Parental Control Event Log Page

This page displays the Parental Control event log report. The event log is a running list of

the last 30 Parental Control access violations, which include the following items on

Internet traffic:

•

If the user’s Internet access is blocked (time filter)

•

If a blocked keyword is detected in the URL

•

If a blocked domain is detected in the URL

•

If the online lookup service detects that the URL falls under a blocked category

Wireless Pages

The SBG901 Wireless Pages allow you to configure your wireless LAN (WLAN).

You can click any Wireless submenu option to view or change the configuration

information for that option. WPA or WPA2 encryption provides higher security than WEP

encryption, but older wireless client cards may not support the newer WPA or WPA2

encryption methods.

Wireless 802.11 Radio Page

This page allows you to configure the Wireless Radio parameters, including the current

country and channel number.

Field Descriptions for the Wireless 802.11 Radio Page

Field

Description

Wireless Interfaces

Shows the MAC address of the installed wireless card. It is not

configurable.

Wireless

Shows if the wireless network is enabled or disabled.

Country

Restricts the channel set based on the country’s regulatory

requirements. This is a display-only field.

Output Power

Sets a percentage of the output power of the hardware’s

maximum capability.

Channel

Selects the channel for access point (AP) operation. The list of

available channels depends on the designated country.

For this field, the channel selected on the wireless clients on

your WLAN must be the same as the one selected on the

SBG901.

Wireless 802.11 Primary Network Page

This page allows you to configure the Primary wireless network.

Field Descriptions for the Wireless 802.11 Primary Network Page

Field

Description

Primary Network

When set to

Enabled

, beacon frames are transmitted with

the Primary Network SSID.

Network Name (SSID)

Sets the Network Name (also known as SSID) of the Primary

wireless network. This is a 1-32 ASCII character string.

Closed Network

With a closed network, users type the SSID into the client

application instead of selecting the SSID from a list. This

feature makes it slightly more difficult for the user to gain

access.

WPA

Enables or disables Wi-Fi Protected Access encryption.

WPA-PSK

Enables or disables a local WPA pre-shared key passphrase.

WPA2

Enables or disables Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 encryption.

WPA2-PSK

Enables or disables a local WPA2 pre-shared key passphrase.

Description

WPA/WPA2 Encryption

When using WPA or WPA2 authentication, these WPA

encryption modes can be set: TKIP, AES, or TKIP + AES. AES

(Advanced Encryption Standard) provides the strongest

encryption, while TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)

provides strong encryption with improved compatibility. The

TKIP + AES mode allows both TKIP and AES-capable clients

to connect.

WPA Pre-Shared Key

Show Key

Sets the WPA Pre-Shared Key (PSK). This is either an 8-63

ASCII character string or a 64-digit hex number. This is

specified when the Network Authentication method is WPA-

PSK.

Show Key

- When selected, the WPA Pre-Shared Key is

displayed.

RADIUS Server

Sets the RADIUS server IP address to use for client

authentication using the dotted-decimal format

(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

RADIUS Port

Sets the UDP port number of the RADIUS server. The default

is 1812.

RADIUS Key

Sets the shared secret for the RADIUS connection. The key is

a 0 to 255 character ASCII string.

Group Key Rotation Interval

Sets the WPA Group Rekey Interval in seconds. Set to zero to

disable periodic rekeying.

WPA/WPA2 Re-auth Interval

The re-authentication interval is the amount of time the

wireless router can wait before re-establishing authentication

with the CPE.

WEP Encryption

WEP Encryption enables or disables Wired Equivalent Privacy

encryption.

Shared Key Authentication

The WEP protocol uses Shared Key Authentication, which is

an Authentication protocol where the CPE sends an

authentication request to the access point. Then, the access

point sends a challenge text to the CPE.

The CPE uses either the 64-bit or 128-bit key to encrypt the

challenge text and sends the encrypted text to the access

point. The access point will decrypt the encrypted text and

then compare the decrypted message with the original

challenge text. If they are the same, the access point will let

the CPE connect; if it doesn’t match, then the access point

does not let the CPE connect.

Description

802.1x Authentication

This is another type of authentication and is used on top of

WEP. 802.1x Authentication is a much stronger type of

authentication than WEP.

Network Key 1 – 4

Sets the static WEP keys when WEP encryption is enabled.

•

Enter five ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for a

64-bit key.

•

Enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for a

128-bit key.

When both WPA encryption and WEP encryption are enabled,

only keys 2 and 3 are available for WEP encryption.

Current Network Key

Selects the encryption (transmit) key when WEP encryption is

enabled.

PassPhrase

Sets the text to use for WEP key generation.
