    IRTUAL ERVER ETTINGS Virtual Server (sometimes referred to as Port Forwarding) is the act of forwarding traffic from one network node to another based on received protocol port number. This technique can allow an external user to reach a port on a private IP address (inside a LAN) from the outside through a NAT enabled router.

    DMZ is to specified host PC on the local network to access the Internet without any firewall protection. Some Internet applications, such as interactive games or video conferencing, may not function properly behind the firewall. By specifying a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) host, the PC's TCP ports are completely exposed to the Internet, allowing open two-way communication.

  • Page 39: Security

    ECURITY (WEP) IRED QUIVALENT RIVACY WEP provides a basic level of security, preventing unauthorized access to the network, and encrypting data transmitted between wireless clients and an access point. WEP uses static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are manually distributed to all clients that want to use the network. When you select to use WEP, be sure to define at least one static WEP key for user authentication or data encryption.
  • Page 40 update the client keys. ◆WEP Keys — Sets WEP key values. The user must first select ASCII or hexadecimal keys. Each WEP key has an index number. Enter key values that match the key type and length settings. Enter 5 alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for 64-bit keys, or enter 13 alphanumeric characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-bit keys.
  • Page 41 WPA2-compliant hardware. Auto — Uses either TKIP or AES keys for encryption. WPA and ■ WPA2 mixed modes allow both WPA and WPA2 clients to associate to a common SSID. In mixed mode, the unicast encryption type (TKIP or AES) is negotiated for each client.

    network clients wanting to join the network: WPA Algorithms — Selects the data encryption type to use. (Default is determined by the Security Mode selected.) TKIP — Uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) keys for encryption. WPA ◆ specifies TKIP as the data encryption method to replace WEP. TKIP avoids the problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data encryption keys.
  • Page 45 Packet Aggregate — A performance enhancement that combines data packets ◆ together when the feature is supported by compatible clients. (Default: Enabled) WMM — Sets the WMM operational mode on the access point. When enabled, the ◆ QoS capabilities are advertised to WMM-enabled clients in the network. WMM must be supported on any device trying to associated with the access point.

    sends a CTS (clear to send) frame to notify the sending station that it can start sending data. If the RTS threshold is set to 0, the access point always sends RTS signals. If set to 2347, the access point never sends RTS signals. If set to any other value, and the packet size equals or exceeds the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) mechanism will be enabled.
