5.16 Interface Grouping Interface Grouping supports multiple ports to PVC and bridging groups. Each group performs as an independent network. To use this feature, you must create mapping groups with appropriate LAN and WAN interfaces using the Add button. The Remove button removes mapping groups, returning the ungrouped interfaces to the Default group. Only the default group has an IP interface. To add an Interface Group, click the Add button. The following screen will appear.
Automatically Add Clients With Following DHCP Vendor IDs: Add support to automatically map LAN interfaces to PVC's using DHCP vendor ID (option 60). The local DHCP server will decline and send the requests to a remote DHCP server by mapping the appropriate LAN interface. This will be turned on when Interface Grouping is enabled. For example, imagine there are 4 PVCs (0/33, 0/36, 0/37, 0/38). VPI/VCI=0/33 is for PPPoE while the other PVCs are for IP set-top box (video).
If a set-top box is connected to ENET1 and sends a DHCP request with vendor ID "Video", the local DHCP server will forward this request to the remote DHCP server. The Interface Grouping configuration will automatically change to the following: 1. Default: ENET2, ENET3, and ENET4. 2. Video: nas_0_36, nas_0_37, nas_0_38, and ENET1. 5.17 IP Sec You can add, edit or remove IPSec tunnel mode connections from this page. Click Add New Connection to add a new IPSec termination rule.
IPSec Connection Name User-defined label Remote IPSec Gateway Address The location of the Remote IPSec Gateway. IP address or domain name can be used. Specify the acceptable host IP on the local side. Choose Single or Subnet. If you chose Single, please enter the host IP address for VPN. If you chose Subnet, please enter the subnet information for VPN. Specify the acceptable host IP on the remote side. Choose Single or Subnet. If you chose Single, please enter the host IP address for VPN.

Chapter 6 Wireless The Wireless menu provides access to the wireless options discussed below. 6.1 Basic The Basic option allows you to configure basic features of the wireless LAN interface. Among other things, you can enable or disable the wireless LAN interface, hide the network from active scans, set the wireless network name (also known as SSID) and restrict the channel set based on country requirements. Click Save/Apply to apply the selected wireless options.
Option Description Disable WMM Advertise Stops the router from ‘advertising’ its Wireless Multimedia (WMM) functionality, which provides basic quality of service for time-sensitive applications (e.g. VoIP, Video). Enable Wireless Multicast Forwarding Select the checkbox þ to enable this function. SSID Sets the wireless network name. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. All stations must be configured with the correct SSID to access the WLAN.
6.2 Security The following screen appears when Wireless Security is selected. The options shown here allow you to configure security features of the wireless LAN interface. Click Save/Apply to implement new configuration settings. WIRELESS SECURITY Wireless security settings can be configured according to Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or Manual Setup. The WPS method configures security settings automatically (see 6.2.
The settings for WPA authentication are shown below. The settings for WPA-PSK authentication are shown next. 75 PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.
WEP Encryption This option specifies whether data sent over the network is encrypted. The same network key is used for data encryption and network authentication. Four network keys can be defined although only one can be used at any one time. Use the Current Network Key list box to select the appropriate network key. Security options include authentication and encryption services based on the wired equivalent privacy (WEP) algorithm. WEP is a set of security services used to protect 802.
Step 2: Set the WSC AP Mode. Configured is used when the NEXUSLINK 3111u will assign security settings to clients. Unconfigured is used when an external client assigns security settings to the NEXUSLINK 3111u. NOTES: Your client may or may not have the ability to provide security settings to the NEXUSLINK 3111u. If it does not, then you must set the WSC AP mode to Configured. Consult the device documentation to check its capabilities.
Step 5: IIIa. Click the Save/Apply button at the bottom of the screen. PUSH-BUTTON CONFIGURATION The WPS push-button configuration provides a semi-automated configuration method. The WPS button on the rear panel of the router can be used for this purpose or the Web User Interface (WUI) can be used exclusively. The WPS push-button configuration is described in the procedure below.
IIIb. WPS – PIN CONFIGURATION Using this method, security settings are configured with a personal identification number (PIN). The PIN can be found on the device itself or within the software. The PIN may be generated randomly in the latter case. To obtain a PIN number for your client, check the device documentation for specific instructions. The WPS PIN configuration is described in the procedure below.
The example below shows that the connection established successfully. You can also double-click the Wireless Network Connection icon from the Network Connections window (or the system tray) to confirm the status of the new connection. 80 PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.
