Configuring the Wireless ADSL Modem Routerr

12

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.

If the signal strength of a single wireless base station is not sufficient due 
to a large coverage area or attenuation due to walls, with WDS the 
range of a wireless base station can be extended.

All base stations in a Wireless Distribution System must be configured 
with the same radio channel, and encryption type (WEP/WPA) if that is 
used.

The WDS feature is not completely specified in IEEE or Wifi standards. 
Therefore it cannot be guaranteed that WDS will work with products 
of different vendors.

If you use WEP to protect your wireless network, you need to set the 
same parameters for the ADSL Wireless Base Station 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".

The passphrase can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

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.

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.

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