User Manual / MBR1200B
Greenfield Mode: Greenfield mode uses an 802.11n-only preamble to transmit packets which older wireless
clients cannot interpret. Use of greenfield mode in a mixed 802.11 environment may result in degraded
performance but can improve performance if all devices in the area are 802.11n compatible.
RADIUS Timeout: (Default: 3600 seconds) When using an Enterprise security mode clients will be forced to re-
authenticate with the RADIUS server at this interval in seconds. This allows administrators to revoke access so
when an attached client's authentication expires, the client must re-authenticate.
RADIUS Retry: (Default: 60 seconds) When using an Enterprise security mode, if a RADIUS query fails to
receive a response from the server it will delay by this interval (in seconds) before attempting another query.
This helps protect the network from floods of authentication requests if the RADIUS server is temporarily
unreachable.
ETHERNET PORTS
Ethernet Port Configuration provides controls for your router's Ethernet ports. There are five total ports:
by default, one WAN port and four numbered LAN ports. While default settings will be sufficient in most
circumstances, you have the ability to control: Mode (WAN or LAN) and Link Speed. Additional controls for WAN
ports are available in CONNECTION MANAGER.
Mode: WAN or LAN. By default there are four LAN (Local Area Network) ports and one WAN (Wide Area
Network) port.
• Internet (WAN) is used as a possible source of Internet for the router
• Local Network (LAN) is for connecting a computer or similar device directly to the router with an Ethernet
cable.
Link Speed: Default setting is Auto. The Auto setting is preferred in most cases.
• Auto
• 10Mbps - Half Duplex
• 10Mbps - Full Duplex
• 100Mbps - Half Duplex
• 100Mbps - Full Duplex
DHCP SERVER
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol. The built-in DHCP server
automatically assigns IP addresses to the
computers and other devices on each local
area network (LAN). In this section you can
view a list of assigned IP addresses and
reserve IP addresses for particular devices.
Active Leases: A list of devices that have
been provided DHCP leases. The DHCP server
automatically assigns these leases. This list
will not include any devices that have static
IP addresses on the network. Select a device
and click Reserve to add the device and its IP
address to the list of Reservations.
Reservations: This is a list of devices with reserved IP addresses. This reservation is almost the same as
when a device has a static IP address except that the device must still request an IP address from the router.
