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.
