NBG334W automatically generates a WEP key.

WEP

Encryption

Select

64-bit WEP

or

128-bit WEP

to allow data encryption.

ASCII

Select this option in order to enter ASCII characters as the WEP keys.

HEX

Select this option to enter hexadecimal characters as the WEP keys.

The preceding “0x” is entered automatically.

Key 1 to Key 4

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the NBG334W and the wireless stations

must use the same WEP key for data transmission.

If you chose

64-bit WEP

, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal

characters ("0-9", "A-F").

If you chose

128-bit WEP

, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal

characters

("0-9", "A-F").

You must configure at least one key, only one key can be activated at any one time.

The default key is key 1.

Connection Wizard: STEP 3: Internet Configuration

The NBG334W offers three Internet connection types. They are

Ethernet

,

PPP over

Ethernet

or

PPTP

. The wizard attempts to detect which WAN connection type you are using.

If the wizard does not detect a connection type, you must select one from the drop-down list

box. Check with your ISP to make sure you use the correct type.

This wizard screen varies according to the connection type that you select.

PPPoE Connection

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an

IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard specifying how a host personal computer

interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access

to high-speed data networks.

For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with

existing access control systems (for instance, RADIUS).

One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network

services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to

easily create and offer new IP services for specific users.

Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it

requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber’s site.

By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG334W (rather than individual computers), the

computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG334W does that

part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.

Refer to the appendix for more information on PPPoE.

3.4.3

PPTP Connection

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables transfers of data

from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/

IP-based networks.

PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public

networks, such as the Internet.

Refer to the appendix for more information on PPTP.
