1.3 Interface Descriptions Before you start to configure your device, it is very important that the proper cables with the correct pin arrangement are used when connecting the Residential Gateway to other devices such as switch, hub, workstation, etc. The following describes correct cables for each interface type.
and connect the other end of the patch cable (RJ-45) to the Ethernet port on other computers or Ethernet devices to form a small area network. The LAN LED for that port on the front panel will light up. Connect the Fiber cable provided from your service provider to the WAN Fiber port on the back panel, the WAN LED will light up and blinking if data are transmitting.
2. WEB MANAGEMENT This chapter describes how to manage the Residential Gateway through a Web browser. The IP address concepts and gaining access to the Residential Gateway will be introduced first, and then followed by web-based management instructions. 2.1 The Concept of IP address IP addresses have the format n.n.n.n, for example 168.168.8.100.
Page 12
1. IP address 2. Subnet Mask 3. Default gateway IP address, if required Run a Web browser and specify the Residential Gateway’s IP address to reach it. (The default IP of Residential Gateway is “192.168.0.1” before any changes.) Login to the Residential Gateway to reach the Main Menu. Once you gain the access, a Login window appears like the following: Enter the authorized user name and password then click “Login”.
Both 802.11n & 802.11b/g models have same software functions except that 802.11n models provide users to use 802.11n wireless mode that can achieve higher speed rate. In this user’s manual, we will use screenshots from 802.11n model consistently to explain software functions.

Page 26
1. WEP Encryption: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is based on IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC 4 encryption algorithm to encrypt data over the wireless network so as to protect your data from unauthorized accesses or intruders. When connecting to a WEP network, the user has to know a key that can be either 64-bit or 128 bit with ASCII characters or hexadecimal characters.
WPA Cipher Suite: Select either “TKIP” or “AES” (AES is a stronger encryption method than TKIP). WPA Pre-Shared Key: Enter the pre-shared key value which can be between 8 and 63 characters long or 64 HEX characters long. Symbols and spaces can also be used. 3.
list. Delete from list: Select a MAC address from the access control list and press “Delete from list” to remove it from the list. 2.5.5 Static Route The Residential Gateway uses IP or Host name to communicate with management computers, for example using HTTP, telnet, SSH, or SNMP. Using IP static routes allows the Residential Gateway to respond to remote management stations that are not reachable through the default gateway, for example when sending SNMP traps or using ping packets to test IP connectivity.
2.5.6 NAT Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a different IP address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet).
Virtual Server Mapping Virtual Server is used to set up public services on your network. When users from the Internet make certain requests on your network, the Residential Gateway can forward those requests to computers to handle the requests. For example, when you set the port number 80 (HTTP) to be forwarded to IP Address 192.168.1.2, all HTTP requests from outside users will be forwarded to 192.168.1.2.
2.5.7 Packet Filter This Residential Gateway supports WAN, LAN port and MAC address filtering that allow users to create and enforce WAN and LAN port access policies tailored to your needs. Select Packet Filter from the Network Management menu, then Packet Filter screen page appears.

2.5.8 URL Filter This feature allows users to create a list of websites or client IP address that you want to either allow or deny users’ access. Select URL Filter from the Network Management menu, then URL Filter screen page appears.
2.5.9 UPnP Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. An UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network.
2.5.10 DDNS The WLAN Gateway supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service). The Dynamic DNS service allows a dynamic public IP address to be associated with a static host name in any domains, allowing access to a specified host from various locations on the Internet. This is enabled to allow remote access to a host by clicking a hyperlinked URL in the form “hostname.dyndns.org”.
2.5.11 SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol used to manage and monitor TCP/IP-based devices. SNMP is used to exchange management information between the network management system (NMS) and a network element (NE). A manager station can manage and monitor the WLAN Residential Gateway through the network via SNMP version one (SNMPv1), SNMP version 2c.

3. SNMP NETWORK MANAGEMENT The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. It is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. SNMP consists of the following key components: Managed device is a network node that contains SNMP agent.
APPENDIX A: Set Up DHCP Auto-Provisioning Networking devices, such as switches or gateways, with DHCP Auto-provisioning function allow you to automatically upgrade firmware and configuration at startup process. Before setting up DHCP Server for auto-upgrade of firmware and configuration, please make sure the Residential Gateway that you purchased supports DHCP Auto-provisioning.
Page 85
Step 2. Prepare “dhcpd.conf” file You can find this file in Linux ISC DHCP server. /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf Step 3. Copy the marked text to “dhcpd.conf” A sample of dhcp text is provided in Appendix B. Please copy the marked area to “dhcpd.conf”...
Page 86
Step 4. Modify “dhcpd.conf” file Modify the marked area with your own settings. This value is configurable and can be defined by users. Specify the protocol used (Protocol 1: FTP; Protocol 0: TFTP). Specify the FTP or TFTP IP address. Login FTP server anonymously.
Page 87
Step 5. Generate a Configuration File Before preparing the configuration image in TFTP/FTP Server, please make sure the device generating the configuration image is set to “Get IP address from DHCP” assignment. This is because that DHCP Auto-provisioning is running under DHCP mode, so if the configuration image is uploaded by the network type other than DHCP mode, the downloaded configuration image has no chance to be equal to DHCP when provisioning, and it results in MD5 never match and causes the device to reboot endlessly.
Page 88
B. Auto-Provisioning Process This Residential Gateway is setting-free (through auto-upgrade and configuration) and its upgrade procedures are as follows: The ISC DHCP server will recognize the device whenever it sends an IP address request to it. And ISC DHCP server will tell the device how to get a new firmware or configuration.
