S Disable, WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA&WPA2 Mode Tips: WEP is a security protocol that is designed to provide a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a level of security and privacy comparable to that of a wired LAN by encrypting the data that is transmitted. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a fairly new standard for wireless networks and is more secure than WEP. WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) is an enhanced version of WPA. It is the official 802.11i standard that was ratified by the IEEE in June 2004. It uses Advanced Encryption Standard instead of TKIP (see above). AES supports 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit keys. WPA2 supersedes the previous security specification, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WPA in security.

2.11 Virtual Server

Virtual Server
This wireless router is equipped with firewall function, so the computer from WAN is forbidden to have access to the certain servers in LAN. But sometimes, we have to allow some computers from the WAN to have legal access to the servers in LAN. In order to achieve this operation, the Virtual function of the router enables you to do this. The virtual server defines a service port through which the computers from WAN are able to have access to the corresponding servers. Then this function is to bind the service port and the IP address of the server in LAN.
32
Wireless Broadband Router User’s Guide
1. Service Port: The service which the router offers to WAN.
2. IP Address: The IP Address of the computer in the LAN which work as a virtual server.
3. Enable: Please select “Enable” and the rules will go into effect.
4. In “Service Port”, the common port numbers are list here. You could select one of them and then select an ID in “ID” and then press “Insert”, and then the port would be added to the list automatically. For the port numbers which are not displayed here, you could fill it manually. For example, the server in the LAN with IP address of 192.168.0.1 offers WEB service with port number of 80, in order to enable visitors in the Internet to have successful access to this server, you should configure as the figure beside.
Note: If you configure a virtual server (server port: 80), you should configure the remote WEB management in “Wireless Security Configure” as a value different from
port
33
Wireless Broadband Router User’s Guide
80. For example,
8080. Otherwise the confliction would occur and the server would not be able to function. After you configure the value in “Wireless Security Configure”, you should reboot the router to make the settings go into effect.
DMZ Host
In some special situations, a computer needs to expose entirely to WAN in order to realize intercommunication. So, please set this computer as DMZ Host. Please input the computer’s IP address of the computer in LAN which is to be set as DMZ host in “DMZ Host IP Address”. Click “Enable”, and then click “Save”. For example, if you want to set the computer in your LAN with IP address of 192.168.0.10 as a DMZ Host in order to realize its intercommunication with another host computer in the Internet, please set as the figure beside.

Tips: The main duty for router is to look for a best path for every data frame, and transfer this data frame to destination. So, it’s essential for the router to choose the best path, i.e. routing arithmetic. In order to finish this function, many transferring paths, i.e. routing table, are saved in the router, for choosing when needed.
Static Route
Tips: The routing table which is set
by administrator in advance is called static route. Usually, it is set according to network configuration when installing the operation system. It would not be changed according to network structure’s change.
