Figure 8 Time Settings z Time Zone Select Select the time zone from the dropdown list. z Time Server Select the time server from the “NTP Server” dropdown list or manually input the IP address of available time server into “Manual IP”.
Firewall Settings The firewall is a system or group of systems that enforce an access control policy between two networks. It may also be defined as a mechanism used to protect a trusted network from an un-trusted network. KWG-O6020-I has capabilities of Source IP Filtering, Destination IP Filtering, Source Port Filtering, Destination Port Filtering, Port Forwarding and DMZ. This is available only under Router Mode.
Figure 10 Destination IP Filtering Source Port Filtering: The source port filtering enable you to restrict certain ports of data packets from your local network to Internet through KWG-O6020-I. Use of such filters can be helpful in securing or restricting your local network.
Destination Port Filtering: The destination port filtering enables you to restrict certain ports of data packets from your local network to Internet through KWG-O6020-I. Use of such filters can be helpful in securing or restricting your local network. Figure 12 Destination Port Filtering Port Forwarding: The port forwarding allows you to automatically redirect common network services to a specific machine behind the NAT firewall.
Figure 13 Port Forwarding DMZ: A Demilitarized Zone is used to provide Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized access to its local private network. Typically, the DMZ host contains devices accessible to the Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers and DNS servers.
Basic Wireless Settings Open “Basic Settings” in “Wireless” as below to make basic wireless configuration. Figure 15 Basic Wireless Settings Disable Wireless LAN Interface Check this option to disable WLAN interface, then the wireless module of KWG-O6020-I will stop working and no wireless device can connect to it. Wireless Mode Four operating modes are available on KWG-O6020-I. Wireless Client: The KWG-O6020-I is able to connect to the AP and thus join the wireless network around it.
Broadcast SSID Under AP mode, hiding network name is necessary when you are in a wireless environment that may have potential risk. By disabling broadcast SSID, the STA can not scan and find KWG-O6020-I, so that malicious attack by some illegal STA could be avoided. 802.11 Mode KWG-O6020-I can communicate with wireless devices of 802.11b/g or 802.11b/g/n. You can also select Auto and make it work under an appropriate wireless mode automatically.
Channel Mode Two levels are available: 20MHz and 40MHz. The latter one can enhance the data rate more effectively, but takes more bandwidth, thus cause potential interference. Extension Channel Protection Mode This is to avoid conflict with other wireless network and boost the ability of your device to catch all 802.11g transmissions. However, it may decrease wireless network performance. Compared to CTS-Self; the transmission amount of CTS-RTS is much lower.
Chapter 4 Advanced Settings Advanced Settings Open “Advanced Settings” in “Wireless” to make advanced wireless settings. Figure 17 Advanced Wireless Settings WMM Support WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a subset of 802.11e. It allows wireless communication to define a priority limit on the basis of data type, thus those time-sensitive data, like video/audio data, may own a higher priority than common one. To enable WMM, the wireless client should support it.
KWG-O6020-I sends RTS (Request to Send) frames to certain receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, that STA responds with a CTS (Clear to Send) frame to acknowledge the right to start transmission. The setting range is 0 to 2346 in byte. Fragmentation Length Specify the maximum size in byte for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. Setting it too low may result in poor network performance. Leave it at its default of 2346 is recommended.
Max. Station Num Available only under AP mode, it defines the maximum amount of wireless clients allowed to be connected. Space in Meter To reduce the chances of data retransmission at long distance, the KWG-O6020-I can automatically adjust proper ACK timeout value by specifying distance of the two nodes. The distance to be entered here is calculated in terms of meters, so if the actual distance between two nodes is 5Km, please enter 5000 in the blank.
Network Authentication Open System: It allows any device to join the network without performing any security check. Shared Key: Data encryption and key are required for wireless authentication. Legacy 802.1x: As an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control, it provides the rights to access the wireless network and wired Ethernet. With User and PC identity, centralized authentication as well as dynamic key management, it controls the security risk of wireless network to the lowest.
Access Control The Access Control appoints the authority to wireless client on accessing KWG-O6020-I, thus a further security mechanism is provided. This function is available only under AP mode. Open “Access Control” in “Wireless” as below. Figure 19 Access Control Access Control Mode If you select “Allow Listed”, only those clients whose wireless MAC addresses are in the access control list will be able to connect to your AP.
