Overview of Configuration Pages
Navigation Between Pages
The Web-based Configuration Utility is made up of nine configuration pages, each with
configuration options tied to different functions of the WA840. A "selection bar", listing all of
these configuration pages, appears at the top of each configuration page.
Figure 3-2 Configuration Page Selection Bar
You can access any page by moving the cursor over a specific configuration page title in
the selection bar, and clicking on the page title.
These configuration pages are as follows:
BASIC: This page allows you to configure basic access and control features of your
WA840.
LAN (LOCAL AREA NETWORK): This page allows you to configure your WA840 to
support connections to devices within your local home or small office network.
WAN (WIDE AREA NETWORK): This page allows you to configure your WA840 to
support connections to broadband services.
STATUS: This page displays information about the status of your WA840.
FILTERS: This page allows you to configure two types of filters, allowing you to block
undesired use of your broadband connection. One potential use of these filters is to set
parental controls on the use of the Internet.
ROUTING: This page allows you to configure port forwarding and triggering rules, as
needed to allow specific clients on your local network to run and share certain programs
that use the Internet.
WIRELESS: This page allows you to configure your wireless network.
SECURITY: This page allows you to configure security features to protect information
shared over wireless connections.
FIRMWARE: This page allows you to upgrade the firmware of your WA840.
