Lease Time: DHCP lease time to the DHCP client IP Pool Starting/Ending Address: The pool of IP’s that can be allocated to clients Domain Name: To assign a Domain Name (optional) Clients List: Check the DHCP client list. Fixed Mapping: Take you to the Security > MAC Control page.
Wireless Settings Wireless - Enabled by default. Disabling this will turn off the wireless feature of this unit. Network ID (SSID): Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name designated for a specific wireless local area network (WLAN). The SSID's factory default setting is WBR-6800. The SSID can be easily changed to establish a new wireless network. Note: SSID names may contain up to 32 ASCII characters.
Security: Security - You may select from three levels of encryption to secure your wireless network: No Encryption, WEP, 802.1x RADIUS, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK (AES), WPA2 (AES), WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK and WPA / WPA2. LevelOne recommends WPA2-PSK (AES) for simple and secure wireless encryption. After configuring the wireless security settings on the WBR-6800, you will also need to configure the same settings on your wireless adapter before you attempt a wireless connection.
802.1X To use this security feature, you will need to have a RADIUS server on your network to authenticate access. Please type in the details for your RADIUS server. RADIUS Server IP Address, or the RADIUS server’s domain-name. RADIUS Shared Key Key value shared by the RADIUS server and this router. This key value is consistent with the key value in the RADIUS server.
WPA-PSK This security is more secure compared to WEP. Select which type of encryption to use (either TKIP or AES) and then enter the key in the Passphrase field. The field needs to be between 8 and 63 characters long and can be any combination of letters and numbers if ASCII setting is used.
WPA/WPA2 Similar to 802.1X security but with TKIP or AES Encryption. You will need a RADIUS server for authentication. Please enter the details of your RADIUS server. RADIUS Server IP address or the RADIUS server’s domain-name. Port number of the RADIUS Server Enter the RADIUS Shared Key Key value shared by the RADIUS server and this router. This key value is consistent with the key value in the RADIUS server.
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA / WPA2-PSK This security is more secure compared to WEP. It will use either TKIP or AES for enhanced security. Please enter the key in the Passphrase field. The field can be between 8 and 63 characters long and can be any combination of letters and numbers under ASCII format.
WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) WPS feature is following the Wi-Fi Alliance WPS standard and it eases the set up of securityenabled Wi-Fi networks in the home and small office environment. It reduces the user steps required to configure a network and supports two methods that are familiar to most consumers to configure a network and enable security. Please ensure you have wireless security set up on the WBR-6800 before initializing WPS functions.
Enter PIN number of Wireless Adapter It is also possible to use the PIN number you have set on the wireless adapter. Set the adapter as Enrollee and enter the PIN you want.
Push Button Method Select the “Push Button” mode and click the “Trigger” button. An alternative is to press the WPS button at the back of the router until the WLAN light starts flashing. This indicates that WPS is activated. Then press and hold the WPS button on your wireless client for 1 second.
If your device has no physical WPS push button, then you can push the software button in the utility.
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) WDS operation as defined by the IEEE802.11 standard has been made available. Using WDS it is possible to wirelessly connect Access Points, and in doing so extend a wired infrastructure to locations where cabling is not possible or inefficient to implement. For maximum compatibility, it is recommended that WDS be set up using only the same models, in this case, WBR-6800. Also note that the standard only supports WEP encryption.
Forwarding Rules This page allows you to configure the port forwarding management of the WBR-6800. Use the menu on the left to access the setting pages. The port forwarding feature is required because the Wireless Router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) will block incoming traffic from the Internet to the LAN if the specific port mapping is not set up in the NAT table.
Virtual Server A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the Server IP. Virtual Server can work with Scheduling Rules, and give user more flexibility on Access control. For Detail, please refer to Scheduling Rule (Advanced Setting > Schedule).
For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.0.1, a Web server (port 80) at 192.168.0.2, and a VPN server at 192.168.0.6, then you need to specify the following virtual server mapping table: You can specify different ports to be used for Public and Private source and destinations. Public Port Private Port Server IP Enable 20 21 192.168.0.2 V 80 80 192.168.0.3 V 1721 1723 192.168.0.
Special AP Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony, etc. Because of the firewall function, these applications cannot work with the WBR-6800. The Special Applications feature allows some of these applications to work with this product. If this fails to make an application work, try setting that computer as the DMZ host instead. Please refer to Forwarding Rules > Miscellaneous section. 1.
Miscellaneous Items IP Address of DMZ Host Here you can set the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host. It is a computer that does not have the WBR-6800’s built-in firewall applied. It allows the computer to be exposed to unrestricted communication to the Internet. This setting is most commonly used for Internet gaming, Video conferencing, Internet telephony and other special applications. To enable DMZ, enter the IP address of the PC and tick on Enable. UPnP Setting The WBR-6800 supports Universal Plug and Play.
Security Settings This section allows you to configure the security management of the unit. Click on the menu on the left to access the respective setting page.
Packet Filter Packet Filters allows you to control what packets are allowed to pass through the WBR-6800. The Outbound Filter applies to all outbound packets and the Inbound Filter only applies to packets that are destined to Virtual Servers or the DMZ Host only. To enable the Outbound Filter, tick the Enable tick box. There are two types of filtering policies: 1. Allow all to pass except those match the specified rules 2.
For source or destination IP address, you can define a single IP address (192.168.0.1) or a range of IP addresses (192.168.0.100 – 192.168.0.200). An empty implies all IP addresses. For source or destination port, you can define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999). You also need to add prefix "T" or "U" to specify TCP or UDP protocol, for example T80, U53, U20002999. No prefix indicates both TCP and UDP are defined. An empty implies all port addresses.
Domain Filter The Domain Filter enables you to prevent users from accessing specific domain addresses (web sites). To enable Domain Filter, make sure to tick the Enable tick box. Log DNS Query: Check if you want to log the action when someone accesses the specific URLs. Privilege HOST / Netmask: Setting a group of computers that have privilege to access the internet without any restrictions. Domain Suffix: A suffix of URL to be restricted; For example, ".com", "xxx.com".
URL Blocking URL Blocking will block LAN computers from connecting to a pre-defined Web Site. The major difference between Domain Filter and URL Blocking is that Domain Filter requires the user to input suffixes (eg: xxx.com, ttt.net) while URL Blocking only requires user to input a keyword. In other words, Domain filter can block specific website, while URL Blocking can block hundreds of websites by simply a keyword. To enable URL Blocking, make sure to tick Enable.
MAC Address Control The Domain Filter enables you to prevent users from accessing specific domain addresses (web sites). To enable MAC Address Control, make sure to tick on Enable. There are two types of controls available: Connection Control: To control which wired and wireless clients can connect to this device. If a client is denied access, it means the client cannot access the Internet either. Choose “allow” or “deny” to allow or deny the clients whose MAC addresses are not in the list.
MAC Address MAC address indicates a specific client. IP Address Expected IP address of the corresponding client. Keep it empty if you don't care its IP address. C When "Connection control" is checked, check "C" will allow the corresponding client to connect to this device. A When "Association control" is checked, check "A" will allow the corresponding client to associate to the wireless LAN. In this page, we provide the following Combo box and button to help you to input the MAC address.
Miscellaneous Items This page allows you to change various miscellaneous security settings. Remote Administrator Host/Port: By default, only LAN user can browse the built-in web configuration pages to perform administration task. This feature enables you to perform administration task from the Internet. If this feature is enabled, only the specified IP address can perform remote administration. If the specified IP address is 0.0.0.0/0, any host can connect to this product to perform administration task.
Advanced Settings These pages allow you to configure the more advanced settings on the unit.
System Time This page allows you to set the time settings of the WBR-6800. There are three ways to set up the System Time of the WBR-6800. 1. Get Date and Time by NTP Protocol: Selected if you want to get the Date and Time from an NTP server. A Time Server and time zone is required. Once entered, click Sync Now to sync the time with the Time Server. 2. Set Date and Time using PC’s Date and Time: Set the Date and Time using the settings from your computer. 3.
System Log The WBR-6800 supports both Syslog (using UDP packets) and E-Mail alert. For Syslog, you will need to enter the IP address of the host computer that will be receiving the syslog messages and tick on Enable. For E-Mail alert, you will need to define the following: E-Mail Alert: Tick Enable to enable this feature. SMTP Server IP and Port: Enter the IP address and port of the SMTP server, separated by “:” (no quotes).
Dynamic DNS Dynamic DNS is a feature that allows users to set up a static domain name even when they have a dynamic internet IP address. So even if your IP address changes every time you connect to your ISP, the IP address can be mapped to a host name so that anyone who wants to connect to the WBR6800, or any services behind the router from the internet can just use the Dynamic DNS hostname instead of the IP address which might change.
SNMP Setting SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is designed to give users the ability to remotely manage a computer or network device. To enable SNMP, please set the following: Enable SNMP: You must check either Local or Remote or both to enable SNMP function. If Local is checked, this unit will respond to requests from LAN. If Remote is checked, the unit will respond to requests from WAN. Get Community: Set the community of GetRequest. This will act as a password.
Routing When you have more than one WBR-6800, or router with different subnets on the network, you will need to enable this function to allow the different subnets to communicate with each other. There are two types of routing supported by the WBR-6800. Dynamic Routing: This method uses Routing Information Protocol (RIP) to enable the devices to determine the best route for each packet based on the number of hops between the source and destination. Tick the Enable box to enable Dynamic Routing.
Destination Subnet Mask Gateway Hop Enabled 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.123.216 1 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.123.103 1 So if, for example, Client3 wants to send an IP data packet to 192.168.0.2, it would use the above table to determine that it had to go via 192.168.123.103 (Router 2) And if it sends Packets to 192.168.1.11 will go via 192.168.123.216 (Router 1) Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
Schedule Rule This feature allows you to define the time schedule of Virtual Server and Packet Filter rules. To enable Scheduling, tick Enable and click Save.
Then create new rules by pressing the Add New Rule button. Enter the Rule’s Name and set the Start and End Times for each day. Then click Save to save the new rule. Once defined, you can use it for Virtual Server and Packet Filters by entering the rule number in the “Schedule Rule#” fields.
QoS Rule Here you can set the parameters for QoS (Quality of Service). This function allows you to specify which types of data packets are given priority. For example you can increase the priority of Voice Over IP or gaming packets so that they are handled first by WBR-6800. To enable QoS Control, tick Enable. Local IP: Please input Client IP, Example: 192.168.12.33. This is the computer that the rule applies. Remote Priority: Please input Global IP and port, Example: 168.96.2.3 and port 21.
Toolbox This section has some basic tools to maintain the WBR-6800’s systems.
View Log View the Log of the router. It can also be exported to a text file.
Firmware Upgrade This page allows you to perform updates to the firmware of the WBR-6800. To use, click Browse and locate the firmware image file, then click Upgrade. Note: Please connect to the WBR-6800 using a wired LAN connection as if the connection breaks during the update, it will render the unit unworkable. Also disable any anti-virus or firewall program before beginning the update. Backup Setting You can backup your settings by clicking the Backup Setting button and save it as a bin file.
Miscellaneous Items MAC Address for Wake-on-LAN Wake-on-LAN is a technology that enables you to power up a networked device remotely. In order to enjoy this feature, the target device must be Wake-on-LAN enabled and you have to know the MAC address of this device, say 00-11-22-33-44-55. Clicking "Wake up" button will make the router to send the wake-up frame to the target device immediately. Domain Name or IP Address for Test Allow you to configure an IP, and ping the device.
