Chapter 1 : Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless Router's features and capabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless Router. The Wireless Router is a multi-function device provid-
ing the following services:
•Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users.
•Wireless Access Point for 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n Wireless Stations.
•4-Port Switching Hub for 10BaseT or 100BaseT connections.
Figure 1: Wireless Router
1.1 Wireless Router Features
The Wireless Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide sophisticated functions while being easy
to use.
Internet Access Features
•Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet through the Wireless Router,
using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This
process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
•DSL & Cable Modem Support. The Wireless Router has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or
Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are supported.
•PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP Support. The Internet (WAN port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet),
PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol) and L2TP, as well as "Direct Connection" type services.
•Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the Wireless Router supports both Dy-
namic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.
Advanced Internet Functions
•Port Triggering. This feature, also called Special Applications, allows you to use Internet applications which
normally do not function when used behind a firewall.
•Port Forwarding. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup
is quick and easy.
•Dynamic DNS Support. DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature, allows users to connect to Servers
on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if you have a dynamic IP address which changes every time you con-
nect.
•URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.
•Access Control. Using the Access Control feature, you can assign LAN users to different groups, and determine
which Internet services are available to each group.

AirLive WN-200R User’s Manual 2
•Scheduling. Both the URL Filter and Firewall rules can be scheduled to operate only at certain times. This pro-
vides great flexibility in controlling Internet -bound traffic.
•Logs. Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send log data to a Syslog Server. Log data can
also be E-mailed to you.
•QoS Support Quality of Service can be used to handle packets so that more important connections receive
priority over less important one.
Wireless Features
•Standards Compliant. The Wireless Router complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for Wireless
LANs.
•Supports Pre-N Wireless Stations. The 802.11n Draft standard provides for backward compatibility with the
802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.
•Multi SSIDs Support. This feature can let you have 2 SSIDs on one AP, which provides more easy way for Guest
access and also secure your resource at the same time.
•Speeds to 150Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11N maximum of 150Mbps are supported.
•WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are
supported. WEP encrypts any data before transmission, providing protection against snoopers.
•WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmission, providing protection against
snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than WEP, and provides both easier configuration and greater secu-
rity than WEP.
•WPA2-PSK support. Support for WPA2 is also included. WPA2 uses the extremely secure AES encryption
method.
•802.1x Support. Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the industrial-strength wireless security of
802.1x authentication and authorization.
•Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature can check the MAC address (hardware
address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.
•Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed quickly and easily.
•WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any device to the wireless
network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the Wireless Access Point, or entering a PIN code if
there's no button.
•WDS Support. Support for WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows the Wireless Access Point to act as a
Wireless Bridge. Both Point-to-Point and Multi-Point Bridge modes are supported.
LAN Features
•4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless Router incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to
create or extend your LAN.
•DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other
devices upon request. The Wireless Router can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
Configuration & Management
•Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for configuration.
•Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from the Wireless Router to your
PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration file to the Wireless Router.
•Remote Management. The Wireless Router can be managed from any PC on your LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if
the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the Internet.
•Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless Router to perform a Ping or DNS lookup.
•UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and configuration of the Wireless
Router. UPnP is supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.
Security Features
•Password - protected Configuration. Password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from
modifying the configuration data and settings.
•Wireless LAN Security. WPA-PSK, WEP and Wireless access control by MAC address are all supported. The
MAC-level access control feature can be used to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.

AirLive WN-200R User’s Manual

•NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by allowing all
LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the ex-
ternal viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the Wireless Router.
•Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting
your network from malicious attacks from external sources.
•Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid pack-
ets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The
Wireless Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

Preparation
Before attempting to configure the Wireless Router, please ensure that:
•Your PC can establish a physical connection to the Wireless Router. The PC and the Wireless Router must be
directly connected (using the Hub ports on the Wireless Router) or on the same LAN segment.
•The Wireless Router must be installed and powered ON.
•If the Wireless Router's default IP Address (192.168.1.254) is already used by another device, the other device
must be turned OFF until the Wireless Router is allocated a new IP Address during configuration.
Using your Web Browser
To establish a connection from your PC to the Wireless Router:
1. After installing the Wireless Router in your LAN, start your PC. If your PC is already running, restart it.
2. Start your WEB browser.
3. In the Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the IP Address of the Wireless Router, as in this example, which uses the
Wireless Router's default IP Address:
HTTP://192.168.1.254
4. When prompted for the User name and Password, enter values as follows:
•User name admin
•Password airlive
If you can't connect
If the Wireless Router does not respond, check the following:
•The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it
is powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" com-
mand:
•Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
•Enter the command:
ping 192.168.1.254
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or
your PC's IP address is not compatible with the Wireless Router's
IP Address. (See next item.)
•If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the
range 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 to be compatible with the Wireless
Router's default IP Address of 192.168.1.254. Also, the Network Mask
must be set to 255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for de-
tails on checking your PC's TCP/IP settings.
•Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network
segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
•Ensure you are using the wired LAN interface. The Wireless interface
can only be used if its configuration matches your PC's wireless set-
tings.
3.3 Setup Wizard
The first time you connect to the Wireless Router, the Setup Wizard will run automatically. (The Setup Wizard will also
run if the Wireless Router's default settings are restored.)
1. Step through the Wizard until finished.

DHCP Server •If Enabled, the Wireless Router will allocate IP Addresses to
PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The
default (and recommended) value is Enabled.
•If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-
configured to treat the Wireless Router as the default Gate-
way. See the following section for further details.
•The Start IP Address, Finish IP Address and Lease Time
fields set the values used by the DHCP server when allocat-
ing IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This range also
determines the number of DHCP clients supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
DHCP
What DHCP Does
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a DHCP Client (PC or device)
upon request.
•The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).
•The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as allocating an IP Address.
•The Wireless Router can act as a DHCP server.
•Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP client. This is the default
Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However, Windows uses the term Obtain an IP Address auto-
matically instead of "DHCP Client".
•You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your LAN does not have other
Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on your LAN.)
Using the Wireless Router's DHCP Server
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen, you can:
•Enable or Disable the Wireless Router's DHCP Server function.
•Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices
while using DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses
are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server.
Using another DHCP Server
You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP Server, rather than the
Wireless Router's, the following procedure is required.
•Disable the DHCP Server feature in the Wireless Router. This setting is on the LAN screen.
•Configure the DHCP Server to provide the Wireless Router's IP Address as the Default Gateway.
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP for all non-Server versions of Windows.
See Chapter 4 - Client Configuration for the procedure to check these settings.
3.6 Mode Screen
Use this screen to change the mode between Router mode and Access Point mode.

AirLive WN-200R User’s Manual 12
Figure 7: Mode Screen
Select the desired option, and click "Save".
Router In this mode, this device can provide shared Internet Access to all
your LAN users. Also, by default, it acts a DHCP Server, providing an
IP address and related information to all Wireless and LAN users.
Access
Point
The device links your Wireless Stations to your wired LAN. The
Wireless stations and devices on the wired LAN are then on the
same network, and can communicate with each other without regard
for whether they are connected to the network via a Wireless or wired
connection.
You need to have a DHCP Server on your LAN to provide IP ad-
dresses to the Wireless clients using this Access Point.
Notes:
•Generally, you should NOT use access point mode. Only select this mode if you are sure this is what you want.
•After changing the mode, this device will restart, which will take a few seconds. The menu will also be changed,
depending on the mode you are in.
•For details on using Access Point Mode, see Chapter 8.
3.7 Wireless Options
The Wireless Router's settings must match the other Wireless stations.

Region Select the correct domain for your location. It is your responsibil-
ity to ensure:
•That the Wireless ADSL Router is only used in domains for
which is licensed.
•That you select the correct domain, so that only the legal
channels for that domain can be selected.
Multi SSID
SSID With Multiple SSIDs, you can have 2 SSIDs on one AP. For
example, a Guest SSID without encryption for visitors to have
Internet access only, and a Admin SSID with encryption for
private use to secure your company resources.
Select the desired SSID from the list to configure.
SSID 1/2 This is also called the "Network Name".
•If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access
points) this ID is called an ESSID (Extended Service Set
Identifier).
•To communicate, all Wireless stations should use the same
SSID/ESSID.
Broadcast
SSID
If enabled, the Wireless ADSL Router will broadcast its SSID.
This allows PCs and other wireless stations to detect this Ac-
cess Point and use the correct SSID.
If disabled, PC users will have to manually enter the SSID and
other details of the wireless interface before they can connect to
this Access Point.
Isolation within

Router if they are fully backward-compatible with the
802.11b standard.
•G only - Only 802.11g Wireless stations can use the Wire-
less Router.
•11b/g/n - 802.11.g, 802.11b and 802.11n Wireless stations
can use the Wireless Broadband Router.
Channel NO. Select the Channel you wish to use on your Wireless LAN.
•If you experience interference (shown by lost connections
and/or slow data transfers) you may need to experiment with
different channels to see which is the best.
•If using multiple Access Points, adjacent Access Points
should use different Channels to reduce interference.
Isolation

Use this feature to determine which Wireless stations can use
the Access Point. The options are:
•All Wireless Stations - All wireless stations can use the
access point, provided they have the correct SSID and secu-
rity settings.
•Trusted Wireless stations only - Only wireless stations
you designate as "Trusted" can use the Access Point, even
if they have the correct SSID and security settings.
This feature uses the MAC address to identify Wireless sta-
tions. The MAC address is a low-level network identifier
which is unique to each PC or network device.
To define the trusted wireless stations, use the "Set Sta-
tions" button.

Security Set-
ting
•Disabled - no data encryption is used.
•WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
•WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK stan-
dard. This is a later standard than WEP, and provides much
better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations sup-
port WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.
•WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK,
and offers even greater security, using the AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
•WPA-802.1x - This version of WPA requires a Radius
Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication ac-
cording to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are
encrypted using the WPA standard.
