  • Page 9: Installation Considerations

    3.3 Installation Considerations The TEW-639GR 2.4GHz Wireless N Gigabit Router lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range.

    4. Using the Configuration Menu Whenever you want to configure your TEW-639GR, you can access the Configuration Menu through your PC by opening the Web-browser and typing in the IP Address of the TEW-639GR. The TEW-639GR’s default IP Address is http://192.168.10.1 Open the Web browser.

  • Page 11: Network

    4.1 Network 4.1.1 Network: WAN Setting WAN Connection Type There are several connection types to choose from: Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and Russia PPTP. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your Internet Service Provider. Static Used when your ISP provides you a set IP address that does not change.
  • Page 12 Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual" reconnect modes. L2TP L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP. This method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.
  • Page 13 WAN MTU Setting The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest packet size (in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger packets, the router will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the connection to your ISP.

    4.2.2 Wireless: Advanced Beacon Interval Beacons are packets sent by a wireless router to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds. DTIM A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
  • Page 22 TX Burst Allows the wireless Router to deliver better throughput in the same period and environment in order to increase speed. Pkt_Aggregate Increase efficiency by aggregating multiple packets of application data into a single transmission frame. In this way, 802.11n networks can send multiple data packets with the fixed overhead cost of just a single frame.

    4.2.3 Wireless: Security Security Mode Unless one of these encryption modes is selected, wireless transmissions to and from your wireless network can be easily intercepted and interpreted by unauthorized users. A method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide the same level of privacy as a wired network.
  • Page 24 Cipher Type: The encryption algorithm used to secure the data communication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based encryption. With the "TKIP and AES" option, the router negotiates the cipher type with the client, and uses AES when available.

  • Page 28: Advanced

    Advanced 4.3.1 Advanced: DMZ DMZ Setting DMZ means "Demilitarized Zone." If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that computer. When a LAN host is configured as a DMZ host, it becomes the destination for all incoming packets that do not match some other incoming session or rule.
  • Page 29 Port forwarding is rather like a selective DMZ, where incoming traffic targeted at one or more ports is forwarded to a specific LAN host (thereby not exposing as many ports as a DMZ host). Port triggering is a special form of port forwarding, which is activated by outgoing traffic, and for which ports are only forwarded while the trigger is active.

  • Page 30: Advanced: Virtual Server

    4.3.2 Advanced: Virtual Server Enable Specifies whether the entry will be active or inactive. Name Assign a meaningful name to the virtual server, for example Web Server. Several well-known types of virtual server are available from the "Application Name" drop-down list. Selecting one of these entries fills some of the remaining parameters with standard values for that type of server.
  • Page 31 Private Port The port that will be used on your internal network. Public Port The port that will be accessed from the Internet. Schedule Select a schedule for when the service will be enabled. If you do not see the schedule you need in the list of schedules.

  • Page 32: Advanced: Routing

    4.3.3 Advanced: Routing Add/Edit Route Adds a new route to the IP routing table or edits an existing route. Destination IP The IP address of packets that will take this route. Gateway Specifies the next hop to be taken if this route is used. A gateway of 0.0.0.0 implies there is no next hop, and the IP address matched is directly connected to the router on the interface specified: LAN or WAN.
  • Page 33 Metric The route metric is a value from 1 to 16 that indicates the cost of using this route. A value of 1 is the lowest cost, and 15 is the highest cost. A value of 16 indicates that the route is not reachable from this router.
