FCC STATEMENT The WL5041 Router has been tested to comply with the FCC specifications. This device must accept any interface received, including interface that may cause undesired operation. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interface in a residential installation. [. . . ] LAN MAC Filter Mode: Select whether clients with the specified MAC address are allowed or denied access to the router. LAN MAC Filters: Filter packets from LAN machines with the specified MAC addresses. 17 Figure 12. LAN Client Filters: Filter packets from IP address destined to certain port ranges during the specified time. 18 Routing Routing is the act of moving information across an Internet from a source to a destination. Along the way, at least one intermediate node typically is encountered. Routing is often contrasted with bridging, which might seem to accomplish precisely the same thing to the casual observer. The primary difference between these two are bridging occurs at Layer 2 (the link layer) of the OSI reference model, whereas routing occurs at Layer 3 (the network layer). This distinction provides routing and bridging with different information to use in the process of moving information from source to destination, so these two functions accomplish their tasks in different ways. Port Forwards: Forward packets destined to ports in the first range to the LAN machine with the specified IP address. Application Specific Port Forwards: Automatically forward connections. The function is used for special applications whose outbound ports differ from the inbound ports. For this feature, the router will watch outbound data for specific port numbers. The router will remember the IP address of the computer that sends a transmission requesting data, so that when the requested data returns through the router, the data is pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules. DMZ IP Address: The DMZ feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing. The Port Forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the computer so the Internet can see it. 20 4. Static Routes: A static route is a pre-defined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. To setup a static route between the router and another network, follow these instructions: (1) Enter the following data: IP address -- The IP address is the address of the network or host to which you want to assign a static route. Subnet Mask ­ The Subnet Mask determines which portion of a destination IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion. Gateway ­ This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the router and the network or host. (2) Depending on where the destination IP address is located, select LAN or WAN from the interface drop-down menu. ! 21 Wireless Use the Wireless screen to configure your router for wireless access. Network Name (SSID): This field is the network name shared among all devices in a wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters, which may be any keyboard character. [. . . ] WPA Group Rekey Interval: Set the WPA Group Rekey Interval in seconds. RADIUS Server: Set the IP address of the RADIUS server to use for authentication and dynamic key derivation. RADIUS Server: A server that is responsible for receiving user connection requests, authenticating the user, and then returning all of the configuration information necessary for the client to deliver the service to the user. 6. Selecting WEP enables WEP data encryption and requires that a valid network key be set and selected unless 802. 1X is enabled. [. . . ]
