Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the WLM-6501 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem. This modem is fully compliant with 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n. This modem provides the best performance when used in combination with 802.11n client adapters.

The WLM-6501 is not only a Modem or Wireless Access Point, but can also be used to connect wired Ethernet devices at 10/100/1000Mbit speeds.

For data protection and privacy, the WLM-6501 can encode all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA or WPA2 encryption. By default, the modem is secured with a WPA2 (AES) encryption key. (The WPA2-key is printed on the label underneath the modem.)

With a built-in DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall the WLM-6501 protects your computers against intruders and known Internet attacks, and also provides safe VPN pass-through.

With Sitecom Cloud Security, Sitecom goes one step further and ensures that you can surf the Internet even more safely, not only on your PC, but on all the devices in your home which you use to access the Internet. It does not matter whether you surf the Internet on a laptop, a tablet, a mobile telephone or your television. Thanks to the security that is integrated in the router, all the Internet devices in your home are protected against the dangers of Internet criminality.

Security Settings

This router provides complete wireless LAN security functions, include WEP, IEEE

802.1x, IEEE 802.1x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA with RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use the same security function.

Parameter Description

WEP –WEP is less level of security than WPA. WEP supports 64-bit and 128-bit key lengths to encrypt the wireless data.

WPA(TKIP) – WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data encryption. TKIP utilized a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. WPA2(AES) – WPA2, also known as 802.11i, uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption. AES utilized a symmetric 128-bit block data encryption.

WPA Mixed – The router supports WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES) for data encryption. The actual selection of the encryption methods will depend on the clients.

Use 802.1x Authentication

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this wireless router before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. Check this box to authenticates user by

WPA Authentication Mode

Pre-Shared Key Format

Pre-Shared Key Please enter 8-63 characters as the “Pre-Shared Key”.

There are two types of authentication mode for WPA. Enterprise (RADIUS) – It uses an external RADIUS server to perform user authentication. To use RADIUS, enter the IP address of the RADIUS server, the RADIUS port (default is

1812) and the shared secret from the RADIUS server. Please refer to “Authentication RADIUS Server” setting below for RADIUS setting.

Personal (Pre-Shared Key) – Pre-Shared Key authentication is based on a shared secret that is known only by the parties involved. To use WPA Pre-Shared Key, select key format and enter a password in the “Pre-Shared Key Format” and “Pre-Shared Key” setting respectively. You may select to select Passphrase (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) to be the Pre-shared Key.

Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset “RTS threshold” size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The wireless 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 responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.

DTIM Broadcast SSID If this option is enabled, the router will automatically

transmit the network name (SSID) into open air at regular interval. This feature is intended to allow clients to dynamically discover the router. If this option is disabled, the router will hide its SSID. When this is done, the clients cannot directly discover the router and MUST be configure with the SSID for accessing to the router. It is used to protect your network from being accessed easily.

When you finish, click ‘save’ to save the settings made and restart the router so the settings will take effect after it reboots.

QoS

QoS allows you to classify Internet application traffic by source/destination IP address and port number. You can assign priority for each type of application and reserve bandwidth for it. The packets of applications with higher priority will always go first. Lower priority applications will get bandwidth after higher priority applications get enough bandwidth. This can let you have a better experience in using critical real time services like Internet phone, video conference …etc. All the applications not specified by you are classified as rule name “Others”. The rule with a smaller priority number has a higher priority; the rule with a larger priority number has a lower priority. You can adjust the priority of the rules by moving them up or down.

functionality for the WAN port.

Firewall.

TR-69

As a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP-based protocol, it provides the communication between customer-premises equipment (CPE) and Auto Configuration Servers (ACS). It includes both a safe auto configuration and the control of other CPE management functions within an integrated framework. In the course of the boom of the broadband market, the number of different Internet access possibilities grew as well (e.g. modems, routers, gateways, set-top box, VoIPphones). At the same time the configuration of this equipment became more complicated -- too complicated for the end-users. For this reason the TR-069 standard was developed. It provides the possibility of auto configuration of these access types. The technical specifications are managed and published by the Broadband Forum. Using TR-069, the terminals can get in contact with the Auto Configuration Servers (ACS) and establish the configuration automatically. Accordingly other service functions can be provided. TR-069 is the current standard for activation of terminals in the range of DSL broadband market.

The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP Address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets will be checked by the firewall and NAT algorithms then passed to the DMZ Host.

For example, if you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from behind the NAT firewall, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host.

Enable DMZ and enter the IP address for which you want unrestricted access to the internet in the DMZ Host IP address. Click Apply to save and apply the settings.

Use the Virtual Server function when you want different servers/clients in

your LAN to handle different service/Internet application type (e.g. Email,

numbers to recognize a particular service/Internet application type. The

Virtual Server allows you to re-direct a particular service port number (from

the Internet/WAN Port) to a particular LAN private IP address and its service

port number.

Local IP This is the LAN client/host IP address that the Public Port number

packet will be sent to.
