User's Manual

Introduction

• 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.

• 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 Wire-

less Access Point, or entering 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.

• Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed

quickly and easily.

LAN Features

• 4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless ADSL 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 Router can act as a

DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.

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 Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configura-

tion file to the Wireless ADSL Router.

• Remote Management. The Wireless ADSL 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 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-PSK, WEP and Wireless access control by MAC ad-

dress 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 PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network,

only a single device - the Wireless ADSL 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 band-

width and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless

ADSL Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
