Setting Up Your
Computer
Setting Up Your Computer

This chapter will guide you through a step by step configuration of your
computer.
The Gateway has the ability to dynamically allocate network addresses to the
computers on your network using DHCP. However, your computers need to be
configured correctly for this to take place. To change the configuration of your
computers to allow this, follow the instructions in this chapter.
ETHERNET CONNECTION
You have to verify the existence of a TCP/IP protocol stack and, then, according
to your Operating System, to establish an Ethernet connection to the Gateway.
This connection will require you to enable your computer to receive from the
Gateway its own IP Address automatically: in such a case, the Gateway acts
like the DHCP server in your local network.
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION
To access the Internet through the Gateway, you must configure the network
settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as Gateway.
The default IP settings for the Gateway are:
IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.1
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
These settings can be changed to fit your network requirements, but you must
first configure at least one computer to access the Gateway's web configuration
interface in order to make the required changes.

The IP Interface panel description can be reached by choosing a Network Con-

nection in the Network Connection Panel in the description column.
IP Interface Settings panel (see Figure 13) allows you:

 To assign an interface label
 To enable/disable the LAN Bridge functionality. LAN Bridge only re-
transmits packets that need passing from a LAN to another one, sepa-
rating local traffic from LANs that are being interconnected.
 To check its current status (Up/Down)
 To Enable or disable NAT. The network address translation (NAT)
functionality provided by the Routing and Remote Access service en-
ables computers on a private network to access computers on a pub-
lic network, such as the Internet.
 To set MTU value (automatic or user defined).
MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest
packet size permitted for Internet transmission. In the default setting,
Automatic, the gateway selects the best MTU for your Internet con-
nection. Select "Automatic by DHCP" to have the DHCP determine
the MTU. In case you select "Manual", it is recommended to enter a
value in the 1200 to 1500 range.

WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the standard method to simplify the security
setup and management of the Wi-Fi networks. You now can easily setup and
connect to a WPA-enabled 802.11 network with WPS-certificated devices using
either Personal Information Number (PIN) – Station PIN or Access Point PIN -
or Push Button Configuration (PBC) method.
Legacy devices without WPS can be added to the network using the traditional
Manual Configuration method.
For the PIN method, enter the PIN from the Gateway side and click the Enroll
button. Then start WPS on the client device from its wireless utility or WPS ap-
plication within 2 minutes. If an external registrar is available, you can also enter
Gateway's PIN at the external registrar.
For PBC method, push and hold the WLAN button on the Gateway front panel
for 3 seconds or click the Start PBC button. Then start PBC on the device you
want to connect to the Gateway within 2 minutes.
For the Manual Configuration method, manually setup the displayed values of

WEP
If you want to use WEP to protect your wireless network, you need to set the
same parameters for the VoIP Gateway and all your wireless clients. You may
automatically generate encryption keys or manually enter the keys.
WPA/WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP)
and 802.1x mechanisms. It provides dynamic key encryption and AES authen-
tication service.
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) is a product certification that is available

through the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPA2 certifies that wireless equipment is compati-
ble with the IEEE 802.11i standard. The WPA2 product certification formally re-
places Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and the other security features of the
original IEEE 802.11 standard. The goal of WPA2 certification is to support the
additional mandatory security features of the IEEE 802.11i standard that are not
already included for products that support WPA.

communication which enable the Video transmission over Wireless with higher
quality.
- No Acknowledgment (Y/N): It affects the behavior of clients toward the AP in
WMM context
- Unscheduled APSD (Y/N): Once WMM is enabled it manages the “Automatic
Power Save Delivering”, enabling in that way the power save on the client
side.

®
g-Settings:
- g-Mode Protection (Y/N): It affect back compatibility with 802.11b clients.
Choosing YES, the AP manages communication in such a way that all devices
can works together at the same time.
n-Settings:
- n-Mode Protection (Y/N): It affect back compatibility with 802.11b/g clients.
Choosing YES, the AP manage communication in such a way that all devices
can works together at the same time.
- Operating Bandwidth (20 MHz / 40 MHz): 802.11 n standard gives the possi-
bility to use 2 channels bandwidth (1 channel = 20MHz, 2 channel = 40 MHz).
Choosing 40MHz Operating bandwidth, it results in an increase of data speed
over Wireless connection.
- Modulation Coding Scheme Index (MCS) – (Auto / 0-15): By default, the Auto
is set; that gives the possibility to the AP to change the Modulation according
to environment conditions. Values MCS (0-7) correspond to data rates availa-
ble by one stream and can be up to 150 Mbps. Values MCS (8-15) correspond
to data rates available by 2 streams and can go up to theoretical 300Mbps.
- A-MPDU (Y/N): Aggregation of multiple MPDUs in one PSDU. It may impro-

ve data speed in certain real conditions
- STBC Rx (Y/N): Space Time Block Coding. May improve Wi-Fi coverage in
certain real conditions.
- STBC Tx (Y/N): Space Time Block Coding. May improve Wi-Fi coverage in
certain real conditions.
- OBSS Coexistence (Y/N): Enabling Overlapping Basic Service Set, the
802.11n AP gives the possibility to legacy (b/g devices) to transmit over the
same channel. It affects the data speed in case of other legacy AP are trans-
mitting.
The radio channel is used by the Gateway and its clients to communicate with
each other. This channel must be the same on the Gateway and all of its wire-
less clients.
The Gateway will automatically assign itself a radio channel, or you may select
one manually.

DNS CLIENT, RELAY AND

HOSTNAMES
The DNS Client, Relay and Hostnames Panel (see Figure 38), accessible
through Settings item selection, allows you to define the DNS Server settings.
Domain Name System (DNS) provides a service that translates domain names
into IP addresses and vice versa. The gateway's DNS server is a self learning
DNS, which means that when a new computer is connected to the network the
DNS server learns its name and automatically adds it to the DNS table. Other
network users may immediately communicate with this computer using either its
name or its IP address.
In addition your gateway's DNS:

 Shares a common database of domain names and IP addresses with
the DHCP server.
 Supports multiple sub-nets within the LAN simultaneously.
 Automatically appends a domain name to unqualified names.
 Allows new domain names to be added to the database using Gate-
way's WBM.
 Permits a computer to have multiple host names.
 Permits a host name to have multiple IPs (needed if a host has multi-
ple network cards).

®
The DNS server does not require configuration. However, you may wish to
view the list of computers known by the DNS, edit the host name or IP ad-
dress of a computer on the list, or manually add a new computer to the list.

Glossary
A
802.11b
The IEEE specification for wireless interface 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 environ-
ment.
802.11g
The IEEE specification for wireless interface which allows speeds of up to 54 Mbps. The standard provides
for 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps data rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range and en-
vironment.
802.11n
The IEEE specification for wireless interface which allows speeds of up to 300 Mbps. The rates will switch
automatically depending on range and environment.
10BASE-T
The IEEE specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable.
100/1000 BASE-T/TX
The IEEE specification for 100/1000 Mbps Fast/Gigabit Ethernet over Category 5 twisted-pair cable.
Access Point
An Access Point is a device through which wireless clients connect to other wireless clients and which acts
as a bridge between wireless clients and a wired network, such as Ethernet. Wireless clients can be moved
anywhere within the coverage area of the access point and still connect with each other. If connected to an
Ethernet network, the access point monitors Ethernet traffic and forwards appropriate Ethernet messages to
the wireless network, while also monitoring wireless client radio traffic and forwarding wireless client mes-
sages to the Ethernet LAN.
Ad Hoc mode
Ad Hoc mode is a configuration supported by most wireless clients. It is used to connect a peer to peer net-
work together without the use of an access point. It offers lower performance than infrastructure mode, which
is the mode the router uses. (see also Infrastructure mode.
HBK 123391 141

Auto-negotiation
Some devices in the range support auto-negotiation. Auto-negotiation is where two devices sharing a link,
automatically configure to use the best common speed. The order of preference (best first) is: 100BASE-TX
full duplex, 100BASE-TX half duplex, 10BASE-T full duplex, and 10BASE-T half duplex. Auto-negotiation is
defined in the IEEE 802.3 standard for Ethernet and is an operation that takes place in a few milliseconds.
Bandwidth
The information capacity, measured in bits per second, that a channel can transmit. The bandwidth of Ether-
net is 10 Mbps, the bandwidth of Fast Ethernet is 100 Mbps. The bandwidth for 802.11b wireless is 11Mbps.
Category 5 Cables
One of five grades of Twisted Pair (TP) cabling defined by the EIA/TIA-586 standard. Category 5 can be
used in Ethernet (10BASE-T) and Fast Ethernet networks (100BASE-TX) and can transmit data up to
speeds of 100 Mbps. Category 5 cabling is better to use for network cabling than Category 3, because it
supports both Ethernet (10 Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) speeds.
Channel
Similar to any radio device, the Wireless Cable/DSL router allows you to choose different radio channels in
the wireless spectrum. A channel is a particular frequency within the 2.4GHz spectrum within which the
Router operates.
Client
The term used to described the desktop PC that is connected to your network.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically assigns an IP address for every computer
on your network. Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 contain software that assigns IP addresses
to workstations on a network. These assignments are made by the DHCP server software that runs on Win-
dows NT Server, and Windows 95 and Windows 98 will call the server to obtain the address. Windows 98
will allocate itself an address if no DHCP server can be found.
DMZ
DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is an area outside the firewall, to let remote users to have access to items on your
network (Web site, FTP download and upload area, etc.).
DNS Server Address
DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name (such
as adbglobal.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.168.10.8). A DNS server keeps a database
of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is re-
quested (as in typing “adbglobal.com” into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address.
The DNS server address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server
your ISP has assigned.
142 HBK 123391

DSL
Short for digital subscriber line, but is commonly used in reference to the asymmetric version of this technol-
ogy (ADSL) that allows data to be sent over existing copper telephone lines at data rates of from 1.5 to 9
Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data
(known as the upstream rate). ADSL requires a special ADSL modem. ADSL is growing in popularity as
more areas around the world gain access.
DSL modem
DSL stands for digital subscriber line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to send and receive da-
ta at high speeds.
Encryption
A method for providing a level of security to wireless data transmissions. The Router uses two levels of en-
cryption; 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.
Ethernet Address
See MAC address.
Fast Ethernet
An Ethernet system that is designed to operate at 100 Mbps.
Firewall
Electronic protection that prevents anyone outside of your network from seeing your files or damaging your
computers.
Full Duplex
A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received at the same time and, in effect, doubles the po-
tential throughput of a link.
Gigabit Ethernet
An Ethernet system that is designed to operate at 1000 Mbps.
HBK 123391 143

IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. This American organization was founded in 1963 and sets
standards for computers and communications.
IETF
Internet Engineering Task Force. An organization responsible for providing engineering solutions for TCP/IP
networks. In the network management area, this group is responsible for the development of the SNMP pro-
tocol.
IGMP
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an Internet protocol that provides a way for an Internet
computer to report its multicast group membership to adjacent routers. Multicasting allows one computer on
the Internet to send content to multiple other computers that have identified themselves as interested in re-
ceiving the originating computer's content. Multicasting can be used for such applications as updating the
address books of mobile computer users in the field, sending out company newsletters to a distribution list,
and "broadcasting" high-bandwidth programs of streaming media to an audience that has "tuned in" by set-
ting up a multicast group membership.
Infrastructure mode
Infrastructure mode is the wireless configuration supported by the Router. You will need to ensure all of your
clients are set up to use infrastructure mode in order for them to communicate with the Access Point built into
your Router. (see also Ad Hoc mode)
IP
Internet Protocol. IP is a layer 3 network protocol that is the standard for sending data through a network. IP
is part of the TCP/IP set of protocols that describe the routing of packets to addressed devices. An IP ad-
dress consists of 32 bits divided into two or three fields: a network number and a host number or a network
number, a subnet number, and a host number.
IP Address
Internet Protocol Address. A unique identifier for a device attached to a network using TCP/IP. The address
is written as four octets separated with periods (full-stops), and is made up of a network section, an optional
subnet section and a host section.
IPv4 and IPv6
IPv6, also called IPng (or IP Next Generation), is the next planned version of the IP address system. While
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses, IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses.
ISP
Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and
other businesses or organizations.

LAN
Local Area Network. A network of end stations (such as PCs, printers, servers) and network devices (hubs
and switches) that cover a relatively small geographic area (usually not larger than a floor or building). LANs
are characterized by high transmission speeds over short distances (up to 1000 metres).
MAC
Media Access Control. A protocol specified by the IEEE for determining which devices have access to a
network at any one time.
MAC Address
Media Access Control Address. Also called the hardware or physical address. A layer 2 address associated
with a particular network device. Most devices that connect to a LAN have a MAC address assigned to them
as they are used to identify other devices in a network. MAC addresses are 6 bytes long.
Mbps
Megabits per second.
MDI/MDIX
In cable wiring, the concept of transmit and receive are from the perspective of the PC, which is wired as a
Media Dependant Interface (MDI). In MDI wiring, a PC transmits on pins 1 and 2. At the hub, switch, router,
or 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).
NAT
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
without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.
Network
A Network is a collection of computers and other computer equipment that are connected for the purpose of
exchanging information or sharing resources. Networks vary in size, some are within a single room, others
span continents.
Network Interface Card (NIC)
A circuit board installed into a piece of computing equipment, for example, a computer, that enables you to
connect it to the network. A NIC is also known as an adapter or adapter card.
Protocol
A set of rules for communication between devices on a network. The rules dictate format, timing, sequencing
and error control.
HBK 123391 145

PSTN
Public Switched Telephone Network.
PPPoA
Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM. PPP over ATM is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet
over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.
PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a method of data transmission originally cre-
ated for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet connections.
RJ-45
A standard connector used to connect Ethernet networks. The “RJ” stands for “registered jack”.
Router
A device that acts as a central hub by connecting to each computer's network interface card and managing
the data traffic between the local network and the Internet.
Server
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
physical networks.
Subnet mask
A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers
configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network
(as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must assigned by InterNIC).
Subnets
A network that is a component of a larger network.

Switch
A device that interconnects several LANs to form a single logical LAN that comprises of several LAN seg-
ments. Switches are similar to bridges, in that they connect LANs of a different type; however they connect
more LANs than a bridge and are generally more sophisticated.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is the name for two of the most well-known protocols
developed for the interconnection of networks. Originally a UNIX standard, TCP/IP is now supported on al-
most all platforms, and is the protocol of the Internet.
TCP
It relates to the content of the data travelling through a network — ensuring that the information sent arrives
in one piece when it reaches its destination. IP relates to the address of the end station to which data is be-
ing sent, as well as the address of the destination network.
Traffic
The movement of data packets on a network.
Universal plug and play
Universal plug and play is a system which allows compatible applications to read some of their settings from
the Router. This allows them to automatically configure some, or all, of their settings and need less user con-
figuration.
URL Filter
A URL Filter is a feature of a firewall that allows it to stop its clients form browsing inappropriate Web sites.
UTP
Unshielded twisted pair is the cable used by 10BASE-T and 100BASE-Tx Ethernet networks.
VCI
VCI - Virtual Channel Identifier. The identifier in the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) cell header that
identifies to which virtual channel the cell belongs.
VPI
VPI - Virtual Path Identifier. The field in the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) cell header that identifies to
which VP (Virtual Path) the cell belongs.
HBK 123391 147

WAN
Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas (for exam-
ple, different buildings, cities, or countries). The Internet is an example of a wide area network.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy. A shared key encryption mechanism for wireless networking. Encryption strength
is 40/64 bit or 128 bit.
Wi-Fi
Wireless Fidelity. This is the certification granted by WECA to products that meet their inter operability crite-
ria. (see also 802.11n, WECA)
Wireless Client
The term used to describe a desktop or mobile PC that is wirelessly connected to your wireless network
Wireless LAN Service Area
Another term for ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier)
Wizard
A Windows application that automates a procedure such as installation or configuration.
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).
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access. A dynamically changing encryption mechanism for wireless networking. Encryption
strength is 256 bit.
