Option Description Band The new amendment allows IEEE 802.11g units to fall back to speeds of 11 Mbps, so IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g devices can coexist in the same network. The two standards apply to the 2.4 GHz frequency band. IEEE 802.11g creates data-rate parity at 2.4 GHz with the IEEE 802.11a standard, which has a 54 Mbps rate at 5 GHz. (IEEE 802.11a has other differences compared to IEEE 802.11b or g, such as offering more channels.
Basic Rate Setting basic transmit rate. Fragmentation A threshold, specified in bytes, that determines whether packets Threshold will be fragmented and at what size. On an 802.11 WLAN, packets that exceed the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into, smaller units suitable for the circuit size. Packets smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value are not fragmented. Enter a value between 256 and 2346.
Xpress TM Technology 54g TM Mode Xpress Technology is compliant with draft specifications of two planned wireless industry standards. Set the mode to 54g Auto for the widest compatibility. Select the mode to 54g Performance for the fastest performance among 54g certified equipment. Set the mode to 54g LRS if you are experiencing difficulty with legacy 802.11b equipment. 54g Protection In Auto mode the router will use RTS/CTS to improve 802.11g performance in mixed 802.11g/802.11b networks.
7.6 Station Info This page shows authenticated wireless stations and their status. MAC Lists the MAC address of all the stations.

Appendix B: Firewall Stateful Packet Inspection Refers to an architecture, where the firewall keeps track of packets on each connection traversing all its interfaces and makes sure they are valid. This is in contrast to static packet filtering which only examines a packet based on the information in the packet header. Denial of Service attack Is an incident in which a user or organization is deprived of the services of a resource they would normally expect to have.
Destination IP Address/Destination Subnet Mask: Packets with the particular "Destination IP Address/Destination Subnet Mask" combination will be dropped. Destination Port: This can take on either a single port number or a range of port numbers. Packets having a destination port equal to this value or falling within the range of port numbers (portX : portY) will be dropped. Examples: 1. Filter Name : Out_Filter1 Protocol : TCP Source Address : 192.168.1.45 Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.
Incoming IP Filtering: Helps in setting rules to ACCEPT packets from the WAN interface. By default all incoming IP traffic from WAN is Blocked, if the Firewall is Enabled. By setting up one or more filters, particular packet types coming from the WAN can be Accepted. Filter Name: User defined Filter Name. Protocol: Can take on any values from: TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP or ICMP Source IP Address/Source Subnet Mask: Packets with the particular "Source IP Address/Source Subnet Mask" combination will be accepted.
This filter will ACCEPT all TCP packets coming from WAN interface mer_0_35/nas_0_35 with IP Address/Sub. Mask 210.168.219.45/16 having a source port of 80 irrespective of the destination. All other incoming packets on this interface are DROPPED. 2. Filter Name : In_Filter2 Protocol : UDP Source Address : 210.168.219.45 Source Subnet Mask : 255.255.0.0 Source Port : 5060:6060 Dest. Address :192.168.1.45 Dest. Sub. Mask : 255.255.255.0 Dest.
Source MAC Address: Of the form, XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. Frames with this particular source address will be Forwarded/Dropped depending on whether the Global Policy is Blocked/Forwarded. Frame Direction: LAN <=> WAN --> All Frames coming/going to/from LAN or to/from WAN. WAN => LAN --> All Frames coming from WAN destined to LAN. LAN => WAN --> All Frames coming from LAN destined to WAN User needs to select the interface on which this rule is applied. Examples: 1.
Daytime Parental Control This feature restricts access of a selected LAN device to an outside Network through the router, as per chosen days of the week and the chosen times. User Name: Name of the Filter. Browser's MAC Address: Displays MAC address of the LAN device on which the browser is running. Other MAC Address: If restrictions are to be applied to a device other than the one on which the browser is running, the MAC address of that LAN device is entered.
