NOTE

: You cannot use the IP address of the Gateway (192.168.0.1 – default IP) in the client

address pool.

PPTP IP Address Pool

When the Gateway is configured to act as a PPTP VPN server in the VPN Settings section, PPTP

clients will be assigned IP addresses in this range for their PPTP WAN interface.

ROUTING

From this section you can configure Static Routes and RIP Control settings.

Static Routes

Use this section to configure Static Routes on your network.

A static route setting will allow

you to configure a different Gateway for a Specific Destination IP.

To access the Static Routes configuration page, on the Side Navigation bar, click on the [WAN]

link and then select the [Static Route] link.

NOTE

:

Users cannot add any static routes to a public network assigned by your cable operator.

Users can add other private networks that are located on the LAN side of the SMC8014W-G.

Adding Static Routes

The screen shot below shows the Configuration Page for adding a Static Route to your network.

To access this screen, click on the [Add] button from the main [Static Routes] page (shown

above).

RIP Control

Use this section to configure the RIP control settings. RIP is used by some cable operators to

advertise Public LAN IPs to their network.

Below is an outline of the RIP control options:

1.

RIP Send Version:

Options are to send

RIP1| RIP2| RIP1 and RIP2| DO NOT SEND

.

2.

RIP Receive Version:

Options are to receive

RIP1| RIP2| RIP1 and RIP2| DO NOT RECEIVE

.

3.

Update Interval:

Time period for RIP daemon to send out its routing information to other routers.

4.

Default Metric:

This variable indicates the metric that is to be used for the default route entry in RIP

updates originated on this interface. A value of zero indicates that no default route

should be originated. For CM, it is not necessary to send out its own default route to

the CMTS. So, this value should be zero.

5.

Authentication Type (only for RIPv2):

This value is used when users choose RIP2 for the RIP SEND/RECEIVE. The options are

No authentication| Simple Password| MD5

. The Simple Password option uses a clear

text password.

Usually, MD5 is preferred for security reason. Please be aware that the

CMTS's RIP setting must match with the CM's RIP setting.

6.

Authentication Key & ID (only for RIPv2):

These two values are used with item 5 above. If “Simple Password” or “MD5” is chosen

for authentication type, they must match the values set in the CMTS.

7.

Neighbor:

Usually RIP are sent out by broadcast or multicast. If users want to unicast

the RIP to a specific neighbor router, they can specify the destination IP here. Then

only that particular neighbor router would receive the RIP messages.

NOTE

: It is best to use RIP2 when using non-classful IP addresses.

In other words, use RIP2 for

those networks that are subneted (e.g. a subnet mask other than 255.0.0.0 for a Class A IP

address).

RIP1 does not support classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) which is the method used

to subdivide networks with subnet masks.

To configure the RIP settings via Web UI, please follow the steps outlined below:

1.

You will need to confirm the network is setup with a valid Public LAN IP in [LAN] page

before they enable the RIP setting.

NOTE

: The RIP setting is disabled by default.

2.

After you confirm the LAN Settings, then you will need to configure the RIP Settings.

These settings will need to be configured based on how your cable operator network is set up.

WIRELESS

This section allows you to configure the Gateway’s built-in 54 Mbps 802.11g Access Point. To

setup the wireless connections, you will need to do define the Service Set Identifier (SSID),

Channel, Encryption options, and other optional settings.

To access the Wireless Settings page shown below, on the Side Navigation bar, click on

[Wireless] link.

The Wireless Mode can be set to Mixed (default), 11B only, 11B+ only, or 11G only.

Also, the

Gateway’s wireless interface can be disabled if not being used.

Channel and SSID

You must specify a common radio channel and SSID (Service Set ID) to be used by the Gateway

and all of your wireless clients. Be sure you configure all of your clients to the same values.

To access the Channel and SSID configuration page, on the Side Navigation bar, click on

[Wireless] link and then click on the [Channel and SSID] link.

SSID

: This is the Wireless ID or Service Set ID of your wireless network. This should be set to

the same value as the other wireless devices in your network.

NOTE

: The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

Channel

: The radio channel through which the Gateway communicates to clients over the

wireless network.

NOTE

: If you are not getting good wireless performance try another wireless channel – because

this Gateway operates in the 2.4GHz spectrum – it can be affected by some other products,

such as cordless phones.

Hide SSID:

This option will cause the Gateway to not broadcast its SSID. By selecting this

option, wireless clients will not be able to use their Site Survey feature to locate this wireless

network.

Encryption

Downloaded from

www.Manualslib.com

If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable either Wired

Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA) encryption. Encryption requires you

to use the same set of encryption/decryption keys for the Gateway and all of your wireless

clients.

To access the Encryption configuration page, on the Side Navigation bar, click on [Wireless] link

and then click on the [Encryption] link.

WEP

Select [WEP] from the [Encryption Type] drop down menu. Select the Automatic, Open System,

or Shared Key from the [WEP Authentication Type] drop down menu.

You can choose between standard 64-bit or 128-bit encryption keys. Below are the

configuration options for 64-bit WEP.

A passphrase or a manual key can be used.

NOTE

: To enter a manual WEP key you will need to enter hexadecimal values (A-F and 0-9).

To automatically generate a 64-bit WEP key, enter in a Passphrase (keyword - ex. Home) and

click the [Generate Keys] option.

Once you do this, the Gateway will dynamically generate 4
