Enabling Networks and DHCP
Note that the wired Ethernet port cannot be disabled. Dynamic Host Control Protocol
(DHCP) tells the DuraStation to get IP addresses from DHCP servers if available.
For DuraStations with a top-mounted antenna, either "Enable WiFi" or "Enable cellular"
will be possible. If WiFi or Cellular connectivity is desired for the GE back-end connection,
be sure that "Network Interface to GE CONNECT" is set to eth1 (WiFi) or ppp0 (cellular).
•
Static IP settings, subnet masks and gateway IPs
These settings are used if DCHP functionality is disabled ... if DHCP is enabled they are the
fallback settings used if a DHCP server does not reply.
•
Primary and Alternate DNS
These are defaulted to the popular Google DNS servers, but can be changed as desired.
•
Routing Table settings
This is advance functionality for network specialists. These settings are used to add or
delete entries to the routing table as follows:
o
o
o
o
o
Tables for either the wired or wireless port can be built by entering the host and gateway
IP addresses and subnet mask, and by selecting Add and the appropriate port. The
routing tables can be viewed by going to the Home screen and then clicking on Network
TS (Trouble-Shooting).
•
WiFi Network Name
In order to use WiFi you must not only enable it but you must enter a WiFi network name,
also known as SSID. Alpha/numeric characters are ok, but no spaces are allowed in the
SSID name.
•
WiFi Security, WEP keys, WPA(2)-PSK passphrase
These common WiFi security options are supported:

Routing Network/Host IP address. Traffic to this IP address is routed via the Routing Gateway.
Routing Netmask. Subnet to use for the Network/Host.
Routing Gateway. Routing Gateway to be used for the Network/Host.
Routing Table choices: No Action, Add, Delete
Routing Interface choices: eth0, eth1 for wired or wireless table entry, respectively
None. This is open, unsecured WiFi. It is available for ease of installation and debugging but it
is not recommended that you operate the station over open and unsecured WiFi.
WEP 64-bit. This setting requires entry of a 10 digit hexadecimal key. Hexadecimal digits are
0–9 and A–F.
WEP 128-bit. This setting requires entry of a 26 digit hexadecimal key.
WPA-PSK (TKIP). This setting is more secure than WPA and uses TKIP encryption. It requires
entry of an 8 to 63 character passphrase.
WPA2-PSK (AES). This setting is the most secure and uses AES encryption. It also requires
entry of an 8 to 63 character passphrase. Some routers set to WPA2 encryption do not
respond fast enough for DHCP clients to avoid taking an IP address from the autoIP range. If
this happens, try reserving an IP address in your router if it supports this feature, or use static
addressing, or use another encryption mode.
