Network settings Use the Home Networking menu to configure the LAN IP address and to enable the DHCP server for dynamic client address allocation.
EN WDS If the signal strength of a single Wireless Router is not sufficient due to a large coverage area or attenuation due to walls, with WDS the range of a Wireless Router can be extended. All Routers in a Wireless Distribution System must be configured with the same radio channel, and encryption type (WEP / WPA/WPA2) if that is used. Note: The WDS feature is not completely specified in IEEE or Wifi standards. Therefore it cannot be guaranteed that WDS will work with products of different vendors.
EN Security Firewall The Wireless Router’s firewall inspects packets at the application layer, maintains TCP and UDP session information including time-outs and the number of active sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent certain types of network attacks. Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and networks with a connection to the Internet.
EN Schedule Rule You may filter Internet access for local clients based on rules. Each access control rule may be activated at a scheduled time. Define the time schedule on this page, and apply the rule on the Access Control page. Intrusion Detection Intrusion Detection Feature Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Anti-DoS firewall protection (Default: Enabled) - The Intrusion Detection Feature of the Wireless Router limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port.
EN Wireless security Wireless Encryption To make your wireless network safe, you should turn on the security function. The Wireless Router supports WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access), and 802.1x security mechanisms. Access Control Access Control allows users to define the outgoing traffic permitted or not-permitted through the WAN interface. The default is to permit all outgoing traffic. To add the PC to the filtering table: 1 Click ‘Add PC’ on the Access Control screen.
EN WPA/WPA2 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) combines Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and 802.1x mechanisms. It provides dynamic key encryption and 802.1x authentication service. 802.1X If 802.1x is used in your network, then you should enable this function for the Wireless Router. These parameters are used for the Wireless Router to connect to the authentication server.
EN Home network settings Status The Status page displays WAN/LAN connection status, firmware, and hardware version numbers, illegal attempts to access your network, as well as information on DHCP clients connected to your network. The security log may be saved to a file by clicking ‘Save’ and choosing a location. Network settings Use the Home Networking menu to configure the LAN IP address and to enable the DHCP server for dynamic client address allocation.
EN WDS If the signal strength of a single Wireless Router is not sufficient due to a large coverage area or attenuation due to walls, with WDS the range of a Wireless Router can be extended. All Routers and wireless range extenders (i.e. SNR 6500) in a Wireless Distribution System must be configured with the same radio channel, and encryption type (WEP / WPA/WPA2) if that is used. Note: The WDS feature is not completely specified in IEEE or Wifi standards.
EN Advanced settings NAT Network Address Translation allows multiple users to access the Internet sharing one public IP. Address Mapping Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal users. This also hides the internal network for increased privacy and security. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into the Global IP field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the global IP into the ‘from’ field.
EN Maintenance Use the Maintenance menu to backup the current configuration, restore a previously saved configuration, restore factory settings, update firmware, and reset the Wireless Router. Configuration Tools Choose a function and click Next. Backup allows you to save the Wireless Router’s configuration to a file. Restore can be used to restore the saved backup configuration file. Restore to Factory Defaults resets the Wireless Router to the original settings.
EN WARNING! When you reset the Wireless Router using the blue reset button all configuration settings will be lost, also your ISP settings. Enter a maximum Idle Time Out (in minutes) to define a maximum period of time for which the login session is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the maximum idle time, it will perform system logout, and you have to log in again to access the management interface.
EN UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) settings With Universal Plug and Play, a device can automatically dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, communicate its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices. Devices can then directly communicate with each other.
Configuring Client PC EN After completing hardware setup by connecting all your network devices, you need to configure your computer to connect to the Wireless Router. See: ‘Windows 2000’ ‘Windows XP’ ‘Wireless adapters’ TCP/IP Configuration To access the Internet through the Wireless Router, you must configure the network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as the Wireless Router.
