from the drop-down list.

Cipher Type

: Select

TKIP and AES

as the cipher suite. The encryption

algorithm used to secure the data communication.

TKIP. Use TKIP only. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides

per-packet key generation and is based on WEP.

AES. Use AES only. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very

secure block based encryption. Note that, if the bridge uses the AES

option, the bridge can associate with the access point only if the

access point is also set to use only AES.

TKIP and AES. The bridge negotiates the cipher type with the access

point, and uses AES when available.

Group Key Update Interval

: Specify the number of seconds before the

group key used for broadcast and multicast data is changed.

Pre-Shared Key

: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63

alphanumeric characters in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information

Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless connection. It cannot be

shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of

ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is

used to generate session keys that are unique for each wireless client.

WPA Enterprise (Wi-Fi Protected Access & 802.1x)

Select the WPA-Enterprise radio button if your wireless network uses WPA

encryption. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was designed to improve upon the

security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The technology is designed

to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. WPA

provides improved data encryption through the Temporal Integrity Protocol

(TKIP), which scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and by adding an

integrity checking feature which makes sure that keys haven’t been tampered

with.

This option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate wireless clients. Wireless

clients should have established the necessary credentials before attempting to

authenticate to the Server through this Gateway. Furthermore, it may be

necessary to configure the RADIUS Server to allow this Gateway to authenticate

users.

: Specify the number of seconds before the

Authentication Timeout

: Specify the number of minutes after which the

client will be required to re-authenticate.

RADIUS Server IP Address

: Specify the IP address of the RADIUS server.

RADIUS Server Port

: Specify the port number of the RADIUS server, the

default port is 1812.

RADIUS Server Shared Secret

: Specify the pass-phrase that is matched on

the RADIUS Server.

MAC Address Authentication:

Place a check in this box if you would like the

user to always authenticate using the same computer.

Optional Backup RADIUS server

: This option enables configuration of an

optional second RADIUS server. A second RADIUS server can be used as

backup for the primary RADIUS server. The second RADIUS server is

consulted only when the primary server is not available or not responding.

WAN

The device offers several types of WAN connections in order to connect to the

Internet.

Static IP Address

Dynamic IP Address

PPPoE

PPTP

Select the type of Internet Connection from the drop-down list.

Static IP Address Configuration

The WAN interface can be configured as Static IP address. In this type of

connection, your ISP provides you with a dedicated IP address (which does not

change as DHCP).

Select

Static IP

from the

My Internet Connection

drop-down list.

IP Address:

Specify the IP address for this device, which is assigned by your

ISP.

Page 34 / 74

Subnet Mask:

Specify the subnet mask for this IP address, which is assigned

by your ISP.

Default Gateway:

Specify the IP address of the default gateway, which is

assigned by your ISP.

Primary / Secondary DNS Address:

Specify the primary and secondary IP

address, which is assigned by your ISP.

MTU

: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines

the largest packet size (in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN

devices send larger packets, the router will break them into smaller packets.

Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the connection to your ISP.

Typical values are 1500 bytes for an Ethernet connection and 1492 bytes for a

PPPoE connection. If the router's MTU is set too high, packets will be

fragmented downstream. If the router's MTU is set too low, the router will

fragment packets unnecessarily and in extreme cases may be unable to

establish some connections. In either case, network performance can suffer.

MAC Address

: If you need to change the MAC address of the router's WAN-

side Ethernet interface, either type in an alternate MAC address (for example,

the MAC address of the router initially connected to the ISP) or click on

Address)

Page 35 / 74

Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) Configuration

The WAN interface can be configured as a DHCP Client in which the ISP provides

the IP address to the device. This is also known as Dynamic IP.

Select the

Dynamic IP (DHCP)

from the

My Internet Connection

drop-down

list.

Host Name

: Specify a host name to define your system or connection.

Use Unicasting

: This option is normally turned off, and should remain off as

long as the WAN-side DHCP server correctly provides an IP address to the

router. However, if the router cannot obtain an IP address from the DHCP

server, the DHCP server may be one that works better with unicast responses.

In this case, turn the Unicasting option on, and observe whether the router

can obtain an IP address. In this mode, the router accepts unicast responses

from the DHCP server instead of broadcast responses.

Primary / Secondary DNS Address:

Specify the primary and secondary IP

address, which are assigned by your ISP.
