Chapter 1
Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless ADSL Router's features
and capabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless ADSL Router. The Wireless ADSL
Router is a multi-function device providing the following services:
• ADSL Modem.
• Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users.
• Wireless Access Point for 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations.
• 4-Port Switching Hub for 10BaseT or 100BaseT connections.
Figure 1: Wireless ADSL Router
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 Router, 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.

Wireless ADSL Router User Guide
• Auto-detection of Internet Connection Method. In most situations, the Wireless
ADSL Router can test your ADSL and Internet connection to determine the connection
method used by your ISP.
• Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (ADSL port) connection, the Wireless
ADSL Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection)
and Fixed IP Address.
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.
• Port Triggering. This feature, also called Special Applications, allows you to use
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software
using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.
• Multi-PVC Support. A permanent virtual circuit (PVC) can provide a continuous
connection between two or more points when needed without having to reserve a specific
physical path in advance. In this way, many companies can share a common pool of circuits.
Wireless Features
• Standards Compliant. The Wireless ADSL Router complies with the IEEE802.11g
(DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.
• Supports Pre-N Wireless Stations. The 802.11n Draft standard provides for back-
ward 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.
• 802.1x Support. Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the industrial-
strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization.

Introduction
• 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.
• Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed
quickly and easily.
• 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 entering a 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. Both Point-to-Point and Multi-Point Bridge
modes are supported.
LAN Features
• 4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless ADSL Router incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT
switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
• DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic 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 anywhere 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 Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally)
be configured via the Internet.
• Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless ADSL Router to perform a Ping or
DNS lookup.
Security Features
• Password - protected Configuration. Password protection is provided to prevent
unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
• Wireless LAN Security. WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x and WEP and Wireless access
control by MAC address 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)
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 Wireless ADSL Router.
• 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 Wireless
ADSL Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

Wireless ADSL Router User Guide
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
Router'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 must 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.

Configuring VCs
The Wireless ADSL Router supports multiple VCs (Virtual Circuits) on the ADSL connection.
VC1 must be used for general-purpose Internet access. The other VCs are available for special
purposes, such as Video-on-Demand.
You can only use these VCs if supported by your ISP and ADSL service provider. In that case,
they will provide the necessary configuration data.
Some ISP's allow multiple PPPoE connections. This allows
multiple PCs to connect to the Internet using PPPoE client
software. When using the Wireless ADSL Router, multiple
PPPoE connections are neither necessary nor supported.
To Configure additional VCs
1. Start the Setup Wizard again.

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 Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the Wireless ADSL Router is attached (the same
value as the PCs on that LAN segment).
• 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 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. Enter the desired value for the Lease Time, which
should be between 1 and 7.
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 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 Wireless ADSL 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 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.
• Disable the DHCP Server feature in the Wireless ADSL Router. This setting is on the
LAN screen.
• 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 settings.

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.
Select either UP or DOWN from the list.

Wireless Security
This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure SSID" button on the Wireless screen. There
are 3 options for Wireless security:
• Disabled - no data encryption is used.
• WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
• 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 offers even greater
security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
• Mixed WPA-PSK/WAP2-PSK - This method, sometimes called "Mixed Mode", allows
clients to use EITHER WPA-PSK OR WPA2-PSK.
• WPA-802.1x - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide
the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA standard.
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 WPA standard. Keys are automatically
generated, so no key input is required.
