Manual Ver1.0 Three functions are supported in NAT: Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, and DMZ Host. 5.3.1 Virtual Servers Figure 28. Advanced Setup – NAT Virtual Server allows you to direct incoming traffic from WAN side (identified by Protocol and External port) to the Internal server with private IP address on the LAN side. The Internal port is required only if the external port needs to be converted to a different port number used by the server on the LAN side. Maximum 32 entries can be configured.
Manual Ver1.0 Figure 29. Advanced Setup – NAT – Virtual Servers 5.3.2 Port Triggering Some applications require that specific ports in the Router's firewall be opened for access by the remote parties. Port Trigger dynamically opens up the “Open Ports” in the firewall when an application on the LAN initiates a TCP/UDP connection to a remote party using the “Triggering Ports”.
Manual Ver1.0 Click on “Add” to enter configuration page to add your own rule(s). Some applications such as games, video conferencing, remote access applications and others require that specific ports in the Router's firewall be opened for access by the applications. You can configure the port settings from this screen by selecting an existing application or creating your own (Custom application) and click “Save/Apply” to add it.
Manual Ver1.0 Figure 32. Advanced Setup – NAT – DMZ Host 5.4 Firewall Two functions are supported in Firewall: Outgoing IP Filtering and MAC Filtering. 5.4.1 Firewall – Outgoing IP Filtering By default, all outgoing IP traffic from LAN is allowed, but some IP traffic can be BLOCKED by setting up filters. Choose “Add” to configure outgoing IP filters. To remove, check the item and click “Remove”. Figure 33.
Manual Ver1.0 specifying a new filter name and at least one of the conditions below. All of the specified conditions in this filter rule must be satisfied for the rule to take effect.

To find out the MAC address of a Windows-based PC, go to command window and type “ipconfig/all”. Click “Save/Apply” to save and activate the restriction rule. Figure 38.
Manual Ver1.0 5.5 Quality of Service Quality of Service (QoS) (including IP Precedence, IP TOS and IEEE 802.1P) refers to a combination of mechanisms that jointly provide a specific quality level to application traffic crossing a network or multiple, disparate networks. Figure 39. Advanced Setup – Quality of Service Click on “Add” to create a class to identify the IP traffic by specifying at least one condition below. If multiple conditions are specified, all of them take effect. Figure 40.
Manual Ver1.0 5.6 Routing There are three routing information related settings. 5.6.1 Routing – Default Gateway If “Enable Automatic Assigned Default Gateway” checkbox is selected, AW4038 will accept the first received default gateway assignment from one of the PPPoA, PPPoE or MER/DHCP enabled PVC(s). If the checkbox is not selected, enter the static default gateway AND/OR a WAN interface. Click “Apply” button to save it.
Manual Ver1.0 Figure 42. Advanced Setup – Routing – Static Route Enter the destination network address, subnet mask, gateway AND/OR available WAN interface, then click “Apply” to add the entry to the routing table. Figure 43. Advanced Setup – Routing – Add new Static Route 5.6.

Click “Save/Apply” to save the configurations. Figure 48. Wireless Setup – Basic 6.
Manual Ver1.0 Figure 49. Wireless Setup – Security – WEP Four keys for both encryption strengths can be stored here. Enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-bit encryption keys. Enter 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for 64-bit encryption keys. Select which key (1 ~ 4) to use from “Current Network Key”. Click “Save/Apply” to save the configuration. Figure 50. Wireless Setup – Security – WEP 6.2.2 802.
Manual Ver1.0 802.1X addresses the WEP weakness by adding user authentication, via RADIUS server. So you need to have your RADIUS server up and running before using 802.1X. To enable 802.1X, select “802.1X” in “Network Authentication”. Enter your RADIUS server IP address, port number (default: 1812), and key. Follow section 6.2.1 to configure your WEP key and select “Save/Apply” to save your configuration. Figure 51. Wireless Setup – Security – 802.1X 6.2.
Manual Ver1.0 Figure 52. Wireless Setup – Security – WPA 6.2.4 WPA/WPA2-PSK WPA-PSK lets you take advantage of WPA without the hassle of setting up your own RADIUS server. To enable WPA-PSK, select “WPA-PSK” in “Network Authentication”. Enter 8 to 63 ASCII codes or 64 hexadecimal (0~9, A~F) digits in “WPA Pre-Shared Key”. Click “Save/Apply” to save the configuration. Figure 53.
Manual Ver1.0 6.3 MAC Filter Wireless MAC filter allows you to implement access control based on device’s MAC address. When you select “Allow” in “MAC Restrict Mode”, only data from devices with matching MAC addresses in filter table can access AW4038. If you select “Deny” in “MAC Restrict Mode”, every device can access AW4038 except those which have matching MAC addresses in the filter table. To add filter entry, click on “Add” and enter the MAC address of AW4038.
Manual Ver1.0 Figure 55. Wireless Setup – Wireless Bridge 6.5 Advanced In most cases, AW4038 work well with wireless default settings. Modification is not recommended unless you are very familiar with these parameters. Channel: Select the appropriate channel from the provided list to correspond with your network settings. All devices in your wireless network must use the same channel in order to function correctly. Default: 7. Rate: The range is from 1 to 54Mbps.
Manual Ver1.0 slight adjustment of this value is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. AW4038 sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the transmission of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.
Manual Ver1.0 Figure 56. Wireless Setup – Advanced 6.6 Station Info This page shows authenticated wireless stations and their status. Figure 57.
Manual Ver1.0 7. Diagnostics This page allows users to test the Ethernet port connection, DSL port connection, and connection to the Internet Service Provider. If a test displays a fail status, click “Return Diagnostic Tests” at the bottom of the page to make sure the fail status is consistent. If the test continues to show fail, click “Help” to go to the troubleshooting procedures. Figure 58.
Manual Ver1.0 8. Management 8.1 Settings System Administrator can do the AW4038 settings backup, update, and restore default here. The settings can be saved from AW4038 to PC. The saved setting file can also be loaded from PC to AW4038. These 2 functions can help the system administrator to manage large amount of AW4038 efficiently. Restore Default would set the AW4038 with the factory default configuration.
