Traffic Meter
Traffic metering allows you to monitor the volume of Internet traffic passing through your
modem router’s Internet port. With the Traffic Meter utility, you can set limits for traffic volume,
set a monthly limit, and get a live update of traffic usage.
To monitor traffic on your modem router:
1.
Select
Advanced > Traffic Meter
.
2.
To enable the Traffic Meter, select the
Enable
Traffic Meter
check box.
3.
If you would like to record and restrict the
volume of Internet traffic, select the
Traffic
volume control
by
radio button. You can
select one of the following options for
controlling the traffic volume:
•
No limit
. No restriction is applied when
the traffic limit is reached.
•
Download only
. The restriction is
applied to incoming traffic only.
•
Both directions
. The restriction is
applied to both incoming and outgoing
traffic.
4.
You can limit the amount of data traffic
allowed per month:
•
By specifying how many Mbytes per
month are allowed.
•
By specifying how many hours of traffic
are allowed.
5.
Set the Traffic Counter to begin at a specific
time and date.
6.
Set up Traffic Control to issue a warning
message before the monthly limit of Mbytes
or hours is reached. You can select one of the following to occur when the limit is attained:
•
The Internet LED flashes green or amber.
•
The Internet connection is disconnected and disabled.
7.
Set up Internet Traffic Statistics to monitor the data traffic.

Wireless Bridging and Repeating Networks
With the modem router, you can build large bridged wireless networks that form an
IEEE
802.11n Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Using the modem router with other
access points (APs) and wireless devices, you can connect clients using their MAC
addresses rather than IP addresses. Here are some examples of wireless bridged
configurations:
•
Point-to-point bridge
. The modem router communicates with another bridge-mode
wireless station. See
Set Up a Point-to-Point Bridge
on page
89.
•
Multi-point bridge
. The modem router is the “master” for a group of bridge-mode wireless
stations. Then all traffic is sent to this master, rather than to other access points. See
Set
Up a Multi-Point Bridge
on page
90.
•
Repeater with wireless client association
. Sends all traffic to the remote access point.
See
Repeater with Wireless Client Association
on page
91.
The wireless bridging and repeating feature uses the default security profile to send and
receive traffic.

Select
Advanced > Wireless Repeating Function
to display the following screen:
•
Enable Wireless Repeating Function
. Select this check box if you want to use the
wireless repeating function.
•
Wireless MAC of this router
. This field displays the MAC address for your modem router
for your reference. You will need to enter this MAC address in the corresponding Wireless
Repeating Function screen of the other access point you are using.
•
Wireless Repeater
. If your modem router is the repeater, select this check box.
•
Repeater IP Address
. If your modem router is the repeater, enter the IP address of the
other access point.
•
Disable Wireless Client Association
. If your modem router is the repeater, selecting
this check box means that wireless clients cannot associate with it. Only LAN client
associations are allowed.
-
If you are setting up a point-to-point bridge, select this check box.
-
If you want all client traffic to go through the other access point (repeater with wireless
client association), leave this check box cleared.
•
Base Station MAC Address
. If your modem router is the repeater, enter the MAC
address for the access point that is the base station.
•
Wireless Base Station
. If your modem router is the base station, select this check box.
•
Disable Wireless Client Association
. If your modem router is the base station, selecting
this check box means that wireless clients cannot associate with it. Only LAN client
associations are allowed.
•
Repeater MAC Address (1 through 4)
. If your modem router is the base station, it can
act as the “parent” of up to 4 other access points. Enter the MAC addresses of the other
access points in these fields.

Set Up a Point-to-Point Bridge
In point-to-point bridge mode, the modem router communicates as an access point with
another bridge-mode wireless station. As a bridge, wireless client associations are disabled.
Only wired clients can be connected. Use wireless security to protect this communication.
The following figure shows an example of point-to-point bridge mode.

AP 1 (DGN2200 modem router)
point-to-point bridge mode.
Figure 14. Point-to-point bridge example
To set up a point-to-point bridge configuration:
1.
Set up your modem router (AP 1) on LAN Segment 1 in point-to-point bridge mode.
a.
In the Wireless Repeating Function screen, select the
Enable Wireless Repeating
Function
check box.
b.
Select either the
Wireless Repeater
or
Wireless Base Station
radio button.
c.
Select the corresponding
Disable Wireless Client Association
check box.
d.
Enter the MAC address for the other access point in the bridge. Depending on your
selection in step a, use either the Base Station MAC Address field or the Repeater
MAC Address 1 field.
e.
Click
Apply
.
2.
Set up the other access point (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in point-to-point bridge mode.
If your modem router is the repeater, then set up AP 2 as the base station; otherwise set
up AP 2 as the repeater.
3.
Set up both access points and verify that they use the same SSID, channel, authentication
mode, if any, and WEP security settings if security is in use.
4.
Disable the DHCP server on AP 2. AP 1 will then be the DHCP server.
5.
Verify connectivity across LAN Segment 1 and LAN Segment 2. A computer on either LAN
segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers of any other
PCs or servers connected to LAN Segment 1 or LAN Segment 2.

Set Up a Multi-Point Bridge
Multi-point bridge mode allows a router to bridge to multiple peer access points
simultaneously. Wireless client associations are disabled. Only wired clients can be
connected. Multi-point bridge mode configuration includes the following steps:
•
Set up the modem router for wireless repeating as the base station, and specify the MAC
addresses of the access points that are repeaters.
•
Set up the other access points for wireless repeating as repeaters, and specify the MAC
address of the modem router as the base station.
•
Use wireless security to protect this traffic.
