• After connecting the power cord and the power source is turned on, the Router’s power icon on the front panel should be on. It might take a few minutes for the Router to fully start up. • Turn on your computer. After your computer boots up, the LAN status LED on the front of the Router will be on for each port to which a wired computer is connected. These lights show you the connection and activity status. Now you are ready to configure the Router for ADSL connection.
4 Accessing the User Interface 1. You can access the web-based management user interface of the Router using the Internet browser on a computer connected to the Router. Type “http://192.168.11.1” in your browser’s address bar. Then press the “Enter” key. Note: It is strongly recommended that you use a computer physically connected to the Router with an RJ45 cable for initial setup. Using a wirelessly connected computer for initial setup is not recommended. 2.
Understanding the Web-Based User Interface 5 Quick-Navigation Tabs - You can go directly to any of the Router’s UI pages by clicking directly on these links. The links are divided into logical categories and grouped by tabs to make finding a particular setting easier to find. Help is available to the right of each page. Setup The panel to the left of this page contains setup wizards to allow you to quickly and conveniently make changes to your modem router configuration.
function correctly. • Wireless Multicast Rate - This Wizard sets the Wireless Multicast Rate and IPv6 Pass Through. • Firmware Update – This wizard installs an AirStation Firmware update. • Initialisation - This Wizard restores the AirStation to factory default settings. An overview of your AirStation’s system information is displayed on the right. The wireless section displays the status and encryption settings of your wireless LAN access point.
Connection Type From the “Connection Type” drop down box, you can select one of these five connection types based on the instruction provided by your ISP: • RFC 2516 PPPoE • RFC 2364 PPPoA • 1483 Bridged • 1483 Routed • Bridge Mode Only Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE or PPPoA PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is the standard method of connecting networked devices. It requires a user name and password to access the network of your ISP for connecting to the Internet.
DDNS If your Modem Router’s Internet IP address is assigned dynamically and you wish to host a Web site or other Internet service, you can sign up with DynDNS.org or TZO.com for Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service. Select your DDNS provider from this list box, enter the required information, and click “Apply”. The gateway will send its Internet IP address to the provider so the provider can update your DNS entry. For DDNS.org service, you must enter a user name, password, and host name. For TZO.
local IP address. NAT is enabled (turned on) by default. Disable it if you do not need it. Wireless Config For information on configuring a connection with WPS or AOSS, please refer to the earlier sections of the manual which describe how to use these methods to establish a wireless connection. Basic The “Basic” tab lets you make changes to the wireless network settings - wireless network name (SSID), radio, operating channel and security level.
150Mbps Mode Band Width You can select whether to use 20MHz or 40MHz modes for wireless communication. The 20-MHz channel bandwidth lessens the chance of interference with other wireless networks. However, the wide 40-MHz channel bandwidth increases throughput up to 150Mbps. The default setting is 20MHz. Extension Channel When 40MHz has been selected under Band Width, two channels are used - a Control Channel and an Extension Channel.
SSID2 Wireless encryption WPA-PSK-AES is used for Multi Security SSID2. SSID3 Wireless encryption WEP is used for Multi Security SSID3. Advanced Wireless Settings BSS BasicRateSet BSS (Basic Service Set) configures the transmission rate of communication for wireless clients. Setup choices may vary with different wireless clients. Multicast Rate You can select 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54Mbps or Auto. Default Value is “Auto”.
Privacy Separator Choose whether Privacy Separator function is enabled or disabled. When Privacy Separator is enabled, each wireless LAN device connecting to the AirStation cannot communicate with other local wireless devices. However, communication with Internet side is still available. Output Power Output Power and the range of the associated electromagnetic waves are almost proportional. If the Output Power is cut to 50%, the AirStation’s range will be shortened by about half.
MAC Filter The MAC Filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which computers are allowed on the network. Wireless connections to the AirStation can be limited to specific client MAC addresses to enhance security against unwanted network visitors. When enabled, only wireless client adapters with registered MAC addresses will be allowed to connect to the AirStation. Note: The wireless MAC filter is ignored while AOSS is in use. Check “Enable” to use MAC filtering.
Limits the type of packets allowed to pass between the Internet and LAN. When packets reach the AirStation, the firewall evaluates the packets, and forwards packets that don’t match any filter to their destination. The Firewall blocks unnecessary packets from the Internet side and prevents leaking secure information from the LAN side. Prohibit NBT and Microsoft-DS routing Prevents unexpected external access via Microsoft network sharing. The default setting is disabled.
Limits the type of packets allowed to pass between the Internet and LAN. The maximum number of rules is 32. If the packet meets one of the monitoring conditions before it is routed, the specified action will be taken. If multiple conditions are met, the appropriate action will be performed once the packet meets the condition. VPN Pass Through PPPoE Pass Through This setting enables an rfc1483 bridge mode in the modem so the PPPoE process occurs in the connected device, eg a firewall router or PC.
Port Forwarding allows you to route external (Internet) calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other applications, through your Router to your internal network. Since your internal computers are protected by a firewall, machines from the Internet cannot get to them because they cannot be ‘seen’. If you need to configure the port forwarding function for a specific application, you will need to contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need.
QoS Quality of Service (QoS) assigns priority levels to different kinds of packets to minimize delays in the transfer of data. The table lists four common applications and lets you enter the port numbers for up to four more. Click the High Priority button for the application(s) whose packets you wish to receive preferential treatment. Admin Config Name This can be used to assign a specific descriptive name for the AirStation.
is an acronym of Network Time Protocol. An NTP server distributes accurate time to network devices. Access You may prohibit management of the AirStation in specific circumstances. Enabling any of these limitations will prevent changes being made to the AirStation’s settings from PCs that meet the listed limitation criteria. Note that checking all of these boxes at once will make it very difficult to make future changes to the AirStation’s settings.
Updating the Router’s Firmware 1. In the “Update” screen, click “Browse”. A window will open that allows you to select the location of the firmware update file. 2. Browse to the firmware file you downloaded. Select the file by double clicking on the file name. 3. Click “Update Firmware” to update to the latest firmware version. DIAGNOSTIC Diagnostic panels show the current status of your modem router, its local network connection, the wireless interface, and the DSL link.
