Wan Configuration - D-Link DSL-G604T User Manual

Configure Basic Wireless Settings
Follow the instructions below to change basic wireless settings.
1. To disable the wireless interface: click in the Enable AP check box to remove the check
mark and click the Apply button. This will immediately disable the wireless access point, it is
not necessary to restart the access point to make this change.
2. If the wireless interface has been disabled: click the Enable AP check box to place a check
mark in it. Click the Apply button. It is not necessary to restart the access point unless you
have also changed the channel or SSID.
3. The SSID can be changed to suit your wireless network. Remember that any wireless device
using the access point must have the same SSID and use the same channel. The SSID can be a
continuous character string (i.e. no spaces) of up to 16 characters in length. To disable SSID
sharing, use the Advanced Wireless Setup menu (see next chapter). Click the Apply button to
save any change to the SSID.
4. The Channel may be changed to channels that are available in your region. Channels available
for wireless LAN communication are subject to regional and national regulation. Click the
Apply button to save any change to the Channel.
5. The options for Security include None, WEP and WPA.
" If None is selected, wireless transmissions will not be protected.
" WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol or Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption can be
enabled for security and privacy. WEP encrypts the data portion of each frame
transmitted from the wireless adapter using one of the predefined keys. Decryption of
the data contained in each packet can only be done if the both the receiver and
transmitter have the correct key.
" WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) security for wireless communication has been
developed to overcome some of the shortcomings of WEP. WPA combines the key
generation of WEP with the authentication services of a RADIUS (802.1x) server.

WAN Configuration

WAN is short for Wide Area Network. The WAN settings can be referred to as the Public settings. All
IP information in the WAN settings is public IP addresses, which is accessible on the Internet. There
are 8 PVCs pre-configured on this modem and upon initial connection, the appropriate settings should
automatically be set for you. Altering any of these fields should only be done if specified by your ISP,
who should have all the configuration settings necessary for your connection.
