4.2.3 Wireless This section introduces the wireless LAN and some basic configurations. Wireless LANs can be as simple as two computers with wireless LAN cards communicating in a peer-to-peer network or as complex as a number of computers with wireless LAN cards communicating through access points which bridge network traffic to the wired LAN. Access Point Settings Access Point: Default setting is set to Activated. If you do not have any wireless, both 802.
802.11b and 802.11n, device in your network, select Deactivated. Channel ID: The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless devices is called a channel. Select a channel from the drop-down list box. Beacon interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to synchronize the wireless network.
wireless is disabled and to allow all wireless computers to communicate with the access points without any data encryption WPS Settings WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) feature is a standard protocol created by Wi-Fi Alliance. This feature greatly simplifies the steps needed to create a Wi-Fi networks for a residential or an office setting. WPS supports 2 types of configuration methods which are commonly known among consumers: PIN Method & PBC Method.
Wi-Fi Network Setup To enable WPS function as follows: 40
PIN Method: Configure AP as Registrar 1. Jot down the client’s Pin (eg. 04640776). 2. Enter the Enrollee PIN code and then press Start WPS.
3. Launch the wireless client’s WPS utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Enrollee, press the WPS button on the top bar, select the AP (eg. 5200NRC) from the WPS AP List column. Then press the PIN button located on the middle left of the page to run the scan.
4. The client’s SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the registrar.
PIN Method: Configure AP as Enrollee 1. Jot down the WPS PIN (eg. 87343540).Press Start WPS.
2. Launch the wireless client’s WPS utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Registrar. Enter the PIN number in the PIN Code column then choose the correct AP (eg. 5200NRC) from the WPS AP List section before pressing the PIN button to run the scan.
3. The router’s (AP’s) SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the registrar. 4. Now to make sure that the setup is correctly done, cross check to see if the SSID and the security setting of the registrar setting match with the parameters found on both Wireless Configuration and Wireless Security Configuration page.
PBC Method: 1. Press the PBC radio button, Then Start WPS. 2. Launch the wireless client’s WPS Utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Enrollee. Then press the WPS button and choose the correct AP (eg. 5200NRC) from the WPS AP List section before pressing the PBC button to run the scan.
3. When the PBC button is pushed, a wireless communication will be established between your router and the PC. The client’s SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the router.
WEP Key 1 to Key 4: Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission, the WEP Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router. There are four keys for your selection. The input format is in HEX style, 5 and 13 HEX codes are required for 64-bitWEP and 128-bitWEP respectively. If you chose WEP 64-bits, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK Encryption: TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or AES (Advanced Encryption System) utilizes a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. Pre-Shared key: The key for network authentication.
4.3 Advanced Setup 4.3.1 Firewall Your router includes a firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN and helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.
4.3.2 Routing If you have another router with a LAN-to-LAN connection, you may create a static routing on the router that is the gateway to Internet. #: Item number Dest IP: IP address of the destination network Mask: The destination mask address. Gateway IP: IP address of the gateway or existing interface that this route uses. Metric: It represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15.
ADD Route Destination IP Address：This is the destination subnet IP address. IP Subnet Mask：A subnet mask allows IP networks to be subdivided for security and performance purposes. Gateway IP Address：This is the gateway IP address to which packets are to be forwarded. Metric：It represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15.
4.3.3 NAT The NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet. The default setting is Dynamic NAT. It provides dynamic Network Address Translation capability between LAN and multiple WAN connections, and the LAN traffic is routed to appropriate WAN connections based on the destination IP addresses and Route Table. This eliminates the need for the static NAT session configuration between multiple LAN clients and multiple WAN connections.
DMZ 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, when a packet received does not use a port number used by any other Virtual Server entries. DMZ setting for: indicate the related LAN PC and PVC ports which allow outside network to connect in and communicate. DMZ: ~ Disabled: As set in default setting, it disables the DMZ function.
Virtual Server In TCP/IP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can locate them. If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e.
Rule Index: Choose the rule number. Application: Choose the predefined rule from Application drop-down menu or enter a custom name. Protocol: Choose the Protocol Type, ALL, TCP or UDP. Start Port Number: Enter a port number as the beginning number of the range which you want to give to devices to access in this field. End Port Number: Enter a port number as the end number of the range which you want to give to devices to access in this field. Local IP Address: Enter your server IP address in this field.
ALG Switch In the context of computer networking, an application-level gateway (also known as ALG or application layer gateway) consists of a security component that augments a firewall or NAT employed in a computer network. It allows customized NAT traversal filters to be plugged into the gateway to support address and port translation for certain application layer "control/data" protocols such as FTP, BitTorrent, SIP, RTSP, file transfer in IM applications etc.
IP Address Mapping Address Mapping Rule: Shows the PVC where the rule will be applied to Rule Index: Choose the rule number. Rule Type: ~ One-to-one: This is the mode maps one local IP address to one global IP address. Note that port numbers do not change for the One-to-one NAT mapping type. ~ Many-to-One: This is the mode maps multiple local IP addresses to one global IP address. This is equivalent to Many to One (i.e., PAT, port address translation).
local IP addresses, then enter 0.0.0.0 as the Local Start IP address and 255.255.255.255 as the Local End IP address. This field is N/A for One-to-one and Server mapping types. Public Start IP: This is the start range for Inside Public IP Address. Enter 0.0.0.0 here if you have a dynamic IP address from your ISP. Public End IP: This is the end range for Inside Public IP Address. This field is N/A for One-to-one, Many-to-One and Server mapping types.
4.3.4 QoS Quality of Service (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 on priority. This is useful when there are certain types of data you want to give higher priority to, such as voice data packets given higher priority than Web data packets. The main goal of QoS is prioritizing incoming data, preventing data loss due to factors such as jitter, delay and dropping.
Rule You can set 16 different QoS rules. Each QoS rule has its detail setting conditions like: 802.1p application, DSCP, IP, MAC, Protocol, TOS, VLAN etc, you can modify the default value to any new one you wish. Please notice that only when the packet fulfill every detail setting conditions here, then this packet will be remarked as the priority queue of each rule. The non-selected setting part will be treated as “don’t care” and the system will not handle this setting part.
add header for this packet even the detail setting condition has adding 802.1p priority ability. Rule Index: Select 16 different rules, each rule’s detail can be set and saved. Active: Select QoS is activated or deactivated. Application: Select 11 different applications: IGMP, SIP, H.323, MGCP, SNMP, DNS, DHCP, RIP, RSTP, RTCP, RTP. Physical Ports: this function is to allow you to decide which physical port you want to configure ,before you begin to config, please make sure QoS is activated.
IP Precedence Range: Select the IP precedence range. Type of Service: Select 5 different type of service. DSCP Range: Set the DSCP value that you want to filter. 802.1p: Set the remarked new 802.1p priority value on the packet that fulfill every detail setting condition of each rule. Action After finishing all rules detail condition setting, select the rule you want to execute and action here. IPP/DS Field: Select IP QoS format. IP Precedence Remarking: Select the remarking value of IP precedence.
4.3.5 ADSL ADSL Mode: The default setting is Auto Sync-Up. This mode will automatically detect your ADSL, ADSL2+, ADSL2, G.DMT, G.lite, and T1.413. But in some area, multimode cannot detect the ADSL line code well. If it is the case, please adjust the ADSL line code to G.DMT or T1.413 first. If it still fails, please try the other values such as ALCTL, ADI, etc.
4.4 Access Management 4.4.1 ACL Access Control Listing allows you to determine which services/protocols can access BiPAC 5200N RC Series interface from which computers. ACL Rule Index: This is item number Secure IP Address: The default 0.0.0.0 allows any client to use this service to remotely manage the BiPAC 5200N RC Series. Type an IP address to restrict access to a client with a matching IP address. Application: Choose a service that you may use to remotely manage the BiPAC 5200N RC Series.
4.4.2 Filter You can filter the packages by IP port, MAC and Application. Filter Type Filter Type Selection: There are three types “IP/MAC Filter”, “Application Filter”, and “URL Filter” that user can select for this connection. IP/MAC Filter Set Editing IP/MAC Filter Set Index: This is item number Interface: Select which channel (PVC) to configure. Direction: Select the access to the Internet (“Outgoing”) or from the Internet (“Incoming”).or Both.
IP/MAC Filter Rule Editing IP/MAC Filter Rule Index: This is item number Rule Type: Choose “IP” or “MAC” rules Active: Select Yes from the drop down list box to enable IP filter rule. Source IP Address: The source IP address or range of packets to be monitored. Subnet Mask: It is the source IP addresses based on above source subnet IP Source Port Number: This Port or Port Ranges defines the port allowed to be used by the Remote/WAN to connect to the application. Default is set from range 0 ~ 65535.

URL Filter Active: Select Yes to enable URL Filter. URL Index: This is item number. URL: Allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites by their URL.
4.4.3 SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. BiPAC 5200N RC Series supports SNMP agent functionality which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the router through the network. Get Community: Type the Get Community, which is the password for the incoming Get-and GetNext requests from the management station.
4.4.4 UPnP UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.
4.4.5 DDNS The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP.
4.5 Maintenance 4.5.1 Administrator In factory setting, the default password is admin, and that for user is also password. You can change the default password to ensure that someone cannot adjust your settings without your permission. Every time you change your password, please record the password and keep it at a safe place. New Password: Type the new password in this field Confirm Password: Type the new password again in this field.
4.5.2 Time Zone The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the drop-down list, simply enter its IP address as shown above.
4.5.3 Firmware Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software it runs. Over time this software may be improved and modified, and your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes. To upgrade the firmware of BiPAC 5200N RC Series, you should download or copy the firmware to your local environment first.
