Setup

An alternative is to press the WPS button at the front of the router until the WLAN

light starts flashing. This indicates that WPS is activated and ready to be paired

with client device. The WPS will be in pairing mode (flashing) for 1 minute.

Then press and hold the WPS button on your wireless client for 1 second.

If your device has no physical WPS push button, then you can push the software

button in the utility.

Wireless - Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

WDS operation as defined by the IEEE802.11 standard has been made available.

Using WDS it is possible to wirelessly connect Access Points, and in doing so

extend a wired infrastructure to locations where cabling is not possible or inefficient

to implement.

For maximum compatibility, it is recommended that WDS be set up using only the

same models, in this case, WBR-3408.

Also note that the standard only supports

WEP encryption.

Enable WDS

This feature allows you to make a completely wireless network

by using multiple access points without connecting them with a

wire LAN.

In order to make the WDS working successfully, the access point

must use the same channel (not Auto), SSID, as well as the

same wireless encryption method.

MAC Address

List

Enter the MAC address(es) of the AP(s) into the fields to allow

the following access points to be connected to the wireless

router.

WDS Environment

Below is an example of how a WDS operates.

Wireless Distribution System

1.

AP1, AP2 and AP3 are configured to use the same Channel and Security

settings.

2. Enter AP2 and

AP3’s MAC addresses into AP1’s WDS MAC Address list.

3.

AP1 and AP2 should connect via WDS, AP1 and AP3 should connect via

WDS.

4.

Now the network client (STA) connects to AP2 or AP3 and obtains an IP

address from AP1’s DHCP Server.

Wireless Security

This screen is accessed by clicking the "

Configure

" button on the

Wireless - Op-

tions

screen. There are 4 options for Wireless security:

Wireless Security Screen



Disabled

- no data encryption is used.



WEP

- data is encrypted using the WEP standard.



WPA-PSK

- data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later

standard than WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. If all your

Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than

WEP.



WPA2-PSK

- This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even

greater security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of en-

cryption.



WPA-802.1x

- This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to

provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data trans-

missions are encrypted using the WPA standard.

If this option is selected:



This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.



Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.



Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data

when required.



All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are au-

tomatically generated, so no key input is required.

WEP Wireless Security

WEP

Data - WEP Screen

WEP Data Encryption

Authentication

Type

Normally, this should be left at the default value of "Automatic".

If changed to "Open System" or "Shared Key", ensure that your

Wireless Stations use the same setting.

WEP Data

Encryption

Select the desired option, and ensure the Wireless Stations use

the same setting.



64 Bit

- data is encrypted, using the default key, before being

transmitted. You must enter at least the default key. For 64

Bit Encryption, the key size is 10 chars in HEX (0~9 and

A~F).



128 Bit

- data is encrypted, using the default key, before

being transmitted. You must enter at least the default key.

For 128 Bit Encryption, the key size is 26 chars in HEX (0~9

and A~F).

Key

Select the key you wish to be the default. Transmitted data is

ALWAYS encrypted using the Default Key; the other Keys are for

decryption only.

You must enter a

Key Value

for the

Default Key

.

Key Value

Enter the key value or values you wish to use. The

Key

is re-

quired, the other keys are optional. Other stations must have the

same key.

Passphrase

If desired, you can generate a key from a phrase, instead of

entering the key value directly. Enter the desired phrase, and

click the "Generate Keys" button.
