Glossary of terms

 

 

 

Access

Management access is restricted to Read Only (Read) or Read/Write (Write).

Authentication

Choose 802.1X or Pre-shared Key to use as the authentication method.

 

 

• 802.1X: for the enterprise network with a RADIUS server.

 

 

Pre-shared key: for the SOHO network environment without an authentication

 

 

 

server.

Authentication Code

Password Authentication key.

Authentication Required

• None: No authentication.

 

 

• Password: A password authentication key is included in the packet. If this does not

 

 

match what is expected, the packet will be discarded. This method

 

 

provides very little security as it is possible to learn the authentication

 

 

key by watching RIP packets.

Auto summary

If Auto summary is disabled, then RIP packets will include sub-network information

 

 

from all subnetworks connected to the router.

 

 

If enabled, this sub-network information will be summarized to one piece of

 

 

information covering all subnetworks.

Channel

The radio channel used by the wireless router and its clients to communicate with

 

 

each other. This channel must be the same on the ADSL Wireless Base Station and

 

 

all of its wireless clients.

 

 

The ADSL Wireless Base Station will automatically assign itself a radio channel, or

 

 

you may select one manually.

Community

A community name authorized for management access.

Community

A community string (password) specified for trap management.

 

 

Enter a word, something other than public or private, to prevent unauthorized

 

 

individuals from accessing information on your system.

Cypher suite

The security mechanism used in WPA for encryption.

Data rate

• Upstream

Maximum upstream data rate.

 

 

• Downstream

Maximum downstream data rate.

Description

Click on the VC to set the values for the connection.

DHCP Client Log

Displays information on DHCP clients on your network.

DHCP Server

The ADSL Wireless Base Station comes with the DHCP function. Enable this

 

 

function to dynamically assign an IP address to client PCs.

Domain Name

If your network uses a domain name, enter it here. Otherwise, leave this field blank.

Encapsulation

Specifies how to handle multiple protocols at the ATM transport layer.

 

 

VC-MUX: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Virtual Circuit Multiplexer (null

 

 

encapsulation) allows only one protocol running per virtual circuit with

 

 

less overhead.

 

 

• LLC: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Logical Link Control (LLC) allows multiple

 

 

protocols running over one virtual circuit (using slightly more overhead).

Enable

RIP enabled on this interface.

Enable Filtering Function

Click Yes to turn on the filtering function.

ESSID

Extended Service Set ID. The ESSID must be the same on the ADSL Wireless Base

 

 

Station and all of its wireless clients.

ESSID Broadcast

Enable or disable the broadcasting of the SSID.

End IP Address

Specify the end IP address of the DHCP pool.

Fast Path CRC Error

The number of Fast Path Cyclic Redundancy Check errors.

Fast Path HEC Error

Fast Path Header Error Concealment errors.

Firewall

Configures a variety of security and specialized functions including: Access Control,

 

 

URL blocking, Internet access control scheduling, intruder detection, and DMZ.
