TD-W8960N 300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide

Note:



1) The response message from a DHCP server typically contains a number of configuration

parameters (DHCP options) for the Router. The DHCP options include IP network information, and also the vendor-specific options. In some cases, the Router is implemented to perform user-defined operations (as shown below). You can implement your own treatment of all such options.

2) If the Router is functioning as a DHCP client, it must identify itself in option 61 (client-identifier)

in every DHCP message. DUID/IAID is portion of option 61.

 Option 60 Vendor ID: The option code 60 used to identify Vendor class.

 Option 61 IAID: IAID (Identity Association ID) assigns an Identity Association ID to

individual interfaces. In cases where the device is functioning with a single DHCP client identity, it must use value 1 for IAID for all DHCP interactions. In cases where the device is functioning with multiple DHCP client identities, the values of IAID have to start at 1 for the first identity and be incremented for each subsequent identity. For example, the device may use IAID value 1 for the first physical interface and value 2 for the second. Alternatively, the device may use IAID value 1 for the virtual circuit corresponding to the first connection object in the data model and value 2 for the second connection object in the data model.

 Option 61 DUID: Specifies the name of the interface whose link-layer address the server

is to use as its DUID (DHCP Unique Identifier). You must enter a value for this parameter or the server will not start. When the server starts, the DUID is written to the system log.

 Option 125: The option 125 allows DHCP server to be pre-configured with policy for

handling classes of devices in a certain way without requiring DHCP server to be able to parse the unique format used in client-identifier option.

4.4.8 Quality of Service

Choose “Advanced Setup”“Quality of Service”, you can enable QoS (Quality of Service) on the screen shown in Figure 4-42. QoS helps to prioritize data as it enters your router. By attaching special identification marks or headers to incoming packets, QoS determines which queue the packets enter, based priority. This is useful when there are certain types of data you want to give higher priority, such as voice data packets give higher priority than Web data packets. This option will provide better service of selected network traffic over various technologies.

For rules with different priority, the surplus bandwidth is firstly allocated to the rule with the highest priority according to its max upstream/downstream rate. If there still has surplus bandwidth, it is allocated to the rule with hypo-high priority. For rules with the same priority, the surplus bandwidth is allocated to them according to their min upstream/downstream rate. The greater a rule’s min upstream/downstream rate is, the more bandwidth it gets.

 Fragmentati

is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor reduction of the default value is recommended. In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.

 RTS Threshold: Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of the

default value 2347 is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The 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. This mechanism can provide you a quiet communication channel by notifying other stations not to send packet for a period of time. In most cases, keep its default value of 2347.

 DTIM Interval: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic

Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. The countdown unit is measured by the amounts of beacon frames received. When the Router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1.

on Threshold: This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before data

 Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval value

indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.

 Transmit Power: This option will allow you to configure the wireless transmit power. High

transmit power will extend the wireless signal range of the device and make the signal transmit more legible. Low transmit power with the smaller wireless signal range that will decrease the probability of interrupt by other Wi-Fi device.

 WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia): This function can guarantee the packets with high-priority

messages being transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended.

Choose “Management”“SNMP Agent”, you can see the SNMP-Configuration screen as shown below.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) has been widely applied in the computer networks currently, which is used for ensuring the transmission of the management information between any two nodes. In this way, network administrators can easily search and modify the information on any node on the network. Meanwhile, they can locate faults promptly and implement the fault diagnosis, capacity planning and report generating.

An SNMP Agent is an application running on the Router that performs the operational role of receiving and processing SNMP messages, sending responses to the SNMP manager, and sending traps when an event occurs. So a Router contains SNMP "agent" software can be monitored and/or controlled by SNMP Manager using SNMP messages.

An SNMP Manager or SNMP Service is an application that performs the operational roles of generating SNMP messages/requests to modify and retrieve management information, and
