Wireless Radio

enables or disables the WLAN. If you do not use any

Wireless LAN devices it is recommended that you select disable.

Click on

Save WLAN Settings

and then

Restart

for the changes to take

effect.

WLAN->Authentication:

The encryption settings for your private Wireless

LAN.

Encryption

is disabled by default. Choose

Enable

to show the

available settings. There are three types of encryption methods in the

Authentication Type

drop-down menu,

WEP Open System

,

WEP Shared

Key

and

WPA-PSK

.

WEP Open System

encrypts all data that is sent over the wireless network

but does not use any authentication. This means it is still possible for

all clients in range to log onto the UMR, but without the correct key

they will not be able to communicate with it. To activate this setting,

choose

WEP Open System

from the

Authentication Type

drop-down

menu. Then choose a

Key Type

, either HEX (range 0-9 and A-F) or

ASCII (any character on the keyboard). Choose

Key Size

; 64 bits (for

HEX this is 10 characters and for ASCII 5 characters) or 128 bits (for

HEX this is 26 characters and for ASCII 13 characters): the longer the

key, the stronger the encryption. The key is case sensitive. You have the

possibility to deﬁne 4 keys at once so that you can easily change key to

maintain security.

WEP Shared Key

is identical to WEP Open System except that this mode

also uses authentication. This is less suitable from a security perspective

since it is possible to retrieve the key from the authentication process.

WPA-PSK

is the third and strongest security option. Choose it from

the

Authentication Type

drop-down menu and then enter a pass phrase

between 8 and 63 characters. All Wireless LAN clients must use the

exact same pass phrase in order to access your network. Due to the

Advanced settings

complexity and larger data overhead this option may decrease the

performance of the network.

Click on

Save Authentication Settings

and then Restart for the changes

to take effect.

WLAN->MAC Address Control:

The settings for restricting access to your private network via white-listing of

authorized clients.

MAC Address Control

enables or disables the MAC address ﬁltering on

the MAC addresses under

WLAN->MAC Address Control

.

MAC Address control is a security function that limits which clients

can access your private network and the public Internet through your

UMR. Enter the MAC address of the client that you want to grant

access to your network (the MAC address of a client running Microsoft

Windows can be obtained by clicking on the

Start

button and then

Run

. Type

cmd

and press enter. Then type

ipconﬁg /all

in the command

prompt and press enter. The MAC address is found on the physical

address line). Click on

Add to list

. Note that the function is enabled or

disabled under

WLAN->WLAN Properties

. Disabling the function does

not clear the

MAC Address Control

List.

LAN Settings

LAN->LAN Settings:

The network settings for the UMR.

Network Settings

allows you to change the default IP address for your

UMR. However, in most cases you do not need to change this setting.

Note that the IP address for the UMR is used on your private network

only. It is not possible to change the subnet mask. Click on

Save LAN

Settings

and then

Restart

for the changes to take effect.

LAN->DHCP:

The settings for your private network.

DHCP Server

allows you to enable or disable the built-in DHCP server.

When enabled, all clients on your private network will automatically

obtain an IP address from the range speciﬁed under

Client IP Address

Range

(valid range is from 1 to 254). When disabled you have to

manually enter an IP address from this range into each client.

Client Network Information

allows you to set a domain name for the

UMR and specify an additional DNS server.

Static Address Assignment

can be used when you want a client to

obtain the same IP address each time it logs on to your private network.

This setting works no matter if the DHCP Server is enabled or disabled.

Select how you want to identify the client, by hostname or MAC

address (it is possible to deﬁne 253 static IP addresses based on MAC

addresses and 256 based on hostnames). Type in the hostname or the

MAC address under

Host Identiﬁer

and ﬁnally, set the desired IP address

under

Internal Address

. Please make sure not to assign the IP address

of the UMR to any of the clients. Click on Add and then

Save DHCP

Settings

when you are ﬁnished.

View DHCP Table

is a function that shows the IP and MAC addresses of

all clients that are connected to the UMR.

LAN->Port

Forwarding:

The settings for manually unblocking certain

communication ports in your private network.

Reserved Ports

is a list of logical ports that cannot be used to access

your private network from the public Internet.

Port Forwarding to LAN

lets you specify which ports clients on the

public Internet shall be able to communicate through, to clients on

your private network. Under

Port Range

, select a range (any range that

does not contain the ports listed under

Reserved Ports

) from 0-65535.

Select the type of trafﬁc that should be let through on these ports,

TCP

or

UDP

, or

Both

. Finally, type in the

Destination Address

, which

is the IP address of the client on your private network that you want

to be accessible from the public Internet. Click on

Add

when you are

ﬁnished. Note that by default, no trafﬁc is permitted inwards if the

request is initiated by an external user. However, clients on your private

network can always access the public Internet.

Click on

Restart

for the changes to take effect.

LAN->UPnP:

The settings for Universal Plug and Play.

The UMR supports Universal Plug and Play. UPnP is a feature that

enables client application on devices behind the UMR to automatically

trigger the opening of TCP/UDP ports through the ﬁrewall in the

UMR.

As a security precaution, this feature is disabled by default and can be

enabled manually.

System Settings

System->Security:

Option for changing the default password of the UMR.

Please enter the same password twice and press

Save Password

. The

new password will take effect upon restart.

Note

: If you have misplaced or forgotten your password, you can reset it

to “password” by pushing the Reset button on the back of the UMR.

Warning

: By pushing the Reset button, you will also be clearing out

all the parameters and restoring everything back to the original factory

default settings. Please note that all your stored text messages

(SMS) will be deleted as well.

System->Remote Management:

The

settings

for

enabling

remote

management of the UMR from another location.

Secure Access Port:

Select which port you would like to access the

UMR interface page from the Internet. By default, remote management

is disabled, but can be enabled by selecting any of the other three ports.

The

Standard port

is port 80, which is the regular port for HTTP.

Example: Should you wish to access the settings on your UMR

from elsewhere on the internet, simply open a browser, type in

http://<ip address of UMR>:<port>

.

For instance, http://183.168.0.35:4430.

IP Address:

If remote access has been enabled, then the UMR is open

by default to remote access from anywhere on the Internet. To limit

it to a single or several designated remote locations, type in the IP

address(es) and click on

Add to list.

After having done this, all other

sources besides those entered will be barred entry.

All changes will take effect upon restart of the UMR.
