First, let us take a look at the Interface Setup. There are three items contained in this section, namely, Internet, LAN, and Wireless. Each is described in the following scenario.
5.4.1 Interface Setup 5.4.1.
ATM PVC ATM settings are used to connect to your ADSL service. Your ISP provides VPI, VCI settings to you (VPI, VCI pair is used to set a PVC). In this Device, you can totally setup 8 PVCs on different encapsulations, if you apply 8 different virtual circuits from your ISP. You need to activate the PVC to take effect. For PVCs management, you can use ATM QoS to setup each PVC traffic line's priority.
Static IP Address: Select this option to set static IP information. You will need to enter in the Connection type, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address, provided to you by your ISP. Each IP address entered in the fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which is four IP octets separated by a dot (xx.xx.xx.xx). The Router will not accept the IP address if it is not in this format. PPPoE/PPPoA: Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE/PPPoA connection.
Both means the router will periodically send routing information and accept routing information then incorporate into routing table. IN only means the router will only accept but will not send RIP packet. OUT only means the router will only send but will not accept RIP packet. TCP MTU Option: Maximum Transmission Unit, the maximum is 1500. IGMP Proxy: IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group.
EWAN (7600NXL) 53

IP Options Default Route: Select Yes to use this interface as default route interface.
When router’s Internet configuration is finished successfully, you can go to status to get the connection information.
5.4.1.2 LAN A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached and is limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building. IPv6 The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID. There are two ways to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts. One is statefull configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.
IPv4 Parameters IP Address: Enter the IP address of Router in dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.254 (factory default). IP Subnet Mask: The default is 255.255.255.0. User can change it to other such as 255.255.255.128. Alias IP Address: This is for local networks virtual IP interface. Specify an IP address on this virtual interface. Alias IP Subnet Mask: Specify a subnet mask on this virtual interface.
IP Address: Enter the specific IP. For example: 192.168.1.110. MAC Address: Enter the responding MAC. For example: 00:0A:F7:45:6D:ED When added, you can see the ones listed as showed below: IPv6 parameters Interface Address / Prefix Length: enter the static LAN IPv6 address, we suggest leave the field empty because when setted wrong, it will result in LAN devices not being able to access other IPv6 device through internet. Router will take the same WAN’s prefix to LAN side if the field is empty.
5.4.1.3 Wireless This section introduces the wireless LAN and some basic configurations. Wireless LANs can be as complex as a number of computers with wireless LAN cards communicating through access points which bridge network traffic to the wired LAN. (By default, 4 SSIDs are in use. But to simplify the illustration, we only enable 1 SSID.
Access Point Settings Access Point: Default setting is set to Activated. If you want to close the wireless interface, select Deactivated. Channel ID: The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless devices is called a channel. There are Regulation Domains and Channel ID in this field. The Channel ID will be different based on Regulation Domains. Select a channel from the drop-down list box. Beacon interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon.
WPS Settings WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature is a standard protocol created by Wi-Fi Alliance. This feature greatly simplifies the steps needed to create a Wi-Fi networks for a residential or an office setting. WPS supports 2 types of configuration methods which are commonly known among consumers: PIN Method & PBC Method. WPS State: Display whether the WPS is configured or unconfigured. WPS Mode: Select the mode which to start WPS, choose between PIN Code and PBC (Push Button).
3. Launch the wireless client’s WPS utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Enrollee, press the WPS button on the top bar, select the AP (eg. Billion_AP) from the WPS AP List column. Then press the PIN button located on the middle left of the page to run the scan.
4. The client’s SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the registrar (router).
PIN Method: Configure AP as Enrollee 1. Jot down the WPS PIN (eg. 03454435).Press Start WPS.
2. Launch the wireless client’s WPS utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Registrar. Enter the PIN number in the PIN Code column then choose the correct AP (eg. Billion_AP) from the WPS AP List before pressing the PIN button to run the scan.
3. The router’s (AP’s) SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the registrar (client). 4. Now to make sure that the setup is correctly done, cross check to see if the SSID and the security setting of the registrar setting match with the parameters found on both Wireless Configuration and Wireless Security Configuration page.
PBC Method: 1. Press the PBC radio button, Then Start WPS. 2. Launch the wireless client’s WPS Utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Enrollee. Then press the WPS button and choose the correct AP (eg. Billion_AP) from the WPS AP List section before pressing the PBC button to run the scan.
3. When the PBC button is pushed, a wireless communication will be established between your router and the PC. The client’s SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the router.
Security Settings Authentication Type: You can disable or enable wireless security for protecting wireless network. The default type of wireless security is OPEN and to allow all wireless stations to communicate with the access points without any data encryption. To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the router offers secure data encryption, known as WEP and WPA.
WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK Encryption: TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or AES (Advanced Encryption System) utilizes a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. Pre-Shared key: The key for network authentication. The input format should be 8-63 ASKII characters or 64 hexadecimal characters Key Renewal Interval: The time interval for changing the security key automatically between wireless client and AP.
Wireless MAC Address Filter The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the router to give exclusive access to up to 8 devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 8 devices from accessing the router (Deny Association). Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:AA:BB:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC address of the devices to configure this screen.
5.5 Dual WAN Dual WAN is specially designed to offer users failover/fallback or Load Balance feature. Auto failover/failback is to ensure an always-on internet connection. Users can set a WAN1 (main WAN) and WAN 2 (backup WAN), and when WAN1 fails, it will switch to WAN2, and when WAN1 restores, it will switch to WAN1 again. Load balance provides optimal bandwidth sharing for multiple PCs on your network, or allows maximum reliability with network redundancy.
probe will be conducted every 30 seconds. Note: 1) The time set is for each probe cycle, but the decision to change to the backup port is determined by Probe Cycle multiplied by connection Decision amount (e.g. From the image above it will be 30 seconds multiplied by 3 consecutive fails, the router will determine failover to WAN2 (backup port)). 2).The failback setting follow the same decision policy as the failover.
