The device in the network: In Client mode, the device actually serves as a wireless adapter

to receive the wireless signal from root AP or Station. In this case, wired devices can

access the wireless network by connecting to the device in Client mode.

1.3 Repeater (Range Extender)

The device in Repeater mode can extend wireless coverage of an existing wireless

network. The SSID and encryption type of the device should be the same as those of the

root AP.

4.4 Configure the Forwarding Feature

Note:

Forwarding submenu is only available in AP Router mode and AP client Router (WISP client) mode.

The IP address used on the internet is public IP address, while IP address used on local

area network is private IP address. The hosts using private IP addresses cannot access

the internet directly and vice versa.

Картинка с сайта: manual-pdf.com

63

The hosts using private IP addresses visit internet through NAT (Network Address

Translation) technology. NAT can transfer private IP addresses into public IP addresses to

realize the communication from internal hosts to external hosts.

If the hosts on the internet want to visit the hosts on local area network, the forwarding

function should be used, including DMZ, Virtual server, Port triggering and UPnP.

Go to the Network page. In the Forwarding section, configure the following parameters

and click

Apply

. Then click

Save

.

DMZ Enable or disable the DMZ function. DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) specifically

allows one computer/device behind NAT to become “demilitarized”, so all

packets from the external network are forwarded to this computer/device.

The demilitarized host is exposed to the wide area network, which can

realize the unlimited bidirectional communication between internal hosts

and external hosts.

DMZ IP Specify the IP address of the local host network device. The DMZ host

device will be completely exposed to the external network. Any PC that was

used for a DMZ must have a static or reserved IP Address because its IP

Address may change when using the DHCP function.

ALG Select the type of ALG to enable the corresponding feature. Common

NAT only translates the address of packets at network layer and the port

number at transport layer but cannot deal with the packets with embedded

source/destination information in the application layer. Application layer

gateway (ALG) can deal with protocols with embedded source/destination

information in the application payload. Some protocols such as FTP, TFTP,

H323 and RTSP require ALG (Application Layer Gateway) support to pass

through NAT.

FTP ALG: Allows FTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT.

TFTP ALG: Allows TFTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT.

H323 ALG: Allows Microsoft NetMeeting clients to communicate across

NAT.

RTSP ALG: Allows some media player clients to communicate with some

streaming media servers across NAT.

64

Virtual Server Enable or disable Virtual Server. Virtual servers can be used for setting up

public services on your local area network, such as DNS, Email and FTP. A

virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from the internet

to this service port will be redirected to the LAN server. Virtual Server

function not only makes the users from internet visit the local area network,

but also keeps network security within the intranet as other services are

still invisible from internet. The LAN server must have a static or reserved

IP Address because its IP Address may change when using the DHCP

function.

To configure Virtual Server:

Click

Add

, specify the following parameters and

Enable

the entry. Click

Save

.

IP: Enter the IP Address of the PC providing the service application.

Internal Port: Enter the Internal Port number of the PC running the service

application. You can leave it blank if the Internal Port is the same as the

Service Port, or enter a specific port number.

Service Port: Enter the numbers of external Service Port. You can type a

service port or a range of service ports (the format is XXX – YYY, XXX is the

start port, YYY is the end port). Internet users send request to the port for

services.

Protocol: Choose the one of the protocols used for this application: TCP,

UDP, or TCP/UDP.

Картинка с сайта: manual-pdf.com

65

Port Trigger Enable or disable port trigger. Due to the existence of the firewall, some

applications such as online games, video conferences, VoIPs and P2P

downloads need the device to configure the forwarding to work properly,

and these applications require multiple ports connection, for single-port

virtual server cannot meet the demand. Port trigger function comes at this

time. When an application initiates a connection to the trigger port, all the

incoming ports will open for subsequent connections.

To configure port trigger:

Click

Add

, specify the following parameters and

Enable

the entry. Click

Save

.

Incoming Port: Enter the incoming port for incoming traffic. The port or

port range is used by the remote system when it responds to the outgoing

request. A response to one of these ports will be forwarded to the PC that

triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port section).

Every group of ports must be set apart with “,”. For example, 2000-2038,

2050-2051, 2085, 3010-3030.

Trigger Port: Enter the trigger port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing

connection using this port will “Trigger” this rule.

Protocol: Choose the one of the protocols used for this application: TCP,

UDP, or TCP/UDP.

Картинка с сайта: manual-pdf.com

66

UPnP Enable or disable UPnP. If you use applications such as multiplayer

gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications such

as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP),

you should enable the UPnP function. The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

function allows the devices, such as internet computers, to access the

local host resources or devices as needed. Host in the local area network

can automatically open the corresponding ports on a router, and make

the application of external host access the resources of the internal host

through the opened ports. Therefore, the functions limited to the NAT

can work properly. Compared to virtual server and port triggering, the

application of UPnP doesn’t need manual settings. It is more convenient for

some applications required unfixed ports.

App Description: Displays the description provided by the application in

the UPnP request.

External Port: Displays the external port number that the router opened for

the service application.

Protocol: Displays which type of protocol is opened.

Internal Port: Displays the internal service port number of the local host

running the service application.

IP Address: Displays the IP address of the local host which initiates the

UPnP request.

Status: Enabled means that port is still active. Otherwise, the port is

inactive.

4.5 Configure the Security Feature

Note:

Security submenu is only available in AP Router mode and AP client Router (WISP client) mode.

Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) is a firewall that keeps track of the state of network

connections (such as TCP streams, UDP communication) traveling across it. The firewall

is programmed to distinguish legitimate packets for different types of connections. Only

packets matching a known active connection will be allowed to pass through by the

firewall and others will be rejected. SPI Firewall is enabled by factory default.

Картинка с сайта: manual-pdf.com

67

1. Go to the Network page. In the Security > Basic section, configure the following

parameters and click

Apply

.

SPI Firewall Check the Enable box to use the SPI Firewall function. If forwarding

rules are enabled at the same time, the device will give priority to meet

forwarding rules.

Ping Select and enable the ping forbidden function.

WAN Ping Forbidden: Enable or disable this function. With this option

enabled, the device will not reply the ping request originates from

internet. By default, it is disabled.

LAN Ping Forbidden: Enable or disable this function. With this option

enabled, the device will not reply the ping request originates from local

network.

VPN Select and enable the VPN function.

A VPN is created by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection

through the use of dedicated connections, virtual tunneling protocols, or

traffic encryptions. Through VPN you can access your private network

over internet. A virtual private network connection across the internet

is similar to a wide area network (WAN) link between sites. From a user

perspective, the extended network resources are accessed in the same

way as resources available within the private network. When hosts in the

local area network want to visit the remote virtual private network using

virtual tunneling protocols, the corresponding VPN protocol should be

enabled.

PPTP Passthrough: PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) allows

the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be tunneled through an IP (Internet

Protocol) network. Check the box to allow PPTP tunnels to pass through

the Device.

L2TP Passthrough: L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) is the method

used to enable Point-to-Point connections via the internet on the Layer

Two level. Check the box to allow L2TP tunnels to pass through the

Device.

IPSec Passthrough: IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is a suite of

protocols for ensuring private, secure communications over IP (Internet

Protocol) networks, through the use of cryptographic security services.

Check the box to allow IPSec tunnels to pass through the Device.

DoS Protection Enable the DoS Protection and specify the parameters.

DoS (Denial of Service) Attack is to occupy the network bandwidth

maliciously by the network attackers or the evil programs sending a

lot of service requests to the Host, which incurs an abnormal service

or even breakdown of the network. With DoS Protection function

enabled, the device can analyze the specific fields of the IP packets

and distinguish the malicious DoS attack packets. Upon detecting the

packets, the device will discard the illegal packets directly and limit the

transmission rate of the legal packets if the over legal packets may

incur a breakdown of the network. The hosts sending these packets will

be added into the

Blocked DoS Host

List. The device can defend a few

types of DoS attack such as ICMP_FLOOD, UDP_FLOOD and TCP_SYN_

FLOOD.

Packets Statistics Interval: Select a value between 5 and 60 seconds

from the drop-down list. The default value is 10. The value indicates the

time interval of the packets statistics. The result of the statistic is used

for analysis by ICMP-Flood, UDP Flood and TCP-SYN Flood.

ICMP_FLOOD Attack Filter: Enter a value between 5 and 3600. The

default value is 50. When the current ICMP-FLOOD Packets number

4.7 Configure Static Routing

Note:

Static Routing submenu is only available in AP Router mode and AP client Router (WISP client)

mode.

A static route is a pre-determined path that network information must travel to reach a

specific host or network. If static route is used properly in the network, it can decrease the

network overhead and improve the speed of forwarding packets.

Static routing is generally suitable for simple network environment, in which users clearly

understand the topology of the network so as to set the routing information correctly.

When the network topology is complicated and users are not so familiar with the

topology structure, this function should be used with caution or under the guidance of the

experienced administrator.

4.9 Configure IP & MAC Binding

We can effectively prevent ARP attack and IP embezzlement by enabling the IP&MAC

binding. Within the local network, the device transmits IP packets to the certain target

identified by the MAC address. Therefore, the IP and MAC address should be one-to-

one correspondence and their corresponding relations are maintained by the ARP

table. ARP attack can use forged information to renewal the ARP table, and destroy

the corresponding relations between IP and MAC addresses, which would prevent the

communication between the device and the corresponding host. When the IP&MAC

Binding function is enabled, the IP and MAC relations in the ARP table won’t be expired and

renewed automatically, which effectively prevents the ARP attack.

Some functions such as access control and bandwidth control, are based on the IP

addresses to identify the access clients. The network administrator can allocate every

client a static IP, according to which he makes the access and bandwidth rules to control

the clients’ online behavior and the bandwidth they’ve used. Some illegal users may

change the IP address in order to get higher internet access. Enabling IP & MAC binding

function can effectively prevent the IP embezzlement.

Note:

After IP & MAC binding function is enabled, the IP bound to the MAC cannot be used by other MACs.

However this MAC can use other IPs within the same segment, which are not bounded by other

MACs, to access the network.

1. Go to the Network page. In the IP & MAC Binding section, click

Add

and specify the IP

address and MAC address.

Tips:

Click

Import

to quick import the entries in ARP table to IP & MAC Binding table. The imported

entries are disabled by default. You can select the desired entries and click

Edit

to enable it.

802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11b/g and 802.11b/g/n. We recommend

you to set the mode as 11b/g/n mixed, and all of 802.11b, 802.11g and

802.11n wireless stations can connect to the device. CPE610/CPE510/

CPE520/WBS510 has a frequency band of 5GHz, supporting 802.11a,

802.11n and 802.11a/n modes. We recommend you to set the mode as

11a/n, allowing both 802.11a and 802.11n wireless stations to access the

device.

Channel Width Select the channel width of this device. Options include 5MHz, 8MHz,

10MHz, 20MHz, 30MHz, 40MHz and 20/40MHz (the device automatically

selects 20MHz/40MHz, and 20MHz will be used if 40MHz is not available).

You can select corresponding channel width according to whether their

devices support it. According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a channel

width of 40MHz can increase wireless throughput. However, you may need

choose lower bandwidth due to the following reasons:

Increase the available number of channels within the limited total bandwidth.

To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other devices

in the environment.

Lower bandwidth can concentrate higher transmit power, increasing

stability of wireless links over long distances.

Auto (Only works within 0-xx km): Check the Auto option, then the system

will dynamically detect the distance. This function is available only when

the distance is less than xx kilometers. The value xx varies according to the

channel width you set. CPE210 does not support this option.

The distance value will be converted to a corresponding ACK timeout value,

and the ACK timeout value will influence the throughput performance to a

large extent.

Beacon Interval Specify the beacon interval for the device. Beacons are transmitted

periodically by the device to announce the presence of a wireless network

for the clients. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the

beacons sent by the device. You can specify a value from 40 to 1,000. The

default value is 100.

92

RTS Threshold Specify the RTS threshold for the device.

RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) is used to improve the data

transmission efficiency of the network with hidden nodes, especially when

there are lots of large packets to be transmitted.

When the size of a data packet is larger than the RTS Threshold, the RTS/

CTS mechanism will be activated. With this mechanism activated, before

sending a data packet, the client will send an RTS packet to the device to

request data transmitting. And then the device will send CTS packet to

inform other clients to delay their data transmitting. In this way, packet

collisions can be avoided.

For a busy network with hidden nodes, a low threshold value will help

reduce interference and packet collisions. But for a not-so-busy network, a

too low threshold value will cause bandwidth wasting and reduce the data

throughput. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes.

Fragmentation

Threshold

Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets.

The fragmentation function can limit the size of packets transmitted over

the network. If the size of a packet exceeds the Fragmentation Threshold,

the fragmentation function is activated and the packet will be fragmented

into several packets.

Fragmentation helps improve network performance if properly configured.

However, a too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless

performance caused by the extra work of dividing up and reassembling of

frames and increased message traffic. The recommended and default value

is 2346 bytes.

DTM Interval Specify the DTM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval for the

device.

The DTIM is contained in some Beacon frames. It indicates whether the

device has buffered data for client devices. The DTIM Period indicates how

often the clients served by this device should check for buffered data still

on the device awaiting pickup.

You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default

value is 1, indicating that clients check for buffered data at every beacon.

An excessive DTIM interval may reduce the performance of multicast

applications, so we recommend you keep the default value.

AP Isolation Enable or disable AP Isolation. With this feature enabled, the clients can not

communicate with each other directly.

Note:

AP Isolation is not available in Client mode.

93

Short GI Enable or disable Short GI.

Propagation delays often occurs in data transmission process and

influence the capability of the wireless network. It can result from multiple

factors, such as multipath effect. GI (Guard Interval) is intended to solve the

problem based on delays, and Short GI is used to improve the throughput of

the wireless network based on the GI in the environment with small delays.

When the delays are small. When Short GI is enabled, the guard interval will

be set as 400ns and this function will boost the performance about 11%.

In the with serious multipath time delay. Short GI function will reduce the

throughput instead of improving it.

Wi-Fi

Multimedia

(WMM)

Enable or disable WMM. With WMM enabled, the system will prioritize traffic

according to the data type when forwarding data. Time-dependent traffic,

such as video or audio packets, gets a higher priority than normal traffic.

We recommend you enable this function when you are running the video or

audio application.

QoS Enable or disable QoS. The QoS function improves the transmission

performance of video or audio traffic by optimizing the scheduling policy

between the AP and the clients.

Ping Watch Dog sets the device to continuously ping a user-dened IP address (it can be the

internet gateway, for example) to check the network connectivity. If there is a connection

failure then the device will automatically reboot.

Ping Watch Dog is dedicated to continuously monitoring the connectivity to a specific host

using the Ping tool. The Ping tool sends ICMP echo request packets to the target host and

listens for ICMP echo response. If the defined number of replies is not received, the tool

reboots the device.

6.4 Configure Dynamic DNS

Note:

The Dynamic DNS function is only available in AP router and AP Client router (WISP Client) mode.

The main function of Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is mapping the xed domain name to dynamic IP

address.

When a device connects to the internet through PPPoE or Dynamic IP, the WAN IP address

it gets is not fixed, which is inconvenient for the internet users to access the servers in the

local area network through IP address. With Dynamic DNS function enabled, users can access

servers using a xed domain name.

The DDNS server will establish a mapping table about the dynamic IP address and the fixed

domain name. When the WAN IP address of the device changes, it will make an update request

to the specified DDNS server, and then the DDNS server will update the mapping relation

between the IP address and the domain name. Therefore, whenever the WAN IP address

changes, users on the internet can still access the servers in the local area network using a

xed, easy-to-remember domain name.

The DDNS function that serves as the client of DDNS service must work with DDNS server.

Please register an account to DDNS service provider (NO-IP, Dyndns or Comexe) rst.

Картинка с сайта: manual-pdf.com

101

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates

the exchange of management information between network devices. Main functions of SNMP

include monitoring network performance, detecting and analyzing network error, conguring

network devices, and so on. When the network working normally, SNMP can monitor the

statistics, configuration. When networks have troubles, SNMP can detect and restore these

troubles.

Configure the device as SNMP Agent, and it can receive and process the management

message from the network management system.

1. Go to the Management page. In the SNMP Agent section, configure the following

parameters and click

Apply

.

Note:

Defining community can allow management systems in the same community to communicate with

the SNMP Agent. The community name can be seen as the shared password of the network hosts

group. Thus, for the safety, we suggest modifying the default community name before enabling

the SNMP Agent service. If the field of community is blank, the SNMP Agent will not respond to any

community name.

6.7 Configure SSH Server

The SSH Server function is used for the users to log in and manage the device through SSH

connection on the SSH client software.

SSH (Secure Shell) is a security protocol established on application and transport layers. SSH-

encrypted-connection is similar to a telnet connection, but essentially the old telnet remote

management method is not safe, because the password and data transmitted with plain-text

can be easily intercepted. SSH can provide information security and powerful authentication

when you log in this device remotely through an insecure network environment. It can encrypt

all the transmission data and prevent the information in remote management from being

leaked.

1. Go to the Management page. In the SSH Server section, configure the following

parameters and click
