STATUS

4.3 SYSTEM

4.3.1 Time zone

Select your local time zone from the drop down list. This information is used for log entries and client filtering.

If you want to automatically synchronize the Wireless Router with

a public time server, check the box to Enable Automatic Time Server Maintenance. Select the desired servers from the drop down menu.

Use this page to change the password for accessing the management interface of the Wireless Router.

Passwords can contain from 3-12 alphanumeric characters and are case sensitive.

Note

If you lost the password, or you cannot gain access to the user interface, press the reset button on the rear panel, holding it down for at least five seconds to restore the factory defaults. By default, there is no password to login to the user interface.

! Warning

When you reset the Wireless Router using the reset button, all configuration settings will be lost, also your ISP setting (Internet Service Provider).

Enter a maximum Idle Time Out (in minutes) to define a maximum period of time for which the login session is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the maximum idle time, it will perform system logout, and you have to log in again to access the management interface. (Default : 10 minutes)

4.3.3 Remote management

By default, management access is only available to users on your local network. However, you can also manage the Wireless Router from a remote host by entering the IP address of a remote computer on this screen. Check the Enabled check box, and enter the IP address of the Host Address and click "SAVE SETTINGS".

Note

If you check Enable and specify an IP address of 0.0.0.0, any remote host can manage the Wireless Router.

For remote management via WAN IP address you need to connect using port 8080. Simply enter WAN IP address followed by :8080, for example, 212.120.68.20:8080.

The router can be connected to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) in any of the following ways :

-Dynamic IP Address

-PPPoE

-Static IP address

4.4.1 Dynamic IP Address

This page allows you to obtain an IP address automatically from your Service Provider.

4.4.2 PPPoE

PPPoE is a common connection method used for xDSL.

Your ISP provides a static IP address to access Internet services.

4.4.4 Clone MAC Address

Some ISP???s require you to register your MAC address with them. If you have done this, the MAC address of the router must be changed to the MAC address that you supplied to your ISP.

4.4.5 DNS

Domain Name Servers (DNS) are used to map a domain name (e.g., www.philips.com) with the IP address (e.g., 64.147.25.20). The DNS address is usually configured automatically. If this is not the case, one or more DNS address will be provided to you by your ISP.

However, if there is a DNS server that you would rather use, you need to specify the IP address here.

You can enable DHCP to dynamically allocate IP addresses to your client PCs, or configure filtering functions based on specific clients or protocols. The router must have an IP address for the local network.

4.6 WIRELESS

The router can be quickly configured as a wireless access point for roaming clients by setting the service set identifier (SSID) and channel number. It also supports data encryption and client filtering. Check the box to enable the wireless module function.

4.6.1 Channel and SSID

You must specify a common radio channel and SSID (Service Set ID) to be used by the Wireless Router and all of its wireless clients. Make sure you configure all of its clients to the same values.

4.6.2 Access control

Access Control allows users to define the outgoing traffic permitted or not-permitted through the WAN interface. The default is to permit all outgoing traffic.

4.6.3 Security

The router can transmit your data securely over the wireless network. Matching security mechanisms must be setup on your router and wireless client devices. You can choose the allowed security mechanisms in this page and configure them in the sub-pages.

To manually configure the encryption key, enter five hexadecimal pairs of digits for each 64-bit key, or enter 13 pairs for the single 128-bit key. (A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F).

Note that WEP protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.

WPA

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP) and 802.1x mechanisms. It provides dynamic key encryption and 802.1x authentication service.

802.1X

WEP

If you use WEP to protect your wireless network, you need to set the same parameters for the Wireless Router and all your wireless clients.

You may automatically generate encryption keys or manually enter the keys. To generate the key automatically with passphrase, check the Passphrase box, enter a string of characters. Select the default key from the drop down menu. Click "SAVE SETTINGS".

Note

The passphrase can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

If 802.1x is used in your network, then you should enable this function for the Wireless Router. These parameters are used for the Wireless Router to connect to the authentication server.

4.7 NAT

Network Address Translation allows multiple users to access the Internet sharing one public IP.

Check the box to enable the NAT module function.

Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple internal users. This also hides the internal network for increased privacy and security. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into the Global IP field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the global IP into the "from" field.

4.7.2 Virtual server

If you configure the Wireless Router as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the Wireless Router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).

For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by just entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them.

A list of ports is maintained at the following link :

http://www.iana.org/assignments/ports-numbers

Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video-conferencing, and Internet telephony.

These applications may not work when Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, use these pages to specify the additional public ports to be opened for each application.

4.7.4 NAT Mapping Table

This page displays the current NAPT (Network Address Port Translation) address mappings.

4.8 FIREWALL

The Wireless Router???s firewall inspects packets at the application layer, maintains TCP and UDP session information including time-outs and the number of active sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent certain types of network attacks.

Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and networks with a connection to the Internet. Their goal is not to steal information, but to disable a device or network so users no longer have access to network resources.

The Wireless Router firewall function protects against the following DoS attacks : IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding.

The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network. Select "Enable" and click the "SAVE SETTINGS" button to open the Firewall submenus.

4.8.1 Access Control

Access Control allows users to define the outgoing traffic permitted or not-permitted through the WAN interface. The default is to permit all outgoing traffic.

To add the PC to the filtering table :

1- Click "Add PC" on the Access Control screen

2- Define the appropriate settings for client PC services

3- Click "OK" and then click "SAVE SETTINGS" to save your settings

4.8.2 MAC Filter

The Wireless Router can also limit the network access based on the MAC address. The MAC Filtering Table allows the Wireless Router to enter up to 32 MAC addresses that are allowed to access to the WAN port.

1- Click "Yes" to enable, or "No" to disable this function

2- Enter the MAC address in the space provided and click "Save Settings" to confirm

4.8.3 URL blocking

The Wireless Router allows the user to block access to web sites by entering either a full URL address or just a keyword. This feature can be used to protect children from accessing violent or pornographic web sites.

4.8.4 Schedule rule

You may filter Internet access for local clients based on rules. Each access control rule may be activated at a scheduled time. Define the time schedule on this page, and apply the rule on the Access Control page.

4.8.5 Intrusion detection

Intrusion Detection Feature

Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Anti-DoS firewall protection (Default : Enabled) - The Intrusion Detection Feature of the Wireless Router limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI feature is turned on, all incoming packets will be blocked except for those types marked in the Stateful Packet Inspection section.

RIP Defect (Default : Disabled) - If an RIP request packet is not acknowledged to by the router, it will stay in the input queue and not be released. Accumulated packets could cause the input queue to fill, causing severe problems for all protocols. enabling this feature prevents the packets from accumulating.

Discard Ping to WAN (Default : Disabled) - Prevent a ping on the Wireless Router???s WAN port from being routed to the network.

Scroll down to view more information.

Stateful Packet Inspection

This is called a "Stateful" packet inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to determine the state of the communications ; i.e., it ensures that the stated destination computer has previously requested the current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all communications are initiated by the recipient computer and are taking place only with sources that are known and trusted from previous interactions. In addition to being more rigorous in their inspection of packets, stateful inspection firewalls also close off ports until connection to the specific port is requested.

When particular types of traffic are checked, only the particular type of traffic initiated from the internal LAN will be allowed. For example, if the user only checks "FPT Service" in the Stateful Packet Inspection section, all incoming traffic will be blocked except for FTP connections initiated from the local LAN.

Stateful Packet Inspection allows you to select different application types that are using dynamic port numbers. If you wish to use the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to block packets, click on the Yes radio button in the "Enable SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection" field and then check the inspection type that you need, such as Packet Fragmentation, TCP Connection, UDP Session, FTP Service, H.323 Service, or TFTP Service.

When hackers attempt to enter your network, the router can alert you by e-mail

If the mail server needs to authenticate your indentification before sending out any e-mail, please fill related information in POP3 server, username and password fields. Otherwise leave the three fields blank.

Connection Policy

Enter the appropriate values for TCP/UDP sessions as described in the following table.

Note

The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise enabling the prevention features to protect your network.

4.8.6 DMZ

If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted

two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host on this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.

4.9 UPnP

UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) settings

With Universal Plug and Play, a device can automatically join a network, obtain an IP address, communicate its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices. Devices can then directly communicate with each other. This further enables peer-to-peer networking.

4.10 DDNS

DDNS (Dynamic DNS) settings

DDNS text "Domain Name" is a series of alphanumeric strings separated by periods that maps to the address of a network connection and identifies the owner of the address.

Dynamic DNS provides users on the Internet with a method to tie their domain name to a computer or server. DDNS allows your domain name to follow your IP address automatically by having your DNS records changed when your IP address changes.

The Server Configuration section automatically opens the TCP port options checked in the Virtual Server section. Simply enter in the IP Address of your server, such as a web server, and then click on the port option HTTP Port 80 so users can access your web server from the Internet connection.

This DNS feature is powered by a DDNS service provider. With

a DDNS connection you can host your own web site, email server, FTP site, and more at your own location even if you have a dynamic IP address. (Default : Disable)

Use the Maintenance menu to backup the current configuration, restore a previously saved configuration, restore factory settings, update firmware, and reset the Wireless Router.

4.11.1 Configuration Tools
