[. . . ] Passphrase: The length should be 8 characters at least. www. encore-usa. com 32 Advanced This screen enables users to configure advanced wireless functions. Beacon Interval: Type the beacon interval in the text box. User can specify a value from 25 to 1000. The default beacon interval is 100. RTS Threshold: Type the RTS (Request-To-Send) threshold in the text box. If data flow is irregular, choose values between 256 and 2346 until data flow is normalized. Fragmentation Threshold: Type the fragmentation threshold in the text box. If packet transfer error rates are high, choose values between 1500 and 2346 until packet transfer rates are minimized. (NOTE: set this fragmentation threshold value may diminish system performance. ) DTIM Interval: Type a DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) interval in the text box. User can specify www. encore-usa. com 33 Wi-Fi Protected Setup This screen enables users to configure the Wi-Fi Protected Setup function. WPS: Enable or Disable the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) function Status: Display the status (Un-configured State/Configured State) information of WPS. Self-PIN Number: Display the current PIN number of the WLAN Router. Client PIN Number: Type Client's PIN number the client uses to negotiate with the WLAN Router via WPS connection. It is only used when users want their station to join Router's network. Push Button Configuration: Clicking the Start PBC button will invoke the Push Button Configuration (PBC) method of WPS. Push the WPS button on the client side when users want their station to join Router's network. www. encore-usa. com 34 LAN This page allows the user to configure LAN and DHCP properties, such as the host name, IP address, and subnet mask. Basic Host Name: Type the host name in the text box. The default host name is "Encore". IP Address: This is the IP address of the WLAN Router. Subnet Mask: Type the subnet mask for the WLAN Router in the text box. The default subnet mask is 255. 255. 255. 0. DHCP Enable the DHCP server to allow the WLAN Router to automatically assign IP addresses to devices connecting to the LAN. All DHCP client computers are listed in the table at the bottom of the screen, providing the host name, IP address, and MAC address of the client. Start IP: Type an IP address to serve as the start of the IP range that DHCP will use to assign IP addresses to all LAN devices connected to the WLAN Router. www. encore-usa. com 35 End IP: Type an IP address to serve as the end of the IP range that DHCP will use to assign IP addresses to all LAN devices connected to the WLAN Router. Lease Time: The lease time specifies the amount of connection time a network user be allowed with their current dynamic IP address. Routing This page allows the user to setup Static or Dynamic routing Static Network Address: Enter the target IP address in the textbox. Network Mask: Enter the subnet mask in the textbox. Gateway Address: Enter the gateway IP address in the textbox. Interface: Select "LAN" or "WAN" from drop-down list. Metric: Enter the number of `hops' in the textbox; normally you can set the value to `0'. Click the "Add" button to save the settings. www. encore-usa. com 36 Dynamic Dynamic routing is a technique developed to automatically adjust routing tables in the event of network failures. The most common dynamic routing protocols is RIP (Routing Information Protocol), which is very common on small networks. Routing Table This page provides a routing table. www. encore-usa. com 37 Access Control This page enables you to define access restrictions, set up protocol and IP filters, create virtual servers, define access for special applications such as games, and set firewall rules. Filters Using filters to deny or allow the users to access to the internet. [. . . ] Attacks: Displays information about any malicious activity on the network. Dropped Packets: Displays about packets that have not been transferred successfully. Notice: Displays important notices by the system administrator. Statistic This screen displays a table that shows the rate of packet transmission via the WLAN Router's LAN, Wireless and WAN ports (in bytes per second). Click "Reset" to erase all statistics and begin logging statistics again. www. encore-usa. com 54 Restart Click "Restart" to restart the system in the event the system is not performing correctly. www. encore-usa. com 55 Firmware This screen enables users to keep the WLAN Router firmware up to date. Please follow the below instructions: Download the latest firmware from the Encore's web site, and save it to disk. Click "Browse" and go to the location of the downloaded firmware file. [. . . ]
