5.2.2.6. RIP RIP is an Internet protocol you can set up to share routing table information with other routing devices on your LAN, at your ISPs location, or on remote networks connected to your network via the ADSL line. Most small home or office networks do not need to use RIP; they have only one router, such as the ADSL Router, and one path to an ISP. In these cases, there is no need to share routes, because all Internet data from the network is sent to the same ISP gateway. You may want to configure RIP if any of the following circumstances apply to your network: z Your home network setup includes an additional router or RIP-enabled PC (other than the ADSL Router). The ADSL Router and the router will need to communicate via RIP to share their routing tables. z Your network connects via the ADSL line to a remote network, such as a corporate network. In order for your LAN to learn the routes used within your corporate network, they should both be configured with RIP. z Your ISP requests that you run RIP for communication with devices on their network.

Parameter Authentication Type

Description There are three authentication types: "Open System", "Shared Key" and "Auto". Open System: Open System authentication is not required to be successful while a client may decline to authenticate with any particular other client. Shared Key: Shared Key is only available if the WEP option is implemented. Shared Key authentication supports authentication of clients as either a member of those who know a shared secret key or a member of those who do not. IEEE 802.11 Shared Key authentication accomplishes this without the need to transmit the secret key in clear. Requiring the use of the WEP privacy mechanism. Auto: Auto is the default authentication algorithm. It will 52

change its authentication type automatically to fulfill clients requirement. Fragmentation Threshold Fragment Threshold specifies the maximum size of packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in bad performance. Enter a value from 256 to 2346. This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The wireless router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The interval of time that this wireless router broadcast a beacon. Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network. The range for the beacon period is between 20 and 1024 with a default value of 100 (milliseconds). The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You should select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the wireless router automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the router and a wireless client. The default setting is Auto. The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for communication between the router and wireless stations. Make sure to select the appropriate preamble type. Note that high network traffic areas should use the Short Preamble.

CRC is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors. Broadcast SSID If this option is enabled, the router will automatically transmit the network name (SSID) into open air at regular interval. This feature is intended to allow clients to dynamically discover the router. If this option is disabled, the router will hide its SSID. When this is done, the clients cannot directly discover the router and MUST be configure with the SSID for accessing to the router. It is used to protect your network from being accessed easily. When you enable this function, wireless clients will not be able to directly access other wireless clients. This is also called CTS Protection. It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11g/802.11n wireless stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to many of frame traffic should be transmitted. This function is used to join multiple data packets for transmission as a single unit to increase network efficiency. The 802.11n draft specifies two guard intervals: 400ns (short) and 800ns (long). Support of the 400ns GI is optional for transmit and receive. Enable this function will increase network efficiency.

TKIP utilized a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. WPA2(AES) WPA2, also known as 802.11i, uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption. AES utilized a symmetric 128-bit block data encryption. WPA Mixed The router supports WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES) for data encryption. The actual selection of the encryption methods will depend on the clients. Use 802.1x Authentication IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this wireless router before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. Check this box to authenticates user by IEEE 802.1x. WEP is less level of security than WPA. WEP supports 64-bit and 128-bit key lengths to encrypt the wireless data. The longer key length will provide higher security. When WEP-64Bits is selected, you have to enter exactly 5 ASCII characters (a-z and 0-9) or 10 hexadecimal digits ("0-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4). When WEP-128Bits is selected, you have to enter exactly 13 ASCII characters (a-z and 0-9) or 26 hexadecimal digits ("0-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4). There are two types of authentication mode for WPA. Enterprise (RADIUS) It uses an external RADIUS server to perform user authentication. To use RADIUS, enter the IP address of the RADIUS server, the RADIUS port (default is 1812) and the shared secret from the RADIUS server.

NAT (Network address translations)

NAT (Network address translations) solve the problem if sharing a single IP address to multiple computers. Without NAT, all computers must be assigned with a valid Internet IP address to get connected to Internet, but Internet service providers only provide very few IP addresses to every user. Therefore its necessary to use NAT technology to share a single Internet IP address to multiple computers on local network, so everyone can get connected to Internet. Please follow the following instructions to set NAT parameters:

10Base-T It is an Ethernet standard for Local Area Network (LAN). 10Base-T uses a twisted pair cable with maximum length of 100 meters. AAL ATM Adaptation Layer that defines the rules governing segmentation and reassembly of data into cells. Different AAL types are suited to different traffic classes. ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, as its name showing, is an asymmetrical data transmission technology with high traffic rate downstream and low traffic rate upstream. ADSL technology satisfies the bandwidth requirement of applications, which demand asymmetric traffic, such as web surfing, file download and Video-on-demand (VOD). ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a layer 2 protocol supporting high-speed asynchronous data with advanced traffic management and quality of service features. bps Bits per second, a standard measurement of digital transmission speeds. Bridge A device that connects two or more physical networks and forwards packets between them. Bridges can usually be made to filter packets, that is, to forward only certain traffic. Related devices are: repeaters which simply forward electrical signals from one cable to the other and full-fledged routers which make routing decisions based on several criteria.

CPE Customer Premises Equipment, such as ADSL router, USB modem.

Default Gateway (Router) Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateways IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination. DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, this protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address. DNS Server IP Address DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www. ADSLrouter.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing " ADSLrouter.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to you. DSL Digital Line Subscriber (DSL) technology provides high-speed access over twisted copper pair for connection to the Internet, LAN interfaces, and to DSL services such as video-on-demand, distance learning, and video conferencing. Ethernet It is a standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and hubs or switches, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second (Mbps).

FTP File Transfer Protocol. The Internet protocol (and program) used to transfer files between hosts. Idle Timeout

99

Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to the Internet for a pre-configured amount of time, the connection will automatically be disconnected. ISP Internet Service Provider is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations. ISP Gateway Address The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. LAN Local Area Network is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN. MAC Address MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the products serial number. MTU Maximum Transmission Unit NAT Network Address Translator is defined by RFC 1631. Enable a LAN network to use one set of IP address for internal traffic. A NAT box located where the LAN meets the Internet provides the necessary IP address translation. This helps provide a sort of firewall and allow for a wider address range to be used internally without danger of conflict. Using the routers NAT capability, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.

PPP PPP is the Point-to-Point-Protocol. The successor to SLIP, PPP provides router-to-router and host-to-network connections over both synchronous and asynchronous circuits. PPPoA (RFC 2364) The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol data grams over point-to-point links. This document describes the use of ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) for framing PPP encapsulated packets.

PPPoE (RFC 2516) This document describes how to build PPP sessions and encapsulate PPP packets over Ethernet. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) provides the ability to connect a network of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote Access Concentrator.

Protocol A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple parties so that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of their behavior is well defined and can be made objectively, without confusion or misunderstanding. PVC Permanent Virtual Circuit, connection-oriented permanent leased line circuit between end-stations on a network over a separate ATM circuit. RFC Request for Comments. The document series, begun in 1969, which describes the Internet suite of protocols and related experiments. Not all RFCs describe Internet standards, but all Internet standards are written up as RFCs. RFC 1483 Multi-protocol encapsulation over AAL-5. Two encapsulation methods for carrying network interconnect traffic over ATM AAL-5. The first method allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit. The protocol of a carried PDU is identified by prefixing the PDU by an IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) header. This method is in the following called "LLC Encapsulation". The second method does higher-layer protocol multiplexing implicitly by ATM Virtual Circuits (VCs). It is in the following called "VC Based Multiplexing". Router A system responsible for making decisions about which of several paths network (or Internet) traffic will follow. To do this, it uses a routing protocol to gain information about the network and algorithms to choose the best route based on several criteria known as "routing metrics. Subnet Mask A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).

102

TCP/IP, UDP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer protocol. TELNET It is the virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols. Allows users of one host to log into a remote host and act as normal terminal users of that host. VCI Virtual Circuit Identifier is part of the ATM cell header. A VCI is a tag indicating the channel over which a cell will travel. The VCI of a cell can be changed as it moves between switches via Signaling. VPI Virtual Path Identifier is part of the ATM cell header. A VPI is a pipe for a number of Virtual Circuits. WAN Wide Area Network is a network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.
