This screen also allows you to set the WBR-3600 Router back to its factory default configuration. Any existing settings will be deleted. An example Config File screen is shown below.
Logs The Logs record various types of activity on the WBR-3600 Router. This data is useful for troubleshooting, but enabling all logs will generate a large amount of data and adversely affect performance. Since only a limited amount of log data can be stored in the WBR-3600 Router, log data can also be E-mailed to your PC. Use the E-mail screen to configure this feature. Figure 58: Logs Screen Data - Logs Screen Logs Current Time The current time on the WBR-3600 Router is displayed.
Include in Log Include (Checkboxes) Use these checkboxes to determine which events are included in the log. Checking all options will increase the size of the log, so it is good practice to disable any events which are not really required. • Attempted access to blocked sites - If checked, attempted Internet accesses which were blocked are logged.
E-mail This screen allows you to E-mail Logs and Alerts. A sample screen is shown below. Figure 59: E-mail Screen Data - E-mail Screen E-Mail Notification Turn E-mail Notification on Check this box to enable this feature. If enabled, the E-mail address information (below) must be provided. Send to this Email address Enter the E-mail address the Log is to be sent to. The E-mail will also show this address as the Sender's address.
E-mail Alerts Send E-mail alerts immediately You can choose to have alerts E-mailed to you, by checking the desired checkboxes. The WBR-3600 Router can send an immediate alert when it detects a significant security incident such as • A known hacker attack is directed at your IP address • A computer on the Internet scans your IP address for open ports • Someone on your LAN (Local Area Network) tries to visit a blocked site.
Diagnostics This screen allows you to perform a "Ping" or a "DNS lookup". These activities can be useful in solving network problems. An example Network Diagnostics screen is shown below. Figure 60: Network Diagnostics Screen Data - Network Diagnostics Screen Ping Ping this IP Address Enter the IP address you wish to ping. The IP address can be on your LAN, or on the Internet. Note that if the address is on the Internet, and no connection currently exists, you could get a "Timeout" error.
Remote Administration If enabled, this feature allows you to manage the WBR-3600 ADSL2+ Router via the Internet. Figure 61: Remote Administration Screen Data - Remote Administration Screen Remote Administration Enable Remote Management Check to allow administration/management via the Internet. (To connect, see below). If Disabled, this device will ignore Administration connection attempts from the Internet.
IP address to define the allowed range. For security, you should restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical. To connect from a remote PC via the Internet 1. Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser. 2. In the "Address" bar, enter "HTTP://" followed by the Internet IP Address of the WBR-3600 Router. If the port number is not 80, the port number is also required. (After the IP Address, enter ":" followed by the port number.) e.g. HTTP://123.123.123.
Routing Overview • If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing" page completely. • If the WBR-3600 Router is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the "Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers. • If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the WBR-3600 Router is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.
Figure 62: Routing Screen Data - Routing Screen RIP RIP Direction Select the desired RIP Direction. RIP Version Select RIP-1/RIP-2B/RIP-2M from the drop down list box. Static Routing Static Routing Table Entries This list shows all entries in the Routing Table. • This area shows details of the selected item in the list. • Change any the properties as required, then click the "Edit" button to save the changes to the selected entry.
Configuring Other Routers on your LAN It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the WBR-3600 Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the WBR-3600 Router as the Default Route or Default Gateway. Local Router The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the WBR-3600 Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the WBR-3600 Router itself.
Static Routing - Example Figure 63: Routing Example For the WBR-3600's Routing Table For the LAN shown above, with 2 routers and 3 LAN segments, the WBR-3600 Router requires 2 entries as follows. Entry 1 (Segment 1) Destination IP Address 192.168.1.0 Network Mask 255.255.255.0 (Standard Class C) Gateway IP Address 192.168.0.100 (WBR-3600 Router's local Router) Metric 2 Entry 2 (Segment 2) Destination IP Address 192.168.2.0 Network Mask 255.255.255.0 (Standard Class C) Gateway IP Address 192.
Upgrade Firmware The firmware (software) in the WBR-3600 Router can be upgraded using your Web Browser. You must first download the upgrade file, then select Upgrade Firmware on the Administration menu. You will see a screen like the following. Figure 64: Router Upgrade Screen To perform the Firmware Upgrade: 1. Click the Browse button and navigate to the location of the upgrade file. 2. Select the upgrade file. Its name will appear in the Upgrade File field. 3.
8 Chapter 8 Modem Mode This Chapter explains configuration and operation when in "Modem" or "Bridge" mode”. Overview There are two modes available on the Mode screen. • Router - Both the ADSL2+ Modem and the Router features are operational. In this mode, this device can provide shared Internet Access to all your LAN users. Also, by default, it acts a DHCP Server, providing an IP address and related information to all Wireless and LAN users. • Modem - Only the ADSL2+ Modem component is operational.
Home Screen If in Modem mode, the home screen will look like the example below. Figure 65: Home Screen - Modem Mode Note that the menu has changed, many of the options in Router mode are not available. The screens available are: • Mode - change back to Router mode, if desired. • LAN - set IP address, mask and gateway. This is the same as in Router mode, except that the DHCP server is not available while in Modem mode. • Wireless - this screen, and related sub-screens, is the same as in Router mode.

Appendix A Troubleshooting A This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions. Overview This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the WBR-3600 Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the WBR-3600 Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1: Can't connect to the WBR-3600 Router to configure it.
and power connections.) • Check the WBR-3600 Router's status screen to see if it is working correctly. Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the WBR-3600 Router Solution 2: The WBR-3600 Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent. For incoming connections, you must use the Virtual Server or Firewall Rules to specify the PC which will receive the incoming traffic. You can also use the DMZ function.
devices should be shielded or relocated. • RF Shielding Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close to the WBR-3600 Router.
Appendix B About Wireless LANs B This Appendix provides some background information about using Wireless LANs (WLANs). Modes Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes: • Ad-hoc • Infrastructure Ad-hoc Mode Ad-hoc mode does not require an Access Point or a wired (Ethernet) LAN. Wireless Stations (e.g. notebook PCs with wireless cards) communicate directly with each other. Infrastructure Mode In Infrastructure Mode, one or more Access Points are used to connect Wireless Stations (e.g.
performance. This capability is called Roaming. (Access Points do not have or require Roaming capabilities.) Channels The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication. • Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channels are available.
The same encryption method must be used. The most common encryption method is TKIP. Another widelysupported method is AES. Encryption WPA-802.1x This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA standard. If this option is used: • The Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. • Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
