Separate the Wireless and the Wired LAN- WLAN Isolation

enables you to isolate your

wireless LAN from wired LAN for either quarantine or limit access reasons. To isolate

means neither of the parties can access each other. To elaborate an example for business use,

you may set up a wireless LAN for visitors only so they can connect to Internet without

hassle of the confidential information leakage. For a more flexible deployment, you may add

filters of MAC addresses to isolate users’ access from wired LAN.

Manage Wireless Stations - Station List

will display all the station in your wireless

network and the status of their connection.

Below shows the menu items for Wireless LAN.

the SSID and the wireless channel. Please refer to the following figure for more information.

Enable Wireless LAN

Check the box to enable wireless function.

Mode

Select an appropriate wireless mode.

Mixed (11b+11g+SuperG) -

The radio can support

IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and SuperG protocols

simultaneously.

Mixed (11b+11g) -

The radio can support both

IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g protocols simultaneously.

SuperG

- The radio only supports SuperG.

11g only -

The radio only supports IEEE802.11g.

11b only -

The radio only supports IEEE802.11b.

SSID

The default SSID is "default". We suggest you change it

to a particular name. It is the identification of the wireless

LAN. SSID can be any text numbers or various special

characters.

Channel

The channel of frequency of the wireless LAN. The

default channel is 6. You may switch channel if the

selected channel is under serious interference.

Hide SSID

Check it to prevent from wireless sniffing and make it

harder for unauthorized clients or STAs to join your

wireless LAN. Depending on the wireless utility, the user

may only see the information except SSID or just cannot

see any thing about Vigor wireless router while site

surveying.

Long Preamble

This option is to define the length of the sync field in a

802.11 packet. Most modern wireless network uses short

preamble with 56 bit sync filed instead of long preamble

with 128 bit sync field. However, some original 11b

wireless network devices only support long preamble.

Check it to use

Long Preamble

if needed to

communicate with this kind of devices.

3.11.3 Security

By clicking the

Security Settings

, a new web page will appear so that you could configure

the settings of WEP and WPA.

Mode

There are several modes provided for you to choose.

Disable

- Turn off the encryption mechanism.

WEP Only -

Accepts only WEP clients and the

encryption key should be entered in WEP Key.

WEP/802.1x Only -

Accept WEP clients with 802.1x

authentication. Since the key will be auto-negotiated

during authentication, the field of key setting below will

be not available for input.

WEP or WPA/PSK

-

Accepts WEP and WPA clients

with legal key accordingly. Only Mixed (WPA+WPA2)

is applicable if you select WPA/PSK.

WEP/802.1x or WPA/802.1x -

Accept WEP or WPA

clients with 802.1x authentication. Only

Mixed(WPA+WPA2) is applicable if you select

WPA/PSK. Since the key will be auto-negotiated during

authentication, the field of key setting below will be not

available for input.

WPA/PSK Only -

Accepts WPA clients and the

encryption key should be entered in PSK. Remember to

select WPA type to define either Mixed or WPA2 only in

the field below.

WPA/802.1x Only -

Accept WPA clients with 802.1x

authentication. Remember to select WPA type to define

either Mixed or WPA2 only in the field below. Since the

key will be auto-negotiated during authentication, the

field of key setting below will be not available for input.

WPA

The WPA encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio

using the key, which either PSK entered manually in this

field below or automatically negotiated via 802.1x

authentication.

Type

- Select from Mixed (WPA+WPA2) or WPA2 only.

Pre-Shared Key (PSK)

- Either

8~63

ASCII characters,

such as 012345678..(or 64 Hexadecimal digits leading by

0x, such as "0x321253abcde...").

WEP

64-Bit

-

For 64 bits WEP key, either

5

ASCII characters,

such as 12345 (or 10 hexadecimal digitals leading by 0x,

such as 0x4142434445.)

128-Bit

-

For 128 bits WEP key, either

13

ASCII

characters, such as ABCDEFGHIJKLM (or 26

hexadecimal digits leading by 0x, such as

0x4142434445464748494A4B4C4D).

All wireless devices must support the same WEP

encryption bit size and have the same key. Four keys can

be entered here, but only one key can be selected at a

time. The keys can be entered in ASCII or Hexadecimal.

Check the key you wish to use.
