WLAN Configuration

This setting is available for wireless router only.

This section shows you how to configure the wireless LAN setting. To types are provided here, Basic Setup and

Association Control.

Basic Setup

Wireless SSID (Service Set Identity):

A name that uniquely identifies a wireless domain. All wireless clients that

want to communicate with the ADSL Router must have the same SSID as it.

Frequency Domain:

The frequency in which the radio links are about to be established.

Desired Channel:

The frequency in which the radio links are about to be established. Select channel that you

want. Usually the wireless clients will scan the whole operable channels and then select the

desired communications channel automatically.

Authentication Type

:

The ADSL Router supports three authentication types:

Open System,

Shared key

and

Auto

.

This should be considered with the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) mechanism.

Wired Equivalent Privacy Mechanism

The privacy security function can enhance wireless media security by encryption technology. All wireless clients

must set the same encryption key to maintain the tightened communication with the ADSL Router properly. The

Authenticate Algorithm options are:

When the wired Equivalent Privacy Mechanism is Turns off. Using Open-key as authentication algorithm, you are

running the risk of allowing some unauthorized wireless LAN cards that have the capability of eavesdropping your

SSID to associate itself to the device.

Turns on encryption. Wired Equivalent Privacy Mechanism is Turns on. You should select the encryption key length

as 64 or 128 bit key. Then enter the encryption key in Key Entry fields.

Note: When Wired Equivalent Privacy Mechanism is enabled, the wireless client must be

configured with exactly the same encryption level (64 or 128-bit) and encryption key as

identified in the ADSL Router, so that access to the unit is allowed.

In addition, you can press the

Generate

button to use the passcode for generating WEP keys.

Association Control

You can enable this control to associate to your router with other wireless clients. Select

Enabled

and enter the MAC

address on the Client’s MAC Address box. Then click

Apply

.

WAN Configuration

The ADSL Router supports for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) over ADSL. To set up connections over the

WAN, you have to define ATM PVC interface for each remote connection. On this page, you can create, modify and

delete PVC interface.

You can select an existing ATM PVC interface and click

Modify

to edit its parameters or click

Delete

if you want to

delete it.

To add a new PVC interface, click

Create a new PVC

and follow these steps:

1.

Select one of connection type in the Data Mode (RFC1483 Bridged, RFC1483 Routed, RFC1483 MER, PPPoA

or PPPoE) and click

Next

.

2.

Fill in the VPI/VCI values and select ATM Service Type, Encapsulation Type and PCR.

3.

Click

Apply

.

4.

At RFC1483 Routed, RFC1483 MER and PPP mode Configuration, you can select Specify an IP address or

Server assigned IP address.

5.

Unless your ATM PVC is set on RFC1483 Bridged mode, you can check NAT box to enable NAT function.

6.

If you are using PPP configuration mode, you need to fill in the user name and password and you can set the

PPP session to Dial on demand or Always on mode.

Parameter Description

The parameters are described as below:

VPI (Virtual Path Identifier)

: Identifies the virtual path between endpoints in an ATM network. The valid range is

from 0 to 255.

VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier)

: Identifies the virtual channel endpoints in an ATM network. The valid range is

from 32 to 4095 (1 to 31 is reserved for well-known protocols).

ATM Service Type

:

Currently, the ADSL Router supports the

UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate)

service type.

PCR (Peak Cell Rate):

Specify the PCR cells per second.

Encapsulation Type:

There are two types for your choosing, VC MUX or LLC/SNAP. Select the encapsulation

based on the setting of the ISP. Consult your ISP for this information.

Local WAN IP Address

: On Router mode, selecting

None

means you have public LAN IP address setting. If you

select

Specify an IP address

, you can specify a WAN IP provided by ISP for your router. If

Server assigned IP address

is selected, the router will get a dynamic WAN IP address

whenever it connects to the remote server or ISP.

Note:

If a fixed WAN IP is entered, note that this IP address and the subnet mask could not

be the same with the public LAN interface.

Enable NAT on this interface

: If your LAN interface is set on primary LAN you should check the box of the Enable

Network Address Translation. NAT translates a private IP within one network to a public IP

address.

User Name/Password

: The user name and password used to access the remote server or ISP.
