Description

Primary Network

Enables or disables the primary network.

Network Name

Allows you to define the unique SSID of the cable modem or

accept the default. Refer to

Understanding Default Values and

Logins on page 8

for more information on the SSID.

Closed Network

Hides the selected SSID when enabled so it is not visible to

wireless clients unless manually set up on the client. If

disabled, the SSID is visible. Refer to

Enabling a Closed

Network on page 64

to set up a closed network.

AP Isolate

Prevents wireless client stations from communicating with

each other when enabled.

WPA

Enables or disables the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)

security protocol. WPA is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i

standard. Key differences between WPA and WEP are user

authentication and improved data encryption. Setting WPA

alone with a pre-shared key requires a RADIUS or TACACS

server for authentication. This method is mostly used in large

enterprise implementations.

WPA-PSK

Enables or disables WPA Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK). If you

do not have an external RADIUS server, use WPA-PSK,

which requires a single (identical) password entered into

wireless gateway and wireless client. As long as the

passwords match, a client is granted access to the wireless

LAN. This is the default residential subscriber setting and

uses TKIP encryption.

WPA2

Enables or disables WPA2. This advanced protocol is

certified through Wi-Fi Alliance's WPA2 program and

implements the mandatory elements of 802.11i. In particular,

it has an AES-based algorithm (CCMP) that is considered

fully secure. Setting WPA2 alone with a pre-shared key

requires a RADIUS or TACACS server for authentication.

This method is mostly used in large enterprise

implementations.

WPA2-PSK

Enables or disables WPA2-PSK. If you do not have an

external RADIUS server, use WPA2-PSK, which requires a

single (identical) password entered into wireless gateway and

wireless client. As long as the passwords match, a client is

granted access to the wireless LAN. This is the

recommended residential subscriber option. It is more secure

than WPA-PSK and uses AES encryption.

WPA/WPA2 Encryption

Sets WPA/WPA2 encryption to AES or TKIP+AES. The

default is AES.

WPA Pre-Shared Key

Displays (checked) or hides (unchecked) the WPA key. The

encryption mechanisms for WPA and WPA-PSK are the

same, except that WPA-PSK uses a simple common

password instead of user-specific credentials. Refer to

Understanding LED Operations on page 8

for the default value

of the shared key.

RADIUS Server

Defines the IP address of the RADIUS server, if used.

RADIUS Port

Defines a RADIUS port number when WPA or 802.1x network

authentication is selected.

RADIUS Key

Defines the RADIUS Key when WPA or 802.1x network

authentication is selected.

Group Key Rotation Interval

Allows the device to generate the best possible random

group key and update all the key-management capable

stations periodically.

WPA/WPA2 Re-auth Interval

Sends a new group key to all clients at the specified interval

for a wireless router (if using WPA-PSK key management) or

RADIUS server (if using WPA key management). The re-

keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically

changing the WEP key for a wireless access point and all

stations in the WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting the WPA

Group Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA-PSK

mode.

WEP Encryption

Enables or disables WEP encryption. If you do not have

wireless clients that can use WPA or WPA2, you can use WEP

key encrypting. A higher bit key offers better security. WEP

encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless

stations and the DVW3201B to keep network communications

private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications in a

network. Both the wireless stations and the DVW3201B must use

the same WEP key. Data Encryption can be set to WEP

128-

bit, 64-bit,

Disable.

Shared Key Authentication

Defines Shared Key Authentication as optional or required.

Shared Key is an authentication method used by wireless

LANs, which follow the IEEE 802.11 standard. Wireless

devices authenticate each other by using a secret key that is

kept by both devices.

802.1x Authentication

Enables or disables 802.1x to authenticate wireless clients.

Network Key 1-4

Pre-defines up to 4 keys for 64-bit or 128-bit (64-bit keys

require 10 hexadecimal digits) (128-bit key require 26

hexadecimal digits).

Current Network Key

Selects one of the four pre-defined keys as the current

network key.

Passphrase

Sets the WEP encryption key by entering a word or group of

printable characters in the Passphrase box and clicking

Generate WEP keys. These characters are case sensitive.

Generate WEP Keys

Forces the device to generate 4 WEP keys automatically.

Automatic Security Configuration

— Sets up WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) for devices connecting

to the wireless network.

WPS/Disabled

Enables or disables WPS option. When enabled, the

following additional fields are available:

WPS Config State

Defines if the WPS has been configured or not.

Device Name

Defines a name for this wireless cable modem for WPS.

Enabling a Closed Network

You can enable the Closed Network option so the SSID cannot be broadcast or seen by

others.

Steps

To enable a closed network:

Disable the WPS automatic security configuration.

2. Click

Apply

3. Access the pull down menu for the

Closed Network

4. Choose

Enabled

to enable a closed network.

WPS Setup AP

UUID

Defines the universal unique identifier (UUID) for this access

point.

Defines the Personal Identification Number for this access

point.

WPS Add Client

Add a client

Activates wireless protected setup (WPS) security on the

device.

To add a client:

1.Click Add a client. The WPS Add Client screen is

displayed.

2.Click PUSH on the WPS Add Client screen.The WPS

button is activated on the device, indicated by a flashing

white light on top of the unit.

3.Press the WPS button on the device.

Client PIN

Defines a PIN number for client access.

Authorized Client MAC

Defines the MAC address of the authorized client.
