4.1 Device Summary The main menu has several options, and selecting each of these options opens a submenu with more selections. Subsequent sections will introduce the other main menu options in sequence. The Device Summary screen will display at startup.
4.2 Reset Statistics To reset all statistics including LAN, WAN and xDSL click Reset Statistics. When the following window is displayed, simply click the Reset Statistics button to confirm your choice.
4.3 Troubleshoot Your device is capable of testing your DSL connection. Click Troubleshoot and the diagnostics window will display. The Diagnostics menu provides feedback on the connection status of the device and the ADSL link. Click Troubleshoot to bring up the following window. The individual test results are explained below.
Page 17
Test Description Ethernet Connection Pass: indicates that the Ethernet interface from your computer is connected to the LAN port of your DSL router. A flashing or solid green LAN LED on the router also signifies that an Ethernet connection is present and that this test is successful.
4.4 Wireless This page allows you to configure basic features of the wireless LAN interface. You can enable or disable the wireless LAN interface, hide the network from active scans, set the wireless network name (also known as SSID) and restrict the channel set based on country requirements.
Page 19
The options shown here allow you to configure security features of the wireless LAN interface.
4.4.1 Enable Wireless Option Description Enable Wireless A checkbox that enables or disables the wireless LAN interface. When selected, the Web UI displays Hide Access point, SSID, and County settings. The default is Enable Wireless. 4.4.2 Wireless - Security Configure Wireless security settings can be configured according to Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or Manual Setup.
Page 21
The settings for WPA authentication are shown below. The settings for WPA-PSK authentication are shown next. WEP Encryption This option specifies whether data sent over the network is encrypted. The same network key is used for data encryption and network authentication. Four network keys can be defined although only one can be used at any one time.
Page 22
Security options include authentication and encryption services based on the wired equivalent privacy (WEP) algorithm. WEP is a set of security services used to protect 802.11 networks from unauthorized access, such as eavesdropping; in this case, the capture of wireless network traffic. When data encryption is enabled, secret shared encryption keys are generated and used by the source station and the destination station to alter frame bits, thus avoiding disclosure to eavesdroppers.
Every WPS certified device has both a PIN number and a push button, located on the device or accessed through device software. The NexusLink 5700 has both a WPS button on the device and a virtual button accessible from the web user interface (WUI).
Page 24
NOTES: Your client may or may not have the ability to provide security settings to the NexusLink 5700. If it does not, then you must set the WPS AP mode to Configured. Consult the device documentation to check its capabilities.
Page 25
WPS AP mode selected in step 2. For Configured mode, click the Add Enrollee button. Step 7: Go to your WPS wireless client and activate the push-button function on your NexusLink 5700. A typical WPS client screenshot is shown below as an example.
Page 26
Now go to Step 8 (part IV. Check Connection) to check the WPS connection. IIIb. WPS – PIN CONFIGURATION Using this method, security settings are configured with a personal identification number (PIN). The PIN can be found on the device itself or within the software. The PIN may be generated randomly in the latter case.
Step 7: Activate the PIN function on the wireless client. For Configured mode, the client must be configured as an Enrollee. For Unconfigured mode, the client must be configured as the Registrar. This is different from the External Registrar function provided in Windows Vista. The figure below provides an example of a WPS client PIN function in-progress.
