Introduction
1
This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless ADSL Modem Router's
features and capabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless ADSL Modem Router. The Wireless
ADSL Modem 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.
•
Wireless ADSL Modem Router Features
The Wireless ADSL Modem 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 Modem 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 Modem Router has a built-in ADSL
•
modem, supporting all common ADSL connections.
1
IPoA, PPPoE, PPPoA, Direct Connection Support. The Wireless ADSL Modem
•
Router supports all common connection methods.
•
Auto-detection of Internet Connection Method. In most situations, the Wireless
ADSL Modem Router can test your ADSL and Internet connection to determine the connection method used by your ISP.
Static or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (ADSL port) connection, the Wireless
•
ADSL Modem Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on
connection) and Static (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. (Please note: auto-detect connection setup in Setup Wizard does not support MultiPCV. If you would like to enable the Multi-PVC feature, please use manual connection
method instead.)
Wireless Features
• Standards Compliant. The Wireless ADSL Modem Router complies with the
IEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.
•
Supports Pre-N Wireless Stations. The 802.11n Draft standard provides for backward
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.
2
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.
•
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-Poin t Bridge
modes are supported.
LAN Features
• 4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless ADSL Modem 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 Modem Router can
act as a DHCP Server for your local LAN and WLAN devices.
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 Modem Router to your computer, and restore (upload) a previouslysaved configuration file to the Wireless ADSL Modem Router.
Remote Management. The Wireless ADSL Modem 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 Modem 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.
3
NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech-
•
nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and
even the existence of each computer is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no
network, only a single device - the Wireless ADSL Modem 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 Modem Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

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 Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the Wireless ADSL Modem Router is attached (the
same value as the PCs on that LAN segment).
• If Enabled, the Wireless ADSL Modem 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 Modem 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.
24
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 Modem 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 Modem 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 Modem 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 Modem Router's, the following procedure is required.
• Disable the DHCP Server feature in the Wireless ADSL Modem Router. This setting is on
the LAN screen.
• Configure the DHCP Server to provide the Wireless ADSL Modem 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.
25
Wireless Screen
The Wireless ADSL Modem Router's settings must match the other Wireless stations.
Note that the Wireless ADSL Modem Router will automatically accept both 802.11b and
802.11g connections, and no configuration is required for this feature.
To change the Wireless ADSL Modem Router's default settings for the Wireless Access Point
feature, use the Wireless link on the main menu to reach the Wireless screen. An example
screen is shown below.

a Guest SSID without encryption for visitors to have Internet access
only, and a Admin SSID with encryption for private use to secure your
company resources.
Select the desired SSID from the list to configure.
This is also called the "Network Name".
• If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access
points) this ID is called an ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier).
• To communicate, all Wireless stations should use the same
SSID/ESSID.
If enabled, the Wireless ADSL Modem Router will broadcast its SSID.
This allows PCs and other wireless stations to detect this Access Point
and use the correct SSID.
If disabled, PC users will have to manually enter the SSID and other
details of the wireless interface before they can connect to this Access
Point.
