the network.
The TKIP encryption algorithm is stricter than the one
used by WEP but is based on the same standard.
WPA:
The 802.1x authentication protocol, allows users to authenticate
wireless network access through a RADIUS Server and is a required by
WPA standard. If no RADIUS Server exists in your network environment,
you still can use WPA through the use of WPA Pre-shared Key.
WEP Key
The AirCruiser G supports two WEP standards:
64-bit,152-bit
. Select
either
64-bits
or
152-bits
from the drop-down list activate WEP
encryption. The
64-bits
encryption uses 40 bits as a secret key,
(user-defined) and the remaining 24 bits are reserved. The
128-bits
encryption uses 104 bits as a secret key, (user-defined) and the
remaining 24 bits are reserved.
WPA Re-key
Enabling the requirement for WPA rekeying of a Passphrase for
increased security. Default is
disable
.
WEP Re-key Timer
Specify time (in minutes) for expiration of the current WPA Key.
WPA PSK Passphrase
The Passphrase must be between 8 and 64 characters.
WPA PSK Re-key
A user without a RADIUS server, may specify generating a new WPA
PSK key more frequently than each time he connects to the network.
WPA PSK Re-key Timer
Specify time (in minutes) for expiration of the current WPA PSK key

The MAC Access Control Tab
Figure 6-7 – MAC Access Control
The
MAC Access Control
screen allows you to specify the Media Access
Controller (MAC) address of up to 32 devices on your network. Only those
devices listed in the table will have access to transmit data through the
AirCruiser G.
In this way, even if someone manages to obtain all the
information necessary to connect to your network, if their MAC address is not
permitted, they still cannot connect. Keep in mind, however that MAC
addresses can be spoofed, so it is not a panacea but rather another component
of your existing security process. Enable the feature, then key in the MAC
addresses to be allowed.
Enter the MAC in the form separated by colon.
The default setting is
Disable
.

The RADIUS Server Configuration Tab
Figure 6-8 – RADIUS Config
Your AirCruiser G supports 802.1x and RADIUS Server authentication.
RADIUS provides a centralized, server-based authentication of client access to
the network.
RADIUS Server IP
Assign an IP address for the RADIUS Server.
RADIUS Server Port
Enter a value within the range 1~65536 for the
port.
Shared Secret
Enter a password up to 256 characters
(uppercase “
A
~
Z
”, lowercase “
a
~
z
” or numeric
“
0
~
9
”) in length.
Verify the settings, and then to apply these to your network, click the
Submit
button.

The Static Routing Table Screen
The
Static Routing Table
displays the AirCruiser G Wireless Router routing
settings. To add or modify, enter a value into the field and click the
Submit
button.
Figure 6-9 – Static Routing Table
Destination IP
Enter the Destination IP address that will be assigned to a specific network
or host.
Netmask
Enter the netmask associated with the Destination IP.
Gateway
Enter an IP address that will be assigned to the interface connecting to
subnets.
Metric
The “
Metric
” value is a number between 1 and 15 that represents the
number of Routers between your network and the destination. Generally,
setting the Metric value as either 2 or 3 is sufficient for most applications. If
this is a direct connection, please set the value to 1.

The Virtual Server Screen
The PPPoE/DHCP/Static Tab
A Virtual Server allows computers on the WAN side of the network to connect
with a PC server on the LAN side of the network.
Figure 6-10 – Virtual Server setup
For example, a PC on the LAN side with an IP address of 192.168.1.1 would
have the following virtual server settings:
¾
Protocol:
TCP
¾
Port:
21
¾
Virtual Server IP:
192.168.1.1
¾
Enable:
enable
In this case, any PC on the WAN side of the network can connect to the internal
FTP server (192.168.1.1) using the IP address on the WAN end of the
AirCruiser G Wireless Router.
