Page 78: Safety Information
Safety Information Important Safety Information This appendix contains directions that you must follow for your personal safety. Follow all directions carefully. You must read the following safety information carefully before you install or remove the unit. - Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the unit. The use of an alternative adapter can damage the Router and invalidate the warranty.
Page 79: Ogu 930500118-A1
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on this electric or electronic equipment, or on its packaging, indicates that, at the end of its life, it must not be disposed of as unsorted household waste. Instead it must be separately collected. As a consumer you must, therefore, use the specific collection schemes and, in partic- ular, the municipal collection schemes provided for waste electrical and electronic equipment.
Page 80: Ip Addressing
IP Addressing The Internet Protocol Suite The Internet protocol suite consists of a well-defined set of communications protocols and several standard application protocols. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is probably the most widely known and is a combination of two of the protocols (IP and TCP) working together. TCP/IP is an internationally adopted and supported networking standard that provides connectivity between equipment from many vendors over a wide variety of networking technologies.
Page 81: How Does A Device Obtain An Ip Address And Subnet Mask
In larger networks, where there are more devices, the IP address of ‘192.168.10.8’ is, again, split into two parts but is structured differently: • Part one (‘192.168’) identifies the network on which the device resides. • Part two (‘.10.8’) identifies the device within the network. This type of IP Address operates on a subnet mask of ‘255.255.0.0’.

Page 84: Glossary
Glossary 802.11b The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 11 Mbps. The standard provides for 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps data rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range and environment. 802.11g The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 54 Mbps. The standard provides for 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps data rates.
Page 85: Dns Server Address
DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name (such as pirelli.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.168.10.8). A DNS server keeps a database of host com- puters and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing “pirelli.com”...
Page 86 Encryption A method for providing a level of security to wireless data transmissions. The Router uses two levels of encryp- tion; 40/64 bit and 128 bit. 128 bit is a more powerful level of encryption than 40/64 bit. Ethernet A LAN specification developed jointly by Xerox, Intel and Digital Equipment Corporation. Ethernet networks use CSMA/CD to transmit packets at a rate of 10 Mbps over a variety of cables.
Page 87: Infrastructure Mode
Infrastructure mode Infrastructure mode is the wireless configuration supported by the Router. You will need to ensure all of your cli- ents are set up to use infrastructure mode in order for them to communicate with the Access Point built into your Router.
Page 88 access point, the perspective is reversed, and the hub receives on pins 1 and 2. This wiring is referred to as Media Dependant Interface - Crossover (MDI-X). Network Address Translation. NAT enables all the computers on your network to share one IP address. The NAT capability of the Router allows you to access the Internet from any computer on your home network with- out having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.
Page 89: Subnet Mask
A computer in a network that is shared by multiple end stations. Servers provide end stations with access to shared network services such as computer files and printer queues. SSID Service Set Identifier. Some vendors of wireless products use SSID interchangeably with ESSID. Subnet Address An extension of the IP addressing scheme that allows a site to use a single IP network address for multiple phys- ical networks.
Page 90: Wireless Client
URL Filter A URL Filter is a feature of a firewall that allows it to stop its clients form browsing inappropriate Web sites. Unshielded twisted pair is the cable used by 10BASE-T and 100BASE-Tx Ethernet networks. VCI - Virtual Channel Identifier. The identifier in the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) cell header that identi- fies to which virtual channel the cell belongs.
Page 91 WLAN Wireless Local Area Network. A WLAN is a group of computers and devices connected together by wireless in a relatively small area (such as a house or office). Wi-Fi Protected Access. A dynamically changing encryption mechanism for wireless networking. Encryption strength is 256 bit.
