6. Configure the Wireless LAN setting.

WLAN Service:

Default setting is set to

Enable

.

If you want to use wireless, 802.11n, 802.11g and

802.11b device in your network, you can select

Enable

.

ESSID:

The ESSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguished from another.

For security propose, change to

a unique ID name to the AP which is already built-in to the router’s

wireless interface. It is case sensitive and must not excess 32 characters. Make sure your wireless clients

have exactly the ESSID as the device, in order to get connected to your network.

ESSID Broadcast

:

It is function in which transmits its ESSID to the air so that when wireless client

searches for a network, router can then be discovered and recognized. Default setting is

Enable.



Enable:

When Enable is selected, you can allow anybody with a wireless client to be able to

locate the Access Point (AP) of your router.



Disable:

Select Disable

if you do not want broadcast your ESSID. When select Disable, no one

will be able to locate the Access Point (AP) of your router.

Channel ID:

Select the ID channel that you would like to use.

Security Mode:

You can disable or enable with WPA or WEP for protecting wireless network. The default

mode of wireless security is

Disable

.

7. Wait for the configuration.

8. If connection is successful the following image will be shown.

Configuration

When you click this item, you get following sub-items to configure the ADSL router.

- LAN, WAN, System, Firewall, VPN, QoS, Virtual Server, Wake on LAN, Time Schedule

and

Advanced

These functions are described below in the following sections.

LAN - Local Area Network

Here are the items within the LAN section:

Bridge Interface, Ethernet, IP Alias, IPv6 Autoconfig,

Ethernet Client Filter, Wireless, Wireless Security, Wireless Client Filter, WPS, Port Setting

and

DHCP Server

.

Bridge Interface

You can setup member ports for each VLAN group under Bridge Interface section. From the example, two

VLAN groups need to be created.

Ethernet: P1 and P2 (Port 1, 2).

Ethernet1: P3, P4 and Wireless (Port 3, 4, Wireless). Uncheck P3, P4 and Wireless from Ethernet VLAN

port first.

Note:

You should setup each VLAN group with caution. Each Bridge Interface is arranged in this order.

Management Interface:

To specify which VLAN group has possibility to do device management, like

doing web management.

Note:

NAT/NAPT can be applied to management interface only

Ethernet

Primary IP Address

IP Address:

The default IP on this router.

Subnet Mask:

The default subnet mask on this router.

RIP:

RIP v1, RIP v2, and RIP v2 Multicast.

Check to enable RIP function.

IP Alias

This function creates multiple virtual IP interfaces on this router. It helps to connect two or more local

networks to the ISP or remote node. In this case, an internal router is not required.

IP Address:

Specify an IP address on this virtual interface.

Netmask:

Specify a subnet mask on this virtual interface.

Security Interface:

Specify the firewall setting on this virtual interface.

Internal:

The network is behind NAT. All traffic will do network address translation when sending out to

Internet if NAT is enabled.

External:

There is no NAT on this IP interface and connected to the Internet directly. Mostly it will be used

when providing multiple public IP addresses by ISP. In this case, you can use public IP address in local

network which gateway IP address point to the IP address on this interface.

DMZ:

Specify this network to DMZ area. There is no NAT on this interface.

IPv6 Autoconfig

The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID.

BiPAC 7402NX(L) dynamically configure IPv6 address on host with Stateless auto-configuration mode.

Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of

routers, and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a host to generate its own addresses

using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information(prefix) advertised by

routers. Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while hosts generate

an "interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An address is formed by

combining the two. When using stateless configuration, you needn’t configure anything on the client.

Link Local Address

: the Link local address for this device.

Dynamic IPv6 Address:

this field displays the dynamic obtained IPv6 address if you haven’t set static

IPv6 address.

Interface Address/Prefix length:

enter the static LAN IPv6 address.

Issue Router Advertisements

: check whether to enable issue Router Advertisement feature. It is to

send Router Advertisement messages periodically.

Ethernet Client Filter

The Ethernet Client Filter supports up to 16 Ethernet network machines that helps you to manage your

network control to accept traffic from specific authorized machines or can restrict unwanted machine(s) to

access your LAN.

There are no pre-define Ethernet MAC address filter rules; you can add the filter rules to meet your

requirements.

Ethernet Client Filter:

Default setting is set

Disable

.



Allowed:

check to authorize specific device accessing your LAN by insert the MAC Address in

the space provided or click

. Make sure your PC’s MAC is listed.



Blocked:

check to prevent unwanted device accessing your LAN by insert the MAC Address in

the space provided or click

. Make sure your PC’s MAC is not listed.

The maximum client is 16. The MAC addresses are 6 bytes long; they are presented only in hexadecimal

characters. The number

0

-

9

and letters

a

-

f

are acceptable.

Note:

Follow the MAC Address Format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. Semicolon ( : ) must be included.

Candidates:

automatically detects devices connected to the router through the Ethernet.

Active PC in LAN

Active PC in LAN displays a list of individual Ethernet device’s IP Address & MAC Address which

connecting to the router.

You can easily by checking the box next to the IP address to be blocked or allowed. Then,

to insert to

the Ethernet Client Filter table. The maximum Ethernet client is 16.
