Gateway
Wireless Web Page Group
The Wireless web pages group enables a variety of settings that can provide secure and reliable wireless
communications for even the most demanding tech-savvy user.
The Wireless Voice Gateway offers a choice of 802.11b/g/n, WPA and WPA-PSK authentication of your
PCs to the gateway, 64 and 128 bit WEP encryption of communication between the gateway and your
PCs to guaranty security, and an Access Control List function that enables you to restrict wireless access
to only your specific PCs.
Performance
Because your wireless communication travels through the air, the factory default wireless channel setting
may not provide optimum performance in your home if you or your neighbors have other interfering
2.4GHz or 5 GHz devices such as cordless phones. If your wireless PC is experiencing very sluggish or
dramatically slower communication compared with the speed you achieve on your PC that is wired to the
gateway, try changing the channel number. See the 802.11b/g/n Basic Web Page discussion below for
details.
Authentication
Authentication enables you to restrict your gateway from communicating with any remote wireless PCs
that aren’t yours. The following minimum authentication
-related changes to factory defaults are
recommended. See the 802.11b/g/n Basic and Access Control Web Page discussions below for details.
Network Name (SSID)
Set a unique name you choose
Network Type
Set to Open
Access Control List
Enter your wireless PCs’ MAC addresses
Security
Security secures or scrambles messages traveling through the air between your wireless PCs and the
gateway, so they can’t be observed by others. The following minimum security setting changes to factory
defaults are recommended. See the 802.11b/g/n Security Web Page discussion below for details.

the 11N mode. To enable you need to select
Auto
, to disable you need to select
Off,
and so force the AP to operate in 802.11 n-mode.

802.11x Authentication introduction
If you enable the
802.11x authentication
function, you will have to offer the following information-
WPA
(Wi-Fi Protected Access)
/WPA2
:
It must be used in conjunction with an authentication server such as RADIUS to provide centralized
access control and management. It can provide stronger encryption and authentication solution than
none WPA modes.
WPA2
is the second generation of
WPA
security.
WPA-PSK
(WPA-Pre-Shared Key)
/WPA2-PSK
(WPA2-Pre-Shared Key)
:
It is useful for small places without authentication servers such as the network at home. It allows the
use of manually-entered keys or passwords and is designed to be easily set up for home users.
RADIUS Server:
RADIUS Server is a protocol for carrying authentication, authorization, and
configuration information between a Network Access Server which desires to authenticate its links
and a shared Authentication Server. Please key in the IP Address for the RADIUS Server.
RADIUS Port:
Besides the IP address of the RADIUS Server, you have to enter the port number for
the server. Port 1812 is the reserved RADIUS-authentication port described in RFC 2138. Earlier AP
(RADIUS clients) use port 1945. The default value will be shown on this box. You can keep and use
it.
RADIUS Key:
A RADIUS Key is like a password, which is used between IAS and the specific
RADIUS client to verify identity. Both IAS and the RADIUS client must be use the same RADIUS
Key for successful communication to occur. Enter the RADIUS Key.
