CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 Start Port: 80 End Port: 80 Network Address: 172.22.24.160 (Johnny‘s IP address) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255 (This subnet mask restricts the rule to one single address). © 2011 CRADLEPOINT, INC. PLEASE VISIT HTTP://KNOWLEDGEBASE.CRADLEPOINT.
CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 6.4.3 DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) A DMZ host is effectively not firewalled in the sense that any computer on the internet may attempt to remotely access network services at the DMZ IP address. Typical uses involve running a public Web server, supporting older games, or sharing files. Input the IP Address of a single device in your network to create a DeMilitarized Zone for that device.
CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 6.5 MAC Filter The MAC Filter allows you to create a list of devices that have either exclusive access (white list) or no access (black list) to your wireless LAN. By default, the list of addresses is designated a ―w hite list.‖ Deselecting White List turns the list of addresses into a disallowed black list. Advanced: Add devices to either your white list or black list simply by inputting each device‘s MAC address. © 2011 CRADLEPOINT, INC.
CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 6.6 Routing (Advanced Mode only) Add a new static route to the IP routing table or edit/remove an existing route. Static routes are unnecessary for most users. They are typically only used in networks with more than one layer, such as when there is a network within a network so that packet destinations are hidden behind an additional router.
CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 6.7 WiFi / Local Network This section is used to configure the settings for wireless networks created by your router. Note that changes made in this section may also need to be duplicated on wireless devices that you want to connect to your wireless network. For example, if you change the LAN IP address, devices within your network will lose connection to the LAN. They will have to reconnect to your network. 6.7.
CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 6.7.2 Wireless (WiFi) Network Settings By default, the MBR95 has two wireless networks set up: Primary and Guest. ― Primary‖ is the main network for this router. ―Gue st‖ is an additional network that you may enable (this is disabled by default) to allow other people to briefly use your internet connection without knowing your Primary security password. It may have different security modes than your Primary network.
CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 Security Mode: You have several options for selecting a security mode. The mode you choose depends on the security features your wireless adapters support. If you select one of the security modes and are unable to connect to the router afterwards, you can use the reset buttons to reset the router to its factory default state and try a different security mode instead.
CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 6.7.3 WiFi Settings Random Channel: Select to randomize the WiFi channel. This makes it less likely that the wireless signal from this router will conflict with another router in the same area. Channel: The WiFi channel corresponds to a frequency the router uses to communicate with other devices. The range is 1 to 11, and 1, 6, and 11 do not overlap each other.
CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 Optimize WiFi/WiMAX coexistence: Setting this will lessen any possible conflict with WiFi in the 2.4 GHz band and an attached WiMAX modem. If a WiMAX modem is attached to the router when the WiFi is enabled, the WiFi channel and transmit power will be set to levels that optimize the performance of the WiMAX modem. If no WiMAX modem is attached, then default channel and power settings will be used even if this is selected.
CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 WPS: WiFi Protected Setup is a method for easy and secure establishment of a wireless network. It can be used instead of passwords when connecting clients that support WPS. Short Slot: Slot Time is the period wireless clients use in determining if the channel is free for transmission. Enabling this value allows clients that can utilize a shorter time to do so.
CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 Greenfield Mode: Greenfield mode uses an 802.11n-only preamble to transmit packets that older wireless clients cannot interpret. Use of greenfield mode in a mixed 802.11 environment may result in degraded performance but can improve performance if all devices in the area are 802.11n compatible. Antenna Diversity Mode: Antenna Diversity selects the optimal antenna to use for wireless reception.
CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 6.8 WiPipe QoS (Advanced Mode only) When WiPipe QoS (Quality of Service/Traffic Shaping) is enabled, the router will control the flow of internet traffic according to the userdefined rules. In other words, Traffic Shaping improves performance by allowing the user to prioritize applications. Enable WiPipe QoS: Click on this box to open options for controlling internet traffic. You can control Uplink Speed values or define your own Traffic Shaping rules.
