Since most hosts cannot process VLAN tags, connect the management host to the network via a switch, and set up correct VLAN settings to ensure the communication between the host and the device in the management VLAN. 72 Go to the page. In the section, enable the Management VLAN function, specify VLAN ID and click Apply. Then click Save. Management VLAN Enable or disable the Management VLAN function. By default, it is disabled. VLAN ID Specify the Management VLAN ID. The valid values are from 2 to 4094. 4.4 Note:

Forwarding submenu is only available in AP Router Mode and AP Client Router (WISP Client) Mode. The IP address used on the internet is public IP address, while IP address used on local area network is private IP address. The hosts using private IP addresses cannot access the internet directly and vice versa. The hosts using private IP addresses visit internet through NAT (Network Address Translation) technology. NAT can transfer private IP addresses into public IP addresses to realize the communication from internal hosts to external hosts. If the hosts on the internet want to visit the hosts on local area network, the forwarding function should be used, including DMZ, Virtual server, Port triggering and UPnP. Go to the page. In the section, configure the following parameters and click Apply. Then click Save. DMZ Enable or disable the DMZ function. DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) specifically allows one computer/device behind NAT to become demilitarized, so all packets from the external network are forwarded to this computer/device. The demilitarized host is exposed to the wide area network, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication between internal hosts and external hosts. 73 DMZ IP ALG Specify the IP address of the local host network device. The DMZ host device will be completely exposed to the external network. Any PC that was used for a DMZ must have a static or reserved IP Address because its IP Address may change when using the DHCP function. Select the type of ALG to enable the corresponding feature. Common NAT only translates the address of packets at network layer and the port number at transport layer but cannot deal with the packets with embedded source/destination information in the application layer. Application layer gateway (ALG) can deal with protocols with embedded source/destination information in the application payload. Some protocols such as FTP, TFTP, H323 and RTSP require ALG (Application Layer Gateway) support to pass through NAT.

Allows FTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT.

Allows TFTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT.

Allows Microsoft NetMeeting clients to communicate across NAT.

Allows some media player clients to communicate with some streaming media servers across NAT. 74 Virtual Server Enable or disable Virtual Server. Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your local area network, such as DNS, Email and FTP. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from the internet to this service port will be redirected to the LAN server. Virtual Server function not only makes the users from internet visit the local area network, but also keeps network security within the intranet as other services are still invisible from internet. The LAN server must have a static or reserved IP Address because its IP Address may change when using the DHCP function. To configure Virtual Server:

Click Add, specify the following parameters and Enable the entry. Click Save.

Enter the IP Address of the PC providing the service application.

Enter the Internal Port number of the PC running the service application. You can leave it blank if the Internal Port is the same as the Service Port, or enter a specific port number.

Enter the numbers of external Service Port. You can type a service port or a range of service ports (the format is XXX YYY, XXX is the start port, YYY is the end port). Internet users send request to the port for services.

Choose the one of the protocols used for this application: TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP. 75 Port Trigger Enable or disable port trigger. Due to the existence of the firewall, some applications such as online games, video conferences, VoIPs and P2P downloads need the device to configure the forwarding to work properly, and these applications require multiple ports connection, for single-port virtual server cannot meet the demand. Port trigger function comes at this time. When an application initiates a connection to the trigger port, all the incoming ports will open for subsequent connections. To configure port trigger:

Click Add, specify the following parameters and Enable the entry. Click Save.

Enter the incoming port for incoming traffic. The port or port range is used by the remote system when it responds to the outgoing request. A response to one of these ports will be forwarded to the PC that triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port section). Every group of ports must be set apart with ,. For example, 2000-2038, 2050-2051, 2085, 3010-3030.

Enter the trigger port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using this port will Trigger this rule.

Choose the one of the protocols used for this application: TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP. 76 UPnP Enable or disable UPnP. If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should enable the UPnP function. The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) function allows the devices, such as internet computers, to access the local host resources or devices as needed. Host in the local area network can automatically open the corresponding ports on a router, and make the application of external host access the resources of the internal host through the opened ports. Therefore, the functions limited to the NAT can work properly. Compared to virtual server and port triggering, the application of UPnP doesnt need manual settings. It is more convenient for some applications required unfixed ports.

Displays the description provided by the application in the UPnP request.

Displays the external port number that the router opened for the service application.

Displays the internal service port number of the local host running the service application.

Displays which type of protocol is opened.

Displays the IP address of the local host which initiates the UPnP request.

Enabled means that port is still active. Otherwise, the port is inactive. 4.5 Note:

Security submenu is only available in AP Router Mode and AP Client Router (WISP Client) Mode. Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) is a firewall that keeps track of the state of network connections (such as TCP streams, UDP communication) traveling across it. The firewall is programmed to distinguish legitimate packets for different types of connections. Only packets matching a known active connection will be allowed to pass through by the firewall and others will be rejected. SPI Firewall is enabled by factory default. 77

Go to the page. In the section, configure the following parameters and click Apply. SPI Firewall Check the Enable box to use the SPI Firewall function. If forwarding rules are enabled at the same time, the device will give priority to meet forwarding rules. Ping Select and enable the ping forbidden function.

Enable or disable this function. With this option enabled, the device will not reply the ping request originates from internet. By default, it is disabled.

Enable or disable this function. With this option enabled, the device will not reply the ping request originates from local network. VPN Select and enable the VPN function. A VPN is created by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, virtual tunneling protocols, or traffic encryptions. Through VPN you can access your private network over internet. A virtual private network connection across the internet is similar to a wide area network (WAN) link between sites. From a user perspective, the extended network resources are accessed in the same way as resources available within the private network. When hosts in the local area network want to visit the remote virtual private network using virtual tunneling protocols, the corresponding VPN protocol should be enabled.

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) allows the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be tunneled through an IP (Internet Protocol) network. Check the box to allow PPTP tunnels to pass through the Device.

L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) is the method used to enable Point-to-Point connections via the internet on the Layer Two level. Check the box to allow L2TP tunnels to pass through the Device.

IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is a suite of protocols for ensuring private, secure communications over IP (Internet Protocol) networks, through the use of cryptographic security services. Check the box to allow IPSec tunnels to pass through the Device. 78

In the section, configure the following parameters and click Apply. DoS Protection Enable the DoS Protection and specify the parameters. DoS (Denial of Service) Attack is to occupy the network bandwidth maliciously by the network attackers or the evil programs sending a lot of service requests to the Host, which incurs an abnormal service or even breakdown of the network. With DoS Protection function enabled, the device can analyze the specific fields of the IP packets and distinguish the malicious DoS attack packets. Upon detecting the packets, the device will discard the illegal packets directly and limit the transmission rate of the legal packets if the over legal packets may incur a breakdown of the network. The hosts sending these packets will be added into the Blocked DoS Host List. The device can defend a few types of DoS attack such as ICMP_FLOOD, UDP_FLOOD and TCP_SYN_ FLOOD.

Select a value between 5 and 60 seconds from the drop-down list. The default value is 10. The value indicates the time interval of the packets statistics. The result of the statistic is used for analysis by ICMP-Flood, UDP Flood and TCP-SYN Flood.

Enter a value between 5 and 3600. The default value is 50. When the current ICMP-FLOOD Packets number is beyond the set value, the device will start up the blocking function immediately.

Static Routing submenu is only available in AP Router Mode and AP Client Router (WISP Client) Mode. A static route is a pre-determined path that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. If static route is used properly in the network, it can decrease the network overhead and improve the speed of forwarding packets. Static routing is generally suitable for simple network environment, in which users clearly understand the topology of the network so as to set the routing information correctly. When the network topology is complicated and users are not so familiar with the topology structure, this function should be used with caution or under the guidance of the experienced administrator. 81

Within the local network, the device transmits IP packets to the certain target identified by the MAC address. Therefore, the IP and MAC address should be one-to-

one correspondence and their corresponding relations are maintained by the ARP table. ARP attack can use forged information to renewal the ARP table, and destroy the corresponding relations between IP and MAC addresses, which would prevent the communication between the device and the corresponding host. When the IP&MAC Binding function is enabled, the IP and MAC relations in the ARP table wont be expired and renewed automatically, which effectively prevents the ARP attack. Some functions such as access control and bandwidth control, are based on the IP addresses to identify the access clients. The network administrator can allocate every client a static IP, according to which he makes the access and bandwidth rules to control the clients online behavior and the bandwidth theyve used. Some illegal users may change the IP address in order to get higher internet access. Enabling IP & MAC binding function can effectively prevent the IP embezzlement. Note:

After IP & MAC binding function is enabled, the IP bound to the MAC cannot be used by other MACs. However this MAC can use other IPs within the same segment, which are not bounded by other MACs, to access the network.

Go to the page. In the section, click Add and specify the IP address and MAC address. Tips:

Click Import to quick import the entries in ARP table to IP & MAC Binding table. The imported entries are disabled by default. Select the desired entries and click Edit to enable it. 84 IP MAC Enter the IP address that you want to bind with the MAC address. Enter the MAC address that you want to bind with the IP address.

5 This chapter introduces how to configure the parameters of the wireless network, including:

5.1 Configure Basic Wireless Parameters 5.2 Configure Wireless Client Parameters 5.3 Configure Wireless AP Parameters 5.4 Configure Multi-SSID 5.5 Configure Wireless MAC Filtering 5.6 Configure Advanced Wireless Parameters 86 5.1 This section allows you to configure wireless basic parameters, such as 802.11 mode, Transmit Power, and data rates. Go to the Page. In the section, configure the basic wireless settings and click Apply. Then click Save. Region Specify the region where you use the device. Available channels and maximum Transmit Power will be determined by the selected region according to the local laws and regulations. Mode Select the protocol standard used in the wireless network. With a frequency band of 2.4GHz, CPE210/CPE220/WBS210 supports five wireless modes: 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11b/g and 802.11b/g/n. We recommend you to set the mode as 11b/g/n mixed, and all of 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n wireless stations can connect to the device. CPE510/CPE610/WBS510 has a frequency band of 5GHz, supporting 802.11a, 802.11n and 802.11a/n modes. We recommend you to set the mode as 11a/n, allowing both 802.11a and 802.11n wireless stations to access the device. 87 Channel Width Select the channel width of this device. Options include 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz, 40 MHz and 20/40 MHz (the device automatically selects 40 MHz, and 20 MHz will be used if 40 MHz is not available). According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a channel width of 40 MHz can increase wireless throughput. However, you may need choose lower bandwidth due to the following reasons:

To increase the available number of channels within the limited total bandwidth.

To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other devices in the environment.

Lower bandwidth can concentrate higher transmit power, increasing stability of wireless links over long distances.

In Client / AP Client Router / Repeater / Bridge Mode, the device should have the same channel width as the root AP.

In Access Point / AP Router / Repeater / Bridge Mode, select the channel width which your clients support. Max TX Rate Set the maximum transmit data rate. Channel/

Frequency Select appropriate channel used by this device to improve wireless performance. 1/2412 MHz refers to Channel 1 and the frequency is 2412 MHz. This setting is only available in Access Point Mode and AP Router Mode. CPE210/CPE220/WBS210 is a device with a frequency of 2.4GHz and CPE510/CPE610/WBS510 has a frequency of 5GHz. We highly recommend that you use the Spectrum Analysis tool to select a proper channel. Antenna Select your antenna from the list. Antenna Gain Antenna Gain is only available in WBS products. Enter the antenna gain value according to the antennas and the value ranges from 0 to 30dBi. It can work together with the transmit power to improve the transmit signal quality. EIRP Limit This option should remain enabled. With EIRP Limit enabled, the transmit power is restricted so that the EIRP (Effecitive Isotropic Radiated Power) of the device is kept below the amount which is allowed in the selected region. 88 Channel Shifting

Only CPE210(US) 2.0, CPE210(UN/EU/ES) 3.0, CPE220(UN) 3.0 and WBS210(UN) 2.0 support this function. Enable or disable the Channel Shifting function. This function is only available when MAXtream is enabled in Access Point Mode and AP Router Mode. Channel Shifting is a TP-Link proprietary technology. With Channel Shifting enabled, the AP will use non-standard channels by adding a frequency offset to the standard 802.11 b/g/n channels. Your network can then only be detected by the wireless devices with Channel Shifting enabled and so is less likely to be detected by other wireless networks, which benefits network security. Transmit Power Specify the transmit power of the device. Use the slider or manually enter the transmit power value. For WBS210 and WBS510, the maximum transmit power varies according to the antenna gain value. MAXtream In most scenarios, it is unnecessary to select the maximum transmit power. Selecting larger transmit power than your need may cause interference to neighborhood. Also it consumes more power and will reduce longevity of the device. Select appropriate transmit power to achieve the best performance. Use the Speed Test tool to find the best performance. Enable or disable the MAXtream function. This function is only available in Access Point Mode and AP Router Mode. MAXtream is a TP-Link proprietary technology. It is based on TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) so that data streams are transmitted in their own time slots. MAXtream aims to maximize throughput and minimize latency. Hidden nodes problem can also be eliminated with MAXtream enabled.

MAXtream Technology is only compatible with Pharos series products. Working with products from other manufacturer will cause network fault. MAXtream Station Mode MAXtream Station Mode is available in Client Mode, Bridge Mode and AP Client Router Mode with the wireless AP settings disabled.

The device will choose the MAXtream Station Mode automatically.

Set the MAXtream Station Mode as Latency First and the time sensitive stream such as VoIP will take precedence in MAXtream system.

Set the MAXtream Station Mode as Throughput First and the stream that needs high throughput such as online games will take precedence in MAXtream system. 89 5.2 Note:

Click Save and click Apply. Then click Save. 5.6 This section is used to specify the advanced wireless parameters, such as Beacon Interval, RTS threshold and DTIM Interval. 102 Go to the page. In the section, specify the following parameters and click Apply. Then click Save. Distance Setting Specify the distance between AP and Station. If this device serves as a client, the value is the distance between this device and the root AP. If this device serves as an AP, the value is the distance between the farthest client and this AP. You can manually enter the value or enable the Auto option.

Enter the distance manually in the input box. The value is limited to 0-200km, and we recommend you set the value to 110% of the real distance.

Check the Auto option, then the system will dynamically detect the distance. This function is available only when the distance is less than xx kilometers. The value xx varies according to the channel width you set. CPE210 does not support this option. The distance value will be converted to a corresponding ACK timeout value, and the ACK timeout value will influence the throughput performance to a large extent. Long Rage PtP is only available when MAXtream function is enabled. With this function enabled, it is allowed to specify a larger distance which can be helpful in the following situations:

The AP is connected to a single client or AP.

The distance between the two devices exceeds the distance allowed by the APs hardware specifications. The distance is used to calculate the Acknowledge timeout (ACK timeout). Long Range PtP allows the AP to get a larger ACK timeout and reduce unnecessary retransmission in the situations above. Long Range PtP Note: Only WBS510, WBS210 and CPE610 support this feature. 103 Beacon Interval Specify the beacon interval for the device. Beacons are transmitted periodically by the device to announce the presence of a wireless network for the clients. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons sent by the device. Specify a value from 40 to 1,000. The default value is 100. RTS Threshold Specify the RTS threshold for the device. RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) is used to improve the data transmission efficiency of the network with hidden nodes, especially when there are lots of large packets to be transmitted. When the size of a data packet is larger than the RTS Threshold, the RTS/

CTS mechanism will be activated. With this mechanism activated, before sending a data packet, the client will send an RTS packet to the device to request data transmitting. And then the device will send CTS packet to inform other clients to delay their data transmitting. In this way, packet collisions can be avoided. For a busy network with hidden nodes, a low threshold value will help reduce interference and packet collisions. But for a not-so-busy network, a too low threshold value will cause bandwidth wasting and reduce the data throughput. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes. The fragmentation function can limit the size of packets transmitted over the network. If the size of a packet exceeds the Fragmentation Threshold, the fragmentation function is activated and the packet will be fragmented into several packets. Fragmentation helps improve network performance if properly configured. However, a too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless performance caused by the extra work of dividing up and reassembling of frames and increased message traffic. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes. Fragmentation Threshold Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets. DTIM Interval Specify the DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval for the device. The DTIM is contained in some Beacon frames. It indicates whether the device has buffered data for client devices. The indicates how often the clients served by this device should check for buffered data still on the device awaiting pickup. Specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, indicating that clients check for buffered data at every beacon. An excessive DTIM interval may reduce the performance of multicast applications, so we recommend you keep the default value. 104 AP Isolation Enable or disable AP Isolation. With this feature enabled, the clients can not communicate with each other directly.

AP Isolation is not available in Client Mode. Short GI Enable or disable Short GI. Propagation delays often occurs in data transmission process and influence the capability of the wireless network. It can result from multiple factors, such as multipath effect. GI (Guard Interval) is intended to solve the problem based on delays, and Short GI is used to improve the throughput of the wireless network based on the GI in the environment with small delays. When the delays are small. When Short GI is enabled, the guard interval will be set as 400ns and this function will boost the performance about 11%. In the with serious multipath time delay. Short GI function will reduce the throughput instead of improving it. Wi-Fi Multimedia
