    4.2.3 Wireless security mode WPA PSK/WPA2 PSK Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) or Mixed mode (TKIP+AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be broken by hackers.

  • Page 43: Idbm

    iDBM iDBM SETUP Intelligent Bandwidth Management (iDBM) provides two powerful and unique mechanisms to manage bandwidth: Static Bandwidth Management (SBM) and Dynamic Bandwidth Management (DBM). SBM provides users with the option to allocate a fixed amount of bandwidth for a specific computer or a particular application, while DBM intellectually manages the rest of the bandwidth while all the time satisfying the complicated bandwidth requirements/settings of SBM.
  • Page 44 Bandwidth Settings: Please adjust your bandwidth type according to your bandwidth (download/upload) subscribed from your ISP. Due to the unstable nature of network bandwidth supported by ISP, users are recommended to reserve a portion of bandwidth for buffering usage, and iDBM would then arrange the reserved bandwidth under heavy traffic.
  • Page 45 Add SBM Rules Click on [Add] tab. You will see the following screen. Configure [Add SBM] Settings following the instructions below.

Rule Name VoIP Rule Enable Check the box to enable this rule Internal IP Address Enter the IP address of the VoIP machine Protocol...
  • Page 47 Advanced Setting Example 2 In the case users need to guarantee a PC or a network device for a specified bandwidth and allow the user to user rest bandwidth up to some values, one may follow the settings as below. In this case, the PC with IP address-192.168.1.1 will be guaranteed for 100Kbps/20Kbps bandwidth.
  • Page 48 Set up the internal IP range for this DBM rule. DBMSetting Example The maximum DBM IPs is 16 in the VRT-402N. The user may set the DHCP releasing range from 192.168.2.30 to 192.168.1.45 and set those IP as DBM IP accordingly. In this manner, all user access through this router will be controlled by DBM system without any other complicated settings.

    Furthermore, users can specify an internal port range associated in a port range forwarding rule. When VRT-402N receives an external request to access any one of the configured external ports, it will redirect the request to the corresponding internal server and change its destination port to one of the internal ports specified.
