WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another.

■ Enable WEP Wireless Security: Place a check to enable WEP Security.
■ Authentication Type: Select the Authentication Type from the drop down manual. To provide a certain level of security, the IEEE 802.11 standard has defined three types of authentication methods, “Open”, “Shared” and “Both”.

☑ Open: The WL-8064ARM Wireless ADSL2/2+ Router does not perform any Authentication. Open system keys are always authenticated at the device level. After authentication, data is then encrypted between the gateway and the connected device. This is the weakest form of security and should not be used for sensitive data.
☑ Shared: WEP shared key authentication. With “Shared” key authentication, only those PCs that possess the correct authentication key can join the network. Shared keys accept a string of unencrypted data from a device. The gateway encrypts with a WEP key and sends back the encrypted data to the attached device.

■ Encryption Key: Select the level of encryption. The available WEP settings are 64 bits, 128 bits and 256 bits. The higher the bit value on the encryption, the more secure the data transmission.

For 64 bit WEP, enter 10 Hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, A-F).

For 128 bit WEP, enter 26 Hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, A-F).

For 256 bit WEP, enter 58 Hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, A-F).

■ Apply: Click Apply to complete the setting.

Appendix A: Router Terms

What is a firewall?

A firewall is a device that protects one network from another, while allowing communication between the two. A firewall incorporates the functions of the NAT router, while adding features for dealing with a hacker intrusion or attack. Several known types of intrusion or attack can be recognized when they occur. When an incident is detected, the firewall can log details of the attempt, and can optionally send email to an administrator notifying them of the incident. Using information from the log, the administrator can take action with the ISP of the hacker. In some types of intrusions, the firewall can fend off the hacker by discarding all further packets from the hacker's IP address for a period of time.

What is NAT?

NAT stands for Network Address Translation. Another name for it is Connection Sharing. What does this mean? Your ISP provides you with a single network address for you to access the Internet through. However, you may have several machines on your local network that want to access the Internet at the same time. The router provides NAT functionality that converts your local network addresses to the single network address provided by your ISP. It keeps track of all these connections and makes sure that the correct information gets to the correct local machine.

Occasionally, there are certain programs that don't work well through NAT. Some games, and some specialty applications have a bit of trouble. The router contains special functionality to handle the vast majority of these troublesome programs and games. NAT does cause problems when you want to run a SERVER though. When running a server, please see the DMZ section below.

What is a DMZ?

DMZ really stands for Demilitarized Zone. It is a way of separating out part of your local network so that is more open to the Internet. Suppose that you want to run a web-server, or a game server. Normal servers like these are blocked from working by the NAT functionality. The solution is to "isolate" the single local computer into a DMZ. This makes the single computer look like it is directly on the Internet, and others can access this machine.

Your machine isn't really directly connected to the Internet, and it really has an internal local network address. When you provide the servers network address to others, you must provide the address of the router. The router "fakes" the connection to your machine.

You should use the DMZ when you want to run a server that others will access from the Internet. Internal programs and servers (like print servers, etc) should NOT be connected to the DMZ

What is a Gateway?

The Internet is so large that a single network cannot handle all of the traffic and still deliver a reasonable level of service. To overcome this limitation, the network is broken down into smaller segments or subnets that can deliver good performance for the stations attached to that segment. This segmentation solves the problem of supporting a large number of stations, but introduces the problem of getting traffic from one subnet to another.

To accomplish this, devices called routers or gateways are placed between segments. If a machine wishes to contact another device on the same segment, it transmits to that station directly using a simple discovery technique. If the target station does not exist on the same segment as the source station, then the source actually has no idea how to get to the target.

One of the configuration parameters transmitted to each network device is its default gateway. This address is configured by the network administrators and it informs each personal computer or other network device where to send data if the target station does not reside on the same subnet as the source. If your machine can reach all stations on the same subnet (usually a building or a sector within a building), but cannot communicate outside of this area, it is usually because of an incorrectly configured default gateway.

1. What is infrastructure mode?

Ans. When a wireless network is set to infrastructure mode, the wireless network is configured to communicate with a network through a wireless access point.

1. What is roaming?

Ans. Roaming is the ability of a portable computer user to communicate continuously while moving freely throughout an area greater than that covered by a single access point. Before using the roaming function, the computer must make sure that it is the same channel number with the access point of dedicated coverage area.

7. What is ISM band?

Ans. The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for unlicensed use in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in particular, is being made available worldwide. This presents a truly revolutionary opportunity to place convenient high-speed wireless capabilities in the hands of users around the globe.

8. What is MAC Address?

Ans. Short for Media Access Control Address. It is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a Ethernet networking device. This address is usually permanent.

9. What is IEEE 802.11b standard?

Ans. IEEE 802.11b is an extension standards to 802.11 that applies to Wireless LAN and provides 11Mbps transmission speed in the 2.4 GHz band.

Ans. IEEE 802.11g is an extension standards to 802.11 that applies to Wireless LAN and provides 54Mbps transmission speed in the 2.4 GHz band.

11. What is NAT (Network Address Translation) and what is it used for?

Ans. NAT translates multiple IP Address on the private LAN to one public IP Address (in WAN) that is sent out to the Internet. NAT adds a level security since the IP address of a PC connected to the private LAN is never transmitted on the Internet.

12. What can I do when I am not able to get the web configuration screen for this WL-8064ARM Wireless ADSL2/2+ Router?

Ans. Remove the proxy settings on your Internet Browsers or remove the dial-up settings on your browser.

13. What is DMZ (DeMilitarized zone)?

Ans. DMZ allows one IP Address (computer) to be exposed to the Internet. Some applications require multiple TCP/IP ports to be open. It is recommended that you set your computer with a static IP if you want to use DMZ features.

14. What is BSS ID?

Ans. A specific Ad-Hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must be configured with the same BSS ID.

15. What is SSID?

Ans. Short for Service Set Identifier. SSID is a 32 character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all Access Point and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID.

The IEEE 802.1x draft standard offers an effective framework for authenticating and controlling user traffic to a protected network, as well as dynamically varying encryption keys.

AP: Access Point: A station that transmits and receives data in a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network). An access point acts as a bridge for wireless devices into a LAN.

ATM: Asynchronous Transfer Mode: A method of transfer in which data is organized into 53-byte cell units. ATM cells are processed asynchronously in relation to other cells.

BC: Broadcast: Communication in which a sender transmits to everyone in the network.

BER: Bit Error Rate: Percentage of Bits that contain errors relative to the total number of bits transmitted.

Bridge: A device that connects two networks and decides which network the data should go to.

Bridge Mode: Bridge Mode is used when there is one PC connected to the LAN-side Ethernet or USB port. IEEE 802.1D method of transport bridging is used to bridge between the WAN (ADSL) side and the LAN (Ethernet or USB) side, i.e., to store and forward.

CBR: Constant Bit Rate: A constant transfer rate that is ideal for streaming (executing while still downloading) data, such as audio or video files.

Cell: A unit of transmission in ATM, consisting of a fixed-size frame containing a 5-octet header and a 48-octet payload.

CHAP: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol: Typically more secure than PAP, CHAP uses username and password in combination with a randomly generated challenge string which has to be authenticated using a one-way hashing function.

CLP: Cell Loss Priority: ATM cells have two levels of priority, CLP0 and CLP1. CLP0 is of higher priority, and in times of high traffic congestion, CLP1 error cells may be discarded to preserve the Cell Loss Ratio of the CLP0 cells.

CO: Central Office: In a local loop, a Central Office is where home and office phone lines come together and go through switching equipment to connect them to other Central Offices. The distance from the Central Office determines whether or not an ADSL signal can be supported in a given line.

CPE: Customer Premises Equipment. This specifies equipment on the customer, or LAN, side.

CRC: Cyclic Redundancy Checking: A method for checking errors in a data transmission between two computers. CRC applies a polynomial function (16 or 32-bit) to a block of data. The result of that polynomial is appended to the data transmission. Upon receipt, the destination computer applies the same polynomial to the block of data. If the host and destination computer share the same result, the transmission was successful. Otherwise, the sender is notified to re-send the data block.

DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: A communications protocol that allows network administrators to manage and assign IP addresses to computers within the network. DHCP provides a unique address to a computer in the network which enables it to connect to the Internet through Internet Protocol (IP). DHCP can lease and IP address or provide a permanent static address to those computers who need it (servers, etc.).

DMZ: Demilitarized Zone: A computer Host or network that acts as a neutral zone between a private network and a public network. A DMZ prevents users outside of the private network from getting direct access to a server or any computer within the private network. The outside user sends requests to the DMZ, and the DMZ initiates sessions in the public network based on these requests. A DMZ cannot initiate a session in the private network, it can only forward packets to the private network as they are requested.

DNS: Domain Name System: A method to locate and translate Domain Names into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, where a Domain Name is a simple and meaningful name for an Internet address.

DSL: Digital Subscriber Line: A technology that provides broadband connections over standard phone lines.

DSLAM: Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer: Using multiplexing techniques, a DSLAM receives signals from customer DSL lines and places the signals on a high-speed backbone line. DSLAMs are typically located at a telephone company's CO (Central Office).

Encapsulation: The inclusion of one data structure within another. For example, packets can be encapsulated in an ATM frame during transfer.

FEC: Forward Error Correction: An error correction technique in which a data packet is processed through an algorithm that adds extra error correcting bits to the packet. If the transmitted message is received in error, these bits are used to correct the error bits without retransmission.

Firewall: A firewall is a method of implementing common as well as user defined security policies in an effort to keep intruders out. Firewalls work by analyzing and filtering out IP packets that violate a set of rules defined by the firewall administrator. The firewall is located at the point of entry for the network. All data inbound and outbound must pass through the firewall for inspection.

Fragmentation: Breaking a packet up into smaller packets that is caused either by the transmission medium being unable to support the original size of the packet or the receiving computer not being able to receive a packet of that size. Fragmentation occurs when the sender's MTU is larger than the receiver's MRU.

FTP: File Transfer Protocol. A standardized internet protocol which is the simplest way to transfer files from one computer to another over the internet. FTP uses the Internet's TCP/IP protocols to function.

Full Duplex: Data transmission can be transmitted and received on the same signal medium and at the same time. Full Duplex lines are bidirectional.

G.dmt: Formally G.992.1, G.dmt is a form of ADSL that uses Discrete MultiTone (DMT) technology. G.dmt incorporates a splitter in its design.

G.lite: Formally G.992.2, G.lite is a standard way to install ADSL service. G.lite enables connections speeds up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 128 kbps upstream. G.lite does not need a splitter at the user end because splitting is preformed at the remote end (telephone company).

Gateway: A point on the network which is an entrance to another network. For example, a router is a gateway that connects a LAN to a WAN.

Half Duplex: Data transmission can be transmitted and received on the same signal medium, but not simultaneously. Half Duplex lines are bidirectional.

HEC: Headed Error Control: ATM error checking by using a CRC algorithm on the fifth octet in the ATM cell header to generate a check character. Using HEC, either a single bit error in the header can be corrected or multiple bit errors in the header can be detected.

HNP: Home Network Processor

Host: In context of Internet Protocol, a host computer is one that has full two way access to other computers on the Internet.

IAD: Integrated Access Device: A device that multiplexes and demultiplexes communications in the CPE onto and out of a single telephone line for transmission to the CO.

IP: Internet Protocol: The method by which information is sent from one computer to another through the Internet. Each of these host computers have a unique IP address which distinguishes it from all the other computers on the internet. Each packet of data sent includes the sender's IP address and the receiver's IP address.

LAN: Local Area Network: A group of computers, typically covering a small geographic area, that share devices such as printers, hard disk drives, scanners, and optical drives. Computers in a LAN typically share an internet connection through some sort of router that connects the computers to a WAN.

LLC: Logical Link Control: Provides an interface point to the MAC sublayer. LLC Encapsulation is needed when several protocols are carried over the same Virtual Circuit.

MAC Address: Media Access Control Address: A unique hardware number on a computer or device that identifies it and relates it to the IP address of that device.

MC: Multicast: Communication involving a single sender and multiple specific receivers in a network.

MRU: Maximum Receive Unit: MRU: Maximum Receive Unit (MRU) is the largest size packet that can be received by the modem. During the PPP negotiation, the peer of the PPP connection will indicate its MRU and will accept any value up to that size. The actual MTU of the PPP connection will be set to the smaller of the two (MTU and the peer's MRU). In the normal negotiation, the peer will accept this MRU and will not send packet with information field larger than this value.

MSS: Maximum Segment Size: The largest size of data that TCP will send in a single, unfragmented IP packet. When a connection is established between a LAN client and a host in the WAN side, the LAN client and the WAN host will indicate their Maximum Segment Size during the TCP connection handshake.

MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit: The largest size packet that can be sent by the modem. If the network stack of any packet is larger than the MTU value, then the packet will be fragmented before the transmission. During the PPP negotiation, the peer of the PPP connection will indicate its MRU and will accept any value up to that size. The actual MTU of the PPP connection will be set to the smaller of the two (MTU and the peer's MRU).

NAPT: Network Address and Port Translation: An extension of NAT, NAPT maps many private internal addresses into one IP address. The outside network (WAN) can see this one IP address but it cannot see the individual device IP addresses translated by the NAPT.

NAT: Network Address Translation: The translation of an IP address of one network to a different IP address known by another network. This gives an outside (WAN) network the ability to distinguish a device on the inside (LAN) network, as the inside network has a private set of IP address assigned by the DHCP server not known to the outside network.

PAP: Password Authentication Protocol: An authentication protocol in which authorization is done through a user name and password.

PDU: Protocol Data Unit: A frame of data transmitted through the data link layer 2.

Ping: Packet Internet Groper: A utility used to determine whether a particular device is online or connected to a network by sending test packets and waiting for a response.

PPP: Point-to-Point Protocol: A method of transporting and encapsulating IP packets between the user PC and the ISP. PPP is full duplex protocol that is transmitted through a serial interface.

Proxy: A device that closes a straight connection from an outside network (WAN) to an inside network (LAN). All transmissions must go through the proxy to get into or out of the LAN. This makes the internal addresses of the devices in the LAN private.

PVC: Permanent Virtual Circuit: A software defined logical connection in a network; A Virtual Circuit that is permanently available to the user.

RIP: Routing Information Protocol: A management protocol that ensures that all hosts in a particular network share the same information about routing paths. In a RIP, a host computer will send its entire routing table to another host computer every X seconds, where X is the supply interval. The receiving host computer will in turn repeat the same process by sending the same information to another host computer. The process is repeated until all host computers in a given network share the same routing knowledge.

RIPv1: RIP Version 1: One of the first dynamic routing protocols introduced used in the internet, RIPv1 was developed to distribute network reach ability information for what is now considered simple topologies.

RIPv2: RIP Version 2: Shares the same basic concepts and algorithms as RIPv1 with added features such as subnet masks, authentication, external route tags, next hop addresses, and multicasting in addition to broadcasting.

Router Mode: Router Mode is used when there is more than one PC connected to the LAN-side Ethernet and/or USB port. This enables the ADSL WAN access to be shared with multiple nodes on the LAN. Network Address Translation (NAT) is supported so that one WAN-side IP address can be shared among multiple LAN-side devices. DHCP is used to serve each LAN-side device and IP address.

SNAP: SubNetwork Attachment Point.

SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol: Used to govern network management and monitor devices on the network. SNMP is formally described in RFC 1157.

SNR: Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Measured in decibels, SNR is a calculated ratio of signal strength to background noise. The higher this ratio, the better the signal quality.

Subnet Mask: Short for SubNetwork Mask, subnet mask is a technique used by the IP protocol to filter messages into a particular network segment, called a subnet. The subnet mask consists of a binary pattern that is stored in the client computer, server, or router. This pattern is compared with the incoming IP address to determine whether to accept or reject the packet.

TCP: Transfer Control Protocol: Works together with Internet Protocol for sending data between computers over the Internet. TCP keeps track of the packets, making sure that they are routed efficiently.

TFTP: Trivial File Transfer Protocol: A simple version of FTP protocol that has no password authentication or directory structure capability.

Trellis Code: An advanced method of FEC (Forward Error Correction). When enabled, it makes for better error checking at the cost of slower packet transmission. Setting Trellis Code to Disabled will cause increased packet transmission with decreased error correction.

TTL: Time To Live: A value in an IP packet that indicates whether or not the packet has been propagating through the network too long and should be discarded.

UBR: Unspecified Bit Rate: A transfer mode that is usually used in file transfers, email, etc. UBR can vary depending on the data type.

USB: Universal Serial Bus: A standard interface between a computer and a peripheral (printer, external drives, digital cameras, scanners, network interface devices, modems, etc.) that allows a transfer rate of 12Mbps.

UDP: User Datagram Protocol: A protocol that is used instead of TCP when reliable delivery is not required. Unlike TCP, UDP does not require an acknowledgement (handshake) from the receiving end. UDP sends packets in one-way transmissions.

VBR-nrt: Variable Bit Rate – non real time: With VBR-nrt, cell transfer is variable upon certain criteria.

VC: Virtual Circuit: A virtual circuit is a circuit in a network that appears to be a physically discrete path, but is actually a managed collection of circuit resources that allocates specific circuits as needed to satisfy traffic requirements.

VCI: Virtual Channel Identifier: A virtual channel identified by a unique numerical tag that is defined by a 16-bit field in the ATM cell header. The purpose of the virtual channel is to identify where the cell should travel.

VC-Mux: Virtual Circuit based Multiplexing: In VC Based Multiplexing, the interconnect protocol of the carried network is identified implicitly by the VC (Virtual Circuit) connecting the two ATM stations (each protocol must be carried over a separate VC).

VPI: Virtual Path Identifier: Virtual path for cell routing indicated by an eight bit field in the ATM cell header.

WAN: Wide Area Network: A WAN covers a large geographical area. A WAN is consisted of LANs and the Internet is consisted of WANs.

WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a specification of standards-based, interoperable security enhancements that increase the level of data protection and access control for existing and future wireless LAN systems.
