Chapter 1 Introduction 1 This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless ADSL Modem Router's features and capabilities. Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless ADSL Modem Router. The Wireless ADSL Modem Router is a multi-function device providing the following services: • • • • ADSL Modem. Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users. Wireless Access Point for 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations. 4-Port Switching Hub for 10BaseT or 100BaseT connections.
• IPoA, PPPoE, PPPoA, Direct Connection Support. The Wireless ADSL Modem Router supports all common connection methods. • Auto-detection of Internet Connection Method. In most situations, the Wireless ADSL Modem Router can test your ADSL and Internet connection to determine the connection method used by your ISP. • Static or Dynamic IP Address.
• WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmission, providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than WEP, and provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP. • WPA2-PSK support. Support for WPA2 is also included. WPA2 uses the extremely secure AES encryption method. • 802.1x Support. Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the industrialstrength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization.
• NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each computer is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the Wireless ADSL Modem Router. • Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources.

An example Options screen is shown below. Options Screen Internet Respond to Ping MTU Size • If checked, the Wireless Router will respond to Ping (ICMP) packets received from the Internet. • If not checked, Ping (ICMP) packets from the Internet will be ignored. Disabling this option provides a slight increase in security.
Schedule This Schedule can be used for the Firewall Rules and the URL filter. Schedule Screen Schedule Day Each day of the week can be scheduled independently. Session 1 Session 2 Two (2) separate sessions or periods can be defined. Session 2 can be left blank if not required. Start Time Enter the start using a 24 hr clock. Finish Time Enter the finish time using a 24 hr clock. Local Time Time Zone In order to display your local time correctly, you must select your "Time Zone" from the list.
Port Trigger If you use Internet applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers, you may find that they do not function correctly because they are blocked by the Wireless ADSL Modem Router's firewall. In this case, you can define the application as a "Port Trigger". The Port Trigger screen can be reached by clicking the Port Trigger on the screen. You can then define your Port Trigger.
Incoming Ports • Type - Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used when you receive data from the special application or service. (Note: Some applications use different protocols for outgoing and incoming data). • Start - Enter the beginning of the range of port numbers used by the application server, for data you receive. If the application uses a single port number, enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields.
Port Forward This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because: • Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address. • Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device. Port Forwarding Screen Port Forwarding Application Enter the desired application type. External Port Traffic from the Internet using this port number will be sent to the Server.
Port Range Forward This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because: Port Range Forwarding Screen Port Range Forwarding Application Enter the desired application type. Start Enter the beginning of the range of port numbers used by the application server. End Enter the end of the range of port numbers used by the application server.
QoS The QoS (Quality of Service) feature allows you specify priorities for different traffic.

Chapter 7 Modem Mode 7 This Chapter explains configuration and operation when in Modem Mode (also known as Bridge Mode) Overview There are two modes available on the Mode screen. • Router - Both the ADSL 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 Mode Main Screen In the Device Mode drop down menu, select Modem(Modem only) and click “Save”. The main screen will look like the example below. Note: When choosing Modem Mode, some of the Router options will not available for Modem mode. The detail information as showed below.
• Wireless – the wireless feature is same as the Router mode. • Password – the password feature is same as Router mode.
• Mode - this mode feature allows user to changed the mode setting back to Router Mode. Mode Function Device Name This field displays the current name of this device. Device Mode Select the desired device mode for the router: • Router - Both the ADSL 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.
Status Function ADSL Modem Status This indicates the status of the ADSL modem component. DownStream Connection Speed Displays the speed for the DownStream Connection. UpStream Connection Speed If connected, displays the speed for the Up Stream (upload) ADSL Connection. ADSL Details Click this button to open a sub-window and view the details of each VC (Virtual Circuit). LAN IP Address The IP Address of the Wireless ADSL Modem Router.
• Upgrade Firmware - this function is same as Router mode. Operation Operation is automatic and transparent. • Wireless clients can connect to the Access Point if they have the correct SSID and security, but they must obtain an IP address from the DHCP Server on your LAN. • The modem will act like any other ADSL modem. No routing will be performed, and no client login will be done. If a client login is required, it must be performed by your Router/Gateway or by software on your PC.
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 Wireless ADSL Modem Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless ADSL Modem Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1: Can't connect to the Wireless ADSL Modem Router to configure it.
LAN and power connections.) • Check the Wireless ADSL Modem Router's status screen to see if it is working correctly. Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless ADSL Modem Router. Solution 2: The Wireless ADSL Modem 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.
marked improvement. • Radio Interference Other devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by switching other devices Off, and see if this helps. Any "noisy" 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 Wireless ADSL Modem 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.
As Wireless Stations are physically moved through the area covered by an ESS, they will automatically change to the Access Point which has the least interference or best 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.
The same encryption method must be used. The most common encryption method is TKIP. Another widelysupported method is AES. Encryption WPA2-PSK This is a later version of WPA (WPA-PSK). The major change is the use of AES (Advanced Encryption System) for protecting data. AES is very secure, considered to be unbreakable. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless station.
