Step 3

Select

PPPoE Get IP Address by using PPPoE

.

Step 4

Select whether to enable the network address transmission (NAT) function, if enable, the

NAPT type is recommended.

Note:

When the NAT function is enabled to facilitate translation of IP addresses, the host IP address

of LAN can be effectively hidden. Thus, the security of the intranet is ensured. Two NAT

modes are available:

z

network address port translation (NAPT)

z

CONE NAT

Step 5

Enter the user name in the

UserName

text box.

Step 6

Enter the password in the

2.2.2 Configuring the Bridge Mode

The configuration of the bridge mode is similar to that of the routing mode. The

difference between them lies in the necessity of selecting the bridge type for configuring

the bridge mode.

z

IP_Bridged: This option is recommended when the way of obtaining an IP address is

DHCP mode or static IP mode.

z

PPPoE_Bridged: This option is recommended when the way of obtaining an IP

address is PPPoE mode.

Step 1

In the navigation tree, choose

Basic

>

WAN

, and then click the

Step 1

In the navigation tree, choose

Basic

>

LAN

, and then click the

DHCP

tab.

Step 2

Enter the BM635 IP address in the

IP Address

text box, for example, 192.168.1.1.

Step 3

Enter the BM635 subnet mask in the

Subnet Mask

text box, for example,

255.255.255.0.

Step 4

Click

Apply

.

Step 5

Select

Enable DHCP Server

.

Step 6

Enter the start IP address at the LAN side in the

Start IP Address

text box, for example,

192.168.1.2.

Step 7

Enter the end IP address at the LAN side in the

End IP Address

text box, for example,

192.168.1.254.

Step 8

Select the lease of the address from the

Lease (unit)

. The system automatically leases

the address in advance according to the specified lease.

Step 9

Select the device type in the

Device Type

.

Step 10

Enter the start IP address of the selected device type in the

Start IP Address

text box.

Step 11

Enter the end IP address of the selected device type in the

End IP Address

text box.

Step 10

Select whether to enable the

DHCP relay

function.

Step 11

3.1 Configuring a WLAN

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is set up based on wireless communication

technologies without any cables. The setup of the WLAN is simple. With the WLAN

function, the BM635 enables users to access the broadband network at any time and any

place within the WLAN coverage area in addition to the provisioning of the legacy wired

LAN services.

3.1.1 Configuring Basic WLAN Parameters

In the navigation tree, choose

Basic

>

LAN

, and then click the

WLAN

tab.

Select

Enable Wireless

to enable WLAN.

Parameter

Description

Mode

Three wireless network modes are available:

.

Channel

It indicates the WLAN channel. The default value is

Auto

.

Rate

It indicates the rate of the specified channel. The default value is

Auto

.

Transmit Power

It indicates the transmit power. The more the transmit power, the

3.1.2 Configuring WLAN Security Parameters

In the

WLAN

tab

,

Security Configure

provides four security modes: wired equivalent

privacy (

WEP

), Wi-Fi protected access pre-shared key (

WPA-PSK

), Wi-Fi protected

access 2 (

WPA2-PSK

), and

Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK

.

You can select one of the following according to the network configuration:

z

WEP

: It indicates that the data transmitted wirelessly is encrypted according to the

set encryption parameters.

z

WPA-PSK

: It indicates the simplified WPA authentication mode. The special

authentication server is not required. To encrypt data, enter the secret key only.

z

WPA2-PSK

: It indicates the simplified WPA2 authentication mode. It supports the

IEEE 802.11i Wi-Fi standard.

z

Mixed

WPA2/WPA-PSK

: It indicates that support both WPA-PSK and

WPA2-PSK authentication mode.

No matter which security mode you select, ensure that the setting of the security mode

parameter of the wireless access device is consistent with that of the security mode parameter

of the BM635.
