To configure this function, you need to enable the wireless function, define the radio channel, the domain identifier, and the security options. Check Enable and click "SAVE SETTINGS". Channel and SSID: You must specify a common radio channel and SSID (Service Set ID) to be used by the ADSL Wireless Base Station and all of its wireless clients. Make sure you configure all of its clients to the same values. Configuring the Wireless ADSL Modem Routerr Access Control: Access Control allows users to define the outgoing traffic permitted or not-permitted through the WAN interface. The default is to permit all outgoing traffic. WDS: If the signal strength of a single wireless base station is not sufficient due to a large coverage area or attenuation due to walls, with WDS the range of a wireless base station can be extended. All base stations in a Wireless Distribution System must be configured with the same radio channel, and encryption type (WEP/WPA) if that is used. Note The WDS feature is not completely specified in IEEE or Wifi standards. Therefore it cannot be guaranteed that WDS will work with products of different vendors. WEP: If you use WEP to protect your wireless network, you need to set the same parameters for the ADSL Wireless Base Station and all your wireless clients. You may automatically generate encryption keys or manually enter the keys. To generate the key automatically with passphrase, check the Passphrase box, enter a string of characters. Select the default key from the drop down menu. Click "SAVE SETTINGS". Note The passphrase can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. To manually configure the encryption key, enter five hexadecimal pairs of digits for each 64-bit key, or enter 13 pairs for the single 128-bit key. (A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F). Note that WEP protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet. WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP) and 802.1x mechanisms. It provides dynamic key encryption and 802.1x authentication service. 802.1x: If 802.1x is used in your network, then you should enable this function for the ADSL Wireless Base Station. These parameters are used for the ADSL Wireless Base Station to connect to the authentication server. Configuring the Wireless ADSL Modem Routerr 4.6 Advanced settings webpages 4.6.1 NAT Network Address Translation allows multiple users to access the Internet sharing one public IP. Address Mapping: Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal users. This also hides the internal network for increased privacy and security. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into the Global IP field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the global IP into the "from" field. Virtual Server: For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by just entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them. A list of ports is maintained at the following link: Special Applications Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video-conferencing, and Internet telephony. These applications may not work when Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, use these pages to specify the additional public ports to be opened for each application. NAT Mapping Table: This page displays the current NAPT (Network Address Port Translation) address mappings. If you configure the ADSL Wireless Base Station as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the ADSL Wireless Base Station redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address). Configuring the Wireless ADSL Modem Routerr If you perform a reset from this page, the configuration will not be 4.6.2 Maintenance changed back to the factory default settings. Use the Maintenance menu to backup the current configuration, restore a previously saved configuration, restore factory settings, update Note firmware, and reset the ADSL Wireless Base Station. If you use the Reset button on the rear panel, the ADSL Wireless Base Station performs a power reset. Press the button for over five seconds, Configuration Tools: and the factory default settings will be restored. Choose a function and click Next>>.
