HITRON CGN2 USER’S GUIDE



Push-Button Configuration

(PBC)

: when the user presses the

PBC

button on

the AP (either a physical button, or a virtual button in the GUI), any user of a

wireless client that supports WPS can press the corresponding

PBC

button on

the client within two minutes to join the network.



Personal Identification Number (PIN) Configuration

: all WPS-capable

devices possess a PIN (usually to be found printed on a sticker on the device’s

housing). When you configure another device to use the same PIN, the two

devices authenticate with one another.

Once authenticated, devices that have joined a network via WPS use the WPA2

security standard.

6.1.6

WMM

WiFi MultiMedia (WMM) is a Quality of Service (QoS) enhancement that allows

prioritization of certain types of data over the wireless network. WMM provides four

data type classifications (in priority order; highest to lowest):



Voice



Video



Best effort



Background

If you wish to improve the performance of voice and video (at the expense of other,

less time-sensitive applications such as Internet browsing and FTP transfers), you

can enable WMM. You can also edit the WMM QoS parameters, but are disadvised

to do so unless you have an extremely good reason to make the changes.

6.2

THE SETUP SCREEN

Use this screen to configure your CGN2’s basic wireless settings. You can turn the

wireless module on or off, select the wireless mode and channel, run WPS and

configure the wireless network’s SSID. You can also configure authentication and

encryption on your wireless network.

NOTE:

It is strongly recommended that you set up security on your network;

otherwise, anyone in the radio coverage area can access your network.

Run WPS

Use these buttons to run Wifi Protected Setup (WPS):



Click the

PBC

button to begin the Push-Button

Configuration process. You must then press the PBC

button on your client wireless devices within two

minutes in order to register them on your wireless

network.



Click the

button to begin the PIN configuration

process. In the screen that displays, enter the WPS

PIN that you want to use for the CGN2, or the WPS

PIN of the client device you want to add to the

network.

Figure 29:

WPS PIN

WPS Current Status

This displays whether or not the CGN2 is using Wifi

Protected Setup.

SSID Setting

This displays an entry for each of the CGN2’s SSIDs.

NOTE:

You may have additional BSSIDs, depending on

your contract with your service provider.

SSID Name

Enter the name that you want to use for your wireless

network. This is the name that identifies your network,

and to which wireless clients connect.

NOTE:

It is suggested that you change the SSID from its

default, for security reasons.

Hidden

Use this field to make your network visible or invisible to

other wireless devices.



Select the checkbox if you do not want the CGN2 to

broadcast the network name (SSID) to all wireless

devices in the coverage area. Anyone who wants to

connect to the network must know the SSID.



Deselect the checkbox if you want your network

name (SSID) to be public. Anyone with a wireless

device in the coverage area can discover the SSID,

and attempt to connect to the network.

In Service

This field controls whether or not the SSID is in

operation.

NOTE:

This field is user-configurable for the

Primary

SSID

only.

WMM Mode

Select the checkbox if you want to apply Wifi MultiMedia

(WMM) Quality of Service (QoS) settings to this SSID.

Wireless Security

SSID

Select the SSID for which you want to configure

security.

Security Mode

Select the type of security that you want to use.



Select

None

to use no security. Anyone in the

coverage area can enter your network.



Select

WEP

to use the Wired Equivalent Privacy

security protocol.



Select

WPA-Personal

to use the WiFi Protected

Access (Personal) security protocol.

NOTE:

Due to inherent security vulnerabilities, it is

suggested that you use

WEP

only if it is the only

security protocol your wireless clients support.

Under almost all circumstances, you should use

WPA-Personal

WEP Settings

NOTE:

These fields are only configurable when you select

WEP

from the

Security

Mode

list.
