Introduction
Overview
The Wireless Routing Center features a wireless Access Point, a four-port LAN
switch and a WAN port, which extend your existing broadband Cable/ADSL
connection. It allows the broadband connection to be shared through either the
IEEE 802.11b Access Point feature or the 10/100Base-TX Ethernet switch,
which also eliminates the need for an additional hub or switch.
The integrated DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to your LAN
devices, and with the built-in Network Address Translation (NAT) function, your
LAN is protected against outside intruders. The router can also be configured to
filter internal access to the Internet. It is designed to provide a reliable Internet
access solution for the corporate environment, the small office and the home user.

WAN Configuration for NAT Routing Mode
Click WAN in the configuration menu to enter the WAN Configuration page and carry
out the procedures below.
Part 1. Configuring general settings
1. In the WAN/LAN Relation field, select the NAT Routing option.
This option allows the Wireless Routing Center to act as a router and use the
built-in NAT function to translate your multiple private IP addresses to a
single public IP address. However, only outgoing requests are allowed to pass
through the Wireless Routing Center unless you specify otherwise. Outside
users cannot see your private local IP addresses. This protects your home or
business network from outside intruders.
2. In the Protocol field, select a protocol type according to the connection
type offered by your ISP.
4-9
User's Manual
3. If required, in the MAC Address field, enter your network adapters MAC
address in the format of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. Otherwise keep the default values.
This field allows you to copy a network adapters MAC address to the WAN
port of the Wireless Routing Center. Some ISPs use the MAC address of the
NIC, which was connected to the Cable/ADSL modem, for static mapping.
This would give you the same IP address each time the Cable/ADSL modem
requests an IP address for the Ethernet port. If this is the case, this feature
removes the need of asking your ISP to change the registered MAC address.
You can still use the same IP you were given for the routers WAN port.
4. In the Host Name field, you can supply a host name for the Wireless
Routing Center if this is required by your ISP. Some ISPs only respond to a
DHCP request with a valid Host Name. If a host name is not necessary for
your ISP, leave it blank.

Configuration for NAT Routing Mode
u PPPoE Client
If PPPoE Client is your option, configure these fields as required by your ISP.
PPPoE Connection Status: This item is not configured. It displays whether the
connection is up or down.
Username/Password: Enter the user name and password provided by your ISP for
logging onto the Internet.
Authentication Mode: Usually, you should select Auto. When Auto is selected,
the Wireless Routing Center automatically determines whether the mode is PAP or
CHAP and makes the connection. If a connection cannot be made with the Auto
setting, check with your ISP and set either PAP or CHAP.
Connection Mode: Select Keep Alive or Connect on Demand.
Keep Alive: This feature will keep your PPPoE-enabled Internet connection
always open. This is done by sending echo requests periodically to the ISP to
prevent the connection from being terminated by the ISP.
Connect on Demand: If enabled, the router will trigger a PPP session for
connection to the Internet if any client computer on your LAN sends a request
for Internet access. However, the router automatically disconnects the PPP
session after the WAN connection has been idle for the amount of time specified
in the Max Idle Time box. If your Internet account is billed based on the
amount of time of your Internet connection, you can reduce charges by enabling
this option. Enter an idle time value best suited for your network.
CONFIGURATION
MTU/MRU: Allows you to adjust the Maximum Transmission/Receive Unit in
bytes for the WAN interface. You may need to adjust the values to a smaller size if
WEB
the servers of your ISP do not support full-size frame packets. Packets larger than
the specified values will be fragmented, which could hurt performance.
Its better not to modify the MTU/MRU settings unless your ISP advises you to.

IP Address/Subnet Mask: Enter the fixed IP address and subnet mask given by
your ISP. The default values are 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0.
Default Gateway: The IP address of the default gateway of the router is the IP that
the Wireless Routing Center first contacts to communicate with the Internet. The
default is 0.0.0.0.
DNS Servers: Specifies the IP address of the Domain Name Server. Your LAN
side DHCP clients use the DNS to map a domain name to its corresponding IP
address and vice versa. Up to three DNS servers are allowed.
WINS Servers: Optional for Windows Internet Names Service. Enter the IP
addresses of WINS servers if required.
Domain Name: Optional. Allows you to supply a host and domain name for the
Wireless Routing Center.

CONFIGURATION
The Wireless Routing Center communicates with a LAN through a LAN port. The
WEB
LAN configuration page lets you define the private IP address and DHCP server
settings over the LAN interface.
1. In the Manual Config > IP Address/Subnet Mask field, enter
the IP address and subnet mask for the LAN port.
The default LAN port IP address is 192.168.10.1 and the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0. Note that if you change the private IP address and apply the
changes, the computer from which you configure the router will lose commu-
nication to the router. To reconnect, you will need to renew the IP address of
the computer or change to an IP address compatible with the new LAN port IP
address.
2. In the DHCP Server > Service field, select whether to enable DHCP
service on the LAN port.

Do not broadcast SSID: An AP will periodically broadcast its SSID to allow the
wireless clients to recognize its presence. However, this creates a security hole since
any wireless station with SSID set to any may associate with your AP. Enabling
this option is recommended in order to have your AP accept only stations whose
SSID is the same as its own.
Beacon Interval: Defines the periodic intervals at which the 802.11 Wireless LAN
Access Point sends a beacon.
RTS Threshold: Request to send threshold. It specifies the packet size beyond
which the AP invokes its RTS/CTS mechanism. Packets that exceed the specified
RTS threshold trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism.
Fragmentation Threshold: It determines whether packets will be fragmented and
at what size. On an 802.11 wireless LAN, packets that exceed the fragmentation
threshold are fragmented into smaller units suitable for the circuit size. On the other
hand, packets smaller than the wireless stations should be used to connect to your
Access Point.
Basic Rate: Specifies the basic rate the wireless stations should use to connect to
your Access Point.

WEP
WEP Mode: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an authentication algorithm that
encrypts your data and protects your Wireless LAN against eavesdropping.
WEP is disabled by default. If you want to protect your data when it is transferred
from one station to another, you should enable this security option. For security
concerns, we strongly recommend that you enable the WEP function.
To enable WEP, select 64 bits or 128 bits as the encryption algorithm. The higher
the number of bits, the greater the complexity and the security of the encryption.

Aside from entering your WEP keys, you should select one of the four keys to
encrypt the data before being transmitted. The AP always transmits data encrypted
using this WEP key. The key number (1,2,3,4) is also transmitted. The receiving
station will use the key number to determine which key to use for decryption. If the
key value does not match with the transmitting station, the decryption will fail. To
ensure successful decryption, have your wireless stations set identical key tables.

Filters
When your Wireless Routing Center operates as a router, the built-in NAT function
provides your LAN with Internet access via the single public IP of the WAN port.
That means all network devices are allowed to access the Internet. Therefore,
network security becomes an important issue and system administrators may need
to build access controls to protect the network.
Filters serve as a basic security measure for your network. When the filter function
is enabled, the Wireless Routing Center inspects all data packets received from the
LAN and determines if packets are allowed to pass through the WAN port. Whether
a packet is allowed to pass through, depends on whether it matches your filter rules

and whether your filter type is Listed Pass or Listed Block.

Specifying IP Filter Rules
NOTE: If you make a mistake in Filter Rules, you might not be able to
access the Internet.
If you are going to specify your filter rules, follow the procedures below:
1. In the General > Filter Type field, select the action (Listed Block
or Listed Pass) to be performed on the IP packets matching your filter rules.
2. In the four filter types, select whether to enable or disable each filter.

Filter Types
When setting up filter rules, you can define the Filter rules based on the LAN
computers MAC address, IP address or the protocol type of the data packet. Each
filter type is described below.
NOTE: Based on the OSI reference model, MAC Filters have higher
priority than IP Filters while IP Filters have higher priority than Port
Filters.
MAC Filters: Specifies the MAC address of the LAN computer from which
packets are allowed (or prohibited) to pass through the WAN port. Up to 12 entries
are allowed.
IP Filters: Specifies the range of IP addresses of the LAN computers from which
packets are allowed (or prohibited) to pass through the WAN port. You may enter
the same address in both (IP Start and IP End) fields to define a single IP address.
Up to 5 entries are allowed.
TCP Port Filters: Allows (or prohibits) LAN computers in the specified IP range
to use TCP based service in the specified port range through the WAN port. You
may enter the same address in both (IP Start and IP End) fields to define a single IP
address. Up to 12 entries are allowed.
For example, to allow (or prohibit) a local computer 192.168.10.210 to use FTP
service (using TCP port 20 and 21):

UDP Port Filters: Allows (or prohibits) LAN computers in the specified IP range
to use UDP based service in the specified port range through the WAN port. You
may enter the same address in both (IP Start and IP End) fields to define a single IP
address. Up to 12 entries are allowed.

Forwarding
This page allows you to configure the Forwarding and DMZ (De-Militarized Zone)
features. Unlike Filter which governs outgoing traffic, Forwarding is used to
provide external access to your local computers. This is commonly used when you
have publicly accessible virtual servers on your local network.
By default, forwarding entry is empty and any external access to your LAN is
blocked. Once you define a forwarding entry, incoming packets (identified by port
number) that match your Forwarding criteria will be forwarded to the port range of
the specified local computer. Otherwise packets are blocked. Forwarding protects
your network from hazardous packets.

Forwarding
TCP Port Forwards: In the first Start and End fields, define the port range for
the incoming TCP service you want to forward. In the IP Address field, enter
the IP address of the virtual server to which packets are forwarded. The Start/
End fields on the right side define the port range for the TCP service on the virtual
server.
For example, the setting below allows access on virtual server 192.168.10.210
using FTP service.
UDP Port Forwards: The configuration is the same as setting TCP Port Forwards,
only that the entry applies to UDP service.
When the router gets outside TCP/UDP requests destined for the WAN port, it
determines whether the services are allowed according to your forwarding settings.
For example, if you do not specify FTP virtual service in the Forwarding table,
incoming FTP requests (identified by port number in packets) are blocked or
otherwise sent to the DMZ host (if specified). On the other hand, if an FTP forward-
ing entry has been set up, the FTP requests will be forwarded to the specified
computer.
NOTE: If you set multiple forwarding entries, they will be used in order
from the first entry. In the example below, incoming FTP requests will be
