. WPA-PSK, WEP and Wireless access control by MAC ad-
•
dress are all supported. The MAC-level access control feature can be used 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 Wire less ADSL Router.
Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are
•
filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from exte rnal sources.
Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can fl ood your
•
Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless
ADSL Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

Configuration Program
The Wireless ADSL Router contains an HTTP server. This enables you to connect to it, and
configure it, using your Web Browser. Your Browser must support JavaScript.
The configuration program has been tested on the following browsers:
• Netscape 7.1 or later.
• Mozilla 1.6 or later
• Internet Explorer V5.5 or later
Preparation
Before attempting to configure the Wir eles s ADS L Rou ter , pl ease ensure that:
• Your PC can establish a physical connection to the Wireless ADSL Router. The PC and
the Wireless ADSL Router must be directly connected (using the Hub ports on the Wireless ADSL Router) or on the same LAN segment.
• The Wireless ADSL Router must be installed and powered ON.
• If the Wireless ADSL Router's default IP Address (192.168.0.1) is already used by anot h-
er device, the other device must be turned OFF until the W ir eles s ADS L Rout er is
allocated a new IP Address during configuration.
Using your Web Browser
To establish a connection from your PC to the Wireless ADSL Router:
1. After installing the Wireless ADSL Router in your LAN, start your PC. If your PC is
already running, restart it.
2. Start your WEB browser.
3. In the Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the IP Address of the Wireless ADSL Router, as
in this example, which uses the Wireless ADSL Router's default IP Address:
HTTP://192.168.0.1
4. When prompted for the User name and Password, enter values as follows:
• User name admin
• Password password
12
Page 17
Setup
If you can't connect
If the Wireless ADSL Router does not respond, check the following:
• The Wireless ADSL Router is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and
it is powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command:
• Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
• Enter the command:
ping 192.168.0.1
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your
PC's IP address is not compatible with the Wireless ADSL Router's IP
Address. (See next item.)
• If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range
192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 to be compatible with the Wireless ADSL Rou-
ter's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask must be set to
255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on checking your
PC's TCP/IP settings.
• Ensure that your PC and the Wireless ADSL Router are on the same network
segment. (If you don't have a router, this m ust be the case.)
• Ensure you are using the wired LAN interface. The Wireless interface can only
be used if its configuration matches your PC's wireless settings.

DHCP Server
• If Enabled, the Wireless ADSL Router will allocate IP Addresses
to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (and recommended) value is Enabled.
• If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the Wireless ADSL Router as the default Gateway. See the
following section for further details.
• The Start IP Address, Finish IP Address and Lease Time fields
set the values used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the number of
DHCP clients supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
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 Wireless ADSL 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 automatica lly 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 Wireless ADSL Router's DHCP Server
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server setti ng s are on the LAN screen. On this screen,
you can:
• Enable or Disable the Wireless ADSL 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 Wireless ADSL Router's, the following procedure is required.
1.
• Disable the DHCP Server feature in the Wireless ADSL Router. This setting is on the
LAN screen.

2.
• Configure the DHCP Server to provide the Wireless ADSL Router's IP Address as the
Default Gateway.
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP for all non-Server versions of Windows.
See Chapter 4 - Client Configuration for the procedure to check these settin g s.

Select the desired SSID from the list to configure.
This is also called the "Network Name".
• If using an ESS (Extende d Service Set, with multiple access
points) this ID is called an ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier).
• To communicate, all Wireless stations should use the same
SSID/ESSID.
If enabled, the Wireless ADSL Router will broadcast its SSID. This
allows PCs and other wireless stations to detect this Access Point and
use the correct SSID.
If disabled, PC users will have to manually enter the SSID and other

Wireless Security
This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure SSID" button on the Wireless screen. There
are 6 options for Wireless security:
• Disabled - no data encryption is used.
• WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP st andard.
• WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than
WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support
WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.
• WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and o ffers even greater securi-
ty, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
• WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK - This method, sometimes called "Mixed Mode", allows
clients to use EITHER WPA-PSK OR WPA2-PSK.
• 802.1x - This uses the 802.1x standard for client authentication, and WEP for data encryp-
tion.
If this option is selected:
• This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when re-
quired.
All data transmission is encrypted using the WEP standard. You only have to select
•
the WEP key size; the WEP key is automatically generated.

Both the ADSL Modem and the Router features are operational. In this
mode, this device can provide shared Internet Access to all your LAN users.
Also, by default, it acts a DHCP Server, providing an IP address and related
information to all Wireless and LAN users.
Only the ADSL Modem component is operational.
• All Router features are disabled. This device is "transparent" - it does
not perform any operations or make any changes to the network traffic
passing through it.
• You need to have a DHCP Server on your LAN to provide IP addresses
to the Wireless clients using this Access Point.
• All traffic received on either the Wireless or LAN interface will be sent
over the ADSL connection.
Notes:
• Generally, you should NOT use modem mode. Only select this mode if you are sure this is
what you want.
• After changing the mode, this device will restart, which will take a few seconds. The
menu will also be changed, depending on the mode you are in.
• The Wireless Access Point can function in either Router or Modem mode. But generally it
is not a good idea to combine a Modem with an Access Point, because all data received
from the wireless stations will be sent over the modem connection. (Since the modem is
transparent, it does not examine the traffic to determine whether the traffic is for the LAN
or the WAN.)
• For details on using Modem Mode, see Chapter 8.

Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
• TCP/IP network settings
• Internet Access configura tion
• Wireless configuration
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Wireless
ADSL Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The Wireless ADSL Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essen-
tial that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default Wireless ADSL Router settings, and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
• By default, the Wireless ADSL Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing
a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.
• For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP
client.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are required:
• The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Wireless ADSL Router
• The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must reconfigure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 - Ad-
vanced Setup for details.

DMZ
This feature, if enabled, allows the DMZ computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on
the Internet.
• This allows almost any application to be used on the "DMZ PC".
• The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data.
• If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must enter the IP address of the PC to be used as the
"DMZ PC".
The "DMZ PC" is effectively outside the Firewall, making it more vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, you
should only enable the DMZ feature when required.

URL Filter
If you want to limit access to certain sites on the Internet, you can use this feature. The URL
filter will check each Web site access. If the address, or part of the address, is inclu de d in the
block site list, access will be denied.
On the Advanced Internet screen, select the desired setting:
• Disable
• Block Always - allow blocking all of the time, independent of the Schedule page.
• Block By Schedule - block according to the settings on the Schedule page.
Click the Configure URL Filter button to open the URL Filter screen, allowing you to create
or modify the filter strings which determine which sites will be blocked.

Access Control
This feature is accessed by the Access Control link on the Advanced menu.
Overview
The Access Control feature allows administrators to restrict the level of Internet Access available to PCs on your LAN. With the default settings, everyone has unrestricted Internet access.
Restrictions are imposed by blocking "Services", or types of
connections. All common Services are pre-defined.
If required, you can also define your own Services.

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)
This free service is very useful when combined with the Virt ua l Server feature. It allows
Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your
IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you.
DDNS Services work as follows:
1. You must register for the service at one of the listed DDNS Service providers.
2. After registration, use the Service provider's normal procedure to obtain your desired
Domain name.
3. Enter your DDNS data on the Wireless ADSL Router's DDNS screen, and enable the
DDNS feature.
4. The Wireless ADSL Router will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is
recorded at the DDNS service provider's Domain Name S erver.
5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC)
using your Domain name, a s shown on this screen.

The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC).
• It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses.
• Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your LAN.
However, if you do use a fixed IP address on some devices on your LAN, you should enter
details of each such device into the PC database, using the PC Database screen.
PC Database Screen
An example PC Database screen is shown below.
Figure 61: PC Database
• PCs which are "DHCP Clients" are automatically added to the database, and updated as
required.
• By default, non-Server versions of Windows act as "DHCP Clients"; this setting is called
"Obtain an IP Address automatically".
• The Wireless ADSL Router uses the "Hardware Address" to identify each PC, not the
name or IP address. The "Hardware Address" can only change if you change the PC's
network card or adapter.
