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, WPA and WPA2 data encryption protocols are 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) technology 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 DRG600-WiFi.
•
Stateful Inspection Firewall.
All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming 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 DRG600-WiFi incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

The configuration program has been tested on the following browsers:
• Safari version 1.2 or later
• Firefox version 2.0 or later
• Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later
Preparation
Before attempting to configure the DRG600-WiFi, please ensure that:
Your PC can establish a physical connection to the DRG600-WiFi. The PC and the DRG600-WiFi must be directly connected (using the LAN ports on the DRG600-WiFi) or on the same LAN segment.
The DRG600-WiFi must be installed and powered ON.
Using UPnP
If your Windows system supports UPnP, an icon for the DRG600-WiFi will appear in the system tray, notifying you that a new network device has been found, and offering to create a new desktop shortcut to the newly­discovered device.
Unless you intend to change the IP Address of the DRG600-WiFi, you can accept the desktop shortcut.
Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can always find UPnP devices in My Network Places (previously called Network Neighborhood).
Double-click the icon for the DRG600-WiFi (either on the Desktop, or in My Network Places) to start the configuration. Refer to the following section Setup Wizard for details of the initial configuration process.

Page 19 of 104
DRG600WiFi User Guide Setup
4. To connect to the DRG600-WiFi, logon with the user name admin. There is no password by
default. Click OK.
If you cannot connect to the DRG600WiFi setup webpage
If the DRG600-WiFi does not respond, check the following:
• The DRG600-WiFi is properly attached,WLAN/LAN and Power LEDs are ON.
• You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command. To do this:
1. Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
2. Enter the command: ping 192.168.0.1
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your PC IP address is not compatible with the DRG600-WiFi IP Address. (See next item.)
3. 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 DRG600-WiFi default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask must be set to 255.255.255.0. See PC Configuration on page 40 for details on checking your PC TCP/IP settings.
• Ensure that your PC and the DRG600-WiFi are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a router,
this must be the case.)
• Ensure you are using the wired LAN interface.

5. Finally, you can test that your Internet connection is working properly (the test takes about 25
seconds):
If the connection test fails:
• Check your data, the Access LEDs, and all connections.
• Check that you have entered all data correctly.
• Your ISP may have recorded the MAC (physical) address of your PC. Go to Advanced, and on the WAN
Port screen, use the Copy from PC button to copy the MAC address from your PC to the DRG600-WiFi.

Figure 7. LAN Screen
IP address for the DRG600-WiFi, as seen from the local LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN.
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C") networks. For other networks, use the Network Mask for the LAN segment to which the DRG600-WiFi is attached. i.e. the same value as the PCs on that LAN segment.
If Enabled, the DRG600-WiFi 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 DRG600-WiFi as the default Gateway. See the following section for further details.
The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address 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 DRG600-WiFi 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 DRG600WiFi 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 DRG600-WiFi's DHCP Server function.
Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
ou 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 DRG600-WiFi's, the following procedure is required.
1. Disable the DHCP Server feature in the DRG600-WiFi. This setting is on the LAN screen.
2. Configure the DHCP Server to provide the DRG600-WiFi's IP Address as the Default Gateway.
3. Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP under Windows 95/98/ME.

PC Database
The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC). For most users, it eliminates the need to enter IP addresses, and also prevents errors.
However, if you need to configure the Wireless Router BEFORE installation, you must use this functionality.
Known PCs This lists all current entries (PCs or network devices).

Refresh
If adding a new PC to the list, enter its name here. It is best if this matches the PC "hostname".
If adding a new PC to the list, enter the IP Address of the PC here. The PC will be sent a "ping" to determine its hardware address. If the PC is not available (not connected, or not powered On) you will not be able to add it.
Use this button to add the PC to the list. The data for the selected PC will then be shown while it is selected. (Click "Refresh" to reload the current data.)
Use this button to see more details. You will be taken to the PC Database screen where you can edit more properties. See “PC Database screen” on page 29.
Delete the selected PC from the list. This should be done in 2 situations:
• The PC has been removed from your LAN.
• The entry is incorrect.
