WPS
Introduction of WPS
Although home Wi-Fi networks have become more and more
popular, users still have trouble with the initial set up of network.
This obstacle forces users to use the open security and
increases the risk of eavesdropping. Therefore, WPS is
designed to ease set up of security-enabled Wi-Fi networks and
subsequently network management (Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Specification 1.0h.pdf, p. 8).
The largest difference between WPS-enabled devices and
legacy devices is that users do not need the knowledge about
SSID, channel and security settings, but they could still surf in a
security-enabled Wi-Fi network. For examples, in the initial
network set up, if users want to use the PIN configuration, the
only thing they need to do is entering the device PIN into
registrar, starting the PIN method on that device and simply wait
until the device joins the network. After the PIN method is
started on both sides, a registration protocol will be initiated
between the registrar and the enrollee. Typically, a registrar
could be an access point or other device that is capable of
managing the network. An enrollee could be an access point or
a station that will join the network. After the registration protocol
has been done, the enrollee will receive SSID and security
settings from the registrar and then join the network. In other
words; if a station attempts to join a network managed by an
access point with built-in internal registrar, users will need to
enter station’s PIN into the web page of that access point. If the
device PIN is correct and valid and users start PIN on station,
the access point and the station will automatically exchange the
encrypted information of the network settings under the
management of AP’s internal registrar. The station then uses
this information to perform authentication algorithm, join the
secure network, and transmit data with the encryption algorithm.
More details will be demonstrated in the following sections.
86
User’s Guide Configuring your Computers
AP mode
For AP mode, Wireless Gateway supports three roles, registrar,
proxy, and enrollee in registration protocol. At different
scenarios, Wireless Gateway will automatically switch to an
appropriate role depending on the other device’s role or a
specific configuration.
AP as Enrollee
If users know AP’s PIN and enter it into external registrar, the
external registrar will configure AP with a new wireless profile
such as new SSID and new security settings. The external
registrar does this job either utilizing the in-band EAP (wireless)
or out-of-band UPnP (Ethernet). During the WPS handshake, a
wireless profile is encrypted and transmitted to AP. If the
handshake is successfully done, AP will be re-initialized with the
new wireless profile and wait for legacy stations or WPS
stations to join its network.
AP as Registrar
Wireless Gateway also has a built-in internal registrar.
Whenever users enter station’s PIN into AP’s webpage, click
“Start PBC”, or push the physical button, AP will switch to
registrar automatically. If users apply the same method on
station side and the WPS handshake is successfully done,
SSID and security settings will be transmitted to that station
without the risk of eavesdropping. And then the station will
associate with AP in a security-enabled network.
AP as Proxy
At this state, AP is transparent to users. If users want to
configure a station or any device that is capable of being an
enrollee, they have to enter device’s PIN into an external
registrar and choose an appropriate wireless profile. After the
PIN is entered, the external registrar will inform AP this event.
AP then conveys the encrypted wireless profile between the
device and the external registrar. Finally, the device will use the
wireless profile and associate with AP. However, the device
may connect to other APs if the wireless profile does not belong
to the proxy AP. Users must carefully choose the wireless
profile or create a wireless profile on an external registrar.
Infrastructure-Client mode
In Infrastructure-Client mode, Wireless Gateway only supports
enrollee’s role. If users click “Start PIN”, click “Start PBC”, or
press the physical button on Wireless Gateway, it will start to
seek WPS AP. Once users apply the same method on registrar
side, Wireless Gateway will receive the wireless profile upon
successfully doing the registration protocol. Then Wireless
Gateway will associate with an AP.
87
User’s Guide Configuring your Computers
88
User’s Guide Configuring your Computers
Field Description
WPS Status When AP’s settings are factory default (out of box), it is
set to open security and un-configured state. “WPS
Status” will display it as “UnConfigured”. If it already
shows “Configured”, some registrars such as Vista
WCN will not configure AP. Users will need to go to the
“Backup/Restore” page and click “Reset” to reload
factory default settings.
Push Button Clicking this button will invoke the PBC method of
Configuration WPS. It is only used when AP acts as a registrar.
Client PIN It is only used when users want their station to join
Number AP’s network. The length of PIN is limited to four or
eight numeric digits. If users enter eight-digit PIN with
checksum error, there will be a warning message
popping up. If users insist on this PIN, AP will take it.

14 Routing
The Routing page enables you to define specific route for your
Internet and network data.
Most users do not need to define routes. On a typical small
home or office LAN, the existing routes that set up the default
gateways for your LAN hosts and for the DSL device provide
the most appropriate path for all your Internet traffic.
−On your LAN hosts, a default gateway directs all Internet traffic
to the LAN port(s) on the DSL device. Your LAN hosts know
their default gateway either because you assigned it to them
when you modified your TCP/IP properties, or because you
configured them to receive the information dynamically from a
server whenever they access the Internet.
−On the DSL device itself, a default gateway is defined to direct
all outbound Internet traffic to a route at your ISP. The default
gateway is assigned either automatically by your ISP whenever
the device negotiates an Internet access, or manually by user to
setup through the configuration.
You may need to define routes if your home setup includes two
or more networks or subnets, if you connect to two or more ISP
services, or if you connect to a remote corporate LAN.

15 DMZ
A demilitarized zone (DMZ) is a host or small network that acts
as neutral ground between the inside and outside network. It
contains information that is useful to users of both the inside
and outside network. For example, a company may wish to
provide software patches to customers via an FTP server.
However, it does not want FTP access to any hosts other than
the FTP server. This is achieved by creating a DMZ network
which is less restrictive than the internal network.Users attached
to the outside network can access the DMZ, but they cannot
access any other company data.

Your device has built in advanced Security features that protect
your network by blocking unwanted traffic from the Internet.
If you simply want to connect from your local network to the
Internet, you do not need to make any changes to the default
Security configuration. You only need to edit the configuration if
you wish to do one or both of the following:
allow Internet users to browse the user pages on your local
network (for example, by providing an FTP or HTTP server)
play certain games which require accessibility from the
Internet
This chapter describes how to configure Security to suit the
needs of your network.
By default, the IP addresses of your LAN PCs are hidden from
the Internet. All data sent from your LAN PCs to a PC on the
Internet appears to come from the IP address of your device.
In this way, details about your LAN PCs remain private. This
security feature is called Port Forwarding.

31 UPnP
UPnP is an architecture for pervasive peer-to-peer network
connectivity of intelligent appliances, Wireless devices, and PCs
of all form factors. It is designed to bring easy-to-use, flexible,
standards-based connectivity to ad-hoc or unmanaged
networks whether in the home, in a small business, public
spaces, or attached to the Internet. UPnP is a distributed, open
networking architecture that leverages TCP/IP and the Web
technologies to enable seamless proximity networking in
addition to control and data transfer among networked devices
in the home, office, and public spaces.
UPnP is more than just a simple extension of the plug and play
peripheral model. It is designed to support zero-configuration,
"invisible" networking, and automatic discovery for a breadth of
device categories from a wide range of vendors. This means a
device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address,
convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and
capabilities of other devices. DHCP and DNS servers are
optional and are used only if available on the network. Finally, a
device can leave a network smoothly and automatically without
leaving any unwanted state behind.
The DSL device supports a control point for Universal Plug and
Play (UPnP) version 1.0, and supports two key features: NAT
Traversal and Device Identification. This feature requires one
active WAN interface. In addition, the host should support this
feature. In the presence of multiple WAN interfaces, select an
interface on which the incoming traffic is present.
With NAT Traversal, when an UPnP command is received to
open ports in NAT, the application translates the request into
system commands to open the ports in NAT and the firewall.
The interface to open the ports on is given to UPnP when it
starts up and is part of the configuration of the application.
For Device Identification, the application will send a description
of the DSL device as a control point back to the host making the
request.

User’s Guide IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets
Structure of an IP address
IP addresses have a hierarchical design similar to that of
telephone numbers. For example, a 7-digit telephone number
starts with a 3-digit prefix that identifies a group of thousands of
telephone lines, and ends with four digits that identify one
specific line in that group.
Similarly, IP addresses contain two kinds of information:
Network ID
Identifies a particular network within the Internet or intranet
Host ID
Identifies a particular computer or device on the network
The first part of every IP address contains the network ID, and
the rest of the address contains the host ID. The length of the
network ID depends on the network's class (see following
section). The table below shows the structure of an IP address.
Network classes
The three commonly used network classes are A, B, and C.
(There is also a class D but it has a special use beyond the
199
User’s Guide IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets
Subnet masks
Subnet masks are used to define subnets (what you get after
dividing a network into smaller pieces). A subnet's network ID is
created by "borrowing" one or more bits from the host ID portion
of the address. The subnet mask identifies these host ID bits.
For example, consider a class C network 192.168.1. To split this
into two subnets, you would use the subnet mask:
255.255.255.128
It's easier to see what's happening if we write this in binary:
11111111. 11111111. 11111111.10000000
As with any class C address, all of the bits in field1 through
field3 are part of the network ID, but note how the mask
specifies that the first bit in field4 is also included. Since this
extra bit has only two values (0 and 1), this means there are two
subnets. Each subnet uses the remaining 7 bits in field4 for its
host IDs, which range from 1 to 126 hosts (instead of the usual
0 to 255 for a class C address).
Similarly, to split a class C network into four subnets, the mask
is:

100BASE-T A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet
networks with a data rate of 100 Mbps. Also known as
Category 5 (CAT 5) wiring. See data rate, Ethernet.
ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
The most commonly deployed "flavor" of DSL for home users
is asymmetrical DSL. The term asymmetrical refers to its
unequal data rates for downloading and uploading (the
download rate is higher than the upload rate). The
asymmetrical rates benefit home users because they
typically download much more data from the Internet than
they upload.
analog An analog signal is a signal that has had its frequency
modified in some way, such as by amplifying its strength or
varying its frequency, in order to add information to the signal.
The voice component in DSL is an analog signal. See digital.
ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode
A standard for high-speed transmission of data, text, voice,
and video, widely used within the Internet. ATM data rates
range from 45 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps. See data rate.
authenticate To verify a user’s identity, such as by prompting for a
password.
binary The "base two" system of numbers, that uses only two digits,
0 and 1, to represent all numbers. In binary, the number 1 is
written as 1, 2 as 10, 3 as 11, 4 as 100, etc. Although
expressed as decimal numbers for convenience, IP
addresses in actual use are binary numbers; e.g., the IP
address 209.191.4.240 is
11010001.10111111.00000100.11110000 in binary. See bit,
IP address, network mask.
bit Short for "binary digit," a bit is a number that can have two
values, 0 or 1. See binary.
bps bits per second
bridging Passing data from your network to your ISP and vice versa
using the hardware addresses of the devices at each location.
Bridging contrasts with routing, which can add more
intelligence to data transfers by using network addresses
instead. The Wireless ADSL2+ Router can perform both
routing and bridging. Typically, when both functions are
enabled, the device routes IP data and bridges all other
types of data. See routing.
broadband A telecommunications technology that can send different
types of data over the same medium. DSL is a broadband
technology.
broadcast To send data to all computers on a network.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP automates address assignment and management.
