Configure Wireless Network Security The following page allows you to configure wireless security:
Figure 36: Wireless Network: Security page You can protect your wireless data from potential eavesdroppers by encrypting wireless data transmissions. An eavesdropper might set up a compatible wireless adapter within range of your device and attempt to access your network. Data encryption is the translation of data into a form that cannot be easily understood by unauthorized users. There are two methods of wireless security to choose from:
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP); data is encrypted into blocks of either 64 bits length or 128 bits length. The encrypted data can only be sent and received by users with access to a private network key. Each PC on your wireless network must be manually configured with the same key as your device in order to allow wireless encrypted data transmissions. Eavesdroppers cannot access your network if they do not know your private key. WEP is considered to be a low security option. 48
! Users Guide
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA); provides a stronger data encryption method (called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP)). It runs in a special, easy-to-set-up home mode called Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that allows you to manually enter a pass phrase on all the devices in your wireless network. WPA data encryption is based on a WPA master key. The master key is derived from the pass phrase and the network name (SSID) of the device. To configure security, choose one of the following options:
If you do not want to use Wireless Network security, click the Off radio button and then click Next>.

12 Internet Access This chapter describes how to configure the way that your device connects to the Internet. Your ISP determines what type of Internet access you should use and provides you with any information that you need in order to configure the Internet access to your device. Your device needs the following address information in order to access the Internet:
IP address and subnet mask:
The IP address and subnet mask assigned to your WAN interface. Default gateway:
DNS servers:
The gateway address that identifies the ISP server through which your Internet connection will be routed. The Dynamic Name System (DNS) servers used by your ISP to dynamically assign addresses to each of the computers attached to your LAN. In most cases, you will not need to configure your device with these addresses because your ISP is likely to use an Internet access type which automatically assigns addresses to your device. For more information, see Types of Internet Access on page 66. Types of Internet Access The types of Internet access available are as follows:
Automatic Internet access your device scans the Internet via the DSL connection in order to find a link to the ISPs Internet service. The IP addresses required to access your ISPs Internet service are automatically configured. PPP Internet access your device uses a Point to Point Protocol (PPP) to carry data between your ISP and your computer. To use PPP Internet access, you must enter a PPP login username and password the first time to log on. The IP addresses required to access your ISPs Internet service are automatically configured. Your device supports two types of PPP PPPoE (over Ethernet) and PPPoA (over ATM). DHCP your ISP uses a protocol called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign addresses and manage your device. The device is automatically assigned the IP addresses that it needs to access the Internet. Manual you manually assign the addresses that your device needs in order to access the Internet. Your ISP should provide you with the necessary addresses. 66

password so they can check that you are a legitimate, registered Internet service user. Your device stores these authentication details, so you will not have to enter this username and password every time you login. Your ISP may also tell you to set unique path and circuit numbers (called VPI and VCI) in order to connect your device to the ISPs Internet service. In most cases, your device will use default settings, so you may not need to enter these values. Note Your ISP will provide you with the login details and VPI/VCI values necessary to set up a PPP login account. If your ISP wants you to connect to the Internet using PPP, follow the instructions below. 1. From the left-hand Setup menu, click on Internet Access. The following page is displayed:

If you have configured PPPoE Internet access, notice that an extra configuration option called MAC Spoofing appears on this page:
Figure 74:
Internet Access: PPPoE page MAC spoofing allows you to set the Media Access Control
(MAC) address of your device. See Enabling MAC spoofing on page 10 for more details. Enabling MAC spoofing You should only enable MAC spoofing if your ISP has requested that you do so. In most cases, you will not need to do this. Your ISP identifies your modem by its unique hardware number or Media Access Control (MAC) address. If you are using PPPoE Internet access, your ISP may want you to spoof the identity of a different device. You can spoof the MAC address of another device by replacing your devices existing MAC address with another devices address. Your ISP will provide you with the replacement MAC address. You can only configure MAC spoofing if you are using PPPoE Internet access. This option is not available for PPPoA. If your ISP instructs you to change your devices default MAC address, follow the instructions below:

The IP address and subnet mask to be assigned to each PC to which you will be assigning static IP information. The IP address of the default gateway for your LAN. In most cases, this is the address assigned to the LAN port on the
! . By default, the LAN port is assigned this IP address: 192.168.1.1. (You can change this number, or another number can be assigned by your ISP. See Addressing on page 42 for more information.) The IP address of your ISPs Domain Name System (DNS) server. On each PC to which you want to assign static information, follow the instructions on pages 82 through 87 relating only to checking for and/or installing the IP protocol. Once it is installed, continue to follow the instructions for displaying each of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties. Instead of enabling dynamic assignment of the IP addresses for the computer, DNS server and default gateway, click the radio buttons that enable you to enter the information manually. Note Your PCs must have IP addresses that place them in the same subnet as the ! s LAN port. If you manually assign IP information to all your LAN PCs, you can follow the instructions in Addressing on page 42 to change the LAN port IP address accordingly. 88

! Users Guide IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets B IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets IP Addresses Note This section refers only to IP addresses for IPv4 (version 4 of the Internet Protocol). IPv6 addresses are not covered. This section assumes basic knowledge of binary numbers, bits, and bytes. IP addresses, the Internet's version of telephone numbers, are used to identify individual nodes (computers or devices) on the Internet. Every IP address contains four numbers, each from 0 to 255 and separated by dots (periods), e.g. 20.56.0.211. These numbers are called, from left to right, field1, field2, field3, and field4. This style of writing IP addresses as decimal numbers separated by dots is called dotted decimal notation. The IP address 20.56.0.211 is read "twenty dot fifty-six dot zero dot two-eleven."
Structure of an IP address IP addresses have a hierarchical design similar to that of telephone numbers. For example, a 7-digit telephone number starts with a 3-
digit prefix that identifies a group of thousands of telephone lines, and ends with four digits that identify one specific line in that group. Similarly, IP addresses contain two kinds of information:
Network ID Identifies a particular network within the Internet or intranet Host ID Identifies a particular computer or device on the network The first part of every IP address contains the network ID, and the rest of the address contains the host ID. The length of the network ID depends on the network's class (see following section). The table below shows the structure of an IP address. Field1 Field2 Field4 Network ID Class A Class B Class C Here are some examples of valid IP addresses:
Network ID Network ID Host ID Host ID Field3 Host ID Class A: 10.30.6.125 (network = 10, host = 30.6.125) Class B: 129.88.16.49 (network = 129.88, host = 16.49) Class C: 192.60.201.11 (network = 192.60.201, host = 11) 99
! Users Guide IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets Network classes The three commonly used network classes are A, B, and C. (There is also a class D but it has a special use beyond the scope of this discussion.) These classes have different uses and characteristics. Class A networks are the Internet's largest networks, each with room for over 16 million hosts. Up to 126 of these huge networks can exist, for a total of over 2 billion hosts. Because of their huge size, these networks are used for WANs and by organizations at the infrastructure level of the Internet, such as your ISP. Class B networks are smaller but still quite large, each able to hold over 65,000 hosts. There can be up to 16,384 class B networks in existence. A class B network might be appropriate for a large organization such as a business or government agency. Class C networks are the smallest, only able to hold 254 hosts at most, but the total possible number of class C networks exceeds 2 million (2,097,152 to be exact). LANs connected to the Internet are usually class C networks. Definition mask Some important notes regarding IP addresses:
The class can be determined easily from field1:
field1 = 1-126:
field1 = 128-191:
field1 = 192-223:
(field1 values not shown are reserved for special uses) Class A Class B Class C A host ID can have any value except all fields set to 0 or all fields set to 255, as those values are reserved for special uses. Subnet masks A mask looks like a regular IP address, but contains a pattern of bits that tells what parts of an IP address are the network ID and what parts are the host ID: bits set to 1 mean "this bit is part of the network ID" and bits set to 0 mean "this bit is part of the host ID."
Subnet masks are used to define subnets (what you get after dividing a network into smaller pieces). A subnet's network ID is created by "borrowing" one or more bits from the host ID portion of the address. The subnet mask identifies these host ID bits. For example, consider a class C network 192.168.1. To split this into two subnets, you would use the subnet mask:
255.255.255.128 It's easier to see what's happening if we write this in binary:
11111111. 11111111. 11111111.10000000 As with any class C address, all of the bits in field1 through field3 are part of the network ID, but note how the mask specifies that the first bit in field4 is also included. Since this extra bit has only two 100
! Users Guide IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets values (0 and 1), this means there are two subnets. Each subnet uses the remaining 7 bits in field4 for its host IDs, which range from 1 to 126 hosts (instead of the usual 0 to 255 for a class C address). Similarly, to split a class C network into four subnets, the mask is:
255.255.255.192 or 11111111. 11111111. 11111111.11000000 The two extra bits in field4 can have four values (00, 01, 10, 11), so there are four subnets. Each subnet uses the remaining six bits in field4 for its host IDs, ranging from 1 to 62. Sometimes a subnet mask does not specify any additional network ID bits, and thus no subnets. Such a mask is called a default subnet mask. These masks are:
Note Class A:
Class B:
Class C:
255.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 255.255.255.0 These are called default because they are used when a network is initially configured, at which time it has no subnets. 101

(To check: hold the connectors at each end of the cable side-by-side with the plastic spring facing down. Looking at the wires from left to right, if the first, second, third, and sixth wires are the same color on the two connectors, then it is a straight-through type. On a cross-over type, wire 1 on one connector should be the same color as wire 3 on the other. The same is true of wires 2 and 6.) Verify that your cable is sufficient for your network requirements.

The channels available depend on which country the wireless network is operating in. Your ISP provides details of the channel(s) you should use. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP automates address assignment and management. When a computer connects to the LAN, DHCP assigns it an IP address from a shared pool of IP addresses; after a specified time limit, DHCP returns the address to the pool. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol relay A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data between computers that request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each of the ! 's interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. See DHCP. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server A DHCP server is a computer that is responsible for assigning IP addresses to the computers on a LAN. See DHCP. Of data, having a form based on discrete values expressed as binary numbers (0's and 1's). The data component in DSL is a digital signal. See also analog. Domain Name System The DNS maps domain names into IP addresses. DNS information is distributed hierarchically throughout the Internet among computers called DNS servers. For example, www.yahoo.com is the domain name associated with IP address 216.115.108.243. When you start to access a web site, a DNS server looks up the requested domain name to find its corresponding IP address. If the DNS server cannot find the IP address, it communicates with higher-level DNS servers to determine the IP address. See also domain name. A domain name is a user-friendly name used in place of its associated IP address. Domain names must be unique; their assignment is controlled by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Domain names are a key element of URLs, which identify a specific file at a web site. See also DNS. To transfer data in the downstream direction, i.e., from the Internet to the user. Digital Subscriber Line A technology that allows both digital data and analog voice signals to travel over existing copper telephone lines. encryption keys See network keys 112

Ethernet data rates are 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. See also 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, twisted pair. File Transfer Protocol A program used to transfer files between computers connected to the Internet. Common uses include uploading new or updated files to a web server, and downloading files from a web server. Abbreviation for Gigabits (GIG-uh-bits) per second, or one billion bits per second. Internet data rates are often expressed in Gbps. A device (usually a computer) connected to a network. Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol HTTP is the main protocol used to transfer data from web sites so that it can be displayed by web browsers. See also web browser, web site. A hub is a place of convergence where data arrives from one or more directions and is forwarded out in one or more directions. It usually includes a switch of some kind. It connects an Ethernet bridge/router to a group of PCs on a LAN and allows communication to pass between the networked devices. Internet Control Message Protocol An Internet protocol used to report errors and other network-
related information. The ping command makes use of ICMP. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is a technical professional society that fosters the development of standards that often become national and international standards. The global collection of interconnected networks used for both private and business communications. A private, company-internal network that looks like part of the Internet (users access information using web browsers), but is accessible only by employees. See TCP/IP. Internet Protocol address The address of a host (computer) on the Internet, consisting of four numbers, each from 0 to 255, separated by periods, e.g., 209.191.4.240. An IP address consists of a network ID that identifies the particular network the host belongs to, and a host ID uniquely identifying the host itself on that network. A network mask is used to define the network ID and the host ID. Because IP addresses are difficult to remember, they usually have an associated domain name that can be specified instead. See also domain name, network mask. 113

Local Area Network A network limited to a small geographic area, such as a home, office, or small building. Light Emitting Diode An electronic light-emitting device. The indicator lights on the front of the ! are LEDs. Media Access Control address The permanent hardware address of a device, assigned by its manufacturer. MAC addresses are expressed as six pairs of hex characters, with each pair separated by colons. For example;
NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN. See network mask. Abbreviation for Megabits per second, or one million bits per second. Network data rates are often expressed in Mbps. Network Address Translation A service performed by many routers that translates your networks publicly known IP address into a private IP address for each computer on your LAN. Only your router and your LAN know these addresses; the outside world sees only the public IP address when talking to a computer on your LAN. A group of computers that are connected together, allowing them to communicate with each other and share resources, such as software, files, etc. A network can be small, such as a LAN, or very large, such as the Internet.
(also known as encryption keys) 64-bit and 128-bit encryption keys used in WEP wireless security schemes. The keys encrypt data over the WLAN, and only wireless PCs configured with WEP keys that correspond to the keys configured on the device can send/receive encrypted data. A network mask is a sequence of bits applied to an IP address to select the network ID while ignoring the host ID. Bits set to 1 mean "select this bit" while bits set to 0 mean "ignore this bit."
For example, if the network mask 255.255.255.0 is applied to the IP address 100.10.50.1, the network ID is 100.10.50, and the host ID is 1. See also binary, IP address, subnet, "IP Addresses Explained" section. Network Interface Card An adapter card that plugs into your computer and provides the physical interface to your network cabling, which for Ethernet NICs is typically an RJ-45 connector. See Ethernet, RJ-45. Data transmitted on a network consists of units called packets. Each packet contains a payload (the data), plus overhead 114

A secret password used in WPA wireless data encryption. Encryption is based on a WPA master key that is derived from the pass phrase and the network name (SSID) of the device. The pass phrase should be at least 20 characters long in order to deter a hacker attempting to crack the pass phrase by recording a series of frames then trying commonly used passwords offline until one works (known as offline PSK dictionary attacks). Packet Internet (or Inter-Network) Groper A program used to verify whether the host associated with an IP address is online. It can also be used to reveal the IP address for a given domain name. A physical access point to a device such as a computer or router, through which data flows into and out of the device. Point-to-Point Protocol A protocol for serial data transmission that is used to carry IP
(and other protocol) data between your ISP and your computer. The WAN interface on the ! uses two forms of PPP called PPPoA and PPPoE. See also PPPoA, PPPoE. Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can define for a Virtual Circuit (VC), the other type being PPPoE. You can define only one PPPoA interface per VC. Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can define for a Virtual Circuit (VC), the other type being PPPoA. You can define one or more PPPoE interfaces per VC. A set of rules governing the transmission of data. In order for a data transmission to work, both ends of the connection have to follow the rules of the protocol. In a physically separate location. For example, an employee away on travel who logs in to the companys intranet is a remote user. Routing Information Protocol The original TCP/IP routing protocol. There are two versions of RIP: version I and version II. Registered Jack Standard-11 The standard plug used to connect telephones, fax machines, modems, etc. to a telephone port. It is a 6-pin connector usually containing four wires. Registered Jack Standard-45 The 8-pin plug used in transmitting data over phone lines. Ethernet cabling usually uses this type of connector. 115

Users Guide Glossary routing SDNS SSID subnet Forwarding data between your network and the Internet on the most efficient route, based on the datas destination IP address and current network conditions. A device that performs routing is called a router. Secondary Domain Name System (server) A DNS server that can be used if the primary DSN server is not available. See DNS. Service Set Identifier (also known as the Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID)) is a unique identifier that differentiates one wireless device from another. Wireless PCs configured with the same SSID can access that device. A subnet is a portion of a network. The subnet is distinguished from the larger network by a subnet mask that selects some of the computers of the network and excludes all others. The subnet's computers remain physically connected to the rest of the parent network, but they are treated as though they were on a separate network. See also network mask. subnet mask A mask that defines a subnet. See also network mask. TCP TCP/IP Telnet TFTP TKIP triggers See TCP/IP. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol The basic protocols used on the Internet. TCP is responsible for dividing data up into packets for delivery and reassembling them at the destination, while IP is responsible for delivering the packets from source to destination. When TCP and IP are bundled with higher-level applications such as HTTP, FTP, Telnet, etc., TCP/IP refers to this whole suite of protocols. An interactive, character-based program used to access a remote computer. While HTTP (the web protocol) and FTP only allow you to download files from a remote computer, Telnet allows you to log into and use a computer from a remote location. Trivial File Transfer Protocol A protocol for file transfers, TFTP is easier to use than File Transfer Protocol (FTP) but not as capable or secure. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) provides WPA with a data encryption function. It ensures that a unique master key is generated for each packet, supports message integrity and sequencing rules and supports re-keying mechanisms. Triggers are used to deal with application protocols that create separate sessions. Some applications, such as NetMeeting, open secondary connections during normal operations, for example, a connection to a server is established using one port, but data transfers are performed on a separate connection. A trigger tells the device to expect these secondary sessions and how to handle them. Once you set a trigger, the embedded IP address of each incoming packet is replaced by the correct host address so that NAT can translate packets to the correct destination. You can specify 116

The ordinary copper telephone wiring long used by telephone companies. It contains one or more wire pairs twisted together to reduce inductance and noise. Each telephone line uses one pair. In homes, it is most often installed with two pairs. For Ethernet LANs, a higher grade called Category 3 (CAT 3) is used for 10BASE-T networks, and an even higher grade called Category 5 (CAT 5) is used for 100BASE-T networks. See also 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, Ethernet. unnumbered interfaces upstream USB VC VCI VPI WAN Web browser An unnumbered interface is an IP interface that does not have a local subnet associated with it. Instead, it uses a router-id that serves as the source and destination address of packets sent to and from the router. Unlike the IP address of a normal interface, the router-id of an unnumbered interface is allowed to be the same as the IP address of another interface. For example, the WAN unnumbered interface of your device uses the same IP address of the LAN interface (192.168.1.1). The unnumbered interface is temporary PPP or DHCP will assign a real IP address automatically. The direction of data transmission from the user to the Internet.

A web site typically consists of web pages that contain text, graphics, and hyperlinks. See also hyperlink, web page. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encrypts data over WLANs. Data is encrypted into blocks of either 64 bits length or 128 bits length. The encrypted data can only be sent and received by users with access to a private network key. Each PC on your wireless network must be manually configured with the same key as your device in order to allow wireless encrypted data transmissions. Eavesdroppers cannot access your network if they do not know your private key. WEP is considered to be a low security option. Wireless is a term used to describe telecommunications in which electromagnetic waves (rather than some form of wire) carry the signal over part or all of the communication path. See also wireless LAN. A wireless LAN (WLAN) is one in which a mobile user can connect to a local area network (LAN) through a wireless (radio) connection. A standard, IEEE 802.11, specifies the technologies for wireless LANs. WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access WPA is an initiative by the IEEE and Wi-Fi Alliance to address the security limitations of WEP. WPA provides a stronger data encryption method (called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)). It runs in a special, easy-to-set-up home mode called Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that allows you to manually enter a pass phrase on all the devices in your wireless network. WPA data encryption is based on a WPA master key. The master key is derived from the pass phrase and the network name (SSID) of the device. It provides improved data encryption and stronger user authentication. The mode of WPA supported no your device is called Pre-Shared Key (PSK), which allows you to manually enter a type of key called a pass phrase. WWW World Wide Web Also called (the) Web.
