pabilities. Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless Router. The Wireless Router is a multi-
function device providing the following services:
Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users. 4-Port Switching Hub for 10BaseT or 100BaseT connections. Wireless Access Point for 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations. Wireless Router Features Figure 1: Wireless Router The Wireless Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use. Internet Access Features Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet through the Wireless Router, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation). DSL & Cable Modem Support. The Wireless Router has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are supported. SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia) login support is also included. PPPoE, PPTP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond Support. The Internet (WAN port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Pro-
tocol), SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as "Direct Connection" type services. Unnumbered IP with PPPoE is also supported. 1 Wireless Router User Guide Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the Wireless Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address. Advanced Internet Functions Communication Applications. Support for Internet communication applications, such as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing applications, which are often difficult to use when behind a Firewall, is included. Special Internet Applications. Applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow such ap-
plications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally. Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy. DDNS Support. DDNS (Dynamic DNS) allows Internet users to connect to Virtual Servers on your LAN using a domain name, even if your IP address is not fixed. Multi-DMZ. For each WAN (Internet) IP address allocated to you, one (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability to run programs which are in-
compatible with Firewalls. URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users. Access Control. Using the Access Control feature, you can assign LAN users to differ-
Internet Access Log. See which Internet connections have been made. ent groups, and determine which Internet services are available to each group. VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required. Wireless Features Standards Compliant. The Wireless Router complies with the IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs. Supports 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations. The 802.11g standard provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously. Speeds to 54Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps are supported. WPA-PSK support. The WPA-PSK (Pre-shared Key) standard provides greater security for your Wireless clients than WEP. WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. Wireless MAC-level Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature can check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN. Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed quickly and easily. 2 Introduction LAN Features 4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless Router incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT switch-
ing hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN. DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless Router can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN. Multi Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more segments are supported, via the Wireless Router's RIP (Routing Information Protocol) support and built-in static routing table. Configuration & Management Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for configura-
tion. Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from the Wireless Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration file to the Wireless Router. Remote Management. The Wireless Router can be managed from any PC on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the Internet. Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless Router to perform a Ping or DNS lookup. UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and con-
figuration of the Wireless Router. UPnP is by supported by Windows ME, XP, or later. Security Features Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings. Wireless LAN Security. WPA-PSK and WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) are supported, as well as MAC-level Wireless access control to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN. NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech-
nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the Wireless Router. Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom-
ing server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources. Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much band-
width and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks. Package Contents The following items should be included:

This enables you to connect to it, and configure it, using your Web Browser. Your Browser must support JavaScript. The configuration program has been tested on the following browsers:
Netscape V4.08 or later Internet Explorer V4 or later Preparation Before attempting to configure the Wireless Router, please ensure that:
Your PC can establish a physical connection to the Wireless Router. The PC and the Wireless Router must be directly connected (using the Hub ports on the Wireless Router) or on the same LAN segment. The Wireless Router must be installed and powered ON. If the Wireless Router's default IP Address (192.168.0.1) is already used by another device, the other device must be turned OFF until the Wireless Router is allocated a new IP Ad-
dress during configuration. Using UPnP If your Windows system supports UPnP, an icon for the Wireless Router will appear in the system tray, notifying you that a new network device has been found, and offering to create a new desktop shortcut to the newly-discovered device. Unless you intend to change the IP Address of the Wireless Router, you can accept the desktop shortcut. Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can always find UPnP devices in My Network Places (previously called Network Neighborhood). Double - click the icon for the Wireless Router (either on the Desktop, or in My Network Places) to start the configuration. Refer to the following section Setup Wizard for details of the initial configuration process. Using your Web Browser To establish a connection from your PC to the Wireless Router:
1. After installing the Wireless Router in your LAN, start your PC. If your PC is already running, restart it. 2. Start your WEB browser. 3. In the Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the IP Address of the Wireless Router, as in this example, which uses the Wireless Router's default IP Address:
HTTP://192.168.0.1 Because the default password is blank, your will not be prompted for a password. However, you should use the Password screen to assign a password. 11 Wireless Router User Guide If you can't connect If the Wireless Router does not respond, check the following:
The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command:
Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window. Enter the command:
ping 192.168.0.1 If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your PC's IP address is not compatible with the Wireless Router's IP Address.
(See next item.) If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 to be compatible with the Wireless Router's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask must be set to 255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on checking your PC's TCP/IP settings. Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network segment.
(If you don't have a router, this must be the case.) Ensure you are using the wired LAN interface. The Wireless interface can only be used if its configuration matches your PC's wireless settings. 12 Setup Setup Wizard The first time you connect to the Wireless Router, the Setup Wizard will run automatically. (The Setup Wizard will also run if the Wireless Router's default settings are restored.) 1. Step through the Wizard until finished. You need to know the type of Internet connection service used by your ISP. Check the data supplied by your ISP. The common connection types are explained in the tables below. 2. On the final screen of the Wizard, run the test and check that an Internet connection can be 3. established. If the connection test fails:
Check your data, the Cable/DSL modem, and all connections. Check that you have entered all data correctly. If using a Cable modem, your ISP may have recorded the MAC (physical) address of your PC. Run the Wizard, and on the Cable Modem screen, use the "Clone MAC ad-
dress" button to copy the MAC address from your PC to the Wireless Router. Common Connection Types Cable Modems Type Details Dynamic IP Address Your IP Address is allocated automatically, when you connect to you ISP. Static (Fixed) IP Address Your ISP allocates a permanent IP Address to you. DSL Modems ISP Data required Usually, none. However, some ISP's may require you to use a particular Hostname, Domain name, or MAC (physical) address. IP Address allocated to you. Some ISP's may also require you to use a particular Hostname, Domain name, or MAC (physi-

User Name Password RAS Plan 14 Home Screen After finishing the Setup Wizard, you will see the Home screen. When you connect in future, you will see this screen when you connect. An example screen is shown below. Setup Figure 5: Home Screen Navigation & Data Input Use the menu bar on the left of the screen, and the "Back" button on your Browser, for navigation. Changing to another screen without clicking "Save" does NOT save any changes you may have made. You must "Save" before changing screens or your data will be ignored. On each screen, clicking the "Help" button will display help for that screen. From any help screen, you can access the list of all help files (help index). 15 Wireless Router User Guide LAN Screen Use the LAN link on the main menu to reach the LAN screen. An example screen is shown below. Figure 6: LAN Screen Data - LAN Screen TCP/IP IP Address Subnet Mask DHCP Server Buttons Save Cancel IP address for the Wireless Router, as seen from the local LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN. The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C") net-
works. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN segment to which the Wireless Router is attached (the same value as the PCs on that LAN segment). If Enabled, the Wireless Router will allocate IP Addresses to PCs
(DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (and recommended) value is Enabled. If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to treat the Wireless Router as the default Gateway. See the following section for further details. The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients supported. See the following section for further details on using DHCP. Save the data on screen. The "Cancel" button will discard any data you have entered and reload the file from the Wireless Router. 16 Setup DHCP What DHCP Does A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request. The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots). The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as allocating an IP Address. The Wireless Router can act as a DHCP server. Windows 95/98/ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP act as a DHCP client. This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However, Windows uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatically instead of "DHCP Client". You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your LAN does not have other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on your LAN.) Using the Wireless Router's DHCP Server This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen, you can:
Enable or Disable the Wireless Router's DHCP Server function. Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function. You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices while using DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server. Using another DHCP Server You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP Server, rather than the Wireless Router's, the following procedure is required. 1. Disable the DHCP Server feature in the Wireless Router. This setting is on the LAN screen. 2. Configure the DHCP Server to provide the Wireless Router's IP Address as the Default Gateway. To Configure your PCs to use DHCP This is the default setting for TCP/IP under Windows 95/98/ME. See Chapter 4 - Client Configuration for the procedure to check these settings. 17 Wireless Router User Guide Wireless Screen The Wireless Router's settings must match the other Wireless stations. Note that the Wireless Router will automatically accept both 802.11b and 802.11g conne ctions, and no configuration is required for this feature. To change the Wireless Router's default se ttings for the Wireless Access Point feature, use the Wireless link on the main menu to reach the Wireless screen. An example screen is shown below. Figure 7: Wireless Screen Data - Wireless Screen Access Point Enable Access Point Broadcast SSID Station name Region If Enabled, wireless stations will be able to use this Access Point. If Disabled, the wireless interface is disabled, and will neither transmit or receive wireless traffic. If Enabled, the SSID will be broadcast its name to all Wireless Stations. Stations can then see this Access Point in their list of "Available networks", and can adopt the correct SSID for connections to this Access Point. On your PC, some Wireless status screens may display this name as the Access Point in use.

Disabled - no data encryption is used. WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard. WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP. WEP Wireless Security Figure 8: WEP Screen Data - WEP Screen Security System Authentication Data Key Size Passphrase WEP The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmission, but the encryption system is not very strong. Normally this can be left at the default value of "Auto". If that fails, select the appropriate value - "Open System" or "Shared Key." Check your wireless station's documentation to see what method to use. 64-bit (sometimes called 40-bit) encryption 128-bit (sometimes called 104 bit) encryption Select the WEP Encryption level:
This feature allows you to generate a key or keys from a text (ASCII) phrase, rather than enter keys in Hex. To use this feature:
Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase field 20 Setup Click the "Generate Keys" button. If encryption strength is set to 64 bit, then each of the four key fields will be populated with key values. If encryption strength is set to 128 bit, then only the selected WEP key field will be given a key value. All wireless stations must use the same key values as the Wireless Router. Use the radio buttons to select the default key. Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have the same key values. Keys must be entered in Hex. Hex characters are the digits (0 ~ 9) and the letters A ~ F. Keys 21 Wireless Router User Guide WPA-PSK Wireless Security If "WPA-PSK" is selected, the screen will look like the following example. Figure 9: WPA-PSK Screen Data WPA-PSK Screen Security System PSK Key Lifetime WPA Encryption WPA-PSK Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if possible. WPA-PSK is the version of WPA, which does NOT require a Radius Server on your LAN. Enter the Keyword key value. Data is encrypted using a key derived from the network key. Other Wireless Stations must use the same network key. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length. This determines how often the encryption key is changed. You can change the default value if desired. The WPA-PSK standard allows different encryption methods to be used. Select the desired option. Wireless Stations must use the same encryption method. 22 Password Screen The password screen allows you to assign a password to the Wireless Router. Setup Figure 10: Password Screen Once you have assigned a password to the Wireless Router (on the Password screen above) you will be prompted for the password when you connect, as shown below.

Overview For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
TCP/IP network settings Wireless configuration Internet Access configuration Windows Clients This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Wireless Router. The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings. The Wireless Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC. TCP/IP Settings - Overview If using the default Wireless Router settings, and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made. By default, the Wireless Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a suit-
able IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots. For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client. If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are re-
quired:
The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Wireless Router The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP. If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re-
configure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 - Advanced Setup for details. 24 Checking TCP/IP Settings - Windows 9x/ME:

bers used by the service. If the service uses a single port number, enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields. ICMP Type For ICMP Services, enter the type number of the required service. Buttons Delete Delete the selected service from the list. 54 Advanced Features Add a new entry to the Service list, using the data shown in the "Add New Service" area on screen. Clear the " Add New Service " area, ready for entering data for a new Service. Save Cancel Access Control Log To check the operation of the Access Control feature, an Access Control Log is provided. Click the View Log button on the Access Control screen to view this log. This log shows attempted Internet accesses which have been blocked by the Access Control function. Data shown in this log is as follows:
Date/Time Name Source IP address MAC address Date and Time of the attempted access. If known, the name of the PC whose access was blocked. The IP Address of the PC or device whose access request was blocked The hardware or physical address of the PC or device whose access request was blocked Destination The destination URL or IP address 55 Wireless Router User Guide Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server) This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Inter-
net users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address. This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you. The Service works as follows:
1. You must register for the service at one of the listed DDNS Service Providers. 2. After registration, follow the service provider's procedure to request a Domain Name and have it allocated to you. 3. Enter your DDNS data on the Wireless Router's DDNS screen. 4. The Wireless Router will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is re-
corded at the DDNS server. If the DDNS Service provides software to perform this "IP address update"; you should disable the "Update" function, or not use the software at all. 5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC) using your Domain Name. Dynamic DNS Screen Select Advanced on the main menu, then Dynamic DNS, to see a screen like the following:
Figure 33: DDNS Screen Data - Dynamic DNS Screen DDNS Service DDNS Service Web Site Button Select the desired DDNS Service provider. Click this button to open a new window and connect to the Web site for the selected DDNS service provider. 56 Advanced Features DDNS Status This message is returned by the DDNS Server. Normally, this message should be something like "Update suc-
cessful" (current IP address was updated on the DDNS server). If the message is "No host", this indicates the host name entered was not allocated to you. If you see this, or some other error message, you need to contact the DDNS Service and correct the problem. DDNS Data User Name Enter your Username for the DDNS Service. Password/Key Enter your current password for the DDNS Service. Domain Name Enter the domain name allocated to you by the DDNS Service. If you have more than one name, enter the name you wish to use. 57 Wireless Router User Guide Advanced Internet Screen This screen allows configuration of all advanced features relating to Internet access. Communication Applications Special Applications DMZ Multi-DMZ An exa mple screen is shown below. Figure 34: Internet Screen Communication Applications Most applications are supported transparently by the Broadband Router. But sometimes it is not clear which PC should receive an incoming connection. This problem could arise with the Communication Applications listed on this screen. If this problem arises, you can use this screen to set which PC should receive an incoming connection, as described below. Communication Applications Select an Appl ication This lists applications which may generate incoming connections, where the destination PC (on your local LAN) is unknown. 58 Advanced Features Send incoming calls to This lists the PCs on your LAN. If necessary, you can add PCs manually, using the "PC Database" option on the advanced menu. For each application listed above, you can choose a destina-
tion PC. There is no need to "Save" after each change; you can set the destination PC for each application, then click "Save". Special Applications 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 Router's firewall. In this case, you can define the application as a "Special Application". Special Applications Screen This screen can be reached by clicking the Special Applications button on the Internet screen. You can then define your Special Applications. You will need detailed information about the application; this is normally available from the supplier of the application. Also, note that the terms "Incoming" and "Outgoing" on this screen refer to traffic from the client (PC) viewpoint Figure 35: Special Applications Screen 59 Wireless Router User Guide Data - Special Applications Screen Checkbox Use this to Enable or Disable this Special Application as required. Name Incoming Ports Outgoing Ports Enter a descriptive name to identify this Special Application. Type - Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used when you receive data from the special application or service. (Note: Some applications use dif-
ferent 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. Finish - Enter the end of the range of port numbers used by the applica-
tion server, for data you receive. Type - Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used when you send data to the remote system or service. Start - Enter the beginning of the range of port numbers used by the application server, for data you send to it. If the application uses a single port number, enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields. Finish - Enter the end of the range of port numbers used by the applica-
tion server, for data you send to it. If the application uses a single port number, enter it in both the "Start" and "Finish" fields. Using a Special Application Configure the Special Applications screen as required. On your PC, use the application normally. Remember that only one (1) PC can use each Special application at any time. Also, when 1 PC is finished using a particular Special Ap-
plication, there may need to be a "Time-out" before another PC can use the same Special Application. The "Time-out" period may be up to 3 minutes. If an application still cannot function correctly, try using the "DMZ" feature. DMZ The "DMZ" PC will receive all "Unknown" connections and data. This feature is normally used with applications which do not usually work when behind a Firewall. The DMZ PC is effectively outside the Firewall, making it more vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, you should only enable the DMZ feature when required. If Enabled, you must select the PC to be used as the "DMZ" PC. Select the desired option Disabl ed - DMZ is disabled. Enabled- The selected PC is a standard PC on your LAN, but it will receive any "unknown"
connections and data, as described above. 60 Advanced Features Multi-DMZ This feature is only available if your ISP has allocated you multiple Internet IP addresses. If you have multiple Internet IP addresses, you can assign one DMZ PC for each Internet IP address. The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data received for the Internet IP address associated with it. All outgoing traffic from the DMZ PC will be assigned the WAN IP address associated with it, rather than the shared IP address on the WAN port. Note that ONLY the DMZ PC will use the WAN (Internet) IP address you enter on this screen. To use this feature:
Enter an IP address allocated to you by your ISP into the WAN IP address field. Select the PC to be the DMZ PC for traffic sent to this IP address. Enable this DMZ. The "DMZ PC" is effectively outside the Firewall, mak-
ing it more vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, you should only enable the DMZ feature when required. 61 Wireless Router User Guide URL Filter The URL Filter allows you to block access to undesirable Web site To use this feature, you must define "filter strings". If the "filter string" appears in a re-
quested URL, the request is blocked. Enabling the URL Filter also affects the Internet Access Log. If Enabled, the "Destination"
field in the log will display the URL. Otherwise, it will display the IP Address. URL Filter Screen Click the "URL Filter" on the Advanced screen to access the URL Filter screen. An example screen is shown below. Figure 36: URL Filter Screen Data - URL Filter Screen Settings Enable Schedule Apply Filter to Filter Strings Filter Strings This lists any existing entries. If you have not entered any values, this list will be empty. If you always want filtering to be active, select "Always". Otherwise, select the schedule to use. You can define the schedule using the Schedule menu option, on the Advanced menu. Select the groups you wish the filter to apply to. Group membership can be set on the "User Groups" screen, on the "Administration" menu. This lists any existing entries. If you have not entered any values, this list will be empty. 62 Advanced Features Use this to delete the selected entry or entries, as required. Multiple entries can be selected by holding down the CTRL key while selecting.
(On the Macintosh, hold the SHIFT key while selecting.) Use this button to delete all entries, if required. To add an entry to the list, enter it here, and click the "Add" button. An entry may be a Domain name (e.g. www.trash.com) or simply a string

Delete Delete All Add Filter Filter String Add Button Add Filter Delete/Delete All Use these buttons to delete the selected entry or all entries, as required. Multiple entries can be selected by holding down the CTRL key while selecting.(On the Macintosh, hold the SHIFT key while selecting.) Add Use this to add the current Filter String to the site list. 63 Wireless Router User Guide Define Schedule The schedule can be used for the Access Control and URL Filter features. Two (2) separate sessions or periods can be defined. Times must be entered using a 24 hr clock. If the time for a particular day is blank, no action will be performed. Figure 37: Define Schedule Screen Data Define Schedule Screen Day Session 1 Session 2 Start Time Each day of the week can scheduled independently. Two (2) separate sessions or periods can be defined. Session 2 can be left blank if not required. Enter the start using a 24 hr clock. Finish Time Enter the finish time using a 24 hr clock. 64 Advanced Features User Groups User Groups are used by the Access Control and the URL Filter features. Groups are pre-named "Default", "Group 1", "Group 2", "Group 3" and "Group 4", and cannot be renamed. All PCs are in the "Default" group, unless moved to another group. A PC can be a member of 1 group only. PCs must be in the "PC Database". If required, you can manually add PCs to the PC Data-
base, using the PC Database option on the Administration menu. Figure 38: User Groups Screen Data User Groups Screen Group List Select the desired Group. The screen will update to display the PCs for the selected Group. Group Members This lists all PCs , which are currently members of the selected group. Other PCs This lists all other PCs those, which are not currently members of the selected group. Del >>
<< Add Use this button to remove members from the current Group. Select the members you wish to delete from this group, and click this button. (Members can not be deleted from the "Default" group.) Use this button to add members to the current Group. In the "Other PCs" list, select the members you wish to add to this group, and click this button. The PCs will be moved from their existing group to the current group. PCs not assigned to any group will be in the "Default" group. PCs deleted from any other Group will be added to the "De-
fault" group. 65 Wireless Router User Guide Virtual Servers This feature, sometimes called Port Forwarding, 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. The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your servers, as illustrated below. Figure 39: Virtual Servers IP Address seen by Internet Users Note that, in this illustration, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP Address, but using different protocols. To Internet users, all virtual Servers on your LAN have the same IP Address. This IP Address is allocated by your ISP. This address should be static, rather than dynamic, to make it easier for Internet users to con-
nect to your Servers. However, you can use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature to allow users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, instead of an IP Address. Virtual Servers Screen The Virtual Servers screen is reached by the Virtual Servers link on the Advanced screen. An example screen is shown below. 66 Advanced Features Figure 40: Virtual Servers Screen This screen lists a number of pre-defined Servers, and allows you to define your own Servers. Details of the selected Server are shown in the "Properties" area. Data - Virtual Servers Screen Servers Servers Properties Enable PC (Server) Protocol Internal Ports External Ports Buttons Defaults This lists a number of pre-defined Servers, plus any Servers you have defined. Details of the selected Server are shown in the "Prop-
erties" area. Use this to Enable or Disable support for this Server, as required. If Enabled, any incoming connections will be forwarded to the selected PC. If Disabled, any incoming connection attempts will be blocked. Select the PC for this Server. The PC must be running the appropri-
ate Server software. Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used by the Server. Enter the range of port numbers which the Server software is con-
figured to use. If only 1 port number is required, enter it in both the start and finish fields. The port numbers used by Internet users when connecting to the Server. These are normally the same as the Internal Port Numbers. If it is different, this device will perform a "mapping" or "translation"
function, allowing the server to use one port address, while clients use a different port address. This will delete any Servers you have defined, and set the pre-
defined Servers to use their default port numbers. 67 Wireless Router User Guide Disable All This will cause the "Enable" setting of all Virtual Servers to be set OFF. Update Selected Server Update the current Virtual Server entry, using the data shown in the
"Properties" area on screen. Add as new Server Delete Clear Form Add a new entry to the Virtual Server list, using the data shown in the "Properties" area on screen. The entry selected in the list is ignored, and has no effect. Delete the current Virtual Server entry. Note that the pre-defined Servers can not be deleted. Only Servers you have defined yourself can be deleted. Clear all data from the "Properties" area, ready for input of a new Virtual Server entry. For each entry, the PC must be running the appropriate Server software. Defining your own Virtual Servers If the type of Server you wish to use is not listed on the Virtual Servers screen, you can define and manage your own Servers:
Create a new Server:
Modify (Edit) a Server:
1. Click "Clear Form"
2. Enter the required data, as described above. 3. Click "Add". 4. The new Server will now appear in the list. 1. Select the desired Server from the list 2. Make any desired changes (for example, change the Enable/Disable setting). 3. Click "Update" to save changes to the selected Server. Delete a Server:
1. Select the entry from the list. 2. Click "Delete". Note: You can only delete Servers you have defined. Pre-
defined Server cannot be deleted. From the Internet, ALL Virtual Servers have the IP Address allocated by your ISP. Connecting to the Virtual Servers Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use the Internet IP Address (the IP Address allocated to you by your ISP). e.g. 68 Advanced Features http://203.70.212.52 ftp://203.70.212.52 It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic. However, you can use the Dynamic DNS feature, described in the following section, to allow users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address. 69 Wireless Router User Guide WAN Port Configuration The WAN Port option is on the Advanced menu. Figure 41: WAN Port Screen Data WAN Port Screen Port Settings Port Speed MTU Size Identification Hostname Domain Name Normally, this can be left at "Automatic". If the device attached to the WAN Port has problems making a connection, you can select the setting required or preferred by the other device. MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value should only be changed if advised to do so by Technical Support. Enter a value between 1 and 1500. This device will still auto-negotiate with the remote server, to set the MTU size. The smaller of the 2 values (auto-negotiated, or en-
tered here) will be used. For direct connections (not PPPoE or PPTP), the MTU used is always 1500. Normally, there is no need to change the default name, but if your ISP requests that you use a particular Hostname, enter it here. If your ISP provided a domain name, enter it here. Otherwise, this may be left blank. 70 WAN Port MAC Address Also called Network Adapter Address or Physical Address. This is a low-level identifier, as seen from the WAN port. Advanced Features Normally there is no need to change this, but some ISPs require a particular value, often that of the PC initially used for Internet access. You can use the Copy from PC button to copy your PC's address into this field, the Default button to insert the default value, or enter a value directly. Also called Dynamic IP Address. This is the default, and the most common. Leave this selected if your ISP allocates an IP Address to the Wire-
less Router upon connection. Also called Static IP Address. Select this if your ISP has allocated you a fixed IP Address. If this option is selected, the following data must be entered. IP Address The IP Address allocated by the ISP. Network Mask (Not required for PPPoE) This is also supplied by your ISP. It must be compatible with the IP Address above. Gateway IP Address (Not required for PPPoE) The address of the router or gateway, as supplied by your ISP. The DNS (Domain Name Server) address will be obtained automati-
cally from your ISP's server. Note that if using a fixed IP address, with no login (login is set to
"None"), then no Server is used, so this option cannot be used. IP Address Automatic Specified IP Ad-
dress DNS Automatically obtain from Serve Use this DNS If this option is selected, you must enter the IP address of the DNS
(Domain Name Server) you wish to use. 71 Wireless Router User Guide Login Login Method If your ISP does not use a login method (username, password) for Internet access, leave this at the default value None (Direct connec-
tion). Otherwise, check the documentation from your ISP, select the login method used, and enter the required data. PPPoE - this is the most common login method, widely used with DSL modems. Normally, your ISP will have provided some soft-
ware to connect and login. This software is no longer required, and should not be used. PPPoE (Unnumbered IP) - this can only be used if your ISP supports this system, and has allocated you multiple IP ad-
dresses. If selected, you must also select "Specified IP Address"
above and enter one of the IP addresses allocated to you by your ISP. The other IP addresses must be assigned to PCs on your LAN. PPTP - this is mainly used in Europe. You need to know the PPTP Server address as well as your name and password. L2TP - this is not widely used. You need to know the PPTP Server address as well as your name and password. Big Pond Cable - for Australia only. SingTel RAS - for Singapore only. Login User Name The User Name (or account name) provided by your ISP. Login Password Enter the password for the login name above. RAS Plan For SingTel customers only, select the RAS plan you are on. Server Address This is not required for PPPoE or SingTel RAS. For PPTP, L2TP and BPA, enter the Server address as provided by your ISP. Connection Behavior Select the desired option:
Automatic Connect/Disconnect An Internet connection is automatically made when required, and disconnected when idle for the time period specified by the
"Auto-disconnect Idle Time-out". Manual Connect/Disconnect You must manually establish and terminate the connection. Keep alive (maintain connection) The connection will never be disconnected by this device. If dis-
connected by your ISP, the connection will be re-established immediately. (However, this does not ensure that your Internet IP address will remain unchanged.) This field has no effect unless using the Automatic Con-
nect/Disconnect setting. If using this setting, enter the desired idle time-out period (in minutes). After the connection to your ISP has been idle for this time period, the connection will be terminated. Auto-disconnect Idle Time-out 72 Advanced Features Buttons Default Inserts the default MAC address into the MAC address field. You must click "Save" to actually change the address used. Copy from PC Inserts the MAC address from your PC into the MAC address field. You must click "Save" to actually change the address used. Save Cancel Save your changes to the Broadband Router. Reverse any changes made since the last "Save". 73 Chapter 7 Advanced Administration 7 This Chapter explains the settings available via the "Administration" section of the menu. Overview Normally, it is not necessary to use these screens, or change any settings. These screens and settings are provided to deal with non-standard situations, or to provide additional options for advanced users. The available settings and features are:

bleshooting, 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 Wireless Router, log data can also be E-mailed to your PC. Figure 43: Logs Screen Data - Logs Screen Enable Logs Outgoing Connections Access Control DoS Attacks Timezone If selected, Outgoing Internet connections are logged. Normally, the (Internet) "Destination" will be shown as an IP address. But if the "URL Filter" is enabled, the "Destination" will be shown as a URL. If enabled, the log will include attempted outgoing connections which have been blocked by the "Access Control" feature. If enabled, this log will show details of DoS (Denial of Service) attacks which have been blocked by the built-in Firewall. Select the correct Timezone for your location. This is required for the date/time shown on the logs to be correct. View Log Button Use this to view each log, as required. 76 Clear Log Button E-Mail Alerts Send E-mail alert.. E-Mail Logs Send Logs Advanced Administration Use this to restart the required log. This makes it easier to read the latest entries. If enabled, an E-mail will be sent immediately if a DoS (Denial of Service) attack is detected. If enabled, the E-mail address informa-
tion (below) must be provided. Select the desired option for sending the log by E-mail. Never - E-mailing of Logs is disabled. When log is full - The time is not fixed. The log will be sent when the log is full, which will depend on the volume of traf-

Lookup Button After entering the Domain name/URL, click this button to start the
"DNS Lookup" procedure. The results will be displayed in the DNS Lookup Results pane. 78 Advanced Administration Options This screen allows advanced users to enter or change a number of settings. For normal opera-
tion, there is no need to use this screen or change any settings. An example Options screen is shown below. Figure 45: Options Screen Data - Options Screen Backup DNS IP Address UpnP Enable UPnP Services Allow Configura-
tion... Allow Internet access to be disabled Enter the IP Address of the DNS (Domain Name Servers) here. These DNS will be used only if the primary DNS is unavailable. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and configuration of equipment attached to your LAN. UPnP is by supported Windows ME, XP, or later. If Enabled, this device will be visible via UPnP. If Disabled, this device will not be visible via UPnP. If checked, then UPnP users can change the configuration. If Disabled, UPnP users can only view the configuration. If checked, then UPnP users can disable Internet access via this device. If Disabled, UPnP users can NOT disable Internet access via this device. 79 Wireless Router User Guide PC Database The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC). It elimi-
nates the need to enter IP addresses. Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your LAN. PC Database Screen An example PC Database screen is shown below. Figure 46: PC Database PCs which are "DHCP Clients" are automatically added to the database, and updated as required. By default, non-Server versions of Windows act as "DHCP Clients"; this setting is called
"Obtain an IP Address automatically". The Wireless Router uses the "Hardware Address" to identify each PC, not the name or IP address. The "Hardware Address" can only change if you change the PC's network card or adapter. This system means you do NOT need to use Fixed (static) IP addresses on your LAN. However, you can add PCs using Fixed (static) IP Addresses to the PC database if required. 80 Advanced Administration Data - PC Database Screen Known PCs This lists all current entries (PCs or network devices). Name IP Address Buttons Add Delete If adding a new PC to the list, enter its name here. It is best if this matches the PC's "hostname". If adding a new PC to the list, enter the IP Address of the PC here. The PC will be sent a "ping" to determine its hardware address. If the PC is not available (not connected, or not powered On) you will not be able to add it. This will add the new PC to the list. The PC will be sent a "ping" to determine its hardware address. If the PC is not available (not con-
nected, or not powered On) you will not be able to add it. Delete the selected PC from the list. This should be done in 2 situations:
The PC has been removed from your LAN. The entry is incorrect. Refresh Update the data on screen. Generate Report Display a read-only list showing full details of all entries in the PC database. Click this to view the advanced "PC Database" screen. Advanced Administration 81 Wireless Router User Guide PC Database (Admin) This screen is displayed if the "Advanced Administration" button on the PC Database is clicked. It provides more control than the standard PC Database screen. Figure 47: PC Database (Admin) Data - PC Database ( Admin) Screen Known PCs This lists all current entries. Data displayed is name (IP Address) type. The "type" indicates whether the PC is connected to the LAN. Edit Delete PC Properties Name Use this to change the data for the selected PC in the list. The data for the selected PC will then be shown in the "Properties" area, where it may be edited. (Click "Update" to save any changes.) Use this to Delete the selected PC from the list. This should be done in 2 situations:
The PC has been removed from your LAN. The entry is incorrect. If adding a new PC to the list, enter its name here. It is best if this matches the PC's "hostname". 82 Advanced Administration Select the appropriate option:
Automatic - The PC is set to be a DHCP client (Windows: "Obtain an IP address automatically"). The Wireless Router will allocate an IP address to this PC when requested to do so. The IP address could change, but normally won't. DCHP Client - Reserved IP Address - Select this if the PC is set to be a DCHP client, and you wish to guarantee that the Wireless Router will always allocate the same IP Address to this PC. Enter the required IP address. Only the last field is required; the other fields must match the Wireless Router's IP address. Fixed IP Address - Select this if the PC is using a Fixed (Static) IP address. Enter the IP address allocated to the PC. (The PC must be configured to use this IP address.) Select the appropriate option Automatic discovery - Select this to have the Wireless Router contact the PC and find its MAC address. This is only possible if the PC is connected to the LAN and powered On. MAC is - Enter the MAC address on the PC. The MAC address is also called the "Hardware Address", "Physical Address", or "Net-
work Adapter Address". The Broadband Router uses this to provide a unique identifier for each PC. Because of this, the MAC address can NOT be left blank. IP Address MAC Address Buttons Add as New Entry Add a new PC to the list, using the data in the "Properties" box. If "Automatic discovery" (for MAC address) is selected, the PC will be sent a "ping" to determine its hardware address. This will fail unless the PC is connected to the LAN, and powered on. Update (modify) the selected PC, using the data in the "Properties" box. Update Selected PC Clear Form Clear the "Properties" box, ready for entering data for a new PC. Refresh Update the data on screen. Generate Report Display a read-only list showing full details of all entries in the PC database.

Figure 48: Remote Administration Screen Data - Remote Administration Screen Remote Administration Enable Remote Management Port Number Current IP Address Enable to allow management via the Internet. If Disabled, this device will ignore management connection attempts from the Internet. Enter a port number between 1024 and 65535. The default for HTTP
(Web) connections is port 80, but using port 80 will prevent the use of a Web "Virtual Server" on your LAN. So using a different port num-
ber is recommended. The default value is 8080. The port number must be specified in your Browser when you con-
nect. To specify the port number :
1. From a remote location, start your Browser. 2. In the "Address" or "Location" field, enter the Internet IP ad-
dress of this device (NOT the LAN IP address), followed by the port number, as follows:
http://ip_address:port_number Where:
ip_address is the Internet IP address of this device. port_number is the port number assigned on this screen. 3. You should then be prompted for the password for this device.
(You must assign a password!) To manage this device via the Internet, you need to know the IP Address of this device, as seen from the Internet. This IP Address is allocated by your ISP, and is shown here. But if using a Dynamic IP Address, this value can change each time you connect to your ISP. There are 2 solutions to this problem:
Have your ISP allocate you a Fixed IP address. Use the DDNS feature (Advanced menu) so you can connect using a Domain Name, rather than an IP address. 84 Advanced Administration 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 Wireless 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://123.123.123.123:8080 This example assumes the WAN IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and the port number is 8080. 85 Wireless Router User Guide Routing Overview If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing"
page completely. If the Wireless 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 Wireless Router is to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and ig-
nore the Static Routing table. If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN seg-
ments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.) If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the Broad-
band Router, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are correct:
Open Routing and Remote Access In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access , [server name], IP Routing, RIP In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version 2, and then click "Properties". On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and Incoming packet protocol to "RIP version 1 and 2". Routing Screen The routing table is accessed by the Routing link on the Administration menu. Using this Screen Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the Static Routing Table, as explained above, although is it possible to use both methods simultaneously. Static Routing Table If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your Network, other than the segment to which this device is attached. The other Routers must also be configured. See Configuring Other Routers on your LAN later in this chapter for further details and an example. 86 Advanced Administration Figure 49: Routing Screen Data - Routing Screen RIP Enable RIP V1 Static Routing Static Routing Table Entries Properties Check this to enable the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) feature of the Broadband Router The Wireless Router supports RIP 1 only. This list shows all entries in the Routing Table. The "Properties" area shows details of the selected item in the list. Change any the properties as required, then click the "Update"
button to save the changes to the selected entry. Destination Network - The network address of the remote LAN segment. For standard class "C" LANs, the network address is the first 3 fields of the Destination IP Address. The 4th (last) field can be left at 0. Network Mask - The Network Mask for the remote LAN seg-
ment. For class "C" networks, the default mask is 255.255.255.0 Gateway IP Address - The IP Address of the Gateway or Router which the Wireless Router must use to communicate with the destination above. (NOT the router attached to the remo te seg-
ment.) Metric - The number of "hops" (routers) to pass through to reach the remote LAN segment. The shortest path will be used. The default value is 2. Buttons Save Save the RIP setting. This has no effect on the Static Routing Table. 87 Wireless Router User Guide Add Update Delete Add a new entry to the Static Routing table, using the data shown in the "Properties" area on screen. The entry selected in the list is ignored, and has no effect. Update the current Static Routing Table entry, using the data shown in the "Properties" area on screen. Delete the current Static Routing Table entry. Clear Form Clear all data from the "Properties" area, ready for input of a new entry for the Static Routing table. Generate Report Generate a read-only list of all entries in the Static Routing table. Configuring Other Routers on your LAN It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the Broadband Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve this, the local LA N must be configured to use the Wireless Router as the Default Route or Default Gateway. Local Router The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Wireless Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the Broadband Router itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows. Destination IP Address Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation. Network Mask Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation. Gateway IP Address The IP Address of the Wireless Router. Metric 2 Other Routers on the Local LAN Other routers on the local LAN must use the Wireless Routers Local Router as the Default Route. The entries will be the same as the Wireless Router's local router, with the exception of the Gateway IP Address. For a router with a direct connection to the Wireless Router's local Router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the Wireless Router's local router. For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the Wireless Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermediate router. 88 Static Routing - Example Advanced Administration Figure 50: Routing Example For the Broadband Router's Routing Table For the LAN shown above, with 2 routers and 3 LAN segments, the Wireless 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 (Broadband Router's local Router) Metric Entry 2 (Segment 2) Destination IP Address 2 192.168.2.0 Network Mask 255.255.255.0 (Standard Class C) Gateway IP Address 192.168.0.100 Metric 3 For Router A's Default Route Destination IP Address Network Mask 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Gateway IP Address 192.168.0.1 (Broadband Router's IP Address) For Router B's Default Route Destination IP Address Network Mask 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Gateway IP Address 192.168.1.80 (Broadband Router's local router) 89 Wireless Router User Guide Security This screen allows you to set Firewall and other security-related options. Figure 51: Security Screen Data - Security Screen DoS Firewall Enable DoS Firewall If enabled, DoS (Denial of Service) attacks will be detected and blocked. The default is enabled. It is strongly recommended that this setting be left enabled. Note:
A DoS attack does not attempt to steal data or damage your PCs, but overloads your Internet connection so you can not use it -
the service is unavailable. This device uses "Stateful Inspection" technology. This system can detect situations where individual TCP/IP packets are valid, but collectively they become a DoS attack. Firewall Settings Button If you wish to adjust the settings used by the DoS firewall, click this button to open a sub-window. Options Respond to ICMP The ICMP protocol is used by the "ping" and "traceroute" programs, and by network monitoring and diagnostic programs. If checked, the Wireless Router will respond to ICMP packets received from the Internet. If not checked, ICMP packets from the Internet will be ignored. Disabling this option provides a slight increase in security. 90 Advanced Administration The IPSec, PPTP, and L2TP protocols are used to establish a secure connection, and are widely used by VPN (Virtual Private Networking) programs. Note: IPSec sessions must NOT use AH (Authentication Header). Packets using AH cannot be routed correctly. If checked, these VPN connections are allowed. If not checked, these VPN connections are blocked. If enabled, fragmented IP packets are discarded, forcing re-
transmission of these packets. In some situations, this could prevent successful communication, so this setting is normally disabled. A TCP flood is excessively large number of TCP connection requests. This is usually a DoS (Denial of Service) attack. This setting should be normally be enabled. A UDP flood is excessively large number of UDP packets. This is often a DoS (Denial of Service) attack, but some streaming applica-
tions also use UDP, and blocking UPD packets may prevent them from working correctly. Abnormal packets are often used by hackers and in DoS attacks, but may also be generated by other network devices. (PCs will normally not generate non-standard packets.) This setting is disabled by default, but on most networks it can safely be enabled, and doing so will provide greater protection. Allow VPN Pass through Drop fragmented IP packets Block TCP Flood Block UDP Flood Block non-standard packets 91 Wireless Router User Guide Upgrade Firmware The firmware (software) in the Wireless Router can be upgraded using your Web Browser. You must first download the upgrade file, then select Upgrade on the Administration menu. You will see a screen like the following. Figure 52: Upgrade Firmware 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. Click the "Start Upgrade" button to commence the firmware upgrade. The Wireless Router is unavailable during the up-
grade process, and must restart when the upgrade is completed. Any connections to or through the Broadband Router will be lost. 92 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 Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wire-
less Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1:
Solution 1:
Can't connect to the Wireless Router to configure it. Check the following:
The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON. Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.) If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP client), restart it. If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP Address within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thus compati-
ble with the Wireless Router's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the Wireless Router. In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel-
Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol. Internet Access Problem 1: When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error. Solution 1:
A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting steps. Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP settings are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Network Mask, Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address. If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the Wireless Router. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and power connections.) If the Wireless Router is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem etc) to see that it is working correctly. Problem 2:
Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router. 93 Wireless Router User Guide Solution 2:
The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent. Use the Special Applications feature to allow the use of Internet applica-
tions which do not function correctly. If this does solve the problem you can use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every application, but:
Only one (1) PC can use this feature. It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled. 94 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 Sta-
tions (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. Notebook PCs with wireless cards) to a wired (Ethernet) LAN. The Wireless Stations can then access all LAN resources. Access Points can only function in "Infrastructure" mode, and can communicate only with Wireless Stations which are set to "Infrastructure" mode. BSS/ESS BSS A group of Wireless Stations and a single Access Point, all using the same ID (SSID), form a Basic Service Set (BSS). Generally, using the same SSID is essential. Devices with different SSIDs are on different Wireless LANs, and may be unable to communicate with each other. Note that some Access Points will broadcast their SSID, allowing Wireless stations to adopt the correct SSID. This makes it easier for the clients to locate the correct AP. If the SSID is not broadcast, the client can still connect to the AP by entering the correct SSID and other data. ESS A group of Wireless Stations, and multiple Access Points, all using the same ID (ESSID), form an Extended Service Set (ESS). 95 Wireless Router User Guide 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. In the USA and Canada, 11 channel are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference. In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.) If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join. WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted. This is desirable because it is impossible to prevent snoopers from receiving any data which is transmitted by your Wireless Stations. But if the data is encrypted, then it is meaningless unless the receiver can decrypt it. If WEP is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the following:
WEP Key Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit For 64 Bit encryption, the Key value must match. For 128 Bit encryption, the Key value must match WEP Authentication Open System or Shared Key. WPA-PSK WPA-PSK is another standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted. This is a later stan-
dard than WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), and provides greater security for your data. Data is encrypted using a 256Bit key which is automatically generated and changed often. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use this instead of WEP. If WPA-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the following:
WPA PSK
(Pre-shared Key) Encryption Enter the same value on every station and the AP. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length. The 256Bit key used for the actual encryption is derived from this key. The same encryption method must be used. The most common encryption method is TKIP. Another widely-
96 Appendix A - Troubleshooting supported method is AES. Wireless LAN Configuration To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings, as follows:
Mode On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastructure".
(The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.) Most Wireless stations will set the correct mode automatically. SSID (ESSID) Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access Point they wish to connect to. Alternatively, the SSID can be set to "any" or null (blank) to allow connection to any Access Point. Security The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings for Wireless security. (Off, WEP, WPA-PSK). WEP: If WEP is used, the Key size (64Bit, 128Bit), Key value, and Au-
thentication settings must be the same on the Wireless Stations and the Access Point. WPA-PSK: If WPA-PSK is used, all Wireless Stations must be set to use WPA-PSK, and have the same Pre-shared Key and encryption system. For Ad-hoc networks (no Access Point), all Wireless stations must use the same security settings. 97 C Appendix C Specifications Multi-Function Wireless Router Model Dimensions Operating Temperature Storage Temperature Wireless Router 141mm(W) * 100mm(D) * 27mm(H) 0 C to 40 C

5. Test of Radiated Emission 5.1 Test Limit FCC Test Report: FE05051803-A Radiated emissions from 30 MHz to 40 GHz were measured according to the methods defines in ANSI C63.4-2003. The EUT was placed, 0.8 meter above the ground plane, as shown in section 1.4.2. The interface cables and equipment positions were varied within limits of reasonable applications to determine the positions producing maximum radiated emissions 5.2 Test Procedures 1.The EUT was placed on a rotatable table top 0.8 meter above ground. 2.The EUT was set 3 meters from the interference receiving antenna which was mounted on the top of a variable height antenna tower. 3.The table was rotated 360 degrees to determine the position of the highest radiation. 4.The antenna is a broadband antenna and its height is varied between one meter and four meters above ground to find the maximum value of the field strength both horizontal polarization and vertical polarization of the antenna are set to make the measurement. 5.For each suspected emission the EUT was arranged to its worst case and then tune the antenna tower (from 1 M to 4 M) and turn table (from 0 degree to 360 degrees) to find the maximum reading. 6.Set the test-receiver system to Peak or CISPR quasi-peak Detect Function and specified bandwidth with Maximum Hold Mode. 7.If the emission level of the EUT in peak mode was 3 dB lower than the limit specified, then testing will be stopped and peak values of EUT will be reported, otherwise, the emissions which do not have 3 dB margin will be repeated one by one using the quasi-peak method and reported. 8.For testing above 1GHz, the emission level of the EUT in peak mode was 20dB lower than average limit (that means the emission level in peak mode also complies with the limit in average mode), then testing will be stopped and peak values of EUT will be reported, otherwise, the emissions will be measured in average mode again and reported.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 July 21, 2005 RE:
FCC ID:
SerComm Corporation P27IP906SM After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. 1) The 731 form should be updated to list both DTS and NII equipment codes as the NII is applicable to the 5150 5350 band of operation. 2) The 731 form should list actual tunable frequencies for Part 15 devices, not simply ranges of operation. Please correct for the 5 GHz bands. 3) The 731 form states a low frequency of 5125 MHz. This is below the FCC allowed band of operation which starts at 5150 MHz. Please explain. 4) The users manual appears to show in the graphic section that you can select the region of the world (page 22). This is not allowed for devices shipped to the U.S as the end user is not allowed to have this freedom. Additionally the selectable channels may only be for channels approved for use in the U.S. Please explain how the device is compliant and adjust the manual as necessary. 5) The output power given on page 102 of the users manual is not consistent with the information presented in the application. The power information must be consistent throughout the application. Please review/correct as necessary. 6) Section 15.15(b) prohibits adjustments of any control by the user that will cause operation of a device in violation of the regulations. Accordingly, any proposal to allow the end user to choose extended channels on frequencies outside of an allowable frequency band in the USA is not acceptable. For example, a WLAN device operating according to Section 15.247 on channels 1-11 between 2.4 - 2.483.5 GHz must not have any user controls or software to allow the device to operate on channels 12 and 13 which are outside of the allowed USA band. For instance, the user should not be able to select alternative countries which would allow different channel plans outside of the allowed USA band. Please explain how this device is compliant to this requirement. 7) Test equipment for 5 GHz report section 5.4 does not appear to support measurements up to 40 GHz. For example, what amplifiers or other device were used in the range above 26.5 GHz. How was effective dynamic range achieved for higher frequency measurements (closer distances, etc.) Please review. Information to the user regarding compliance to 15.407(e) could not be found in the users manual. Please adjust. Information regarding compliance to 15.407(c) could not be located in the application. Please provide. 10) For 5 GHz peak power and PSD tests following the UNII procedure public notice (see attachment), it would be helpful to define which procedure was used for each of these measurements in the test report. It appears that method 3 was used to measure power. Which method was used for spectral density? If method 2, was power averaging (not video averaging) utilized? Please confirm. 11) Power spectral density results following UNII procedures appear over the FCC limits for all measurements made. Please review. Additionally, when reporting final measurements, please compare the results obtained to the limit. 12) Why does the power measurements between sections 6.3 and 12.3 differ for the high 5 GHz band.

FCC ID:
SerComm Corporation P27IP906SM After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. 1) Section 15.15(b) prohibits adjustments of any control by the user that will cause operation of a device in violation of the regulations. Accordingly, any proposal to allow the end user to choose extended channels on frequencies outside of an allowable frequency band in the USA is not acceptable. For example, a WLAN device operating according to Section 15.247 on channels 1-11 between 2.4 - 2.483.5 GHz must not have any user controls or software to allow the device to operate on channels 12 and 13 which are outside of the allowed USA band. For instance, the user should not be able to select alternative countries which would allow different channel plans outside of the allowed USA band. Please explain how this device is compliant to this requirement. 2) Test equipment for 5 GHz report section 5.4 does not appear to support measurements up to 40 GHz. For example, what amplifiers or other device were used in the range above 26.5 GHz. How was effective dynamic range achieved for higher frequency measurements (closer distances, etc.). It appears that only the antenna and spectrum analyzer may have operated in the proper ranges, but given the gain of the antennas, how can proper dynamic range for measurements be achieved? Please review. Information regarding compliance to 15.407(c) could not be located in the application. Please provide. 4) Why does the power measurements between sections 6.3 and 12.3 differ for the high 5 GHz band. The method for UNII and DTS power measurement method 3 is the same (see attachments). Please review/explain/correct as necessary. 5) FYI.The 731 form still does not list actual tunable frequencies for 5 GHz frequencies. Please 3) correct this on future applications. Timothy R.

Dear Tim, I just uploaded a updated users manual to your website, please check. And the data transmission is always initiated by software, which is then pass down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets (ACKs, CTS, PSPoll, etc...) are initiated by MAC. There are the only ways digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets are being transmitted. Thank you very much. Best Regards, Ivy

The EUT was placed on a rotatable table top 0.8 meter above ground. 2. The EUT was set 3 meters from the interference receiving antenna which was mounted on the top of a variable height antenna tower. 3. The table was rotated 360 degrees to determine the position of the highest radiation. 4. The antenna is a broadband antenna and its height is varied between one meter and four meters above ground to find the maximum value of the field strength both horizontal polarization and vertical polarization of the antenna are set to make the measurement. 5. For each suspected emission the EUT was arranged to its worst case and then tune the antenna tower (from 1 M to 4 M) and turn table (from 0 degree to 360 degrees) to find the maximum reading. 6. Set the test-receiver system to Peak or CISPR quasi-peak Detect Function and specified 7. bandwidth with Maximum Hold Mode. If the emission level of the EUT in peak mode was 3 dB lower than the limit specified, then testing will be stopped and peak values of EUT will be reported, otherwise, the emissions which do not have 3 dB margin will be repeated one by one using the quasi-peak method and reported. 8. For testing above 1GHz, the emission level of the EUT in peak mode was 20dB lower than average limit (that means the emission level in peak mode also complies with the limit in average mode), then testing will be stopped and peak values of EUT will be reported, otherwise, the emissions will be measured in average mode again and reported.
