Chapter 1
Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless Router's features
and capabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless Router. The Wireless Rou-
ter is a multi-function device providing the following services:
Shared Broadband Internet Access
for all LAN users.
Wireless Access Point
for 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations.
4-Port Switching Hub
for 10BaseT or 100BaseT connections.
Installation
Wireless Router Features
The Wireless Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to
provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
Shared Internet Access.
All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the
Internet through the Wireless Router, using only a single external IP Address.
The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This
process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
DSL & Cable Modem Support.
The Wireless Router has a 10/100BaseT
Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Ca-
ble Modems are supported.
PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP Support.
The Internet (WAN port) connection
supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol)
and L2TP, as well as "Direct Connection" type services.
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address.
On the Internet (WAN port) connection,
the Wireless Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allo-
cated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.

Advanced Internet Functions
Application Level Gateways (ALGs).
Applications which use non-
standard connections or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall.
The ability to define and allow such applications is provided, to enable such ap-
plications to be used normally.
Port Triggering.
This feature, also called Special Applications, allows you to
use Internet applications which normally do not function when used behind a
firewall.
Port Forwarding.
This feature allows Internet users to access Internet
servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
Virtual Servers.
This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers
on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
Dynamic DNS Support.
DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature,
allows users to connect to Servers on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if
you have a dynamic IP address which changes every time you connect.
URL Filter.
Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by
LAN users.
Access Control.
Using the Access Control feature, you can assign LAN
users to different groups, and determine which Internet services are available
to each group.
Scheduling.
Both the URL Filter and Firewall rules can be scheduled to
operate only at certain times. This provides great flexibility in controlling Internet
-bound traffic.
Logs.
Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send log data
to a Syslog Server. Log data can also be E-mailed to you.
QoS Support
Quality of Service can be used to handle packets so that more
important connections receive priority over less important one.
Wireless Features
Standards Compliant.
The Wireless Router complies with the
IEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.
Multi SSIDs Support.
This feature can let you have 2 SSIDs on one AP,
which provides more easy way for Guest access and also secure your resource
at the same time.
WEP support.
Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key
sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before
transmission, providing protection against snoopers.
WPA-PSK support.
Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before trans-
mission, providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later
standard than WEP, and provides both easier configuration and greater securi-
ty than WEP.
WPA2-PSK support.
Support for WPA2 is also included. WPA2 uses the
extremely secure AES encryption method.
802.1x Support.
Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the
industrial-strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization.
Wireless MAC Access Control.
The Wireless Access Control feature can
check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that
only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.

Simple Configuration.
If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be
changed quickly and easily.
WPS Support.
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of
connecting any device to the wireless network by using the push button confi-
guration (PBC) on the Wireless Access Point, or entering a PIN code if there's
no button.
WDS Support
.
Support for WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows the
Wireless Access Point to act as a Wireless Bridge. Both Point-to-Point and
Multi-Point Bridge modes are supported.
LAN Features
4-Port Switching Hub.
The Wireless Router incorporates a 4-port
10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
DHCP Server Support.

for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
Configuration & Management
Easy Setup.
Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN
for configuration.
Configuration File Upload/Download.
Save (download) the configuration
data from the Wireless Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-
saved configuration file to the Wireless Router.
Remote Management.
The Wireless Router can be managed from any PC
on your LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also
(optionally) be configured via the Internet.
Network Diagnostics.
You can use the Wireless Router to perform a
Ping
or
DNS lookup
.
UPnP Support.
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery
and configuration of the Wireless Router. UPnP is supported by Windows ME,
XP, or later.

Security Features
Password - protected Configuration
.
Password protection is provided to
prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
Wireless LAN Security
.
WPA-PSK, WEP and Wireless access control by
MAC address are all supported. The MAC-level access control feature can be
used to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.
NAT Protection.
An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Transla-
tion) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address,
the location and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external
viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the Wireless Router.
Firewall.
All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server
requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from
external sources.
Protection against DoS attacks.
DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can
flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, us-
ing so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes
unavailable. The Wireless Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
