IPv6 Autoconﬁg

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

There are two ways to dynamically conﬁgure IPv6 address on hosts. One is statefull conﬁguration,

for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful

autoconﬁguration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or conﬁguration information and

parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track of which

addresses have been assigned to which hosts.

The second way is stateless conﬁguration. 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.

Static LAN IPv6 Address Conﬁguration

Interface Address / Preﬁx Length: enter the static LAN IPv6 address, we suggest leave the ﬁeld

empty because when setted wrong, it will result in LAN devices not being able to access other IPv6

device through internet. Router will take the same WAN’s preﬁx to LAN side if the ﬁeld is empty.

IPv6 LAN application

DHCPv6 Server:

check whether to enable DHCPv6 server.

DHCPv6 Server Type:

select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is

available. Stateless: if selected, the PCs in LAN are conﬁgured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in

LAN are conﬁgured through RA mode, to obtain the preﬁx message and generate an address using

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

routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server. Stateful: if selected,

the PCs in LAN will be conﬁgured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses and DNS information

from DHCPv6 server.

Start interface ID:

enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the

preﬁx and the interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4.

End interface ID:

enter the end interface ID.

Note:

Interface ID does NOT support ZERO COMPRESSION "::". Please enter the complete

information.

For example: Please enter "0:0:0:2" instead of "::2".

Leased Time (hour):

the leased time, similar to leased time in DHCPv4, is a time limit assigned to

clients, when expires, the assigned ID will be recycled and reassigned.

Issue Router Advertisement:

check whether to enable issue Router Advertisement feature. It is

to send Router Advertisement messages periodically. Router will multicast the v6 Preﬁx information

(similar to v4 network number 192.168.1.0) to all LAN devices if the ﬁeld is enabled. We suggest

enabling this ﬁeld.

Wireless (only for BiPAC 7800N)

Parameters

WLAN Service:

Default setting is set to Enable.

If you do not have any wireless, select Disable.

Time Schedule:

A self deﬁned time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization

policy.

Here we provide two groups of Time Schedule setting. You can ﬂexibly set the time you want the

wireless connection works.

If you select Always On in group1, then the group2 is disabled.

While if you select any other item from the group1 drop-down menu, the group2 will be activated.

Select the timeslot you want, then the wireless will work according to the time of the two time

schedule settings. You can set two timeslots, let wireless works to the two timeslots time you set.

For example:

you want your wireless to work at 08:00-18:00 Sunday and 01:00-02:00 Monday, you

74

can set like this:

the timesolts

setting

For timeslots setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.

Mode:

The default setting is 802.11g+n. If you do not know or have both 11g and 11b devices in

your network, then keep the default in mixed mode.

From the drop-down manual, you can select

802.11g if you have only 11g card.

If you have only 11b card, then select 802.11b. And if you have

11n card, you can select 802.11n.

ESSID:

The ESSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) used to distinguish one from

another. For security propose, change to a unique ID name which is already built into the router

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

clients have exactly the ESSID as the device in order to connect to your network.

Hide ESSID:

This function enables the router to become invisible on the network. Thus, any clients

using the wireless setting to search for available or speciﬁc router on the network will not be able

to discover the router whose Hide ESSID function is set to enabled. The default setting is disabled.

Regulation Domain:

There are seven Regulation Domains for you to choose from, including North

America (N.America), Europe, France, etc. The Channel ID will be different based on this setting.

Channel ID:

Select the wireless connection channel ID that you would like to use.

Note: Wireless performance may degrade if the selected channel ID is already being occupied

by other AP(s).

Channel width:

Select either 20 MHz or 20/40 MHz for the channel bandwidth. The higher the

bandwidth the better the performance will be.

TX PowerLevel:

It is a function that enhances the wireless transmitting signal strength.

User

may adjust this power level from minimum 0 up to maximum 100.

Note: The Power Level maybe different in each access network user premise environment,

choose the most suitable level for your network.

AP MAC Address:

It is a unique hardware address of the Access Point.

AP Firmware Version:

The Access Point ﬁrmware version.

WPS Service:

Select Enable if you would like to activate WPS service.

WPS State:

This column allows you to set the status of the device wireless setting whether it

has been conﬁgured or unconﬁgured. For WPS conﬁguration please refer to the section on

Wi-Fi

Network Setup

for detail.

WMM:

This feature is used to control the prioritization of trafﬁc according to 4 Access categories:

75

Page 80 / 166

Voice, Video, Best Effort and Background. Default is set to disable.

Wireless Multicast Forwarding:

select Enable to enbale wireless multicasr forwarding feature.

Then you can set the wireless multicast rate to give control to wireless multicast.

Wireless Multicast Rate:

speciﬁes the rate at which multicast packets are transmitted by the

access point on your wireless network. Specifying a high multicast rate may improve performance

of multicast features.

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

It is a wireless access point mode that enables wireless link and communication with other access

points.

It is

easy to install simply by deﬁning the peer’

s MAC address of the connected

AP. WDS

takes advantages of the cost saving and flexibility which no extra wireless client device is required to

bridge between two access points and extending an existing wired or wireless infrastructure network

to create a larger network. It can connect up to 4 wireless APs for extending cover range at the same

time.

In addition, WDS also enhances its link connection security mode. Key encryption and channel must

be the same for both access points.

WDS Service:

The default setting is

Disabled.

Check

Enable

radio button to activate this

function.

1. Peer WDS MAC Address:

It is the associated AP’s MAC Address. It is important that your

peer’s AP must include your MAC address in order to acknowledge and communicate with

each other.

2. Peer WDS MAC Address:

It is the second associated AP’s MAC Address.

3. Peer WDS MAC Address:

It is the third associated AP’s MAC Address.

4. Peer WDS MAC Address:

It is the fourth associated AP’s MAC Address.

Note: For MAC Address, the format can be: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.

Click Apply to conﬁrm the settings.

You can click Security settings link next to Cancel button to go to Wireless Security screen (see

Wireless Security

section).
