  • Page 60: Frequently Asked Questions

    • Does the Router support any operating system other than Windows 95, Windows 98SE, WindowsMillennium, Windows 2000, or Windows XP? Yes, but ALLNET does not, at this time, provide technical support for setup, configuration or troubleshooting of any non-Windows operating systems.
  • Page 61 P anel in your Ethernet adapter’s Advanced Properties tab.) Make sure that your proxy setting is disabled in the browser. Check our website at www.allnet.de for more information. • If all else fails in the installation, what can I do? Reset the Router by holding down the reset button until the Power LED fully turns on and off.
  • Page 62 • How will I be notified of new Router firmware upgrades? All ALLNET firmware upgrades are posted on the ALLNET website at www.allnet.de where they can be downloaded for free. To upgrade the Router’s firmware, use the System tab of the Router’s web-based utility. If the Router’s Internet connection is working well, there is no need to download a newer firmware version, unless that version contains new features that you would like to use.
  • Page 63 • How many ports can be simultaneously forwarded? Theoretically, the Router can establish 520 sessions at the same time, but you can only forward 10 ranges of ports. • What are the advanced features of the Router? The Router’s advanced features include Advanced Wireless settings, Filters, Port Forwarding, Routing, and DDNS.
  • Page 64 • What is ad-hoc mode? When a wireless network is set to ad-hoc mode, the wireless-equipped computers are configured to communicate directly with each other. The ad-hoc wireless network will not communicate with any wired network. • What is infrastructure mode? When a wireless network is set to infrastructure mode, the wireless network is configured to communicate with a wired network through a wireless access point.
  • Page 65 • What is Spread Spectrum? Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the military for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communications systems. It is designed to trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In other words, more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade-off produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the receiver knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast.
  • Page 66 • What is a MAC Address? The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned by the manufacturer to any Ethernet networking device, such as a network adapter, that allows the network to identify it at the hardware level. For all practical purposes, this number is usually permanent. Unlike IP addresses, which can change every time a computer logs onto the network, the MAC address of a device stays the same, making it a valuable identifier for the network.
