WEP

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/decryption keys for

the router and all of your wireless clients.

See the description of the Security features below.

Parameter Description

WEP Mode:

You can choose 64-bit or 128-bit

encryption. (Default: 64Bit)

Key Entry Method: You can choose HEX or ASCII

(Default/Recommended: HEX)

Key Provisioning:

Select static key or dynamic key.

(Default/Recommended: Static)

Static WEP Key:

You may manually enter the keys or

automatically generate

Settings: encryption keys. To manually configure the

keys, enter 10 digits for each 64-bit key, or enter 26

digits for the single 128¬bit key (A hexadecimal digit is

a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F

Default Key ID: Select the default key. (Default/

Recommended: 1)

Passphrase:

For automatic key generation, check

the Passphrase box, enter a Passphrase and click

‘SAVE SETTINGS.’ When you return to this screen the

Passphrase will be gone and the single 128Bit or the 4

64Bit keys will be generated.

Key 1-4:

If you do not choose to use the Passphrase

for automatic key generation, you must manually

enter four keys. For 64-bit encryption, enter exactly 10

hex digits. For 128-bit encryption, enter exactly 26 hex

digits.(A hex digit is a number or letter in the range

0-9 or A-F.)

Click ‘SAVE SETTINGS’ to apply your settings.

WPA / WPA2

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and 802.1x mechanisms. It

provides dynamic key encryption and 802.1x authentication service. With TKIP, WPA uses 48-bit initialization

vectors, calculates an 8-byte message integrity code, and generates an encryption key periodically

authentication, it allows you to use 802.1x authentication for an environment with a RADIUS server installed on

your network Selecting the Pre-shared Key enables WPA to use the pre-shared key in a SOHO network.

See the description of the WPA settings below.

Field Default Parameter Description

Cipher suite TKIP One of the security mechanisms

used by WPA for frame body and CRC frame

encryption.

Authentication:

802.1x: for an enterprise network with a RADIUS

server installed.

Pre-shared Key: for a SOHO network without any

authentication server installed.

•

•

Pre-shared key type:

Passphrase: Input 8~63 characters.

Hex: Input 64 hexadecimal digits. (A hexadecimal

digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F.

Pre-shared Key:

Specify in Passphrase style or in 64-

Hex characters.

Group Key Re-Keying:

The period of renewing

broadcast/multicast keys.

WDS

Wireless Distribution System (WDS) provides a means to extend the range of a Wireless Local Area Network

(WLAN). WDS allows an Access Point (AP) to establish a direct link to other APs and allows stations to roam

freely within the area covered by the WDS.

NAT

From this section you can configure the Virtual Server, and Special Application features that provide control

over the TCP/ UDP port openings in the router’s firewall. This section can be used to support several Internet

based applications such as web, email, FTP and Telnet.

NAT Settings

NAT allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal users. 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.

Enable or disable NAT module function:

Enable or disable the function and then click ‘SAVE SETTINGS’ to apply

the change.

Address Mapping

Use Address Mapping to allow a limited number of public IP addresses to be translated into multiple private IP

addresses for use on the internal LAN network. This also hides the internal network for increased privacy and

security.

Port Forwarding

Using this feature, you can put PCs with public IPs and PCs with private IPs in the same LAN area.

If you configure the Port Forwarding settings, remote

users accessing services such as web or FTP at your

local site via public IP addresses can be automatically

redirected to local servers configured with private

IP addresses. In other words, depending on the

requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the

router redirects the external service request to the

appropriate server (located at another internal IP

address).

For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80

(HTTP or web) and the LAN IP Address/LAN Port to

10.1.1.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users

will be transferred to 10.1.1.2 on port 80.Therefore,

by just entering the IP address provided by the ISP,

Internet users can access the service they need at

the local address to which you redirect them.

There is a list of commonly used applications and their

associated port(s), to add an application to the Port

Forwarding list simply select the desired application

and click ‘Add’.

The more common TCP service ports include: HTTP:

80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110.
