Chapter 1
Introduction
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
Page 5
2
•
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 an d
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.
Page 6
3
•
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-Point 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.

•
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.

LAN Screen
Use the LAN link on the main menu to reach the LAN screen. An example screen is shown
below.
LAN Screen
TCP/IP
IP Address
IP address for the Wireless ADSL Modem Router, as seen from the
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.
Subnet Mask
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).
DHCP Server
• 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.
Page 28
25
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.
Page 29

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.

Select the correct domain for your location. It is your responsibility to
ensure:
• That the Wireless ADSL Modem Router is only used in domains
for which is licensed.
• That you select the correct domain, so that only the legal channels
for that domain can be selected.
Page 30
27
Multi SSID
SSID
With Multiple SSIDs, you can have 2 SSIDs on one AP. For example,
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.
SSID 1/SSID 2
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.
Broadcast SSID
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.

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 securi-
ty, 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 required.
• All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically
generated, so no key input is required.

Computer Configuration
This Chapter details the Computer Configuration required on the local ("Internal") LAN.
Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
• TCP/IP network settings
• Internet Access configuration
• Wireless configuration
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Wireless
ADSL Modem Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The Wireless ADSL Modem Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is
essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default Wireless ADSL Modem Router setting, and the default
Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
• By default, the Wireless ADSL Modem Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically
providing a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.
• For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP
client.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are required:
• The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Wireless ADSL Modem Router
• The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must reconfigure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 6 - Ad-
vanced Administrator for details.

Advanced Features
This Chapter explains when and how to use the Wireless ADSL Modem Router's "Advanced" Features.
Overview
The following advanced features are provided:
• Internet:
• DMZ
• URL filter
• Access Control
• Dynamic DNS
• Options
• Schedule
• Port Trigger
• Port Foward
• Port Range Forward
• QoS
Internet
This screen provides access to the DMZ, Special Applications and URL Filter features.
DMZ
This feature, if enabled, allows the DMZ computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on
the Internet.
• This allows almost any application to be used on the "DMZ PC".
• The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data.
5
Page 73
70
• If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must select the PC to be used as the "DMZ PC".
The "DMZ PC" is effectively outside the Firewall, making it more vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, you
should only enable the DMZ feature when required.
URL Filter
If you want to limit access on certain sites on the Internet, you can use this feature. The URL
filter will check each Web site access. If the address, or part of the address, is included in the
block site list, access will be denied.
On the Advanced Internet screen, select the desired setting:
• Disable - disable URL filter feature.
• Block Always - allow blocking all of the time, independent of the Schedule page.
• Block By Schedule - block according to the settings on the Schedule page.
Click the Configure URL Filter button to open the URL Filter screen, allowing you to create
or modify the filter strings which determine which sites will be blocked.
The URL Filter screen is displayed when the Configure URL Filter button on the Advanced
Internet screen is clicked. Enter the word or domain name that you would like to be blocked,
then click the Add button. To delete a word or domain name, select the string then click the
Delete button. To remove all URL filter on the list, click Delete All button.
Page 74
71
The unauthorized access to the block URL will display the following message.

Page 76
73
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)
This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows
Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your
IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you.
DDNS Services work as follows:
1. You must register for the service at one of the listed DDNS Service providers.
2. After registration, use the Service provider's normal procedure to obtain your desired
Domain name.
3. Enter your DDNS data on the Wireless ADSL Modem Router's DDNS screen, and enable
the DDNS feature.
4. The Wireless ADSL Modem Router will then automatically ensure that your current IP
Address is recorded at the DDNS service provider's Domain Name Server.
5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC)
using your Domain name, as shown on this screen.
Dynamic DNS Screen
Select Advanced on the main menu, then Dynamic DNS, to see a screen like the following:

PC Database
The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC).
• It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses.
• Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your LAN.
However, if you do use a fixed IP address on some devices on your LAN, you should enter
details of each such device into the PC database, using the PC Database screen.
PC Database Screen
An example PC Database screen is shown below.
• PCs which are "DHCP Clients" are automatically added to the database, and updated as
required.
• The Wireless ADSL Modem Router uses the "Hardware Address" to identify each PC, not
the name or IP address. The "Hardware Address" can only change if you change the PC's
network card or adapter.
PC Database Screen
Known PCs
This lists all current entries. Data displayed is name (IP Address) type.
The "type" indicates whether the PC is connected to the LAN.
Name
If adding a new PC to the list, enter its name here. It is best if this
matches the PC's "hostname".
IP Address
Enter the IP Address of the PC. The PC will be sent a "ping" to determine its hardware address. If the PC is not available (not connected, or
not powered On) you will not be able to add it.

To connect from a remote PC via the Internet
1. Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser.
2. In the "Address" bar, enter "HTTP://" followed by the Internet IP Address of the W ireless
ADSL Modem Router. If the port number is not 80, the port number is also required. (After the IP Address, enter ":" followed by the port number.)
e.g.
HTTP://123.123.123.123:8080
This example assumes the WAN IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and the port number is
8080.
3. You will then be prompted for the login name and password for this device.

Routing
Overview
• If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing"
page completely.
• If the Wireless ADSL Modem Router is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN
segment, ignore the "Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers.
• If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the Wireless ADSL
Modem Router is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.
• If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN seg-
ments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure
the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.)
• If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the Wire-
less ADSL Modem Router, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are correct:
• Open Routing and Remote Access
• In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access, [server name], IP Routing, RIP
• In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version 2,
and then click "Properties".
• On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and
Incoming packet protocol to "RIP version 1 and 2".
Routing Screen
The routing table is accessed by the Routing link on the Administration menu.
Using this Screen
Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the Static Routin g Tab le,
as explained above, although is it possible to use both methods simultaneously.
Static Routing Table
• If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your
Network, other than the segment to which this device is attached.
• The other Routers must also be configured. See Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
later in this chapter for further details and an example.

Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the Wireless
ADSL Modem Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet.
To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the Wireless ADSL Modem Router
as the Default Route or Default Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Wireless ADSL
Modem Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the Wireless ADSL Modem
Router itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be confi-
gured as follows.

Other routers on the local LAN must use the Wireless ADSL Modem Router's Local Router as
the Default Route. The entries will be the same as the Wireless ADSL Modem Router's local
router, with the exception of the Gateway IP Address.
• For a router with a direct connection to the Wireless ADSL Modem Router's local Router,
the Gateway IP Address is the address of the Wireless ADSL Modem Router's local router.
• For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the Wireless
ADSL Modem Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermediate router.
