Parameter

Description

Hide Broadcast

Indicates whether to enable or hide broadcast.

l

If the option box is not selected, it indicates that the SSID

broadcast function is enabled. The ONT periodically

broadcasts the SSID, that is, the name of the wireless

network. In this way, any STA can search for the wireless

network.

l

If the option box is selected, it indicates that the SSID

broadcast function is disabled. The SSID is hidden, and the

STA cannot search for the wireless network. The SSID can

be obtained only through a request.

WMM Enable

Indicates whether to enable the QoS of the wireless network.

After the function is enabled, the video and voice QoS can be

improved.

Authentication Mode

Indicates the authentication mode for the STA to request access

to the wireless network. The mode can be Open, Shared, WPA

Pre-Shared Key, WPA2 Pre-Shared Key, WPA Enterprise,

WPA2 Enterprise, or Wi-Fi Protected Setup.

It is set to open by default, that is, the STA can access the network

without authentication.

Encryption Mode

Indicates the encryption mode for the STA to request access to

the wireless network. The encryption mode and encryption

parameters vary with the authentication mode.

l

If the authentication mode is set to

Open

, the encryption

mode can be set to

None

or

WEP

.

l

If the authentication mode is set to

Shared

, the encryption is

WEP

.

l

If the authentication mode is set to

WPA Pre-Shared Key

,

WPA2 Pre-Shared Key

,

WPA Enterprise

, or

WPA2

Enterprise

, the encryption mode can be set to

AES

,

TKIP

,

or

TKIP&AES

.

l

If the authentication mode is set to

Wi-Fi Protected Setup

,

WPS Mode

must be set to

or

Push-button

.

NOTE

l

indicates the pin-based encryption.

l

Push-button

indicates the push-button-based encryption.

When

WPS Mode

is set to

Push-button

, press the

WPS

button on

the ONT and press the WPS icon included with the STA within two

minutes, or run the WPS setup program in the STA to install the WPS

software.

.

The IP address filter function is a security mechanism configured on the residential gateway. It

enables or disables all or partial ports in an Intranet IP address segment to communicate with

all or partial ports in an Extranet IP address segment. The IP address filter configuration is used

to limit communication between an Intranet device and an Extranet device.

Table 3-6

describes the parameters related to the IP address filter.

is set to

TCP/UDP

,

TCP

or

UDP

.

WAN-side IP Address

Indicates the IP address on the WAN side.

MAC Filter Configuration

1.

Click the

Security

MAC Filter Configuration

2.

Click

Apply

.

The MAC address lists of PCs in the network are saved on the ONT. Configuring MAC filter

rules enables the PCs that conform to the rules to access the Internet service or disables the PCs

that do not conform to the rules to access the Internet service. A PC may have more than one IP

addresses but a unique MAC address. Therefore, configuring MAC filter rules effectively

controls the Internet service access rights of PCs in a LAN.

Table 3-7

describes the parameters related to the MAC filter.
