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,
or
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:
1.
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.
PIN
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:

Defines the network name for which you are setting access
control parameters.
MAC Restrict Mode
Controls wireless access to your network by MAC address.
Disabled
turns off MAC restrictions and allows any
wireless client to connect to this device. However, if you
use other security mechanisms for access to the wireless
network, clients must still adhere to those restrictions.
Allow
creates a list of wireless clients that can connect to
the wireless network. Enter the MAC addresses of these
clients in the MAC Addresses fields. MAC addresses not
on the list, are not allowed access to your wireless
network.
Deny
creates a list of wireless clients that you do not
want to have access to your wireless network. Enter the
