4. Enter the AP SSID then click Next. 5. Enter the passphrase then click Next.
6. When you have come to this step, you will have comleted the Wi-Fi network setup using the built-in WCN feature in Windows Vista.
DHCP Server DHCP allows networked devices to obtain information on the parameter of IP, Netmask, Gateway as well as DNS through the Ethernet Address of the device. To configure the router’s DHCP Server, select DHCP Server from the DHCP Server Mode dropdown menu.
WAN - Wide Area Network A WAN (Wide Area Network) is a computer network that covers a broad geographical area (eg. Internet) that is used to connect LAN and other types of network systems. WAN Profile - Main Port: VDSL Obtain an IP Address Automatically (VDSL) When connecting to the ISP, your router also functions as a DHCP client. By configuring DHCP settings, the device is able to obtain IP settings automatically from the ISP. Protocol: Select the protocol you will use in the device.
Fixed IP Address (VDSL) A Static WAN connection will be configured according to the IP properties defined by your ISP. Protocol: Select the protocol you will use in the device. NAT: The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the Internet through a single IP account by sharing the single IP address. If users on your LAN have their own public IP addresses to access the Internet, NAT function can be disabled. IP Address: Enter your fixed IP address.
PPPoE (VDSL) PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) provides access control in a manner which is similar to dial-up services using PPP. Protocol: Select the protocol you will use in the device. Username: Enter the username provided by your ISP. You can input up to 256 alphanumeric characters (case sensitive). This is in the format of “username@ispname” instead of simply “username”. Password: Enter the password provided by your ISP. You can input up to 32 alphanumeric characters (case sensitive).
MAC Spoofing: This option is required by some service Providers. You must fill the MAC address specified by your service provider when this information is required. It will temporarily change your router’s MAC address to the one you have specified in this field. The default setting is set to disable. Click Apply to confirm the settings.
Pure Bridge (VDSL) Protocol: Select the protocol you will use in the device. Click Apply to confirm the change.
WAN Profile - Main Port: EWAN Besides using VDSL to get connected to the Internet, the VDSL router offers its Ethernet port 4 as a WAN port to be used to connect to Cable Modems and fibre optic lines. This alternative, yet faster method to connect to the internet will provide users with more flexibility to get online. Obtain an IP Address Automatically (EWAN) When connecting to the ISP, your router also functions as a DHCP client.
Fixed IP Address (EWAN) A Static WAN connection will be configured according to the IP properties defined by your ISP. Line Speed: Set the downstream and upstream of your connection in kilobytes per second. The connection speed is used by QoS settings. Protocol: Select the protocol you will use in the device. NAT: The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the Internet through a single IP account by sharing the single IP address.
PPPoE (EWAN) PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) provides access control in a manner which is similar to dial-up services using PPP. Line Speed: Set the downstream and upstream of your connection in kilobytes per second. The connection speed is used by QoS settings. Protocol: Select the protocol you will use in the device. Username: Enter the username provided by your ISP. You can input up to 256 alphanumeric characters (case sensitive). This is in the format of “username@ispname” instead of simply “username”.
Idle Timeout: Auto-disconnect the broadband firewall gateway when there is no activity on the line for a predetermined period of time. MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram (excluding media-specific headers) that IP will attempt to send through the interface. MAC Spoofing: This option is required by some service Providers. You must fill the MAC address specified by your service provider when this information is required.
System There are the items within the System section: Time Zone, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart, User Management and Mail alert. Time Zone The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the most current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone from the drop down menu. To apply the selected local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button.
Firmware Upgrade Your router’s firmware is the software that enables it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software that runs in your router. Thus, by upgrading the newly improved version of the firmware allows you the advantage to use newly integrated features. Factory Default Settings: If select this setting, the device will reboot to restore the parameters of all its applications to its default values.
Backup / Restore These functions allow you to save a backup of the current configuration of your router to a defined location on your PC, or to restore a previously saved configuration. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup in hand in case any mistakes occur. It is advisable that you backup your router configuration before making any changes to your router configuration.
Restart There are 2 options for you to choose from before restarting the your 8200N device. You can either choose to restart your device to restore it to the Factory Default Settings or to restart the device with your current settings applied. Restarting your device to Factory Default Setting will be useful especially after you have accidentally changed your settings that may result in undesirable outcome.
User Management In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router configuration interface, it requires all users to login with a username and password. Therefore only system administrator can access the system. This feature allows you to set up multiple user accounts which contains a unique password of its own. In addition, you can also edit any existing user accounts or add new users to allow access to the device configuration interface.
Add an account 1. Check the Valid checkbox, fill in all the information: User name, Comment (optional), Password, Confirm Password. 2. When it is done, click the Add button. Delete a User Account 1. Check the Delete checkbox of the account you want to delete. 2. Then click the Edit/Delete to confirm the deletion. Note: You can delete any user account except for the default admin account. Thus there is no delete radio button available for this account.
Mail Alert Mail Alert allows administrator to receive notifications from the router through email about important events that is occurring in real time. This allows administrator to be able to take immediate actions to counteract any possible hacking or to restore the router to its original status should any failover / failback ever occurs. Server Information SMTP Server: Enter the SMTP (mail) server address. Username: Enter the username of your SMTP server.
Firewall Firewall and Access Control Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet. See the WAN configuration section for more details on NAT.
Packet Filter Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specific internal / external users (IP address) from Internet access, or disable specific service requests (Port number) to / from the Internet. This configuration program allows you to set up different filter rules for different users based on their IP addresses or their network Port number.
Add: Click this button to add a new packet filter rule and the added rule will appear at the bottom table. Edit: Check Edit next to the item you wish to edit, and then change parameters as desired. Complete it by press “Edit/Delete”. Delete: Check Edit next to the item you wish to delete, and press “Edit/Delete” to remove this rule. Order: Be aware that packet filtering parameters appear in priority order i.e. the first one takes precedence over all other rules.
MAC Filter A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure the network to block specific machines from accessing your LAN. There are no pre-defined MAC address filter rules, you can add the filter rules to meet your requirements. The format of MAC address could be: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.
Intrusion Detection The router Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker’s attack and intrusion attempts from the Internet. If the IDS function of the firewall is enabled, inbound packets are filtered and blocked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks, intrusion attempts or other connections that the router determines to be suspicious. Intrusion Detection: Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your computer without permission.
Table: Hacker attack types recognized by the IDS Type of Block Drop Packet Show Log Duration Intrusion Name Detect Parameter Blacklist Ascend Kill Ascend Kill data Src IP DoS Yes Yes WinNuke TCP Port 135, 137~139, Flag: URG Src IP DoS Yes Yes Smurf ICMP type 8 Des IP is broadcast Dst IP Victim Protection Yes Yes Land attack SrcIP = DstIP Yes Yes Echo/CharGen Scan UDP Echo Port and CharGen Port Yes Yes Echo Scan UDP Dst Port = Echo(7) Src IP Scan Yes Yes CharGen Scan UDP
Src IP: Source IP Src Port: Source Port Dst Port: Destination Port Dst IP: Destination IP 94
Block WAN Ping This feature is to be enabled when you want the public WAN IP address on your router not to respond to any ping command. This feature is disabled by default. To activate the Block WAN PING feature, check the Enable box then click the Apply button.
URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator) (e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http:// www.example.com) filter rule allows you to prevent users on your network from accessing specific websites defined by their URL. There are no predefined URL filter rules, therefore you can add filter rules to meet your requirements. Keywords Filtering: Allow blocking against specific keywords within a particular URL rather than having to specify a complete URL (e.g.
4. Please be note that the completed URL, “www” + domain name shall be specified. For example to block traffic to www.google.com.au, enter “www.google” or “www.google.com”. Restrict URL Features: This function enhances the restriction to your URL rules. Block Java Applet: Blocks Web content which includes the Java Applet to prevent someone who wants to damage your system via the standard HTTP protocol. Block ActiveX: Blocks ActiveX. Block Cookies: Blocks Cookies. Block Proxy: Blocks Proxy.
